D., Dec. 24.—Eight men were killed outright and thirty-seven persons were injured, some probably fatally, when the southbound train on the Minneapolis. St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie crashed into a switch en gine in the railroad yards here at 2:10 o’clock Sunday morning, <>ne of the injured died after his re moval from the wreck, and six others, it Is thought, cannot survive their In juries. All of those killed were in the smoking car, which was completely telescoped. Train Was Crowded. The train was crowded with people bound for their homes In the East to spend tiie Christmas holidays. The en gineer had just blown his whistle for th^s station, and many of the passen gers were on their feet when the crush came. They were thrown into writhing heaps on the floor of the car. verturned stores soon set Are to the wrec kage, and the rescuers had to work hard to cheat the flames of vic tims. Only a few of the passengers In lie day coaches were injured. The leepers did not leave the rails, and there were no casualties In the Pull man car**. List of the Dead. Following is the list of the dead: CHARLES BACKI’S, Bergen. X. D. M. J. VOLKERIXG, of Anamoose, Win., en loltte to visit his mother at Osceola. Wig. JOHN HATTEUBl'RG, Anamoose. X. I).

Both engine crews saved their lives by jumping. It is said the switch en gine had been given a portion of the running time of the passenger train In which to shift cars in the yards, and It was supposed that the passenger train had made up more of its lost time than had been anticipated by the crew of the switch engine. The train wrecked was the accommo dation which runs from Moosejaw, Sas katchewan, to St. Paul. It was about two hours inte and was going at a rapid rate. Engines Totally Wrecked. Both engines were totally wrecked and the passengers were thrown down a small embankment at the side of the track. Several of*the day coaches were turned bottom side up and the passen gers pinned beneath the wreckage. Rescue parties left Enderlin, which is the division headquarters of the road, and worked until daylight taking the dead and injured from the debris. AIT GEORGIA BRUCATO.

TRIBUTE TO SAM JONES IN ‘AMERICAN REPUBLIC' No finer tribute or tenderer bns beer written of Georgia’s great evangelist, Rev Ham .tones, than appears in the Initial nuin her of Sidney C’. Tapp’s new magazine, American Republic. Mr. Tapp has written of the dead evangel 1st under the heading, “Sam Jones Duilded Greater Than Alexander the Great.” Ia language rich with feeling and appreciation, the writer tells of the grief that tilled every heart when the news was flashed—"Ham Jones is dead.” lie paint* the? scene of the funeral train moving into the cilpitnt city hearing the distinguished dead, and the sor row so plainly mirrored In every face as the thousands moved by to look for the last time upon the still form of him who had moved multitudes to a higher life. The riter says: "The proud images of great sons of the great commonweu 1th of a splendid civiliza tion seem' to have been guarding the mortal remains, not of a man who had led a charge iu battle, not of a man who hnd produced carnage and death, not of a man who had directed the helm of the ship of state, not of a man who had interpreted and con strued the laws of his country, hut of a man who had told the ‘old, old story’ to the plain people.” In dosing his beautiful tribute. Mr. Tapp ends with the following titling words: "This Is the flrst opportunity we have had to pay a just tribute to "your great life. It Is ended and humnnltv Is better by you having lived. We are all standing In the full glow of the coming sunset; be hind us are the shadows on the track; be fore us He the dark valey and river; when we mingle with Its dark waters we would east one lingering look for the Star of Hope and lose ourselves In that saving faith tbnt guided you over and then uwnke In the Eternal Flty, when* you iiud nil the deemed are at rest, and there will be no r hina SPECIAL TRAINS DUR ING HOLIDAYS BE TWEEN ATLANTA AND ALBANY VIA CENTRAL OF GEOR GIA RAILWAY.

The cotton Industry in the island empire NEWSBOYS' CHRISTMAS MADE HAPPIER BY GIFT FROM THEIR OLD FRIEND Rather frosty work, selling newspa per* such days as these, Isn't It? The little fellows try to keep warm by running and yelling, hut the Angers beneath tho ragged mittens are mighty stiff and blue sometimes. If you have ever been a newsboy yourself—then you know what It means to run around corners where the wind blows cold, to dodge among street cars and motor cars and yell, "Extry! All about the big wreck," ami all for a penny or two. A. K. Hawkes, the viaduct merchant, lias thought of the boys. He used to be newsboy, away back when papers were different from those of today— long before he came to Atlanta to build up a business from capital begun by selling those same papers orrthe street. He has thought of them in a substan tial way. "Here are twenty-five brand-new dollar bills, 'Juiit from the printers,” said Mr. Hawkes to The Georgian. "I want you to give one, with this letter, to each of the twenty-five boys who seem to need It moat.” Each note was enclosed In an envel ope, with a little letter of Christmas cheer to the recipient from Mr. Hawkes. Those dollars will mean a whole lot to the little fellows. Many a Christmas gift for mother or sister, many a warm muffler which the boys have watched In the show windows as something far beyond their reach will have a new owner before the newsboy have gone home for the night. This Is not the first Christmas that the newsboys have known the gener osity of Mr. Hawkes. For years he has given them something on Christmas day. SALESMF.N-SLEUIHS WATCH OVER JEWELRY COUNTERS “You Is growing rapidly. THE FINAL SHOPPING can he done here best of all Jewelry, Silver, Watches, Art Wares, Brass Novelties, Clocks, Crystal Lamps, Diamonds. M aier & Berkele utd be siu prised.” remarked a salesman sleuth. In a Whitehall street Jewelry store, "how many ’bisters’ Christmas time brings forth. And they are people who would ley not be expected to do such tilings un- ’ less you were on the watch, for that sort of a game." Although it is not generally known, most up-to-date jewelry stores employ, at this time of the year, expert detec tives, sent to them by agencies In the North, who are expert jewelry salesmen as well. These agencies can supply detectives who are exj»ert In any kind >f work, and besides selling goods, they have their eyes constantly open for shop-lifters and sneak thieves. In the language of crooks and detectives or cops, as crooks call them, a shop lifter who works jewelry stores Is a 'Mister.’ and about this time of the year they work their graft harder than at any other time. The crowds which till the stores make their work easier. In a well-known Whitehall street Jewelry store there is an expert sales man. sent tpere for the holidays, and to look at him, one would never imag ine lie was a detective. But he is, and he Is constantly watching his custom ers. • "If precautions were not taken." he continued, "the lo$s to Jewelry stores at this time of the year w’ould be an Immense one. Only this morning I de tected a well-dressed woman priming away a brooch set with diamonds. And when I called the turn she didn't scream or faint. She Just nervily re marked that it was her mistake. She was a 'bister*, and an expert at that. | On Saturday u well-dressed man at tempted to switch a phoney diamond ring In a tray filled w ith genuine dia monds. This is a game that Is often worked successfully, and ordinary jew elry clerks will get worked If their ■es are turned away for an Instant. These phoney diamonds look like genuine ones at a glance, and It Is gen erally not till later on that the swindle is discovered.” And all tho time this detective-sales man was talking his eyes were taking In everything that went on In the store.
