The car mounted the stone, estimated to be a dozen or more feet high, and was pre cipitated against a telephone j)ole and demolished. Commander was instantly killed and Miller died in a local hospital at 1 :30 o'clock this morning, just one and one-half hours after the accident. Commander is survived by his widow and two brothers, Joseph and Charles C. Commander, the latter a prominent lawyer of Florence.
