Passenger train No. " S9 on the Sea board Air Line, which left Wilming ton Friday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock for Hamlet, in charge of Capt W. L. Beery, of this ciy, ; was in collision with a freight train, about one mile beyond .Pembroke the- - same night about 10 o'clock. The fireman on the freight train was badly injured by being pinioned under the demolished tender. None of the crew or passen gers on the Wilmington train wasin jured more than' being badly shaken up. Traffic waa ' blocked for aeveral hours and the mixed train doe here at 8:20 A. M. and the passenger train due at about noon did not arrive until the afternoon. . Mr. A. F. Pound, of Atlanta, who arrived in Fayetteville yeaterday morning; gave the Observer the fol lowing account of the wreck, which la very Interesting: "I was on the passenger train which waa proceeding to Hamlet slowly on account of a disabled engine, when one mile from Pembroke our train waa struck by an engine which was running at rull speed. This engine bad orders to meet us at the station which it had just passed and relieve our disabled engine, but for some reason ran past that station, and came on ua at a ter rific speed, demolishing our engine, the baggage and express cars. The engine waa running backwards; it waa its tender that struck our engine. The loose engine, which had evidently been reversed befpre the collision, then broke away from its demolished tender and . ran back towards Maxton. and went dead on a trestle about eight miles from where the wreck occurred. Neither the engineer, fireman or any of the passengers of our train were se riously hurt. . The fireman of the loose engine was found pinioned under the tender and waa extracted. In a dying condition. The engineer mysteriously disappeared and at 9:80 o clock this morning had not been found, it ia not. known whether he waa killed or took to the woods id fright. "The conductor of the passenger. who waa standing up. waa thrown the entire - length of the ear. landing on his back. He was badly bruised but not seriouaiy . hurt. A, rescue train reached the spot at 8:30 o'clock this morning and all the passengers were safelv conveyed to Hamlet, a - wreck ing crew being left to clear the track." Mr. Pound aays he la not personally acquainted with the . conductor, but aaya he deaervea great praise for his coolness and the kindness he display ed to those in - hia care. He aays any railroad might be proud to have auch a man in its employ. - In tranaremng the passengers the conductor lay down on the ground and made of himself a step by which Mr. Sage, who ia a crip ple on crutches and was badly ahaken up, might descend from the ear. .

Two Months ago Up Cape Feit River Coroner i VIewea the RemainB. A ghastly find waa made in the river by Capt. J. S. Brown, who was coming up 'tho river in his sharpie Friday afternoon about 3 o'clock from Shallotte; Brunswick county. Float ing in the water juat below the "Dram Tree,? two milea below Wilmington, was the badly decomposed and swol len body of a colored man, yellow In: complexion and weighing about 180 pounds. -Capt. Brown threw a around the body and tied it to .the wreck of the schooner juit s below the narrows and upon reaching, the city, reported the occurrence to Dr. C. D. Bell, the coroner. i Dr. Bell went down the river and viewed the. remains, but as the hour waa late and no one could be secured to identify them, he returned to the city and completed the ' investigation yesterday. The body proved to be that of Isaac Kelland, a negro who either jumped or fell overboard from the steamer Highlander, about 40 milea up the Cape Fear river, Monday before laat Christmas. Oa the negro's body were found bills for goods pur chased in Wilmington from Mr. J. J. Kelly, furniture dealer, Messrs. Groom & Hunt, grocers, and a pint bottle of whiskey, pretty well emptied. By the papers the negro was identified, and his father and mother, Sam and Mary Kelland, who live in Ohadbourn's alley, thia city, were notified. Hia body was in auch a badly de composed atate aa to prevent its re moval to Cronly, near where he re- aided, and the burial took place on "3unset Hill," overlooking the river near the apot where he waa found. . The negro was not given to drink and the finding of the flask of liquor upon his person waa unexpected. He haa a wife and four children living near Cronly. He came to Wilmington Monday . before Xmaa to make aome purchases and returning on the boat that night he waa aeen to fall or jump deliberately from the deck of the steamer into the water. Accounts of the drowning published at the time stated that mysterious circumstances surrounded the affair and these will perhaps now never be cleared up. : WICKED VALENTINE PRACTICE.

Gates were taken from their hinsres in . many n laces. houses were stoned . and other sense less conduct indulged in that deserves the most severe punishment should the miscreants be apprehended, as many of them will probably be, from the extra precautions taken against a re currence of the practice thia year by the police.

Primitive Methods of "a Negro v Found Yesterday in Federal Point Township. . CAMPS IN THE WOODS. Sleeps oo the Around and Says He Sab- slsls on Raw Corn The Authorities After Dim to Determine His Ssnity Telia His Slory. - The county authorities are very much puzzled over the actions or a strange colored man, who gives his name as Jim Williams, and who was. found one night last week, by Mr. Ed. Branch, a hunter, in a solitary camp In the wooda- near the Masonboro road, four and a half miles Irom Wil mington. Mr. Branch, reported hia fln1 nn HVMav tt tha anthnnlilDi anil lilHJustice G. W. Bornemann . and Con stable w. b. Savage went out to in vestigate at the earliest, practicable moment. . They found the camp described by Mr. Brancb, and asleep -en the hard ground was the solitary occupant, a middle aged man, with whom they talked as to his primitive methods of living. He said that he slept on the ground because he thought it waa right to doao. Two large drygooda boxes, turned on their sides, -were lying near the camp and in them, the man aaid he slept when it waa raining but upon other occasions he slept on the ground. For food he said he ate raw corn. There waa also at the solitary spot, which is a short distance from the road, in the wilderness, a bundle of old clothes and a few other appurtenances. From a view of the desolate place and a talk with Us occupanf the officers at once made up their minds that the man was a lunatic and so reported to the Clerk of the Superior Court upon their return to the city, The necessary papers were issued to bring the man into safe keeping and laat night Con stable Savage, Deputy Sheriff W. H. Cox and Mr. W. G. Brlnkley went out to; execute them. After a hazardous trip over the scrubby oaks and through various marshes, they were able to ' discover the place - by night, but the man had gone. Where, the officers are puzzled to know. They found the boxes, the clothes and other things aeen at the camp the day be fore, and also a sack of dry corn, cor roborating what the man said he used for food, but no clue to the evidently crazy negro could they aecure and were forced to return to the city with out accomplishing anything. Another search for;WIlliams will be made to-day and in the meantime the authoritiea will continue to speculate aa to a correct explanaUon of the ne gro's atrange conduct. . Q0LP TOURNAMENT YESTERDAY.

Mask, the well know colored physician, reported to Dr. C. T. Harp er, city superintendent of healthy that a .suspicious 'case,- resembling small pox, had jast been discovered by him at 802 Mactsae street; a colored boards ing houle-; the patient being Lee Bitch aged about 35 years, who waa recently employed on the railroad near Burgaw.. Dr. Harper immediately went to in vestigate with Sergeant . of Police Ward. He. found the negro wilh a well developed caae ia the second day of ita eruption, confluent form. Dr. Harper at once quarantined the house which is kept by Chatham Mc Intyre and to-day the patient will be aent to the peat house. Policeman C. E. Wood waa stationed at the houae and nine persons who live there will be held as contacts. The names other ban those mentioned are as follows: da Mclntyre, Riley Johnson, Peter Brown, Tom Durham, John Thomas, Biehard Sogers and Plum Pye.
