The Horrible Death of a Former
Cartersville Man.
The F*lthfnlnrMi of ft Railroad President
to Hl Employee’* Widow and Chil
dren—An Imposing Burial
Ceremony.
Mr. Rufus Wells, a very few years ago,
was one of the most popular engineers
that pulled a train into Cartersville, and
it was with general regret that he threw
up his engine on the East and West to
go to Florida to take another on the
Florida Southern Railway. The details
of his horrible death, the sad ceremonies
around his now desolate, but once happy
home, and the laying away of his remains
withjimposing ceremonies, will be read by
our people with interest. Rufus was a
true man in every sense and his untimely
death is deplored by all.
A Palatka paper gives the following
details of the deplorable occurrence:
The South-bound fast mail train, which
left Palatka yesterday at 9:40 a. m.,
met with a serious accident by colliding
with the North-bound freight train of
the Florida Southern Railway, at Web
ster, Sumter county, in which Engineer
Rufus Wells, of the fast mail, lost his
life.
The circumstances of the collision are
about as follows: The freight train had
reached Webster and was side-tracking
in order to let the fast mail train pass.
Before it had succeeded in doing so, how
ever, the fast mail came up, and the air
brakes failing to work, was unable to
stop in time to avoid the collision.
The engineer and fireman of the freight
jumped in time to save their lives, also
the fireman of the fast mail; but Engi
neer Wells remained at his post, and his
lifeless body was found under his engine
after the accident, Both engines were
badly demolished, but lucky to say, no
other persons on the train were injured.
No blame can be attached to the rail
road company as it w as but one of those
unfortunate occurrences which have hap
pened with the most ably managed sys
tems. It was the failure of the air brakes
to work properly that caused the acci
dent.
Chan. H. Pratt, of the Herald, was rid
ing on the engine with Mr. Welle, but re
turned to the passenger coach about five
minutes before the accident, thus, in all
probability, saving his own life.
Engineer Billy Coldwell was at the
throttle of the 21 when she went out, but
being a Royal Arch Mason, aud wishing
to attend the meeting of that order last
night, had made an arrangement with
Engineer Wells to take his train on from
the meeting place and returned to the
city at 4:50 p. in. Mr. Coldwell feels very
much grieved at the unfortunate death
of his brother engineer and excused him
self from the lodge and its following fes
tivities, in order to spend the evening
with the family of the deceased.
Rufus Wells was born in Gilmer county,
Georgia, in 1854, and was consequently
34 years of age. He moved to Florida
in 1882, and for the past two years has
been in the employ of the Florida South
ern. His family reside on the corner of
Oak and Sixth streets. He leaves a wife
and six small children to mourn his loss.
1 he sympathy of all go out to the widow'
nnd the fatherless in this hour of their
deep affliction.
Mr. Wells was a Mason of good stand
ing and a member of Brotherhood Loco
motive Engineers. It is also reported
that there is an insurance of $5,000 on
die unfortunate man.
THE FUNERAL.
Yesterday morning the hero, who so
manfully met his death on Monday, was
laid to rest in West View Cemetery w ith
appropriate ceremonies.
Cong before the hour named for the
funeral, 10 o'clock a. m., the people be
ffan to assemble at the late residence of
Rufus H. Wells, corner Oak aud Blake
Greets, to assist in paying the last sad
fnbutes of respect to all that was mor-
Ul l °f "hat had once been a brave man.
11m remains were lying in the parlor,
iml the coffin was beautifully decorated
'Uid nearly hid from view by the flowers
Guit had been contributed. The most
Noticeable Qesignes were a wreath of
pergreens surrounding a cross of orange
dossoms, and a bank of white elder-
H 1 b v blossoms, massed, with a delicate
tracery of violets, which was very beau
tiful.

deep, and it was impossible for most of
those preseut to suppress some open
manifestation, notwithstanding that an
American appears to take pride in a
seemingly stoical indifference. That hu
man nature can feel, however, and feel
deeply was abundantly shown yesterday
morning, for tears were seen where tears
are but little wont to show themselves,
and many an individual, stern-voiced
and earnest, betrayed by the unsuppres
sable tremor in the voice that human
nature has depths which, when stirred,
overcome the sternest resolution and
the most stoical indifference. Many
there were who, while listening to the
eloquent and touching address delivered
by the pastor of the Baptist church, Rev.
John H. Johnstone, as he paid his tri
bute to the high character of the dead
hero, or to the beautiful and soul-stir
ring prajer to God, the crea
tor of heroes such as wag Rufus H.
Wells, and the appeal for comfort for the
widow and the orphans, or to the heart
rending lamentations of that wife, now
a widow, bereaved of her stay and com
fort, and those children, now orphans,
deprived of their best guide and protec
tor through life’s journey, almost broke
down, through the weight of their emo
tions. Some, w hen the invitation came
to form in line and pass around the
open coffin to view the remains, would
gladly have stepped aside if they could
have done so without making themselves
too prominent in their action, for there
is a chord in the human soul which can
bear but little rude handling, and the
evidences of the heart-breaking sorrow
of the bereaved ones elicited responsive
echoes in all hearts almost impossible to
be borne.
After the services at the house, the
procession was formed, and after the
chief mourners came the Masonic Lodge,
followed by a large concourse of friends
and sympathizers. At the grave the
services were in charge of the Masonic
body, and their beautiful and appropri
ate ceremonies were performed under
the direction of E. E. Haskell, Acting
W. M.
And thus was laid away one whose
memory Palatka will ever delight to
honor, and though we deplore the cir
cumstances of bis terrible death, we can
but feel great pride in the fact that
among our humblest, citizens there was
one in whose soul dwelt the instincts of a
hero and martyr.
The insurance upon the life of Rufus
H. Wells had been kept up punctually,
and Major Conanthas notified the widow
that the name of Rufus H. Wells shall
remain upon the pay roll of engineers of
the Florida Southern Railway Company,
and that she shall receive every month
the same sum which her husband had
received.#

Why Mlm Jones Came Home.
TheLouisvilleCourier-Journal publishes
the following card:
Millersburg, Ky., March 12.— Young
Mr. Shockley prayed for Miss Jones, as
statedjin your columns of the 10th instant,
but he used no such language as a part of
that attributed to him by your Paris cor
respondent, nor did theyounglady’s visit
to her home have the remotest connection
with that incident.
She was undergoing medical treatment
for some slight indisposition, and, as her
improvement was very slow, her uncle
suggested to her father, Rev. Sam Jones,
that perhaps it would be better to have
his family physician see and prescribe for
her. For this reason, and this alone, she
accompanied her grandmother from
Lexington to Cartersville, Ga., to re
turn as soon as her health w ill permit.
You will, I am sure, do me the kind
ness, and the parties concerned the
justice, to publish this in your
issue. Respectfully, C. Pope.

Now that numerous northern people
are coming south, prospecting for homes
or investments, we again arise to remark
that the best location in the south for
an iron or steel plant is Cartersville, Ga.
The ores and other materials are all
there or very near there; rates can be
made the same as from Birmingham or
Chattanooga; the section is remarkably
healthy, and railroad travel is cheaper
from and to Cartersville to the larger
cities on either side than from point# on
any other railroad than the Western &
Atlantic. “The little city by the Eto
wah” is not only looking up, but is show
ing very substantial evidences of thrift
and promises of future greatness. We
shall rejoice to see her achieve the promi
nence to which her merits in mineral, ag
ricultural and climatic respects entitle
her.

Friend B: —In my last I said I would
show to you some; of the advantages this
country has over your northern countrj\
Take for instance the farmer. Here he
can grow everything that you can at the
north, and in addition to that many
things that cannot be cultivated in your
section and receive just as good a price
for them, and grown on a farm that cost
16 to $lO per acre, and the farmer here
has ten months in the year to farm in
while in the north time is “short between
the frosts,’’ can’t lose a day, crops must
be in the ground the day after the frost
is out or they will be caught in a freeze
up early in the fall or late in the sum
mer.
Then the mechauic here can work right
along for the twelve months, no laying
still three to five months for cold winter,
as I have understood that in your coun
try carpenters and masons take their
vacation say from December to April,
and a very cold vacation, too, they
sometimes have.
FINE STOCK.
Fine stock are bred to advantage and
find a ready market. Our short mild
winters render it unnecessary to stable
except on very rare occasions, a shed
near the barn for a shelter is all the pro
tection needed from January to March;
after that they will take care of them
selves. How does that compare with
your taking care of stock in the north?
Within the past few years stock growing
has received a strong impetus and this
county now boasts of a large number of
fine horses and mules that w ould do no
discredit to Kentucky.
Horned cattle are a very profitable
source of revenue to our farmers as they
are disposed of at remunerative prices,
and the vast tracts of unfenced wood
land with which the comity abounds of
fers excellent pasturage for twenty times
the number that, graze them from March
to December. All the fine breeds of cattle
do well and nearly all have representa
tives in the farm yards of the county.
The Jersey especially seems to have been
most successfully bred.
MINERALS.
Unlike many sections of rich farming
lands Bartow" county is also rich in
mineral wealth. Alogside of valleys of
fertile farming lands are found parallel
ridges full to overflowing with rich ores.
These ridges contain mineral elements
necessary to a community’s prosperity,
except coal. In the past that want has
been met by recourse to the vast forests
of timber and a high grade of charcoal
iron was the result. Recently this diffi
culty has been removed by railroad con
nection with the coal fields of Alabama.
The brown hematite ores of this county
are well known and thoroughly appre
ciated in the furnaces of Chattanooga
and Birmingham to which points large
quantities are shipped.
Bartow county is one of the ten coun
ties composing what is known as the
limestone region of Northwest Geor
gia. Take tue eastern side of Bartow
county and a traveller need never be out
of sight of indications of iron ore. The
limestone or brown iron ores are those
principally found here and the beds or
deposits in which they occur are of enor
mous and unknown extent. Many of
them never have known the sound of
pick or drill.
More particularly is this true in the
northeast part of the county w here Pine
mountain rears its 2,300 feet altitude.
MANGANESE.
Next in imp ortauee to iron is found in
large quantities and the quality is ex
cellent and a large amount is shipped
annually. The great steel works of
Pennsylvania draw a large part of their
supply from this quarter. Statistics
place the Bartow mines third on the list
of the United jStates mines for quality.
The lands where these ores are found
have not yet been absorbed by great
syndicates of speculators but are held
by numerous owners who would be glad
to see their property and the resources
of the county developed. Manganese is
worth about $6 pier ton at the railroad,
t artersville is the principml shipping
point.
Silver ore is found in considerable
quantities on the eastern side of the
county, also graphite of good quality is
found in this county, and I have just
learned that graphite or black lead ore
more than two hundred feet thick has
been discovered near Gainesville, Hall
county, this state, which is the largest
deposit east of the Rocky mountains.
Ochre is frequently found in connec
tion with the brown iron ore and large
quantities are known to be in the coun-
ty, At present hut one mine is being
worked and that producing a high
grade. Baryta is plentiful and in its
purest form white as snow and free from
silica. I#ead is found in small quanti
ties at different locolitie*.
Handsome specimens of gold bearing
quartz are frequently found and some
were in the Bartow county exhibit at
Atlanta. But as this is getting quite
lengthy must close by promising to tell
you in my next something more about
northern Georgia. Will have something
to say about our fruits. Bay did you
ever see a graj>e vine ten inches in diame
ter in your northern forests? If any
one doubts any of my statements in re
gard to the wealth and resources of this
garden spot of Georgia write to G. H.
Aubrey & Cos., of Cartersville, and you
will see that much more could be said of
this section and then not half be told.

One of the most marked features of
American traveling, and especially of
traveling for pleasure, is the manner in
w"hieh people fraternize.
“Whflti I arrived at Jacksonville,” a

perience in Florida, “I was struck by the
fact that everybody but myself seemed
to meet so many friends, The Dassen

where I did seemed to meet no end of ac
quaintances, all evidently glad to
see them. But when we left the St. James
the next day I found myself wringing
the bands of people I never had seen till
we came there, and hoping I should see
them further South, just as everybody
else did. I assure you I'va more than
doubled my circle of acquaintances while
traveling in Florida, and people actu
ally woptf to bid me adieu whose names
even I did not know.*’
Will Not be Downed
The Kennesaw Gazette copies an edi
torial paragraph from the Courant-
American in regard to <% publication of
the E. T. V. &G. Ry., aud says: “We
read the above and almost trembled with
apprehension. We continued to hear so
much about the proposed magazine
‘devoted to the development of the sec
tion’ that we thought that after all ‘the
line that copies after the W. & A.’ had
finally concluded to do something to
develop Georgia. The first issue of the
monthly has appeared, however, aud we
do not find therein one single word
about the resources, industries or at
tractions of Georgia. The two outside
columns of each page are filled with
jokes and poetry which apply as well in
Oregon as in Georgia, and the two in
side columns merely show schedules. So,
as there is nothing in it which even pre
tends to rival the W. & A. publications
about the advantages of Georgia to im
migrants and capitalists, and as the W.
& A. don’t run races with imaginary
steeds, we will just roll along in our
usual channel.”
We have not received a copy of the
papier at this office, but the above con
vinces us that our statement that the
W. & A. would not be “downed,” how
ever brilliant the effort would be, was
uot far wrong. The statement of the
Gazette, however, that the W. & A. will
continue to roll along in its usual chan
nel can be taken with a few grains of
salt. That road is too original and
progressive to continue in any one chan
nel long at a time as it delights in strik
ing out in new directions and electrify
ing the public with startling displays of
enterprise. Our own town of Carters
ville, as well as the others along the line,
has cause to be grateful for manj r kind
words aud actions from the W. & A.
publications and officials, and their
efforts in this direction are fully appre
ciated.

A CRUEL CYCLONE •
Does Destructive Work in Many
Parts of Georgia.
Tke Town •( Calhoun Made a Complete
Wreck—But Little Damage Done in
Bartow County.
Last Tuesday night about 11 o’clock
a terrible wind storm prevailed. In this
city the inhabitants were rudely awaken
ed by the rattling of the windows and
the rocking of the houses, and it seemed
as if a terrible work of destruction was
imminent. The inhabitants were almost
paralyzed with alarm, and many sought
shelter in their cyclone-pits.
The storm came up from the gulf and
entered Georgia in the southwest part of
the state and then took a northeasterly
direction. It did great damage at Aus
tell, just below Atlanta, killing one negpro
man, several horses and cattle. From’
there the storm seems to have taken al
mosta due north course, laying the
trees, fences and houses down along its
track.
The tow r n of Calhoun was almost to
tally demolished. There are not half a
dozen houses in the place that have not
been damaged to some extent and every
thing is in a perfect chaos. The storm
first struck the southeastern portion of
the town and ran about two hundred
yards, and then turned north of east and
made its way through the center of the
city. The court house was badly dam
aged, the roof beinsc blown off, the gable
end blown out, the walls cracked, and
the columns in front left in a leaning po
sition. The Baptist church was demol
ished, the roof of the Methodist church
was blown off and the walls considerably
damaged. Gray’s saw mills and cotton
gins are in ruins. Mrs. S. E. Willing
ham’s residence is also in ruins; the
Smith house, next to Mrs. Willingham’s,
is badly damaged. Mrs. Dyer’s house,
and two tenant houses on the place, are
total wrecks. The roof of the depot is
gone, and the livery stable of Logan &
Jackson is badly damaged. The store
house of E. T. Gray is in ruins, and the
store house occupied by Hicks & Ingram
is a total wreck. The wagon shop
Mark Matthews and the blacksmith
shops of McGinnis and Frank Smith are
ruined. The drug store of Reeves & Ma
lone, end windows all blown out, front
blown down, and east side leaning over
the street, making the building almost
worthless. Roof of brick building of
Harrold torn off and gable end broken
in. Roof of J. B. Johnson’s house blown
off. Front end of Will Hughey’s store
blown away. Furguson’s brick store
unroofed. J. M. Neel’s store blown in
and stock badly damaged, also the stock
and house of J. M. Ballew badly dam
aged. Front end of J. M. Harland &
Co.’s store blown in and chimneys and
the roof blown down. Dwelling house of
A. M. Reeves’, unoccupied, badly dam
aged. W R Rankin’s law office and store
house of W H Block badly damaged.
Wagon shop of M E Ellis completely de
stroyed. The dwelling of Mrs Tom Fos
ter is in ruins, and all the shade trees
blown down. Frank Wyatt’s house un
roofed. Roof of Sam Pullam’s dwelling
house blown away and walls badly dam
aged. Dwelling house occupied by Mrs.
Bailey completely destroyed. Tenement
house of Mrs Pitts’ blown away. Veran
da and part of roof of F A Cautrell
blown away. Dr J H Malone’s dwelling
badly damaged. Building of N J Boaz
& Cos. demolished. Part of J A Tinsdale’s
residence blown away. Stable of B G
Boaz blown down and one or two mules
killed. There are various other out
buildings blown away and other dam
ages done. Telegraph wires blown
down, cars blown off siding on to main
line and track blocked by debris.
In Bartow county the damage was
comparatively slight. The academy at
Cassville was blown down and other
damage done around there. The barn
on the Harris place, near this city, was
unroofed and the lint room at the Par
rott gin house was blown away. Inqui
ry fails to bring to light any other se
rious damages.

It was perfectly natural that Capt.

Gentlemen—Ever since I was ten years
old I have had catarrh. I tried all kinds
of medicine and the best physicians for
the past fifteen years, but without
any benefit. A few years ago I began on
S. S. S., and after taking it for six months
I was entirely cured. My blood was thor
oughly cleansed, and I felt perfectly welL
I have not been troubled with the slight
est touch of the disease from that day to
this. Ido not exaggerate when I say
that from the age often to twenty I have
spent fully SI,OOO. I spent three months
in Philadelphia under an eminent catarrh
specialist, at a cost ofabout SI,OOO, but
got no satisfactory results from his un
questionable skill. Frequently during
those ten years I was confined to the
house for weeks. I have and shall con
tinue to recommend 8. S. 8. to hundreds
of people. I regard it as the hest “all
