A CRASH ONTHECENTRAL
FATAL COLLISION ON WILLIAM
SON’S SWAMP TRESTLE.
Two Freight Trains Wrecked and Fire
man Harry Tones Instantly Killed—
Narrow Escape of the Engineer and
Crew of the Other Engine—Locomo
tives and Car# Filed in a Heap—A Dif
ference in Time Supposed to be the
Cause of the Catastrophe.
The trestle over Williamson’s swamp,
at Sun Hill, on the Central Railroad, 130
miles west of Savannah, was the scene of
a terrible disaster yesterday morning.
The trestle is about 150 ieet long, and is the
meeting point between down day freight
train No. 4. and up way freight No. 13.
The up-train had arrived' on the siding at
the eastern end of the trestle, and after
waiting for tie arrival of the down-train
finally pulled out on the main track, and
was starting to round the curve in
which the trestle is built when
the down-train dashed into sight.
It was impossible to avert a collision,
and the trains came together with a terri
ble crash. The locomotives were piled
upon each other, and with the wrecks of
cars, it seemed as if the whole forward
section of both trains had been torn up
and thrown together in a heap. The up
train was drawn by locomotive 89, J.
S. Clemence engineer, and the down-town
bv locomotive 48 in charge of Engineer
Malone. Harry Yonge was fireman on
89. As the trains canie in sight of each
other on the curve and rushed together
Yonge, it is supposed, was paral.vzcd
with fear and did not move from his
cab. When the crash came he
was thrown forward under
the wreck, where his body was found,
mangled into an almost unrecognizable
mass. The engineer and the engineer
and fireman of the other engine saw the
disaster in time and escaped.
As soon as possible a messenger was
dispatched to the nearest telegraph sta
tion, at Tennille, and word was
sent to Supt. Rogers, in this
city. A special wrecking train
was made up, and the Superintendent,
with Master of Train Service Starr, Mas
ter Machinist Arden and a wrecking
toree left for the scene of the accident
shortly after 1 o’clock. The distance of
the place from a telegraph station, the
nearest point being Tennille, five miles
this side of Sun Hill, rendered it impossi
ble to obtain any accurate information
until a late hour last night, when the
wires were cut at Sun Hill and a station
was established.
In the meantime the Atlanta express
No. 52, due in Savannah at 3:45 p. m.. had
arrived at the wreck, and the track being
obstructed the train wasdelayed until the
day express No. 51, leaving Savannah at
10 a. m.. had arrived at 5 o'clock,when the
passengers, with baggage and the mails
were transferred, and were brought back,
reaching Savannah a few minutes after
10 last uight. The body of Yonge was
picked out from under the wreck and
brought down, and will be buried to-dav.
A dispatch from the official s at the
scene stated that the cause of the acci
dent was supposed to ne a difference in
time between the crews of the two trains,
but that the actual facts could not lie ob
tained until an official investigation could
be had. Both engines, the dispatch
stated, were badly damaged, and
six or seven cars were wrecked.
A large force was at work
clearing away the wreckage, but
owing to the trestle the work was some
what retarded. Everything will be
cleared away to-day, however, and trains
will be run as usual. The place where
the collision occurred was on a
heavy grade, and the down train
was coming at full speed.
Each train was made up of about
twenty-five cars. The disaster, while it
is a serious one, was attended with less
loss of life than might have been sup
posed, occurring point where it
did.
Yonge. the unfortunate fireman, was a
son of P. R. YjMie, passenger conductor
on train 51, ana was about 25 years of age.
SAVANNAH'S FISH MARKET.
Eager Purchaser# of the Finny Tribe—
The Demand for Oyster# for the Inte
rior.
The fish stalls at the Market were
thronged last night by a crowd of pur
chasers, evidently eager to have an op
portunity to enjoy a Sunday morning
breakfast on some of the sweet specimens
of the finny tribe which sport in the
waters adjacent to the coast. Owing to
tthr Vvartir weather, However, as well as
the unusual demand during fhe~ past
week irom the interior, the supply in this
market has been limited, and yesterday
was insufficient to meet the wants of many
would-be buyers. The fish in season are
trout, mullet, sheephead, bass and drum,
of the salt water varieties, besides small
catches from the fresh water rivers and
streams. The demand for mullet has been
so great recently that the dealers are at a
loss to account for it. A few days ago a
colored man caught at the Isle of Hope,
with an ordinary small whiting hook and
line, a rock hsh weighing thirty-two
pounds. This is a salt water fish, and is
rarely heard of except near the mouth of
rivers emptying into the sounds or bays
close to the "ocean.
The price for fish in the market yester
day was from 22 to 25 cents per bunch,
the latter figures being more generally
asked and readily given.
A reporter of the Morning News was
informed by the dealers yesterday that
the demand’ for fish to meet the wants of
the visitors at the Macon fair and of res
idents as far inland as Atlanta
and Chattanooga was unprecedentedly
large, aud shows the increasing impor
tance of Savannah as a source ol fish sup
ply to the people of the interior.
The demand for oysters has rapidly in
creased, especially at interior points,
during the past week the shipments aver
aging about 400 gallons daily. The de
mand from consumers in the city has
been fair, but not of such a magnitude
that the dealers failed to furnish all that
was required.
THE WOMEN MISSIONARIES.
The Conference Concludes Its A initial
Session —Election of Officers—The Next
Conference In Columbus.
The Women's Foreign Missonary Con
ference concluded its session yesterday.
The conference met in Trinity Church in
the morning, and continued the receipt of
the'reports of the various auxiliaries, and
also the reports of officers and committees,
after which the cfficers for the ensuing
year were elected as follows:
President —Mrs. It. D. Walker, Savan
nah.
Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. J. B.
Cobb, 31 aeon.
Recording Secretary Mrs. J. C.
Vaughn. Thomasville.
Mrs. Col. Singleton, of Sylvania, was
elected among the Vice Presidents as Vice
President representing the Savannah dis
trict.
The conference then closed its session
with the usual services. The next con
ference will be held in Columbus, the
date to be determined hereafter.
31 any of the delegates left for home yes
terday and last night, but the majority
will remain until to-morrow to attend the
services at Trinity to-day. By invitation
of 11. B. Rcppard. Esq., a large number
visited in a body the Female Orphan Asy
lum last night, and were received by the
asylum management and shown through
the institution.
The conference has been throughout
most interesting in all its sessions to those
interested in missionary work. To-day
Rev. Dr. Potter, of Macon, will preach
upon a subj ct bearing upon missionary
work, and particularly that which the la
dies of the South Georgia Conference Dis
trict are seeking to promote. This even
ing he will preach a centennial sermon.
THE MILITARY CONVENTION.
The Delegates to be Granted Reduced

sation among the volunteer soldiery of
the State. The Central Railroad Com
pany will pass delegates from
all points on their line at the rate of fou 1 ’

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1884.
*HB BARK ABEL.
An Inspection by the Health Officer De
velops the Disease as Small-Pox.
On Thursday the Norwegian bark Abel,
from Rio Janeiro bound for this port, was
piloted into Tybee roads with sickness on
board. Health Officer McFarland was
notified and made an inspection of the
vessel. The Captain reported that
he left Rio on Sept. C. When
three days out one of the
crew was taken sick, and continued so
during the voyage. When 6poken by a
pilot before crossing the bar the Captain
reported sickness on board, and the pilot
refused to bring in the vessel. The Cap
tain was proceeding to Sapelo when he was
spoken by another pilot, who boarded the
vessel and piloted her into Tybee. Upon
being questioned as to the sickness on
board the Captain said he knew nothing of
its character. The Health Officer visited
the 6ick man and at once pronounced his
disease to be small-pox. The Captain
seemed surprised at the announce
meat, and inquired why the
rest of the men on board had not received
the contagion. The crew was called up,
and, upon baring their arms, every one
showed a scar caused by a former vac
cination, showing plainly why the disease
had not been contracted.’ The doctor pro
nounetd this one of the most conclusive
proofs of the surety of vaccination in pre
venting the transfer of contagion into the
system.
The diseased man is now fully recov
ered. The vessel was thoroughly in
spected, and with her officers, crew and
the pilot, was subjected to quarantine for
sanitary purposes. She will be complete
ly fumigated and sweetened and painted
before discharging her cargo, so that all
possibility of a spread of the contagion
will be removed. The crew and officers
will be revaccinated to insure their safety.

REPUBLICANS IN A WRANGLE.
The Anti-Pleasant Faction Issues an
Address—The Party at War With
Itself.
The Republican Executive Committee
of the First Congressional district, re
presenting the wing of that party oppos
ing' the Pleasant-Wilson faction, have
issued an address to the Republicans of
the district denouncing Pleasant, claim
ing to be the party nominee for Congress,
They deny that he is the Republican
nominee, and charge him with fraud,
forgery and falsehood in securing an
alleged nomination. The address gives
a brief history of the Republican discord
in the district and the committee’s efforts
to harmonize theexistingdifferences.They
state that Bullock, Tattnall and Emanuel
counties were represented on forged cre
dentials written in Col. Wilson’s i ffice,
and that Pleasant represented the latter
county on one of these forged credentials
and voted for himself, stating that he was
authorized by that county to cast the vote
for himself.
They charge him with falsehood, by
virtue of a letter in his own handwriting,
and the certificate of the Chairman of
Emanuel county that no meeting was
held in that county, and that no one was
authorized to represent it.
The committee urge their voters to vote
for Blaine and Logan, but say “in view of
the fact that Pleasant, if honestly nom
inated, would be but the candidate of a
faction, and in view of the fact
that be was personally concerned in
the vile fraud upon the party in the dis
trict, we hereby declare that he is not en
titled to the support of the honest Repub
licans of the district, and that they can
not and should not support him.”
It will be seen from this that the Re
publicans are knifing each other in this
district with a vengeance, >uid that the
breach will continue until after the elec
tion.
The King of Iloor Cloths.
The new and artistic designs brought
out this season in the patent “Linoleum”
floor cloth will, no doubt, give this popu
lar article an increased sale. It is the
only floor covering combining in the high
est degree the qualities essential to com
fort, elegance and economy. Inferior for
eign imitations, by various names, are
on the market, but the superiority of the
American make is beyond controversy.
The genuine cloth has the Walton Trade
Mark and word “Linoleum” on the back
of every square yard. All carpet dealers
keep It.
Itaruum’s Great Show Next Fall.
Mr. A. Haight, advance agent of Bar
num’s circus and menagerie, was in the
city yesterday making arrangements for
the visit of that great show in the fall of
1885. This will be the first trip of Bar
num’s circus to the South. Mr. Haight is
well known to the newspaper, railroad
and other people who have had anything
to do with shows, having been manager or
agent of nearly every circus that has ever
traveled in this part of the country. His
old friends in Savannah gave him a hearty
welcome."
The sale of furniture at No. 172 Brough
ton street attracted quite a crowd of custo
mers yesterday,and the low prices at which
the goods were offered, in connection with
the quality of same, were productive "£ a
large number of sales. As the 6tock is
limited to the goods on hand at the date
of assignment, parties wanting furniture
should call at once and secure the bar
gains offered.
We Defy Competition.
We sell the lowest and the best of goods,
and no humbug about it; don’t believe all
you read; call and satisfy yourself. We
agree in the plainest words to sell our
superior Clothing lower than anybody in
Savannah or elsewhere. The “Famous'’
confines themselves in advertising as in
their dealings, strictly to the truth, and
when we affirm anything, we do it every
time. There is not a more deceiving arti
cle cf merchandise to the general public
than clothing; very few arejudgesof it,and
the goods manufactured to sell wholesale
to the trade is trash compared with the
goods manufactured by us for our differ
ent branches. The great masses rush to
the “Famous” not for the love of its popu
lar manager and proprietors, but because
they are honestly dealt with, and to save
money. 140 Congress street.— Adv.

A RAID INTO DREAMLAND.
Some Queer Experience# that Almoit
Surpass Belief.
From the Reminiscence of an Artist.
Although I write my reminiscences by
request, and am asked to confine myself
to those especially relating to the Savan
nah of the past, I think the readers of the
Morning News of the present will
excuse an occasional aberration from the
line marked out when a subject of general
interest suggests itself. This 1 find in an
article in the issue of Sunday, Oct. 19,
1884, entitled “A Trip into the Land of
Nod,” which, though very interesting in
itself, appears to advance the idea
of dreams being the progeny of sleep,
while every-day experience teaches
us that our most vivid dreams
are almost always those that come upon
us in broad day, or at least in the twilight
of the early morning, or the still hours of
the night, when, with eyes wide open, we
look upon life as a dream that is past, or
anticipate the future and draw pictures
of what is to be from shadows on the
wall, as an artist finds grand conceptions
in the smoke stains on the ceiling or in
the gorgeous cloud piles of our western
horizon. Alas! how often do the most
rational anticipations disappoint us and
our best laid and most success-worthy
plans end in failure aud, “like the baseless
fabric of a vision, leave not a wrack be
hind!”
Before invading the realms of Dream
land with the intention of investigating
the mystery of its existence aad the true
nature of its products, I must assure the
reader that, iu attempting to account for
the physiological in dreams, 1 neither
deny the existence of a psychological
existence of which the visible body is
the dwelling-place, nor join with those
who think that “science can find no place
for the soul,” since 1 accept as perfectly
reasonable and quite tenable in argu
ment the dogma of the reunion
of the soul and body of man, when
the present state of being shall
pass away, preparatory to the appear
ance of anew heaven and a new
earth. How this was to be brought about
1 did uot pretend to imagine till when
walking in the Anatomical Museum in
Florence, Italy, I beheld the wonderful
figures in wax made by the Florentine
monk by ydhrs of labor. First, I saw the
beautiful nude figure of a man In full
health and strength; next, the same with
the skin removed, and successively the
muscular, fhe venous and the nervous
system, and after it the skeleton alone.
Except in color and in the liny appear
ance of the surface the nervous figure was
exactly as the first with the skin on it,
which will be understood when we recol
lect that the organs of sensation lie so
close together that a needle’s point only
is required to excite them painfully.
“Where then is the place for the soul?”
I asked, and the reply came at once, as if
whispered into my ear by “a still small
voice,” “Is it philosophical to deny the
existence of a form ot being because it is
not appreciable to our mortal senses?”
The nerves are hollow. Life may circu
late through them as the blood through
the veins, and if solidijied at death may
leave the man as he was in mind, soul
and body—since, “As the tree falleth so
it lieth.” Then 1 went on to follow out
the idea, on the facts furnished by galvan
ism, that when all that is destructible in
nature shall be redissolved into the origi
nal nebular form, that these indestructi
ble forms may be immersed like
wires in the laboratory in the vast
bath of the new chaos and issue
therefrom, clothed in their right minds,
and the mortal put on immortality. This
admitted as possible , there mav be in
ferred an intermediate state, invisible to
us, but more real than our own, the ten
ants of which, with powers of mind, body
and 60ul far beyond ours, may by dreams
or whispered communication warn, in
struct, rejoice or torment us. Upon this
supposition only can we account for facts
that have mystified and defeated the
wisest in all attempts to explain what
cannot be denied. Of two or three ot these
1 am myself cognizant and cannot ex
plain, while of ordinary dreams I think I
have a satisfactory explanation, and of
ordinary “ghosts” have had so many ex
periences as not to believe in them at all.
But first let me account for the ordinary
dreams that cross us in sleep or in de-
lirium. In a long course of inquiry into
the cause and cure of disease, which my
grandmother attributed to the fall ol man,
and our family physician to unripe fruit,
fevers and other things incomprehensible
to a child, I came, as I got a deeper In
sight into physics and physic, to the con
clusion that the human being in bis ani
mal nature was a combination of organs
well represented by the elements of elec
tricity in its various forms, viz.: the legs
by the electro-magnetic machine , the in
testines by the thermo-electric pile, the
body by the Leyden jar. the spine by the
heliacal coil, excited by the magnet
thought and will, the" whole kept
in "action by the nerves receiv
ing their impulse from the prime
conductor— the brain —charged with elec
tricity by the passage ol the atmospheric
air over "the pituitary membrane, the ol
factory nerves and the cribriform bones
of the head. But the map of the brain,
with its positive and negative lobes, is
also an accummulation of an almost in
finite number of sensitive molecules, on
which images formed through the agency
of the senses are more or less deeply
fixed. These, under the influence of an
exciting cause, are revived in perfect,
vague or utterly confused shape,
constituting memory, visionary or dream
forms, or the shapes present in dilirium.
The dream is more or less distinct,
as the images are mingled, while
in dilirium they are utterly broken and
distorted and present themselves as the
fragments of the kaleidoscope. Loss of
memory is the result of a faint first irn
pressio"n, or of the gradual failure of nerve
loree in particular parts of the brain—in
the inflammation thereof, or in the utter
paralysis of the same.
Now, however satisfactory this ex
planation may appear—and the teachings
of the photograph and telephone seem to
support it—there are other lacts and
appearances which cannot be explained
upon it—appearances which cannot be
denied or rejected, and are not be bs
accounted for upon any other ground
than that we are the creatures of two
worlds—the material, composed of body,
mind and spirit; and the spiritual, exist
ing in a like trinity m unity— which
we cannot realize by our mortal
senses, but the denizens of which
surround us as a crowd of witnesses and
occasionally appear to or acton us for our
good or evil. 1 am forced to believe this,
not only from the teachings of Scripture,
but from the asserted experiences of oth
ers, and from my own—in two or three
Instances— perfect knowledge of facts.
Moreover, who’ is there who, at some time,
has not felt the approach of one thought
to be far away, and of whom they had not
just then been thinking? 4
My first experience of this mystery was
very early in life. When returning at 12
o’clock from the Chatham Academy, now
Pavilion Hotel, I found the family "in con
sternation over the dead body of" a negro
boy of my own age, who had jnst died
without any apparent cause. We were in
Savannah, "and my grandmother and her
head servant, the "mother of the boy, were
cn the plantation on Port Royal island,
at least 40 miles away in a direct line.
Mv grandmother was seated in her par
lor, tranquilly knitting and reading, when
Molly burst in the room, threw herself
on the floor in an agony of grief, exclaim
ing:
“Oh! Missis. Missis, Siah dead!”
“Pshaw, Molly, the letter received yes
terday reported him perfectly well, and
as full of life and mischief as ever, and
vou cannot have heard from there since.”
“Oh, yes, maam, I has! Jim (his younger
brother) you know, born wid a caul, and
what he see always come true, and just
now he was sitting at.the back door eat
ing his dinner out ol his tin pan, when he
cry out, ‘Oh, ma; oh, mal 1 see a bright
hole open in de skv, and Broder Siah go
ing in dere,’ And Missis, I sure Siah
dead! dead! dead!”
Mv grandmother could not satisfy her
till she wrote a letter telling of this scene
and sent it off to Beaufort at once. So
that the two epistles, one from Beaufort
asking information and the other giving
the fact, crossed each other on the way and
reached their destinations both that even
ing or the next morning about the same
time. , .
The negroes had, and may still have, in
spite of enfranchisement, this supersti
tion, and 1 have heard similar stories
from others which I will not vouch for,
but the one just narrated I have often
heard referred to, and now declare to be
true of my own knowledge, as far as my
memory can be depended on.
Again during the yellow fever in Beau
fort in 1854, a mother and a daughter died
ol tbe disease. In New York at the time
was a lady of mature age, the adopted
daughter of the elder deceased. She was
no believer in spiritualism in any shape,
but on the night after the closing scene in
Carolina, she was persuaded to go to a
“seance,” but would not approach the
table around which the party was assem
bled. She was entirely unknown to the
“medium” and her friend had not men
tioned her name. While sitting apart by the
window, a rapping called tor one who
was not at the table. The “medium”
asked if there was anj one of the name
present.
“Yes,” replied a visitor. “From whom
is the message?”
“From “S. E. H.,” was the reply.
‘‘l have but one acquaintance of those
initials, and she is in South Carolina and
she is alive, or was a few days ago. Can
she be dead?”
The table rapped out loudly, “Yes.”
1 he lady was a woman of great strength
ot mind, and highly cultivated, being,
moreover, a little skeptical on the subject
of the future state as taught by the doc
tors. Although no disbeliever in Revela
tion, she therefore asked quietly for some
evidence of the authenticity of the state
ment, and to her dismay and deep grief
the guitar on the table sounued out
distinctly a very old tune which the
adopted child had first learned
from the deceased long years before.
She was so deeply startled and
affected that shs immediately
went home, not, however, before
she had promised to return next evening
at the same hour. She did so, and then
two performances were heard from the
guitar, and the death of botlynother and
daughter were announced. At that time
there were no magnetic telegraphs be
tween New York and Carolina, and if
there had been there were pieces of infor
mation communicated which could only
have been made bv the departed to the
living.
To a part only of this statement can
I testify, but the rest I have received
from the living lady herself, and if she
was not entirely trustworthy and above
the influence of superstition and jugglery,
I never met man or woman who was.
"There are more things in heaven anti earth,
Horatio, than are dreampt of in our
philosophy.”
So I believe, and do not explain what I
do not understand, especially when I en
counter things that multitudes believe
and the learned know nothing about. But
of the ghosts that appear in the dark, in
cemeteries and in out-of-the-way places,
like bedchambers and crypts, nunneries,
etc., I have seen so many of them that I
do not believe in them at all, at all, while
from other facts I am pursuaded of the
existence ot the soul in a future state, the
nature of which depends" upon the char
acter we form for ourselves here.

AMUSEMENTS.
This Week's Attractions at the Theatre.
The opening attraction of election week
at the theatre will be the rollicking ex
travaganza, “A Bunch of Keys,” on Tues
day night, followed by Ford’s Opera Com
pany in the “Orange Girl” on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday nights. The
lovers of pure, unadulterated fun and dra
matic action that never flags will find
complete satisfaction in “A Bunch of
Keys.” Miss Flora Moore, the biggest
key on the bunch and the &tar of the com
pany, is supported by a cast of artists un
equalled in the interpretation of genteel
comedy. The musical selections have
been culled from the most popular airs of
the day, and rendered by cultured vocal
ists. The scenic effects (including the
Grand View Hotel set, which is a marvel
of mechanical skill) are entirely new and
from improved designs. The company
was enthusiastically received last year,
and notwithstanding its appearance on
election night this week there is hardly
a doubt of a full house. The sale of re
served seats will begin to-morrow morn
ing.
The sals of reserved seats for “The
Orange Girl” will begin on Tuesday. The
opera introduces the mu9ic of Plan
quetts’s celebrated “Nell Gwynne.” The
charming artiste, Zelda Seguin-Wall ace,
appears in the leading role as “Nell
Gwynne, the Orange Girl,” acd inciden
tally disguised as the “Lady Faballa,” as
“Gillian,” a servant, as a gipsy, and as
an Irish cook. George Denham, who is
always well received in Savannah, will
play the part of “Beadle.” The music of
the opera is pronounced hardly as orig
inal in character as that of the “Chimes
of Normandy,” but there are many beau
tiful numbers, and several of the numbers
will doubtless be before long as popular
and well-known as are those of Plan
quette’s earlier production.
