BOTH COACHES TAKEN OUT OF THE ICE-BOUND RIVER There May Still Be a Few Bodies in the Water, but the Officials Do not Think So. UdtoNTO. J'in. 24. Thirty-one dead, two missing and 4fi In jured is the toll of the Spanish l i v r w reek. I ,ntli coaches have been raised from tin river and dead removed. There may still he a few bodies In the river Imt the (illiehils are not inclined to admit it. The ieo-l)oimd river yesterday be gan t give up Its dead. The first class one of the four of the Can iiilian Pacific passenger train which tinil; liie plunge down the embank ment Friday afternoon, was raised above the surface of the river in the afternoon. With one end of the car suspended by heav cables from the bridge above and tlo other end resting on the hunk, workmen crept into the wrecked interim- and brought out several bodies. Th forward part of the coach was tartly demolished and it is likely that go;. ip bodies floated away. The rnilrnud officials brought ad ditional wrecking equipment to the Spanish river bridge late Saturday. The ire directly under the bridge wu broken and n diver was sent down. He loeated roth the first class car nnd the tourist car which disappeared from view on Saturday. Operating the big cranes from the bridge proved extremely difficult, and It was found necessary to drop the first class cur back Into the river after It had been partly raised. Be fore doing so men were Bent Into H to secure what bodies were accessible to prevent the possibility of their being carried away in the current with the hitting of the car. WILL IS SECURED Is Coming Over from England to Take the Position of Track Trainer. Chapel Mill. N. C, Jun. 24. The obtaining of Nathan J. Cartmell as truck trainer for the coming spring means practically a rejuvenation of trm k athletics on the Hill. In speak ing of him as a runner the sporting eilltor of the Liverpool Chronicle, In u recent edition says: "By defeating Arthur I'ostle yesterday at Btolse over the 2:'0 yard dash, Nat Curtmel, the Voting American collegian, realized a much cherished ambition and will take up his duties us track conch at the luiversity of North Carolina on the first day of March, the undisputed furlong champion of the world. It is " posuion, ana i urimni kuiii- ... title by a. flne a piece running i lis has ever been known In the history "I a'' etics, either amateur or pro fessionally, candidly I was literally "tnunried by the extraordinary speed display by the American. He won by prartlcally four yards In the extraor dinary time of 21 1-J seconds, which Is a world's championship record." Three stutes claim this wonderful little athlete. Nat Cartmell was born In lAiulsville, Ky but came soon to Asheville to live. It was here that he made his entrance Into athletics by mklng quite a name for himself as a Vele rider. He entered college at the I'nlverslty of Pennsylvania, and while there was captain of the 'varsity track team, running the 220 yard dashes and the quarter-mile. Under the careful training of the greatest of truck conches, Mike Murphy, of the "Iverslty of Pennsylvania, he broke U records on the cinder path at Franklin field, and went as American enampn (amateur) of the 220 yard ,'h to the last Olympic games at London, and did a great deul to up hold America's supremacy at those games. Among a signal list of many victories, he defeated Walker, the fleet South African, thereby win ing the title of amateur champion furlong runner of the world. Not sat- , hed with this he challenged and de feated Arthur Postle, the professional Jurlnng champion of the world, there- "x winning both titles. In a recent lulla In Xtrnt ' VA V "raham, through whose Influence y artmell wss obtained for the Unlver dy, Mr. Cartmell al.l he wnnlri on the nth of this month for this .,. lr- nn. fter a short stay In vZT.

The Uiltmore postutlice affair, which promises, as- a political Issue, to as sume the Importance of a paramount, carrying with it the power to make and unmake congressional candidates, was thrust to the fore again yesterday when Frank Carter, counsel for Mrs. Heed, gave to the press of the .state a letter that had been addressed by him to W. :. U.gan. Mr. Carter wrote blllngly of Mr. lagan's activity In coming to the aid or Congressman tirnnt. asking gome questions of a peculiarly searching and personal na ture. Mr. Carter wishes to know, among other things, whether Mr. Grant is under, financial obligations to .Mr. Logan, nnd whether a son of Mr. tirnnt is not similarly beholden to Mr. Luther. Sir. Logan Replies. Today Mr. Logan gave to this paper a statement, but it does not purport to be-'in answer to Mr. Carter's ques tions. Mr. Grunt's chairman says If the cn.se Is taken to the courts, where Air. Carter has threatened to take it. he will give an answer. All of which calls for a word of explanation. Mr. Carter makes no such threat in his letter, but Mr. Logan attributes to Mr. Carter the statement that it was his intention first to take the case to the President and the postotlice de partment and, failing there, to the senat- committee. Failing; In both of these Mr. Carter has declared his in tention, according to Mr. Logan, of resorting to the court- of this state, in fact Mr. Logan says that Mr. (irant told him this was his purpose. Below will be found the letter of Mr. Carter, together with the signed statement of Mr. logun: Mr. Carter's Loiter. Mr. W. 10. Logan. Asheville, X. C. Dear Sir: I have just seen your signed statement in reference to the Uiltmore postolTice case in the Char lotte Observer or the :10th inst.. and note your admission that you have come to Mr. Grant's assistance by making a statement to be tiled in the postofflce department, which state ment you say sustains his contention against Mrs. Reed, but the precise na ture or purport of which you explicit ly refuse to disclose. This refusal, being In line with the policy of concealment practiced In this case from the beginning, affords no occasion for surprise, however much It may shock the sense of fair ness of the average mind. Neither am I free to express any great surprise at the charge which you discreetly make upon Informa tion, to the effect that Mrs. Keei1 a at torney (undoubtedly referring to the writer) 1b in the pay of designing poli ticians; since Mrs. need's enemies have discovered allies who are both fruitful and Ingenious In the fabrica tion of "Information." Your "Information" upon this point, like so much of the "information" which has been purveyed against Mrs. Iteed. lacks any shred, semblance or shallow of truth. I have received nothing except oh account of my ex penses, and nothing has been paid, promised or offered to me by any one except Mrs. Heed herself. In fact, my Interest In this matter Is more per sonal than professional, since I have known Mrs. Reed some 17 yenrs since long before she married Dr. Ht,ed and my esteem for her wo manly character and high moral worth wa such that 1 was more than glad of an opportunity to enlist In her defense against attacks which 1 was morally certain were as lalse as they were cowardly; I have had no politi cal help; on the contrary, the princl , - - T . -nnniinier- Z"!1.1 'Z narti- od has been from a few ultra pnrti sans of my own party, who were loath to forego the great political advan tage to accrue to the democratic cause from the success of Mr. Grant's unmanly war on this widow. You have attempted to prejudice Mrs. Heed's cause by stating that you have been Informed that she is a mere stalking horse for designing politi cians. Having Informed you that the chnrire Is false. I Will now call upon you to name your Informant If you fall to do this tne oatum oi iiruimum the slanderer of a widow's cause Is yours. If you are willing to occupy this position, of an accessory after the fact, the public may easily go a sieM further and conclude that yon are an accewory before the fact. If not the author of the slander. Bneak up. Mr. Logan, ami say wno InM vnu this lie.

I notice Mr. Carter's communica tion in the Citizen of 23d Inst., in which he says that he has addressed same to me la the shape of a letter. Mr. Carter was In such great haste to get the matter in the papers that ho did not give the malls time to bring to me the original, all of which goes to prove that my statement was cor rect :when I said that Mr. Carter seemed to be endeavoring to try his case through the public press. I notice that Mr. Carter says that such sums he has received and Is to receive as attorney in tha Biltmore case are to come from the "paltry savings of the widow.'' Now I un derstand these "paltry savings" con sist or. according to tax list and pub lic records, u brick bouse situated in i,tiM.... r..a -l.l..t, t-Hilili ,.tiil, it-itu I Ikllllll'MU H'l T,,,l ...w.. recently offered, a cottage locuted in South Biltmore, valued at $10110. und i recent purchase In Asheville of a handsome property at $3500; so w e can see mat Mr. c uner s ciieni is aouu- ditntly libit' to employ learned coun- I to aid her In her scramble tor of fice. Notwithstanding all of this 1 notice In the Citizen of some days ago the statement was made us com-1 ing from Mrs. Heed through a friend that "Mr. Carter was not being paid , by Mrs. Heed and If It come to a show down as to these fees Mr. Logan ; would be sorry he spoke of the sub- I Ject." 1 submit In view of these con-1 Dieting accounts that It is hard to tell where the revenue In the case Is com ing from. 1 commend you, Mr. Car ter, for your philanthropic acts In taking pity on and having compas sion for the widow and orphan, part ly because you have "known her so long and your esteem for her woman ly character and high moral worth;" but, by the way, there are many other deserving widows In our community a large number of whom are In far greater need than this widow, yet I do not recall any public notice where in you In any way came to their re lief, or tendered your valuable ser vices on such generous terms. I note that you say that you "have (Continued on page I) OF FARM products, while the ultimate consum er Is paying excessive prices.
