Brown, jr;? Saturday afternoon, left for Concord Saturday evening at 8:30 o'clock and were met at their horns by a tremendous crowd. Both will resume their former businesses. The signers of the two bond which were for 125,000 each were Messrs. W. R. Odell,J. P. Alli son, P. P. Allison, P. B. Fetzer A. Jones Yorkes, L. T. Harsel and Drs. Houston and Burleyson. Judge Brown's written decis ion, which was filed with Clerk of the Court J. Frank McCubbins, was as follows: "State vs. Chalmers and Thos. wnite.--ce two prisoners were brought before me, acting as a committing magistrate ana upon a writ of habeas -corpus, charged with the murdar of one Russell Sherrill. The evidence was taken in full. The prisoners have not as yet been indicted by a grand jury or committed by a justice of the peace, but surrendered themselves to the sheriff of Rowan county. I have carefully considered all the evidence, and am of the opinion that the defendants 'must be 'held to await the action of the grand jury at next term of Superior Court. In view of the conflict in the evidence upon the question of premeditation and deliberation (a necessary element in murder in the first degree), and in especial view of the evidence of several medical experts as to the probable serious effsct of close confinement in county jail upon the health of these defendants, I am of opinion that the ends cf justice will be fully met by admitting the defend ants to .bail. V .Imprisonment before convie-i tion or indictment is justifiable when necessary to secure the pres et c a cf the accused at trial. I am fully convinced that a sufficient bond will accomplish that beyond doibt a3 to these defendants. It is ordered that each Iefendnt give hend ia twenty five thousand dol lars for his appearance at the No vember term of Rowan Superior Court with usual condiUons. Each bond must have two sureties at least, and to be approved by the e'erk of the Rowan court. The defendants are committed to jail until this order is complied with. "G. H. Bkown, Jk , Judge. !

TOM bLaiB. i . - . . . - j , Ths keenest grief is felt among his many Salisbury and Spencer friends over the death of Capt. Tom Blair, of Spencer, the unfor tunate conductor who met his death in the wreck. About five years ago he lost his position on theroad o l account of a mistake in readinsr orders and wa9 only re . . . . i stored to duty twelve months four months ago. 'He was a native of Asheboro, Bandolpn ; county, and was a careful railroader. During the interval of his dismissal and re employment by the Southern he was' mayor of East! Spencer5 and was engaged in business there. He was generally liked and his popu larity was not-onfiped to railroad men.

' - Fireman Clapp was a native of Whitsett, North Carolina, but had been running from Spencer to Monroe for the past two years. He was unmarried. '' CAUSE OF WRECK. It was generally believed that the wreck was due to the fast rate of speed at which Engineer Broady was running. Mr. Broady had only bten oc this division a few weeks and was not resularl v on he fast mail run, this being his fcrst trip on this tram. At the restle the curve angfe is 60 degrees and a board is displayed designi ng the speed limit pf 'passenger fi-eights to 15. ' Mr, Broady probably inadvertant to the danger of the point and did not check bis speed. A SUPPLIED CREW. Had the crew that was due to bring in No. 97 made a regular run Engineer Gary and Conductor J. M. Small would have been in charge. No. 37 was run in two sec ond yesterday movning,however, they were called out; on the second section. Capt. Blair left his home at Spencer on a light engine at 3 o'clock- 3'esterday morning, the design of engine used on No. 97 being unavailable at Monroe. special to sun Washington, D C., Sept. 28. Vice President Finly, of the Southern Railway on being inter viewed this morning regarding the accident to train No. 97 in the vi- inity of Danville yesterday 6aid: The train consisted of two postal cars, one exprcs3 car, one baggage car for the storage of mail. I The restle is very little damaged, as he rain j amped the track about forty feet north of the trestle on sound track, good line, surface and proper gauge. The trestle was in first class condition and was so well braced that the engine and train falling on the outside of this curve knocked ' down the outside posts and left the others standing. Sye witnesses report .that the rain was approaching the trestle at rats of speed of thirty to thir ty-five miles per hour, i The loss of life and the personal injury are very much regretted. The cause of the'accident is being investigat ed. The trestle was promptly re paired and the first train passsing was at 9 o'clock this morning. Fish! Fresh ffah received every day at W. A.
