Reports of the disastrous conse quences of the heavy rains of last Wed nesday and Thursday come from near ly all directions in this section. A man with his little eon in the wagon with him, drove into what is ordinarily an insignificant branch near Cherry ville, Gaston county, Friday, and was floated down stream with the team. The man and boy escaped with their lives, but the mule and horse which were hitched to the wagon were both drowned. branches of the tree, the water rising site side, having apparently just cross nearly to his arm-pits and his whole ed it, he proceeded at the rate of about frame benumbed with cold. Shortly ten miles an hour. The trestle is after daylight his cries attracted, per- about fifteen feet above the creek bank, sons to the bank, and finally, after long and about two hundred feet long. The hours of fearful waiting, he was rescued (water had risen to within about and brought to shore alive and well. News of the drowning of Messrs Grice and Sumner soon reached the town and during yesterday the river banks were searched as far down the stream as High Shoals, eight miles below, but up to 3 o'clock in the afternoon no traces of either body could be found. Mr Hoke, the rescued gentleman, has a number of acquaintances in this community, as had also Mr Sumner. The latter lived here for quite a length of time, a few years ago, having been connected with the Mecklenburg Spoke and Handle Factory. Sadden Death. Last Sunday, Mrs Sarah Armfield, residing near Salisbury and an aunt of Col John L Brown, of this city, went to church in the morning, feeling as well as usual, and returning before dinner time, was sitting in her room when she sneezed and immediately thereafter a gurgling sound was heard in her throat. At this moment she fell from the chair, and by the time the members of the family who were pres ent could turn and raise her up, she had breathed her last. Mrs Armfield was about sixty-six years of age to be Banged. Tbe Jury Return a Verdict of Guilty Against Lowrance The Death Sen tence is Pronounced Against Dick Smith, Colored. As stated at the close of the report of the trial of Rufe Lowrance, colored, for the murder of Dock Hunsucker, also colored, given in the Observer yesterday, the jury took the case at 6 p. m. At 2 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, not having arrived at a verdict, the officer in charge locked them in a rnnm t.r fViPmnoWea ranH ITSev waia al. .nA lowed to sleep till after daylight. Soon UJ . B" l six feet of the top. Just as the hindmost car cleared the bank and was directly over the chan nel of the creek, and before the engine had reached the opposite bank at the moment when the entire train was directly above the seething and roar ing waters, the first intimation of the approaching disaster was given. The engineer felt a sudden far, and, quick as thought, jerked open the throttle. With this the engine bounded forward, broke the coupling of the next car and in an instant had cleared the trestle. The passengers felt a sudden jar, and then came the terrible realization that they were gradually sinking. Another instant and the water burst through the windows upon them, and for a mo ment hides from sigt t the struggle BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. There was little or no crash, and the first sound which greeted the ears was that of the screams of the passengers Instinctively every man leaped f6r the windows, and one by one they began to appear upon tbe tops of the cars. The upper side of the track had given away first and hence the cars began to turn over.

Rafts, were constructed, and brave men embarked on them in the hope of passing near enough to some of the men to take them from their perilous ns in trees, clinging to bushes and floating about on logs. Several were gotten out by this means. Ropes were thrown to others, and several were rescued by men who swam horses into the stream. The rapidity with which the water surged through the bushes and trees, and the large quanti ty of timber constantly being swept down, the stream;? rendered such methods of assistance extremely peril ous, but those engaged in the work seemed to lose sight of the danger, and did not hesitate to run any risk. borne time alter dark the engine brought a boat from the Catawba river wnicn was also tne means ot saving several. Finally the last man that could be heard of was rescued about 10 o'clock, having remained in the water since four in the afternoon. As fast as the men were taken from the water, they were carried to houses in the neighborhood, where every at tention possible was given them. THE INJDRED. Nearly all those rescued were more or less injured, but none very seriously Mr Steele, of Rock Hill had a leg brok en; conductor Kline nas a severe nesn wound in the arm; William Ozment a severe gash in the head : W J Orr sevw eral severe bruises ; R Y McAden con siderably mashed and bruised in the back and sides. The others, so far as known, were only slightly bruised. THE KILLED. The only dead body thus far found is that of James F McLaughlin, of Char lotte, discovered on top ot the car crushed betveen timbers which had lodged there. He was first seen and recognized by the party from Charlotte about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. So securely was he fastened and so heavy were the timbers that it was with difficulty that the body could be res cued by the combined efforts of four or five men. His back and neck were both broken and his skull crushed. The water in the stream was rapidly falling when our latest intelligence was received, and no news has reached us of the finding of any more bodies. Con ductor Kline thinks, from an examina tion of his tickets, that no one is lost but as there were several persons return ing from the stockholders'meeting who did not have tickets, he is uncertain as to the exact number on the train. Four teen of the passengers have been seen but as there were certainly more than this on board, it is feared that seyera are lost. Communication with the other side of the stream is bad, andpos soon outBide ahd'upon the i round. To take in the situation was the work of moment. The; engine! was upright on its wheels at the foot of the em bankment, not parallel with" th track, but at right angles with it. It had made wo revolutions in its descent; The top of the cab was crushed down,, the smoke stack was gone and likewise the bell The locomotive was coyered with mud, but was standing upright uion its wheels, and was tenantless. The fireman was soon found, at a consider able distance from the track. He was was standing in the tender5 when the crash came and he, with the wood in the tender, was hurled far from the line and escaped with painful ' bruises but no serious injuries. The engin; er could hot. e found, and search for him was at once instituted. This was for some time pursued without avail, but by and by a foot was seen protruding from the earth. It was even so. He bad been lit erally and entirtly driven into the earth, head, body, arms and legs." He was dragged out with all possible speed and carried into one of the cars. The mud was removed,' as best it could be done, from his ears, eyes, nose and-mouth; he blood spurted from bis ears, he gasped three times and died. Tbe track was torn to pieces for a distance of fifty yards or more. 1 The remains of the engineer were sent to Atlanta by the first train, and the passengers were brought back to Charlotte yesterday morning, by a train which went out for that purpose late Friday night. . These accidents have created a pro bund sensation in the cityV and will n ot soonbe 'forgotten.
