WMEKK THE WEECK OCCUSJIED.
It is what raiLoad men caO a
"pur," and can only be entered by
the North-bound train. The north
end oi the siding terminates
abruptly on a trestle over a small
creek. The switch '- was misplaced
and the engine turned out on the
spar and reaching the end of the
track plunged down to the creek
bed, carrying fourteen cars with it.
Arf eoackino the fated- spot.
Engineer W .A. Kinney was at the
throttle and fireman H. A. Adams

the forward end of the box car next

between his knees began to eat the
lunch given turn by the engineer,

The sense of the impending disas

moment, and he leaped from the en
gine, at the same time shouting to
the fireman to Jump. Before the fire
man could realise the situation, the

employed: at the Tredegar - Iron
Works. He may recover. The en
gineer was but slightly hurt The
body of the brSkemsn Is believed to
have been burned with the cars.
The fireman exhibited wonderful
presence of mind, and talked to the
men while they were working to get
him out. He was sent on to Dan

TO WEECE A PABSEX6EE TEAlM.
The switch is believed to have
been turned for the purpose

SALE OF BLOCKADE. . r
One HeBdr4 sat Fifty OaDoos f Bog
Juice Put ap in Banar Kits.
Wadsworth's stable is a place
where horses and vehicles are kept
and wliere occasionally some sharp
horse trades take place. Today,
however, the stable was the scene of
a biff sal of illicit "spirits." The
wagon load of the blockade captured
at Sugar Creek church by the reve
nue officers, several weeks ago, was
disposed of to the highest bidder.
The wagon, team and blockade
belonged to Messrs. Christopher
Lowe and J. D. Fraxier, and the
whole outfit was sold. The sale was
under the management of General
Deputy George W. Means. The
owners oi the confiscated property
bid in ths team and wagon, and the
fire water, consisting of Ijo gallons
of mountain dew corn and apple
brandy, was knocked down to s syn
dicate of saloon men. TheUockaders
had got as far ss Charlotte from their
mountain home, and anybody who
might have looked into their wsgoa
would hsve supposed that it 1
landed with butter, for. nothing bat
butter kits were to be sees. WVs
the"' wsgoi" "reached Sugar 'Creek
there sprang p an an usual demand
for batter in that neighborhood, and
crowds hung around the wagon all
dav. It waa noticed that some of
them went away carrying their butter
in lugs. The revenue men heard of
k and captured the whole layout,
except on old man, who out
trotted the whole crowd. One of
the butter kits was tapped, and a fine
si-tide of corn ran out
