TflETWtlin THIRD
VICTIM OF WRECK
DIED TIMING
Rosa Mcßride, One of the Worst
I of the Injured Died at the Good
Samaritan Hospital at 8 O'clock
This Morning. Three Others
Are Expected to Die.
Nine ot the Injured Brought Here
Will Be Discharged NThis After
noon. Only One or Two Limbs
Have Been Amputated. Thirty
in Hospital,
Charlotte News, 24th.
The twenty-third victim of the hor
rible wreck on the Seaboard Air
Line near Hamlet Sunday evening,
died at the Good Samaritan Hospital
ihis morning at 8 o'clock.
The unfortunate one was Rosa
Mcßride, a well known woman of
Hamlet. She was one of the occu
pants of the Jim Crow car which was
smashed to pieces and in which 21
were killed.
. All day yesterday the life of this
poor unfortunate was hanging by a
brittle thread, and it was expected at
ruy moment that death would relieve
Ler of her sufferings., She sustained
several fractures of the arms and
l(.gs, her right eye was entirely dis
placed and her head and body were
torn and gashed in number of places.
In fact it seems hardly possiole that
she could have survived the awful
catastrophe for any length of time.
The body has been prepared for
burial and will be slipped on the af
ternoon train to relatives in Hamlet.
Of the remaining 41 injured, now
in the Good Samaritan Hospital, Dr.
M. M. Wilder, informs The News this
clternoon that nine will be dis
charged today and will be allowed to
return to their respective homes. i.
Of the 31 that will remain in the
Good Samaritan Hospital three sus
tained injuries that will probably re
sult fatally. Two of these are very
severely wounded and little or no
hope is entertained for their recov-\
cry. Everything possible is being
'•one fer- the comfort and tliesp poor
rnfortunates, and the hospital author
ities as well as the physicians de
s( rve commendation for the great
work in their interests.
The physicians who administered
to the relief of the negroes here
were: Drs. P. M. Winchester,
B. J. Tlios. H. Wright,
C. S. McLaughlin, C. M. Strong ana
H. M. Wilder, the latter the very
efficient surgeon of the Seaboard Air
Line here.
Every one of these well known
phvsicians did valiant service yester
day and last night and their splen
did work is deserving of special
mention. The Seaboard could not
have possibly gotten together a more
efficient corps of physicians to attend
to their wounded.

CHARLOTTE LADY LANDS TURTLE
The Exciting Experience of Miss Ma
bel Trotter at Wrightsville Beach.
Special to The News.
Wilmington, July 24. —Saturday
night about 10 o'clock while Miss Ma
oel Trotler cf Charlotte and Mr. Jas. S.
Hooper were on their way from Lum
ina to the Atlantic Yacht Club, Mr.
Hooper detected some disturbance of
the sand along the beach, and remark
ed he believed it was the tracks of a
monster sea turtle, and sure enough
just before reaching the Atlantic Club,
he and .Miss Trotter discovered the
"old lady monster" of the deep peace
fully lying up on the beach. She had
just linished laying her eggs and was
placing the sand over them and pack
ing the sand down so as not to be dis
turbed by the rolling surf.
Mr. Hooper left Miss Trotter in
charge while he ran to the club for
assistance. He secured the help of
four men, and with jjoles, they man
aged after a hard struggle to turn tho
turtle over on her back, when they
then knew that she was safe from
moving. They got a strong rope and
tied her by the hind legs, and pulled
her up to the club house, and tied her
to a post.
The next morning a search was
made for the eggs and discovered 128
perfectly round white eggs, about the
size of an average hen egg. This spe
cies of turtle lays its eggs in the sand
on the beach at night, and they are
hatcliv'd out by the heat of the sun.
Hundreds of visitors to the beach ob
served this sea monster with interest
and curiosity, and there were many
pictures taken.
A turtle of this size is estimated
to be worth about $lO, as it is consid
ered quite a delicacy. It was sold to
the popular Seashore Hotel, and no
doubt many of the Charlotte folks
had the opportunity of eating turtle
steak and soup.

HICKORY,
BRYAN AMENDMENT
TREATY ADOPTED
i
Mr. Bryan s Amendment to Arbi
tration Treaty Discussed by
Council of Inter-Parliamentary
Union and Adopted. What the
Amendment Provides.
Mr. Bryan Said if the Hand of
War Could be Stayed Until
Conscience Was Awakened War
Would Become Remote* A Step
Toward Peace.
London, July 24. —Mr. Bryan's pro
posed rider to the model arbitration
treaty was discussed by the internat
ional counAH of the Inter-Parliamen
tary Union and being recast, as follows
was adopted:
"If a disagreement should arise
which is not included in those to be
submitted to arbitration the contract
ing parties shall not resort to any act
of hostilities before they separately or
jointly invite, as the case may necessi
tate, the formation of an international
commission of inquiry or mediation
of one or more friendly powers, this
requisition to take place if necessary
in accordance with article VIII of the
Hague Convention providing for the
peaceful settlement of International
conflicts."
Mr. Bryan said his amendment wqa
aimed at widening the scope of arbr*
tration so as to include the questions
of national honor, the chances being
a hundred to one that the proposed
investigation of facts would also settle
any question of national honor.
If the hand of war could be stayed
until the conscience were awakened,
wars would become more remote. The
amendment therefore was a long step
in the direction of peace.

i State of Pandemonium.
All the old beaucratic machinery of
suppression has been placed in oper
ation to prevent an explosion. Domi

lining public opinion in the foreign
countries has been emasculated or sup
pressed.
The most serious immediate prob
lem confronting the governmfent is
what to do with the members of the
outlawed parliament. Proclamations
announcing that the death sentence
will be imposed on the Emperor, Gen
eral Trepoff, M. Pobiedonostseff, who
was Procurator General of the Holy
Synod; General Orloff, the "Pacifica
tor" of the Baltic provinces, and oth
ers have been scattered over part of
Peterhoff. Territorists are said to
have succeeded in causing copies of
the sentence put on the doors of Gen
eral Orloff's and General Trepoff's
quarters.
Demonstrations Averted.
The bulk of the members of the
outlawed Douma, who held a meeting
at Viborg yesterday, and issued an
address to the people, arrived from
Viborg. A popular demonstration
was prevented but the members were
rot arrested.

HIGRWAY ROBBERY
NEAR STATESVILLE
John Feimster, a Negro, Holds Up
Mr. Cicero Fulp (at the Point of
a Pistol. Took His Money,
Watch and Coat. Was Later
Captured.
Special to The News.
Statesville, July 24. —A highway rob
bery by John Feimster, colored, caus
ed some excitement in the Loray
neighborhood Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Gicero Fulp was on his way
home from Concord church, and was
walking peacefully along the railroad
track when John Feimster met him,
and covering him with a pistol, de
manded that he give up all the money
he had. Mr. Fulp thereupon gave him
all he had, fifteen cents, but the negro
took Mr. Fulp's watch out of his pock
et and the coat he had on and passed
on. Mr. Fulp gave the alram to the
neighbors and with shot guns the sur
rounded Feimster in a swamp nearby
and captured him.
Feimster had caused considerable
uneasiness before he held up Mr. Fulp.
He went to Mr. Fulp's home and fright
ened Mars. Fulp by shooting at chick
ens and dogs. He was drunk and did
no damage to the chickens, but his
drunken condition made him the more
dangerous."
After leaving Mr. Fulp's house he
met some children in the road and
drew his gun on them. They ran. He
had shot out all his amunition and the
pistol was empty when he covered
Mr. Fulp. but Mr. Fulp didn't happen
to know it.
The Feimster negro is a bad man
and dangerous. Some time ago he
went into a fight at. Logan colored
church near Loray, and came out with
his head badly beaten. He was brought
here for treatment and finally recov
ered, though the physicians thought
then there was no hope for him. He
•afterwards got into trouble here and
it is said went to Texas. He had not
been seen in this vicinity for some
time until Sunday.
When arrested he had on his person
a razor, a pistol, a banjo, two knives, a
bottle of whiskey, two small flower
vases and a pin tray, which it is
thought he had stolen from some one's
house. Mr. Fulp recovered his fifteen
cents and knife.
John is in jail here and when court
meets next week he will probably find
a number of charges against him, all
of which will keep him on the roads
or in the penitentiary for some time.
