JanSdStwlt THE PLUNGE TO DEATH THE WRECK ON THIS J11RP1IV BRANCH VES'I KRUAV, Full Particulars of the Terrible Accident Near HuIhhiu, by Which Three Men I.omc Their I.Ives -Cave-In at Swaiiuanoa Tunnel. The speci;il train, currying Assistant Trainmaster Newell, Dr. V. D. Milliard and a wrecking crew to the scene of the fearful accident on the Murphy branch yesterday, returned to the city at 12:10 this morning. Fuller information given The Citizen than yesterday about the casualty is as follows: Freight train No. 66, engine o. 252, was on its way to Asheville. The crew was composed of Hiigineer Sam Francis, Conductor Wakefield, Fire man li. H. Arthur, and Haywood Aber nethy, Rufiis Hemphill and Daniel Hun sucker, colored train hands. On reach ing Addie, a station seven miles west of Balsam, the train was stopped, and as is necessary when there is a heavy train, the engineer had to "double" to Balsam, the top ol the grade. One-half of the train had been taken to Balsam and sidetracked, and the engine, with the engineer, fireman and three bra kemen on board, started back for the remaining portion ol the train, the en gine running backwards. Soon after leaving Balsam, F.ngineer Francis found that the engine was running away. He reversed the machinery and applied the air makes. It was ol no use, however, the engine speeding on. gaining speed with every second. The crew stuck to the engine, thinking perhaps that the engine might make the terrible run safely. When within a few feet of a trestle just be yond the Dark Ridge trestle it left the rails and plunged off. The speed must have been terrific, for the engine landed at the opposite end of the trestle, which is about 100 leet long and 70 feet high. The tender was turned bottom upwards. There was but one man besides the men on the engine who saw the catas trophe. He lived in the mountains and was near the track when the accident o cur red. When help reached the men, they were found in the water of Scott's creek. En gineer Francis was lying near his engine, under the water, and his position indi cated that he was on the footboard when the leap was made. His back was bio ken, hips and legs crushed badly and there were several fearful wounds on his face and head. Fireman Arthur was lying under the cab. His head was crushed and bis body otherwise bruised. He lived about five hours, unconscious to the last. Kulus Hemphill, one of the brakemcn, as killed instantly. Hunsuckcr and Abernethy, the other brakemcu, were hurt, but not seriously. Several spans ol the trestle were bro ken d' wn, and passengers had to be transferred at that point. Hie dead and wounded were brought to this city last night. The dead were iken to Illair ifc McDowell s undertak ig establishment ana prepared lor bunal. Samuel Francis, the engineer, was an Asheville man, a son of W. C. Francis ho lives on Roberts street, lie was nearly 24 years old, and unmarried. He was a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and had been running lor about two years. He stood iirh with all the railroad men. He car- icd an accident policy of $i,000. His remains will be taken to Wayncsville, his Id home, on the 7:40 train tomorrow morning, accompanied by the following members of the Urothcrhood : YV. V. I.owe, L. C. Aldrich, L. S. Aldrich, . M. Edwards. I. I. Clarke. H. Li. Taylor, W. L. Mack, K. L. Francis, brother of the cad man, mid Ud. S. liright. The fun eral services will occur at 11 o'clock in he Methodist church at Wayncsville. H. H. Arthur, the fireman, was a West Virginian, and about 30 years old. He was married, but several months ago sep- raled from his wife, who is living here. He leaves one child. His remains will be sent to t'luyandotte, W. Va., for burial. Kulus Hemphill, the bi akeman, lived 111 Asheville. He will be buried tomorrow. l'he engine was badly torn up. The res tic will be repaired today, and trains will run on tune tomorrow. Wlloe Neiclect 1 Daniel Hunsuckcr, one of the colored brakemcn who went down with the engine, was lying in the colored waiting room at the passenger depot at 8 o'clock this morning. He had been there since a little alter midnight. Lying stretched on some car seats, with his face covered with blood from wounds on the head, he presented a pitiable appearance. Dr. Milliard had dressed his wounds, which were not dangerous, but that was all the attention that had lieen given him. His clothing was badly torn, and por tions of his body were exposed. Cave-in at the Tunnel. Early this morning a cave-in occurred at the eastern end of the Swannanoa tunnel, on the main line of the Western North Carolina railroad. A large quan tity of rock and dirt fell in, completely blocking the track. Passengers on the west bound train were transferred, the train reaching here several hours late. l he railroad am horitics exiiect to have the track clear by tomorrow alternoon. I ntil that is done, passengers ou all trains will have to be transferred at that point. A fiKACF.FVL, ACT. RutKerHColleife Hov Cilve an Old KutiterM Graduate a Concert. udge J. Wilson Drury, with Mrs. Drury.nrc guestsnt the Oakland Heights Sanatorium. Judge Dairy's home is in Chicago and he is a jurist of eminent distinction. He is the oldest living graduate ol Kutgers college. A number ol the Kutgers College Wee club, which gave the delightful entertainment here last night, knowing the judge s connec tion with their institution, determined to give to give him a complimentary call. So with the esprit de corps which le- longs to college bovs especially, tney bur ried over to Oakland Heights as soon ai they arrived here, and gave a most charming impromptu concert. Their singing was greatly enjoyed by the guests and their friendly visit highly up predated by udge and Mrs. Drury After the songs the members ot the Glee club partook of an elegant supper pre pared for them, and then gave their dis tinguished friend a furewell with the Kutgers college cheer. COMING "SOCIETY" WKDOING. Mrs. Marshall o. Roberta and Col. Ralph Vivian. Society in the Empire City is agog with expectation of the ceremony tomor- row which will make husband and wife Colonel Vivian and Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts. The bride is a leader in the circles of fashion in New York, and her attire is a frequent subject of description. She is a beauty and reputed very wealthy. The man ol her second choice is a soldier on the reserve list of the Brit ish army, and a splendid specimen of physical manhood. He stands b leet .1 inches in height and is hanlsomely pro portioned. The Colonel has seen active service and has distinguished himself as an indefatigable hunter on the frontier. In his present visit he is accompanied by distinguished English officers. The wed ding about which all society folks are talking will take place in Calvary church, of which the Rev. Dr. Henry Y. SatUrlee is rector. KOVAI. FKl.I.OWS AT TABLK. The Bill Nye Banquet at the Bat. tery Park. The Savannah l'ress knows a good thing from afur off; as witness: "That was a memorable banquet at the Battery l'ark hotel in Asheville the other night. Ex-editor McKissiek fa vored our old friend Bill Nye with one of his Christmas repasts of ambrosia and holly sprigs, and the evening was a gen uine feast ol reason and flow of soul. Edgar W. Nye, whom his Buncombe neighbors call "Hill," has become domes ticated in North Carolina. Bill does not lecture or try to be funny when he is at home in Buncombe, lior does he print his photograph in the local papers. For thut reason he is very popular. The children cry for him and the real estate ugetits bask m his smile. As between Nye and Vandcrbilt, Nye has a larger following and a higher forehead, although Vandcrbilt has a bigger house and more tennis court. Bill Nye settled in Bun combe just after Vandcrbilt commenced his million-dollar cottage. Nve deterred his own building in order to "take ad vantage of Vanderbilt's mistakes." "That was a memorable meeting, Nve und McKissiek. Both are old newspupcr men, and have reformed. Nyc is asso ciate editor of a new drama and Mc Kissiek is junior manager of the Battery l'ark. Nye has more fame, but McKis siek has more flesh and good looks. No woman would hesitate to award to the Asheville man the palm for nianlv beauty, although the farmers in Buncombe might preler Nye s linen duster to McNissick 9 wallow-tau coat. But the banquet was a memorable one. Nye toasted our Hosts unu aic- Kissick spoke for 'the press. It was a great occasion. We have not yet re ceived a certified copy of the menu, but echoes from Buncombe assure us that it was n masterpiece an epic in cut-glass und smoked venison."

Great ex citement was caused in the department f state this forenoon by the report that Secretary Blaine had been taken sud denly ill while at work in his ufliee. The report proved to be true, but every precaution was taken to prevent the fact becoming public. Surgeon General Ilrown, of the navy, whose office is in the same building, was summoned, and was promptly in at tendance. Another physician from the war department was also on hand in n few minutes, and under their jointefforts Mr. Blaine was made to feel compara tively comfortable. His daughter, Miss Hattic, was informed of his condition, and was soon at his side. The alarm was great at first, but sub sided about noon when the secretary was reported as resting easily and as be ing entirely out of danger. The nature of his illness is said to be due altogether to temporary stomachic derangement. Mr. Blaine was subsequent ly removed to his house and it is now (IS p. in.,) said he is expected to be able to be out tomorrow. SHERMAN WILL WIN IT l tlHAKI.lt TO HI-: HKATEK1IV TWliNTV VOTIvS.
