SIXTY PERSONS CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Trolly Car Plunges Down Hundred Fool Em
bankment-Hundred Passensors on lt.
Toe AM A, WASH., July I.-Nearly
a hundred people, passengers on a
car bound for this city, were plunged
down a gulch at Twenty-sixth and
C ..treels at 8 a. tn. Those who were
standing on the platform dropped
off, only to bo bruised and wounded
by the heavy body of the coach,
while others inside were killed and
mahned before they knew what bad
happened. Thc car jumped tho
track and was smashed to kindling
wood in thc bottom of tho elitism,
over a hundred feet below. The
dead will number nearly three score,
for there arc many of tho injured
who will never recover and who un
expected to die at any moment, and
there ar<'at least sixty ot* thc pas
sengers of thc car now in tho vari
our hospitals and under tho care of
their own physicians.
Residents of tho ncirby towns
Edison, Lakeview, Parkland, Lake
Park and other places-ate coming
to Tacoma to spend tho Fourth.
Their journey was nearly at an end
when they met death in a horrible
manner. Crushed, maimed and man
gled, tho unfortunates were dragged
from beneath the wreck of thc car
and laid on tho grass. ll. was a
spectacle of carnage such tts is
scarcely ever observed, even in war,
for canvheels and trucks and heavy
timbers make more horrible wounds
than bullet and shell. Thc agoniz
ing cries of thc wounded and tho
dying as they lay on tho sides of the
gulch and on tho bottom or were
held down lintier heavy timbers thal
once formed a part of the wrecked
car, could be heard for blocks away.
Citizens, policemen, li remen, guards
men, e.v-voluntcers and women and
children aided. Thc sh les of the
gulch are steep ; in fact, SO sleep
that a goat would hardly venture to
descend them, but the eries of Un
wounded made men forgot Ibis and
they plunged down without regard
to their own safety. Popes were
quickly procured and the victims of
the wreck were drawn carefully lo
thc top of tho gulch, livery physi
cian in the city was called. The
Fanny Paddock and St. Joseph hos
pitals wen; soon crowded with in
jured. I lacks, express wagons and
all sorts of conveyances were pressed
into service, but the dead wagon was
there, and that was in use, loo. lt
It made journey after journey, ami
it was always full. Heys, girls, tuen
and women were its freight. Tho
morgues of tho various undertaking
rooms were scarcely large enough
to hold all. When thc dead had
boori sorted from the living and Ibo
last om; had been rescured from I ho
wreck, excited men and women and
children besieged the morgues search
ing for missing friends.
Thc heavy rains have so injured
crops in tho region of Vicksburg,
.Miss., that the conditions arc worse I
than for years past. Sections of
Georgia, Alabama and Texas have
been similarly affected.

Chairman Richardson'> Address
It wa? very proper that Hon. J.
I). Richardson, of Tennessee, should
be chosen permanent chairman of
the Demoeratie National Conven
tion.
He is the leadi of thc Demo
eratie party in the House of Repre
sentatives; a man of admitted abil
ity and a skilled politician. Having
had sueh a long experienco in na
tional legislation, having demon?
struted so well his capacity as a
leader and possessing such full
knowledge of thc issues upon which
the campaign now opening will be
fought, be is admirably qualified to
preside over the deliberations of tho
great council of tho Democratic
party.
Mr. Richardson wastes no words
either by way of introduction or
conclusion. Ile comes directly to
business and quits when he has de
livered his message.
lie declares that whereas tho para
mount issue of tho Presidential coo
lest of 1896 was 10 to 1, (referring
to silver coinage), there is now pre
sented another issue of 10 to I, which
is still more important.
The D?mocratie party, according
to Chairman Kiohnrdson, should
press sixteen issues in their appeal
to the country this year. Ile states
oaeb of these issues very brielly ami
yet with clearness and force.
They aro categorically as follows:
I. Imperialism.
.J. The Trusts.
:!. Tin- Protective Tariff.
I. Ilimetalism.
f>. Tho .Monroe Doctrine.
ti. Tho Nicaragua Canal.
7. Abuse of Civil Service.
S. Statehood for Territories.
1). Tho Porto Rican Tariff,
lo. Tho Philippines.
I I. Pet Hanks.
12. War Department Scandals.
13, Cuban Postoflicc Robberies.
I I. Entangling Alliances.
15. War Taxes.
IO. Monstrous Extravagance of the
Present Administration.
Mr. Richardson outlines theso as
the sixteen issues which are to be,
or should lie pressed by the Demo
cracy in the coming campaign. Ile
says they constitute sixteen parts of
tho proper campaign. The one
other needful part, he says, is the
assurance to the country that the
party moans what it declares, ami
will be line to its professions and
sullicient guaranty of sincerity can
bo given by the nomination of W.
.1. lil yan for President. The speech
ul* Chairman Richardson was pointed
and forceful.
Ii presents the issues which will
form tho contention between the
two grenl parlies and is a very im
porlant deliverance.
ll will be observed that the ad
dress contains no sp?cifie endorse
ment of the free coinage of silver af
the ratio of IO to 1, not even an
allusion to ii, which is a ri narkablc
omission in view of the insistance ol
Mr. Rryan, the certain nominee oi
tho Convention, that ibis policy sha!
be clearly and emphatically pro
claimed.
Chairman Richardson may there
fore be taken as an exponent of tin
conservative element of tho Conven
(?.ilion the silver qUCSt'lOU-it cai
hardly be ca d an issue at till

KILLED IIIS FATHER.
A Ninetoon Yoar Old Nop.ro Boy Shools His
Father in Soil Dolense.
Another homicide in this county,
but thin timo tho killing appears to
have boon in self defense. Lewis
Wattts, colorea, was shot and killed
above hero Thursday evening about
night. It at appears that Lewis
was accustomed to whipping tho
household occasionally, wife and
children, largo and small, and that
evening he made a start on bis wife,
having whipped her unmercifully
and threatened to kill her, but she
got looso and ran off and was mot, as
sho wont away from tho house, by
ber children who had been fishing
and who took her back to tho house.
Lewis started for Johnson, his oldest
son, with a ra/.or in ono hand and n
rope in tho other (ho used the ropo to
his wife.) .Johnson backed toward
tho door, but the obi man got a good
"swipe" or two with his razor, plant
ing an ugly gash in the boy's ann.
After that bout was over it was tho
boy's turn to got in Homo work. Ho
had n pistol in his pocket.
Ho promptly drew tho pistol
and fired the fatal shot, tho
hall laking effect in the back just
above thc right shoulder and going
entirely through tho body in near
range of the heart. The father ran
out into the yard a few steps and
fell on his face where be lay lill yes
terday morning when the coroner's
jury moved bim, with a ra/.or in one
hand and a rope in the other. Dep
uty Sheriff Wilson went up and
brought the boy down yesterday
morning and lodged him in jail. Ile
made no attempt whatever to escape,
feeling, wc suppose, that his course,
sad and awful as it was, was justifia
ble in the eyes of tho law.-Lancas

Intensive vs. Extensive Farming.
The successful farmer of thc fu
Lure must farm fewer acres and grow
more per acre. Rotation of crops
and diversified funning and slock
raising arc the plans to he adopted
for laying thc best foundation for
success of tho future fanner, and, as
it costs no more to raise a well bred
animal than it does a scrub, botter
sell off thc inferior stock, and in tin
future none but the very besito con
sume thc crops raised. Fewer ani
mals in number and belter ones tc
consume the grain and grass raisctl
on fewer acres is tho road to BUCCOSI
in these ?lays of small margins am
sharp competition. Tho writer hat
observed one great mistake made bj
many farmers. They undertake t<
do too murd), so that they have no
lima lo give growing crops propc
attention at the right lime.
Helter drop off one or two thing
in which there is the h?lst profit, an?
put more time on other crops tba
pay heller. Thc successful l'arme
of the future will find that ho can
not afford to undertake more thai
he can do well. I have had ox pori
euee enough to know that in farm
ing many things must be done a
thc right tune to secure a good am
profitable crop. If wc would hav

I lenee it is evident lo every ma
that if wo grow clover and timolli

Hear Admiral Louis Kemjiff ia
pruminenlly before the public now.
The State Department and the Navy
Department agree that bo ban dis
tinguished himself in his handling of
affairs. Tho naval forces of the
United States in the Chinese difli
oultics are in charge of the Hear
Admiral. Ho has been advanced
from one position lo another because
of tho excellence of Ii?H service in
Hie navy. Ho was born in Illinois,
and was appointed to tho naval
academy from that State in 1857.
He was with the steam frigate
Wabash in 18G1, assisting in tho
blockado of the South Atlantic. Ile
was in much important naval light
ing of the civil war, and was pro
moted for bravery in action. For
three years, 1877 to 1880, lie Waa in
charge of the navy yard at Marc
Island. Ho then took charge of thc
Adams for three years. Ho was
selected by Secretary Long to have
charge of the naval station at (Jnam,
but he is now doing in China the
most important and satisfactory
work of his life.
NEGROESTND MILLS.
Tho Charleston Darkey Docs Not Suit lor
Cotton Mill Work.
There arc probably 85,000 negroes
in Charleston; nevertheless, the cot
ton mill in thal city, which is being
operated willi negro labor, linds it
extremely diilicult to secure tho
hundred or so bands that it needs.
Of thc colored population, probably
one in every three may bc called an
idler, while only one of thc other
two works steadily the year round.
All that thc mill requires is that thc
employee shall take an interest in
tho work and put in full limo, but it
seems thal the Charleston darkey
cannot, or will not, comply with
those simple and reasonable condi
tions.

Signature of
Moise on Hoyt.
In a business letter to thc Green
ville Mountaineer Gen. IC. W. Moise,
of Sumter, says :
I shall volo for Mr. Hoyt for Gov
ernor and usc all thc iulluencc 1 can
bring lo bear to cause others to do
thc saino. My reasons arc :
1st. Mr. Hoyt bas been well known
to mi' for .'!8 years. Ile was on thc
Executive Committee in 1870 and
did bis whole duty.
2d. He was a good sohl ?or and
bears marks of bis sacrifices for bis
State and country.
3d. He is a man of high moral
tone ami of unblemished character,
one who will give dignity to thc Gu
bernatorial chair.
.llb. He is opposed lo the dispen
sary, which I dcom thc pregnant
cause of thc troubles wc arc having
with thc negroes.
5th. It is due to ibo people ot" tho
Slate tn elect Col. Hoyt, because
they voted for prohibition before
and were defrauded out of their
right to have thc scheme of prohibi
tion tried by tin" substitution ol" thc
dispensary law for thc bill which thc
pooplo had demanded and which was
then on its passage
lilli. Because, although prohibition
may not prohibit, as, in fuel, I be
lieve it will not, yet it will make thc
getting ol' liquor by thc negroes
much more diilicult. There may bc
places whore liquor can bc bought
under prohibition, but the best peo
ple will sustain thc law until its fail
ure is shown and tho prohibitionists
will have had their opportunity and
will bc satisfied.
7th. HcoatlSO I regard thc dispen
sary law as tyrannical and an at
tempt to make thc dealing in liquor,
in retail quantities, respectable by
ngnging tin; Stale in it.
