FIFTY-NINE KILLED ON BOAT.

Tuesday, July 25 I W.
The incessant effort that was
brought to War on Governor Glenn
ft the rdon of the man Teachey.
who was handed in Dub lin county
last wn-k, shows that the Crovernor'
job is not always a pWsint one.
(kmrnor Glenn certiinly acted very
becomingly in the matter, doing
vervlhinit inissille to cet at the
truth and giving the condemned
man every dhow, but remaining firm
against great pressure hen be bad
fully decided that he should not in
trrfere. ..
The startling storv that omit
from Darlington U the effect that
many people believe that Mr. Dargan
never committed suicide at all, if
rather interesting, mostly on account
of the manv ingenious frills invent
ed to give it plausibility. People
will talk of it as a Dine days' wonder
and then drop it, as there is not the
remotest chance that there is any
truth in the story. Stripped of
fiction, the story of the suicide is
dramatic enough. It shows that
these Dargan brothers held the same
idea of honor as that held by the
ancient general who killed his own
daughter in order to disprove rumors
against her chastity.
The farmers of I'nion county as a
whole are to be congratulated on the
results of this month's cotton selling.
At Monroe, Wingate, Marshville and
Waxhaw during July they have sold
in the neighborhood of 3.4UI bales.
The price has averaged fifty dollars
a bale. This would give the big sum
of $170,000 that has been turned
loose in cash in the county in a little
over three weeks. No doubt most of
this money has been ilejK'sited in the
banks of the comity, where it gins
to work making more. I'nion coun
ty folk on the whole have nothing to
complain about.

which exploded, it is said, was re
garded as unsafe. Commander Young
stated that during a recent return
from Honolulu the steam pressure
was kept reduced in that particular
one.
The bodies of many of the men
taken from the wrecked interior of
the ship were mutilated almost be
yond recognition. The faces of uiany
were covered with blood and ashes.
Some Uidies may never be identified.
Temporary quarters ashore were ar
ranged for the wounded and tK citi
zens volunteered and hurried in
launches to the relief of those on the
ship. Some of the volunteers were
unable to stand the sickening sight
which met their gaze on tlie Ben
nington. As fast as the wounded
could be removed they were hurried
in ambulances, carriages, wagons and
automobiles to hospitals. For a long
tune the hot steam prevented access
to the space between decks, where
most of the dead Uidies lay, and it
was not until late in the afternoon
that the last were removed from the
U)iler rooms. Several bodies were
so tightly wedged in by a bulkhead
that the wood work had to be hewed
away to free them.
hen tlie explosion occurred the
pngineer was inspecting the Uilers.
He was not seriously injured. Olh-
cers and men who were able to assist
in the rescue acted in a brave and
collected manner. The pumps were
manned to keep the water from the
upper compartments, the magazine
was flooded and men fought their
way through the steam into the dark
ened hold. Many slightly injured
sailors remained in the ship and as
sisted in rescuing the more severely
injured. The ship's inner works an
a tangled mass of machinery and the
vessel probably will have to be dis
mantled to repair the injuries, if, in
deed, she is not a total loss.
Lieut xates, executive officer in
charge of the Bennington at the time
of the disaster, was in the aft cabin.
He rushed out, to be met by a blind
ing, scalding cloud of steam as it
swept the vessel. Speaking of the
occurrence, he said: "1 must have re
mained seated in my chair several
seconds after it occurred and did not
know what had happened. I then
rushed out, and the steam, even at
the extreme after-part of the ship,
was so dense that I could not get a
breath of air until I ascended the
rail. As I ran forward I passed one
of our boys crawling along. There
was no time to attend to individual
cases, as there were so many. About
30 of the boys were on the fore deck,
all severely wounded. I called for
men to man the boats, and only a
dozen men, including oflicers, re
sponded at that moment. All of the
rest were injured or had been thrown
overboard."
Lieut Victor Blue of North Caro
lina, one of the officers of the Ben
nington, was taken to a hospital the
day before the explosion suffering
with an acute attack of appendicitis.

the home to exprvss their deep re
gret before 8 o'clock last evening.
The deceased was a man forty
three years of age and in the prime
of an active life. Born in Wavnes-
ville, N. C, he had a number of years
since engaged in business at Johnson
City, where he was well known.
.Some two years ago he removed to
this city and one year ago List Jan

cessful from the start.
Mr. Bruner seemed the picture of
health. He was large and appeared
robust, but recently attacks of indi
gestion and spells with his heart had
warned him of his failing health,
due possibly to his sedentary life.
IiCss than a month ago, he remarked
to Mr. J. .1. Ashe, who married Mrs.
Bruner's sister and who resides a
block distant, that he feared he
would live but a little while longer.
Mr. Bruner was a member and
regular attendant of the Broad Street
Methodist church and was a chris
tian gentleman in all his relations.
The funeral arrangements had not
been made last evening. The only
brother of the deceased, 0. W. Bru
ner, who resides at Monroe, N. C,
was w ired last night of the death.
and is expected to reach this city to
day.

Killed by Lightning.
Cliarlotte obarwr.
Mr. Will Broom, a well known
young farmer of the Antioch neigh
borhood of l nion county, was struck
by lightning late Thursday afternoon
and instantly killed. The facts in
connection with this unfortunate oc
currence are briefly these: Young
tiroom bad come in from his work
and just uahitched his mules. The
spring, that was commonly used as
the drinking place for the stock, was
some distance from the house and
the mules were carried there for wa
ter. As Mr. Broom was hurry inn
back to the house to escape the
threatening rain, a bolt of lightning
flashed suddenly towards the ground
and the young man fell instantly.
VY hen found be was dead and had
probably been so for some time. His
clothing had been torn into threads
and bis shoes were in tlie same con
dition. A knife and a 110 gold
piece that were in bis trouser pock
ets were found some 15 feet sway
from where he fell, having been
hurled there by the force of the
shock. There were no marks on the
young man's person other than a
small bruise on the side of the head.
His hair, however, was badly singed,
but other than this there was noth
ing to indicate what a terrible blow
the shock must have been.
The deceased was a native of
Union county and a young man of
promise. lie was the son of Mr. Jo
seph Broom and was unmarried.
The interment was made at the An
tioch church Fiiday.
