AUIAXY , May 27. Electric cars rac
ing for a switch while running In op
posite directions at the rate of forty
tmlcs an hour cost live lives yesteiday
afternoon by a terrlllc collision In
which over forty people were Injup'd ,
Koine fatally and others seriously. The
lobby of the loi-al postotllce , Illled with
dead and woundc-d. historical women
and children looking for relatives and
friends , surgeons administering tern-
ixirary relief and ambulances racing
through the city taking the wounded
to hospitals were the early Intimations
o the accident.
Tlio scene of the disaster was a point
about two miles outof Greenb'isb , on
the line of tlio Albany & Hudson.
The point wheio the cats met on the
ilngle track was a shatp curve , and
to fast were both running and so slid-
dm was the collision that the motormen -
men never had time to put on the
brakes before south bound No. 22 had
gone almost through north bound car
'No. 17 and hung on the edge of a high
bluff with Its load of shrieking , maim-
cd humanity.
1IOTJI MOTOUMHN KttUD-
One motorman was pinioned up
Against the smashed front of t he south
bound car , with both legs severed and
killed Instantly , while the other one
lived but. a tew minutes. Fully 120
men , women and children formed a
ftrtiggling , shrieking pyramid , mixed
with blood , detached poriions of hu
man bodies and the wieckagc- . Some
of the more slightly injured of the
men extrlcat > d themselves and began
to pull peopk'outof thercarendsoftho
cars me almostevery one was taken two
out Hi ihs ! way and nearly all were
badly Injured.
The womo i and children who had
escapud injury and death were hyster-
ii MI and added their cries to the shrieks
of the dying and mutilated. Men with
broken arms and bones , dislocated
Joints and bloody heads and faces tried
to assist others who were more help
less. Help hJtd been summoned from
East Greenbusli and vicinity and in a
little time the btnised muss of human
ity , with the mutilated dead for a
jrrucsotms and silent company , were
loaded on extra cars and Uiuen to Al
bany. There ambulances and physi
cians had been summoned and the
postollicc turned into a morgue and
hospital. As tust as the physicians
< : oiild temponnlly lix up the wounded
they were taken to their homos or to
the hospitals.
KESrON.-IWI.ITY NOT I'LACKD.
With both motormen killed it is
hard to g t the real cause of the acci
dent , but It Is supposed to have been
on account of the southbound car
passing a mooting point. The cars
weigh fifteen tons each and are the
largestolectriccars built , butsofright-
lui was the crash that both cars were
torn almost 10 splinters. Both cars
were tilled with unday pleasiire-scek-
rs returning from the new recreation
grout.ds that the company has just
opened. The southbound car loft hero
;
at 4:30 : p. m. and thoai-cidentoccurrcd '
att o'clock. The cars on the line
were running atswitch headway that
is , as a car reached a siding switch lb ! i
was supposed to wait until another l
going in the opposite direction passed , j
motorin.ui of jhe south bound car
reached one of the switches , butseeing
no northbound car , derided to take
chances and go on. It was at a curve
that the car.s met.

WICHITA , Kan. , May 27. A special
to the Eagle says that Bill Campbell ,
nncgio , was lynched at Pond Creek ,
Okla. , at 10 o'clock Sat ttrday night by j
|
a mob of100 pel sons , who broke down '
the Jail , took him to the scene of his i I
crime and hanged him to a telegraph ]
pole. While on route to the place of
execution the negro sang "Nearer My
< 3od , to Thee , " and other hymns. i
The crime for which Campbell was
Jiaiiifed was the fatal shooting of Dop
ttt.y Sheilff George Smith. Tlienegio , "
It appears , was using abusive language
to several boys , when a white man in-
terferred. A low followed , the negto
pulling two pistols. Deputy Smith
tried to arrest him , when the negro
took deliberate aim and .shot him
ihroiigh the right temple. The negro
then began to Utck away , holding the
pis'oU on the crowd. He backed Into
t .0 . arms of Banker Joseph McClelland
who grabbed his arms and twisted
r them till the pistols dropped. McClel
land then dragged him to the sheriff'a
ofllce. A mob hastily formed , battered
tie : jail door down with crow-bars and
secured the prisoner. His last words
were :
"J am going homo to glory. "
At midnight Deputy Sheriff Smith
is dying. The body of the negro Is
still dangling from the telegraph pol <

{ > thiough the looks , and as he ap-
) roache.d the dam ho was lulled by the
i cUkt'ep'T ' not to approach any closer.
I he warning was not heeded , and the
ruling oarsman kept on rowing until
ij saw tlio lock was closed. He at-
iempted to turn the boat , which was
ihenab'itit Hlty feet from tne dam ,
) it turned the wrong way. A mo-
iV'iit later and the boat was In the
i.viftly moving current. Realizing

Uiole party was under it.
Nothing was seen of them by the few

Host a minute , when the boat reap
peared with one boy clinging to its

loen to come to the surface and make
I frantic effort to reach the shore by

Iwimming and who afterwards proved

COI.UMIUA , S. 0. , June 1. An un
expected phase In the McLaurln-Tlll-

Governor McSweeney aniiounei'd that
ho would not accept the resignations
of the two senators. Governor Me-
Sweeney's letter refusing to accept the
Resignations of Senators Tlllman and
McLnurln in part is :
' I respectfully ieturn your reslgna-
lions , that you may have more time
for serious consideration of the effects
upon the people of this state of this
action on your part. The commission
which you hold is the highest compli
ment and testimonial which the peo-
people of this state can pay any of Its
citizens. His possible that you have
taken this step hastily , In the heat of
debate and without due reflection of
the consequences to the people who
have so signally honored you. It was
only last year that our people had the
excitement and turmoil incident to a
campaign , and In another year we will
be In the midst of further political
strife. The people arc entitled to one
year of peace and freedom from politi
cal battles and bitterness The In-
rilcations are that a campaign such as
would be precipitated by vacancies In
these two exalted positions would boa
very acrimoiious one and a personal
rather than a discussion of Issues , and
from such a canvass our people should
be spared. In fact It would bo a
calamity to the state to be torn as-
sunder by a heated canvass in this off
year in politias. There can bo no
possible good to follow It.
j
"It. . is not my purpose In thus writIng - j '
Ing to prevent the fullest and freest
MKcusslon of all public questions and
the education of the people along all
political linesOn the contrary , 1
heartily favor that and believe it can
bn best accomplished without the blt-t
terticss and the personalities which
would be Inseparable from a campaign
during the coming summer. ,
"Holding these views , and looking
to the interests of the people of this
state- their peace , prosperity and hap
piness 1 respectfully decline to ac
cept your resignations and beg to re
turn them herewith. "

they wore being guarded in the Look
out hotel. Calvin Hall was staying

pea red and pointing guns at the two
otllcers on guard commanded them to
observe silence while they secured the
live prisoners , placed ropes around
their necks and dragged them' toward
the bridge which crosses Pitt river.
They compelled the two guards to
accompany them. Frank Hall , It Is
reported , made such strong resistance
that the mob hanged him under a
small bridge crossing a deep slough
en route. The others were taken to
the main bridge and Calvin Hall , the
(
father , was hanged on one side of tlio
structure and Yantls and the other
Hall boys were hanged on the other

United Presbyterian church adopted
tiie judiciary committee's report with
rj ard to an Interpretation of article

moved to strike out the section of the
report which said the testimony does
not include such orders , held that la
bor unions should not be approved by
the cliurch. This , idea was strongly
opi.osed.
Dining the argument demands were
made that a vole oe ta\en , but the
mnderator overruled these an permit
ted a full discussion of the question.
Ucv. D. G. Campbell ol College

port by striking out the following sec
tion :
This action Is not to be construed as
to exclude trom the cliurch the mem
bership of a large number of societies
which are not bound oyuatli oralllrm-
nlIon or do not pledge to secrecy In

that lliure hi s been a constant call
for a definition. "The article" said
the doctor , "does not put such socie

Dr. J. A. McClerken of Pittsburg

Dr. J. \ValIacealsoof Pitisburg ,

object to the workingmen being kept

themselves into a union to protect
