COMES HIGE IN Cm OF ATLANTA TV Victim a Prominent lasnrance Man aid Had Just Gotten Oft ot a Street Car to fo to His Home When Run Over. One Rider Arrested. The Injuries of Roscoe W. Gorman, Who was run over by two bicycles on Poaohtroe street Monday evening, proved fatal. Mr. Gorman died Thurs day morning at 3:30 o’clock from a fracture of the skull. His death oc curred at the school of Miss Thorn- bury, 428 Peachtree street, where he was moved after the accident, and he never regained consciousness from the time he fell until he breathed his last. Mr. Gorman's death was caused by two negro boys racing on bicycles. It Is said they were riding between the oar tracks, coming into the city, at a rate of 25 miles an hour. Mr. Gorman had stepped off the car at the corner of Pine and Peachtree streets, and getting off on the rig ^t aide of the oar he bad to go around and behind the oar to walk down Pine street to wards bis home. The negro boys dash ed around the oar and struck Mr. Gor , man with terrible force. He fell heav ily upon the pavement and the fall caused a fracture at the base of the skull. He was picked up immediately after the accident and he was uncon scious, the blood flowing from both ears. The boy whose wheel first struck Mr. Gorman has not been caught. The other boy, Will Martin, was tried In the recorder’s court Thursday after noon. He was fined $10.75 for the reckless riding of a bicycle, and held In a $100 bound for criminal negllence. There were four witnesses who saw the accident. Dr. Gilbert was the first person to reaph Mr. Gorman. He saw a bicycle boy run over him after he was down, but did not see the first rider. J. M. Walker was on the rear plat form of the oar and Mr. Gorman spoke to him as he got off. Mr. Walker was the last person Mr. Gorman ever ad dressed. "1 saw something fall behind the oar,” testified Mr. Walker, “and I next saw a boy ride over the ndan on the ground. The whole thing happen ed in a few seconds.” T. M. Smith, who was also on the rear platform of the oar, testified that he saw some one run into Mr. Gorman and knock him down. Dr. B. H. Spurlock did not witness the accident, but saw a bicycle boy fall headlong to the pavement Imme dlately after Mr. Gorman was run over. Will Martin stated that he worked for the Todd Dnm Company. He said he met up with another negro boy on a bicycle at the corner of Peachtree and Linden streets. “The other boy was ahead,” said the prisoner, “and he ran Into the white man first. I was dose behind him and could not stop before I ran over the man. We were not racing. The other boy was going faster than I was." Officer Belcher, who, with Officer Holcombe, made the arrest, testified that from what he learned of the affair, the boys must have been racing and were riding about twenty five pallee an hour. Will Martin, Is a son of- Robert Martin, who works for Colonel J. W. English, Jr. "There has, been a human life taken,” stated the recorder, “all be cause two boys rode their wheels at a reckless speed. This fast riding of blcydes on the streets? should be stopped.” After sentencing the boy to pay a fine of 110.75 and binding him over for criminal negligence, the recorder expressed the hope that the other boy be caught. -■ -. ...... Funeral services over the body nL Mr. Gorman will be held at his late residence, 327 Spring street, at 10:30 o’dock Thursday morning. After the funeral the body will be taken to the Atlanta and West Point train, and at 12:30 o’clock Thursday afternoon It will leave for Newnan, Ga. The interment will be directly after the arrival of the body. Central Lodge No. 28, I. O. O.

No WortbleM Duke* Wanted.^ A dispatch from New York says it became known Wednesday that An drew Carnegie’s nieoe, Nancy, was secretly married about a year ago to a- riding master named Heaver, whom she met at Newport. The story was confirmed by Mr. Carnegie. “My nieoe was married to Mr. Heaver In New York about a year ago,” he said. “Mr Heaver was a riding teacher in the family. The famUy-has no objeo- 41on to the match. Mr. Heaver Is an honest, upright man. I would rather Nancy had married a poor, honest man than a worthless duke. We want no rich men in the family.” Mr.’ Carnegie said that Mr. and Mrs. Hea ver went to Europe Immediately af ter their marriage. They returned a few days ago and are now on e visit to New England. Mr. Heaver wi formerly coachman for his wife's mother, Mrs. Thomas M. Carnegie, In Pittsburg and at ber winter home at Fernandlna, Fla. He was a widower with two small children.

A fresh review of the last stage of war, from Gettysburg to Appomattox, has just appeared in England from the pen of What It Oocts the Different of the Qpnntry to the Public.

George* on the South ern to Have Occurred. Forty hours on duty without sleep. That was the condition of the train crew which handled the freight train wrecked at Bad ham’s on the morning of April 2nd. These facts were biought out Tuesday at the hearing before tbe railroad commission. There were several witnesses examined, and the members ot the commission questioned them closely, particularly Maj. Eirle. According to the evidence given be fore the commission, tbe crew had hours and 40 min- without »ven a tbe world may still turn to American battlefields for examples -of tbe high est military efficiency and martial valor. Heiays: “Tbe history of the Amriean civil war still remains tbe most Important theme for the student and the states man beeauss It was waged between adversaries of tbe highest Intelligence and courage, who fought by land and sea over an enormous area with every devloe within tbe reach ofhuman in- genunlty and who had to create every organisation needed for the purpose after the struggle had begun. Justice has hardly been done to tbe armies which arose time and again from san guinary repulses and from disasters more demoralizing than any repulse In the field because they were caused by political and military Incapacity in blgb places, Ut redeem which tbe soldiers freely shed their blood, as it seemed, in vain. If tbe heroic en durance of tbe southern people and tbe fiery valor of tbe southern armies thrill us today with wonder and ad miration, the stubborn tenacity and courage which succeeded Ip preserv ing intact the heritage of the Ameri can nation and which triumphed over foes sc formidable are not le« worthy of praise and Imitation. Tbe Ameri- oars still hold the world’s reoord for hard fightirg.” The valor of the southern soldiers has long been extolled at home as well as abroad, and at one time tbe eulogists seemed t|o forget Shat valor In any army presupposes equal valor in tbe foe. The fighting records of the oombabaots that great war do not rest upon mere speculation. They were v,rl!.ten in blood, and the boolu are open to tbe world's inspection. And every elite r glment and elite corps on either side must and can without loss of prestige stand com parison with an elite equivalent In the ranks of the foe. The North bad more regiments in tbe field than did tbe South, but tbe ratio of bard fight Ing r gtments was tbe same. There were seventy northern regiments which lost from 60 to 80 per cent, of their strength In single engagements and fifty-three southern regiments,In tbe same class. Figures showing losses in actual battles are eloquent witnesses of the valor of individual organisation. The highest brigade loss recorded In tbe confederate army waa that of Gregg’s South Carolina brigade, which la credited with 1 279 killed In battle In the northern army a Vermont brigade takes highest placV^ritb a loss of 1,172 killed and the Iroh brl gade Is a close second, with 1,132 deaths on Aha^ battkfleld. As tbe northern regiments were regularly re crulted, the losses fell upon greater numerical strength than was the case in the South, where recruits were scarce. The famous “Kentucky Orphan” brigade of the South, being made up of expatriates from the land of fighters, was never recruited and literally fought Itself to a “frazzle," as the southerners expressed It. Gregg's brigade had the banner regi ment in tbe South for loss In battle during the whole war—tbe First South Carolina. Its record was 281 killed, and the banner regiment of the North, the Fifth New Hampshire, went a notch higher with a lose of 295 dead on the field of honor. And when it came to losses In single engagement Balaklava and all the old world records were outdone both by “Yank” and “Jhonnie.” In a single charge at Gettysburg the First Minnesota emerged with a loss of 82 per cent, killed and wounded, while tbe First Texas' at Antletam lost 82 2 3 per cent- In the highest numeri cal loss sustained in a single engage ment the fighters of the North and South also showed their common line age and equal valor. * At Gettysburg theTwenty-sixth North Carolina wept into action July 1 with 820 men and lost 586 killed and wounded. At Cold Harbor the First Maine heavy artll : lery charged an Intrenched line with 832 rank and file and lost 586 killed and wounded in the space of seven -minutes. Both of these regiments continued fighting in the same cam paigns until the end of the war. It is a singular fact that over the whole field and throughout the war every phenomenal display of valor, tenacity and stubborn courage on one side was duplicated at some time by the other side. For the “Bloody Angle,” held by Lee at Spot toy Ivan la, there was the “Horseshoe Ridge,” defended by Thomas at Chicakamauga, and for Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg there was the rush for the stone wall at Fredericksburg. In the long run neither side was outfought. Both sides sustained the prestige of Ameri- oars in battle.—Spartanburg Journal. tic clubs amount to $36,000, traveling requires S15,000 and Incidental ex penses another $15,000. The popula tion of the circuit is about 222 301.

It Is said, however, that this la not a condition bat a very unusual case. Freight train No 155 left Rock Hill at 2.45 on the afternoon of March 31, although the crew had been called at 12 o’clock and bad been on duty about Ihree hours before tbe train started. The train was 12 hours late getting to Camden, reaching that place at 3 a. m. After shifting at Camden for three hours the train was delayed on account of being ran Into by a train on tbe Northwestern rail road, which necessitated quite a long wait. It was 5 05 p. m , April 1 be fore the train reached Kingville, after having been out from Rock Hill over 24 hours, and the crew had been on duty 29 hours. At Kingville the members of the crew were asked by the train dis patcher at Charleston If they felt like taking the train on Into Charleston.

Charleston, and as the train had ton might cause tbe freight to lie over until Monday morning at King vllle, tbe crew decided to go on with it. At Kingville they got something to oat for the first time slnoe leaving Rock Hill. But It was not until 11 p. m. that the train pulled out of Kingville., Arriving at Orangeburg the mem bers of the crew were asked by tbe operator at that office if they could go on to Charleston, and they replied that they would. This was also tbe answer to the Inquiry from the opera tor at Branchvllle. When the latter operator asked the . conductor where he would pass the passenger train, the latter replied at St. George he thought. , .. . The collision with westbound pas senger No 15 occurred one and one- half miles west of St. George, between 4:30 and 4:40 a. m. Conductor Stanley said yesWday that he had thought th*t tbe trains would meet at R evepyille, two miles west of Bad ham. According to his account, when the freight struck the switch at Reeves- vllle and went on by, he looked at his watch and saw that even If tbe pas senger were five minutes late the freight ould not make Badham, which Is a mile west of St. George. Accordingly he sprang out of the cab to flag the engineer. There were 39 cars on the train, and tbe two last were not supplied with airbrakes When he had climbed over these be came upon a fiat car loaded with all kinds of debris, and before he oculd pick his way over the car the collision came. Tt wasa foggy morning -and the two trams could not see each other, It seems. The passenger train bad no orders to look out for the extra freight, it was stated yesterday, and the extra freight, knowing the passenger’s schedule, was not given very definite instructions as to the passenger, but had careful orders to watch out for the passenger train from Columbia, which was following. Tbe passenger train was three minutes late, show ing that had the engineer’s watch been right he would have stopped at Reevesville. Those who lost their lives were : T. M. Conlon, engineer of the pas senger ; A. T. Reed, engineer of the freight ; John Adams and Thomas Johnson, colored firemen of the pas senger and tbe freight respectively ; H. H. Stokes, white brakeman of the extra freight. Engineer Reed did not die immediately, and before death admitted that his watch was half an hour slow. Had his watch been correct it is probable that there never would have been any collision, for he would have been forewarned, bat no doubt he thought be bad plenty of time to make St. George when he looked at his watch. Conductor Stanley and Engineer Reed compared watches at Kingvi le, and there was but ten seconds dlfier- ence In the time. But when the con ductor went to tbe dying enginMr and looked at his watch he saw that it was half an hour slow. There Is no way to account for this except that the watch stopped In the engl FXBTtLIZKXfi UfilD Alleged Bales Am Out jot Proportion With Oonaumption. Col. R. W.

In a recent edition of “Cotton Facts,” edited by Col. A. B. Shepper- son, who is an authority on cotton statistics, tbe ability of tbe planters to carrv out the program of acreage reduction Is commented on from a rather original angle. The whole world*Is asking whether the farmers the market, whither they intend to be stead-ast, and “Cotton Facts” an swers that the southern farmers spring from the most resolute rare In tbe world, and can do anything they want to do. —“ “In reaching an opinion,” says the writer, “In regard to the action of the southern farmers it 1$ well t" remtm- ber that the white people of the south who control tbe production and the marketing of the cotton crops are of the purest and best type of the Anglo- Saxon race to be found beyond the borders of England. Tbe southern states were sett ed mainly by tne English and Scotch-Irish. Tne tide of foreign immigration which has flooded other sections of our country, has not yet penetrated to the south land (except to a very limited extent in Texas,) and, therefore, her people have In tbe highest degree the sterl ing attributes of their Anglo-Saxon ancestry. Predominant traits of the Anglo-Saxon race, as all the world knows, are steadfastness and tenacity of purpose.” This is a high compliment to the planters of the south, and one of which they are entirely worthy. The farmers-must stick'to the program outlined by the Southern Cotton asso ciation. If they db, they have the game in their own hands. They must hang together. They must show that they are altogether wortbv oNthe praise quoted above, and make “steadfastnevs and tenacity of pur pose” win a victory not forthemselvrs alone but for the whole south.

The Jewish festival of the Passover begins this evening and will close on Thursday of next week. The Pass- over comes at the same season of the year as the Easter of the Christian. This festival has been celebrated among the Jews since an early date in tbeif history, and is commemo rative of the flight out of Egyptian bondage, when God wrought the heaviest affliction on the idolaters by killing the first born in every house hold, save that on whose portals ap peared the sign. The celebration of this feast Is placed from the 14th to the 21st day of Nlsan, which varying in accordance with the coming of the fell moon makes the feast a change able one. In Hebrew homes, where the people are still steadfast In the faith of their fathers, only unleavened bread Is eaten. Tbe symbol of un leavened bread has to the Jews a two fold significance. First, to signify the haste with which the preparations for the flight out of Egypt was m^de, and, second, a commemoration of the harvest When the grain had been garnered in before any one partook thereof the first and finest of the sheaves was placed on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, and then the people hastep to pat some of the same grain which they had offered to their God as a sign of gratitude for the bounte ous harvest.

Johns, a white man about 45 years old, was struck and killed Sunday morning about 3 o'clock by train No. 25, going from Charleston to Augusta. Tbe accident happened on the east side of town just beyond the oil mill switch. The train crew notified Policeman Dickin son of tbe killing when the train stop ped at the depot. It is stated that tbe engineer said tbe man was sitting on the crossties on tbe right side of -the track with his right hand up to his head. He was seen plainly by tbe engineer, but it was sc close the train could not be stopped. This is a mixed train, and the speed rarely exceeds 30 miles an hour. The man’s head was split open and his brains came out. His rigtit arm was broken as well. There were no other bruises on his body.

The body was guarded at the spot where he was killed until about 9 o’clock Sunday morning. The coroner em paneled a jury and viewed the body where it lay, then adjourned until Monday morning, when tbe members of the train crew will testify.

Two or three contributon have com plained in the Columbia Stats reosot* iy ot the very marked lack of polite-'' ness among young men and boys of that city. The State charges this lack of politeness to defective home train ing—and there is no doubt the chief trouble liea just there..The Newberry Observer says “schools are expected to do everything how and tb relieve parents of all responsibility. Tbe day school is expected to educate tbe minds and-the Sunday school to save the souls, while parents delude them selves—jr try to—with the Idea that they have dene their duty by their children when they haye sent tijem to these institutions. Tbe reet of tbe time children are Allowed to loaf on tbe streets or around railroad stations or the Lord only knows where else— parents certainly don’t. Homs train ing la almost a lost art.” There Is too much truth Id what the Observer says. Very few children these days are controlled by their parents as they should be, which makes It a matter of of impossibility for tbs teachers of the day or Sunday School to train them. Childreri can be controlled easy enough if parents will only set a good example by controlling themselves. Firmnsss and kindness will control any child _ and make liim stay In the hands of his parents to be made In any shape they desire. Two Miner* Fomnd Pend.
