C. ; TO INSTANT DEATH. Thirty.Five Lives Lost in a Railroad Wreck in Georgia. A WASHOUT WAS Til!; CA'St. Every Person on the Train Pcr.shed Except Those on the Pn !man Car? Not a Note of Warning. Atlanta, (la., Special.?A passenger train on the Macon branch of the Southern railway ran in.o a washout one and a half miles nonh of McDonough, Ga., Saturday night and was completely wrecked. The wreck caught fire and the entire train with the cxception of ;he sleeper was destroyed. Every person on the train, except the occupants of the Pullman car, perished. Not a member of the train crew escaped. Thirty-five people in all were killed. Following is a 1st of the dead: Will \ lio At. ?? liiJUl.l UGIUU;, V UUUUV.IUI , -Ticlanta. E. Wood, conductor. Atlanta.

Four bodies yet unidentified. Eight negro se< tion hands. The train left Macon at T:.?'j and was due in Atlanta at 9:45 p. m. MeDon* ough was reached on time. At this point connection is made for Columbus, and heve every r.ight the Columbus train is coupled 011 and hauled through to Atlanta. Saturday night, however, for the first time in many months, the fnlnmhii rrsin was ppnnrtnl twn linnrs late on account of a washout cn that branch and the Macon train started oh to Atlanta without its Columbus con. nection. Tremendous rains of daily occurl-ance for the past two weeks have swollen all streams in this part of the south, and several washouts have been reported on the different roads. Camp's 1* mno V, ^ Ann^ulrron CiCVZV, ttllllli 1UUO 111 CU C11C WUUUltjCt, was over its banks and its waters had spread to all the lowlands through which it runs. About a mile and & half north of McDonough. the creek is somewhat near the Southern's tracks and. running alongside it for some uist'.nce, finally passes away under the road by a heavy stone culvert. A cloud burst broke over that section of the country about 6 o'clock and presumably, shortly after dark, washed out a section of the track, nearly 100 feet in length. Into this the swiftly moving train plunged. There was not a note of warning. The storm was still raging and all the car windows were closed. The passen gers. secure as they tnought. >ud sheltered cofortabiy from the inclement weather, went to death without an instant's warning. The train, consisting of a baggage car. second coach, firstclass coach and a Pullman sleeper, was knocked into kindling wood by the fall. The wreck .caught fire a few minutes after the fall and all the coaches were burned except the Pullman car. Every person on the train except the occupants of the Pullman car perished in the disaster. For a brief time there was silence. Then the occupants of the Pullman ca> recovered from their bewilderment and after hard work managed to get out of their car and found themselves on the track in the pouring rain. The extent of the catastrophe was quickly apparent. Flames were already coming from 1 ha * nart nf the wreckasp nn covered by the water. As the wreck began to go to pieces under the destructive work of both fire and flood human bodies floated out from the mass and were carried down stream by the swift current. The storm did not abate in fury. Flashes of lightning added to the steady glow of the burning .rain and lit up the scene with fearful distinctness. Flagman Quinlan, who was one cf the first to get <yt at once started for the nearest telegraph station. Making his way as rapidly as possible in the face of the blinding storm, he stumbled into the office at McDonough and after telling the night operator of the wreck, Ml fainting to the floor. Word was quickly sent to both Atlanta and Macon, bat no assistance was to be had except from the former city as the interrupted track prevented the arrival of any train from Macon. A wrecking train was started cut from Atlanta at midnight, but owing to the burning wreckage nothing could be done until morning. A special train at 6 o'clock took doctors, ministers, railroad officials and helpers to the scene, but nothing could be done save to gather up ihe bodies. | NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. ' The Substance of ihe Declarations of The Party. The Republicans of the United States, through their chosen representatives, met in national convention, looking hack upon an unsurpassed record of achievement and looking forward into a great field of duty and opportunity and appealing to the judgment of their countrymen, make these IIPCIJI rn r inrs The Democratic party is arraigned for inability to manage public affairs and to inspire public confidence. The doctrine of free coinage cf silver at the ratio cf 10 to l is denounced. The administration cf President Mc- ' ! iKnley is endorsed in the fullest terms. The following reference is made to : Democratic principles and policy: In asking the American people to indorse this Republican record, and to renew their commission to the Republican party, we remind them of the fact that the menace to their prosperity has always resided in Democratic principles and no less in the general incapacity of the Democratic party to conduct business prosperity is public CvV} fidence in the good ser.se of the govj ernment and ir. its ability to deal inI telligently with "each new problem of I administration and legislation. That j confidence the Democratic party has never earned. It is hopelessly inadequate. and the country's prosperity when Democratic success at the poll3 is announced, halts and ceases in mere anticipation of Democratic blunders ar.d failures. Trusts are denounced and the policy of protection of American labor against foreign contract labor is advocated. Our present dependence upon foreign , shipping for cine-tenths of our foreign ! carrying is a great loss to the industry i cf this country. ' It is also a serious ! , danger to our trade, for its sudden ! i withdrawal in the event of European j ! war. would seriously cripple our ex- i j panding foreign commerce. The na- j ! tional defense and naval efficiency or , this country, moreover, supply a compelling reason for legislation which will enable us to recover our former i place amoig the trade-carrying lleets of the world. The pension laws should be liberal j and should be liberally administered and preferences should be given wher1 ever practicable with respect to em j ployment in the public service to soldiers and sailors and to their widows and orphans. We commend the policy of the Republican party in maintaining the efficiency of the civil service. The adj ministration has acted wisely in its ; effort to secure for public service in , Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands, only those whose fitness has been determined by training and ' Tir* V-? o f omnlnv_ experience. uuicvc men, ; ment in the pubfic service in these ter, ritories should be confined as far as | practicable to their inhabitants, i It was the plain purpose of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution ! to prevent discrimination on account I of race or color in regulating the elec, <tive franchise. Devices of State govern. | ments, whether by statutory or constiI tutional enactments, to avoid the pur | pose of this amendment are revolutionary an"d should be condemned. The Dingley act, amended to provide sufficient'revenue for the conduct of the war, has so well performed its ! work that ft has been possible to re| (fuce the war debt in the sum $40,000,, 000. he country is now justified In exj pecting and it will be the poucy of the Republican party to bring about a rei duction of the war taxes, j We favor the construct^, owner; ship, control and protection Of an Isthmian canal by the government ot the United States. New markets are necessary for the Increasing surpius of our j farm products. Every effort should be made to open and obtain new markets. especially in the Orien?. and the ! administration is warmly to be commended for its successful effort to commit all trading and colonizing nations | to the policy of the open door in China. In the interest of our expanding commerce we recommend that Congress | create a Department of Commerce and j Industries in the charge of a secretary with a seat in the cabinet. The policy of the Republican party i in maintaining the efficiency of the j civil service is commended. We approve tne annexation or me Hawaiian Islands to the United States. In accepting, by the treaty of Paris, the just responsibility of our victories ! in the Spanih war. the President and ! the Senate won the undoubted approval of the American people. No other course was possible than to desfroy Spain's sovereignty throughout the l West Indies and in the Philippine Islands. That course created our responsibility before the world and with the unorganized population whom our intervention had freed from Spain, provide for the maintenance of law and order, and for the establishment of good government and for the performi once of international obligations. Oar j authority could not bo less than our J responsibility and wherever sovereign rights were extended, it became the , high duty of the government to mainI tain its authority to put down armed i insurrection and to confer the blessing; of liberty and civilization consistent I with their welfare and our duties and J the.-e shall be secured to them by law.
