Raleigh," August 8. All the talk
. here today Is about the Southern Rail
' way collision, wreck and fire, the dead
engineer and the fireman, half a mile
beyond Auburn,' and tenrinlles from
Raleigh. 'All night Ion;, people went
rail and every other mode of convey
ance. . The scene was horrible in the
early hours of the morning. Many
freight cars were burned, seven early
in the night and four later, and the
fire was not extinguished until after
daylight thin morning. A special
. train at ono thirty o'clock, returning
. to the scene. Wok 800 ftt sA hose from
the Southern ynrdM time and from the
fire department, and this was connect
ed with the pump at the water tank
very near where the accident , oc
curred. At 4:30 o'clock'this morning
' the body of fireman, John Young, was
dug out frotn. under the flowing en
gine, after the latter had beetr cooled
enough on one side to allow the dig
gers to get at the body. Bethal was
at his post, atthe left side, and by him
was his shovel. The search for the
' dead engineer, Taiker, was, pushed
very rapidly; and his body was taken
out a little later. Doth bodies were
horribly disfigured, being crushed,
scalded and -burned. ; Every freight
car which left the track burned, tea
- being piled upon the big engine, and
one being thrown entire to the top of
the deep cut, 15 feet high. In which
the wreck occurred. This car, thus
on top of the bank, was also entirely
burned, the" flames having
from the great mass of wreckage be
low. There were two ' cars loaded
with pianos, and of these latter, only
the strings - remained. Another oar
was loaded with acid. One was par
t!cularly filled with ' matches, and
another carried excelsior, two of these
had lumber and two were full of coal
- The engines were bo completely
looked together and so torn to pieces
that after the powerful crane' of the
wrecking outfit had pulled away the
passenger engine and began to grip
' the frelgfft engine, the boiler of the
latter came away from the truck and
fell over in the ditch. The front part
of the mall car, nearest to- the en
gine, was for baggage, but was empty,
and the compartment of this saved
in a very wonderful way the life of
mall clerk P. M. Prltchett The noise
of the collision wiva heard more than
four miles away. Farmer Stallings,
who lived .that distance,": had " JuBt
reached home when he heard the noise
and Immediately drove to the scene,
An eneine c&ma nn from the east and
took towards Goldsboro all the freight
cars which were on the rack, while
the relief train went down from Ral
eigh and took back the passenger, ex
; press and baggage cars. At the spot
a telegraph office was quickly impro
vised ot Se fect of jt pole, and there
tha ore. ators were ousy all, the night,
' and umil late this morning, while an
with'hls roung lady , stenographer,
from Raleigh, vast number of mes
sages being sent and a great deal of
special work done. The fire was ver
. ' hard to get under control, -and' the
heat was very great. '.' The .track was
injured for quite a distance. Not until
"' noon was the wreck cleared, .trans
fers being made until that time. Dr,
Thomas, of Charlotte, who flaw the
wreck as he was coming into Raleigh
this morning, said It was one of the
"worst he had ever seen In- his life.
The force with which the engines
'went together was amazing.

Raleigh, August 8. Governor Qlenn
and the Corporation- Commission bad
prepared, tor hearing the rate dlecrlm
lnatloo inattar but the .railway men
except Henry A, Page, wired that it
was inconvenient for them to come
at this time and asked for a date
later. Delegations ot business men
were here from Durhani and Charlotte
and E. J. Justice, and James 8. Man
ning appeared for the State Merchants
Association. A date for the confer
ence was not fixed as to the larger
ailways. . k
The scene of the action was trans
ferred to the office of the Corporation
Commission. J. L. James, . ot 'the
nmes Lumber Company, ot Durham,
. W Walker aud Julian S. Carr, Jr.,
ot that place spoke freely regarding
discriminations. - Jame siad , rates4
to points over a. hundred miles fur
ther than Durham were made twenty
five per cent less than to Durham on
rTiumber. ' He said that Durham and
Raleigh were in a "High Priced Zone"
that the matter was one purely of dis
crimination and did not need any law-
er to set it out as the Commission
knew many taets and ' could easily I
gut, others. Carr said Uhe rates on
gruiu fur Louisville to Durham, were
9 cetUs and to Lynchbhrg only il
cents, so Lynchburg could far under
sell Durham. The particular Investi
gation discussed in the Commission
office was as to the Norfolk and West
ern. Chairman McNiell said Govern
or Glenn wished to be present at the
hearing. .One was finally decided for
Monday, several attorneys and busi
ness men filed complaints as to dis
crimination. Justioe filed one for
Hickory against the Southern Rail
way. . - ., - ,-.
Justice said he had been notified
by the Southern Railway officials and
by standing master Walter Montgom
ery, it had been decided to hold the
first investigation Into the books of
the Southern Railway at New York
on the 15th Instant, instead of at
Washington. Chairman . McNiell ' ot
the Commission will go to this hear
ing In New York. - ."
The cases against the Norfolk ft
Western are Important and are taken
up because this was really a contin
uation ot the Investigation. Some
Charlotte business men were afraid
they would not be given an opportun
ity to make a showing of discrimina
tion there.' They will be given the op
portuuity as all will be heard when
the general question ot discrimina
tion against the Seaboard Air Line,
Southern, A. C. L. Norfolk and West
ern, and other roads comes up. ' The
Inter-State . Commerce ' Commission
has Investigated ' at Charlotte ; and
found discrimination.-
Chairman, McNiell said the legisla
ture had empowered ' the. Commission
after full Investigations to bring suit
before the Inter-State Commerce Com
mission and thai the North Carolina
Commission Is now obtaining material
to be laid beforethe Inter-State Com
mission la this way.

The number of varieties of scoun

the Button engine did not win the

they would at least be a close second
and would reduce' the engine's pre
vious records. It was a -surprise
therefore that the time of four min

quired when it had repeatedly shown

known to be very much better than

Raleigh, August 10. The Agricul
tural Department of this State has
Just issued the very important bul
letin upon starches Used in cotton
mills and their adulterations. This
bulletin is specially prepared by Ce-J
berth D. Harris, Assistant State Chem
1st and some startling revelations are
made in it and it la of very great
value to the cotton unills of North
Carolina, which spend each year as
much as $400,000 tor starch. Early
last June two samples of starch
were sent here for examination, one
being represented to be potato Starch
and the other corn starch, the latter
was found to be as represented, but
very little potato starch was found in I
the sample claimed to be potato I
starch, the latter being mainly corn I
starch, and this caused the belief that I
a fraud was being perpetrated andl
a mixture of corn and potato starch
was being sol d for pure potato starch. I
This lead it o an investigation ot the!
quality ot the, starchs used in cotton
mills in this State, for the benefit ot
the mills, and 80 weaving mills were
asked to send samples of the kinds
ot stareh they use. About three hun
dred pounds of starch are used for
each loom operated in the State, and
as there are 53,000 looms there is a-
bout 15,000,000 pounds of starch con
sumed by the cotton weaving mills
the ayerage prlc f(Jr M BUr
being figured at two and a half cents
per pound. It Is impossible q tell
the difference in starches without the
aid of the microscope, and some man
ufacturers have taken advantage . of
this to deceive purchasers as to the
actual composition of the starch. No
one knows how long this fraud has
been going on, or now much money
has been lost by It, but the fact that
two thirds of the so-called- potato
starches examined by Mr. Harris were
found to be namelgorn.:, starch or
cassva starch, will give some Idea of
the extent of the swindle. The Ag
I rjcuiturai Department here is admlr-
ably equipped and Mr. Harris la a
well trained mlcroBCoplst .Not only
does he do this special work for this
State, but be la also called upon to
do for other States In the South,
which have not the equipment Un
der the microscope, potato . starch.
which Is the kind the mills desire to
use presents large granules, while !
corn starch shows very, small
ones. Ot course corn starch Is ex
tremely cheap, and this Is why the
swindlers use It The bulletin
produces photographs showing the
tw0 klnda of Btarchea under the'ml-
croscope. The most important use ot
potato starch is for - the sizing of
wharps. It gives a more elastic siz
ing, and at the same time is thinner
and more penetrating. The bulletin
says that starches sold by Arnold
Hoffman ft Co., New York, tor potato
starch was found to fee mostly corn
or corn and cassava starch, and In
such cases contain no particular
I gtarches at all, one sample being only
I North Carolina has thus taken the!
I g, gte ftion- thlsllne. and the other
- cotton maBnfacturina States would
t0 investigate the Quality of
starches which their mills are using.
Mr. Harris says he has samples from
other States and have found them a
dulterated as In North Carolina'. No
doubt these frauds are being perper
- ated all over the country and this ex-
Ipesurs thus made for the first time.j
I will result In a great saving to the
I mill men,. There will be a great de-
sent issue Is exhausted the Agricul
ture Department will Issue more cop-1
ies until alt the demands have been
supplied. To North Carolina, so very
prominent as a cotton manufactur
ing 8tate, the Importance of this bul
letin cannot be, over extinguished.
The frauds have evidently been very
daring, the manufacturers no doubt
being aware of the tacts that only

of the alleged peons, or the chief wit-
nesses for the government in the trial
in progress before the United States
judge here were examined today. They
testified that they had been employed
by Kline in the construction of the
Raleigh and Pamlico Sound road, bu
on account of ill treatment of one of
their members they declined to do
further work and thereupon Kline had.
them arrested, charging them with in
debtedness to him for their transpor
tation.
He gave them the privilege of choos
ing between working for him and go
ing to Jail, and working on the chain
gang.- To escape the latter they con-
sented to work on the railroad al-
though they said Kline was cruel to
them.
The alleged peons are all forelgn-
lers, and none can speak nor under-
stand English. They are natives of
Italy, Aastrla, Russia, and Poland.
Their evidence is translated by an in
terpreter. They seem to have fair in
telligence and answer promptly all
the questions propounded to them.'
The government , is developing a
strong case and Mr. Skinner, the lead
ing counsel for the government feels
confident of success. The case from
Its nature Is peculiar inasmuch as the
charge Is new under the United States
law and the difficulty in examining
the witnesses make it probable that
the examination alone will require the
