A RUNAWAY TROLLEY CAR
THRILLING FLIGHT DOWK A
HEAVY GRADE.
A Crowded car on itae W. a. &
N. B. Road Daahea lolo Depot
tree! aud I'peeta List of ine
lulured.
Pucsengcrs on car No. 1 on the West
Asheville and Sulphur Springs railway
had a thrilling ride this morning, the
memory of which will be wi. h them tor
many a day. About 8:15 the car, in
charge of Conductor Ed. Suddcrtb and
Motorman J. E. Snider, started down
the heavy grade leading into Depot
street. It was heavily loaded, Conduc
tor Suddcrtb having taken up Vi fares,
which did not include a number of chil
dren.
A lew yards from the point where the
road emerges from the deep cut the mo
torman noticed that the car was increas
ing its speed, apparently because of the
slick track. He tightened the brake.
but the speed of the cur only increased
with each revolution ot the wheels. The
brake was set so hard that the wheels
began to slide and the current was re
versed. There was no sund on the car.
All efforts to stop the car were futile and
it kept on a wild run down to Depot
street.
The rear platform was crowded with
gentlemen, among them being Dr. C. J.
unveros, u. j. Alexander, j. 11. bicuing
and IS. F. Witscll. As the car struck
the curve into Depot street, at the cross
ing of the Asheville street railroad track,
the speed was so great that one side ol the
car left the rail and the sharp curve was
made on two wnccis. it ran this way
for prrhaps 30 yards when it fell over on
its side on the granite pavement.
1 be scene wlneli lullowcd was one of
contusion. Women andchildrca ecreunicd
after the shock of the la'l had passed.
The occupants of the cur had been
thrown upon each other on the lower
side of the car and the scut ou the up)icr
side hud fallen down upon some of them.
All ot the windows bad been nut down.
otherwise ninny of these in the car must
have been cut by the broken glass. The
motorman, who pluckily stuck to his
post till the last, was thrown headlong
for '20 feet, striking on the paving. Mr.
Stclling was also thrown some distance
from the track. Conductor Sudderth
held his place and his head admirably.
Mr. Witsell, it is said, jumped just as
the car struck the curve.
Within a moment alter the accident
Charles Mondnv, and others who
were near mid saw it, ran to the
scene, and with the assistance of the
carmen and the gentlemen who had
made the trip the work ot tuking the
passengers from the overturned car was
completed. It was found tbut a numlicr
were hurt although the injuries ol most
of them are slight. The list of injured
lollows:
Mrs. Uillicrt F. Duwson, Wushington,
D. C, severe injuries to back aud head.
t. V. Witscll, Charleston, a. C, arm
and leg broken.
Dr. C. I. Olivcros, Asheville, Ice
sprained.
Conductor sudderth, bruises on leg.
Mrs. Jas. Dickson, Charleston, injured
in neck and shoulder.
Miss Fannie O'Rourkc, Charleston,
arm bruised.
Mrs. John Cruise, Asheville, hurt on
shoulder, and several bruises.
Mrs. M. L. Ncuffer. Orangeburc, S. C.
injuries to neck.
Mrs. Dawson was on her way to
Savannah, accompanied by her husband.
She was taken to the Glen Kock hotel,
where she is attended by Dr, S. Westray
Itattlc.
Mr. Witscll, whose arm und leg were
broken when he left the runaway cur,
was tukdi to the home of his brothcr-in-
w, Dr. Olivcros, 78 Bailey street. The
injury to his leg was so serious that
amputation became neccssurv. The op
eration w;ts : uccesslully perlormrd before
noon, the leg being taken off between the
knee and ankle. Dr. Wit. D. Milliard is
in charge of his case. .The patient is
resting easily this afternoon.
An investigation into the cause ol the
iiiilortiinatc accident resulted in the
startling development that at the point
where the runaway began, and tor some
distance below, salt had been sprinkled
on the south rail, This had evidently
been done last night. The action of the
salt caused a slippery rust to form on
the rail. A quantity of this suit could be
seen in spots along the track some time
alter the accident. Whether this salt
was put on the rail out ol a mint of fuu
or with a deliberate view to cause a run
away may never be known,
i nc derailed car was replaced in an
hour or so and sent to the shed. The
principal damage was the breaking of
the journal boxes.

A few days ago JocSludcr, J, S. Adann
and several friends started out on the
Montford avenue car line with the in
tcution of bringing down a lew of the
bats that tempt a sportsman these even'
inc. "Doc" Daird, manager of the Red
line, was along on the car and was atari
ling the onrtv with tales ol the large
number of bats to be found out towards
the river.
By the time the car bud reached a point
a short distance south ot the Monttord
avenue school building the expectations
ol the party were keyed to tbe highest
notch. Imagine their leelings, then,
when the car stopped suddenly, It was
hard luck, and they sr.t around talking
about the ilisuppoiutmentconsequcut on
n cutting oil ot the current, nut Mr.
Buird found a way out ot the tlillicullv
and announced it proudly. "Boys," he
said, "there arc enough of us here to
push the car to the top of the hill. Then
it will roll the rest of the way."
Happy solution! livery man Jack "lit.
out" and putting shoulders to the big
vehicle it wns shoved to the crest of the
grade. Just then the motorman looked
up at the wire aud announced; "The
trolley's oU!"
"Oh," and with a chorus of chaRrin
a half doien "sold"soorlsmen climbed on
the cur and kept right quiet till they got
out ol the city.

DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTH.

Washington, Aug. 31. In the conven
tion to aid in the development of tbc
South Mr. Hack well made reference to
the report that northern commercial
b..d ics were antagonizing the conven
tion. "But we need just that sort of
opposition," be said, "to make our pro
ject a success."
Loud applause followed this sentiment.
The movement was one of immense pos
sibilities, he said. It was like the im
mense wealth that lay bidden in the
mountains of his native Alabama; it
needed to be brought to the surlace.
Ul.u k well was elected temporary chair
man and T. L. Barrett, West Virginia,

W. S. White of the Fredericksburg Free
Lance offered a resolution providing for
the appointment ol a committc consist
ing ol one member from each Southern
State to be known ns the committee on
business, which shall have power to pro
vide for the organization of a permanent
association for the development of the
industrial resources of the South. This
resolution was adopted unanimously.
A letter from B. H. Y arner, president
of the board of trade of Washington, D.
C, wus interrupted by Irvine of Ala
bama who said that Warner's reference
to "loud mouthed Populists" who were
injuring the South wus out of order, us
wus any political criticism. The chair
man promptly ruled that Irvine's point
wus well taken. The report of thecommit
tee on credentials, admitting as delegates
all from the South who were present, was
adopted with an amendment providing
that representatives of northern, eastern
and western bodiei to whom invitutions
hud been extended should be admitted
to the floor but without right to vote.

Ralkiuii, N. C, Au,. 31. Special.
Tbe Republican convention credentials
committee did not report until 3:30 yes
terday afternoon. There were several
contests. It was iound that some couu
ties were represented by non-residents
who had been voted for as delegates. A
majority of the committee were anti
fusiomsts and reported against these
delegates, saying they were only proxies;
but the minority of the committee re
ported in favor of seating them. As this
was the fusion side, their report was
overwhelmingly adopted.
Speeches were made by T. C. Millikin,
J. E. Boyd, George II. White, John C
Dnncv, (. M.Moody, . C. Pritchartl and
K. f.. binncy.
White, who is colored solicitor of the
second district, eulogized Senator Vance
ns a great and grand man.
Lusk and Moody had rather a lively
spat. Lusk was a delegate from Tran
sylvania as well as from Buncombe.
It was difficult to ascertain how many
counties were represented directly: the
secretary suid 87.
Oliver II. Dockery was elected perma
nent chairman of the convention. Loge
Harris offered a resolution nominating
Worth, Fairclotb, Furchcs. Clark and
Conner, just as named by Pops. This reso
lution was referred to the platform com
mittee of which Hurris was made chair
man. This soon reported.
The ulatform reaffirms devotion to the
National platform: endorses the nrotcc
tivc tariff which the I 'ops denounce;
favors international bimetalisin anil the
coinage of the entire product of Aincri
can mines ut u rutio ol sixteen to one;
luvursu tariff for protection of American
labor against foreign pauper lubor; de
nounces the new tariff bill aud the at
tempt to place Southern products on the
tree list; demands the rceal of the reve
nue taxes ou whiskev and tobacco; de
mands the repeal ol the county govern
ment system; demands tree und fair elec
tions and the count ot each vole ns cast:
demands that landholders nnd bouse
holders be allowed to deduct, in giving
in their tuxes, the amount of their in
debtedness. The plutform was adopted by acclama
tion, is was also the resolution in re
gard to nominations which was referred
to that committee. This resolution was
an exuet copy of the one udoptcd by the
i op. convention.
K, M. Douglas presented the minority
report, culling for n ticket a majority ol
which should be Republican.
There was a love least after this ulat
form and a reioliition was adopted
Lusk sprang to his feet and shouted : 1
'North Carolina is redeemed: thank
God."
This was at 7 o'clock last evenini;. nnd
the convention at once went into the
business of electing a chairman to suc
ceed Eaves. A. li. Holton ol Yadkin
wns chosen.
Pritchurd's siiecch made the greatest
hit with the convention.
