\ BOTH STRUCK BY A CAR
Only the prompt action of Rev. Ur. and Cain streets, at about 8 o'clock
EARL GREY.
Earl Grey, governor general of
Canada, will be one of the speakers
at the Peace Congress banquet
Wednesday night
C. A. Ridley saved Dr. Len O. Brough
ton and Mrs. Broughton from death
or more serious Injuries than they re
ceived Tuesday night, when tho two
were struck by*a street car at Peach
tree and Cain streets.
Dr. Ridley' was the only member cf
the trio who saw the ear approaching.
He pushed Dr. Broughton from the
track and grasped at Mrs. Broughton,
but her husband had already selxed her
and was pulling her from the track.
His efforts were too late, however, and
Mrs. Broughton was knocked down and
severely bruised by the front step. It
Is feared Wednesday that her spine U
Injured und that she must be placed in
a plaster Jacket for a long period.
"The action of the street car opera
tors Is surprising, .to say the least,” said
Dr. Ridley Wednesday morning. "The
car stopped a moment after the acci
dent to permit J5r. Block to get off and
come to our assistance. The conductor
looked back, saw Mrs. Broqghton on
the ground, and then the car proceeded.
No effort was made to learn the extent
of her Injuries or to Investigate the
accident."
The accident occurred at Peaelitrea
Tuesday night. It ts considered almost
a miracle that Mrs. Broughton was not
killed. Dr. Broughton's injury comes
at a time when he Is at the height of n
great effort to butld a tabernacle and
Institutional church, and his confine-
ment to his house Is looked upon by hi*
friends as a great blow to the move
ment. His Bible classes will be taught
by Dr. Ridley during Dr. Broughton's
enforced retirement, and Dr. Ridley will
also fill the Tabernacle pulpit on next
Sunday.
T. P. Hollis was the motorman *of
the car. while F. C. Turner was con'
ductor.
Officials of the street car company
state that the Impression that their op
eratlves did not stop to Investigate the
accident was a mistake. They state
that the cAnductor helped to assist Mrs.
Broughton to her feet and carry her
Into a drug store, and then telephoned
for an ambulance. The work on the
Masonic Templo has caused a fence
be built Into the street at this point
nnd there Is left no room for pedes
trians unless they walk on the tracks.
It Is stated that'the car was stopped >n
Its . own length, Indicating that It was
not running at a fast speed.

SHERMAN'S ROUTE
Information has been received here
to the effect that several Instructors
and members of the staff class at the
military training school In Fort Lea
venworth. Kune., will shortly begin a
horseback ride frtnn, Chattanooga to
Atlantu over the route of General Sher
man.
Two years ago Father Sherman,
son of General Sherman, started to ride
over the route taken by his father In
hls march to the sea, but the entire
South rose up In protest.
Father Shcrnmn started out from
Chattanooga with a military escort •f
regular cavalrymen from Chlcknmauga,
but the feeling against it became so
hostile that orders came from the war
department recalling the military es
cort. Then Father Sherman abandoned
hls trip near Cartersvllle.
It Is Improbable that the young mili
tary men and Instructors from the
training school will meet with such
hostile reception.

The 1907 crop of penchea on 10,000
trees was sold In Elbert county Tues

James E. Tate, of Middleton, Elbert
county, after looking over hls line or'
chard Tuesday, made the proposition to
an Elberton banker to sell the peach
possibility of hls 10,000 trees now for

of growers that no fruit remains alive.
The monetary loss to the county this

on the outlook.
Prominent Democrats
Delivered Addresses
at Anniversary.
New York. April 17.—William J.
Bryan was the chief attraction for the
Democracy of Brooklyn last night In
observance of the anniversary of the
birth of Thomas Jefferson. He was
given a great ovation and "The Assem
bly" was'fllled to overflowing.
Ex-Governor Tyler, of Virginia, said
the people of the South were practi
cally united for Bryan and that the
mention of hls name Is as potent In
flashing a magic spell of enthusiasm as
It was In '98. He believed that millions
of American voters would never for
sake the banner of Mr. Bryan.
Ollle James, of Kentucky, added an
emphatic word in behalf of the old
Democratic faith.
Mr. Bryan said hls sole desire was
that the Democratic party should enter
the next campaign with the strongest
Democratic strength It could find In
order to bring out a triumphant vote. II
was not necessary for him, he thought,
to be* a candidate for any office, as there
was Joy enough for him In private life,
provided he could get hls ideas Into
operation.
"We see so many Democratic prlncl
pies put Into operation by a Republican
president," he said, "I can Imagine
what Joy It would be to have those
principles carried out by a Democratic
president. Some time In the future I
shall decide what my place Is to be 'n
the next campaign. But I want to say
It will take the rest of my life to get
even with the people of this country for
the favors I have already received."

WITH CHAIR AFTER

Many Cities Were
Wiped From the

Special to The Georgian.
Greensboro, N. C„ April 17.—Dr. R. 1>.
Patterson at hls home, at' Liberty, In

chair, Inflicting Injuries from which she
died.
It Is reported that Mrs. Patterson wa*
holding a pistol pointed at her husband
hen he struck her.
Dr. Patterson went to call on a wom
an patient and Mrs. Patterson, It Is
said, objected to hls going. Upon hls
return.a difficulty ensued, and hls wife,
it in said, drew a platol upon the doc
tor. He raised a chair and struck her.
The tragedy shocked the people ,f
the village when It became known, as

For some time the marital relations
between the two. It Is stated, have been
anything but pleasant and difficulties

Mexico 'City, April 17.—Late dls
patches from the area of distraction In
the terrific Mexican earthquake show
that the 'devastation was greater than
at first supposed. Five cities have been
totally destroyed. Latest advices add
the towns of Ayrutla and Omeltspec to
the wrecked cities *of Chllpanclngo,
Chllapa and Tlxtla.
It Is reported that; Acapulco was
partly submerged by great waves which
dashed over the breakwater. Although
no breath of wind was stirring at the
time of the first shock, when the earth
began to tremble, the aea was lashed
Into a fury and as the shocks continued
the harbor took on the appearance of a
typhoon-swept sea. It Is said that no
ships suffered to any extent.
Communication by rail with Vara
Crus la entirely cut off, owing to tho
sinking of roadbeds on both the Mext
can and Inter-oceanic railways.
News that came during the evening
tended to contradict the dispatch that
came yesterday to the National Bank,
asserting that 500 lives had been lost
In Chllpanclngo. On the contrary. It
looked more and more with each pass
ing hour as If that bulletin had been an
extremely conservative estimate.
The government official Information
of only $7 new deaths In Chllpanclngo
and 89 In Chllapa, but it was admitted

LEFT A TRAIL
OF DYNAMITE
IN HIS WAKE
Scattered Explosive
Behind Wagon in
Street.
Totally unaware of the fact that he
waa leaving death-traps in hls wake, a
driver for Lone Bros., railroad con
tractors, Is said by the county police
to have been the cause of the exnlo-
slon which partially wrecked a trolley
car on Marietta street Monday night.
Investigations by Lieutenant Dunbar,
of Chief Turner's force, resulted In a
baskettu| of dynamite sticks being
picked up on Marietta street, and that
there were no other explosions, with
loss of life. Is considered almost mlrac
ulous.
No less than twenty-flve sticks of the
deadly explosive were picked up by
the county police along the route taken
by tho contractors’ wagon, and fur.
ther Investigation showed that during
the trip to the railroad camp the ex
plosive had dropped off the wagon
intervals.
It Is said by the police that one __
the cases containing the dynamite was
broken and that the Jolting of the wag
on caused ths sticks to tall out Into the
street and remain there as death-traps
for street car passengers and others.
According to the Investigations
Lieutenant Dunbar, the contractors ran
short of blasting material and sent one
of their wagons after a supply from
their magazine. It happened that one
of the cases was broken, and while
the driver peacefully went hls way,
the deadly stuff was dropping from the
wagon. •
It Is said that unless struck a heavy
blow, the dynamite In this shape would
hove been practically harmless, but 1
was shown by tho Monday night ex
plosion that tho sticks wouldn't stand
