RECEIVER TAKES ROAD
Central Illinois and Allied Con
cerns in Court's Hands.
Express Crashed Into Freight Train.
Dwindling G. A. R. Filipinos Oppose
Sail of Island Buffalo McKlnley
Monument Slays Wife's Betrayer.
Oil Magnates Beat Inventor.
The Central Illinois Traction com
pany, the Muttoon Heat, Light and
J'owcr company and the Mattoon City
Railway company, of which Judge P.
S. Grosscup of U. S. circuit court and
his friend and protege, Marshall E.
SanipBell, are part owners and the
former a director, were placed In the
hands of a receiver ln Mattoon, 111.
This action followed closely ln tha
wake of the disaster on the line of the
Central Illinois Traction company a
week. ago Friday, when 17 lives were
crushed out and 70 persons maimed,
Boine of them for life.
While no mention of the wreck was
made ln the court proceedings, it is
udmitted that the receivership Is di
rectly duo to the catastrophe that
made damage suits amount'ng to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars against
the company a certainty. .What
chances, If any, the heirs of thoBe kill
ed and the injured have of collecting
from the road Is a matter of specula
tion ln Mattoon and vicinity.
The nominal reason assigned for
the receivership was a debt of $5,500
due the Colonial Trust and Savings
hank of Chicago by the Illinois Central
Traction company. It was alleged by
the bunk which asked for the receiver
that the company was unable to either
niei this obligation or pay Us cur
rent expenses, and therefore a receiv
er should be named by the court. It
was further represented that the two
other concerns were really a part ot
the traction company, and on this ac
count the receivership should em
brace all three companies.
Express Crashed Into Freight Train.
Twelve persons were killed and
12 others badly Iniured In the wreck
of a fast express train on the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific rail
road at Norris, la., on Friday. The
express train, northbound, jumped the
track while coltiK at full speed and
crashed Into a freight train standing
on the siding. '
Al of the dead and injured were in
the smoking car which was Immedi
ately behind the baggage and mall
cars. The smoking car was demol
ished. The northbound express was
10 minutes late at Norris, where the
freight train was awaiting. The ex
press came along at terrific speed ln
nn effort to make up time. Just as
the locomotive of the passenger train
was about to pass the freight locomo
tive the trucks of the former left the
track and the moving engine crashed
Into the engine of the freight, wreck
ing both locomotives and telescoping
the baggage and the mall cars and de
molishing the smoking car.
The passengers in the two rear
coaches following the smoking car es
caped with a violent shaking up.
Thinning Ranks of G. A. R.
The Grand Army of the Republic is
holding its 41st national encampment
this week at Saratoga. Fifty thousand
visitors are expected. This may be the
last encampmentheldolsewhere than In
Washington. D. C. At the business
session of the organization a resolu
tion will probably be Introduced fixing
that place as the permanent meeting
place of the organization hereafter.
It Is also probable that within a few
years the annual encampment will be
come only a meeting of delegates, for
the veterans, It was said by Grand
Army officials, are becoming too feeble
to attend these meetings In a body
and to take part in the annual parade.
Statistics made public Monday give
the membership of the National Grand
Army of the Republic at 202,000. The
organization loses annually three per
cent. As the average age of the mem
bers is CO years, the organization will
exist, it Is estimated, for 25 years
more.

That it is the intention of the
judges in New York city ln whose

BRITT IS OUTCLASSED
His Defeat by Gans Hastened
by a Broken Wrist.
Short Fight Was a Slugging Match
but It Was Evident That Britt Had
No Chance to Win From the Negro.
His Lack of Coolness Partly Respon
sible For Miserable Ending of Fight.
San Francisco, Sept. 10. A left
swing to the body, cleverly blocked by
Joe Gans. cost Jimmy Britt any
chance he might have had to win the
lightweight championship of the
world and brought to a close five
rounds of fast fighting before 14,000
persons at the Recreation park.
The deciding blow was caught by
Gans on the elbow ln the middle of the
fourth round. It broke Britt's wrist.
and, though the Californian went on
fighting in the fifth round, he was
helpless iu both ofTense and defense.
It was not until this round that he In
formed his seconds of the mishap.
"What's the use of my going on?
I can't fight. I am helpless," Britt
said to "Tlv" Xreling.
Cantaln of Police Gleason was In
formed at the ringside and he stopped
the fight. Referee Welch then gave
the decision to Gans. Three doctors,
after an examination, announced that'
the Injury was a fracture and disloca
tion of the lower end of the ulna.
Whether it was a genuine fracture or
not, Britt showed such intense suffer
ing while the doctors were manipulat
ing his wrist that the tears rouea
down his cheeks.
"I was utterly helpless," he said.
"i eraild not even hold un my left
hand after I broke It. I had to guard
for Gans' left and had no punch ex
cept with my right.
Th flffht while it lasted was a slug
ging match, but it .was evident to
very trained observer that Britt naa
nr. chance to win from the negro. For
the first time ln his life Britt was out
matched.
nritt's lack of coolness was partly
responsible for the miserable ending
of the fight. From the first tap of the
gong Britt appeared over-eager. He
was not content to take the advice
shouted to him by his seconds, to
miVs r.nnu do the leading, but he
rushed headlong into what inevitably
became a slugging match, In wnicn
the champion had by far the aavani-
age.
Tn the first round Britt drove Gans
to the ropes with a left swing on the
neck that had lots of force in it. in
the same round he also sent lefts and
rights successfully to the body and
face but took a straight left on the
nose, which made him slow down.
The second round developed a mix
up at the ropes ln which both men ex
changed vicious rights and lefts, Gans
having the advantage.
In the third Gans followed his tac
tics of crowding Britt Into a corner,
and the Californian had to keep his
hands and feet busy working his way
out. Honors were even In this round.
Gans drew first blood ln the fourth
with a swift straight left which caused
a scarlet stream to trickle from the
corner of Britt's mouth. It was Im
mediately after this that Britt put all
of his strength Into a left swing which
proved his undoing.

I hope for your election."

member of the Lincoln Party In the
state and a successful candidate
for county commissioner on the City
Party ticket:
"It Is a great satisfaction to me to
know that you were nominated, be

legislature and admired your courage
when you stood almost alone In your
fight for the right. If we had only
more of this character of manhood in
public life everywhere, how happy and
harmonious and prosperous we all
would be. Whatever efforts I can
make to secure your election (which
of course, Is a foregone conclusion) I
shall gladly make."
John H. Converse, one of the heaviest
contributors to the City Party:
"I rejoice In the action of the state
convention In naming you for state

John C. Winston, chairman of the
Committee of Seventy, which has led
the independent movement In Phila
delphia since 1900:
"I feel that your nomination was a
distinct concession on the part of the
Republican party to the Independent
sentiment of the state. I have no
doubt whatever of your triumphant
election. As a Republican, I am al
ways pleased when the party does ths
right thing."
