GOVERNOR TERRELL
Georgia’s New Chief Executive
Inducted Into Of ce
CEREMONIES WERE IMPRESSIVE
Retiring Governor the Recipient of
Silver Service a3 a Loving Testl-
i moniat from His Erstwhile
Official Family. I,
In the presence,of a vast throng
that filled the hall of the house of rep¬
resentatives from gallery door to
speaker’s desk, and surroundej by
members of house and senate, state
officials, justices of the supreme court
and a splendid gathering of men and
women of Goorgia, Hon. Joseph M.
Terrell was formally inaugurated gov¬
ernor of Georgia Saturday it noon.
The inauguration ceremonies were
extremely simple; a prayer, a speech,
the oath of office and all was over, and
yet they were impressive, stirring and
full of meaning to every Georgian who
was their witness. It was at the re¬
quest of Mr. Terrell that the joint com¬
mittee omitted all unnecessary or cum¬
bersome features, and the whole cere¬
mony consumed scarcely half an hour.
Long before the noon hour the gal¬
leries began to fill, tho ladies predomi¬
nating, and when 12 o’clock arrived
the only standing room to be had was
outside the gallery uoors. Likewise
the floor of the house was invaded and
gallant legislators stood in tho rear,
while dainty femininity occupied their
seats. The aisles were flllod with
chairs for visitors until it seemed im¬
possible for another to get within the
hall, yet the proverbial one more came
and found a way.
The assembled spectators brought
with them all their state enthusiasm
and there was prolonged applause and
cheers when the entry of governor and
governor elect was finally announced.
Throughout the inaugural address they
gave generous expression of approval
of the sentiments and principles of the
new governor.
Chief Justice Simmons, of the su¬
preme court, administered the oath of
office to Mr. Terrell,
All other state house officers, with
the exception of State School Commis¬
sioner Merritt, whose term does not
begin until January 7, began their new
terms Saturday. After taking the
oath of governor Mr. Terrell returned
to his office and administered the oath
of office to the state house officers.
Retiring Governor Honored.
Governor Candler was presented
with an elegant chest of silver before
the inaugural ceremonies by the state
house officers as a token of the esteem
and high regard in which he is held
by the members of his official family.
The present was quite a surprise to
the governor. At the presentation the
officials bade the governor a last fare¬
well as governor. Many oi the officials
wept as they shook his hand. Gover¬
nor Candler was in tears when he bade
his cabinet good-bye. The scene was a
very impressive one.
About the sides of the chamber
stoo ; the state house officers and their
clerks. At one end of the room stood
the governor, trembling with deep
emotion, while the tears that he found
impossible to hold back welled up to
his eyes and coursed down his cheeks.
In extending his thanks the governor
said: “You have caused me to shed
tears for the first time in twenty
years.” It was an affecting moment
and there was not a man in the room
but was deeply moved. None attempt¬
ed to hide their feelings.
Deputies Leave Strike Region.
One hundred deputies, who were on
guard at the collieries in Shamokin re¬
gion during the strike, were sent home
Saturday night under orders to be
ready to return at any time when noti¬
fied, as it is feared there will be local
strikes if all non-union men do not re¬
sign their positions.

Grand Jury at Indianapolis Corrals
Twenty-Three Ghouls—Five
Physicians Under Ban.
Tlie Indianapolis grand jury has re¬
turned twenty-throe Indictments In the
grave robbery cases which has stirred
that city for several weeks.
The indictments were returned on
the evidence of Rufus Cantrell, the
confessed leader of the ghouls.
Among those indicted are live of tho
leading physicians of the city, who are
connected with the medical colleges.
According to Cantrell the gang has
stolen scores of bodies. Thirty of those
bodies were recently found in a cold
storage plant at Louisville. Ky.
The indictment against the negro
ghouls in each instance simply men¬
tion one of the many bodies the indict¬
ed men are charged with assisting in
removing, as a basis for a prosecution.
In each of the Indictments against
the ghouls it was charged that the
stolen bodies were taken to the Cen¬
tral College of Physicians and Sur¬
geons.
There have been nineteen arrests and
twelve graves o-ioncd have been found
empty. The ghouls say two of tho phy¬
sicians accompanied them on several
of their trips. It has been shown in the
disclosures that the body of the wile
of one of the ghouls was sold by the
undertaker to a college.
Ton bodies were found buried be¬
neath a few inches of dirt in the base¬
ment of one of the colleges, four
bodies were found in sacks in me
streets, where the hard pressed ghouls
had dropped them, and one body was
concealed for two days in a saloon.
PANAMA TITLES FLAWLESS.
No Obstacles in Way cf Sale, Says
Attorney General Knox.
Attorney G- ncral Knox has decided
that if the United States should ac¬
cept the offer of the New Panama Ca¬
nal Company, submitted last spring,
for the sale of the canal lor $40,000,000,
it would receive through the parties
in interest a valid and unincumbered
title to the property.
This decision was arrived at after a
thorough and exhaustive investigation
of the situation in Paris, first by Spe¬
cial Attorney Charles \7. Russell and
later l>y the attorney general lorn self.
The attorney general formally submit¬
ted the opinion to President Roosevelt
Saturday. It makes about three hun¬
dred pages.
The history and nature of French
companies -of the kind in question are
explained at length in the opinion.
They are said to be altogether differ¬
ent from our corporations, but to be
easily understood if looked upon as pri¬
vate partnerships, whicn is their essen¬
tial character.
AFTER CARTER’S LOOT.
Chicago Friends of Convict Will be
Asked to Disgorge.
After many days of examination and
cross-examination the proceedings
brought by the government before
Master in Chancery Booth, at Chicago,
in an effort to recover money supposed
to be concealed in that city by friends
of Captain Oberlin M. Carter, came to
a temporary close Saturday.
After the Washington authorities
have considered the testimony the fed¬
eral agents will attempt to compel the
imprisoned army officer’s Chicago rela¬
tives to disgorge the money which is
said to be part of Carter’s share of the
loot arising out of the Savannah har¬
bor contracts.
CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.
All States, with Three Exceptions,
Will Engage in Battle of Ballots.
On Tuesday, November 4, all the
states save three will elect members of
the lower house of congress. The ex¬
ceptions are Maine, Oregon and Ar¬
kansas, where elections have already
been held. The organized territories,
including Hawaii," will elect delegates
to congress on the same day, and Porto
Rico will choose what is tho equiva¬
lent, a commissioner. As these dele¬
gates from the territories do not have
a vote, the election in the territories
has no effect upon the political com¬
plexion of the house.
BRITONS FEAR IRISHMEN.
Orders Issued Against Shipment of
Arms to Emerald Isle.
A London special says: The appre¬
hension with which the government
views the condition of Ireland can he
judged from the fact tnat the chief
constable of Birmingham has issued a
warning to all arms and ammunition
manufacturers not to sell goods for
shipments to the proclaimed districts
of Ireland. A special order also has
been issued that even to such parts
of Ireland as arc not proclaimed ship¬

CARNEGIE PRAISES AMERICA.
Premier Philanthropist Re-Installed as
Rector of St. Andrews Uni¬
versity, Scotland.
Wednesday Andrew Carnegie was
formally reinstalled as rector of St.
Andrews University at St. Andrews,
Scotland, in the presence of a large
and brilliant assemblage, over which
Principal Donaldson presided. The
honorary degree of Doctor of I-aws
was subsequently conferred by St. An-
Andrews on Mr. Carnegie, Ambas¬
sadors Choate and White, Professor
Alexander Graham, of Boston, and
Henry White, secretary of the United
States embassy In London.
Mr. Carnegie's rcctoral address
consisted of a lengthy study of the
comparative growth of the nations In
the paths of industrial ascendancy
with a strildrg commentary on their
future. In this speech perhaps the
most remarkable feature was an ap¬
peal to Emperor William to use his
influence toward the eventual creation
of the United States of Europe and
form a political and industrial union.
In this way only, Mr. Carnegie de¬
clared, can Europe conquer the foreign
markets or the American inva¬
sion. France. Germany and Russia,
.who alreany had taken joint action
against Japan, would suffice to en¬
sure a satisfactory union in Europe.
Dealing with the events which
caused the industrial supremacy “once
yours, but now passed to your lineal
descendant, who hears the industrial
crown,” Mr. Carnegie maintained that
,it was a physiological impossibility
for Great Britain to produce material
things rivaling In amount those of
countries thesize of America. Ger
many and Ru-fsia, nor would a union
of the empir 1 *■ change the situation,
for “neither i unada nor Australia
give promise of much increase In popu¬
lation. or industrial improvement. All
thought of material ascendancy even
with the British Empire united must,
therefore, he abandoned.”
Great is America.
Mr. Carnegie spared his Scotch au¬
dience no details. “America,” he said,
“now makes more steel than all the
rest of tile world. In iron and coal
her production Is direct and it is also
so- in textiles. She produces three-
quarters of the world’s cotton, The
value of her manufactures is about
triple that of your o-wn. Her ex-
ports are greater and the clearings
house exchanges at New York are al¬
most double those of London.”
HILL BEARDS THE TIGER.
For First Time In Ten Years He Spoke
in Tammany Hall.
A New York special says: For the
first time in ten years David Bennett

tending the meeting.

Bulger, candidate for lieutenant gov¬
ernor; John B. Stanchfield and Martin
IV. Littleton.

rade viewed at the Manhattan Club
by Bird S. Color and other candidates
on the democrate state ticket. Mr.

the club, where ho made a speech, af¬
ter dining with Mr. Hill and other
members.

RUBBER KILLS ENGINEER.
Train on Northern Pacific Held Up
and Thoroughly Looted—Large
Reward is Offered.
Easthound passenger train No. 2, on
tho Northern Pacific, was held up
Thursday night near Drummond,
Mont, and Engineer Dan O’Neill was
killed. O’Neill had been in the ser¬
vice of Ihe road longer than any other
engineer.
The train, which included mall, bag¬
gage and express cava with nine
coaches, left Missoula at 10:20 p. m.
It arrived after midnight at a place
two miles ensi of Drummond. Hero
the train was signalled to stop, and
tho engineer accordingly slowed up.
\\ hile doing so he saw a man creeping
toward him over the tender. The man,
who was armed, called to O’Neill to
stop Instantly.
The engineer look in ihe situation
at once and pulling open the throttle
tried to start the train at full speed.
The robber divined his purpose and
fired at him. Tho shot took instant,
effect and the engineer fell dead at
his post. The robber then proceeded
to rifle Ihe express and mail cars. Ho
plundered the regular mail and blew
open the sale in the express car, which
was wrecked by (he explosion.
Tho amount of plunder which he sc¬
oured is not known, but il is supposed
to be largo. The excitement on tho
train was intense. The sudden stop¬
page of tho train, followed soon by the
explosion, spread alarm among the
train hands and ihe passengers. Tho
darkness of the night anil the loneli¬
ness of the place added to the terror.
Word of tho attack woo Kent to
Drummond, whence it was telegraphed
to Deer Lodge, 50 miles away. Blood¬
hounds were sent out at onco and
steps were taken to keep vigilant
watch for ihe robbers.
It was assumed that at least eight
men were engaged in tho hold-up, but
the latest advices are (hat one man
alone perpetrated the murder and rob¬
bery.
Dan O'Neill, Ihe murdered engineer,
lived In Missoula and had a wife and
five children.
The robber boasted that he took
part In the hold-up of the Southern Pa¬
cific train near Portland, Oregon, about
a year ago. He made this boast to
Ihe train hands to terrorize thorn
while ho employed them to run the
train for four miles, that is to a point
two miles east of Drummond. He de¬
clared lie would ho hard to catch, na
he had a horse in the timber.
The Northern Pacific has offered a
reward of $5,000 for delivery, dead or
alive, of the robber and murderer.
The mask worn by Ihe bandit was
found on a mountain trail, two miles
from the scene of the hold-up, and af¬
ter giving the hounds the scent of tho
mask, tho animals immediately took up
the trail, which was then about eight
hours old.
WAR ON ORGANIZED LABOR.

Opposed to Unions.
The National Association of Manu¬
facturers of the’ United States of Amer¬
ica, through a circular letter being
mailed to every manufacturer In this
country, declares war on organized la¬

Particular slross is laid ou tnc ef¬
forts of labor to secure tho passage
of an eight-hour law before congress,
which Is called “vicious.” Recipients
of these letters are asked to become

,
Will Boycott Handling of Anthracite
Unless Their Ousted Brothers
in Coal Region Are All *’i
Reinstated. i»v •
Roports received Thursday from thd
entire anthracite region showed that
about 67 per cent, of the mines began
operation.
The collieries in the Lackawanna
region are In better shape for work¬
ing than those in any other part of the
region. Tho collieries in the Wyom¬
ing region, with a small output, are In
good shape, being free from gas and
water, but the large mines are still
hampered by water.
The same condition of affairs exists
in the Lehigh region.
In the Schuykill region the large
mines are reported to be in hotter con¬
dition for work than was expected.
All the mines in operation will be
short in their normal output for a day
or two. After such a long spell of
idleness the miners and laborers are
“soft" and not capable of doing a
hard day’s work, as when they were
“seasoned.”
Reports also received from all over
tho mining region (hat many engin¬
eers, firemen , pumpmen, carpenters
and company hands have failed to get
their places back. The old employes
are faring better with tho Individual
companies than with ihe large com-,
panics. A delegation of carpenters
made up of employes from many col¬
lieries in tho Wyoming region called
at President Mitchell’s headquarters
at noon Thursday and laid their griev¬
ances before him. They said minors
and laborers had no trouble In getting
work but other employes holding good
paying positions before they went on
strike generally found their places
filled with other men and the mine
superintendents said there would be
no change for the present. Mr. Mitch¬
ell advised Mb callers to he patient and
await developments.
Engineers Threaten Trouble.
It was stated in Chicago Thursday
by President Morton, of the Interna¬
tional Association of Stationary En¬
gineers and Firemen, that all members
of the association all over the country
would be ordered to refuse to handle
any anthracite coal until each member
affected by the anthracite strike Is re¬
instated on the basis on which the
miners returned to work.
The brotherhood has a membership
of 14,000, und has local unions in 114
towns and cities, Including Chicago,
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cin¬
cinnati, Cleveland, Baltimore, St. I-ou*
1s, Kansas City, Denver and San Fran¬
cisco.
President Morton declared his or¬
ganization was In a position to shut
out hard coal in all cities where it had
local unions, and said such action
would he taken if necessary for the
protection of members of the union
who had lost their positions on account
of the anthracite strike. Thls la
President Morton’s view of the situa-
tlon:
"According to all reports from the
oastern mines our men arc getting tho
worst of it and while the miners are
being re-instated, they are left out In
tho cold. Our organization does not
propose allowing its members to be
victimized, and as wo cannot call a
strike at the mines, no union man
seeming to he in possession of the jobs
wo will attempt to secure Ihe rein¬
statement of our members by shutting
out anthracite coal everywhere we
can
“While negotiations looking toward
a settlement were on, we did not wish
to Interfere in any way, although we
feared our men would get tho worst
of it. We have supported the miners
in every manner during the striko, and
believe the action of the firemen and
engineers In quitting work helped ma¬
terially to win tho light.”
