J proved to be incorrect suffered only a few slight Q rest Railroad flan Meets Horri ble Death While Riding on His Own Road. I Samuel Sjeneer, presideut of the Southern Kail ay luiupany, recognised as one of the fore tu out men in the development of the Southern States, was killed this morning, November -.M, in a rear end collision, in which two fast trains were involved, ten miles south of Lynchburg sud a mile north of lawyer's deisU. In the same wreck three of his guests were killed. Only Mr. Speucer's private secretary, h. A. Merrill, of New York city, aud one of the three porters, survived the acci deut. The following are the dead President Spencer, Washington. t harles 1). risher, Baltimore. Philip Schuyler, New York. I). W.Davis, Alexandria, Ya. Pollard, colored porter on Presi dent Speucer's car, who died iu a hospital here. An unknown person, whose head and limits are burned off short, who is believed to be the third porter on President Spencer's car. who is niissiug. His name cannot be learned. President Spencer and his entire party, as far as is known, were sleepiug when the collision hap pened, and the prohahlilica aie, that all of them excepting Dis patcher Davis were killed iustaut ly. It is certain that life was ex tinct before the flames touched them. President Spencer'a body was burned almost beyond recog nition, as that of Mr. Fisher. The body of Mr. Schuyler was taken from under the train before it was burned very much, having been signed only very slightly. President Sm-ueer s car was at tached to the rear of the Jackson ville traiu which was standing still when struck. President Spen cer was lying directly under the locomotive of the rear train. So great was the force of the impact that the forward train was scut at least I'M feet, the locomotive going over and Uwn the body of Mr. Spencer. I'ntil after the debris burued itself out and the engine cooled off the bodies could uot be taken out. The impact drove the combina tion car forward and the express car was lifted up, together with its trucks and crushed the car forty feet, leaving the remainder of the car strcwu with tons of baggage aud and large packages, which were pushed back as the express car pressed the combination dowu. The combination car did not leave the track, and iu clearing the track the express car was hauled to a siding a mile distant on top aud in the debris of the combination car. How the colored passengers in this train, which is the 'Jim Crow' part, escaped, none of them being killed, is lieyond conjecture. The wreck occurred on the crest of a steep grade wheu the Atlanta traiu could not have been running more than thirty miles an hour, if as much. Had it beeu a mile or two further south, the num ber of the dead might have been frightful, as the tram was about two hours behind its schedule, a condition in the grade there that would have meant a speed of more than sixty miles an hour. It was first thought that Engineer Kin- ncy, of Spencer, N. C, who was in charge of the engine on the At iauta traiu. was killed, but this T3UE nb I J 1 1 1 1 1 n a J iiinik HE nbovo picture of the ml IikIi is the tnul ofSeott'sKniiilsion, niul is the hviioiiviii for strength niul purity.

Spencer, sixth vice- president of the Southern Kail war, was a passenger on a north bouud train from the south, which leached the scene of the wreck lew hours after it bad occurred. He siient several hours there until the charred remaina of his father were taken from under the locomo tive, and then he came to this city with the remaina os his father and those of his party, The coach containing the corpses was side-tracked in the yard above the city. Caskets were procured for them. These were placed is the private car of Presideut Stevens ol the Chesapeake aud Ohio Railway, who was pausing through the eitv with his family, the car having been tendered for this nse by I res ident Stevens. This ear and the one coutaiuing the remains of the killed were attached to i late train going north, and the re mains were transferred to the cas kets while the train was in transit. The death of Samuel Spencer, ib a wreck of one of the trains of the system of which he was president, was a sad tragedy. It removes from the active world of railroad management and finance that is from public life a man of brilliant attainment and gnat achievement. As the head of the Southern Railway, bis genius ex pressed itself in large plans and far-reaching results. He was out of the men whom the country rec oguized as leader in the most im portant hue of endeavor looking to uatioual growth and development. Mr. Spencer was a Southerner, native to Georgia, and was educat ed at the University of Virginia. In New York bis abilities won him a high place in the financial life ol the metropolis, aud when Pierpont Morgan undertook the reorgaiuza tion of Richmond aud Danville into the Southern Railway he was chosen as the active head of the great new system. Iu the complex duties ol that position, it was largely owing to his pre emiuent ability, business vision aud broad mind that tht system has grown and become the power that it has. A man of tine address, high culture and ability and immense capacity for work, Samuel Spencer lived to make bin luiuesecure and his influence broad. That he should have been killed while traveling in the section be had greatly assisted in developing, iu bis private car, upon the road which he coutrolled and of which he was the directing brains, is sad commentary upon the uncertainty of life and effort. His death will be deeply de plored in the South, which took prido in his achievements; and in the great railroad with which bib life was intertwined bis place will never lie adequately filled, however well the work which he would have done may be performed by his sue cessor. Execution of the Rawlins Family. Vldol M'M illtcli, Kith, A Methodist conference and four hangings, all within a period of a week, is believed to be too much for an ordinary quiet town. Boat least the people of Valdosta believe and they would like to see one or the other of the attractions post poned. But the way things look at present it appears very proba ble that the whole program may be carried out according to schedule. The scheduled executions are those of the Rawlins father and sons whose case has attracted at tention throughout the country. Alf Moore, the negro accomplice of the Rawlins, is to be banged next Friday. The elder Rawlins is to go to the gallows three days later and at the end of the same week the two Rawlins boys are un der sentence to pay the penalty of death. There seems to be some chance that the Rawlins boys may otain a respite or commutation of sentence, but the case of the father, already carried to the highest tri bunal in the land, appears hope less. The execution of the father, his sons, aud their negro accomplice will mark the end of one of the most merciless and deadly feuds ever recorded in the annals of this couutry. These men were con victed for the murder of two little children, Bob and Annie Carter, in an attempt to exterminate the family of W. L. Carter. Carter and Rawlins bad been powerful revival preachers in the Methodist church. About twenty years ago tbey married into wealthy families and settled on ad joining plantations. The Rawlins family comprises three boys and two girls. Carter bad one son and three daughters. The quarrel between the two families originally started among the children and was a most trivial affair. But the elders took It up and then began the feud. Finally the fend reached the fighting stage and it was mutually under stood that trouble must ensue whenever members of the two families chanced to meet One evening the cattle in the Carter barn made a great rumpns. Bob and Annie, two of the chil dren ran out to learn the cause of the trouble. Carter had reached the porch when he saw the chil dren shet down by men armed with shot-guns. 9 Stmplamtg- m I III l r if f I .. is will hand you ROYAL evei if you io Blindfolded into his store and ask for Baking Powder.

To still their dy ing cries the murderers had ground their heels into the childrens faces and kicked them until their ribs were broken. All night long the murderers besieged the bouse, hoping for an opportunity to kill the occupants. Mrs. Carter's hair turned white in the night and the rest of the family become nervous wrecks. On the strength of the state ment made by Moore, the negro accomplice, the crime was charged against Rawlins and bis sous aud another negro named Turner. Rawlins was iu another town on the night of the murder, but was arrested on Moore's claim that he had plotted the crime. Moore said that the instructions were to kill every member of the family aud to burn the house. He said he had been paid one hundred dollars and that be and Tom Turuer were given permission to keep all the money that might be found in the building. They were tried, with the result that the elder Turuer, his sons Milton and Jesse, and Moore were sentenced to the gal lows, and Leoard Rawlius aud the negro Turner for life imprisonment A Texas Wonder.

The efforts of the colored citi zens of Chicago to preveut United States Senator Benjamin R. Till man from delivering an address here to-night in Orchestra Hall was unsuccessful. When the South Carolina senator arrived in Chi cago early in the afternoon he was told of threatened injunction pro ceedings to prevent him from ap pearing on the platform and of a money consideration that had been offered if he would cancel his en gagement, but Mr. Tillman ex pressed a scorn for both. L ntil he leaves for Fun lu Lac, Wisconsin, to-morrow, Senator Tillman will be guarded by police and private de tectives, llus is in accordance with an order issued by Mayor Edward F. limine, who was sched uled to preside at to-night's meet ing, but who refused to have any thing to do with the affair after a committee of colored citizens vis ited him a few days ago. Senator Tillman made his ad dress uuder the protection of forty detectives. In anticipation of trou ble a number of policemeu were kept at nearby stations in reserve but they were not called for. Six negro policemen mingled with the crowd which blocked the street iu the front of the hall. In the audience were many ne groes, but they listened to Senator rillmau's remarks good-naturedly, and although he was interrupted many times the meeting passed off without any trouble. In leading up to his address, "Shall the United States Annex Cubaf" Mr. Tillman took occasion to criticise Mayor Dunne's action in refusing to preside at the meet ing. "1 have been told that the mayor of this city has snubbed me," said the Senator. "I did not ask Mayor Dunne to be hero to night" If any one has been snubbed it is the gracious ladies, who planned this meeting to secure money for the Chicago I nion Hos pital aud who requested Mayor Dunne, the creature of a political hour, to come forward and add his political mite. "I have been advertised to dis cus the annexation of Cuba, con tinued Mr. Tillman, but iu view of the fact that I could not discuss that subject without discussing the race question. I am going to go at the matter with hammer and tongs. Therefore I Bhall discuss the race problem pure and simple from an American staudpoiut and not from a Cuban standpoint Ow ing to my experience with the question and the diligent study I have made of it I believe I am better qualified to discuss this question than any other man in America." While discussing 15th amendment to the eonstution, which he said gave the negro every right that a white man had, he was interrupted several times by one of his listen ers who kept asking, "How about Kentuckyl" Finally Mr. Tillman seemed to lose his temper and exclaimed: "Oh, shut your mouth. You don't know the A B V of this thing. I forgot forty years ago more than yon ener knew." "Yon make np your minds that equality before the law which the 15th amendment (guarantees is right and should be enforced, not withstanding its results. If this law was enforced it would result in two states at least being dominated absolutely by negroes, while four other states would be so near be ing goverened by the negro that there would practically be an equal division of oilioes." A voice "How about the lawT Senator Tillman "The law 1 T. hell with such a law." After telling in detail how the negro is prevented from casting his ballot in the South, Senator Tillman said : There is a great deal more to the question than the little racket here iu Chicago." A voice "How about the ne gro judge!" Senator Tillman "Well, I will tell you about your political ma chines putting him on your ticket and bamboozing those poor igno rant baboons into electing him, and then afterwards you fellows who voted the ticket without knowing what was on it, find way to cheat him out of it. No matter what the people la the North may say or do, the white race in the South will never be dominated by the negro and L want to tell you now that if somen How New Zealand Women Vote. "As to woman suffrage, I asked many about it aud men aud women seemed to agree that it is a good thing," says Charles Kdward Rus sell ; "Solliers of the "Common Good," iu the Christmas Every body's. "The men said the women have notably improved political ' life: it is the cleaner aud purer of ilthem.

Senator Tillman then told his audience of the attacks on white men by negroes and the North was in a great measure responsible for this state of affairs. In conclusion the Senator said : "Now, as a general illustration, of the injustice that is sometime done, Presdent Roosevelt dis charged three companies of col ored soldiers without a court mar tial, and in doing this he punished innocent men for the crime ol few.
