ENROUTE TO COUNTY HOME
Clark Anthony Killed by a Train
I Last Night.
HAPPENED ABOUT EIGHT O'CLOCK
Struck by the Out-dolnjc Winston
Train No Blame Attached to the
Railroad Authorities.
. Last night about dark D. M. Quate
was walking along the Southern rail
road track going in the direction of
the coal chute. When just at the
ppint where that road crosses over the
C. F. & Y. V. road he met an old
man, apparently about 60 years of
age, who was walking in the direction
of the depot with a bag of what ap
peared to be clothing strapped over
his shoulders and in one hand he car
ried, a smaller budget.
Mr. Quate says the old man ap
pea red to be quite feeble. He enquired
of Mr. Quate the distance to the county
home and was told that it was about
three miles. He said he was on his
way there and had a letter from the
county commissioners for his admis
sion to the home.
He started on and was then quite
near the crossing. The Southern at
this point goes over the C. F. & Y. V.
road on a short trestle, and Mr. Quate
cautioned him to look out for trains
as it was dangerous to walk on the
track. Mr. Quate says he walked on
a little distance and hearing a train
coming looked back and saw the Win
ston train nearing the trestle and the
old man was standing on the end of a
sill or on some of the masonry.
Just as Mr. Quate looked back the
engineer gave the danger signal, the
engine was then in a few feet of the
the old man, who was on the left and
and opposite side of the track from
the engicee'-. The cross piece extend
ing across in front of the cylinders
struck the old man and hurled him
down, the cut onto the C. F. & Y. V.
track.
The engineei had already, simulta
neously with the dangersignal, appl'ed
the air brakes and the train was stop
ped just as the engine crossed the
trestle.
The body was picked up from the
track, below, physicians summoned,
but to no purpose. The old man died
in a few minutes. The body has been
turned overw the county authorities
for burial.
Examination revealed the name of
the dead man as Clark Anthony. He
had lived near Thomas ville and had
in his pocket a certificate for admis
sion to the county home, to which
place ; the old and feeble man was
wending his weary way when his life
met such a sudden ending.
No blame attaches to the trainmen
for this tragedy. Mr. Quate says he
thinka the engineer-gave the alarm and
applied brakes as soon as it was pos
sible for him to have seen there was
danger, and that the brakes were put
on with such force that the train was
stopped remarkably quick. The body
was placed on the same train and car
ried to the depot where it was turned
over to the authorities.

Santiago, July 17, via Playa del

dered at nine o'clock this morning
Generals Shafter, Wheeler, Lawton,
Ludlow, Ames and Ked, with eighty
officers of lower rank were escorted
by a squadron of cavalry and a regl
ment of infantry and met the Governor,
Major, Chief of Police and the Arch

square fronting the cathedral and at
that hour the formalities of turning
over the city to the Americans took
place. The Cubans were not officially
represented.
The Red Cross steamship State of
Texas, carrying supplies, with Clara
Barton aboard, entered the harbor
immediately after the Spanish gun
boat Alvarez, which was surrendered
to the Americans, steamed out of the
harbor flying the American flag.
Twelve smaller vessels were also sur
ren iered.
The Cuban flag waved over Sooopa
Castle a few minutes, but was quickly
lowered for the American colors.
Morro Castle and the batteries in the
vicinity are wrecked as a result of the
bombardment by the fleet.
American and Spanish troops are
hobnobbing on the hillsides surround
ing the city. General Shafter and the
commanding officers were given dinner
today by the Spanish. There was
plenty of wine but a notable scarcity
of eatables. There is great destitution
in the city.
It is reported that during the cere
monies General Shafter ordered the
arrest of Sylvester Scoville, the New

SHAFTER'S OFFICIAL MESSAGE.
Washington, July 17 The war de
partment posted the following bulletin
at 5:15 p. m.:
"Santiago deCuba, July 17.
"Ali.itant P.ino 1 TTnU-osI Cto f.ao
Washington:
"I have tht honor to announce that
the American flag has been this in
stant, 12 o'clock, hoisted over the
house of the civil governor in San
tiago. An immense concourse of peo
ple was present.
"A squadron of cavalry and a reg
iment of infantry presented arms and
the band played' national airs. A
light battery fired a salute of 21 guns.
Perfect order is being maintained by
the municipal government; The dis
tress is very great, but little sickness
in town. Scarcely any yellow fever.
A small gun-boat and about 100 sea
men left by Cervera have surrendered.
The obstructions are being removed
from the mouth of the harbor.
"Upon coming in the city I discov
ered a perfect entanglement of de
fences. Fighting as the Spaniards did
the first day, it would have cost 5,000
lives to have take a it. Battalions of
Spanish troops have been depositing
arms since dayllghtin the armory, over
which I have guards. General Toral
formally surrendered the plaza and all
stores at 9 a. m.

THE HARBOR ENTERED.
Santiago Harbor, July IS. Alm6st
immediately after the Spanish flag
was hauled down from Morro Castle
yesterday steam launches commanded
by Hobson and Paloner entered the
harbor, penetrating to the firing sta
tions of submarine mines.. The mines
were all exploded under the super
vision of the Vixen. It was observed
that two mines had previously been
exploded at the entrance of the har
bor, but it is not thought probable this
was in any way connected with the
sinking of the Merrimac.
SPANIARD'S BURNING LIGHTHOUSES.

nouse keepers at Cape May and Cape
Lucrea have burned the lighthouses in

TEMPERANCE UNION riEETINQ.
Held Last Night at Centenary Church
The Speakers.
Last night the first of a series of tem
perance unio nmeetings was held at Cen
tenary church. A choir composed of
members of the different church choirs
of South Greensboro had specially
prepared music, the chief feature of
which was a beautiful and touching
solo by Miss Weatherly.
The speakers wereMr. Walter Men
denhall and Mr. J. Norman Wills. Mr.
Wills' subject was "A Business Man's
View of Temperance," and he discuss
ed it in a masterly manner. Mr. Wills
has studied the subject, as all who heard
him last night were convinced. He
showed by his argument that, viewing
it from a cold-blooded business stand
point leaving out the tears and sighs
and heartaches and pinched and wan
faces of widows and orphans and wives
who have drunken, worthless husbands,
and the great number of men who an
nually go down to a drunkard's grave
and a drunkard's hell the saloon does
not pay.
After the speaking several new mem
bers were added to the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of South
Greensboro.
We understand other similar meet
ings will be held in the near future.
A Costly Bargain.
By Wire to Thx Telegram.
Washington, July 18 The expense
of sending the Spanish troops back to
Spain will foot up over one million
dollars. The cost of food alone will
amount to four thousand dollars a day

days.
