THE HUSTLER OF ROME.
HE WEPT
PITEOUSLY
! A Handsome lad of 18 crushed by
a Flying Train.
MANGLED HE BEGGED
That his Life Might be Spared
Until he Could Kiss Papa
and Mama Goodbye.
Left Home With
out Cause.
Columbia, S. C., October I.—At
Gaston, S. C., a station on the
Florida Central and Peninsular
railroad, an eighteen-year-old lad
was killed in attempting to board
a southbound train as it dashed by
at midnight.
Persons in the depot heard his
cry and found him on the track
mangled a, id in a dying c mdition.
He gave his name as Samuel Wil
liams and his address as 2736 Ger
mantown avenue, Philadelphia.
He was a handsome lad, well
dressed, apparently of respectable
parentage and had $3.60 in a belt
about his waist. His story was that
he had run away from home with"
out cause and without saying goo d
bye to his mother and father, to
use his own words, and not wish
ing to spend his remaining money,
tried to get on the moving train
and lost his footing.
He was fearfully crushed be
tween the wheels. Gaston is a lit
tle country hamlet, and for three
hours it was impossible to procure
a physician, and after one finally
came the boy only lived fifteen
minutes.
When told that death was im
minent the poor little fellow sob
bed and pleaded only for time to
kiss his mother and father goodby.
The people of Gaston gave him
every possible attention, buried
his body as if it were one of their
own sons. They marked the grave
and can point it out to any of his
friends.

ONA STRIKE
This morning the Rome com
press started up its fires, but no
hands came to do the work.
It seems that a short while ago
one of the truckmen was informed
that whsps could be reduced from
$1 to 80 cents per day, and they
supposed he would inform all of
the hands.
L :st Saturday when rhe hands
weut to the office to get their pay
they received only 80 cents. Thev
raised a big kick and refused to
accept it because they had not
been notified of the cut. The 80
cents was finally ac.epted, hut
the men refused to work It is al
SO stated that the pressmen were
cut from $1,50 to $1,30 and they
alsowent out.
The compress is running today
but is using the weighers as truck
men It is not known how the mol
ler will pe fixed.
The Czar’s Ailment.
London, October I.—The Stand
ard’s correspondent in Berlin is
authority for the statement that
Professor Leyden diagnosed the
czar’s ailment as Bright’s disease
in an advanced stage.
On the other hand The Vienna
Tageblatt maintains, on the au
thority of a Russian diplomat, that
the czar is suffering from neur
asthenia, coupled with anaemia,
in addition to kidney disease. The
czar’s conditian, it is said, was
made worse by a cold which he
caught two nights before leaving
St. Petersbug.

Jacksonville F’a., Oct 1. —Ex-
citement ruus high as the day ot
the suite election approaches.
The streets have been thronged
all day long with men who could
do little else than “talk poltice,’
and heated and excited discussions
have been had on the street cor
ners.
The democratic leaders charge
Pleasant Holt, one of the young
men working for the independents
or railroad commission faction of
the democracy, with having made
a most incendiary speech at Red
wood hall Friday night, in which,
it is reported that he said ;“Our
side has the sheriff, the chief of
police and the jailer, with them
and if any of you on our side get m
to a fight at the polls you will be
tnraed loose at once, but the fight
ers on the other side will be forc
ed to put op $250 cash ’.bail »piec“
and bv the time they have done
this a few times they wont have

County Solicitor Christie says
that such - language is incendiary
and seditious and as soon as he
can have the necessary affidavits
prepared he will have young Holt
errested on the charge of inciting
the populace to riot.
If such talk is stopped now it
will prevent riots and bloodshed at
the polls, but if it is allowed to go
on unchecked the law-abiding por
tian of the community fears that
it will be unable to preserve the
peace next Tuesday.

the leading representatives of the
Hebrew race in the south, and
the president of the Mechanics
Saving bank in Memphis, died in
this city.
Yesterday his wil l , covering
mauy thousand dollars worth of
property was filed for probate and
it proves a most remarkable docu

The testator betrays the utmost
liberality in bequests to relatives,
servants and public institutions.
One bequest is to the new Memphis
Jockey Club.it bung eash for a stake
to be contested for etch year, to be
known as the Katzenberger memo
rial stake, toj be run for as long as
there is a racing association *in this
country The will says:]
‘ Should there be a son lorn to
either of my sisters-in-law, Cora and
Lizz : c—and I hope “er ; will be —
such male issue is to take share and
share alike of all my fishing rods and
tackle, except a line and a few hooks
to be buried with me, in order that
if there is any fishing in the other
world I may be provided with tackle
to enjoy the sport which has afforded
me so much delight in the present
mode of existence.”
The will concludes. “In reference
to my own burial I direct that there
be to religious rites and ceremonies
but that these be conducted by my
loving friends in Buch away as they
deem proper, and I further direct
that the formality oi interring a Bible
wiffi the bodyjbe dispensed with in

WELCOME RAINS
Fal! in Minnesota and Extinguish
Forest Fires.
Brainerd, Minn.. October I.
A heavy rain set in at 7 o'clock
yesterday morning and all fear
from rhe forest fires has now pass
ed. Friday night was a night of
terror.
The fires had oaten their way in
to the city limits and a fierce gale
was blowing the flames towards
the residence portion of the city,
Hundreds were fighting the Hames
all night and every one was awake
and anxious.
The smoke was dense and the
red glare of the angry Hames forci
bly reminded the residents of the
Hinckley disaster. Scores of farm
ers have been burned out in this
district. Many coming into the
city have lost all but the clothing
on their backs.
BARN BURNED
And two Valuable Horses Lost in
the Fire.
At 1 o’clock this morning the
family of a Mr. Floyd who lives
id Floyd Springs were aroused to
find their large barn in flames.
When discovered the file had
gained too much headway to save
anything. Besides all of the farm
produce farming ‘implerreut etc,
Mr Floyd lost two valuable horses.
This loss is a heavy one as be
arried no insurance, and he is a
c
man in moderate circumstanccr.
The fire is supposed to have been
of incendiary origin, as tracks
leading to and from the barn were
found. No clue to the villian who
committed the deed has been ob
tained,
