yet his gentlemanly bearing and cour

spected and highly esteemed. He has
gone to his reward. Peace to his

J The best snake story we think of the
season comes out in the Winston Sen
tinel, and is as follows: " A little ten-year-old
son of Mr. James Spencer,
near Dunn, was bitten by a moccasin
last week on his foot. Shortly after
wards a live chicken was cut open and
applied to the foot that was bitten,
and five little snakes were thereby
drawn from the wound inflicted by the
snake. Mr. A. J. Turlington, of
A.verasboro, has the little snakes
now."

Frances Stephens,, colored, living up
on the premises of Mi J. R. Falls,
swore out a warrant against Reuben
2Tanfie, colored, living upon same
premises, charging him with having
committed an assault upon her person
With deadly weapons an ax and a fire
shovel striking her over the head and
knocking her down. Whereupon the
accused was arraigned before Esquire
E. L. Wilson last Wednesday, October
26, and sufiicient evidence being pro
duced to establish his guilt, he was, in
default of bail, committed to Dallas
Jail to await his trial at next term of
our Superior court.
Messrs. Craig & Jenkins have re
ceived from the Marvin Safe Co., New
York, a large and handsome safe,
weighing nearly three tons, for use in
their banking office. It is not only
fire-proof, but contains a spacious
combination burglar-proof iron and
steel vault, and it is certainly a very
fine piece of work, and a simple glance
at its complications will satisfy any
one that all money deposited in their
bank will not only be in safe hands,
but will be protected from the bur
glar's chisel. The safe is just from
the factory and is entirely new, having
been made to order. The cabinet work
is very complete and its every part is
very conveniently arranged.
Mr. Monroe Whitesides, living near
Pisgah, had the experience while in
Atlanta lust week of catching a bur
glar. It seems from report that Mr.
Whitesides, with two other gentlemen
whose names we do not know, had
gotten a room one night, but from
some cause or other could not lock it,
so they decided to take turns watching
through the night. Mr. Whitesides's
turn came some time in the night and
lie had not been lying awake long when
he heard some one gently open the
door and come into the room. Mr.
Whitesides quietly aroused his com
panions while their guest proceeded to
cautiously investigate the contents of
the room, but in the midst of bis in
vestigations he was suddenly inter
rupted by the click of a revolver and
the command to stand still. Mr.
Whitesides and his party then searched
him, but finding nothing of importance
on him, let him go free.

FGABFCL WRECK.
A Heavily Laden rreiffUt Train and
and Overloaded PawtiiRer Train
Kun Into Eacn Other Near Greer'
Station, S. C BotU Engines Com
pletely Wrecked Tnree Peraonii
Killed and Quite a Number Tt'ound
. ed. '
On Thursday, October 20, the east
bound passenger train due to arrive
here at 4.23 A. m., failed to come in.
At first, nothing special was thought
of the delay, as it was generally known
that the heavy rush of travel to and
from the Piedmont Exposition had in
terfered with the schedule time of
trains running out of Atlanta. Later
it was learned at the telegraph office
that there was a wreck on the road
somewhere west of here.
This information created much
apprehension, as there were quite
a number ef people from Gaston coun
ty and several from Gastonia, who
were visiting the Exposition and were
likely to return on any train. Later
information brought the welcome in
telligence that no one from this sec
tion of the country were hurt.
The wreck occurred about three
miles! west of Greer's Station. The
train was skimming along at its usual
rate of speed, and as it neared the end
of a cut, the headlight of the freight
train flashed upon the engineer, and in
a few moments the terrible crash
came. Engineer Wall, of the passen
ser train, realizing the danger and
knowing that a collision was inevita
ble, stuck to his post of duty, reversed
his engine, and applied the air brakes,
and his train had slowed down consid
erably when the freight crashed into
it. To this act of true heroism, in all
probably, is indebted the life of many a
passenger on the ill-fated train.
It is sad to chronicle the death of
Engineer Wall. Death is sad under any
circumstances, but when it comes to
one who, by heroic endeavor, is trying
to save the lives of others, and in do
ing so, loses his own, it reveals the
true greatness of the man, and opens
up within us those fountains of sor
mar 1 that such exhibitions of true
couraee. rarely ever fail to move.
Poor Wall; peace to his ashes!
Mrs. Hamp McDowell, of Asheville,
who -was riding in the Express car, was
cut completely in two and instantly
killed. J. L. Webster, fireman on the
freight train, was fatally Injured and
died in Spartanburg in the evening.
Phillip Black, colored, train hand, was
also fatally inj ured and has since died.
This, it is belie ved, will constitute the
total number of deaths tha t will result
from the wreck. Those who were se
verely wounded - are: J. B. Erwin,
Asheville; express messenger, left leg
broken and right foot mashed; Miss
Mary Erwin, Willie Erwin and Mamie
Erwin, of Asheville; Ed. Parnell, fire
man passen ger train, severely scalded
and bruised; Jas. Killian, Greenville;
W. R. Wilson and- S. M. Dykeman, of
Asheville. The postal agent was bad
ly hurt. -
The wreck was complete. The en
gines were completely demolished.
The mail car telescoped with the ex
press and both were torn to pieces.
To add to the hor rors of the situation,
the wrecked ca rs took fire, but by
the combined efforts of the passengers,
who discovered a lot of coal scuttles in
the freight train, which they used to
carry water from a branch near by, it
was distinguished.
The passenger train was in charge
of Conductor- Marshall and Engineer
Wall, and consisted of seven coaches,
loaded to the full, with people return
ing from the Exposition. The freight
train was in charge of Conductor Rev
ell and Engineer Joe Harris, son-in-
law of W. F. Snyder, of Charlotte.
Engineer Harris leaped from his en
gine and hid himself and it was
thought at first that he was killed in
the wreck. He returned to Charlotte
and remained there until Monday,
when an effort was made to arrest him
under a warrrant from the Coroner of
Greenville county, when it was discov
ered that he could not be found.
The cause of the wreck wras a mis
calculation on the part of Harris and
Revell as to the whereabouts of the
passenger train, which was running
four hours and twenty min utes behind
regular schedule time, and is the first
that has happened nnder a new system
of moving trains, which has been re
cently adopted on the R. & D. rail
road. Under the old system the movement
of trains were positive and concise,and
direct orders were given by the train
dispatcher " to meet and pass " at a
designated place. Under the new sys
tem conductors of opposing trains are
simply notified that the one delayed
will run so many hours and minutes
behind the regular schedule, and it be
comes the duty of train so notified to
arrange accordingly.
! As to whether the new system or the
old one is the best we are not prepared
to express an opinion. The Charlotte
Chronicle spins out a very plausible
theory upon which it lays the bulk of
the blame upon the railroad company
for putting the new system in force,
and only blames Harris and Revell for
making a miscalculation. Without
desiring to enter a controversy about
the matter, we, nevertheless, think
that the main point to consider was,
whether the order, notifying them that
the passenger train would run four
hours and twenty minutes behind time,
was sufficiently clear to convey to the
mind of any intelligent person what
was expected of them, and if so, the
A
burden of the miscalculation must
rest on the engineer and conductor of
the freight train. Of course, no one
will suppose-for a moment that there
was any intentional wrong committed
by Harris or Revell; but when we come
to consider their responsibility for neg
lecting to make a right calculation,
we spring a point about which there
will be a wide difference of opinion,
and which will have to j be settled by
the courts. , j "."''
It is roughly estimated that the loss
to rolling stock, and freight burned,
will reach $25,000. I Allowing another
$25,000 for payment of death losses, it
will be seen that from a monetary
standpoint the wreck is a serious af
fair. ' . I . ,. ,,
Cleveland in Anneville. j V
Last Friday is a day long to be re
membered by the citizens of Asheville,
for on that day they were honored by
a visit from that great and good man,
Grover Cleveland, and his beautiful
and accomplished wife.
", Promptly at 10.15, schedule time, the
Presidential train arrived at the depot,
and was met by thousands of people
from Western North Carolina, from
almost every county. j '
An escor.t of from 1,500 to 2,000 men,
partly formed of Knights of Labor and
all mounted on gay horses, formed the
special escort of the President, while a
large procession of ladies riding horse
back formed the special escort of Mrs.
Cleveland. The President and Mrs.
Cleveland were seated in a handsome
carriage in front, the remainder of the
Presidential party following in car
riages, accompanied by Sens. Vance and
Ransom, while a large procession num
bering many thousands brought up the
rear. j : : ('" '
The procession proceeded from the
depot to Battery Park Hotel, where a
short halt was made in front of the
hotel, where all the assembled thou
sands could see the President and par
ty and where they themselves could
feast their eyes on some of the grand
est scenery in North Carolina. j
From the hotel the procession passed
through the principal streets of the
city to Connelly's View, from which
prominence the party viewed for fif
teen minutes the grand ranges of
mountains that I spread out before
them. : ; 1 I
The train moved off to a point oppo
site them and they left, exhibiting the
greatest delight at the scenery and the
cordiality of the reception of the peo
ple. ; - j ---J.

"Washington; D. C, Oct 1 24.
The number of interesting cases be
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States probably has not been so large
for years as at the present time.
Among the number I may mention the
cases of the Virginia State officials,
who have been released under writs of
habeas corpus the trial being set for
hearine on the first Monday in No
vember; the appeal of the Chicago an
archists, whose counsel, Generals Rog
er A. Pryor and Benjamin F. Butler,
have applied for a writ of supercedes
to be heard next Thursday. Besides
these, there are a number of prohibi
tion cases all of which, the first nam
ed included, involve constitutional
questsoDs of the gravest import' to the
legal rights of the citizens. ; Hence,
their importance and the general in
terest that attaches to them.
Civil-Service is again to the front,
both in the departments, where exami
nation of the clerks has been resumed,
and in the public prints, where the di
vereine views ! of Civil-Service-Com
missioners Oberly and Egerton furnish
cm-rent topics of editorial comment
and private discussion. Mr. Edgerton
boldly takes issue with his colleague
on the position taken by him in regard
to the alleged illegality of Government
employes being j active members of po
litical associations, and asserts his be
lief that there is no good foundation

Secretary Bayard authorizes a denial
of the reportek difference between At

gravely stated that Secretary Bayard
would surely resign if the President
did not endorse his views.
During the past ! week, there was a
convention of agricultural colleges and
experimental stations in the United
States. This meeting was provided
for by a special act of Congress, with
the view of fostering progressive
methods and measures of farming and
increasing the producing capacity of
the the land in cultivation. The pro
ceedings of the convention were very
htirmnnioiis an d satisfactory, and its
desiberations will doubtless result in
great and lasting good to the agricult
ural interests of the country, j
The State Department has announc
ed the ratification ! of the extradition
treaty with Guatemela, which was
sent to the Senate j many years ago
during Grant's Presidency the last
clause being as follows: Neither
Government shall be required to give

tions of this convention. .' This
treaty is significant as showing a re
turn to the old Democratic doctrine of
firmly dealing with foreign nations.
The fact that Postmaster-General
Vila was the only member of the
President's Cabinet who accompanied
him on his late tour is considered of
grewt political significance in -some

the part of the gentleman named.
There are those who believe that Mr
Vilas has more ambitious designs"
that his real purpose is to place him

A special from Cleveland, Ohio,
says tnat uoverner x oraiter iu &u
dressing a Republican mass meeting
there devoted . himself mainly to
State issues and attacks upon Powell
and; the Democratic press : of the
State. He accused Powell of dodg
ing his own taxes and denied that he
had never advocated increasing taxes
on farm property. Referring I to
the ' rebel " flag question he said
that he had been accused of, keeping
alive the animosities of war, but
it was a lie. " We are fighting to
compel the Southerns," he" said,
"to remain in ihe Uuiou, to follow
the common flag to the common des
tiny. He spoke scathing of Presi
dent Cleveland, and declared that he
was "a copperhead stay at home,
who ought not to raise his Voice
about the rebellion." He fairly yelled
as he said: "I will talk about -war
recollections; They will not hurt
the feelings of any man whose heart
was in the right place during, that
bloody struggle: As for the rest
