SEABOARD WRECK
Passenger Crashes Into Runaway
Freight Cars.
ENGINEER IS CREMATED
Shatttered Coaches Were Soon Ablaze
. and, Together With the Freight
Cars, Were Reduced to
a Heao of Ashes.
Train No. 38, of the Seaboard Air
Line, known as the Exposition Limit
. eu, crasnea into ten runaway ireignt
.cars l 1-4 miles from Powder Springs,
i Ga., at 7:04 o'clock Friday night, and
in the smashup which resulted one
man, Engineer Hudgins, was burned
10 death, seven persons btiilv injured,
the passenger engine and live coaches
utterly destroyed and five - freight
cars reduced to ashes.
A few minutes before the accident
a freight train one mile from the
scene of the wreck started to sidetrack
in order to ailow the coming
passenger the right olf way.
in some way ten of the cars, five
of them loaded with cotton, broke
loose from the train and started down
the track toward the approaching Xo
3S at a fast gait.
Ore mile from the starting point
the brakes worked, and the flagman,
leaping to the ground, rushed ahead
to flag the oncoming engine.
He says he did flag the train, and
it is the opinion of those on the train
that either he warned the engineer
or ;hat Hudgins in seme way became
aware of the dangei, for one of
the nasseneers testifies that tnere
were three distinct shocks, the lirst
when the emergency brake was put
on the train.
It was too late, however, for the
engineer to save his own life, though
Us action, it is believed, was responsible
for the safety of the passengers,
for the next moment the engine
plowed its way into the first
freight car.
Iii the frightful shock that followed,
the engine tumbled down the embankment,
a distance of over fifteen feet,
and there fell over on its side, pinning
the engineer under it.
The engine being out of the way
the first baggage car then hit the
first freight car and piled upon it.
Another second and the mail car was
added to the heap, while the smoker,
halfway off the track, continued to
hang on.
The passengers, shocked and bruised,
having realized that they fiad
escaped with their lives, scrambled
out of the cars and crowded out into
a field of mud, while a heavy rain
storm beat down on them, tendering
their situation exceedingly uncomfortable.
As the last of the passengers lert
thg cars trie trainmen started on^their
rescue work, the first coach began to
burn as if the rain were so much kerosene
oil the mail car, baggage car,
engine and first coach blazing with
increased brilliancy.
The spreading flames soon reached
the other coaches, and then continued
on their way through five of the
freight cars which were the cause of
the wreck. The five which were utterly
destroyed were loaded with cotton.
The injured were taken to nearby
homes, and the passengers looted it
through the rain for over a mile to
Powder Springs, where all possible
was done for their comfort.

dead in his law office in Sparta, Ga.,
Friday afternoon. His death is attributed

FOR DAUGHTER'S MURDER
John BuMard is Sent to His Doom in
Marietta Jail?Died Protesting
That it Was an Accident.
'
John Dullard, convicted of murder- I
ing his 17-year-old daughter, was
hanged at Marietta, Ga., Friday. The j
execution was private.
Bullard stuck to his last statement
that the shooting was accidental, and
done in a fit of coughing.
i-le called reporters to him while
Standing on the gallows, and said he
wanted the people to know that he
t/iM tKft tt-nih oml iffaf lio hciH nisrtfl
his peace with his God.
The trap was sprung by Sheriff
Frey at 11:15 a. m., aud 11 minutes
afterwards Bullard was declared dead.
It was on Monday morning, September
24th, at early breakfast, his
daughter, Ruby, was murdered. She
was out the night before attending
religious services, and came home in
company with friends, and spent some
time outside the house in friendly
conversation, during which several
matches were lighted.
Bullard had retired, and claimed
he was disturbed by the noise of
striking matches, and the talk.
At the breakfast table the next
morning he claimed to have reproved
his daughter for making so much
noise, and disturbing him. Some
words followed, Ruby going to an
adjoining room and putting on her
bonnet.
Mr. flullard claimed he went io his
bed, secured his pistol, and started
to put ?: in his trunk, when Ruby returned
to the room, and picked up a
fork from the table. Bullard alleged
she started to attack him, and he
ihrew up his hand to protect himself,
and in doing so the revolver was discharged,
the bullet finding lodgment
in her .head.
lie said: "I saw her stagger, and
J thought she was dead, so 1 might
as well fire the rest of the shots,
which 1 did.''
Bullard was tried and convicted at
the October term of the superior
court, and sentenced to be hanged.
His case was appealed, the decision
of the lower court being affirmed.
It was then claimed Bullard was
insane, and a special commission appointed
by Governor Terrell examined
him, and declared him sane.
His case was then carried to the
prison board, who, in turn, refused
clemency.
As a last effort to save his life the
governor was appealed to for a stay
of execution, on the claim that Eullard's
physical condition was .such
that it was only a question of a few
more weeks until Bullard would yield
his life to the dreaded disease, consumption.
Governor Terrell sent a committee
of doctors to Marietta Thursday morn- i
| ing to examine Bullard as to his pry- j
sical condition, and they reported his
temperature slightly above normal,
and pulse normal.
With this report, all hope for clemency
from the governor fled, and' Bullard
resigned to his fate
DEFENSE SHIFTS PLEA. Unwritten
Law Relegated in Trial of
the Strothers.
The defense in the Strother trial
at Culpeper, Va., Friday shifted from
the "unwritten law" to ''emotional insanity,"
and almost the entire day
was devoted to argument on the proper
form of a hypothetical question,
which was asked Dr. Charles \. Clark,
who was called as an insanity expert.
The prosecution showed no surprise
whatever when the defense set
about to establish a plea of emotional
insanity.

CURSES BY BAILEY
Heaped Upon His Enemies
in Texas Legislature.
i '
HOUSE EXONERATES HIM
Senator Wins Out With Flying Colors
% in Galling Investigation and
Comes Back at His Traducers
in Hot Fashion.
By a vote of 70 to 40 out of a possible
128 votes, 18 members being absent,
United States Senator Joseph
W. Bailey was exonerated by the low
er iiouse of the Texas legislature at
Austin Wednesday night of charges
of irregular acts in public life, as alleged
by Representative Cocke of the
lower house on January 14, last.
Action which resulted in this exoneration
was precipitated at the time
stated, after three days of private
consultation between house members
and friends of Senator Bailey and concludes
some six weeks of investigation
that has occasioned Senator Baileys
constant attendance in Austin.
On Monday last, by a vote of 15 to
11, the senate exonerated Senator
Bailey without waiting to hear the report
of the investigating committee,
and Wednesday night the house took
like action to the extent of acting on
the recommendation of a majority of
the investigating committee for complete
exoneration without the submis
sion o? the evidence.
The opponents of Senator Bailey
pleaded to have the evidence submitted
before being asked to vote, but
the Bailey forces, slightly in the majority,
forced a vote and won out
as outlined above.
The galleries of the house had been
crowded with spectators, many ladies
being present since early afternoon
awaiting thu dramatic event,
and once Senator Bailey's exoneration
was assured by the adoption of tbe
majority report declaring that there
was nothing in the evidence in any
way reflecting upon him, the climax
was reached wrhen Senator Bailey appeared
and addressed the house.
He gave every evidence of laboring
under the suppressed excitement of
the past few days, especially with it3 ,
intense mental strain, and delivered
himself of a speech decidedly critical
and emphatic in the matter of reviewing
those who have seen lit to oppose
him during the investigation. x
Senator Bailey, while bitterly abusing
those who opposed him, announced
that he was going to continue as
sratA<s senator from Texas for
at least three terms. He said in part:
' "You have just concluded the most
remarkable campaign ever witnessed
in any state of the American union,
and be it said to your honor that you
have concluded it in accordance with
the will of the sovereign people.
The conspirators have been given
a wholesome lesson. Never will they
attempt it again ^ within this generation.
Never again will they wear the
honors of Texas democracy in their
life. Such men would betray a republic
if Hessians were for hire. The
leader of the contest was a man who
has gambled with negroes, and if he
attempts to deny it I will prove it
on him.
"One of them was convicted of embezzlement
and yet he is here drawing
his cloak about him saying that
lie cannot keep the democratic commandments.
"These are hard words and I intend
them to be. I wish I had words
of hate with which to criticize them.
See what they have done.1 They have
lied about me. Their master is Hearst,
who has led this fight against me in
Texas. The leader in thi3 fight is the
man who had this telegram publish
ed lying on the legislature, claiming
that it was corrupted by wine, women
and song. Hearst has his emissaries
and agents in the Texas legislature
today. \
' They seek to destroy my usefulness,
but thank God I am too far
above them to hurt it."
FRYE AND THE >DAM BILL.
Maine Senator Causes General Laugh
Among Dignified Solons.
Senator Five, of Maine, startled the
senate Saturday. He was on his feet
making a report from his committee
on commerce, on several bills, when
he suddenly raised his voice, ana exclaimed:
"If I can get immediate considers
tion fcr that dam bill I will promise
the senate not to report another dam
bill this session."
Amid a general laugh the bill was
passed and a dam will be built across
certain shoals in the Savannah river.

TILLMAN SEEKS LIGHT
Of President Roosevelt on Queer and
Cold Deal Given Contractor Oliver
Anent Canal Bid.
A resolution was presented in the
senate Saturday by Senator Tillman
calling on the president to send to
the senate, "if in his judgment not
incompalable with the public interest,
all papers of information in his j
i.Ao-om1 tA i VIA I
UUddCdOlU'li 111 IUjUIU IU 4 UU \J I
letting of the contract for the construction
of the Panama canal, which
was bid for by W. J. Oliver, and
others, and to state the existing
status."
In a speech supporting the resolution
Mr. Tillman said the whole
country wanted the canal constructed
with as little scandal as possible.'
"There have been some remarkable
occurrences in connection with
this work," he continued. Reference
was then made to the resignation
of Mr. Wallace, who, he said,
was berated and abused by the secretary
of war.
"Then came the information that
Phnirnian Shonts was retaining hi3
railroad business; that the canal
work was insufficient to occupy his
entire time, and then the statement
that he was going cut.
' And then came Mr. Stevens' resignation.
Now comes the matter of
Mr. Oliver's bid for the work."
Mr. Oliver, he said, was an efficient
and able contractor and his
bid was the lowest. "But at once
hocus focus came into the game. As
I understand it Mr. Oliver has complied
with every requirement. I may
be a little suspicious, but there has
appeared to me a disposition to let
in the bidders who were a little too
greedy in their first bids. Now Oliver
has disappeared and the army engineers
are said to be put on the
job. I want a little information." coueluded
Mr. Tillman.
Senator Carmack said he had prepared
an identical resolution to that
introduced by Mr. Tillman. It seems
to him that Mr. Oliver had received
very had treatment. He had spent
$30,000 or $40,000 of his own money
in complying with the requirements
of the government and had made the
lowest bid.
Because of objection the resolution
went over for future action unaer uie
rules.
PROBING OF EXCHANGES
Will Begin at Once By Department of
Commerce and Labor.
A Washington dispatch says: In accordance
with the house resolution
providing for an investigation of the
business methods of cotton exchanges
dealing in futures, the bureau of corporations
of the department of commerce
and labor will begin a general
inquiry into cotton dealing immediately.
Representative Livingston, of Georgia,
who has been active foi months
in the agitation for reformation in
the methods of cotton exchanges, said
that he expects'to appear before the
bureau and present much data which
he has collected on the methods of
cotton dealers. ,
The department has been supplied
by Mr. Livingston with the names
of manv witnesses whom he wishes
1 ?'I'"' o nH lists
lO UitVC k,ancu, auu WiS4%?>
will be furnished by representatives
of I he cotton exchanges and other
persons interested in the investigation.
As the resolution was pmended by
the house committee on interstate
ana foreign commerce it does not
provide for an investigation of any
particular exchange, but Is believed
by members of congress interestea in ?
the matter to be broad enough to extend
the inquiry to the New York,
New Orleans and Memphis cotton
exchanges.
