A Tt-rriMe Wreck on tlie Murpliy 1siiil-Ii TliiH Afternoon. News w;is reeeiveo here lale this after noon of a terrible wreck that occurred on the Mui'ihv branch of the Western North Carolina railroad about 1 o'clock, about forty miles west of Asheville. A freight train was going west, and on reaching a heavy grade beyond Halsatn the engineer had to "double" to git his train over. In doing this he lost control of the engine, and it dashed down the grade. When il reachid the DaikKidge trestle it left the rails and fell to the bot tom ol the gorge, and into Scott's creek. The engineer, Sam Francis, of Ashe ville, the fireman, Sam Arthur, and Ru ins Hemphill, a colored train hand, were instantly killed. The fall was tl terrible one, the trestle being 103 feet high.

Then there ure the cities of Atlanta and Augusta, the rate to which formerly was f0 cents, but which is now only -Ml cents. 1 lie same change applies to Chatta nooga and lliistol, Tenn., and Kock Hill, Cluster and Wiunsboro, S. C. 'The old rate to Spartanburg was 4-0 cents, but that hits been reduced to 12f cents. The same reduction has been made for tireeuville and ot her towns in South Carolina on the Air Line road." Mr. I'eeblcs said he could name hun dreds of cities to which the telegraph rate had been lessened. KATH II CXUVI-R. HodeulH Make a Nesl In a Roll of (reeuluiekH. About one month ngo ('. W.
