TWO ACCIDENTS
AT TANNERY
George Stanbery Had a Mar
row Escape From In
stant Death.
GRABBED A live WIRE
Slipped While on Top of a Bark
Stack and Death Was Near
= Result John flanagan, a IT,
Year-Old Boy, Falls Into a
Leach Vat and is Badly Burned.

Within a space of Il few moments,
two employees of the tannery were
seriously hurt Monday III different
parts of the yard, one being shocked
and burned by live wire, while the
other was badly scalded in one of the
watts.
George ,Stanbery, one of the oldest
and best known employees of the tan
merry was loading bark cart and
while on top of stack of bark slipped
and Instantly grabbed at the only
available thing to check his fall, which
in this instance was live wire which
passed just directly over hebark. The
wire was of 440 voltage and IL burned
deep into the hand in his frantic Ell
fort to escape. He made vain effort
10 get the other hand to the wire to re-
lease himself, but was unable to do so,
consciousness leaving him IN the estrug-
gle and TO this fact he owes his life,
for had he secured hold. with both
hands he would have met instant
death.
AS it was, Mr.. Stanbery was taken
from the bark stack In an unconscious
condition, and DR.. Smith. whoi had
just been summoned to look after John
flanagan, q l6-year-old youth who
had fallen into one of the watts, found
"a double JOB for him when he arrived.
The flanagan boy. who is son of
Bob flanagan, but who resides with
J. II. flanagan, his uncle, near the
tannery, slipped INTO a leach vat, feet
foremost and all the skin was taken
from his limbs from the ankle TO his
waist, his shoes protecting his feet.
The boy worked III the leach house

will be in the control of the democrats
for the first time since the ffty-third

Cleveland administration and lsh am
G. Harris, of Tennessee, was elected
president pro-temporet to preside in the
absence of Vice-President Stevenson.
Only once before, in the forty-six cou-
gress, had the democrats since before
the war been able to organize the up

AT that time Hayes was President,

FOR A QUART
And Now Both the Seller and
Buyer Must Spend 189 Days
In WOrkhOuse

Memphis, Tepn., NoH. ll.-Joe Cam
mings sold his wife for quart of whis-
key and was given 1888 days in the
workhouse when arraigned on the
charge. Robert Ray, the purchaser,
will spend a like term in the workhouse
for having admitted that he bought the
woman. AR
The charges against the two men
were made by visiting .urse OF the
United Charities, who stated that the
woman told her of being taken from
her own home 10 that OF another man
and being told by her husband 10 Ike
with the other man until he called for
her.
She told the nurse that. the men had
openly spoken of the quart of whiskey
as the consideration of the exchange,
and while she was indignant of the ter
ror in which she stood of both men
prevented her making any resistance
TO their demands.
Further investigation by fhc nurse
showed ihot Ray had an income Of Sl5
a week, without working, but that he
had numerous times sought aud receiv-
ed the aid of the United Charities un-

coal thus secured was secured was sold
to others at about half the value.

suggested that Mr.. Bryan's presence

From the point OF view of politices it
is thought that Gov. Wilson could

Washington, Nov. ll.-No sooner
was the result of last weeks election
certain than politicians began to di-
rect their attention TO the Cabinet
with which President Wilson will
surround himself. In the days dis
cussion there are two points of general
agreement. One is that Senator James
A. O'Gorman of New York will pro-
badly enter the new Cabinet, either as
Secretary of State or as Attorney Cen
eraI The other is that the most plau-
sible suggestion so far made for Secre-
tary OF Agriculture is DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley Of Indiana, until recently Chief
Chemist of the Department of Agri.
culture.
The way for Mr.. O'Gorman's EN-.
trance into the Cabinet was smoothed
by the election last week of ANEW
York state Legislature lbat will be
overwhelmingly Democratic. That will
guarantee the election of a Democrat
TO succeed Mr.. O'Gornan in the Sen
ate, and will allow him Lo'resign with
out injury to his party. In the Sen
ate Mr.. O'Gorman holds an unusually
high position, considering his brief
service. He is member of the i'm
portant judiciary Committee, and,
contrary TO precedent, is also assigned
to two other working committees y
that on inter-oceanic canals and inn
migration.
Mr.. O'Gorman's work on the Jud-
iciary Committee, has been recognized
among his associates, and, combined
with his record on the New York
bench entitled him TO consideration as
Attorney General. His duties on the
other two committees have both
brought him in touch with foreign af-
fairs, and in debates on the Panama
Canal and the abrogation of the Rus
sian treaty he was active on the floor
1t is on the strength of his work on
those two subjects that he is now
mentioned as possible head of the
Department OF state.
Politically, Mr.. O'Gorman'S appoint
meut for either most would have much
| to recommend it. 1t is almost a Ger
tainty that New York will have al
least one Cabinet place, and he to-day
is the most prominent Democrat from
that State. He is one of the original
Wilson men, and in spite of his Tam.
many affiliations he was, with Repre-
| sentative A. Mitchell Palmer of Penn
sylvania, among Gov. Wilson's mos
| prominent supporters at Baltimore
Since then he has followed Gov. Vii

politics, when his allegiance seemed Il
threaten an open break with Tam
many.
Little credence is given here TO The
revived report that Williams Jennings
! BRYAN will be Mr.. Wilson's S Secretary
of State, or that Mr.. Bryan will liald
| any post in the new Administration
That Mr.. Bryan would want any posl
atMr. Wilson's disposal is extremely
unlikely, while politicians agree thai
/ il is almost inconceivabIe that Mr.
Wilson should want Mr.. Bryan. The
political friendship of the two men is
not called openly in question. but it is

MEMPHIS MAYOR IS THE
BIGGEST MAN in STATE
Ed Crump Seems to Be in Position to Name the Next
Legislation He May Demand Will Line With Fusionists

Nashville, Tenn., Nov. l0.-With
Governor Hooper unqueslionably
elected and every one agreeing on
that point, the burning question now
is who will control the legislature and
what legislation will be passed. The
first question is one which no man
can answer for n certainty as the re-
suit depends on individuals who have
no instructions and who will do as
they please in lining u, with either
side Neither the regulars nor the
fusionists, us later returns show, have
decided control IN either house. On
paper il looks like there is an even
break with the senate in control of the
fusionists, and with the regulars in
control in the house, but Ills is no
cinch. The situation was never more
mixed on the eve of session OF the
legislature. The entire situation
seems right now to hinge on Mayor
Crumpo of Memphis. Mayor crump
is seemingly the most important man
in Tennessee politics right now and
everybody IS waiting on Crump and
the rest of the next session
of the legislature is in the hands Of
the Memphis mayor. Some months
ago it was predicted in these columns
that Crump would hold the balance of
power when the legislature meets.
When returns from the recent Election
began coming in ii looked like this
prediction would prove untrue ASIA he
fusionists seemed to have the upper
house, but it is generally conceded
now that Cecil defeated Peters III
which case each side has sixteen
members, and Crump holds the bal
ance OF power.
