Hamlet. Jan. 14 A double mur der and suicide was enacted at the homo of Mrs. John Calvin Wiggins, about four miles south of Hamlet at 9 o'clock this morning, when Will Simons shct his wife and hla wife's mother Mrs. Wiggins, both instant ly, and afterwards shooting hlmsolf with the same gun. Simons married the daughter or Mrs. Wiggins about two months ago and they all lived at the sanw house From the Information receivea, m mans desired his wife to take atrip with him and upon her refusal he got the shotgun. The wife running from the house, he shot Mrs. Wig gins and, following his wife who was fleeing, killed her Instantly. Aftrr committing the double murder and deliberately reloading his gun, he took off his shoes and. pulling the trigger with his toes, blew out his own brains. Simons was originally from Geor gia. His wife's people have for years resided In this community. Pine street, held to the throttle of his etiglna on the A., T. & O. Kail- road, a few hundred yards beyond the station at Davidson College and was scalded to death, together wiih his fireman, Avery H. Wilson. Knglneer Curlee could have saved himself, but instead of jumping and escaping with a few bruises or per haps a broken limb, he stuck to his driver's seat and went to death in the scalding steam of his broken Injector pipe. Firemau Wilson was killed Instantly, being crushed be neath the .side of the boiler which crashed i'Uo the cut-bank. Those-! who hurried to Nie cccne tock .Mr. Curbe up ard carried him to the effice cf Dr. J. M. McC;nn: ll where he was given assistance by Drs. McConnell, W. H. Woolen and K. Q. Houston. Mr. Curlei was con scicus throughout the entire time up until l:3o o'clock when he died in the Presbyterian Hospital this city, where he had been rushed by a special train at the earliestl pos sible moment. STEAM SCALDED VICTIM. The steam from the broken in jeetor pipe struck him full la the face and literally scalded out both eyes. His face and breast was al tnest ccoked from the hot steam and yet he ws conscious. When he was carried to Doctor McDonnell's office he was ablo to recognize hiu friends by -their voices and he ask el the physicians; "Am I hurt very badly, doctor?' He was told that th?re was no chan.-e fcr him to recover anel re maining silent for a moment or two he replied. In quiet voice, but one in which his hearers knew he was unafraid, said: "I could have saved myselt bw Jumping, but 1 thought it was my duty to stick to my engine and save my passengers." There Is no doubt but that, h did everything possible to save his passengers and he doubtless did save them by sticking to his pi:-st cf duty, for the engine when ex auilned Was found In reverse. The emergency brake was set, the throt tle closed and the sand pipes were found open, showing that every pos sible safety device with which an engine Is equipped had been brought Into play to stop the train. ACCIDENT IN CUT. The accident occurred just beyond the station at Davidson College In a deep cut and on a left-turn curve, and th3 engine fell on the Inside of tho curve on the firrjnan s stele. Opin Ions as to the causa differ, though the most general one seems to he that Mr. Curlee, who was running some 40 minutes late, ws running faster than the usual schedule in an effort to bring his train In on time The track U not built for fast run ning nnd those on board seem to think that the pony trucks failed to take the curve and Jumped. The driving whe?ls followed the pony trucks and 1t was at this time that Englne-r Curlee jammed on the emergency brake, Bhut off the steam and reversed his engine while put ting on the sand. This was time eo.ou'ih to cost him his life, but It saved the train, for the passengers were not badly shaken by the rath er sudden stop. FIREMAN KILLED INSTANTLY. The. pony trucks carried the front of the engine Into the cut bank and th's naturally caused the re mainder of the train to be wedged the other way. The engine being pushed from behind by tho tender and the 'rest of the train, turned over and caught Fireman Wilson Under the boiler crushing out his life against the side of the cab. The breaking of the steem pipe on the Injector scalded him terribly. The weight cf the train rolled, the engine over down the tracks, the passengers stated, and the locomo tive was a complete wreck by the time It had stopped, being almost entirely stripped of the running gear and superstructure. The com bination car turned over on the slue of the curve also, being forced off the track that way when the engine wedged ft across to the Inside.
