There is also no f bt that the plank against impe- ‘Fialism will be clear and explicit. Mil- jtarism will be denounced and sym- pathy | expressed for the Boers. This muchis evident from what has al- _ ready taken place. “You have refused to vice presidency heretofore. -an,is there any truth in the rumor thata vice president will be chosen “whose views on the money question will be attractive to those who op- posed the ticket in “96? “Itis true that I have discuss the Mr. Bry- refused to replied Mr. Bryan, “and [do not care to do sonow, futher than to say that I assume that the candidate nominated for vice president will be in harmony with the platform.

No man worth to be considered for such an Office would accept a nomination upon a platform repugnant to his ere on any important issue. “In every campaign men support a ticket without approving all the plat- form unless he believes in it.

The tremendous rains of daily oc- currence for the past two weeks have swollen all streams in this part of the south, and several washouts have been reported on the different roads Camps Creek, which runs into the Ocmulgee, was over its banks and its waters had spread to all the lowlands through which it runs. About a mile and a half north of McDonough the creek comes somewhere near the Southern’s track and running along side it for some distance, finally passes away under the road by a heavy stone culvert. A cloudburst broke over t section of the coun- about 6 o'clock last night and presumably shortly after dark wash- ed out a section of the track nearly 100 feet in lengths. Into this the swiftly moving train plunged. The storm was still raging and all thecar windows were closed. The passen- gers, secure they thought, and sheltered comfortably from inclement weather, went to death without an instant’s warning. The train, consisting of car, second-class coach, coach and a Pullman knocked into kindling wood fall. The wreck caught fire a few minutes after the fall and all the coaches were burned except the Pull- man car. Every person on the train except the oc upants of the Pullman car perished in the disaster. There was no escape, as the heavy Pullman car weighted down the others, and the few alive in the sleeper were unable to render assistance to their fellow- passenge : For a brief time there was silence. Then the vccupants of the Pullman car recovered from the bewilderment and after hard work managed to get out of their car and found themselves on the track in the pouring rain. The extent of the catastrope was appar- ent. Flames were already seen com- ing from that part “of the wreckage not covered by the water. As the wreck began to go to pieces under the destructive work of both flame and flood, human bodies floated out from the mass and werecarried down stream by the swift current. storm did not abate in fury. F of lichtning added tothe steady zlow of the burning train d lit up the scene with fearful distinctness. FLAGMAN CARRIES THE NEWS Flagman Quinlan, who was one of the first to get out, at once started to the nearest telegraph station. Making his way as rapidly as possi- ble in the face of the blinding storm le stumbled into the office at Me- Donough and after telling the night operator of the wreck, fell fainting to the floor. Word was quickly sent to both Atlanta and Georgia, but no assistance was to be had except in the latter city, as the interrupted track prevented the arrival of any trains from Macon. arly the entire male population jo MeDonough went to the scene to | render assistance, but little could be done by the rescuers, as the fire kept ithem at a distance. At daylight the bodies that had floated from the rorge were gathered up. One body was found a mile from the wreck and many were seen along the banks. | A wreck train was started out from | Atlanta at midnight, but owing to {the burning wreckage nothing cc | be done until morning. \train at 6 o'clock this morning took as a baggage first-class Peper, Was by the doctors, ministers, railroad officials | Was | Pullman | the | mid | was reported two hours late on ac-| B } } weney Bate ie - than the party that fe | down.” UTL ER, MISSOU RI, Save gather up letters aud PINION.
