I would estab
lish a factory in or near your
city for the purpose of using
such raw material as is found in
sufficient quantities, and provid
ed the product of the factory
can find a sure and profitable
market.
Prefer a veneer factory for
the manufacture of fruit and
vegetable boxes, but would not
let this preference stand in the
way of a better inducement if
local conditions demand another
enterprise.
If the raw material and market
is satisfactory to me and I agree
to employ a given number of
hands what will your city do
toward taking stock or giving
financial aid in such an enter
prise?
I will prove to your entire sat
isfaction my ability to carry
along the enterprise upon con
ditioa that your proposition to
me is equally satisfactory.
I would like that you brin

I am willing to come to your

assured me as I am deeply In

Am considering soase good

in the turbulent waves he got
Miss Guion to the boat. As she

BAD RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Thirteen Killed and 50 Hnrt Near I'eru,
Ill.-Train Plunges Throuvb a Trestle.
A Peru, 111., dispatch of the
26th says, thirteen persons were
killed and about 50 seriously
injured in a wreck of train No
3, the west-bound" Wabash limit
ed, nine miles west of this city
at 42:30 a. va., today. The dead
are all Italian emigrants enroute
to Colorado, whose names are
unknown.
Having left this city one hour
late the train was speeding west
ward at a high rate, when, at a
point nine miles west, the engine
plunged through a trestle which
had been undermined by the re
cent heavy rains. The embank
ment on both sides of the little
stream dropped at a sharp de
gree a distance of forty feet
Owing to the momentum of the
train the engine appeared to
leap across the abyss, plunged
into the soft eartii on the oppo
s'te side and fell back v to the
- t
Fireman Admsore thrown
from the cab, btf .not seriously
hurt. The express car and the
first chair car were telescoped
The emigrant car followed by
two chair cars went down on the
left side of the track and the
first sleeper pitched forward
upon" the debris. Its windows
and trucks were broken, but
none of the occupants was
injured. The remaing cars also
left their trucks, but were not
badly damagod. It was in the
emigrant and day coaches that
most of the deaths and injuries
occurred.
There was absolutely no means
by which the engine crew could
see the impending danger. In
fact the engine ran upon the
trestle before the structure gave
way. The night was intensely
dark. For a few minutes after
the fatal plunge and dreadful
roar of crashing timbers,
deathlike stillness prevailed
which was only broken by the
cries of the injured.
Trainmen caught up their lan
terns and rushed to the neigh
boring farm houses for assist
ance. The, farmers with their
wives and children boarinsr
torches hastened to the scene
and all efforts were bent to giv
ing first aid to the injured. Tele
phone messages were dispatched
to this city and every physician
was hurriedly taken on a special
train which carried them to the
scene. The injured were placed
aboard the cars and brought to
the general hospital in this city
where everything possible was
doue to ameliorate their con
dition. For a time after the res
cuers reached the scene of the
wreck little could be done in th
way of removing the dead
Hundreds of tons of twisted
iron and broken timbers rested
upon the car where the unfortu
nate emigrants were crushed
But by means of wrecking der
ricks the mass was gradually
opened and by daylight nearly
all the dead had been removed
to this city.

DARKER GETS TIYE YEARS.
Tlie Man Who Shot Iter John Keller Not
Given the Maximum Penalty.
New York, June 27. Thomas
G Barker, convicted in the Hud
son county court at Jersey City
last week of felonious assault
upon Rev. John Keller, of Arl
ington, was today sentenced to
five years' imprisonment in the
State penitentiary.
Neither Mis. Barker nor Mr.
Keller were present when sen
tence was passed. Albert C
Wall, of counsel for Barker,
asked Judge Blair to consider
the prisoner's previous good
character, the fact that his life
before this act of violence had
been excellent. His act was one
of passion, instigated by love of
home, and that if his crime had
not been against a clergyman it
might have been viewed differ
ently, although legally it would
have been the same. Barker,
ho said, told the truth and was
convicted by it. "Cannot Jersey
justice," said Mr. Wall in conclu
sion, "take cognizance of these
things and cannot your honor
mitigate his sentence because of
them?"
Judge Blair, in passing sen
tence, said to the prisoner
"Your conviction will teach a
lesson. It was inevitable. While
the court feels that you are
guilty, it also feels that there is
something in your case which
may be overlooked, and there
fore the court will not impose
the full term of imprisonment
but will sentence you to five
years at hard labor in the State
prison."

enough to state that Mr. Fisher

A PREACHER KILLED.
Ret. Patrick Chalmers, of Walhalla,
murdered by Ills Son-ln-Law.
News reached here to today
that the Rev. Patrick Chalmers,
who was struck with an axe in
the hands of his son-in-law, Ban
Roach, several days ago, was
dead.
The coroner is holding an in
quest today. Reports of the af
fair make it appear as a very
bad case against Roach.
It is said that the trouble was
that Mr. Chamlers told Roach
I that he ought to go to work and
provide for his own family.
Roach became furious at this,
went into the yard, picked up
the axe and dealt deadly blows
with the side of it on the left side
and back of the ear of Mr. Cham
bers. Rev. Mr. Chambers was con
sidered a leader in his section,
quiet, peaceable, honest and hon
ored, while Roach does not enjoy
a similar distinction, but has
been in trouble before, his father-in-law
always befriending him
when in his trouble.
Roach is in jail and shows no
sign of regret or remorse. He
has nothing to say about the
charge. His case will doubtless
come up at the next session of
court, July 8. Walhalla, S. C,

REIDSYILLE'S RICH NEGRO.
Ran Away in 1868- How He Built up a
Fortune.
A Reidsville special to theRal-
eigh Post says a negro man, Dr
EdwardDillard,who is the richest
negro probably in ihe world is
now a citizen of that place.
He ran away in 1863 and went
to Pittsburg where he earned
$2.50 as a laborer. He lived od
30 cent per day till he accumu
lated $1,400 when he bought a
horse and began peddling coal in
the day and studdying at night.
He then went to Chicago and
opened a drug store hiring a
competent druggist. He was
burned out by the great fire, but
had a $10,000 insurance policy.
He opened up again but soon
sold out for $22,000. He then
became a cattle dealer, handling
as many as 5000 cittle per
month, shipping them to Liver
pool. He bought a piece of
property near Chicago that is
now in the heart of the city. He
recently refused $200,000 for it.
He also owns a valuable estate
in Australia. Some time ago he
deposited with a Danville bank
two draughts on the Melbourne
bank for $37,000.
He has practically retired and
has hunted up two children in
Reidsville that he left 37 years
ago and says he will stay the
balance of his life in his native
state and will share his wealth
with these children.
He says the greatest fault of
his race is that they do not know
the value of a dollar.
