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. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, Prepared by Dr. J.C. Ayer LCo., Lowell, Hue. Sold by DruggleU. gl.aligl. Worth gS a bottle. This Week’s 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. :DOCTOR iACKER’S I PURE ! PINK j PILLS.
