DR.. Ransom, in company with Mr..
o. VI. Paynter, well-known travel
ing salesman, in a two-cylinder Max
we'll runabout, driven by Oliver
Brown, a colored chauffeur, left
Gainesville some time Saturday aft
ernoon. About three miles north of
Ocala, coming along at a good pace,
they ran into one of Mr. ]. y. Tiller's
teams, which, driven by a negro,
was going north. The auto ran right
under the mules, and the wagon pole
struck DR.. Ransom on the chin,
breaking his neck and killing him
instantly.
AS soon as Mr.. Paynter and Brown
recovered from the shock, they tried
to pull DR.. Ransoms body out from
under the wreck. but had to have
help before they could do so.
A number of people were soon on
the spot, and the body was brought
on to Ocala. Sheriff Galloway, on
viewing the scene of the accident,
put Brown, the chauffeur, under ar
rest.
1t was evident that the accident
was caused by careless driving, and
the auto MIST have been running
without lights. The driver of the
mule team had no chance to get out
of the way One of the mules was
hrJ h0
probably die.
An inquest was held, and the jury,
Messrs. J. S. Engesser, Heron Todd,
D. T. Jeffcoat, Peyton Bailey, T. S.
Mathews and E. F. Lyles, brought in
verdict that Dr. Ransom came to
his death as the result of an acct
dent
In Judge Smiths court this morn
ing, Oliver Brown, the chauffeur,
had a hearing, and was fined $50
and costs. Judge Smith took occa-
sion to say that he expected to en-
force the law against careless driv-
ing whenever he had an opportunity.
As it was, tho Brown received the
maximum fine, he got off easy. Only
technicalities saved him from an in
dictment for manslaighter. His en-
ployer paid his fine.
DR.. Ransom's body was taken
charge of by McIver & MacKay and
sent to Gainesville.
Mr. Paynter, who was not much
hurt, tho terribly shocked, has re-
turned to Gainesville.
The Gainesville Sun says of the
accident:
Hundreds of Gainesville people
were saddened last night when in
formation of the accidental death of
DR.. A. ]. Ransom, the we'll known
veterinary surgeon with Offices at
the Oliver & Venable Company sta
bles, was received from Ocala.
The sad news of her husband
death was not made known to Mrs.
Ransom until $50 o'clock last night
and the shock threw her into a state
of Inconsistencies Beside the wife
Dr.. Ransom had one daughter, MISS
Kate Ransom, and the sincere SYM
pathy of everyone goes out to them
DR.. Ransom and family moved tC
this city from Williston last year
and had made many friends here
The doctor possessed a very jovia
disposition, which made for him {
great many friends. He was abou
forty-fve years OF age, and for {
number of years was a resident o
LAGRANGE, Ga, coming to Florida
: from that state. Before he located
in LAGRANGE his home was in Ken

~ as a veterinarian and as a, gentle
man.

do certain thing, and started out
with his wagon and team, but had to
stop on account of some accident, and
after worrying over his trouble re-

tiful as they ever were, and fell down
in an unconscious condition, and died

A gentlemen living near Enoree
went to Union last Saturday and
while there purchased four quarts of
medicine and on his return home had
occasion to stop a few minutes at
Wilburn & Sons store at Cross Keys,
and while there he was in the store

package; now if every voter in Union

PASSED BY SENATE BY VOTE OF
SO FOR TO II AGAINST.
Purchase of 100000 Ounces by
United States Authorized by the
Measure.

Washington.-As stimulant to the
silver market the Senate Saturday
passed the following legislation:
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America, in Congress
assembled, that the secretary of the
treasury is hereby authorized to an
ticipate the requirements of the treas
ury for the silver bullion for the sub
treasury coinage by purchases of bull
lion to an amount in the aggregate not
exceeding 100000 ounces, such pur
chases to be of the product of smelt-
ing works located within the United
States, and to be made from time to
time in his discretion, but limited to
the period of six months from and
after this passage of this act: Pro-
vided, that the price paid for such
bullion shall not in any instance ex-
ceed the average price of silver bull
lion in the New York market for the
Of January. 1914, and ending with the
month of June, 1914"
The vote by which the bill passed
was thirty-nine ayes to eleven nays.
It's passage was resisted by Senators
Burton, Cummins, Norris, Bristow and
others who argued that the govern
ment had just as much right to go in
to the grain market and become an ex-
tensive purchaser of wheat to keep
the price of wheat from going down.
This argument was combatted by
Senators Thomas, Shafroth and Smoot
in vigorous speeches. Shafroth said
one reason why the government
should not permit silver to become too
cheap is that very cheap silver would
be constant temptation to weak per
sons to engage in counterfeiting.
II silver was a cent an ounce, the
temptation to make ninety-nine cents
counterfeiting the coinage of a dollar
would be an incentive to many per-
sons, too strong to be overcome, he
said.
Party lines went to pieces in the
vote, although nearly all Of the Demo
cratic senators Oted for the bill.
Smoot, Thomas and Shafroth think
it will go through the House without
difficulty.

BILL TO BUY SILVER POPE'S FINAL MESSAGE

Rome, via London.-The pope in his
final message before his death ad-
dressed the following eXhortation to
the whole world:
At this moment when nearly the
whole of Europe is being dragged
into tho vortex of most terrible war,
with it's present dangers and miseries,
and the consequences to follow, the
very thought of which must strike ev-
eryone with grief and horror, we
whose care is the life and welfare of
SO many citizens and peoples cannot
but be deeply moved and our heart
wrung with bitterest sorrow.
And in the midst of this universal
confusion and peril, we feel and
know that both fatherly love and ap-
ostolic ministry demand of us that we
should with all earnestness turn the
thoughts of Christendom thither,
whence cometh help"-the Christ, the
Prince of Peace, and the most pow
erful mediator between God and man.
We charge, therefore, the Catholics
of the whole world to approach the
throne of grace and mercy, each and
all of them. and more especially the
clergy, whose duty furthermore it will
be to make in every parish. as their
bishops shall direct, public supplica-
ticn, so that the merciful God may,
as it were, be wearied with the
prayers of his children and speedily
remove the evil causes of war, giving
tc them who rule the impulse to think
the thoughts Of peace and not of af-
Fiction.
