FELL FROM TRAIN
MR MARVIN BINKLEY INJURED
Mail Clerk J. Marvin Binkley, Run
ning Between Roanoke and Char
lotte, Falls From Train While It Is
Running 30 Miles An Hoar and
Is Seriously Hurt —Is Son of Rev.
D. A. Binkley, of Danbury.
Yesterday's Charlotte Observer i
contained the following account I
of the accident to Mr. 9. Marvin
Binkley, son of Rev. and Mrs. D. I
A. Binkley, of Danbury:
A very strange mishap and
what proved to be a very miraou
lous escape from death was the;
experience yesterday afternoon
of Mr. J. M. Binkley, mail olerk
on Southern passenger train No.
28 from Winston-Salem, arriving
here at 5:50 o'clock. Mr. Bink
ly resides at No. 705 North Pine
street and is regarded as one of
the most estimable clerks in the
railroad service. When just about;
a quarter of a mile above Advanoe I
yesterday afternoon he slipped j
and fell through the open door
of his car while the train was
moving at a rate of about 30 miles
an hour. No one knew of the ac
cideot at the time and the mar
velous feature about the whole
affair is that death WAS not almost
instantaneous. As it is Mr. Bink
ley suffered severe injures about
the head and body but none of
thein are necessarily fatal and he
will be out again at an early date
if complications do not arise.
The discovery of the accident
carue about just after Advance
was passed. Mr. E. Hunni-j
cutt, bp.ggage clerk, heard the |
.station agent at Advance say
something about getting no re
sponse to his knocks on the mail
clerk's door. As the train was !
pulling out. Mr. Hunnicutt decid- i
eti to investigate for himself. He
did not anticipate auything wrong
at the time but was merely cur
ious as to why the station ageut
had received no response from
Mr. Binkley. who was usually
very affable. The mail clerk's
apartment was in the same car!
with Mr. Hunnicutt with only |
a partition between. Imagine!
Mr. Honniciitt's surprise when he j
opened the door aud found the I
room absolutely empty. He knew |
he had seen and heard Mr. i
Bi-ikley but a few miles up the
road and there was no explanation
but that he had fallen out of the j
open door while the train was in i
motion.
Capt. Claude Morrison, the con
ductor, was immediately notified
and he wired post haste back to
Advance asking that a search be
instituted for the iniesing man.
This was done and Mr. Binkley's
body was found to one side of the
track about a quarter of a mile
from the station. He was badly
braised and shaken but was not
altogether unconscious. Every
medical attention was shown him
and be was brought to Charlotte
last night on No. 15. r He was
carried to the Presbyterian hos
pital a here he will remain until
be is able to be carried bome.

FLATSHOAL UNEASY
j HAVE YOU HEARD THE NOISE ?
| Muffled Rumbling That is Neither
Thunder Nor Blasting On the
Southbound —Is a Volcanic Erup
tion Impending ?
Are the smouldering fires of a
I volcano eating upward through
! the bowels of Flatshoal mountain,
| and is the crucial moment soon
jto arrive when the crust of the
I lofty peak shall be hurled into
1 fragments, followed by giant
tongues of lurid fiames, clouds of 1
■ black smoke and ashes, and Hying
| boulders ? Imagine then the
| ocean of melted stone rushing
j down the sides of tbe mountain,
i burning all in its path—a tide of
seething fire hotter than Dante's
Inferno.
This dismal picture is hard to!
efface from the minds of those
people who listen every day to
The Noise.
Haven't you heard it ? Then
your ears must be dull indeed.
For a year or more nervous
citizens have discerned it here
about the mountain somewhere— j
' nobody can exactly locate the
dull, dismal, distant din. Some
times it sounds like thunder far
off. almost inaudible. But there
are uo clouds in the sky. It has
been tried to be explained by the ,
I theory of blasting on the South- j
j bound. But do the Southbound
I workers labor all night and on
! Sundays, too—for The Noise can
!be heard on the Sabbath as well
|as in the silences of the night.
I Moreover, it is 40 miles to the
j place of work on the Southbound. 1
Deep, tremenduous rumbling—
j muffled detonations sounding
j like the boom >f a lava surf on
] subterranean shores. —like the
'upward impact of titanic explo
jsions in the heart of the earth.
Oh. haven't you heard The
Noise i
