LIQUOR IN G0LDSB0R0
Election to Restore Saloons
Next Month in Doubt
Some Wayne County Freaks at the
State Fair Interested Property
Owners Working Against Plan to
Build New Union Depot.
Goldsbbro, N. C, Oct, 14. Special.
As the days drag wearily along Interest
in the election on open saloons, which
has been called for the 14th of Novem
ber, increases. As the town is now
dry, and has been for the last two
years, it would indicate that the pro-
hibition forces have the situation well
under control.
The bar-rooms were swept from the
-community by an overwhelming vote
siderable change of sentiment on the
liquor question since prohibition went
into effect. There were three hundred
and twelve names on the petition.
There are only about seven hundred
and sixty-four voters. The people who
favor bar-rooms-calculate that not only
all of those who signed the petition
will vote for saloons, but that a num
ber who were deterred from signing
the paper by a threat that the list
would be published in a local paper
will also vote the same way.
The list has not been published and
verv Drobablv will not be. Sentiment

I If the few people who own the prop

and who own the property which is
being rented to the railroads for the
inconvenient waiting rooms and ticket
offices that the railroads now occupy,
can prevent it, Goldsboro will not get
the union passenger station that has
been the ideal dream of the bulk of our
citizenship for years. A petition has
been circulated this week among some
of the business men asking that the
railroads let the -present ill-arranged
accommodation for the traveling public
remain as it is. The promoters of the
scheme have met with very poor suc
cess in obtaining names for their pa
yr. Resolutions from the board of
aldermen addressed to the corporation
commission asking that they use their
influence and good offices to secure a

MATTHESON IN THE BOX
Quakers Played an Errorlers Game
and Their Pitcher, Bender, Allowed
the New Yorkers Only Five Hits.
New Yorkers Captured Four of .the
Five Games Played.
New York, Oct. 14. The New Yorks
gained the world's championship on
the Polo grounds today, winning their
fourth victory of the series with the
Philadelphias, champions of the Amer
ican League. The baseball that the
New Yorks furnished today was, as
it was in four games out of five
played, the best their rivals knew. The
score today 2 to 0. Nature was
lavish in her favors for the final
game, and baseball of midsummer
speed was played. The fielding was
faster than in any of the preceding
games. The batting was not hard, but
it was nearly equal and a good many
hard driven balls were handled by the
fielders.
Today's game was another pitcher's
battle. It was fought hard, but there
wasoEher things besides pitching that
counted today, as in the other games.
The whole New York team was reso
lute, fast and versatile, three qualities
in they which they exceeded their op
ponents, and which helped them to
come out victorious. From the time
when Mathewson, with ball in hands
poised over head, made ready to pitch
the first ball until Bresnahan kicked
his heels in the air after the last
put out, , the three virtues men
tioned were noticeable in New York's
Victory. In three consecutive games
which Mathewson pitched the athletics
did not cross .the plate. Not a run
by the other side in twenty-seven in
nings is proof more convincing than
words can convey of how well Mathew
son pitched. In the first part of to
day's game the Athletics displayed
signs that thev were finally getting
the hang of his pitching, making three
hits in the first two innings. But -i in piewueni. committees were ap

New Yorks as he was last Tuesday,
and the New Yorks made greater

Barring a fumble by Mathewson, the
New Yorks fielded without a quiver.
pThe fielding of the Athletics was every
bit as good and a trifle more vivid.
Hartzel and Lord did gallant work in
their respective positions. Bresnahan,
who outdid himself throughout the

Graphic Description of the Mid
Ocean Accident by a Passenger. .
i , '
New York, Oct. 14. Five lives are
known to have been lost and mors
than thirty persons injured, and one
of them fatally, on the Cunard Line
steamer Campania last Wednesday!
when a gigantic wave rolled the steam
er, and swept across one of her decks
thick with steerage passengers.
John Graham of Milwaukee was ona
of the passengers washed overboard
and lost. He 'was traveling in tha
steerage. The others who are known
to have lost their lives were two Irish
girls and two other women whose na
tionality has not yet been ascertained.
When the Campania reached quar
antine today ten of the Injured pas
sengers were still in the ship's hos
pital,' some of them seriously hurt and
a score of others were nursing minor
ir juries.
The Campania was going under full
headway Wednesday afternoon. A
heavy quartering sea was running, but
the weather conditions were far from
unpleasant and the big boat's decks
were crowded with passemrers.
The steerasre deck was covered with'
merrymakers and there was nothing to
indicate the approaching disaster whfi
suddenly the big steamer lurched to
port and scooped up an enormous sea.
The wave boarded the steamer about
midship on the port side and swept
clear across the steerage deck, com
pletely filling the space between the
deck and the deck above and carrying
everything with it. .
The steamer' 3 side was buried so
deep that the passengers on the deck
above the steerage were submerged to
their waists as the immense volume of
water rolled aft and then surged for
ward. i The cabin passengers on the
tipper deck succeeded in clinging to
supports while the waters surged
around them and were saved, but the
unfortunates on the steerage deck
found themselves utterly helpless. ,
One young woman had both legs
broken at the thigh and several persona
suffered broken arms , and ribs,, while
scores were bruised and battered.
When the wave cleared the vessel tha
forward part of the deck was strewn
with injured and for hours Dr. Verden,
the ship's surgeon, aided by a number
of physicians among the cabin pas
sengers, was busy in attending to their
hurts. . i
Wednesday's disaster marks the first
time in the Cunard Line's history of
more than sixty years that a passenger
has been lost from one of its steamers
by accident. -
A description of the accident and the
subsequent scenes on board the ship
was given by Michael D. O'Connor, a
first cabin passenger, .when the steam
er arrived at her dock.
He said: "After breakfast Wednes
day morning when I was sitting in tha
cabin there was a sudden lurch to port.
I looked out of a window and saw the
steerage promenade deck completely
buried under the sea. A dark object
swept by me and out through the gates
like a chip in a large water main. A'
man at my side jumped up and cried
'man overboard.'I saw men, women and
children -of the steerage hurled about
like so-many bits of paper in a hurri
cane, and stewards rushed fore and aft
ojI the deck above the steerage trying
to calm the now thoroughly panic
stricken passengers."
Although some of the passengers
thought that the Campania should have
been stopped in an. attempt to save
those who were washed overboard, the
officers say that this was practlcally
an impossibility. Both passengers and-
officers say that the waves in Wednes
day afternoon's gale were the highest
they have ever seen.
