Love triumphed over red tape re cently at the immigrant depot, when thc Noordland landed her passengers at the foot of Washington avenue, says The Philadelphia Public Ledger. One of the first to leave thc ship was Peter Docherty, a bright looking young fellow from Kildare, Ireland. He was greeted by two pretty girls, but before they could more than ask after lils health he was hustled into the immigrant landing bureau, and tiley were left crying outside. When the young man's turn came tu be examined by Deputy Immigration Commissioner Hughes, he announced that he possessed only 85. He told Commissioner Hughes that he had come here to marry one of the two sisters who had come from Elkton, Md., to meet him. Thc commissioner pointed out that after he had paid his fare to Elkton 81.30-he would only have 82.70 and a gripsack of clothes with which to be gin housekeeping. This, the oillcial thought, was hardly a sufficient capi tal for a start in life, and in conse quence ordered the newcomer detained as being "likely to become a public charg?." During thc examination thc two girls managed to gain entrance to the landing bureau, and when the bride to-be heard that her lover was to he returned to Ireland she made her way forthwith into Commissioner Hughes' office, accompanied by her sister, both crying bitterly. Between sobs the girls pleaded for Peter's release, and Afr. Hughes finally relented on thc bride-elect, assuring him that she had money in the bank and would sec that her future husband was provided with j work. The man was, therefore, re leased, and the trio started for Elk ton. Tiie New Jersey Way?

A EAII/HO?D HOBROBi j ?wfl Trains Carrying A fiig Cir??l j Came Together. TWENTY-THREE PEOPLE KILLED AH Mn ny Moro Badly Injured; Sonic [ or tho Animals Killed Also, Hon Hilo Spectacle lu the Grey Dawn; Wallace Brother's clrcus was wreck ed tn the Grand Trunk yards at Der raud, Mich., Friday morning andi twenty-three men mostly employees of | the circus, including a few of thc per formers, were killed outright. Twenty more were Injured, some fatally. Thc show was traveling in two "sections over the Grand Trunk tracks from Lansing to Lupe rc, and thc accidet.t it is said, was caused by thc failure of thc second section of the train to stop on time. The two sections were travel ing near each other, and the second I ran Into the first at full speed. Tl e loss to thc circus people will be heavy. Some of those killed and injured were railroad people attached to the | train, including Trainmaster J. Mc Carthy ol the Grand Trunk. Thc wreckage of the engine and four cars was strewn about and piled high, while the shrieks ot' the injured and tlie bcllowiug of the "frightened ani mals could be heard above thc hiss of escaping steam and the excited shouts of the rescuers, lt was hours before the injured were rescued front the wrecked cars. Slime or them are in terrible agony and it is feared that seven more will die. Thc wreck according to thc state ment of the engineer of the second section, was caused by the failure of the air brakes to work, lt was .'1:45 u'elock when thc hist section pulled into the west end of the Grand Trunk yards here. A red light was hung on the rear car to stop the second sec tion. lOnginccr l'ropst of Hattie Creek, who was running the engine of thc rear train, says he saw the light and applied Lite air brakes. To his) borrow they refused to work. Ile re versed his engine, but the momentum of the train behind was too great and, with a crash that aroused all the town near the yard, thc two trains met. Three cars ol' the stationary lirstJ section were telescoped, and the en gine and live cars of the moving train were demolised, the rear car of the I tirst section, thc caboose in which the trainmen were slcepiug and thc next| two, tilled with sleeping circus em ployees. The greatest loss of life was in tlie caboose. One of the wrecked cars of the second section was occu pied by live elephants and several cam els. One elephant and two camels I were killed outright, while thc other | animals and their trainers escaped. With thc exception of this car, none I of the menagerie were wrecked, the | other demolished cars containing can vas or wagons and there was compara tively little excitement among the wild animals. As soon as they recov-1 ered from thc lirst shock the trainers rushed among the cages, quieting the few beasts that were excited. Thc escaping steam and the screams and cries of those pinned in thc wreck made a horrifying situation in the gray of the early morning, when the trainmen in the yards and the aroused towns-people lirst reached the scene. Many (eared at lirst that some of thc menagerie had escaped as some of tl.e animals could he heard. All available drays and wagons in the vicinity were used for ambulances, and for several hours after the accident these was ill steady procession of the extemporized ambulances from tlie scene of the ac cident in the railroad yards to the| Hotel Richelieu. Thc dining room of thc hotel was used as an operating room by the surgeons. A score of | wives and daughters of rescuers vol unteered as nurses and worked with the surgeons all thc morning. More than twenty of the injured were fastened and pinned down in thc I wreckage, so that they had to be j chopped and pried out. It was late in tlie morning before all had been ex tricated and removed to the hospital. All of the animal cars were unloaded, and the cages removed to neighboring field, where the animals could get air and quiet down after tlie excitement. AN OHIO MOB After a Black Brute anti Bent on IjyncliiiiK Him. St Clairiville, Ohio, a small city in Belmont county, was thrown into a panic. Thursday evening when lt be came known that a terrible outrage had been prepetratcd on Mrs. M. Iii Stowe, one of the most prominent, and highly respected residents of the town who was criminally assulted hy young negro lawyer. Tlie woman had been out for a walk during the afternoon and remained later than she had anticipated. About 1) o'clock she started for her home, the route extending through a lonely tract of woods. When within 2?? yards ol' her home, she was seized by tlie negri and thrown to the grown. She made a brave hut unsuccessful struggle for her honor. When tl woman regained consciousness, her pitiable scream attracted the alte tion of passers, who rushed to her assistance. Slic was taken to her home where she told of the brutal outrage, posse formed of tlie most prominen citizens Of the county, was organized and set out in pursuit of the negro who escaped to tlie weeds. The en raged mob is fully armed and bent on lynching the brute when he is apprehended. Mrs. Stowe.is in a crit ical condition as the result of her aw ful experience. Her assailant is a well-known negro, C. H. Itu ms, who has been practicing law In that vicinity. A report receiv ed late Thursday night states that thc bloodhounds have scented the trail and the chase is being pursued witli renewed vigor. Tu Kitts ls a concern in Augusta, Gai, known as thc Washington Loan Company that is somewhat high in its rate of interest. A negro hoy car ried this company into court on a loan of two dollars, for which his bicycle was put up, and his attorney, Mon. W. II.

Thc following l? thc report of the condition of the drops as Issued hy Section Director Bauer' Tho week ending Monday, August 3? had a mean temperature of 82 de grees, which ls ahout 2 degrees above normal. Thu early part was exces sively hot, the latter hud about nor mal temperatures. Thc winds were generally light, hut some damage re sulted from high winds in thc western counties. The relative humanity was abnormally low during the lirst half of tile week, causing vegetation to wilt during the daytime and even ab night, | but tlie second half wus more humid. About normal sunshine prevailed dur ing the week. Thc week's rainfall, as reported by correspondents, was comparatively light and consisted of widely scattered local showers, that wero very benefi cial where they occurred, as raia was needed over thc whole State, but many places had none or else insufllcient amounts. During the last two days additional rains occurred, that were not covered by the reports, and thc showers were quite general and heavy In the central counties, but were light in tlic extreme we-; tern ana extreme eastern ones. These late rains thoroughly relieved thc drought over a large portion of the State, and to that extent were of great benelit. The week's weather was generally adverse during the lirst half, iii its effect on crops, especially on corn, owing to thc heat and dryness of the air, and lack of moisture in the sur face soil, bot farm work progressed favorably and nearly all crops have been laid hy. Late corn in the eastern and carly corn in thc western counties sulfured considerable i tri pair incut for want of rain, and tired badly, atid is lu a criti cal condition; while early corn in the eastern, and late in the western coun ties su tiered but little, tlie former be ing about ripe and the latter being not yet in silk tassel. Bottum land corn is fairly promising. Cotton suffered somewhat fruin lack of moisture, although op still" and rich lands the elTects or the dry weather were principally to check its hereto fore rapid growth and cause it Lo bloom to ils toips, but on light, sandy soils cotton not only stopped growing hut also began to shed its leaves and fruitage. Portions of the crop are well fruited and still blooming freely, while a smaller portion is not well fruited and is in a generally poor, unsatisfac tory condition. Sea island cotton maintained its healthy color but its g row th was checked. Tobacco curring is nearly finished in tlie eastern districts and about half finished in tlie central and western ones. The hot weather and absence of rain were unfavorable on rice. Pears doing well. Sweet potatoes are ex ceedingly promising. Much hay was secured in prime condition. Late fruit? are valuable hut only fair at best. In places preparations are under way for j fall and winter crops. BORN AT POLICE STATION. We i IM:UI Turned Into tiiftSU-<ref by Un recline Bonni i iiRhouac Keeper. A special dispatch to the Augusta Chronicle from Macon, Ga., relates this cruel act of a boarding house keeper in that city. Thc dispatch says: Unattended except hy lier five year-old daughter and without funds, Mrs. A. ll. Kitchens, of Warren ton, was thrust Into the streets at 2 o'clock Thursday morning and after being sent to police headquarters in a hack, was placed in a ambulance to be car ried to the hospital- Ilefore the am bulance had left the police station and while it was still standing in thc street, Mrs. Kitchens became a j mother. Mrs. Kitchens left Warren ton Wednesday for Macon, whore she was to meet her husband, who was ex pected from Hawkinsvllle. The hus band did not arrive on time and Mrs. Kitchens went lo tlie Reeves House to spend tlie night. Willie there she became ill and when thc proprietress of the house, so the police say, found out lier trouble and discovered she was without funds, a telephone message and also a note were received at police headquarters asking thc removal of Mrs. Kitchens immediately. When tile station house sergeant informed thc hotel proprietress lie had no au thority to do so. Mrs. Kitchens was sent to tlie city hall in a hack. After receiving medical attention from Dr. Gibson, city physician, thc motlier and lier baby were removed tu tlic Home for tlie Friendless until tho husband, arrives from llawkinsvillc. I loth Mrs. Kitchens and lier husband are well known to several of the elli ce rs. "Had I known," said one of them, "that Mrs. Kitchens was placed upon the street at such an hour because of a lack ol' funds, 1 could have raised immediately all the money necessary for lier comfort from the policemen. 1 know Mrs. Kitchens' husband and lie ls perfectly able to pay any expense his wife might incur." A Deserved Kain. At Eastman, Ga., on Wednesday lltibert I>. Cawthorn was found guilty of murder in the first degree; on the charge of having poisoned lt. D. Tucker, some weeks ago. Tucker was a prosperous farmer and Caw thorn a farm hand ph the place. Thc evidence went tn ?mow that Cawthorn and Mrs. Tucker became infatuated witli each other, that Tucker became suspicious, and that Cawthorn admin istered poison lo Tucker in a drink of brandy for the purpose ol* getting rid of him, so that he might many Mrs. Tucker. Tucker had taken Cawthorn into his house and befriended him in a number of ways. There was also evidence to thc elTcet that a second person, of the name of Horn, had died from tlie effects of poison in brandy intended to be drunk by Tucker. Tn ii Raleigh News and Observer says: "God I Hess Sou tl) Carolina! Of all the States in the republic, it is the only one that sticks to the Hihlc cause for divorce."

A special sent from Chicago Thurs day night, which was received by Tho Charleston Evening Post Friday from : Springfield, Ohio., says"Unitcd States Senator Tillman of South Carolina is reported tobi lost somewhere between Kansas City and Clcago. He was booked for apartments at the Audi torium Hotel ano a number of persons were gathered there for a conference and anxiously awaited his coming. He is reported to have left a train, having failed to lind his transporta tion or cash, and so far as can bc learn ed hy officials ito is ata way station a wai tim; a remittance. "Senator Tillman is said to have re plied, when asked for his ticket, that his pocket had been picked and that he had nothing on Iiis person to ideu tify himself. The conductor and the trainmen telegraphed for instructions, but thc Chicago ollicials had no means or determining whether or not thc passenger was an imposter and in structed the conductor tu usc his judg ment. Tim train has since reached Chicago and the conductor has vanished!, but, Senator Tillman lias failed to appear at either tho Auditorium pr any other hotel. There is a story among Chicago railroad men Huit Hie conductor did not know Senator Tillman and that he was ejected from Hie train and is stranded. Telegrams sent aloug thc line have' failed l.o locate him. At midnight prominent railroad ollicials were sending telegrams broadcast, mailing inquires for Senator Till man." TILLMAN NOT LOST. A special dispatch from St. Louis, Mo., lo The News and Courier say: Senator Benjamin lt. Tillman, of South Carolina, remained in St. Louis Friday and while here be reported at the local offices of various railroad ?md express companies the loss of a wallet lilied with pusses, express franks and ollu-r money-savers, lt was reported that Hie Senator liad been robbed on a. train, but lie denied the story at the Southern Hotel. "They fell out of my pucket," he said,"and I did not notice it at Hie time. They were not taken by a pickpocket that I know. One or the passes I lost was over tho Burlington Railroad and 1 guess 1 dropped it at Kansas City, lt was in a pucketbook that had a lot of express company franks ?ind telegraph franks and other railroad passes, and all that kind of stuir. But I had not used thc Burlington pass." Senator Tillman was asked if it was not unusual fdr him to accept such favors from corporations and. he re plied: "How can 1 help accepting Hiern; they stick them at me and stick at mc until 1 just have to take them. They don't ihiiuchec my vote, lt is different down in our country from what it is up herc. You haven't heard of anybody being bought with thousand dollar bills down our way, hava you? It's thc custom for all pub lic men to accept passes and most of us are slaves to custom." Senator Tillman left Friday night to resume a lecturing tour, accompanied by Sena tor Bruton, of Kansas. COST OF THE FLOODS. Tho Total Cost Estimated at $10, 000,000 for (lie West. Alone. The damages from Hie Western Hoods were greater than lirst reported, says Thc New Orleans Times-Demo crat. In'summing up the totals some time ago, Hie ligures were placed at $20,000,000, Hie greater part of which occurred in Hie larger towns, particu larly Kansas City and Topeka. We were told that thc railroad losses are small, much smaller, than originally estimated. "lt seems, however, that these estimates were only of thc damage done to thc railroads in Hie towns, where their depots were Hooded and their tracks badly washed, and did not take into account Hie railroad in jury in the rural districts. Thc rail road companies at their central offices, most of which are located in New York, have been figuring on their losses. This is easily done, because the railroad auditors have Hie bills before them to be paid, and can ligure out Hie cost to a cent. They have not done so as yet for all Hie lines, but such figuring as lias been done puts thc cost of the Hoods tho extra ordinary expenditures which Hie rail roads, hilve been compelled to make over and above the maintenance charges at $20,000,000 or about $2,000 per mile, for the 10,000 miles ,)f track el?ected. This is only the positive and actual damage caused and docs not include any losses sn tiered through the interruption ol' traille or Hie pros pective losses likely to result from a reduced grain tonnage-two items it would lie very ditllcult to calculate with any degree of accuracy. As thc farm and town damage, independent of thc losses to Hie railroads, was put conservatively at 820,000,000, this would make Hie total cost of the Hood i 10,000,000 for Hie West alone- thc country above Cairo; Hie losses along the lower Mississippi being much less. Thc damage will be a strong argu ment lu favor of snell Improvements by Hie Federal government as will prevent similar disasters in Hie future; for Hie total of losses is greater than it would cost to give Hie people of the lowlands complete protection from freshets and ovcrllows.

In discussing the value of the negro vote in those State he said: "You would be surprised bo know that there is likelihood of the negro vote in Indiana and Illinois, which has been assured to the Republicans by President Rjosevelt's course, being olfseb by bhe loss of white Republican votes. That ls, however, a facb, aris ing oub of bbc existing race prejudice in thone States. "No one can have failed to observe the state of public sentiment against thc colored race in Indiana and Illi nois. It is more pronounced in Indiana but is bad enough in Illinois. I am afraid lt is growing worse every day, md no one knows where it will stop. "Now we are begining to observe a sentiment among the whites, on the political phase of the situation, simi lar bo that of the Southerners. The Republican party is being-looked upon is the party of the negro, is being leserted by white Republicans who diarc the race prejudice. ''Th?t feeling is especially noticea ble in the small towns,and crops out in jhe municipal elections. lb is a (pics Lion how far that feeling will extend, lilt it ls growing and will have it* iveight In future elections. The Re jublican managers, i n order to recognize Lhe negro vote, place negro candidates ai the tickets for minor offices. That .esult in a hue and cry from the Democrats that it is a negro ticket, ind local pressure is brought to bear ti keep men from voting lt who are mown to entertain feeling on the race pi cst loo. "My statement may bc received vith incredulity in the North. Hut mthing Impossible In a community vhcre the race feeling ls so strong amt a caterer from a neighboring :own employed to serve a banquet, is Whiddon to bring his negro waiters in tor one night, and thc walters are lrivcn out of town with actual vio eiice."
