MAN. Cashier.4 OPERATOR MATOX HELD RESPONSIBLE DEATHS OF PRESIDENT SPEN CER AND OTHERS LAID AT HIS DOOR. Left Immediately for Parts Unknown. -Despite Vigilant Search. No Trace of Missing Man Has Yet Been Found-An Explanation is Much Desired. Lynehburg, Va., Nov. 30.-The cause of the awful wreck near Law yers depot, 10 miles south of this city yesterday iorninig, in which Presi dent Santiel Spencer and his party of lomineitt New York and Bahi more men lost their lives, is laid ab solutely at the door of C. D. Mattoax, the operator who was in charge of the block telegraph station at Ragoon. Mattoax, who disappeared after be ing relieved less than an hour after the wreck, has not been found, des pite the fpet that railway detectives have scoured the country around the wreck and his home at Sandy Level, in Pittsylvania county, some 40 miles from the scene of the accident on a smill braneh line of the Southern. An official of the Southern railway late this afternoon stated that the company was desirous of apprehend ing Mattoax in order to secure a statement from him that might throw ;ome light on the causes that led him to allow two trains.in the same block at the same time. This official was not prepared to state today whether )r not the company would take steps arnd lie (lid not then know if lie could prosecute under the laws of the State of Virginia. Offie Sheets Examined. An examination of the telegraph sheets kept at the Rangoon and Law yers block offices by the representa- t tive of the Associated Press discloses 1 the fact that Mattoax allowed train s No. 33, the Jackonville express, up- s on the block, the train passing his c station, getting a clear track from I him at 6.06 o'clock. The operator at i Lawyers, the next station ahead, I claimed that Mattoax did not ask < him for a "clear track" for No. 33, and he, therefore, did not know this train had passed Rangoon. The block slieet at Lawyers bears out this i claim. The sheets at both offices i show that the operator at Rangoon I asked Lawyers for a clear track for i No. 37, the Washington and South- , western 7'Vestibuled Limited, and the I Lawyers opelartor, not knowing No. 33 i was in the block, gave No. 37 the right of way at 6:14 o'clock and No. 1 37 passed Rangoon at that time. Simmered down, if Mattoax, at < Rangoon, had reported train No. 33 on the blOCk to Lawyers, then there ' would have beenR no accident, because the operator at Lawyers; would have hleld No. 37 at Rangoon)0l unitil the Jac'ksonille train 1had( elegeda the i block at Lawyers, no0 mat ter how long< tile delay might hlave bleenl between tile two offlces. An Erroneous Report. Superintendnet WX. S. Anidrew~s of tile Daniville division, late this aIfter' nloRn explained that the reCport thatI tihe engine of the forward trinl had ~oe some distance ahead of its traini whenR it became detachled was erron Bouls and tile fact is that the engine dlid not leave the train more than 20 feet, the air brakes appJlyingI im mediately upon the engine as5 well as the train. The trouble was the ' breaking of a knuckle of the draw head on thle front end of the for- I wardl ear. Tile trainlmen were repair inig this when the collision occurred. -Assistant General SuperintendentI E. HI. Coapmnan, states thlere is Rnot the slighltest doubt but tIle flagman made every possible effort to protect the rear of the trail) but hle could not get around a sharp curve ini time to pro venit the collision. As soon as En giRneer Kinney sawv tihe signal hle ap plied the emergency bralkes aind stay ed at his post to the last. Superintendent Andrews of the Danville division left late this even ing, having been called to Washing ton. It was Mr. Andrews' knowledge that1 the entllire ofliililfamily of' thle Southern Railway company hlad been summoned to Washington to be pres ent at the funeral of President Spen cer. Mr. Andrews, however, was not informed as to thle funeral arrange monts. Thle identfitlation was made' this morning of the negro who was killed aind burned beyond recognition. The C victim was Benjamin floswell of To Ledo, 0., a dining car man wvho was taken aboard President Spencer's catr for the trip. -: The death of Williamn Pollard, the a negro porter in President Spencer's ~rivate car, and J.

The condition of all of the wounded n the local hospitals, including Pres ddnt Spencer's private secretary, E. L. Merrill, tonight could hardly be nore encouraging. Dr. A. W. Terrell, vho is-attending Mr. Merrill, stated onight thaf the condition of the pat ent cotild not b)e better. The colored injured, at the City iospital, are doing equally as well md it is believed that all will re over. V. W. FINLEY MAY BECOME SOUTHERN'S PRESIDENT. WaTfshinugto1i, Nov. 30.-Though -rief of the horrible death of Presi ent Samuel Spencer and his loss to lie system are uippermnost inl society s well as in railroad circles here, peculation has naturally begun as a his successor. The officials of the oadl decline to discuss the ryibject, mt it is being discussed for them y the press and by financiers. (mong~ these it is promptly deelnred: 'Nobody knows but J. Pierpont Mor an, lie probably hasn't yet .U. Hed.' 'his is supplemented by the remark hat James J. Hill will likely have ~rent weight with Mr. Morgan in raking the selection. Col. A. B. Andrews, the first vice resident and the acting president, is ecing mentioned for the place and he vould likely stand a good chance, but (. is believed lie would not accept for lie reason that it would necessitate lis giving up his resdencc at Raleigh. )ne of his ch,se p)eionatl friends nade a statement to this effect this fternoon after one of the afternoon; >apers here had suggested the first ~ice president's name for the presi-i [ency, saying that uinder no circum-| tantcs would col. Andrews leavel aleigh. Hie added that the firstvce uresident is content to continue his r~esent work. Hie is now 66 years old iid does not desire any change. This leaves the way open to Sec md1( Vice-PrIesidenit W. W. Finley, viho, it is thought by those indulging n speculations, will ho the man, tin ess Mr. Morgan, decides to bring in man from some other of his rail oad systems.
