ONLY FATALITIES OF THE DISASTER.
Two Passenger Trains on the Charleston
and Savannah Collide With a Sickly
Crash Both Wrecked Oper
ator's Carelessness.
Savannah, Ga., June 17. Passenger
train No. 23, on the Charleston & Sa-
vannah railroad rn into the fast mail
coming south Sunday morning at 1:06,
near Hardeville, about 22 miles from
Savannah. Both engines were badly
wrecked and the mail car on No. 78
was pretty badly smashed up. Three
negro tramps who were riding on the
blind baggage on train No. 78 were
mashed to pieces and buried under the
wreck. There were scarcely enough
left of them to identify them.
Through some unaccountable mis
take Operator Givins at Yemassee wir
ed the train dispatcher at Charleston
that the fast mail had not passed Ye
massee some time after it had gone by.
The usual meeting place is just this
side of Hardeville, and the dispatcher
thingking the fast mail had met with
some accident or delay-took up 78 at
the central junction as it was leaving
Savannah and arranged a new meeting j
place. The fast mail happened to be ;
on time and having the right of way i
was going .right ahead to pass 78 as j
the engineer supposed on the siding '
just south of where the accident occur- j
red. Train No. 78 was a little ahead ;
and had orders to pass at Hardeville. i
Engineer Dowling of the fast mail was
on the inside of the curve and could see
the headlight of 7S coming toward him. -He
stopped his train and he and his
fireman got out just as the other pas
senger train cam? crashing into it.
Engineer Black of No 78 saw the head
light of the other engine wheu
he was about '25 lengths off. He re
versed his engine put on the brakes and
jumped. In jumping he fell and broke
his right leg near the ankle.
This and the killing of the thrte
negroes was the only casuality.
The passengers were badly shaken
up but none seriously hurt. A con
struction train was sent over and track
was cleared within four hours.

Keren Lives Lost In the Boiler Explosion at
the Lantlef MtlL
Fall River, Mass., June 15. A cat
astrophe which created the greatest
excitement in this city since the gran
ite mill fire occurred yesterday morn
ing at the Langley loom harness shop

.building, owned by Henry I. Langley.
A fifty-horse power boiler exploded in
the rear part of the basement, blowing
out the sides of the building, knocking
away the supports and allowing the
upper floors to settle into a mass of
ruins.
Fire started in the ruins and began
to burn briskly. The firemen made he
roic, efforts to rescne the imprisoned
working people of whom there were 17.
It is quite certain that seven deaths
at least will result. Mr. Langley says
the boiler was only three and a half
years old. Napoleon LePage, the fire
man and engineer, escaped without in
jury. ' There was plenty of water in
the boiler, he says. He has been ar
rested. The total pecuniary loss will

STAND BY THEPARTY
The
Fight for Silver "Within tho
Democratio Ranks.
WORK OF THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION.
Harmonious Ending of What Promised to
. be Disruption Fight for the White
Metal Conducted Within the
Limits of Fare Democracy.
Memmtis, Tenn., June 16. Notwith
standing the cloud that for a moment
threatened to darken the horizon of
the free silver convention of Southern 1
and Western states, in the shape of the I
holding of prominent democrats, be- J
cause of the advocacy of the abolition
of party lines by one or two of the j
speakers, the end was harmony and
there was no fight over the resolutions
after they were read to the convention
for the reason that they carefully
avoided any reference calculated to
product discord. The resolutions ad
vocate the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, declare
that international co-operation is not
necessary and attribute the recent hard
times to the demonetization of silver.
Although nothing was said in the
resolutions about abolition of party
lines as proposed by Sibley, Stewart
and ethers,, the speakers yesterday al
most without exception, took care to
assert their democracy and to repudiate
any affiliations with either republicans
or populists. The resolutions follow :
The Resolutions Adopted.
Silver and gold coin have in all ages consti
tuted the money ot the world, were the money
of the fathers of the republic, the money of
history and of the constitution.
The universal experience of mankind has
demonstrated that tbe joint use of both silver
and gold as coin money, constitute the most
stable standard of value and that the full
amount of both metals is necessary as a
medium of exchange.
The demonetization of either of these his
toric metala means an appreciation in the
value of money, a fall in the prices of com
modities, a diminution of profits of-legitimate
"business, a continuing increase of the burden
of debts, a withdrawal of money from the chan
nels ol trade and industry, where it no longer
yieltJs a safe return and its idle accumulation
in the banks and the great money centres of
the country.
There is no htalth or soundness in a finan
cial system under which a hour.ied dollar is
productive of increase to its possesser while
on invested dollar yields a constantly dimin
ishing return, and under v.hich fortunes are
made by tbe acreations of idle capital or by a
persistant fall In the prices of commodities
and a persistant dwindle in the margin of
profits in almost every branch of useful in
tius'.ry. Such a system Is a premium on sloth
:r;d a penalty on industry, and such a system
is that which the criminal lesislation of 1873
has imposed upon this country.
Representative Money Speaks.
Representative A. D. Money, of
Mis-
sissippi, was one of the first speakers
yesterday. In his very first words he
x UurfDonxiciu oi party uces.
He said:
I am here, a silver man from the crown of
my bead to tbe soie of my foot, and I ain a
democrat all over. We End that the last con
gress has failed to redeem its promises to t'-n
people, ami it has failnd, why? Because o: t; -Influence
of the executive on the members ol
congress.
You have been told that Andrew Jackson,
the grand old Te inessee pillar of strengta,
was a gold bug. If that is so we want to do
just what Andrew Jackson did, declare for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1. The gold bugs will tell you
that the silver craze, as they call it, is about
over, but they will be greatly deceived if they
think so.
Mr. Money was obliged to quit speak
ing early on account of a sore throat.
Private John Allen, of Mississippi, fol
lowed. Mr. Allen said in part:
This is & contest between the best money, the
best property and the best labor, and for my
part I prefer that which has produced the best
manhood in this country and I take my stand
on the side of the people and Of labor as
against the idle holders of idle capital. There
will be men in this convention who will taunt
you with listening to a speech from that ex
republican, populist, Senator Stewart, but
when we looked In vain for help, to New York,
when our liberty at the polls was threatened,
we found It in Nevada. But I say to Senator
Stewart and others in this convention, don't
ask us to desert the democratic party. 1 am
not one of those who places party above prin
ciples, but I do believe the safety of this coun
try today lies with the great democratic party.
The great democratic heart is stirred to its
depths on this question. The democratic ship
has not always had smooth sailing. Its hulk
has been battered and sometimes it bas not
taken the right course, but we are going to
put on a new captain and new pilots and we
are going to sail to victory. The democratic
party in its national platform is going to de
clare for the tree and unlimited coinage of
silver.
Simon Pure Democracy.
The fight over the principles laid
down by Sibley in his speech Wednes
day night, began early in the day, with
no less a man than Senator Isham G.
Harris, at the head of the faction ad
vocating Simon pure democracy. With
him were M. C. Calloway, of Memphis,
formerly editor of the Appeal, ar.d
Governor Clark, of Arkansas, besides
many others of political prominence, in
their own parts of the country. These
men said that they would secede from
the convention if it endorsed Sibley's
radical sentiments. Sibley said in his
speech Wednesday night that the time
had come to abolish the party in favor
of the principle, and it was to this ida
the democrats took exception. They
declared that the democratic party was
strong enough in itself to champion the
cause of silver and they did not pro
pose to turn over the convention to the
populists and republicans, although
these latter were welcome to the ranks
of free silver. The fight spread to the
room where the committee ou resolu
tions was folding its deliberations, but
fortunately- it got no further. The
platform, as was originally intended,
(the call being strictly non-partisan)
contains no mention of any party.
The convention adjourned last nicht
after speeches by W. J. Bryan. A. J.
Warner and Senator Wolcott.
Other Kes-.Iations.

member from each state be appointed by the

duty it shall be to correspond with the repre

The Reported Riot at Mount Carnal, S. C
a Tame Affair.
Columbia, S. a, June 15 TheSUU's
special correspondent accompanying
the Abbeville Rifles, ordered to the
scene by Governor Evans to suppress a
reported race riot, arrived at Mount
t'armel, a little town in Abbeville
county, at 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The soldiers made part of the
journey on a special train and then
took wagons for ten miles. The town
was quiet when the troops arrived. The
trouble had been caused by the killing
of a negro who had resisted arrest, by
two white men. This section being
thickly settled with negroes, they be
came demonstrative and made threats,
but it is not believed there was real
danger of a conflict Upon arriving'at
Mount Carmel, the sheriff, assisted by
the troops, arrested the negroes whs
took the most prominent part in insti
gating the trouble.
BUSINESS DOES IMPROVE.
Dan Claims it is No Longer a Matter to be
Questioned.
New York, June 15. E. O. Dun A
company's weekly review of trad says:
It is no longer a question whether business
Improves. Not for a long time have our re
ports from all parts of the country been so
uniformly favorable. The daljy average of
bank clearings in June Is 24.8 per cent, larger
than last year, though 11. per cent, tees tban
In 189.2. The most potent inftaenoe has been
the receipt of more favorable advices regard
ing growing crops. Even official statements
helped, because altogether less gloomy than
previous rumors. Labor troubles are getting
out of the way, wages In many establishments
are rising, and with the iron industry just now
leading, there Is general improvement in man
ufactures. Monnetary conditions also help.
The time draws near when, with good crops,
exports will bring gold hither, and though for
eign operations on stocks and bonds have
been insignificant this week, the effect of pre
vious transactions has not been exhausted.
Much diminished receipts of money from the
Interior Indicate belter employment in busi

GERMAN DIPLOMACY DISGRACE
Many of the Ambassadors to Be Recalled
By the Kinpi-ror Soon.
Berlin, June 17. The reports in cir
culation yesterday and generally cred
ited in diplomatic circles asserted that
M. Ilerbertte, the French ambassador,
.' will leave his post some time after the
Kiel festivities and that the German
minister at Pekin and the ambassadors
at St. Petersburg and Paris had been
recalled. The reason given for this ac
tion was that the emperor was de

bassies and ministeries which had been
concerned in the disgrace into which
German diplomacy has been thrown.

CHANGES MAY OCCUR
rha Probable New Leaders in the
Senate From Dixie.
i (! TEE FIGHT IS HIDE 05 H5AJCES.
General Sbafcs Up the Result, If tha Ad
ministration's Money Policy Prevails
la the Democratic
latanatlns; Con taste.
J Washington, June 17. The fight in
the south over silver baa gone Jnst far
enough to develop the new democratio
i leadership for that section in case the
cause of gold ultimately Wins within
the party ranks. In nearly every state
! below Mason and Dixon's line some
man has lately arisen to challenge tbe
' old attitude of the party on the finan
cial question, and to insist that there
. should be a right-about-face by the de-
mocracy as to free coinage.
In every case, too, it is the leadership
of a democratic senator that is disput
ed, and this, if gold wins in the south,
will bring about a decided change at
an early day in . the "personnel of the
democratic membership of the senate.
Blaekbura or Carlisle.
In Kentucky Mr. Blackburn is lead
ing the sllverites, and. It ia conceded,
will not succeed himself if silver loses.
Either Mr. Carlisle and probably hira
or some other democrat holding to
his financial views, will oome to the
senate in Mr. Blackburn's place.
In Tennessee Mr. Bate is among the
silver Leaders, while Congressman Pat
terson is at the head of the opposing
faction. Mr. Bate's commission as sen
ator does not expire until 1899, bat if
between now and then the democracy
changes from its advocacy of free coin
age to an advocacy of gold Mr. Patter
son will be a strong man in the next
senatorial race. The fact that he lives
at Memphis, which is the home also of
Senator Harris, might militate against
him. But his leadership of the gold
cause in the state could not be dis
puted. The commission of Mr. Jones, of Ar
kansas, will expire in March, 1897. ne
is one of the most pronounced of the
free coinage men. Should it be pos
sible at that time for a gold democrat
to defeat Mr. Jones for re-election
Clifton B. Breckinridge will probably
be the candidate of that side.
Mr. George, of Mississippi, who will
serve until March 1S99, has announced
that he will not " offer for re-election.
He favors free silver. Congressman
Catchings favors gold, and it is thought
he has his eyes fixed on the senate.
The man the free coinage contingent
is likely to put forward for the George
seat is Congressman Allen. A coutest
between Catchingnnfl .A linn 1J 1
WSUUIM'll'A'
Governor Oates a Possibility.
Alabama will elect a soccessor to Mr.
Pugh a year f rom next winter. Mr.
Pugh who is an ardent silver man, will
be a candidate to succeed himself. If
silver loses ground in the state before
the time for the election Governor
Oates and Congressman Clarke are
both likely to offer for the senate.
Both are in sympathy with the admin
istration's attitude toward silver.
The contest in Georgia will likely be
the most interesting of all. General
Gordon's term expires March 1897. and
he will return to private life. Ex
Speaker Crisp stands vry high with
the silver men, while Secretary Smith,
of course, is recognized it the head of
the administration democrats in the
state, isoth, it is thought, will be in
the race, Mr. Smith with the assistance
of the administration, aad Mr. Crisp
with the backing of the friends of sil
ver he has made during his service in
the house.
A successor to Mr. Blanchard will
qualify in March, 1897. Mr. Blanchard,
as Senator, has no record on silver. As
a member of the honse he voted and
trained with the free coinage men.
There is a strong gold sentiment in the
ranks of the Louisiana democracy, and
this is manifesting itself. But silver
has its friends there also. Mr. Blanch
ard will be a candidate to succeed him
self, and if he comes out squarely for
free coinage Congressman Price will
probably be put forward by the otherl
Blue.
Mr. Mills will serve until 1899. His
present attitude on silver is not very
olearly defined.. If he comes out
against free coinage a movement for
his retirement will be headed by ex
Senator Beagan. ' The silver men are
claiming great strength in Texas.
Florida AU SUver.
In Florida, silver, as yet rules the
road. Senators Call and Pasco are both
prominent free coinage advocates.
The administration, however, may yet
find a champion there.
But all of this is predicted on the be
lief of administration democrats that
a change of money policy is on the
cards in the south. If the old policy,
survives, the old leadership will be like
ly also to survive.
