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:

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

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

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.
To Cuba, independence and self-government
were assured in the same
voice by which war was declared and
to the letter this pledge shall be per*
formed
