CIUjilottb, N. G.. Aug. 49.-Fearful
as were the details of the wreck of the
Western North Carolina passenger train
at the Third creek bridge, as sent out,
there was do exaggeration alxmt them.
The full horrors of the aoeident can be
realized from no written account. It
was the most disastrons railroad acci
dent that turnover occurred in this state.
Standing npmi the bridge and looking
down npuu the mass of broken cars
ninety tost below, one’s first impression
is to marvel st the fact that out of fifty
pei.ple who went down in the fearful
crash, more than half of them escaped
with tli-ir lives
All night long corpses were being
dressed and placed in coffins, and doc
tors anil nurses went sleepless, assidu
ously attending to tile needs of the
wounded, who wen- scattered through
out the town. The stillness of the
night would tie broken at intervals by
the dead wagon rumbling over the
streets (Mi the way to the d.-j, -t with a
body for shipment. Statesville never
knew such a right The dead were
never more tonderiy cared for, or the
injured more faithfully attended. Those
who survtved the wreck, and found
the hands of the Statesville people, will
always think of that town with grati
tude, for tnoro than the peopleof States
ville did for them no people could do.
All the stores to the town were closed,
business was abandoned and the whole
people of the town set about caring as
good as they oonld for the dead and the
injured. At nightfall they found that
to their care were twenty-ono 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 oue corpse and
started buck at the sight. It was the
body of Mr. Brodie, the Chicago drum
mer. Death bad come to him quickly,
and his features retained an expression
of horrified frighL His eyes were wide
open and staring, and his mouth was
open. Another corpse showed no out
ward signs of injury at all, while njion
still another no marks could be seen ex
cept boil 1-miens no the eyes. Each
Cense wus dresmsl and placed in a neat
casket. The casket was boxed, and as
soou as instructions would lie received
for the shipment of tho body it would
be sent to Mai depot.
It now aiquars pretty plain that this
awful disaster was the work of tramps,
A rail lwd been looseiasl. After the
accident it was seen that the nuts had
1-een unscrewed and placed on a ruck
nmr the bridge, and that the -pikes had
lieen drawn. A slant while previous to
the accident two tramp* ha-1 lieen put
off a train n*ur the bridge. They were
troubl.eome fellows and tho 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
cxery effort to catch them.
Tho following is a list of the deoil not
mentioned heretofore:
Charles Webber. Pittsbnrg. Pa.
Mrs. Frank White, Memphis, Twin.
Henry Patterson, colored.
Unknown man with ticket from
Reidsville to Corinth, Miss , ami a tes
tament containing the name of A. L.
Bighorn.
The total dead now foot np twenty-
two, and the number of injured twenty-
six. A. L. Sink and briile, of Lexing
ton, N. C., just married, are serionsly
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 hurt, aud their
injuries are thought to bo serious.
3IU« Annie Gyle* Dead.
Mrs. Gyles received a telegram, on
Tuesday, that her daughter was very ill
In Gaiuesville, Ga., with typhoid fever,
and even then her life was almost
despaired of.
The grief-stricken mother left at once
for Gainesville, and arrived there only In
time to close the dying eyes of her be-
lovod and idolizedichild.
Mr. Dave Hill, uncle of Miss Gyles, re
ceived the sad news of the young lady’s
death. Friday at 1 o’clock she breath
ed her young and hopeful life away,
when there seemed so much for her to |
live for.
The comfort of a widowed and lonely
mother, the fond sister of a trusting
brother, the light aud sunshine of
a happy home—all of this she was; and
it would now seem useless to gild their
grief with empty words. Miss Gyles
had spent her life in Americas; her
friends were here; enemies she had none.
To know her was to love her. She was
a teacher in the grammar school, and
highly thought of by the school board,
associate teachers, aud her pupils. She
was a young lady of culture, and her
mind was well stored with practical and
useful knowledge.
The loving daughter, aTsfncere friend,
who with tender faithfulness discharged
the duties of life, has reached her
journey’s end.
Hleep on, sleep on, sweet mortal,
Tiiy waking eyes shall see
Beyond life’s closing portal—
Heaven's blest eternity.
MeELREE’S WINE OF CARDU1 for Weak Nerve*.
Marriage in High Life.
The ceremony which united Mr. Chas.
Wilburn of Macon in marriage to Miss
Prince of this city, was a beautiful one,
Impressively performed by the Rev.
Robert Adams, at the residence of the
bride’s father, Mr. X. G. Prince, on Col
lege street yesterday at high noon.
There was a distinguished assemblage
of society people present from Macon
and Americus, and the occasion was a
brilliant one, of which Thk Timks-Rk-
cordei: will elaborate upon in its Sun
day issue.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilburn left by the Cen
tral 2:20 train for an extended trip to Xew
York and other places of interest, after
which they will return to their home in I
Macon. Hosts of friends join congratu-1
lating this charming woman and her
most excellent husband on the happy
consummation of their fondest hopes.
May their lives be one continual llow of
bliss.
’T IS VERY STRANGE
That people will suffer from pimples and blotches when they ihlght speedily remove these
disfigurements by the use oi Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It cleanses the blood of Impurities.
‘My face, for years, was covered with
pimples and humors, for which I could And
no remedy till I began to take Ayer's Sarsa
parilla. Three bottles of this great blood
medicine effected a thorough cure, and I
confidently recommend It to all suffering
from similar troubles."-Madison 1‘arker,
Concord, Vt.
■ When I was eighteen years old I was
troubled with a bad humor. Being advised
to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, I took four bot
tles, which caused the eruptions to dry up
alul scale off, leaving my body, arms, and
legs In a clean, healthy condition. I hare
not had any symptoms of the complaint
since.”—W. It. Allan, Dennysrilte, Me.

The Wreck on the 8. A. M.
Friday .afternoon Superintendent W.
J. Matthews, Master Mechanic Argue
and Road Master Wright went down to
the wreck on the S. A. M. road. They
found eleven cars badly demolished, and
the road blocked. Passenger trains
transferred passengers, baggage, mail
aud express up to yesterday afternoon,
when tho track was cleared. Tho wreck
occurred at Dawdy & Kockbulk’s mill,
between Rhyne and Horton, in Dodge
county. Mr. Thomas, the conductor,
bad his right leg broken; the flagman
sustained a broken arm, while the fire
man had his ankle sprained, and the
engineer was badly shaken up and
bruised. The latter will soon he out
again. All arrived in the city Friday
night aud are doing well. The cause of
the .accident was by no means careless-
ness, nor does it reflect in the least upon
the management.
