THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY DECEMBER 16 188& TWELVE PAGES. 9 CRUSHED TO DEATH. It sixes v Trank Smith and Fireman Jos. Edmund* Instantly Killed-A Train Bolls Down an Em- bankraent hirty.flve Po*tHi??h-All tho Cars but four Follow tho Flight. Frank Smith, an engineer, and Joseph Ed rounds, a fireman, on a Georgia Pacific freight train, were both instantly killed Friday morning 12 miles this side of Birmingham. The accident in which these two railroad men lost their lives was one of the most terri ble ever known. It happened just before day light when a heavy piercing rain was felling, and the scene was one of the most wretch ed and heartrending * ever print cd. The train wtfa made up of twenty*four freight cars, most of them being empty, and was being drawn by engine 2s???o. 25, one of the biggest engines on the Geor gia Pacific road. The train left Atlanta for Birmingham on timo Thursday night, and with tho light load behind it tho engine was springing along at a rapid rate when tho accident occurred. Engineer Smith sat with his hand upon the lever, while his fireman kept the fire biasing, both enjoying the wild, exciting ride. About six miles this side ot Birmingham is a deep cut. Tho cut is not very long. On the east side of tho cat is a high trestle and wheU tho Georgia Pacific trains spring out of tho cut they go upon that trestle at the same speed. The trestle is short and m a second, almost, tho train crosses it and all danger is passed. Friday morning when tho train into tho cut,EngineorSmith gave a shrill whis tle, and settling himself, back looked ahead for the trestle. The train rounded a curve in the cut and only a fotf htofb revolutions of tho ponderous drive wheels were necessary to carry the train out, but as tho head light threw its first rays c bridge, Engineer Smith was amazed ing n big obstruction of some kind on tho track just at the edge ot the cut. Ho instantly re* versed his lever and called lor down brakes, but the train was moving down grade, and before the reverso motion could take eifeetthe engine hit tho obstruction and jumped clear of the track. Tho front whoels landed on the trestle and in a second they went oil*. Tfie weight of the cars behind pushed tho en gine forward until the ponderous machine was hanging in tlje air with the cow catcher poin ted to the; ground below. It remained sta tionary for a second and thou cleaving the air as it went made a wild plunge towards the ground. Tho tender held on to the engine and followed it in its wild flight and then box car after box csr dropped down nflcr them until every car except three had left tho track. The engineer and fireman saw their danger only whon it was too late to escape, and with remarkable courage faced their death. When tho engino struck tho ground each man was yet at his post. So quick had tho accident been* that they were unablo to jump. The tender dropping upon the engine,planing them in their prison, and whon box cars added their weight to the load that wan upon them, death was all that was left them, and most horrible and excruciating death it was. The wreck waa one of the most com plete ever made and when ConductorLlneberry and the train hands who escaped came out the entire country was illuminated by tho burn ing cars, but in a few seconds the fire died oat ho drenching waa tho rain. Day was just be ginning to dawn, and with heavy hearts tho conductor and train men sought the ground below to ascertain if possible tho fete of their bravo engineer and fireman. Tho engine was standing almost on the end, the cowcatcher having been buried in tho ground. The ten der had crushed the cab in and tho two men were mashed flat between tho engine and tender. Around th??so tho box cars and flats wero piled in iuoxtrlcablo confusion, and realizing that ho and his crow could do nothing, tho conductor dispatched a messenger to Birmingham for aid. Whilo the messenger was doing his mission, the conduc tor and his men found a man's right hand was protruding from between the engine and tender. The ground all about them was soft and there was great dan ger in approaching tho wreck as it was liable to sink again at any moment, llut whilo thoy stood watching it one of the men thought ho saw the protruding hand move. Tim indica ted life, and regardlass of tho danger tho con ductor approached tbo engine.??? Ho finally reached it and thou quietly placed his haud upon the protruding ono, at the same time calling the enginoer and fire man by namo. No response was received from either, but tho touch of tho hand con vinced tho conductor that nono would ever bo heard. Tho hand was cold and alreay it had grown stiff. The conductor returned to his companions, and in an old field, for it was in an old field that tho train laid, and watched the wreck until aid came from Bir mingbain. When the messenger reached Birmingham the news created quite au excitement, and a large crowd went out on tho train to the wreck. The work of- recovering tho bodies was a big task. About 10 o???clock the engineer's body was recovered. It was terribly mushed and disfigured, and was recognized more by the clothing than in any other way. Two hours more of hard work revealed the body of the fireman, and then the removal of the broken cars and disabled en gine was begun. Theplaco where the accident occurred is wild and picturesque. Tho road thors winds around tho mountain side, curving* first to tho right and then left. On one side is tho high mountain wall, while on the other side is tne deep descent to the ground below. As tho train runs out of the cut the road curves to the left, and just across tho short trestle is the perpen dicular fill on the right hand side of the road, whilo on the left is the high mountain. When the engino left tho track it went straight ahead, and did not follow tho curve. Tho fell was a fearful one. ??? v ' : ' .. The accident was caused by the heavy rains. A large stone in ontpwaHoi' the cut had been worked loose and hadron upon the track. It lodged upon the track within a few feet of the edeo of the cut gud the beginning of the trestle work, and w:hen .the engine jumped the track tbo ennincer did not have time to stop his engine before it was upon the tres tle work. The tram being on a downgrade and moving at a good speed the momentum the train had acquired at the time the engine struck the obstruction Carried It off the trestle before it could be stopped. The engino droo ped fully forty feet and was almost entirely demolished. Only about a month ago the stme engine went through a trestle not two miles away from where tne accident occurred yesterday morning. Fireman Edmunds was on the engine then but escaped with a sprained ankle. . _ , The bodies of the dead men were placed In coffins snd taken on to Birmingham where they remained until Friday when they were placed on tho train for Atlanta. Tele grams conveying the sad intelligence to their friends and families in this city were sent up Fridsy morning. The railroad officials, however, declined to give any information concerning the accident. The todies were met at the depot by Patter son & Bowden, the undertakers, and carried to their homes. Engineer Smith was a married man. He has been in Atlanta about two years. He rsmo to Atlanta from LaFayette, Indiana, and first worked on the East Tennessee road, but about eight months ago went to the Geor gia Pacific. Ilewts about 32 or 33 yaws of age, and was greatly liked by those who knew him well. He was a competent and careful engineer, am! was devoted to his wife. Hie body wet taken to his hnmeoa Jonee street, where it was watched by devoted friends last night, but this morning is wUl be shipped to bis old home in Indiana. His wife's grief was distressing. The body wna so badly mu tilated and crashed that she wu not allowed to we It. . _ Fireman Edmunds it an Atlanta boy. He was about nineteen yean of age aad Uvea on Hunter street. Mr. John Toy and Mr. Horace Owens married his sisters. Only a month ago he was injured in an acoident, and this was his third trip since recovering. About one? hour before ho was killed the second section of train 00 ran into the rear of his train, mashing up the cab, This accident, coming so soon after he re Burned worn, seemed to have quite an effect on Edmunds, and to his engineer be said: ???If I ever get back to Atlanta alive, I???ll quit this dangerous work.??? His body was terribly mutilated as well ns the engineer. His limbs were badly broken, SAVED BY GHOULS. The Strange Story of a Young Woman 1 Return to Life. Great Barrington, Hass.. December 13.???Egre- mont township Is greatly excited over fee strange report which has prevailed there for the put three days. It seems that In 1S7???J Miss Estelle Newman aged about thirty years, of an old, influential and at one time wealthy family, after long sickness with nervous spinal complaint, to all appearances died. The funeral, held at tho local Methodist church, of which she was a devoted member and the organist, was largely attended. The deceased maiden was laid out with all the fluery which wealth could bestow. A widowed mother and sister, with many friends, followed her to the little cemetery near tho outskirts ol the village, where she was laid beside her father, Herrick Newman, who had died some years before. At the time of Estelle's supposed death and burial a young medical student named Worth H. Wright was home from tho Albany Medical col lege. This Dr. Wright graduated In a year or so, and begin practicing medicine, but he was ad dicted to intemperance, and one night at Newton Conn., fell into tho hands of roughs and was mur dered. It Is now asserted lu the report which causes the excitement feat Wallace Wright,! brother of Dr. Wright, says that fee night Miss Newman was burled, in company with his brother, and two other medical students, they proceeded to the cemetery and exhumed Miss Newman???s body, filling the gravo carefully as before. The remains were placed in a sack, and with good cart convey ed to the Albany dissecting room, where, to tno horror and surprise of all, tho lady, with whom Dr. Wright had for years been well acquainted, was found to be alive, and In a brief period came out of her trance, she was insane- beforo tho trance, and so she continued. Being tenderly nuned, she so far recovered feat she was taken to some insane asylum of Schoharie county. Now York, where she is yet alive. She frequently spaaks of Dr. Wright, now deceased. The relatives of Miss Newman appear loth, to In vestigate, for what reason is unknown, unless it be tho exponso of supporting Miss Newman in her insane condition they hardly being able at this time to assume so great a responsibility. Tho informant further states that unless her relatives take action soon the authorities will be applied to for permission to open the grave, which will par tially, and if the body Is found, entirely settle the question whether Miss Newman Is allre or not. reporter visited Kgrcmont and gleaned new particulars of grave-robbing mystery. Tho case is farther than ever from solution, and tho story grows moro sensational and more improbable. Judge Rowley, selectman of Egremont and executor of Miss Es- tello Newman???s estate of 97,000, says ho first heard the. story, purporting to bo a confession of the dying U. Worth Wright, a few days ago. Wilgbtwashomoon a vacation when Miss Newman died, and with two or threo other stu dents, ho took the body of Miss Newman to West Stock bridge In a sack and conveyed It to Albany on the night train. The students prepared to dis sect tho body, when there were signs of life, and they succeeded in restoring her. After consultatlou, Miss Newman was taken to Bellevue hospital, New York, whero sho remained awhile, and subsequently taken to tho residence of an uncle of ono of the students iu ScToharlo county, New York, where she regained her reason about two years ago. When II. Worth Wright died in Connecticut she read about It, and said sho knew Wright, and from that time her memory comeback, and sho was fully restored to health, and subsequently married a young physlolnn, tho nephew of a man In whose care she had been sinco leaving the hospital. 11 isTurfecr added, the couplo are now living in New York state and proposing a visit to Miss F??? man's friends in Bcrkshlro county. BOBBERY AND ARSON. A Taylor County Sian lias IHs Residence Robbed ami then Burned. From tho Butler, Go., Herald. ???About threo weeks ago while Mr. Jerry Lewis, a peaccablo and industrious gentle- man* living near Carsonville in this county, and family were absent from home, thieves entered his residence and deprived himself, his wife and little children, or every garment of wearing apparel that could bo found in his house of any service, and many other articles, such as bedding, etc. Suspicion point ed heavily upon three negroes living in .the neighborhood as being tho guilty parties, and who immediately left tbo neighborhood after the theft had been committed. Mr. Jasper AlUson, bailiff of Carsonville district, who is a faithful and energetic officer, set to work to ovortake and capture tho guilty parties, and to recover the stolen goods if possible. In this under taking ho was successfel, and succeeded In ar resting three negroes, Bill Little. Stovo Littlo and Dah Searcy, and a portion, if not all tho articles recovered. Tpese negroes were brought to trtal, and two of them succeeded in giving bond before Justice Caldwell. About one o'clock p. m. on Sunday last a serions and sad misfortune occurred to Mr. Lewis. Whilo himself and family were again absent from home his residence was probably robbed and then fired. Everything that Mr. L. and bis family possessed was destroyed. Even the bogs (n their pen were over come by the heat of the burning building. The residence of Mr. L. was a good four-room dwelling, and he seemed to be well until the incendiary???s torch was ap- and robbed him ot all the comforts of his tome. We hope Mr. Allison will bo as sue- cessibl as heretofore in finding out the guilty parties and bringing them to punishment. Mr. Lewis deserves the sympathy of the com munity.'' _ BLAINE TO BUM.

A Terrible Slaughter Prompted by J??alou*y-A Rc- jeoud Suitor Takes Hi* Htveoce iu a Host Heartleia Kannsr-Tbe Murderer Takes Bis Own Life-Other Crimea,: Etc. Omaha, Neb., December 8.???Meagre details reached here to-day of ono of the most diabol ical wholesale butcheries ever committed in this state???the killing of five persona by one man, followed by the suicide of the murderer. The scene of the slaughter is tho town of Walworth, Custer county, a locality without telegraphic facilities, which feet accounts for the time taken for the atory to reach tho outside word. Although the crime was committed Wednesday night, the news has just reached here and eveu now tho facts are not all known. The victims of the horrible affair wero John Finley, a widower, about sixty years old; Mary Finley, his daughter, aged sixteen; Fannie Finley, Mary???s sister, aged eighteecn; John Williams, a suitor for Mary???s baud, and Charles Watkins, Fannio Finley???s lover. The perpetrator was Thomas or Timothy I???nrquin, who was a rejected suitor of ono of tho young ladies, it is not known which. .All parties were resident* of the town whero the tragedy occurred. Tho motive for this horri- blo butchery was jealouay. The two young ladies havo for some time been receiving the attention of Watkins and Williams, and it was generally supposed that thero was to be a doublo wedding - about Christmss time. Young Forquin has nl- woys been considered an exceed ingly quiet, Industrious and inoffensive young fellow, and though it wns an open secret that ho had been an admirer of ana suitor for one of tho Finley girls and had been rejected, no ono over thought that he was capable of such a crime. Ho has for some time been giving tokens of his unfriendly feelings toward tho ^ men who proved successful in winning ror of the girls, but no ono seems to have over heard nim moke an open threat. *2 On Wednesday night the two Finloy girisj in company with their lovers, (Watkins and Williams) attended a danco. Young Furquin had asked one of the girls to go with him, but she declined on the score, it is believed, of a K evious engagement. This seems to have cn the acme of his bitterness over his unre- S uited love, and to have driven im into a murderous frenzy. lie did not go to tho dance, but laid in wait for tho party, nursing his hatred nnd planning rovengo. When the party drove up to tho gate of the Finley homestead after their night of pleasure, Furquin was there with a double-barreled shotgun, loaded with ???blue whistlers.??? The party wero in a spring wagon just large enougn to comfortably carry the four. Tho jealous man was hidden. Unseen by his victims he ??? leveled his gun and fired both barrels in quick succession at them. The contents of tho gun literally rid dled the bodies of all four,killiiig them almost instantly. Hearing tho shooting, and the doath screams of His daughters, Mr. Finley ruehed from the house to his own death. Tho murderer struck tho ohlman a blow over tho head with the butt of tho gun, and repeated tbo blow until his brains wero boaten out. Tho murderer then coraplctod his horriblo work by blowing out owu brains with a revolver, Such is the story of the horriblo affair as ob tained from a number of sources and roportf, all of them in their character contradictory, but all agreeing in their general featuros. Ono report say??? that the tnurderor burned tho houso after committing tho crime, whilo another says that his body was found on tho river bank some distance from tho others, in dicoting that he had some idea of escapng from tlip slaughter, but changed his mind.!

Their gross imports aro about 810,000,000. From the United States we propose to givo them in re turn 8250,000,000. Tbo net prices of sugar are low enough now.

Cuba furnished less than half, and tho price urHJ be made in our, mar ket by tho price of sugar that pays the duty.

In tho Sandwich islands we gave the planters $3,000,000 a year, and in return ~ used a gross trade of $700,000 to $1,400,??? The planter* there planted every availa ble inch or ground on account ef the profit in the business. Uur measure proved a bounty on coolie labor. The sugar refiners are all In favor of ??co raw sugar, but they oppose this measure, which gives so much bounty to the Cuban planters and does tho United States no good.??? TAKEN OUT AND LYNCHED. Bllssonrl Desperado Dangles from a Hope's Kail. St. Lons, December 9.???Charles Stevens, a desperado known as ???Omnibus Charley,??? who killed Hubert Kratner, at Maryville, Mis* souri, December 3, was this morning taken from the jail by a mob and hanged. At two o???cloek sixty masked men went to the jail and called up Sheriff Anderson, and demanded that be deliver Stevens to them. This the sheriff refused to do. and told the crowd thsCt he would fight to the last in defense of the E ric oner. A committee of three was then sent ??consult with the sheriff, but his reply wu the seme ts before. The mob then made a rush for the door of the jail, and notwithstand ing the fact that the sheriff fired repeatedly into the crowd, dangerously wounding one man, forced an entrance, overpowered the sheriff, seized the murderer and marched him under the cover of a score of cocked revolvers to tho railroad bridge, a mile and a half away, whero they hanged him. Stevens wu par doned out of the penitentiary for a previous murder lut winter. ATTACKED BY TRAMPS. A Battle Between Train Bands and Va grants. CKAmxoooA, December 10.???The accommo dation train running between this city and Oakdale junction on the Cincinnati Southern railway wu attacked by tramps at Emory Gap lut night, and the trouble came near having a fatal termination. When the tram atopood at Emory Gap, Conductor Bob Meehan dis covered six tramps on the front of the bag gage car. He ordered them to get off the (run, whereupon they became very indignant and three of them drew their revolvers end began shooting at the train men and in the coaches. The passengers, realizing their danger, retreated under the seats. The train men returned the fire, and one of the tramps was badly injured.

Amendments to tho Tax Act Pass the Ifouso???Warm Debate. The 16th paragraph levies a tax upon liquor dealers. The finvneo committee recommend a tax of$50. Mr. Cleghorn offered an amendment ex empting wine mado from grape* grown on the manufacturer???s place from taxation, which was egroed to by aye* 8'.??, uavs 33. Mr. Bartlett favored putting tho tax at $25. He did not favor an aristocracy in whisky selling. If tho idea was to prohibit, do it di rectly. He thought it would operate injuri ously upon thoso of small means, lose revenuo to the state, and bo of no practical bonefit in stopping the drinking of liquor. Air. Lewis, of Hancock, favored the $50. "Whisky driuket* would not stop until the strong arm of the law stopped them. $50 was a small tax wheu it was considered thoy tax cd the public a thousand fold. Mr. Kobbe???Will their be any less liquor drank at $50? Mr. Lewis???Not a drop less. Mr. Brandt argued in a' calm and solf-po* leased manner that the increaso of taxes will not diminish the volume ol drinking, but would decrease the tax paid to tho stato, and take that much from tho treasury. Mr. Lewis of Hancock???Do you mean that tho venders of whisky for the sake of $25 will ovade tho law? Mr. Brandt???It will havo that offset. He favored a fair and legitimate tax. Mr. Haralson, a man vcncrablo in years ond honor*, opposed tho raising of a rovenuo from a traffic that costs tho blood and toars of women and children. Ho favored tho $50 be cause it would choke out tho filthy shops nnd called upon all lovers of humanity ond tho advancement of morality to support it. Mr. Harrison said that if the votes in & largi portion of tho stato was an indication of thi popular will, tho feto ot the traffic was settled, The people of Georgia would make a strong, and ho hoped a succesrtul effort, to forever banish intoxicating drinks from the land. Ho was not in favor of legalizing a shop to make drunkards for $25. The tax of $50 would close out the worst cltss now engaged in it, | (Mr. Brandt???Is the curse to tho land the re suit ofdrinkingor selling? Mr. Harrison???If no liquor were sold, none would be drank. | (Mr. Thomus made an earnest appeal in support of tho $50 amendment. I f it was $500 he would support it. 4 Mr. Gardner was sorry to see tho discussion on taxation drifting into tho feuatical idea of prohibition. Ho favored low rates. Mr. Harrison???Then, upon your theory, it would be better to repeal all tax laws on li quor. Mr. Gardner???Yes. Let it go free. Treat it as any other production. Make it cheapor. 1 am opposed to prohibition.* I???ohl billon is the cry ot wild fanatics who drink more li quor and would raako sneaks and hypocrites of the people. I am in favor of temperance, morality, the church ank the spread of the gospel, but opposed to prohibition. Mr. Felton said thero was but one remedy for tho terrible evil, and that was towlnoit out. (Applause). Hodge it, restrain it, by taxation, license or oa, you will, it is a nullity. The people of Georgia aro ready to wipe It out. Ho Dusted the goneral assembly would give tho privilege to overy county in the stato to wipe it out. Talk about tho-constitution- nlity of prohibitien I The ablest judges of the federal courts have decided that it is constitu tional??? Chief Justice Tanoy??? ??* [Hero Mr. Middlebrooks raised a point of order that ho was discussing prohibition and not the tax act. Tho speakor rulod that Mr. Felton was out of order.] Mr. Felton???I em in order. This houso cannot well assess the tax unless they estimato the evils of tho traffic. He favored tho ronoal of the rovenuo laws and had voted threo times to repeal them. Thero was his record ou that question. He hoped to see tho timo when there would bo no tax or grog shops because thero were no grog shops to tax. 11c was will ing to tax thorn $1,000 if it saved but ono household from ruin. Il 8???wa* naked by M better to abolish it in tho country and let it bo in tho cities where it was under ]>olice regula tions. He roplied that tho cities in such an evont would become nest eggs for tho spread ol mental and moral ruin. Mr. Brandt???Will tho high tax decrease drinking? Mr. Felton???I will answer that briefly and to tbo satisfaction of my friend. The soltoitor- f cneral of our circuit informed mo that when e entered upon the duties of his office, tho counties of Whitfield, Catoosa, Murray and Grrdon in hii circuit, all licensed the sale of liquors. They gavo him about the same amount ot criminol practico in caeh. Subse quently the counties of Catoosa, Murray and Whitfield voted out tbo traffic, entire or in S art. He gets more criminal practice In Gor- on than in the other three counties combin ed. The general assembly has tho right to tax them. The feet that you hedge the traffic In it a confession that it is evil. Mr. Middlebrooks???Are not lawyers and doctors taxed? Mr. Felton???Yes, sir, and I am opposed to it. I am opposed to taxing toy productive business. Lawyers and doctors do not ruin families, blast households and peoplo hell with millions of souls. He was asked If ho wished to stop the traffic why bo didn't make drunkenness a crime. Mr. Felton responded that ho would make it criminal to lead them astray. He would punish the accessories more than the criminal. The day was at hand when the liquor shops are doomed. Tho edict has gone forth from every woman's heart in this land???the grog shop must die. Even the little children who ould scarce lisp their father???s names were praying that the grog shop should die. God hasten the day. [Applause ] Nothing can exeeed tbo power and effect of this speech. It was a strong snd eloquent effort. The amendment ot the committee fixing the tax nt $50 was adopted by yeas 00, nays 51. ???LIZZIE, I AM GOING TO DIE!??? Deapernte Youth Allis Bfntsef In Ills Sweetheart's Presence. N???rw York.
