JO MYSTFRIOUS ,„, n rrn.niim w Y GONE r«r»nr lo III [Ol LMIUUOLI UUISL. - : Railway Give ; Officials of the Southern Out Statement Telling How Dis¬ astrous Rear-End Collision Occurred. The cause of the awful wreck on the Southern in which President Sam¬ uel Spencer and his party of promi¬ nent New York and Baltimore men lost, their lives, is laid absolutely at the door of C. D. Mattoax, the opera¬ tor who was in charge of the block telegraph station at Rangoon. Mattoax, who disappeared after be¬ ing relieved less thau an hour after the wreck, has not been found, de¬ spite the fact that railway detective*, have scoured the country around the wreck and his home at Sandy Level, in Pittsylvania county, Va., some forty miles from the scene of the ac¬ cident on a small branch line of the Southern. An official of the Southern railway late Friday afternoon stated 1hat the company was desirous of apprehend¬ ing Mattoax in order to secure a state¬ ment from him that might, throw some light on the causes that led him to allow two trains in the same block at; Ihe same time, This official was not prepared to state whether or not the company would take steps to pros¬ ecute the missing operator and he did not then know if ha could be prosecut¬ ed under the laws of the state of Vir piriia. An examination of the telegraph'* sheets kept at Rangoon and Lawyers block offices by the representatives of the Associated Press discloses the fact that Mattoax allowed train No. 33, the Jacksonville express, upon the block, the train passing his station, getting a clear track from him at 6:06 o’clock. The operator at Lawyers, the noxt station , ahead, , , claimed , . that Mat loax did . ' not ask , him , , for , a „ clear . track for ...

HEINZE PROTECTS DEPOSITORS. Gives $100,CCO to Reimburse Those Who Had Faith in Him. Receiver Wilson, of the Aetna bank, of Butte, Mont., reported Friday that he had received a check from F.

NEW orleanshard hit In Loss of Cotton Business the Past Year—Worst Season Since Founding of Exchange. A big falling off in the cotton busi ness of New Orleans during the year ending August 31 last, is indiented in the annual report of the cotton ex change issued Friday night. This has been the worst of the year for spot cotton business in New Orleans, says the report, since the in¬ auguration of the exchange thirty-five years ago. The cause of this record-breaking falling off is explained as largely due to abnormal conditions and to dis¬ asters in the sections immediately tri¬ butary to New Orleans. Gross receipts of American cotton at the port of Naw Orleans were equi¬ valent to 14.75 per cent of the com¬ mercial crop of the United States, as compared with 20.07 per cent the year before. Speaking of the receipts in presses, which were 36 per cent under last season, the report says that in addi¬ tion to the disasters already mention¬ ed it is believed New Orleans suf¬ fered from diversion in other centers. “We continue,’’ says the commit¬ tee of supervision, “to be practically shut opt of Texas through the ruling of tho railroad commission, and for other causes, and out of the crop of that state and Indian Territory of •’i.021,899 bales we received only 170,- 423 bales.’’ A recommendation to establish a di¬ rect wire system between the New Or¬ leans nnd New York exchanges, the two bodies to own the wires jointly, was made by the commitsslon on in¬ formation and statistics which has been investigating the telegraph ser¬ vice SEPARATE CARS FOR RACE3.

The East Denbigh by election is ex¬ citing the keenest interest in politi¬ cal circles, and both Major Griffith Boscawe and Mr. Hemmerde, the Lon¬ don barrister, who is t-he Liberal can¬ didate, are holding meetings innumer¬ able throughout the constituency. The latest phase of the campaign is “The Battle of the Mugs.’’ Major Griffith Boscawen dlscoverei that pint en* amelled mugs had just been served out to the Jqubighshire Royal Welsh Fusilier Volunteers. He complained of the mugs being ‘ made in Germany,’’ as a label displayed underneath the mugs showed, Mr. Hemmerde said that the mugs were not ordered by the present. Liberal Govornment, but by the late Tory Government. Major Griffith Boscawen last night chal¬ lenged him to support his statement. Furthermore, Mr. Boscawen says the Liberal Government are blamable for allowing the objectionable mugs to be distributed to the volunteers. In Ike course of a chat with me last night the Major raid he was still making inquiries as to who actually ordered the mugs. The election itself is prac¬ tically a sideshow compared with the “mug" controversy, but one thing is certain: Major G-riffith Boscawen has gained many Liberal voters’ support by unfolding the tale.—Pali Mall Ga zette. Hi# Handwriting Won. Vlctorien Sardou has said that h« owed his first success on the stage to his excellent handwriting. He had sent in an often-rejected play to the Odeon management for consideration and the manuscript was thrown, with aome 50 others, on the table. One day at rehearsal the charming actress, Mile. Berengere, was attracted by tffie handwriting and took up the manu aoript, crying, “What an excellent hand!” This caused her to read the play, and her strong recommendation to the directors led to its reading and acceptance by them. Sardou Is now wealthy.—Tit-Bits. OVER AND ABOVE. “Mother, does Dr. Smith wear hi# everyday clothes under that long white gown when he preaches?” ask¬ ed a little girl who had seen the edge of the minister’s trousers umder the Fobe. “Yes. dear,” was the reply. “Well,” she continued, “now I know why it Is called a surplus.”—Harper's Weekly. NEW YEAR’S CALLS A New Drink to Replace the Old Time “Apple-Jack.” Twenty-five years ago the custom of making New Year's calls was a de¬ lightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more “egg-nog" or "apple-jack” than they could suc¬ cessfully carry. Then the ladies tried to be charita¬ ble and the gentlemen tried to be as chivalrous as ever and stand up at the same time. If anyone thinks there has not been considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century in the use of alcoholic beverages, let him stop to consider, among other things, the fact that the oid custom of New’ Year's calls and the gen’«el tippling is nearly obsolete. The custom of calling on one’s friends, however, at the beginning of the new year, is a good habit, and another good habit to start at that time is the use of well-made Postum instead of coffee or spirits. A Staten Island doctor has a sensi¬ ble daughter who has set Postum be¬ fore her guests as a good thing to drink at Yule Tide, and a good way to begin the New Year. Her father writes: “My daughter and I have used Postum for some time past and we feel sure it contains wholesome food material. “I shall not only recommend it to my patients, but my daughter will be most pleased to give a demonstration of Postum to our Christmas and New Year's callers.” Read "The Road to Wellville,” in pgks. “There’s a rea¬ son.” MODERN LUCRETIA BORGIA Philadeiphia Woman Poisons Her Husband, Children and Two Other Persons to Secure Insurance. The most remarkable case of whole¬ sale poisoning of persons to secure Insurance money that has ever been unearthed In Philadelphia is charged against Bridget Carey, who was ar¬ rested at a late hour Tuesday night. The woman, who is 32 years of age, is charged with having poisoned her husband, Patrick, and her two chil¬ dren, Mary, aged 8 years, and Annie, aged 6, who died a week ago, and Pat¬ rick and Cecelia Cook, tenants in thff Carey house at 1492 Hamilton street. All of the alleged victims died with¬ in eleven months and the police allege that Mrs. Carey benefited by their deaths to the extent of $1,000 through the collection of insurance. The wo¬ man's arrest followed an investiga¬ tion made into the deaths of her two children, which occurred last week, it was said at the time that their deaths were caused by eating poisoned candy or candy that contained deleterious substances. An analysis of the candy, such as the children are said to have pur¬ chased. showed that it contained no poisonous substance, and when Cor¬ oner's Physician Wadsworth made an analysis of the stomachs of the chil¬ dren he found the little girls died from arsenical poisoning. According to Captain of Detectives Donahv, it was learned that the chil¬ dren were insured for $125 each and that Mrs. Carey collected this amount after their deaths. The police officials say they learned that the woman had secured rat poison, and on further in¬ vestigation it was found that Patrick and Cecelie Cook, brother and sis¬ ter, who lived with Mrs. Carey, had died within a few months under sus¬ picious circumstances. Miss Cook had been the lessor of the house, and Mrs. Carey wns a tenant. The police officially say that Miss Cook, was insured for $200 in favor of Patrick Cook, her brother, and that on August 13, she died. Patrick had been insured for $300 in favor of ins sister. He collected the insurance on her policy after her death and Mrs. Carey took up the lease of the house. Thereupon Patrick Cook made his in¬ surance in favor of Mrs. Carey and shortly thereafter was stricken ill and died. BLACK MAN HIGHLY HONORED. Monument to Beloved Old Time Negro to Be Erected by White People. The funeral of Uncle Smith Knox, an old and highly respected negro of Summerville, Ga., took place Monday. In many respects it w s a very re¬ markable funeral, it was held in the white Presbyterian church, of which he had been a member for a long time, and of which he had been sexton for forty years, missing only three serv¬ ices during that time. The services were conducted by Rev. R. S. Burwell, his pastor. The congregation, which was com¬ posed about equally of whites and Macks, was visibly affected by the touching services. It Is not too much to say that no man In the community could he more universally missed than Uncle Smith. His life was a blessing to the entire community. He was a shoemaker by trade, but his shop was probably more often visited by those in search of spiritual comfort thau for business. Whites and blacks alike loved and honored him. The floral tributes were beautiful and attested the high es¬ teem in which he was held. The white people of the community have already raised a sufficient sum with which to erect a handsome mon¬ ument as a memorial to him.
