Spartanburg, Jan. 25.-Harrison Ferguson, of this city, recipient of the famous Tillman letter, written just prior to the last Gubernatorial campaign, whose affidavit stating that this letter was not shown Gov ernor Blease was doubted by Senator Tillman in his reply to Governor Blease, stated this morning in con versation with ?. reporter that he would at an early date bring suit against the Senator for libel and def amation of character. >. At present at torneys for Mr. Ferguson are prepar ing the complaint, and lt is expected that all details of the suit will have been completed within the next few days and that the Senator may be called into court to prove the truth of his assertions. Mr. Ferguson, when ho read the Senator's reply to Blease, esjiecially that part in which aspersions were made on the truthfulness of Mr. Ferguson's statement, wrote to the Senator and told him ?nat he felt he had donc a grave injustice and the Senator was due him a modifica tion of his statements. There has been a rumor on the streeta since the Tillman statement was first published that Mr. Fergu son would bring a damage suit against the Senator for libel and def amation of character, but not until this morning, when seen by a repor ter, did Mr. Ferguson confirm these rumors. He did not state the amount of the suit or who would be employed as attorney for plaintiff, but rumor has it that Mr. Ferguson will aBk for $25,000 damages fr^m Senator Till man.

New York, Jan. 25.-One man was killed and thirteen injured late this afternoon in a spectacular rear end collision between two south bound Third avenue elevated trains. Both trains took Uro, and for a time it was feared that they would topple into the street. The injured were got out with much difficulty, while itie panic-stricken uninjured made their arduous way over tho ties to the nearest station. The dead man, pinned in tho wreckage, had not been identified when removed to a police station, but from the burned shreds of a police uniform and a re volver bearing a department number, it was learned later that tho victim wns Patrolman J. M. Gleason. Died Doing His Duty. Railroad ofilcers believe Gleason died performing his duty. He went to tho aid of injured persons, they think, and in trying to help a passen ger who was in a precarious condi tion stepi>cd onto the third rail. The soles of Gleason's feet were burned. The police arrested Michael Mern, motorman of the second train. Hern is in a hospital.

Tillman for United States Senator until he has had time to either prove or retract his charges that the railroads dominate tho Gen eral Assembly," said Senator Young to-night, in denouncing the Tillman charge and speaking of the Rembert resolution calling on the Senator to furnish proof of his charges. This resolution caused a hot de bate in the Senate, and Senator Young made a vigorous speech, in which he scored the charges of Till man as outrageous. Consideration of the resolution was finally post poned until to-morrow, on objection of Senator Carlisle to its immediate consideration. When Senator Young said that he favored voting for local men to-mor row when the ballot for United States Senator ls taken, In order to postpone the election of Senator Till man until he has had time to make good his charges or retract them, he verified what has been known by a good many for some time, that an effort was on foot to show the resent ment of the General Assembly to Senator Tillman's charges in such a way as would be felt, and to post pone re-electing him until the charges have been thoroughly sifted. For the past several days there have been certain ones feeling out the sentiment against Senator Till man and miiny favor the opinion ex pressed by Senator Young. The ad option of the Rembert resolution by the House fanned the spark of resent ment into vigorous flames. Senator Weston replied In strong terms to the charge of Senator Till man and called for concurrence in tho House resolution. To-morrow is the day to ballot for United States Senator, and a fight to postpone electing Senator Tillman may bo renewed In the Senate to morrow morning.

Wal halla, About Two Months Aj?o. (Atlanta Georgian, 25th and 2Gtli.) Investigating bis application for a loan, the local lodge of a secret or der to which he belongs stumbled over what ls believed to be the se cret of the double life of J. D, Mc Cloud, an Inventor, who lives at 801 Whitehall street. Ile was arrested on tho information thus secured charged with bigamy. McCloud, who is 5S years old, was married in Walhalla, S. C., Novem ber 10, 1912. to Miss Essio Pool, a young girl, who has lived with him In Atlanta. Communication be tween branches of the secret order, the police say. revealed inform?t ion that ho had a wife in Hyde Park. Heston, who is in destitute circum stances. McCloud was arrested early this morning by Bicycle Policeman Jame son. Confronted with the charge, he denied it. His girl bride of two months became hysterical, denounc ed her husband as the robber of her happiness and threatened suicide, inventor of Cotton Mill Machinery. I McCloud came to Atlanta several weeks ago from Boston. Ho says that lie is an inventor, dealing with cotton mill machinery altogether, and that his mission in the South has to do with disposing of lils patents to Southern cotton' mills. In * the course of his trip to the South he lived a short time in Walhalla, where he met and 'won Miss Essie Pool. In Atlanta the task of disposing of his patents was hard and returns were small. He was forced to tura to the secret order for aid, and re quested a loan. The local lodge, according to cus tom, opened coniniunication with his home lodge In Hyde Park, Boston, requesting information regarding him. In the letter lt was stated th it McCloud was living in Atlanta with his wife. An answer came from the Massa chusetts lodge, declaring In surprised tone that McCloud had a wife in Hyde Park who had 'been living in poverty ?unce his departure seyeral: Months ago. A warrant for his ar rest was issued and he was taken this morning. McCloud, in the city prison, re fuses to talk, but through his attor ney he denies all allegations oi hig amy. His case was called In the re corder's court this morning, but was postponed and will be heard to-nior row morning. Wife No. 1 Coming. Astounded at the information that her husband ls held in Atlanta on a bigamy charge, Mrs. J. D. McCloud, of Hyde Park, Boston, ls coming to Atlanta to see for herself what she cannot believe from others. A dis patch from Boston to-day announced her intention of hurrying to Atlanta. Mrs. J. D. McCloud, of Hyde Park? while declaring that she does not be lieve her husband would prove faith less, according to dispatches, at the same timo unconsciously corrobo rates much of the charges against him by announcing that her hu L.nnd went South in August for his health, and that she heard from him in a letted postmarked Atlanta only three weeks ago. McCloud's alleged double matri monial life was revealed by commu nication between tho Atlanta branch and the Hyde Park branch of a fra ternal order lo which he belongs. In tho dispatches from Boston to-day, Mrs. J. D. McClud, of Hyde Park, ad mits that her husband In a member or a local lodge of that order and that she has paid his due3 regularly. Still she cannot believe that he is guilty, but Is coming South to find out. McCloud himself refuses to make a statement. Arraigned before Re corder Broyles to-day, he waived ex amination, and was bound over un der the sum of $1,000, to await the action of the grand jury. Failing to furnish bail, he was sent to the Tower. Girl Wifo Goes Home. His South Carolina girl wife, Mrs. Essie Pool McCloud, who was over whelmed by the charges against the man whom she married Just two months ago, has returned to he" home. Tho principal wiKess against McCloud in couil to-day was J. T. Ketchem, a Decatur street jeweler, treasurer of the lodge to which Mc Cloud applied for a loan, and whose investigations supplied the basis for the charge against him. Ketchem declared that McCloud told him of a wife In Hyde Park, Boston. Correspondence with the Hyde Park lodge was placed in evi dence. McCloud's attorney announced In court that his client preferred to make no answer at this time. Engineer Convicted. Carterville, Ga., Jan. 25.-Samuel Farris, engineer of a Louisville & Nashville ral?road passenger train that recently crashed Into an auto mobile at a road crossing near here and killed Miss Carolina DuBose and seriously Injured her father, W. F. DuBose, to-day was found guilty by a Jury of Involuntary manslaughter. Judge A. W. Flte sentenced him to pay a fine of $1,000 or serve twelve months In jail. The case will be ap pealed. Mr. DuBose is an Atlanta newspaper man. "HIT DOO HOWIA," SAYS BKN. Throw Rock in Diselutrgo of Duty and Railroad Attorneys Howl. Washington, Jan. 25. - Senator Tillman said to-day, with reference to Thursday's proceedings at Colum bia: "I have read with much Interest la yesterday's South Carolina papers the Rembert resolution offered in the House and passed by lt, calling on me to produce the evidence in sup port of the charges of corruption In this legislative body. I have also soon Statements in the papers of what this and that Senator and mem ber had to say about tho matter. I Some claim I have Insulted tho L?g islature and objected to the publica tion of my reply to Governor Blouse In the Journal. "All of these things have amused me very much, because I remember having used an expression long ago, which is applicable to this case-Mt ls the blt dog that howls.' 1 threw tho rock in the discharge of my duty, as I thought, and. behold, tho railroad attorneys in the General Assembly began howling at once. They must oe blt-that ls they must, feel under suspicion and are howling to attract attention to their patriotism and su perior virtue. Their Indignation ls pathetic. Says People Are Wtitching. "Now, let us see what I have donc hi the letter to Mr. Ralley, written last Augiut, just before the primary, and in tho answer to Blease, I spoke in general terms about tho General Assembly and tho wnv lt had been influenced by the railroad attorneys inside of it and out of it. My warn ing to this General Assembly ls cer tainly Permissible, because I wanted to put lt on notice that tho peoplo are looking and watching and expect them to do better than their prede cessors. No member of the House, as I can see, has any right to complain at all except a few old ones, and there are not many of these. The hold-over Senators in Hie Legislature are the only men who can be legiti mately aggrieved, and they ought to beware of trying to defend . thajr/.. predecessors, unless they are able to prove that those predecessors In their voies have not been influenced by Ben Abney and other railroad law yers. "This ls not the first time I have criticised the Legislature about rail road matters, nor is it the first time that State Senators have criticised me for my utterances. Not Through Yet, Perhaps. "lt is not the first lime that Sena tor Tillman has insulted the Legisla ture, nor will it bo the last, if he lP.es long enough and lt keeps on doing as lt has done. The people of South Carolina will retire any man they have seated for office when they come to believe that he is corrupt or corruptible; at least, that is my be lief. "I have boasted In my lectures In the North that there ls not enough money In Wall street to buy South Carolina, and I believed I*, to bo true. I still believe lt to be time, but public morals In the State have rapidly grown bad in the last ten years, and I am coming to doubt whether my boast could now be made and sustained. Wo will see the tem per of the great Assembly by Its ac tion in purifying and protecting the primary. It has the opportunity to lift the State out of the slough of despond and disgrace In which lt now wallows. Will it do lt? "Until the Senate passes the reso lution I will not answer it officially, and will not have more to spy until I hear further from Columbia." FIGHT ON TILLMAN COLLAPSED. Was Re-elected Tuesday, His Oppo neists Showing Littde Strength. Columbia, Jan. 28.-The threaten ed opposition to Senator B. R. Till man collapsed when it faMod to re ceive the support expected and the two Houses of the General Assembly, balloting separately, re-elected him unanimously this morning for the fourth time as United States Senator from South Carollha, for the full term beginning March 4. To-mor row the two Houses will meet ?u joint session to ratify this choice. In the Senate last night the resent ment against Senator Tillman because of his charge ih'.t t> -allroads domi nated tho Gene?*' issembly broke out afresh, and 1 speech in which he scored Tillman, Senator Young,of Union, suggested that the election of Senator Tillman be postponed until he could either prove his charges or retract them. Opposition Collapsed. This morning lt was thought that the fight against electing Tillman would be renewed, but those behind it found that lt did not meet with any support. Several favored the matter, but the overwhelming major ity held to the view that they were bound to re-elect Mr. Tillman, as he was tho choice of the primary vote. This view was followed and the oppo sition to him ?eased. Before casting hie vote for Tillman, Senator Young said that he did so under protest and because he was tho agent of the people of Union county. Senator Tillman is expected to ar rive here- to-morrow to attend tho Natlonal'Corn Exposition now in pro gress, -al
