TRAINING NEW ENGINES.
Ten Big Passenger Locomotives Pull
ing Freight Trains.
Ten new locomotives, just received
by the Southern Railway for Trains
35, 36, 37 and 38, are being "broken in"
for regular service for the passenger
lines. When engines are turned out by
the shops they are stiff and sore, and
they have to be trained with the same
care that is exercised with a horse.
Before they are put on the passenger
run they are operated on freight trains
and the engines are now running from
Greenville to Charlotte.
"These big locomotives are as fine
as any ever made, said an engine driv
er at the Air Line station yesterday to
the Greenville News man. "Ordinarily,
a person might suppose that they can
be detailed for regular duty as soon as
they are received, but this is a mis
take. They are human, in a way. and
remind one very much of a wild horse.
We have to break them in, and as soon
as they become accustomed to regular
work and know the road they will skip
over the line like greased lightning.
The company has been short of this
stock for months, but it was net due
to any lack of effort on the part of the
officials. There was so much work in
thes hop that orders placed long ago
could not be filled promptly, although
the trouble is being remedied.
"After the engines are transferred
from the freights to the fast passenger
trains, schedules can be maintained
with greater accuracy. The Southern
has been through a dot of hard luck
ever since the first storms played
havoc with the line, but this is over
now, and with the new engines it will
be possible to get trains in and out of
Greenville on time. The improvement
will be noted just as soon as these
'colt engines' are graduated from the
maiden class."
A Big Catch of Fish.
A special from Wrightsville says:
The sharpie "Virgie May," Capt. Wells,
chartered by Capt. J. L. Irby. of South
Carolina, and party, consisting of R.
r. Heitman and W. F. Harken, of Lex
ington, N. C, and J. D. Proctor, of
Lumberton, N. C, made the largest
catch of Spanish mackerel off Wrights
ville Beach of the season. It amounted
to 301 fish. This, the largest catch, was
due to the skillful handling of the boat
by Capt. Wells.
Past Grand Patriarck R. H. Ram
say, of this city, has just returned from
Statesville, where he instituted an en
campment of The Independent Order
of Odd Fellows with 21 members.

WRECK ON SEABOARD.
Several Prominent Atlanta People
Were Injured At Greenwood.
There was quite a serious wreck on
the Seaboard Air Line Sunday at
Greenwood, S. C. The train that came
to grief was the southbound vestibuled
train.
A special from Greenwood says: The
two rear cars, the Pulman sleeper and
cafe car, of the southbound vestibuled
train, on the Seaboard Air Line, were
wrecked here about noon today. The
two cars left the track at the grade
crossing on Church street and were
carried forward about fifty yards. The
track was entirely torn up and the two
cars finally thrown into the side of the
embankment, stopping the rest of the
train.
There were four persons in the Pull-
' " : -i- r.- s . n-
e rrl im. r.cs had rs 'yet appeared.
I Mrs. Saul ia at tho home of Mrs.
Henderson, near the scene of the
wreck. She had two little children
with her but neither of them sustained
any injuries. Mrs. Saul was on her
way from Washington, D. C, to At
lanta. Hsr husband is a prominent
dry goods merchant of Atlanta, and is
expected on the next train.
The other passengers in the Pullman
were: Mrs. W. H. P.ailpv nf riiitnn
jrnd son Harvy; Col. Robert Lowry, of
; Mla.nta. and 'a. yonnc man whose name
' T-'f t trivrn. Colonel Lowry was

I Bailey's lit: !e. sen, Harry, was cut with
c-icicen gnvs. She herself was not in
jured and continued her journey to
Athens.
The wrecking train from Abbeville
was soon on the spot, but it will be
some time before they can get the
track in shape. The rest of the train
continued the trip to Atlanta.
Great crowds of people soon congre
gated and every doctor in the town was
on the spot in a few minutes after the
wreck.
A Correction.
In reporting the case of three white
men charged with assaulting Mr. W. E.
Shuford yesterday, The News erred in
stating that Bunyan Howell, one of
the three, was committed in default of
bail. Young Howell gave bond and
was released.

COLORED CONVOCATION.
Of the A. M. E. Zion Church Will Meet
Tomorrow.
One of the most momentous events
in the history of colored Methodism
will be the convocation of eight color
ed bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church,
five colored bishops of the C. M. E.
Church, and about sixty representa
tive preachers and laymen from North
and South tomorrow and Thursday,
from 10 a. m. to 3 p. rh., in Grace A.
M. E. Zion church, South Brevard
street, this city, to discuss the utility
and practicability of organic union be
tween these two denominations which
have churches in nearly every State in
the Union and work in foreign lands.
There are a few chronic kickers
against the movement, but the brains
of both churches frvor ft strongly.
since both denominations have a con
cordant 'faith in all the cardinal doc
trines of Christianity, and a similarity
!i. church polity, they believe it is for
the glory of God and the uplift of their
race that they unite. The basis of
union adonted last October, ia their
joint meeting in Washington, D. C,
and which will be strengthened at this
meeting, will be submitted next year
to their respective general conferences
for ratification or rejection.
Tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock will
be a red letter evening at the church.
His Honor, Mayor P. M. Brown, will
welcome them on behalf of the citizens

corder of deeds of the District of Co
