IN SUPREME COURT
(Special to The Sentinel.)
RALEIGH, Sept. (1 When the third
district cases are called in the Su
preme Court next, week for argument
on appeal the one of most interest
probably wHl be th estate vs. William
Sultan, from New Heme, in which the
novel question of the eligibility of a
member of an anti-saloon league to
sit as a juror in the trial of a person
charged with retailing liquor without
license will be the Issue. The plain
tiff was convicted before Judge Long
and sentenced to five months Impris
onment and $500 fine. The trial judge
refused to bar antl-saloon league mem
bers from the jury and the defendant
exhausted his peremptory challenges
on members of the league and still
others were left on the Jury. The con
tention Is that the league members
are unduly prejudiced against a defen
dant charged with violation of the li
quor laws.

A street car packed with passen
gers bound from Vinton to Roanoke,
Va., went through' the bridge over
Tinker creek about 'J:llu yesterday
morning. One man was killed and four
men and one lady injured. The pas
sengers were eiiroute lo Roanoke to
see Robinson's circus and parade.
The World gives this report of the ac
cident: The presence of mind of Conductor
Taylor Trout saved many from brok
en limbs, and probably death. H"
was in the middle of the car taking
up fares, when the" bridge gave way.
People were thrown on lop of each
other, and little children fared the
worst. Several ladles fainted and
others became hysterical. Mr. Trout
pulled people to their feet and got the
children out safelv. He would have
been thrown out If his foot had not
caught In one of the seals.
Mr. Norman Franklin was miter
mail. He escaped iujiny.
The car had slopped on the east end
of the bridge to take on some Mid
way passengers, and was nrivlng very
slowly when the bridge gave way. It.
gave way just as the car was In tl:.!
centre. The front of the car rested on
the pier of the bridge, while the low
er one dropped on a small Island in
the centre of Ihe creek. The iron
work of the upper end of the bridge
twisted around the car. and the negro,
Charles Cuff, was caught between th
iron work and the car, and crushed
through the abdomen, and lil.i .ai'.n
broken.
The women and children made their
way to the island and waded to the
hunk. News of the accident was sent
to the city, and a special was sent
down with physicians. Charles Par
ker, P. R Lime and Frank Hell were
taken to the hospital. Mr. Long went
to his. home in Vinton, and Mrs. Price
went to her home In Midway.
Young' Parker's arm had to lie am
putated at tho shoulder. He Is from
Vinton.
Cliarie., Cuff, the colored nwe who
was killed, was about years of aue.
His body was taken lo .1. ,t. Onkly A
Co.'s and prepared for burial, ai.d lat
er to Vinton.
The bridge that went dow ,i was
built in IHU1 by the Virginia Urlrige
and Iron Company, and Mr. Il.-.iieocl;
stated thin morning that he had eeery
reason to believe Hint II was i sub
stantial structure. No one seeoi"! to
have any idea of the cause of the
bridge breaking. II was probably due
to Hie car coming on with stn h a
heavy loud and moving slowly.
The bridge has a span of sixty ff"
and when it gave way in th" centre,
the whole structure was bent down
ward. The track was raised up (or
a distance of twenty feet from th
bridge like a bow.
The first reports that came to the
city were io the ( ffeet Ihat nu'.iy had
been 'killed and cn-aled consiilciahie

The const met ion force w ..s sent

CREATES A SENSATION
(P.y Publisher1 .Press.)
LONDON, Sept. f, Tho Countess of
Warwick created a sensation yester
day In an address before the trade
union congress when she declaied
that because of her radical views on
socialism she was being snubbed by
aristocrats. Stretching out her anus
she cried:
"Before long tin' storm will burst,
there will hi- social revolution. So
cialism Is the only hope of workers."
Despite the undoubted sincerity of
the countess there is a marked diver
gence between socialists and laborers
regarding her championship of the
cause. Many think iIip presence of
the wealthy, rich-gowned aristocrat
on their platform must weaken the
movement.
