ATHENS BANNER -TUESDAY MORNING .SEPTEMBER l, 1891
AN AWFUL SCENE-
NO WRITTEN ACCOUNT CAN POR
TRAY THE FULL. HORRORS
OF THE TERRIBLE WRECK.
The Dead Now Numbers Twenty-Two
—The Number Injured Are Twenty-
Six—The Most Disastrous Acci
dent That Ever Occurred In
North Carolina.
A TASTE FOR BLOOD.
Charlotte, N. C.. Aug. 29.—Fearful
as were the details of 'the wreck of the
"Weetern North Carolina passenger train
at the Third creek bridge, as sent ont,
there was no exaggeration about them.
The full horrors of the accident can he
realized from no written account. It
was the meet disastrous railroad acci
dent that has ever occurred in this state.
Standing upon the bridge and looking
down upon the mass of broken cars
ninety feet below, one’s first impression
is to marvel at the fact that out of fifty
people who went down in the fearful
crash, more than half of them escaped
with their lives.
All night long corpses were being
dressed and placed in coffins, and doc
tors and nurses went sleepless, assidu
ously attending to the needs of the
wounded, who were scattered through
out the town. The stillness of the
night would bo broken at intervals by
the dead wagon rumbling over the
streets on the way to the depot with a
body for shipment. Statesville never
knew such a night. The dead were
never more tenderly cared for, or the
injured more faithfully attended. Those
who survived the wreck, and found
the hands of the Statesville people, will
always think of that town with grati
tude, for more than the people of States
ville did for them no people could do.
All the stores in the town were closed,
business was abandoned and the whole
people of the town set about caring as
goud as they oonld for the dead and the
injured. At nightfall they found that
in their care were twenty-one dead
bodies and twenty-eight wounded peo
ple. Nearly every one of the dead was
crushed in the head. The reporter drew
aside the blanket from one corpse and
started back at the sight. It was the
body of Mr. Brodie, the ’Chicago drum
mer. Death had come to him quickly,
and his features retained an expression
of horrified fright. His eyes were wide
open and Btaring, and his month was
open. Another corpse showed no out
ward signs of injury at all, while upon
still another no marks could be seen ex
cept bad bruises on the eyes. Each
corpse was dressed and placed in a neat
casket. The casket was boxed, and as
soon as instructions would be received
for the shipment of the body it would
be sent to the depot.
It now appears pretty plain that this
awful disaster was the work of tramps.
A rail had been loosened. After the
accident it was seen that the nnts had
been unscrewed and placed on a rock
near the bridge, and that the spikes had
been drawn. A short wH’e previous to
the accident two tramps had been put
off a train near the bridge. They were
troublesome fellows and the conductor
had to use force to eject them. The
belief is that these tramps took up a
rail in a spirit of revenge. They were
going in the direction of Salisbury, and
the railroad authorities are making
exery effort to catch them.
The following is a list of the dead not
mentioned heretofore:
Charles Webber, Pittsburg, Pa.
Mrs. Frank White, Memphis, Tenn.
Henry Patterson, colored.
Unknown man with ticket from
Beidsville to Corinth, Miss., and a tes
tament containing the name of A. L.
Bighaxn.
The total dead now foot np twenty-
two, and the number of injured twenty-
six. A. L. Sink and bride, of Lexing
ton, N. C., just married, are seriously
hurt. Mrs. R. C. Mobie, of Helena,
Ark.; J. T. Holler, of Catawba county;
B. M. Estes, of Memphis, and R. John
son, newsboy, are also hnrt, and their
injuries are thought to be serious.
The Troubles la Kentucky Resumed-
Georgetown, Ky., August 28.—
[Special.)—The deadly feud which was
fought on the streets of 'this city yester
day in which two men were shot to
death and one mortally wounded, seems
to have whetted the public.
Early this morning a small knot of
persons were seen t&lkin g together a
short distance from the court house.
It was an orderly mob, and it lost no
time in reaching the jail.
A short parley with the jailer and the
keys to James Dudley’s cell were ob
tained.
The miserable wretch pleaded pite
ously for bis life, but his appeals fell
upon deaf ears.
His arms were tied, a^rope placed
around his neck, and he was led to a
convenient tree, from a limb of which
his lifeless body soon dangled.
Dudly was a negro, and was em
ployed on a farm by Frank Hughes, one
of the wealthiest farmers in Kentucky.
He was jealouB of the latter, whom
he charged with intimacy with his
wife.
Goirijg to Hughes’ room on Monday
night, he demanded admittance, claim
ing his wife was within.
Hughes denied this and refused to
open the door.
Dudley then forced an entrance and
shot Hughes to death,discovering when
it was too late that his wife was not in
the room.
There is considerable bad blood from
yesterday’s feud, and the bitter feeling
may result in another lynching before
the day is over.
An effort will be made to get the
Kendalls, the slayers of Jarvis and
Montgomery,to a place of safety.
The Action of the Georgia House of
Representatives.
Atlanta, Aug. 29.—The action of the
Georgia legislature is still an absorbing
topic of conversation here. It is a sub
ject that has been treated with con
demnation everywhere. Leading edito
rials and extensive news reports in
the great dailys of the country, without
regard to party feeling or sectionalism,
have scored the so-called representatives
of the empire state for their unwar
ranted disposal of the Confederate
home bffl. The Cincinnati Gazette
speaks in ringing sentences of the hot
fire of criticism through which the
94” wiU pass, and of the absence of
any apparent reason whatever for their
refusal to give "the poverty-stricken
warriors a shelter in a state of destitu
tion. ”
The Times-Democrat of New Orleans,
in a lengthy editorial says: "We do
not wonder that the people of Georgia
are excited and disgusted at the action
of their house of representatives in re
fusing to accept for the state the Con
federate Veterans’ home, tendered it,
for they have cause indeed to be mad. ”
The article goes on to show how Louisi
ana takes care of her old soldiers, and
how easily it would be for Georgia to
do at least a third as well. A large
number of other papers north and south
speak in the same vein, and of their
utter astonishment that pur great state
would spnrn its helpless, indigent army
veteraus as it has done.
IT GROWS IN HORROR.
The Awful Wreck on the Western
North Carolina Railroad.
Statesville, N. C., Aug. 28.—(Spe
cial>.—'The railroad wreck on the Wes
tern North Carolina road grows in hor
ror as the hours pass.
Workmen are steadily engaged in
getting out the dead bodies from the
wreck, and physicians are busy giving
such medical attention to the wounded
as they need.
From the debris, over twenty-five
bodies have already been recovered
while as many more wounded passen
i gers are being cared for by the people
Among the list of killed are
Congressman W. M. West, of Salisbury
N. C., and Rev. James Davis.
Clarksville, Tenn. Mr. and Mrs. Link,
of Lexington, N. C., were going to
bridal tonr. Mr. Link is now a corpse
and bis wife is dying.
It is now believed that the wreck was
the work of tramps and the country is
being scoured in search of the villians
If caught they will probably be
burned at the stake,

THE YOUNG ROMAN’S OPINION
On the Political Situation In Ohio—The
Democrats to Win.
Steubenville, Aug. 29.—Hon. Allen
W. Thurman arrived in this city en
route to Wellsville, where he fills an
appointment made by Governor Camp
bell to speak at Columbiana County fair
as substitute for the governor during
the latter’s illness. In an interview he
expressed himself confident of _ Demo
cratic success this fall, but said it was a
little early to guess on majorities. As
to the silver question Mr. Thurman said
it would cut no figure in the canvass,
as the tariff is now and would continue
to overshadow all else, and that the
Democracy had the best of it.

Th« Density of Population.
The density of population is greatest
near sea level in that narrow strip along
the seaboard which contains our gf|:at
seaports. The density diminishes gradu

Star line, which sailed for New York.
Cotton is Being Injured.—“The re
cent rains have injured cotton very
much in this section of the state,’’ re
marked a large cotton factor yesterday
to a Banner reporter, “and unless we
have some fair weather soon the crop
around Athens is going to be materially
damaged. In several places I learn
that cotton is shedding to a large de
gree, and that the outlook is unfavora-
unless the rains cease.”

PURE
Dr. Edwin D. Newton comes forward
with a suggestion for the management
of the Confederate Veterans’ Home
which will bear close consideration
It is given in a letter addressed
to Judge W. L. Calhoun, president of
tbe Fulton County Veterans’ Associa
tion, which is published by permission
of Dr. Newton. It reads as follows:
My Dear Colonel :—
Long live Atlanta and her noble peo
ple. As nothing can be done by the
legislature for all of our heroic ex-Con
federate veterans, let tbe patriotic peo
ple throughout Georgia act at once and
come to the relief of these Confederate
veterans who are are not included in
the provisions of the State Pension act.
Those who are not “maimed,” but
whose vitai forces are nearly exhaust
ed, principally by disease from expo
sure and hardships during the war, and
who have patiently and heroically
fought the battle of life under adverse
circumstances for the past quarter of
century.
The state has provided in some de
gree for the maimed veterans and wid
ows of veterans; now let each county
take immediate action by inquiring if
there are one or more Confederate vet
erans in their midst who are willing
accept a home in tbe Confederate Vet
erans* Home in Atlanta. Should any
acccept, let a purse be raised by sub
scription sufficient in amount to furnish
an outfit for each veteran for twelve
months (clothing, bedding &o ,) and
pay his expenses in said heme for that
time. For the remaining years of his
life, dnring his occupancy of said home
let tbe superintendent, of the soldiers’
home at the commencement of each
J ear, forward to the Grand
ury for each county
estimate of expenses of said veteran
veterans and let said expenses be paid
by each county. On each Memorial
Day let every citizen of each county
make a donation to tbe general fund
the Veterans’ Home. Let the doors
the soldiers home be opened at once
and we know that Atlanta alone will
meet the small expense of the first few
months till all of the “survivors asso
ciations” in Georgiajcan be heard from
and the Home placed on a solid finan
cial foundation.
Faithfully your friend,

WHEN AND WHAT TO READ.
Children's Department.
BEFORE YOU ARE FIFTEEN.
Do you know what is a beautiful thing
to learn before you are fifteen ?
To learn lo do the little thing that no
one else likes lo do. But you ao not like
to, either. Then why should you?
You see I am takiDg it for gianted that
you are the disciple of Christ, the learner
of Christ. To His learners He said, Learn
of me. Now is your learning time; it
will be so easy never to forget what you
learn before you are fifteen. ‘ Ev« n Christ
pleased not himself,” and you learn of
Him to please not yoarself; is not that-a
good reason why yon should learn to do
those thousand tittle things nofcoiyelse
likes to do? They are the very things up
on which depend the comfort and health
and movement ot the household. In one
of the African tribes the core of the fire is
intrusted to the oldest unmarried daugh
ter.
The care of the fire is a great trust, and
who cares to take it? It is so troublesome
to remember that coal is needed, that a
damper should be closed or opened, and to
think of it the last thing at night.
“Birds of a feather flock together” or
nately expresses an ornithological fact,
but the flocking together is not because of
tbe likeness of feather, but is tbe result of
deeper and more radical characteristics, of
which the likeness of feather may be only
another result. “In tbe spring the wanton
lapwing gets himself a finer crest” because
the renewed intensity of life and joy fills
and flushes all the tissues; and the robin
puts him on a redder vest” for tbe same
reason. The vital forces thus tend to form
and fashion the outward features. A sig
nificant suggestion of this is fuund in tbe
putting on of uniform. The mere putting
on of uniform does not make men com
rades, but comradesnip calls for uniform
as one of its most appropriate outward
signs. So unfailing an index is the out
ward likeneis of form of inward fellow
ship tba*. Christ could never have drawn
the world to Him unless be had been
“found in fashion as a man.” Here is at
once an explanation of, and a reason for,
he Word becoming flesh. Having put oa
the uniform of flesh, he took up all the
dutii \ and exposed himself to all the suf
fering and dangers, of those in the flesh.
But one of tbe chief ends of tbe incarna
tion was that God thus “manifested in the
flesh” should be seen, not only of angels,
but of men, and, so, John says tbe Word
thns become flesh was “full of grace and
truth,” and they “saw His glory,
LIFE-LONG HEROISM.
GAS GIVING OUT.
Diminution of the Supply of Natural
Gas iu the Indian Field.
Indianapolis, Ang. 27.—Further dis
closures are made as to the diminution
of the supply of natural gas in the In
diana field. The present supply for In
dianapolis is obtained from an almost
completely new set of wells, and it is
necessary to open new ones frequently.
Experience has proven that the average
Kfe of a well, where drawn upon con
stantly, is about three years, -and often
ft is shorter. In the beginning tho sup
ply was obtained at a point in the field
twenty miles diet nt from Indianapolis.
Now it is necessary to bring the gas a
ithtanM of nearly forty miles, and tl
Wells are now within a few miles of the
heart of the field. The purpose in dis
closing these facts is to enforce economy
in the nse of the fnel, and to secure the
inauguration of the meter system in
stead of permitting consumers to burn
nil the gas they want for a fixed yearly
charge. There is a great waste in the
manufactories.

Seeing, however, is not wholly a matter
of the eye. It is partly a matter of the
heart. John saw infinitely more in the
Word made flesh than did Judas, nor did
he have to be so long time with Jeans be
fore be came to know him as did Philip,
The “nervous fluid” tiaversing the optic
nerve will not account for all tbe phenom
ena of seeing. The psychic fluid called
sympathy traversing the heart-strings has
much to do with it. If a man suffers the
calamity of losing a limb, be is surprised
to find that there are so many in his own
condition. They have been about him all
tbe time, but he never saw them before.
A mother who loses her first child thinks
for the moment that she is tbe only moth
er who ever lost n child; but she soon
comes to see that the .world is pretty full
cf hearts broken like her own. Soon the
desire to receive and impart sympathy
clears the vision, and draws together those
of k.ndred feeling. Not only do the pure
in heart see God, but they draw near to
Him that they may see the clearer, as John
did to Jesus. Not only do tbe pure in
heart see God, but they see more plainly
the children of God who are about them,
and draw near to them. If, therefore, we
do not see many sincere and earnest Chris
tians in tbe church, and do not find tbe
fellowship that makes it the dearest of as
sociations, tbe tault may not be in tbe
church.
to
Among the very first fruilc of tbe Spirit
Paul reckons joy and peace. Christ de
sires that our joy may be full and onr
peace permanent—a peace which no earth
ly experiences, no worldly conditions, can
give or take away. Somebody has said
that the human soul is such a wonderful
instrument, that no usage, however rough
can put it wholly out ot tune. But at
things go, if not wholly, human souls are
so sadly out of tune that the music of life
loses much of its sweetness, and in many
cases the discords predominate. When
thus out of tune no external circumstan
ces can remedy the matter—tbe world
give even less than it can take away tbe
tone and tension of the magic harp. One
of tbe most joyous, even-tempered, happi
est men we ever knew was poor and an
invalid. One of the most complaining,
snarling, storming, miserable men we ever
knew was a big, burly fellow, the richest
man in the county, and possessed of the
finest residence. The one was a praying,
singing follower of Christ, the other t
a swearing, sc >lding man of the world,
and this was the chief explanation of the
difference between them. If the spirit of
Christ is slrong enough in a man to pn -
vent his becoming rich by questionable
means, it will more than compensate him
for the lack of wealth ; if it is strong
enough to keep him from getting office by
doubtful doings, it wjll be strong enough
to make obscurity more blessed than ill-
purchased fame. The very Spirit which
prevents evil gratifications bestows greater
satisfactions. Cultivate this Spirit. It
will never withold any joy without supply
ing a higher and a fuller one.
The heroism of the battle-field may be
the heroism of but an hour or of a single
campaigu. It may be the daring impulse
of a moment of excitement, carried into
action before tbe excitement has had time
to subside. But there is heroism of a high,
er type in him whp, through a long life
time, habitually lives above some sorrow
or disability that would crush a weak soul
into the dust. This story and the accom
panying application are from the Youth’s
Companion:
Less than two years ago an English gen
tleman died who was the father of a large
family, a member of Patliament, a promi
nent county magistrate, tbe owner of large
estates, and an active, public-spirited man
in all local and national matters.
So loyal were his friends to him that
they never made public mention of the one
great misfortune of bis life- It was never
even hinted at in the newspapers. In fact,
it was only after his death that those who
had not seen him knew that it was but the
misshapen block of a mao that had lived
this active, manly life.
He was born with neither legs nor arms.
After bis death his story was told. How
be resolved when but a boy to act and live
as did other boys, without regard to his
horrible misfortune; how he persisted is
studying every book, in learning every
game, in joining in every amusement pos
sible to him with his companions. How,
to the last year of bis life, be held himself
to be as responsible as other men, and
bravely paid eveiy tithe of duty to God
and to his fellows.
Even in lesser matters in life be pressed
to the front. He was tbe most genial, w'it- ;
ty guest at tbe social dinner tobies. Strap
ped to his horse, he bunted foxes in York
shire or tigers in India, and with bis bro
thers made long journeys in other parts of
the world. Everywhere his cheerfulness
and gayety gave new life to dhller souls.
"What weight of pain he carried beneath
this courage God only knows.
Is there no lesson for us all in tbe life of
this gallant gentleman ?
Every boy or girl has some drawback,
some difficnliy to combat, or, harder still,
to bear. It may be deafness, an ugly face,
a vicions temper, deformity, or a dull
brain.
Be sure that every other human being
has his difficulty, too. Ignore your own,
forget it when you can, and above all get
above it.
* ‘Make of your petty grief a pedestal on
which to stand.”
Epictetus would have sent no words of
wisdom down through t lie ages but for bis
lame leg. John Bunyan would not have
dreamed the dream which has helped the
English-speaking world if he had not been
shut up in tbe jail. If Father Damien had
not died a leper, his life could not have
given to many a sincere heart fresh
strength and courage—Standard.

A Frightful Accident Reported From
Near Elberton.
A horrible accident is reported tc%
have occurred near Elberton yesterday
on the Georgia, Carolina and Northen
road.
A hand car was being moved along
the track near Broad river and a negro
and a white man named Eberhart.were
on it.
As it ran upon the trestle over South
Broad river, a construction train colIT-
ded with it.
The car was dashed to the ground be
low, carrying with it Mr. Eberhsrt,
while the negro escaped by jumping off
and hanging to the trestle.
Eberhart’s skull was badly fractured,
and the probabilities are that he will
not survive his injuries.
JUDuiwoto't Wheat Crap.
St. Paul, Aug. 27 Full crop reports
have been received from all parts of the
state, and show an acreage of 8,000,000,
while enough threshing has been done
to allow fair estimates of the yield. The
wheat crop in this state this season will
not be below 70,000,000 bushels, and
will probably exceed that amount. The
recent frosts, which have extended
quite generally over tho state, have not
affected the final result so far as it re
lates to the wheat crop. Tho present
conditions will also warrant the state
ment that, the farmers of Minnesota
will receive upward of $80,000,000 for
their crop products this year. The yield
last sear and 1889 was bat 42,000,000

of Athens’ most respected citizevs amid
the surroundings of his boyhood home.
Mr. W. C. Ash, brother to the de
ceased, will return to Athens to-day.
Mrs. Ash and her two little children

Why is Thib ?—The postal arrange

seem to be arranged with the special
view to retard rather than accelerate

t-ue in regard to registered mail. A letter

alive among amateurs. Ever and anon
it blazes up and results in a big game
at which excitement runs high, and
money is freely interchanged. Mr.
John Stokely’s nine, of Crawford, Ga.,
is playing teams all around that sec
tion and will soon cross bats with the
Washington boys. It will be a fine old
garne-
Standing, vfrith reluctant feet,
Where womanhood and childhood
meet.
’Tis a supreme moment! ’Tis a
critical period! No maiden should
attempt passing this boundary-line
without the aid and assurance of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorits Prescription. Its
helpfulness in tiding over the perils
incident to young womanhood, is uni
versally acknowledged! No mother
can put within tbe bands of her
daughter, anything that will prove
more valuable in meeting all hor re
quirements! Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription is made expressly for all
diseases peculiar to woman, and is the
only medicine of its kind, sold through
druggists, and guaranteed to give satis
faction in every case, or money re
funded.

street railwaysjare making excellent
schedules now and no complaint is to

from close application and too little
exercise, are especially liable to consti
pation-clogging up nature’s great
sewers—producing headache, bilious
ness, sluggish circulation and general
derangement of the vital organs. A
regular movement of the bowels is in
dispensable to perfect healh: to neglect
is to imperil! If constipated, Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets will cure you. No
interference with business. Very
modest expense. Mild in action, yet
powerful in cleansing, regulating the
stomach, liver and bowels, curing con-
stipation, headache and kindred
ailments.
King of Medicines
Scrofulous Humor—A Cure
“ Almost Miraculous.”
“ When I was 14 years of age I had a severe
attack ot rheumatism, and alter 1 recovered
had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula,
In the form of white swellings, appeared on
various parts of my body, and for 11 years I
was an invalid, being confined to my bed
years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap
peared and broke, causing me great pain and
suffering. I feared I never should get well.
« Early in 18S51 went to Chicago to visit a
sister, but was confined to my bed most of the
time I was there. In July I read a book,'
Day with a Circus,’ in which were statements
of cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I was so lm-
arassed with tbe success of this medicine that
i&KMtti to try it. To my great gratification
4toYdMs«oon decreased, and I began to feel
tetter and in a short time I was up and
out of doers. I continued to take Hood’s Sar
saparilla for about a year, when, having used
six bottles, I had become so fully released
from the disease that I went to work for the
Flint & Wailing Mfg. Co., and since then
have not lost a single day
on account of sickness. I believe the disease
is expelled from my system, I always feel well,
am in good spirits and have a good appetite.
I am now 27 years of age and can walk as well
as any one, except that one limb is a little
shorter than the other, owing to the loss ot
bone, and the sores formerly on my right leg.
To my friends my recovery seems almost
miraculous, and I think Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Is the king of medicines.” William ,
