Here In Washington, the greatest In

In both political parties In the Empire

that New York will hold the balance of

tle home In Canton to make way for
WJIlMtm Jennings Bryan and family.
Washingtonians are especially Interest
ed In the political fate of the Hon. Ben
jamin Odell, nominated for governor by
the Kepuhlleann. During the latter's
Congressional career he displayed re
markable tael, excellent Judgment and
managed lo Impress himself upon his as
sociates as a man of more than ordinary
executive ability. While he seldom par
ticipated Ur the debates In the House
when great party (pieatlons were In
volved, he Invariably came to the front
with practical business suggestions and
assisted In making them effective with
out making himself |>er*onully offirtoun.
The New York delegation looked to hint
for counsel and advtce. and but for Ills
quiet and unostentatious personality, be
might have been much more of u na
tional ttgure than he Is to-day. As o
member of the Committee on the District
of Columbia he endeared himself to Wash
ingtonians by bis straightforward, con
servative, hut strictly business methods In
dealing with local questions thx-lally.
Mr. mlel! and his family occupied a high
position and they would have undoubted

circles while here but for the death of
one of their children soon after taking
up their residence here. Mrs. ltdcil haa
a large circle of admiring friends who
predict that she would make an Ideal
and gr/icloua mlstrcwt of the executive
mansion at Albany. It remains to bo
-ecu whether the voters of the Empire
elate consider 'Mr. tided on his merits
or whether they will deal with him at
the polls as a mere understudy for Bose
Platt.
I*lll Vs. Murphy.
In Democratic circle* unusual Interest
centers around the contest between David
Itenttelt Hill and his former bosom friend
and imnate. Edward Murphy. Jr. White
members of the Senate, Mr. Hill and M..
Morphy maintained the most cordial per
eantil relations up to the time of their
F|gu over the Gorman and Wilson tariff
hill. Prior to that event they found much
pleasure In each other's society, and weie
frequently seen dining together at the
rspltol. attending theatrical performances,
witnessing baseball games and indulging
in ..thar pastimes when not engaged in
itt*ii dflklil dhltkM.
Although Mr Hill do** not posne** <ne
same amount of ••sporting Mood." which
Mr Murphy enjoys. It so h.a|>t>oned that
both of them were enthusiastic admirers
of the national f.imo—baaebotl. During
the baseball season. Senator* Murphy. Hill
and Smith of New Jersey, were regular
attendant* at the league gomes, played
a; National Park. H was the custom
for a long lime of this distinguished trio
to have the capMol every afternoon about
4 o'clock for the bail game. They had an
understanding with a colored hackmin,
who usually stood at the east front of the
mpitol. The latter’s name was Alfred
Taylor Murray, are I his regular employ
ment by Senator HUI soon gave him tho
nickname of "Murray Hill". Murray Is
unique apeclraen of the colored Wash
ington cab driver, and tie soon establish
ed confidential relations with the New
York Senators. It finally resulted In
£--n.tor Smith nk-ktjamlng him “Murphy
Hill." a title winch remains with him to
this day.
(.Harassed the Tariff.
One afternoon, while en route to the
hall game, the three senators were dis
cussing the tariff light then In progress In
the Senate. Murray followed the con
vernations closely ami auoti (Uncovered
that Senators Murphy and Smith differed
with Senator Hill on certain features of
the bill. The discussion was carried on
In a good natures! way, and finally Sena
tor HUI playfully asked the dusky coetch
nawi for his opinion on the tariff question.
''You seem to be pretty well Informed on
all subjects, Murray." said Senator Hill.
"Now, what do you think about a duty on
torn bread and possum meat?"
Murray scratched his kinky head and
rrinnlngly replied: "Senator, I hatea to
' ensign myaelf on de tariff question,
'cause It Is a subject which ptizxle* so
called statesmen."
The humor of the reply van appreciated
by all present. and (he reeult was a unan
imous vote that Senator Hill should [my
the admission to the ball around and also
tor the transportation furnished by Mur
ray. Murray still drives his cab from the
east front of the Capitol, and as a me
mrnto of his confidential relations with
'he three senator snamed, he wears an
old plug hat .now weather beaten ami
rusty, which Senator Murphy bestowed
upon him one afternoon after a summer
windstorm had wafted Murray's head
coverlnn to destruction. Murray continues
to take an Interest In New York politics,
and he has In stock a large supply of In
teresting reminiscences picked up while
driving Benator* Hill and Murphy to and
from the ball games.
Murphy for Governor.
The suggestion that Benator Murphy
may he named as the Democratic candi
date for Governor to run ugalnst Mr.
Odell gives additional local interest here
1" the New York campaign. While Sen
ator Hill made a brilliant record during
the debates In the Senate, hta colleague,
Benator Murphy, had more Influence In
Democratic counsels, and was regarded at
a safer and more valuable adviser when
great questions were under consideration.
Ills committee assignment* were better
than those given to Senator Hill and. al
though not a debater. Senator Murphy
was the equal of Senator Platt In aucceas
fully looking after New Ycrk Interests
In the Senate. Then, as now. Democratic
senator* looked upon Senator Murphy as
the real brains of the Democratic party
In Ihc Empire State. As n Democratic
"nator remarked a few days ago In dis
cussing New York politics:
Hill and Oroker represent the bluster
while Murphy possesses more brains, po
litical sagacity ami commonsense than
Dill and Croker combined."

Seldom have the railroads had so much
In prospect In Ihe way of fairs and carni
vals to he given by the elites In I his sec

been granted, end it h expected that large
crowds will attend. The passenger depart
ments of Ihe various linos Interested are
busy with their advertising matter, and
the soik-liora an looking out for Ihe pros
pective passengers to Induce them lo trav
el by their lines.
It chances that the celebrations come In
a hunch, all following fast upon one an
other. This month, next month and No
vember will lie devoted to the shows, und
opportunity will be given thoee anxious
for sight-seeing to visit the larger towns
of their neighborhood. Lists of the fairs
and carnival* have been prepared by tha
general passenger department*, and ar
rangements for properly ivorklng up an at.
tendance for them all are afoot, „
Leading the Hat Is tbe fltreet and Agri
cultural Fair, to he held In Macon Bept.
24-29. A rate of ate fare from all Georgia
points has been authorised.
The Athens Carnival will be held Oct,
1-9. Preparation* have been going oq
apace for this event,and It 1s expected lhat
the town will be alive with visitors. The
University and Lucy Cobb Institute will
have opened by that time, and the college
boy* and glrla will • ontrlbute to Ihe merri
ment. Special rules from a wide territory
have been arranged.
For the Southern Interstate Fair at At
lanta a rate of one fare from all points In
Georgia has been authorised. The date la
Oct. 10-27.
The Free Street Fair will be given In
Montgomery Oci. 5-20. The rate will be
one fare for the round trip from all points
within a r. lluv < about I<M miles
The Columbus Street Fair will be held
Oct. 29-Nov. 2. One fare for the nund trip
from point* within a radius of about ISO
miles from Columbus will he allowed.
Valdosta will doubtless attract a great
many visitors with Its state fair. The
enterprising town did good work In se
curing the event, and Its clttaena will do
all In their power lo make the fair a
success. One far# from points In Georgia
and Florida has b-en allowed by the rail
roads.
A committee from the Savannah Lodge
of Elks is busy with local passenger men
arranging for cheap rates for the Elks’
Carnival that la to be held here In No
vember. It la expected that no difficulty
will be found In arranging a one-fare
rate. The Elks are desirous of attracting
a great many visitors, and the rallroada
will gladly second their efforts.
The merchant* and business men of the
city would enter much more willingly Into
the arrangements for the Elks’ affair If
a cheap rate were named by the rail
roads. Many visitors would mean Increas
ed business,,and the Carnival would take
on a far more Important phase If ihe
local patronage were added to from a dis
tance.

Bavannnh I'tssesger Men Agreed
With Those of the West. ,
Railroad men in Savannah support the
view taken by those of the Santa Fe with
regard to the 22-year-old man out West
who wanted to ride on a half ticket
bought for Mm by bis father when the
aon was but a child. The Sunta Ke peo
ple claimed that a man could not ride on
a half-fare ticket, and passenger men ask
ed about the matter yesterday declare
they were right In that decision.
No such Incident as that reported from
the West, an account of which appeared
In the Morning News of yesterday, waa
ever a part of the experience of any rail
road mail questioned about the matter,
and one remarked that be thought It rath
er unlikely that there hod ever been any
such occurrence. His skepticism, however,
was scarcely warranted, for tha affair of
the half ticket, though extraordinary,

There were four of them and they were

delayed and well-earned reward had

"It le very easy to gel Into the wrong

P'urgot tile Extra Freight.
"I was working what we called Ihe
•third trick. (Run midnight to X o'clock In
the morning Our office coni roll.-I neatly
5<X) miles of track. We had three moun
tain ranges on our division, and every
railroad man knows what that means lo
a dispatcher. It was necessary to split
all our freight trains Into several sec
don* to cross these mountains, and aa we
had only a few telegraph office*, iml those
we did have were far apart, we had to do
some pretty ck*e figuring to prevent de
lay to train* This sort of work Is suffi
ctently trying In a cool oilmnie; In a
land where every one watt constantly on
the verge of collapse It was rendered
doubly haul.
"One night In August I went on duty
as usual at midnight anil received Ihe
trsnsfer of everything on (he division. Wi>
opened anew (rain sheet at 12 o’clock, and
after checking off with a blue pencil all
the trains that had reached their desti
nation. I placed thl* new sheet over that
used the previous day. There was an
order on the bock to run a regular west
bound water train ahead of time for a
l-oitg at about the ml-ldle of Ihe division,
and *t 1 o’clock I started It out I must
have been half nalep when I gave that
order to the otierator, for 1 neglected to
do whet every dispatcher does, what
I had done nlways before Issuing running
orders—l failed to look lit the old train
sheet Had I done so I might *llll he n
train dispatcher Instead of general mana
ger Now all of you know that a train
running ahead of time ha# the- rights of
an extra only. Ten minutes after receiv
ing the report of the departure of that
water train I glanred al the old sheet.
What t saw sent Ihe blood to my h*d
with a rush, for away up In one corner
of the she-1 I saw lhat an extra was
coming east. I had aenae enough left to
call up that station frun which the wa
ter train had Just departed tn the ’hope
that tt might have lingered In Ihe yard
and might still be stopped by the switch
men. But It was too lute. What could I
do? There was not another night office on
that part of the division and two trains
were rushing toward each other with
nothing to warn them of the wreck that I
knew must occur.
’’l have heard of men’s hair turning
white In a single night and I have read
of others being driven mad under condi
tion* more favorable than those through
which I llvsd for two hours that Au
gust night."
It was becoming Ihteresilng. Several
outsiders moved Ihetr chair* closer to
that of the speaker and the clerk so far
forgot hla dignity as to Join the group
A Dramatic Reetlal. a
“For 1® minute*." continued the ex-dla
pateher, "I lived over every smallest de
tail of my life. 1 followed those trains,
mentally, over every Inch of the divis
ion I knew Just about where they must
come together. It would occur on a sharp
curve where neither would see the other
until It would be Impossible to slop. I
could see the agony on the face* of the
engineer* and the firemen as they caught
one flash of the headlights; and then came
Ihe crash, the escaping steam, Ihe grind
ing and creaking of broken Umbers
But overall I heard theories and groan*
of Injured men. and every one of them
was a friend of mine.
"For two hour* I was obliged to con
tinue sending orders to forty or fifty
tralna on other parts of the road and all
the time I waa walling for the message
that would contain the detail* of the rol
llston. I tell you. gentlemen." here the
white-haired man rose to hla feet, stirred
by the recollection. "I wouldn’t live that
night over again for all the world. I
couldn’t tell you In an hour of all the
thoughts that crowded to my mind as I
worked and walled. Nearly all the men
composing the’crew* on these two trains
were married; I knew their wives and
their children. I had grown up among
them. And before the break of day. I
thought, they would tie widows and
orphans; and I. I should never dare to
look them In the face again. Perhaps the
l*4v would punish me. Here the Idea oc
curred to me that I must escape; It didn’t
matter where I went. 1 only wanted to
go where I should not be seen by those
who knew of my crlmlnul carelessness.
About 3 o'clock I had figured that In a
few moment# I should know the worst
By that time I was no longer lit Ip handle
tralna. and although I had said no word
to n.y call hoy he knew that something
waa wring, and without consulting me
awoke th chief dispatcher. I remem
hee>d saelng Johnny come Into the office;
then, I tuay aa well confess It, I laid
down on the counter, or someone put me
(here. The next thing I knew was that
water was being dashed Into my fare and
the chief we* saying ’Tome, otd man;
It's all right; they didn’t hit; they met
at Ludlow."
The climax was dramatic. Every man

”! never sent another train order In my
life; I never shall. That,” said the
speaker, s* he arose and motioned To the
clerk* for hi# key, “was how I ran train*
and allowed Them to arrange their own
meeting point. Hut then, as I staled In
the beginning, ft hapened In Arixona, the
