In trying to pull a "hobo" off
of a slowly moving freight train
at Newell's station last night
about 7 o'clock, A. W. Eatman,
an operator for the Southern Rail
road, was dragged under the train
and his right foot so badly brnis
that amputation was necessary.
Mr. Eatman says that he was
standing about80 feet from the
station when he heard some one
cursing him and looking around
discovered the hobo on the rods
under the car. The train was mov
ing very slowly and he reached
under the car . and tried to dis
lodge the man but was caught by
his left arm and slowly dragged
under the wheels. The train
moved on and the wheels of one
car passed over his foot . He was
immediately brought to the Pres
byterian Hospital in this city and
the operation was peformed. The
young man .is resting easily this
afternoon. Charlotte News of

MANAGUA ACCLAIMS MAORIZ
Police Protection Is Necessary, Howevey
tor the Prospective Successor of Zelaya.
Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 19 -Jose
Madriz, judge of the Central
American court of justice, at
Cartago, who has been put for
ward as candidate tor tne presi
dency to succeed Zelaya, received
an enthusiastic reception on his
arrival here tcday. Ine before
he reached the capital Madriz
was the object of cheering crowds
He as met by delegegations from
various departments, and acclaim
ed all along the way from Corin
to Managua.
At this place the crowds await
iog the appearance of the candi
date were the appearance of the
candidate were extraordinary.
Troops and police were out in
force for the protection of Madriz,
who proceeded on foot to a hotel
through an almost inextricable
mass of people, the soldiers and
detectives breaking a way for him
through the solid ranks, pushing
and throwing aside the frantic
people.
In front of the park there were
hostile cries against the attempt
of the soldiers to clear the street
and immediately fifty civilians,
all ofvthem residents of Leon, the
home of Madriz and the strong
hold of the Liberals who favor
his candidacy, whipped out revol
vers, brandishing them in the air.
They formed a compact masB
laround Madriz, acting as his
bodyguard and escorting him to
his quarters.
For a moment the situation
was critical. There were shouts
of ''Viva Leon ; to hell with Man
agua." No shots were fired, how
ever, and the procession went on
its way. The presidential candi
date's face was flushed and wore
a look of anxiety. He was ac
companied to the hotel by the
Mexican minister and from this
place the crowds were shut out.
Dr. Madriz arrived 'at 9 o'clock
this morning at Corinto aboard
the steamer Acapulco from Santa
Arenas, Costa Rica. He was re
ceived by commissions represent
ing Congress, the Supreme Court
and the municipalities of Leon,
Managua, Chinandega and Ma
saya. A salute of 101 guns was
fired in his honor. Soldiers lined
the piers at attention and enthu
siasm marked the greeting of the

crowds along the water front,
Dr. Madriz, though seemingly
well pleased at his welcome, made
no speech." Soon after he land
ed he said in an interview :
"I shall accept the honor which
has been offered me. I am not
the candidate of Leon, but of thr
entire renub'ic. Mv chief con-
oern will be to appease the ancient
sectionalism which has divided
certain localities."
Dr. Madriz said that he was
not certain how the revolutionists
would receive him. He had sent
a delegate to Bluefielda to confer
with the revolutionary leaders
there, but his representative had
not been permitted to land. Gen
eral Estrada sent word that if he
had come to entreat for peace it
was useless. Madriz was nope
ful, however,' that he would sue
ceed in making peace with the
revolutionists.
He . had conferred at Punta
Arenas with A dam Cardenas, the
former President of Nicaragua
and now head of the conservative
party, and a mutual promise
of co-operation had been exchang
ed. Cardenas was overthrown
from the presidency by Zelaya in
1891. Recently he was reported
as having taken the field against
his old enemy, heading an expe
dition .which was preparing in
Costa Rica for an attack upon
Nicaragua. It also was asserted
that the former President had
bound himself to support the can
didacy f General Estrada.
ur. Maariz declined to com
ment upon Zelaya's administra
tion, nor would he discuss the
question of intervention by the
United States, but he expressed
the hops that an amicably settle
ment would be reached, as he had
trust in the high sense of justice
of the American people.
The candidate was met at Chin
andega and Leon by almost as
great crowds as had gathered at
Corinto, and they shouted "Long
live the savior of Nicaragua."
There was, however, a remarkable
absence of hostile cries of Zelaya
The people of Leou were wildest
in the demonstration of friendli
ness. H'lowers were showered
upon Madriz, as though he were
a hero returning from the wars .
Cannon were fired and skyrockets
shot into the air, despite the day
light. The band played "The
Marseillaise," while many joined
in the singing of the hymn. Con.
