Left in Wake of Frightful
Cloudburst and Tornado.
LONG LIST OF INJURED
Twenty-One Corpses in One Little
Kentucky Town, Which Was Engulfed
by Cloudburst While
Victims Slept.
Twenty-nine known dead and'forty
* persons injured constitute the list of
casualties resulting from storms of
- V
tornado severity which swept over
jsuuuitrii i.miiuis ana maiana ana central
Kentucky Friday night and Saturday.
These fatal visitations came in
the shape of cloudbursts, high winds
and electrical disturbances. The property
damage will reach many thousands
of dollars. Houses were swept
away, bridges demolished and thousands
of acres of growing crops destroyed.
Gradyville, Ky.t was the worst sufferer.
A cloudburst deluged that village
of 150 persons shortly after midnight
Friday night. At New Minden,
111., a tornado Saturday morning
killed five people and injured a half
dozen others. At York, 111., on the
Wabash river, three persons were killed
and thirty injured. At Duquern,
ilL, many houses wereb lown donwn
cn the outskirts of the town and four
persons were injured.
Twenty-one persons dead, the vil- j
iage devastated and several thousand
acres of growing crops ruined, is the
sum total of the havoc wrought by the
'> cloudbursts that descended on Gradyville,
and vicinity Friday night.
,A11 the dead are residents of Grady- ,
ville, and although reports are meager,
owing to the remoteness of the place
and the prostration of telephone and
telegraph wires, it is believed that no
further fatalities will be reported
from the surrounding country.
The disaster was due to the erratic
behavior of Big Creek, ordinarily a
small stream, but which was already
swollen by recent rains. When the
cloudburst precipitated three inched
of raip in an hour on Gradyvilie and
vicinity, the greek ieaped from its
bed and took a new course with the
impetuosity of a tidal wave. The inhabitants
of Gradyvilie had no warning
and nearly all were abed when
the foaming waters struck the place,
carrying away six larger residences,
a mill and a number of smaller houses.
Nearly all the victims were drowned,
but four were crushed by the collapse
of their dwellings when the torrent
struck them.
As soon as the news of the disaster
reached Columbia, Ky., the nearest
town of any size, several hundred cit-'
izens departed at once for the scene
with wrecking appliances, food and
clothing, all the physicians available
\ ^pcompanying them. They found the
residents of the devas:ated village
dazed and helpless, but by nightfall
all the relief possible had been afforded.
Several persons had been injured,
but it is stated that none of these
will die.

JIM CROW QUESTION UP.
Case of Negro Woman Heard by Interstate
Commission.
f Whether railroads have the right,
under the law, to provide separate cars
for white and colored passengers in
interstate traffic practically is the
question which was argued Saturday
before the interstate commerce commission.
The case was that of Georgia Edwards,
a negro woman, against the
Is'ashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
Uailway company .operating the Western
and Atlantic railroad. The complainant
alleged that on August 31,
1306, she purchased a first class passenger
ticket from Chattanooga, Tenn.,
to Dalton, Ga., and was compelled by
. the defendant company to ride in an
inferior coach; popularly known as a
jim crow car, although on the same
train white passengers were permitted
to ride in a first class coach. She
maintained that she was discriminated
against. She seeks reparaiory uamaacs
and a construction of the law.
STREET CAR TURNS TURTLE.

bound car on the Los Angeles railway
jumped the track while rounding
a sharp curve at Colorado and Center
streets and turned over.

i
Await Forakcr Should He Elect to ;
Visit Brownsville?Assurance Giv- 1
en and His Fear Allayed.
A Washington special says: Senator
Foraker was given assurance on j
Wednesday that it would be safe for j
him to visit Brownsville regardless of j
his efforts to prove that negro sol-1
diers were not guiky of shooting up '
the town. At the conclusion of the j
testimony of Lcuis (Jowaa, of Browns- j
ville, who was a witness before the }
senate committee on military affairs,
Cowan said he had been quoted in I
special dispatches from St. Louis as I
saying that if Senator Foraker wen:
to Brownsville he would be tarred and
feathered. Cowan denied that he had
made any such remark.
"Then you think it would be per- j
fectly safe for me to go there?" asked
Senator Foraker.
"Oh, yes, sir," said Cowan.
"i greatly appreciate this assurance,"
said Foraker.
The senator then referred to another
special dispatch, saying that Cowan,
on his way to Washington, compelled
a negro porter to make up a berth
in a Pullman car by threatening to j
shoot him. Cowan also denied the {
truthfulness of this story.
Senator Foraker told Cowan that he j
had seen the stories, but thought so j
little about them that he had forgotten i
them.
At the afternoon session of the com- j
inictee Cowan was examined closely i
concerning ammunition he purchased |
the day of the shooting, but this pur* j
chase was not connected in any way j
with the affray.
He testified that he saw the flashes j
of shots from company 9 barracks as
he stood in front of a saloon on Elizabe.h
street, but he did not see any
negro soldiers.
Bernard Kowalski - testified that he
attended a party at Cowan's house on
the night of the shooting and as he
sat in a window facing the alley
some negro soldiers passed. The witness
said that one of the negroes remarked
that the people in the house
were having a good time, but would
not be in half an hour.
R. B. Creager, United States commissioner
at Brownsville, was examined
concerning the investigation by
citizens of the shooting.
CANNON'S SPEECH SUPPRESSED.
"Uncle Joe's" Remarks at Banquet
Were in Defense of the South.
Stating that it got its information
from a prominent Lexington man, who
was present, the Lexington, X. C., Dispatch
prints a story about Speaker
Cannon's recent speech at the banquet
at Guilford college, which, it says, has
not been published by any paper, and
in which it says Speaker Cannon made
a sensational talk,. so ultra-southern
that his private secretary secured
promises from newspaper men who
were present not to print the speech
at all.
It is said that Mr. Cannon openly
declared that the south was handling
the negro question like it ought to be
handled. He said that only the south
?tV?r\ inc? OTlrl Ante f
era peupie nuu>> mc aUU
the problem and his sympathies were
with them.
Without calling the constitutional
amendment by name, he praised such
a measure, throwing restrictions, as
it does, around the ballot box. I: is
further said that he spoke strongly
for state's rights. His hearers were
amazed and his friends alarmed, for
there was no telling how much damage
he might do up north among the
negroes, should such a tale leak out.
Accordingly it was suppressed and
the Lexington man expressed deep surprise
that the story was not handled
while hot and fresh.

FOR LOWER RATES
Railroad Commissioners of
Georgia Finally Decide.
FLAT FIGURES ADOPTED
Barring Injunctions, Etc., by Roads,
Passengers in Empire State of
the South Will Be Riding
C!iean?r Af *?>r O
The Georgia railroad commission,
Friday, finally adopted its much-talked-of
order reducing the passenger
rates in Georgia.
The decision, as a whole, was the
decision of Commissioners H. W. Hill,
chairman, and 0. B. Stevens, Commissioner
Joseph M. Brown dissenting
from that portion of it which put the
railroads named in the 2-cent and 2 1-4cent
classes. His opinion was that
these roads should have been put on
the same basis as the others named. !
To the rest of the decision, however, j
he gave his hearty approval.
There appears to be no doubt from
the comment that the commission has
given the people just what they wanted.
The reductions are material and
at the same time are not too severe
upon the railroads, though there
seems to be little doubt that they will j
be contested in the courts.
The commission reclassifies the fol- |
tnwiiis' marts iinrt nrnmnlatpp^ the I
following ra:es for ea h of said roads I
to become eifective on and after Sep- j

JAPANESE WRATHY
i Indignation Over Acts of
'Frisco IVlob Won't Down.
REPARATION DEMANDED
Punishment of Guilty and Pay for
Damage Expected by Tckio Officials?Popular
Feeling Reaches
a High Pitch.
The leading papers in Tokio, Japan,
J whose opinions are worth quoting, are
j silent on the question of demanding
l an indemnity for the so-called bom;
bardment of Japanese establishments
| in San Francisco. Reparation for the
damage inflicted and punishment for
the culprits is expected and it is believed
that the government is taking
proper steps in the matter.
Though the Tokio public is irritated
at the tardiness displayed in effecting
a solution of the difficulty, opinion has
not yet reached the stage of making
an appeal to hostile demonstration in
any form. It is true, however, that
popular indignation has reached a degree
never before witnessed in the hisi
lory of Japan's relations with the United
States, it is thought by influential
Japanese- that the quicker the
facts regarding the negotiations now
on in Tokio and in Washington
arc* published the better it will be for
all concerned, as a stage has now
been reached when it may prove dangerous
to keep the people in suspense
i or ignorance of what is being done.
The Hochi. which is supporting
Count Okuma in his position on the
American question, publishes the following':
"The San Francisco outrages are
worse than the murder of a missioni
ary in China, which resulted in. the occupation
of Kiou Chou.
"Who would blame an appeal to the
last measure if au impotency to pro
j tect treaty rignts is pruveav
"We hope, however, that Ambassador
Acki will be firm enougn to make
the Washington government take
measures to mete out justice to the
Japauese."
GOULD ROT IS AIRED.
,
First Hearing Given in Salacious Divorce
Suit in New York.
The case of Mrs. Howard Gould,whohas
instituted suit for a separation
from her husband was given its public
hearing in court at New York Thursday.
The occasion was the hearing of
argument on motion of counsel for Mr.
Gould to strike out certain allegations
in Mrs. Gould's complaint.
The grounds on which Mrs. Gould
is suing her husband, as shown by
parts of the complaint read by counsel
for Mr. Gould are, first; abandonment
of Mrs. Gould by her husband;
second, the allegation that the habits
and conduct of Mr. Gould are such
that it was improper for his wife to
live with him; third, that since September
last he has neglected his wife
and refused to provide for her except
that he paid for her support at a
New York hotel since <aat time; and,
fnnrt-h that .Gould has treated his wife
with extreme cruelty, employed spies
to harass her, caused her mail to be
opened; had relations with women of
bad character, and employed an exconvict
and several New *ork detectives
to procure improper evidence
against Mrs. Gould.

OLIVER SIGNS CONTRACT!
For Building New Railroad from Sa- |
vannah to Chattanooga at Cost
Approximating $12,0C0,G00.

Knoxville, Tenn., the largest railroad i
contracting firm in the south, Friday, i
i
signed the contract to build and con- I
struct a railroad from Savannah, Ga., {

to Augusta, Ga.
The total distance of the road will i
be 420 mile3, and it will be known j
as the Savannah, Augusta and North- j
ern railway, running from Savannah !
tn Chattanooga. Work will begin at !
once on the construction of the new j
line. j
William J. Oliver, when asked about I
the matter, stated to the representa-^
tive of the press that he had signed J
the contract. The cost of construction j
is estimated at more than $12,000,000, j
which includes the building of all the |
bridges and small depots on the line, i
The new road will follow the Savannah
river and its tributaries on
the south side to the Blue Ridge
mountains, and then into Chattanooga, j
Mr. Oliver is the best known rail- j
road contractor in the south, and has i
for some time been doing all the work j
on the Southern railway. His head-.
quarters and large manufacturing J
plant is located in Knoxville, and j
within a short time he will organize j
j his force and begin work on this new ;
line that will open up an unaevelop- !
ed section from a railroad standpoint |
and give Chattanooga a direct line to i
the sea. ; .
I When asked when he would begin !
work, Mr. Oliver said: "I have just i
signed a contract for the construction j
of the road. Within the next few days j
I will place a large force on the line j
{ and begin work."
STRIKERS GIVE UP FIGHT.
r.oncedo That Railway Company Has j
Best of the Argument.
The Birmingham Union of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees of America,
practically gave up the fight 011
Thursday afternoon against the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power
company.
A statement was issued calling upon
union men to refrain no longer from
ridmg the street cars and using gas
and electricity and thanking them for j
the support given during the strike, j
The statement recites vhat it is re- i
garded as useless to continue the boycott
and the members of the committee
ask financial assistance from
brother unions until they can succeed
in getting work elsewhere.
Ben Commons, the man who organ- 1
ized the local union and who has been j
leading the fight, rode to the baseball j
park Thursday afternoon on an elec- j
