An artesian well-borer of AtlanU, will coma to

Formerly, Columbia had a good reputation for her

therefore, be a wise experiment to try the artesian

Ida has made remarkable progress of late. The

important position. No purer man, no more astute
UgallM* no wlter legislator than Colonel Hart
Uvea In this state.

the praise of all South Carolina by his appoint
ment of Governor Thompson to an exceedingly
important public plaf-c—assistant secretary of the

clined; Indeed the governor has Indicated to the
resident hla acceptance of the office. !n a few

quldicd (o IJeutenanMlovernor John C. Hheppard,
who was In tho city today conferring with hla
chief. It Is expected that Governor Thompson
will leave Columbia for Washington in about a
week, and will take charge of his new position on
the tenth or this month. This honor b well be
stowed. The recipient Is eminently worthy of the

intervals gave his onginoor Mr.
Bowen instruction to poll np.
Three milu south of Deltas te a
long trestle known u copper mine trestle.
Tralni going north approached this trestle on
a heavy down grade and sronnd a aharp
carve, which prevent* engineers from seeing
the trestle antil they us almost upon it.
Engineer Bowen wu moving at a lively
•peed when ho etrnek tha top of the grade
leading to th* trestle. Without taking np hte
the trestle. Joat u the engine turned
the curve the fireman, who wu on the watch-
ont, yelled:
"Quick, then’s a man and woman on the
trMtlo* ,> .
The fireman’s cry wu a startling one, and
u tne engineer threw hte eye* to tha frost ha
uw a man and woman walking acme* tba
treat]*. They war* moving In tho umo direc
tion u the train, ami were evidently ancon-
•clone of their Impending danger. They were
hand In hand, ana were In the middle of the
track. The picture unt a chill to the en
gineer’s heart, and with a hand at firm as n
rock h* grabbed hte lavar. In an instant the
nlr brakes had been applied, and tho engine
wu rattling forward nnder a reverse motion.
At tha tarn* time tha ahrill whistle lent
forth an alarm which attracted
tha attention ofth* man joat u tha angina wu
Intheactofrannlnghlm down. When tho
man tamed bis head and uw the engine It
was only a few feet away. He did not late
hte presence of mind, however,end die without
n straggle. Ho threw hte left arm around tho
lady and maa* n leap towards the side of the
trestle evidently with an Intention to lup
down Into the gorge below. But he wu too
late and Joat u ho reached tho nil the pilot of
tbo engine hit him. For au Instant he and
the lady seem to reat upon it bnt u tho en
gineer wu beginning to hope
that they would ding to tha
pilot until tha engine
tha trestle they bath flaw high Into the air and
u they went up, tha lady left tho man’agrup.
Tba lady, after whirling through tha air a
short distance, droppod back upon thatruk
and in another taatant th* haavy i
crashing the llfii from her, Tha
thrown much farther than tha woman and
landed upon tha track jost In front ofth* en
glno u It came to a atandatlll.
Th* Instant tha angina stopped tha engineer
sprang off and ran back to tba woman. A,
K mc* only wu naoauarv that nothing coaid
done for her. He then harried to the man
whom ht fonnd living, bnt unable to talk
Conductor Evans, to whom the sadden
halt and the danger whistles convoyed a
knowledge of some trouble, hnrrisd forward
as soon as h* conld leave the train and reach
ed tbo man about th* aame tlm* that hte
engln* did. The man wu breathing and wu
bearly olive and wu carefully curled Into*
car and mad* easy. The woman wu lying
under the engine and tha mntitatod body wu
picked np and placed in the car and then the
train moved on to Dallu. At Dallu the
wounded man was removed to a hotel white
the remalne of the lady were placed In th*
depot and the coroner sent for. The dead la
dy and the Injured man were
strangers to every body who looked
at them. The man conld not talk
and no paper* were fonnd In hte clothing. In
th* ladles'dreu pocket, however, wu found*
card on which w«a written W.C. Horton, J.P.,
W3 Marietta street, Atlanta, Ga.
Th* coroner reached the depot about eleven
o’clock aad organising n jury, began to hold
•n Inqneat over the remalne of th* lady, but
during tha progau of th* inquest th* man
died, and the verdict wu tha asm* In both
iare*. The dead people were not Identified
during tba day. notwithstanding the fact that
th* But Tfaneicee road te doing every thing
pocsibleto ascertain who they are. Judge
Horton says, ’ that from tha deacripton
aivtn of the pair, h* thinks
they are John Co artsy and hte brid*.
On Friday a young maa, who gams hla nun*
•» Catn.ay, entered hte office, at 833 Marietta.
Be was accompanied by n young lady of
righteen year*, and, exhibiting n marriage
licenu. asked te have th* ceremony perform
ed. The couple wu decidedly a good looking
one, and In npleaunt way Jndg*Butin mar
ried them. Title couple tallies In (very re-
•pect with th* dud people at Dallu. Th*
nsi wu not badly cut up, bnt th* woman wu
uiribly manglad. Her head wai revered en
tirely from her body. Th* bodies are still at
