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, HARMONY GROVE HUSTLINGS.

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. Killed Over a Game of Card*.

In several places I learn that cotton is shedding to a large de gree, and that the outlook is unfavora- unless the rains cease.” Highest of all in-Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17,1889. Baking 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.

LANE, Editor. 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.

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. DOWN TO DEATH. in 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 bdshela. Feati^j A Great Offer! The Latest, Most NOVELS IVEN AWAY! As Supplements to the Weekly Banner. ANNOUNCEMENT.

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.
