KILLED
M. B. Curry, Soii'in.Law of
Senator Bacon, Meets
Death in Auto Smash
in Atlanta.
Atlanta, (i'a.. December 19.—Hurled
high into the air from the seat of the
automobile in which lit* was riding
north over the Washington street via
duct Major Manley it. Curry, paymas
ter - f the department of the gulf, and
a. son-in-law of 1’nited States Sena
tor A. O. Bacon, fell to his death, on
the Belgian blocks of the underpass
twenty feet below.
II<* was carried to the Grady hospi
tal. where it was found that the skull
was shattered tit the base and cites'
crus.led. Death same about thirty
minutes after the accident.
The recident occurred at the Court-
lam! street end of the Washington
street viaduct shortly, after 7 o’clock
last night, as Major Curry, in com
pany with Dr. William Carnes, was
returning in the automobile of the
latter from the home of Dr. Carnes'
father, where Major Carry had gone
■arlier in the evening in order to get
a kitten for tiis little girls.
As the automobile, which was being
driven by Dr. Carnes, neared th?
north end of the viaduct it was Im
possible on account of the poor light
to see plainly the concrete divide of
the underpass, which leads from
Courtland strret into Decatur street
beneath. The only light in th? vi
cinity being placed at the iKiint, im
mediately over the junction of Deca
tur and Courtland streets, the light
behind ihe automobilists, and its
shadow cast before them, causing i'
teem as if there was a level way
wh-re the concrete divide marks the
I>1 ice of the underpass, which divides
the viaduct at each end into two pas
sage ways, one on either side.
in the imperfect light Dr. Carnes
struck the heavy ocncrete divide til
most in Hie center. The auto sniash-
d into the railing with full force,
and ns the machine recoiled from tli-
dutch Major Curry was thrown into
he air. falling upon the Belgian Mock
wtntv feet below. Major Curry was
■arrietl to the* Grady hospital, and
lied a few minutes later. Dr. Carnes,
hough severelv bruised, wts able to
leave the hospital wlu-n lie learned
f the death of his companion.
Mrs. Curry, accompanied by Dr W.
W. Landrum, a lifelong friend of the
family, readied the hospital a few
minutes after Major Curry's death.
4t is carried by friends to the
home of the family on Fifth street.
Senator Baecn. the father of the wife,
was notified by telegraph, and Is cx
nected to arrive in the city sometime
todav.
Major Curry was the son of Hon
(. L. M. Curry, native of Georgia, w'io
arly moved to Alabama, whiclt state
he represented in congress before the
civil war. He .was^later. a inembei
of the Confederate senate. After th ’
war he was professor of English in
Richmond college. Richmond. Va.. and
trustee of the Peabody and

To My Friends in the Fourth Ward:
1 would appreciate It very much if
all voters in the Fourth ward who ure
favorable to my candidacy for the po
sition of alderman would come to the
polls today and cast their ballots. In
elections where there Is no opposi
tion, it is usual for a very light vote
to be cast. Relying on this fact,
tome citizens, in utter disregard of
the democratic custom of the an
nouncement of candidates prior to the
election, have attempted to run an un
announced candidate against me Unlay.
Their hope is that my friends may
slay at home, thinking there Is no
need for casting tlieir votes, and in
their absence from the polls to vote
nough votes for this unannounced
candidate to elect him. Tickets have
been printed with the name of this
citizen on them and the attempt will
be made today to land him In the
office.
On account of this secret movement.
thought it due to myself and my
friends who have always stood by me
most loyally, to let them know the
facts, and to urge on them the im
portance of casting their ballots In
the election at the court house today.
The polls open at nine o'clock in the
morning and close at four o'clock
this afternoon.
Respectfully,
H. J. ROWE.
