WORK OF ELECTION BOARD.
Incomplete Returns From Several
Counties, Notably Surry Republi
can Vote 77,000, Democratic 123,000.
Special to The News. '
Raleigh, Nov. 30. The work of can
vassing the returns of the recent elec
tion in this state has been gotten un
der way by the board of canvassers
but it looks now like the count will
not be completed before Monday or
Tuesday of next week owing to the
imperfect returns from some of the
counties, notably from Nash, Catawba
and Union counties. A remarkable de
fect is also found from Surry county.
When this package was opened the
blanks for the returns were found du
ly signed and certified to by the proper
county officials hut every space for
election figures was absolutely blank.
It is found that there is a discrepan
cy of 100 votes from Jefferson district
in Ashe county, Kackett's vote for
Congress being short that number of
votes. The authorities in each of the
counties where defective returns have
been found have been wired to forward
proper returns with all possible dis
patch. The canvassing board as selected
from the state board of elections con
sist of Col. Vvilson G. Lamb, Williams
ton; R. T. Clay well, Morganton; J. R.
Dobson and Clarence Call, Wilkesboro.
They were elected by Messrs. E. B.
Watts and A. J. Field, clerks.
After roughly casting up the returns
the members of the board estimate
that the Republican vote in the state
was 77,000 and the Democratic vote
123,000.
BONI SEEKS STAGE.
Ccurrt. Divorced and Broke, Trying to
Get American Engagement.
Xew York, Nov. 30. Law Fields, actor-manager,
made public today a let
ter received from C. Maase, New York
manager for H. B .Marinell, the well
known Parisian vaudeville promoter,
in which it appears that Count Boni
de Castellane is looking for a theatri
cal engagement in America. In his let
ter Mr. Maase says:
"The proposition came to us indi
rectly from a source known
by our correspondent to be au
thoritative and authentic. In substance,
Count Boni is not averse to 'earning'
his living through dramatic art, but
for social reasons wil not accept any
cf the numerous offers submitted to
him by European managers.
"The negotiations led to the consid
ation of an American appearance, and
I was advised to canvass the field for
a suitable part. " Count Boni does not
desire a vaudeville appearance, pre
fering a role that will allow of his be
ing an artist, rather than an attrac
tion." Mr. Fields says that the Count would
expect $2,000 a week for forty weeks,
and that while he would be willing to
pay him a fair salary he could not
meet this demand.

o f Yesterday Morning
Responsibility for the Ter
rible Wreck in Which
President Spencer and
Others were Killed, is
Now Placed on Operator
He Failed to Notify Oper
ator at Lawyers Depot
That No. 33 was in
Block. Maddox Cannot
be Found.
By Associated Press.
Lynchburg, Va., Nov, 30,-rtThe fright
ful accident yesterday-, morning near
Lawyers depot, on - the Southern Rail
way, in which President Samuel Spen
cer and his party lost their lives, is de
clared by a Southern Railway official
due to the block telegraph rules being
disregarded by operator C. D. Mat
teax, in charge of the night trick at
the block station at Rangoon, four
miles north of the scene of the wreck
and the first station north of Law
yers depot.
Assistant General Superintendent E.
A. Coapman, of. the company, this
morning gave out the following state
ment to a representative of the Asso
ciated Press, which explains fully the
cause of the trouble:
"The investigation so far made of
the accident develops the fact that
Operator Matteax. at Rangoon, let
train No. 33 into the block and, disre
garding the rules, failed to notify the
operator at Lawyers depot of this fact.
When the first section of train 37 ap
proached Rangoon, Operator Matteax
asked the operator at Lawyers for the
block on 37. This was given by the
operator at Lawyers, who did not know
No. 33 had gone in upon the block.
"No. 33 broke down at the south end
of the curve and as soon as the train
stopped a flagman ran back to protect
his train. As far as we can learn the
flagman had proceeded about 300 yards
when No. 37 was in view on the curve.
Engineer McKinney saw the signal and
applied the emergency brake but did
not have time to leaye his seat before
the collision took place.
"An inspection of the telegraph
sheets in each of the block stations
substantiates this belief. The sheet at
Rangoon shows that No. 33 was given
the block by Operator Matteax and the
sheet at Lawyers shows that Matteax
ha(f not notified the operator that No.
33 was on the block and entitled to it.
"A fuller'investigation will be made
as speedily as possible, but we do not
expect to develop any additional facts.
The company has a number of men
scouring the country in the hope of
locating Operator Matteax, but up to a
late hour this forenoon we have been
able to ascertain absolutely nothing
as to his whereabouts."
Man Identified.
Identification was made this morning
of the negro killed and burned beyond
recognition. The victim was Benja
min Boswell, of Toledo, Ohio, a dining
car man taken aboard Spencer's car
for the trip.
Spencer's Body Removed.
The body of President Samuel Spen
cer was taken from the undertaking
establishment where it was conveyed
last night, to his home in this city
this afternoon. . ; -
Mrs.: Spencenhas been in consulta
tion during the day with the officials
of the Southern Railway relative to
the funeral arrangements, but as yet
no decisions have been reached.
Many-telegrams of sorrow have been
received at the Spencer home and at
the general offices of Southern Rail
way here, from prominent railroad
men throughout the country.
Injured Doing Well.
An investigation is being made into
the circumstances which led to the
wreck of two Southern Railway fast
trains near here yesterday, resulting
in the death of President Spencer, of
the road, and six other persons, and
the injury of many others.
The latest word from the hospital re
garding the injured Indicated that all
of Dress.
of them are doing nicely and proba

SELLS HIS WIFE FOR $50.
Then She Pays-Her Husband from
Her Own Pocket.
Port Jervis, N. Y November 30.--John
Schwartzer, who livea on the hills
back of Honesdale, Penn., has shocked

and settled near the Schwartzer home.
A friendship developed between him
and Mrs. Schwartzer, culminating a
few days ago in an offer of $50 by Ha
gar for the woman.
The wife was willing and paid the
money out of her funds, her husband

he could not sanction it. The couple
are now looking for rooms in Hones

HER MIND UNBALANCED.
Baltimore's Alleged Woman "Fagin"
Ordered Sent to Asylum.
Baltimore, Md November 30. Lida
Erman, the alleged woman "Fagin,"
will be placed in an insane asylum
by her parents. This morning, when
the hearing of the young woman, who
is charged with directing the .opera
tions of a band of girl thieves, was
continued before Justice Grannon. of
the Central district, Captain Pumph
rey testified that, from investigations
made by Detectives Hogan and Ham
mersla, he believed the young woman
to be of unbalanced mind, and that
he thought the ends of justice would
be better served if she were commit
ted to an insane asylum than if she
were sent to some penal institution.
Miss Ehman is twenty-three years
old, her father stated this morning,
and about six years ago she had a
fall and injured her head. Since that
time, her parents and the family phy
sician assert, she had shown signs
of mental aberration. Mr. and Mrs.
Erman said they would immediately

Two Charlotte
Men Escaped
Mr. Stuart W. Cramer
had Close Call in the
Fat er fu I Lynchburg
Wreck. Mr. Heath's
Unpleasant Experience.
To Messrs. O. P. Heath and Stuart
W. Cramer yesterday was indeed a day
of thanksgiving, for both escaped the
death by collision which overtook Pres
ident Samuel Spencer and his friends
in the wreck at Lynchburg. Mr. Cra
mer had a very close call. He was in
the sleeper next to President Spen
cer's private car and occupied the sec
ond berth from the rear end of that
fated car. The engine of No. 37, which
ploughed all the way through the pri
vate car, poked its nose through the
drawing room of the first Pullman and
through the first berth, stopping just
before it smashed the berth in which
Mr. Cramer was asleep.
Mr. Heath was in the third car from
the rear of No. 33. When asked about
his experience today, he said: "I
don't know whether I was asleep at
the time or not. Everything was in
such confusion that I am not able to
figure this out. I was not hurled from
my berth but the first definite expert
ence I can recall was that of falling
of going down."
Just then a wire came to Mr. Heath
regarding the cotton market and he
said he was in such a rush that he
didn't have time to say any more.
But one could-not but think of the
ways of Fortune the busy railroader
lying a charred corpse in a casket at
Washington, and the busy cotton man
spared to again, even the very next
day, plunge into the activities of
his calling.
On the same car with Mr. Cramer
were Col. Beneham Cameron, Hills
boro; Geo. W. Watts. Durham; Dr.
Parker, of New York, and others.
"We had stopped at Lynchburg,
again five miles below and still again
this third time," said Mr Cramer.
The stops were to tinker with the
defective coupler."
"Capt. Loving, of No. 33, was stand
ing just outside of ourxcar. The flag
man was supposed to have started
back around the curve to flag No. 37.
Almost at : that moment the crash
came. It was dark and women and
children were screaming, as the car
was full. I lifted the curtain to see
if we were over a tressel but saw
there was solid ground outside, but
fearing that the car would roll over
the embankment, I covered my head
with a blanket. But the car re
mained still. What saved us was the
defective coupler. It was loose, and
when 37 struck us our car bounded
forward, one hundred and fifty feet."
"No. 37 ploughed all the way
through Mr. Spencer's car. The
imokestack and cab were smashed
then the rest of the engine went
clear through that car, leaving it
like an overhead bridge, the sides
and top in tact. Of course in the
passage of the engine Spencer and
his friends were instantly killed. The

Semi-Official Statement
Given Out to Effect that
Col. Andrews, w h o
Could Claim Presidency
of Southern, will not.
Prefers to Remain Among
his People in Tar Heel
State. Big Greensboro
Co. Chartered. Two
Women are Implicated.
By Bell Telephone.
Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 30. A semi
official statement is made here today
that Col. A. B. Andrews, first vice-president
of the Southern railway, who
could easily succeed President Spen
cer, if he so desired, -will decline that
position, as he would rather stay in
North Carolina and continue his work
here than to change his headquarters
to New York.
His transfer to New York and the
taking up of the more general duties,
which the presidency of the system
would bring upon him, would make
it necessary for him to give up the
work that he is so well managing for
the road, in this state, and would also
mean the severing of old ties and
associations.
A charter has been issued to the
Hunter Manufacturing and Commis
sion Co., of Greensboro at a capital of
?500,000 by Z. V. Taylor, J. V. Scales
and others.
A charter was also granted to the
Durham Mutual Protective Association
to do a mutual life insurance busi

W. E. Moore.
Governor Glenn has today been ex

county to ask for a special term of
court in Alamance county, to try the
two negro women who have been in
dicted as accomplices of the negro
Walker in assassinating Col. L. Banks
Holt. However, the delegation failed
to come. The Governor states, though,
that he will probably call a special
term of court for December 17th. Wal
ker was to have been hanged Dec.
6th; but the execution will be deferred
so that Walker may appear as a wit
ness against these two women. It

the engine stopped. I was glad I had
left my wife behind."
"In the drawing room of our car a
baby was asleep on a seat. The Ba
ker heater was shoved against this
seat, causing the baby to fall under
it into a space, which saved its life.
It was rescued soon after.
"The crew has been criticesed for
not saving the negroes in the forward
car, but they were doing all they could
to resucue, if possible, Mr. Spencer and
those in his car all the time. There
was not looting whatever, although I
have seen the criticism of Mr. Curtis
and others to this effect. I saw train
porters, and others, carrying out traps
and valuables, and they were always
careful to have witnesses to what they
did.
"I have heard trainmen and others
ask this question, 'If No. 33 stopped
at 6:12 and the smash came at 6:15
why could not the flagman of 33 get
around that curve farther back than
150 yards in that time?"
"If train No. 33 had stopped at the
foot of the hill, on the crest of which
the accident occurred, to re-couple the
detached cars, the result of the colli
sion would have been a great deal more
disastrous," said a railroad man who
is familiar with the lay of the road
south of Lynchburg.
It seems that the Florida Express
had stopped on the crest of the hill
and was on the eve of going down it
when the cars uncoupled. This point
is about a mile distant from the next
signal station, four of the five miles
having been traversed, and therefore
No. 33 was not out of the block, ac
cording to reports heard in Charlotte
this morning. This being the case it
seems that the operator at the first
station allowed 37 to pass into the
block before receiving the signal from
the operator at the second station that
33 had passed.
"Yes, sir. The result would have
been far more disastrous had 33
stopped at the foot of the hill, for 37
would have darted down that incline
like a frightened deer," the railroader
concluded.
