The New Kind of "Freedom."
Wilkesboro Chronicle,
The "freedom" which he "com
mercial" fellows are talking about
appears to be nothing but voting
the radical ticket. The negroes
have been exercising that "freedom"
for 40 years; the"comnercials" have
now and always haye had the right
to the sama "freedom."
Just a Hit Embarasslng
Lenoir Topic.
We had heard of a youug gentle
man of Lenoir who sent his girl a
box cf the finest candy to be ootain
cd in Lenoir. The same evening he
called with the negro "orchestra"
to give her a serenade. The ' hand
out" consisted of this same box of
candy, which put the young man in
quite an embarrassing state of mind.
Of course, the treat was appreciated.
A Suicide Craze in Wilkes
Wilkesboro Chronicle.
There seems to be a sort of suici
dal epidemic craze in the Hunting
Creek neighborhood. George Moore
and one of Silas Brooks' boys tried
to hang themselves down there re
cently. (Pity they didn't succeed.)
Moore is a brother of Oliver Moore,
who killed himself down there a
yr ar or so ago. Only a short time
ago, in May, Cling Johnson hung
himself in that same neighborhood.
Pu&ln List and Pension Tax,
Cleveland Stac.
Some people are unduly excited
over the large number of applicants
for pensions and feel disposed to
criticise the law, and express a fear
that the pension tax will become
burdensome. Don t let this yex the
righteous soul of any man! Your
pension tax will not be one cent
greater than it has been on account
of the increase in the list of pension
ers and surely you would deny to
the brave and gallant followers of
the immortal Lee and Jackson the
scanty provision that has been made1
for them in the day of their great
need.

Berlin Dispatch, 12th,
The Cologne Gazette, publishes a
dispatch from Seoul, Corea, dated
July 6, saying that bloody .conflicts,
extending over a period of 10 days,
have occurred on-the Island of Quel
part, between the Roman Catholic
missionaries and their pupils, and
the populace of the island.
Fifteen of the natives and about
300 of the mission pupils are report
ed to have been killed during the
encounters, The governor of Quel-
part says the trouble was the fault
of the pupils and arose from their
gupport of the tax collectors in levy
ing illegal taxes upon the natives.

One of the most destructive fires

Ten People Killed by the Collapsed of
a Bridge. '
Cleveland, O., Dispatch, nth.
A special to The Plaindealer from
Conneaut, O., says: "Just after 10
o'clock today three cars of the east
and local ft eight went through the
Nickel Plate bridge at Springfield,
Pa. The train left Conneaut only a
few minutes before the accideut in
charge of Engineer Wm. G. Griffith,
of Buffalo, and Conductor PhiL A.
Moore, of Buffalo. The latter was
killed out right. The bridge gang
was at work on the bridge andithe
ten men injured and mostly w6rkr
men. A fill was being made at the
bridge and about 25 workmen were
about the structure,. )
The horrible affair occurred just
after passenger train No. 3 had pull
ed through. The local, after- tL'e
passing of the passenger train,
pushed three cars heavily loaded out
on the he structure to unload stone
for the masons working beneath on
the stone foundations, The work of
unloading had hardly begun when
without any warning the whole
structure bearing the three cars,
filled with laborers, fell with an aw
ful crash into the valley. So sudden
was the affair that only one man had
a chance to leap in time to save him
self from injury. The list of dead
includes Conductor Phil A. Moore,
of Buffalo; J. S. Eaboss, workman of
Cleveland; George owartz. work
man, of Springfietd; Homer Beck-

Kngiueer Parish Died at MooresTille.
Mooresville Enterprise. '
Mr, Walter L. Parish died at the
Central Hotel Wednesday night at
10 o'clock after three weeks confine
ment with typhoid fever. Deceased
was about 40 years of ae, and was
a son of the late David Parish of
Cabarrus county. He leaves an aged
mother, Mrs. Amanda Parish, six
brothers and one sister. Two broth
ers, Messrs. Smith and Mack Parish
live in Texas; Mr. D. B. Parish, of
Raleigh; Messrs. B. E., V. C. and
W, L. Parish and Mrs. Mary Bonds,
of Cabarrus.
Mr. Parish had been in the em
ploy of the Southern Railway for a
little more than 19 years, and seryed
his employars faithfully, most of the
time as an engineer. During all
his service as a railroad man, he had
never been in a wreck. He was one
of the Southern's most trusted en
gineers. . When the North Carolina
Midland was opened from this point
to Winston, Mr, Parish asked for the
run, which was given him. Since
hfe made his home at Mooresville he
had made a great number of friends
and was esteemed by everybody.
In his death our community loses a
good citizen, the railroad an honest
and faithful man, the Pythians a
true and loyal Knight.
The remains were taken to Con
cord for burial and were interred
yesterday at Rocky Ridge grave
yard, about three miles from the
city, and in sight of his old planta
tion home, Among the Pythians and
others accompanying the remains
were: J. M. Deaton, Z. V. Turling
ton, C. T. Carr, D. E. Turner, W.
D. Templeton, J. F. Brawley, R, M.
Johnston, C. E. Cornelius, R, W.
Freeze and Mrs. L. D. Parker, Mr.
W. L. Parish, a brother of the de
ceased was with him when he died.
There were many beautiful floral
tributes laid upon the corpse, among
them a very handsome one from Zeb
Vance Lodge Kights of Pythias.
Capt. L. D. Parker and his crew
made their usual run yesterday, but
their engine bore evidence of a de
parted member, the engine being
handsomely draped in honor of him
who had held the throttle so long,
and in whom the crew ever felt a
sense of security in trusting their
lives to his safe deliverance at the
end of the line.

Knights of Pjthla Shortage-
Chicago Dispatch, 12th.
The Supreme lodge of the Knights
of Pythias, now in session at Chica
go, investigating the affairs of the
endowment rank of the order, late
last night accepted the resignation
of John H. Hinsey, ex-president of
the endowment rank, as member of
the Lboard of control. Following
this, the supreme lodge adopted a
resolution which instructed the su
preme chancellor and board of con
trul to prosecute civilly and crimin
ally all persons liable for offenses
committed against the endowment
rank. This resolution passed by a
unanimous vote, as also did another,
which instructed the chancellor com
mand and board of control to pro
ceed with a view toward expulsion
against members of the order in their
respective lodges who might be found
guilty of violating their obligations
in the handling of funds. After ad
journment of last night's session it
was said that if criminal prosecution
are instituted, which now seem to be
almost certain, a number of men who
were formerly connected with the
endowment rank and whom the su
preme lodge members consider re
sponsible for the present financial
condition, will be iuvolved. The ac
tion of the supreme lodge in accept
ing the resignation of Mr. Hinsey
was taken after two days' session,
at which the report of the board of
control of the endowment rank and
those of the insurance commissioners
of Illinois, Connecticut and Kansas,
had been goneover and fully discuss
ed. Mr. Hinsey made good his promise
to appear before the supreme coun
cil in his own defense. It was said
that his explanations regarding the
investment of funds made while he
was at the head of the rank were
far from satisfactory to the supreme
lodge representatives, but there be
ing some question of the right to ex
pel him his resignation was accept
ed. The representatives of the supreme
lodge, however, were not "in a dis
position to let the matter of Hin
sey's connection with the supreme
lodge settle his standing in the ord
er of the Knghts of Pjthias. The
following resolutions were adopted:
"Resolved, That the supreme
chancellor and the board of control
be and they are hereby authorized
and empowered and directed to pre
fer charges and prosecute or cause
to beprosecuted, before the proper
tribunaljor tribunals of the order, all
persons heretofore or nbw connected
with the endowment rank for any.
and all violations of their obligation
and for any aud all offenses under
the laws of the order.
"Resolved, That the supreme
chancellor and bord of control be
and they are hereby empowered and
directed to prosecute, or cause to be
prosecuted, criminally in any court,
all persons who have embezzled the
funds of the order, defrauded the or-
er, committed perjury or any other
offense in connection with the en
dowment rank anO they bring or
cause to be brought civil action
against all persons who are liable to
the order from any canse in connec
tion with the endowment rank."
The wording of this resolution is
generally regarded as containing
the charges under which prosecution
is to be instituted. Mr. Hinsey is a
member of the Inter-Domain Lrxlge,
of this city, and it is probable that
the supreme officers will prefer
their charges against him in that
lodge,
The supreme lodge today decided
that the most expedien t way of meet
ing the deficiency of $500,000 in the
treasury of the endowment rank is
to raise the insurance rate 'o the
maximum prescribed by the nation
al fraternity. In this way if money
shall not be forthcoming, it is likely
a special assessment of 50 cents will
be put on every member of the or.
der for the benefit of the endowment
rank. This will raise $250,000.
The board of control will continue
to investigate the affairs of the en
down ment rauk. The ouly immedi
ate action which ill be taken will
be, it is said, the instituting of some
o4.he foreclosure suits in an en
deavor to rescue as much as possible
of the money said to have been care
lessly invested.

Sixteen Persons Killed in a Collision
Kansas City, Mo., Dispatch, lath.
Sixteen persons are dead, two oth
ers probably fatally injured and
more than a score of others less se
riously hurt as the result of a head
end collision between a passenger
and fa.-T, live stock train on the Chi
cago & Alton, near Norton, Mo.,
this morning. Six were killed out
right, four died on a train conveying
them to Kansas City and four died
at a hospital in this city.
The dead are: Daniel M. Anna,
Slater, ilo., conductor of the freigat
train; P. J. Anderson, Slater, Mo.,
engineer of the freight train; Frank
Briggs, engineer of passenger train;
T. S. Rogers, Chicago, United States
Express company messenger; Mrs
Gillman, of Goodland, Jnd., all killed
outright; D. W. Hooker, Syracuse,
N. Y., died on the train, Mrs. C. W.
Snyder, Jasper, N' Y.,died oh train;
G. L. Roy, cashier of the Wilming
ton, 111., bank died on train; Sydney
Jones, Kansas City, died in the hos
pital, as did Daniel Donnelly, of
Mexico, Mo., fireman of freight train,
and Mrs. R. J. Curtis, Genesee, N.
Y.., Mrs. Dickson, 67 years old, and
Lula Ryder, a girl of 20, of Kent
land, Iod.
The passenger train was traveling
in three sections, on account of tho
heavy Epworth League business to
San Francisco. Tha wrecked train
was the first section and contained
no Leaguers,
Conductor Anna, of the freight
train, east-bound, had orders to meet
the second section of the passenger
at Slater, the next station east of
Norton, but apparently overlooked
the fact that the first section, which
was 55 minutes late, had not passed.
The head brakeman on the freight,
who was aboutfour cars from the
engine, says conductor Anna assum
ed the throttle himself and was run
ning the engine when the collision
occurred. The trains met two miles
west of Norton on a curve surmount
ing a high embankment.
A relief train started from Kansas
City at noon and returned here this
evening. Two died on the way and
were delivered to the undertakers,
while the others were distributed
between two hospitals.
The trains collided while going at
a good rate of speed. The engines
were puslu'd to either side ot the
track and practically demolisked,
while the forward cars of the pas
senger train telescoped each other.
The 'orward pullman and the tourist
sleeper iu front were burned. The
baggage car was wrecked aod the
freight c rs were pilled up on both
engines and burned. The train which
was Fjreck' d was one of the finest
passenger trains in the United
States. The equipment was all new,
including the sleeping cars, coaches,
baggage car and locomotive.
The injured suffered from scalds,
due to escaping steam from the
wrecked locometiyes, there being no
broken limbs. Some of the victims
had inhaled steam and were in worse
condition than the first examination
indicated. Soon after the arrival
here thre,e nf the injured died at the
hospital. Identification of the dead
was difficult, because the clothing
had been removed to apply relief to
the scalded surfaces. Mrs. Hilda
Haslip, of Chenoa, 111., T. C.- Bray,
of Chicago, a shoe dealer, and Mrs.
Frances Walker,of Brooklyn.and an
elderly woman, unidentified, are in a
critical condition.
Boy Killed His Companion and Thea
Himself.
Atbana, N. Y., Dispatch, 12th.
Raymond Albers, a 13-year-old
lad, this evening shot and killed
Emanuel Koehler, a boy of 12, and
then hung himself; The boys were
playing and according to statements
of nefghbors they had quarrelled
some days ago. Albers is the son of
Albert Albers, a well-known painter,
and Koehler is the son Rev. John T.
KoeheJer, a minister of the Gospel.
The shouting took place at 6
o'clock this eveaing. Young Koehl
er was standing ona fence in the rear
of Albers' house. He was with his
18-year-old brother, Theodore
Koehler, who was the only one who
saw the shooting. The little fellow
told his father to-night that the two
boys had some words and that Jlbert
raised a rifie that he had and point
ing it at his brother shot him. The
boy says that Albers, when he 6aw
Koehler fall from the fence, said.
"I'm sorry I did it." The rifle used
was a22Fiobert rifle of short cali
bre. The ball struck Koehler in the
left breas and passed through his
heart. He died almost instantly.
When Albers saw that he had done
he ran into the house and told his
mother. The neighborhood was
quiekly alarmed with the news and
during the excitement Albers had
run away. It was not until the ar
rival of th police that a search was

El Reno, Okla., Dispatch, 12th,
Following out the proclamation of
President McKinley, opening up to
settlement by the whites the 13,000
farms in the Kiowa-Commanche
country, the first registration of
homeseekers was made here and at
Lawton at 9 o'clock this morning.
Hundreds were lined before the var
ious registration booths when dark
ness came to night, and tomorrow
and Friday the registrations will
continue until all shall have been
given an opportunity to file their
names. The drawing by lottery
will begin on July 29, and until tbeu
none of the 50,000 applicants will
know whether or not he has been
lucky enough to. receive a home
stead. - ;
The lottery ""scheme robbed the
opening of the - picturesque run and
the exciting times incident to the
great opening of the Cherokee strip
ten years ago. Compared with the
event, the affair today was tame in
the extreme. Although there are
perhaps 20,000 people in town, prac
tically no disorder prevailed. As a
rule, the home-seekers are well pro
vided with money and provisions
and aside from the long wait in the
sun before the registration booths
no serious inconvenience has been
experienced.
Last night hundreds of people
slept in the streets to maintain
their places in lines which began
forming yesterday at the six regis
tration booths at El Reno. Many
had waited on the border of the new
country for two years or moe, and
the last night of their long vigil was
the most trying they had experienc
ed; The line was made up of the
hale, the lame and the brawny fron
tiersman, sprawled out in the dust.
The crowd before each booth se
lected a captain and each man and
woman in line was given a number
which each pinned conspiciously on
his or her clothing. A company
member was permitted occasionally
to absent himself from line for a
short breathing spell and invariably
his place was protected by his fel
low watchers. ,
As the hour of 9 o'clock neared in
terlopers tried to push in and break
the numerical order of - the line or
ganization. This instantly raised
bad blood, and when word was pass
ed down the line that the govern
ment officials would not recognize
the line organization, but would
register the first persons to present
themselves there was threats of vio
lence and rioting, 1 rouble was
prevented by the early announce
ment that the line organization
would be respected by the govern
ment officials. Cheers and waving
of hats greeted this word, and from
this time forth there was no sign of
trouble, lppl'cants were admitted
to the bopths four at a time and the
filing proceeded rapidly all day,
During the day heat became in
tense, but no serious suffering was
reported. The numerous 'women in
line were treated gallantly by the
men, who shuded them from the sun
with umbrellas and furnished drinks
from the lemonade venders who piled
their ranks.
The second place of registration
named in the proclamation was at
Lawton, 26 miles overland, where
similar scenes to those enacted at
El Reno were witnessed.
