The mule t'ver moved and the horse ran into n, knocking him sprawling. Inei ii i ally, the mill man was thrown t c road but sustained only a few msea. 'V .

"Well, I don't believe you can match the one I had last night." he aaid. 1 iireamea J was with a fellow -who was In a weaving way and I was trying to t:et him home. He resisted and at last gut tnad and whipped out a gun about a foot long.-- To be accurate, I ran It was on North Tryon street about 50 yards from the square. I reached the corner In fine shape and feeling pretty Food, although that cuss was stumbling hiong behind, shooting at me. I knew t had a. six-shooter, and I counted lour shots. a "Juxt a I reached the square, to my horror, my legs gave out. I couldn't even stand up. Ye gods!

Well, sir, I just tumbled over on my hands and knees nnd crawled yes. sir. crawled across the square, digging ray fingers between the cricks to get a hold. I moved, on so slowly; ',' I heard that fiend behind with his gun, coming very near, emit ting yella of Joy and then, I woke up on ' my hands and knees, clawing at the wood work at the foot of my bed." The terrible disaster on the Seaboard a few daya ago seemed to have tn it no element ot humor, but after the im mediate horror had passed away, a Rock HHI doctor, who had been one ol the first to reach the scene, told of a happening- that struck him as being rather ludicrous. "1 hear yells from the direction of the clump of wood about 25 yard away from the awful soene," he aaid. "Thinking someone was In great dis tress, I made my way to the woods. There I saw .a man a big, full grown nrnn-!& tba worst state of hytericf I have ever beheld. He had on but single garment and I suppose he had been in tha Pullman. He was Jumping up and down crying and laughing. He could not understand my questions and when I tried to seise held of him, he broke from cny grasp and fled like a frightened deer farther into the woods. There waa work to do. so I did not follow him. but If I ever saw a man on the verge ot madness; it was he. St ill, : In thinking of it now, it ap pears to be the only thing In all thai scene that bad in any way an element of the ridiculous, even though the man was shattered, In nerve and knew not what he was doing."

J,: ' The tnemoriul services at Trinity Methodist church yesterday morning to Prof. JF. F. Blvlns were very im pressive. Mr, H. L, Durham sftoke for the trustees of Trinity College of the very high esteem In which he wa held. Mr. Durham's remarks were ceedlngly well given and appropriate. Dr. w. I. Crawford was lntrodurad and the audience soon realised that he was a master or ctear sneeco. ur. Crawford is professor of philosophy in Trinity College. He was In close tourh with Mr. Bivlna ami knew the Inner life of the character he portrayed, The ptitlre audlenc-e was deeply moved by the address. The following la a synop sis of what tie said: 'As 1 understand It. we are com' together to nnd, If we can, the secret of this man's nucffus, tnf real ruuflf and underlying principle of his great ness. As we view his mugnifloent work and life, we Ion that others ma:' be inspired to strive to be. in their owr. way, surh as he waa. What then wuj it that made him great? 1 should an swer It was not slmrl.v the work that he did. that made him the great work er: not what he said thnt made him the treat speaker and preacher that he was; others may have done the deede that he did, and yet they were not the same: others may have uttered the same lanjruaire that he used, and yet It was not the same. The :ower mat made his deeds effective-,, the force that made his : utterances eloquent whs the llvina- sincerity of his spirit. It wae tha Kenutneness of the spirit of the man. His inner love or riKnmess anu truth made him frank and simple, un pretentious as a ohlld, and gave him a right of way into the hearts of nil that knew him, and made him easily known of nil. 'The Inner rhnmbers of his heart of hearts were clean and pure, contained no desire dark enough to cast a shadow athwart his vision of life: but In the light of a clean life and a pure heart he looked out upon all Hfe and beinn and activity about him and sensed It In Its wholeness. This tnude him a man of a broad faith and a wide sympathy consequently he had a deep and gen uine interest in ail things human. Ir financial and business affairs he was i success, because as he looked out or the business side of life he saw it wbf genuinely worth while, ajid when th talked with huslness men Ts Interest was genuine and not assumed. Hut life to him was broader than the busi ness world. The world of learning and literature was an esaentl.tl part of hi? daily meat nnd drink. "He liked to lin ger among the masters tn'th'ought and literature, not because he was expected to know them, being- a schoolman, but because he found a frank and ireiiutnc delight In the lljrht and the life they gave him. And as In hla work so Ir, his play. When he played the boys, he did It as a boy among boys. He found genuine boy's Interest In It. While his religion was hla whole work and existence. To him. living an open, hon est, pure and useful life here, was the nnly preparation needed for a hereafter. "Death to him meant only a call to hhiher sphere and kind of work. Be yond this he never gave It a thought Nor can I think ot him otherwise than as one who. In SO years, has so well done the work axslfrned him that he has been promoted to a higher rank and a broader field." A larjre and representative audience heard the eulogies of Mr. Blvlns. MR. MALLINCKRODT AT THE Y. M. C. A. Rev. Harris Malllnckrodt. rector ol the Episcopal church, delivered a mag nificent address before a large numbet ol men at the Youns; Men's Christian Association yesterday afternoon. Rev. Mollinckrodt chose for his subject. 'The Fall Sowing." It was a rathe; pproprlate theme from the fact that the Young Men's Christian Associa tion is beirinnlnir to take un Its fall nd winter work. The speaker gave a very striking Il lustration of the autumn., how nature prepares itself for the approaching. spring. In so much as to convey to hl heart the thought that every man hould do the same in his life. .Rev. Mollinckrodt Is unquestionably l. strong speaker to men. His addresse- Iways command attention from his hearers. Mr. Geo. Newcomb rendered an ex cellent vocal solo. THE DENDRICKS REVIVAL CON TINUES. There were four full house services t the East Avenue Tabernacle yester ay. The regular service ut 11 o'clock waa well attended and Mr. Hendricks preached on David's love for God's House and save a great many reasons why we should all love the sacred place. The session met immediately ftcr the servti-e and some 20 odd con nected with the church. The. special service at 3 p. m. for men only was njoyed by a house crowded full of men. A forcible seitnon was preached on sowing and reaping. A number of men came forward at the close asking forgiveness for the past and promising better things for the future. As the men went out the children came In and the regular Sabbath school exercises were held with a house full of young people. Mr. Hendricks made a talk to the scholars at the close on the Bes" of the Bible and urged them all to "Be kind," ' "Be steadfast." "Be Holy" and "Be saved." At the 8 o'clock service at night the house was taxed beyond its capacity, and some had to be turned away. The extra chairs were all In use and all the aisles were filled with chairs. Just before the sermon a free will offering was taken up for Mr. Hen dricks.' who has labored so hard and successfully. Quite a nice sura was raised as a token of appreciation of Mr, Hendricks and his work. The ser mon was on the "Broad Road," and the speaker mentioned some of the things that help people along this road. that leads to death. Prejudice against God's plan of salvation, the' dance house, the gaming table, and the whis key bottle were among the helps men tioned. In closing Mr. Hendricks urg ed all to transfer from the broad to the narrow way. In the after-meeting nine persona made a profession of faith and a, determination to change their ways. An experience meeting closed the exercises of the day. This aftet noon at 4 o'clock there win be a meet ing for ladies only and no men will be admitted.

C, soma time ago Is locked in a celt at the police station. hd will be tried before Recorder Bhannonhousa this af ternoon for an assault. Officers Bom. merrow and Ay ers arrested him nfter quite 'a . chase through a back lot on Third street, last-nlzht. Welsh Is a great, strong muscular giant, about 25 years old. black and saucy, lie cursed jtxe trooper in me very faces of the policemen, and de clared that he would like to kill the one who had him arrested. Welsh claims to be a native of Vir trlnla, but a recent dweller In Charles ton. He has talked so much and in such a. way as to make the negroes and the officers believe that he is a bad lunKeroua character. On the way t the stHtion last night, Welsh declared: "if 1 were in heaven I would light a neirro If I took a notion." Alice Boyd, a negro woman, who live,' on Wutklns' row, was assaulted by Welsh while on her way home from work Saturday night. Karly yesterday morning he broke In her house, but found that she had fled. The police officers were notified and asked to ar rest him. Yesterday, Welsh left Watklns' row and went to West Third street, where he rented a house and stowed his be- longings. Later he sold his errects ana made ready to leave the city. But the negroes who knew hlrn had become frla-htened nnd the policemen eager men stood on guard along Watklns' row and on Third street. Messrs. Som- merow and Ayers ran upon Welsh sit ting In the front door of his cabin, and chased him through the house and across the back lot. Somrnerrow caught up with the negro Just as he was pre paring to climt- a high fen. That was ... . - . , t.i t . , . . . i , critical iTwmieni. i ne uiiii-n -wc7u "halt" nnd the negro showed tight. A pointed pistol was what made Welsh yield. Ho threw up his hands when the policeman presented his gun, but muttered threats. He had told some of the negroes that he was almost ready to leave Churlotte. Among other things he had said: I've killed two men nnd I m going to kill two women and then I'll be ready- to leave here." Welsh was profane and surly at the station. He is evidently a bad citizen. The negroes on Watklns' row held n mass meeting In the streets and thank ed the Lord that Welsh had been ar- lested when the news arrived. ,Koaillsn AT KOCIt MUX. Tk Charlotte JIIm ,Fwee.

Mr. McFadderf went to Ptnevllle yesterday, and arrested two. , men, and charged them with the deed. The circumstances of the affair are interesting. It seems from the facts tlmt have come to Char lotte, thut Police Officer Culp. of Pine vine, had gone out on the edge of town,- to arrest one Geo. Bradshaw, wanted for an affray. Culp saw his man with two others, standing near a 'well.! As he approached Hradshaw fled, go ing toward Charlotte; Culp pursued. At the very moment this race began. Mc Fadden drove up and took charge of Bradshaw's associates it was here that the Charlotte police force became in volved, McFadden, aeeing Culp chase Bradmiaw, imagined that Bradshaw had 'his money, and hurried to the tel ephone to call up the Charlotte police officers. An earnest request was sent to the police station for help. Jim Orr ran out to Tryon street and blew a blast from his whistle. Officer John son, who was taking life easy at the square, answered the distress call at a double-quick step. Chief Irwin was no tified and Sergeant Pitts became Inter ested. The thought of fucing a safe cracker, a real artist, made the hearts of the Charlotte policemen beat faster. Sergeant Pitts, the courageous, wiry Pitts, was ready for an emergency. But the officers rode all the way to Plne- vllle without meeting anything fiercer than a gentle breeze. The alarm wus falae. The men tn blue coats and brass buttons did their duty, but McFadden let his Imagination run riot. Bradshaw was captured by McFadden and Culp, and the trio loaded on c hand car and taken back to Rock Hill. But none of the men had uny of the stolen property upon them. The Char lotte officers have their doubts about the captives being the culprits wanted.
