switch was evidently thrown open
by some boys playing around the
yards, as the yard crew here had
passed over the track just a few
minutes In'fore, when it was prop
erly set for the main line. The
colored switchman, Sam Greer,
had not, however, locked the
switch to the main line, hence the
boys could move it. Two boys
were seen only a little while le
of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stover, aud fore tampering with another switch

Crisp then made a second speech
elaborating and emphasizing his
position.
Mr. Nichols then spoke on the
negative side, taking practically
the same ground occupied by his
colleague and also quoting many
bible passages, applying them lit
erally and emphasizing his argu
ments by strong and forceful lan
guage. All the speeches were in
terespersed with qaick reparte and
bright witty remarks, whieh were
heartily enjoyed and vociferously
applauded by the large audience.
The committee of judges retired
and after much deliberation re
turned a decision in favor of the
aflermative, at the same time com
plimenting the arguments of the
negative highly.
The occasion was so successful
and entertaining in every partieu

have the discussion repeated here

question with anybody at any time,
at Railey's Camp and while they

The Debate.
As was anticipated, the debate
last Saturday night, IMween the
Railey's Camp and Ree Mountain
1 J J A 1
uenaung societies, was one oi int
mast enjoyable affairs of the kind
ever held here.
Owing to rcligeous services Ik1
ing conducted in the court house,
the debate was held in the Odd
Fellows Hall, which was kindly
donated for the purpose.
Promptly at eight o'clock a good
crowd of ente rested listeners had
assembled and a little later every
available seat was occupied and
many persons stood or sat on the
lloor. Two of the Railey's Camy
speakers, Mr. W. L. Harman am
George Nichols were on hand
ready for the contest, while the
Ree Mountain club, had only one
representative, Joseph 1). Crisp
Mr. W. C. Crisp, the other debater
of that club failing to get here.
It was agreed under the circum
stances that Mr. Crisp should have
two speeches, while the other gen
tlemen had one each.

Thoraasvill, X. C, Oct. !.".
Yesterday afternoon, five miles
southeast of here, near Hopewell
church, a fearful epxlosion occured
at the sawmill of Cicero aud mav-
nor Kennedy. As they were saw
inc logs suddenly the boiler explod-
d. Albert Consius, the fireman,
aud Maynor Kennedy were stand
ing near the boiler at the time-
Maynor was blown forty feet away
and was terribly scanded. Cousins
was knocked down, badly scalded
and the base of his skull lractured
and is still unconcious. It in feared
that he w ill die. Two other men
were working at the mill but
escaped unhurt. The boiler was
blowa forty feet from where it was
stationed. The engine was totally
demolished, pieces of it bieng
blown about four hundred yards
awav. The cause of the explosion
is supposed to have been a defect
in the bottom ef the boiler. Sparks
ot lire set the woods on lire more
than one hundred yards away.
This is the most awful aceident of

A Meditation.
Christian Advocate.
The writer a little while ago sat
in an old church. A doubly sacred
place to him, for it was in part
built by his ancestors aud for gen
erations they had worshipped there
It was r very sad mission which
brought him there that day' and
memories of the distant past came
rushing through his mind. Away
back vonder in his earliest child
hood he sat in that same seat by
the side of his mother and listened
as her father proclaimed the word
of truth. And then he had attend
the Sabbath School there and re
ceived instruction from a teacher
ong since gone, but ne'er forgot;
and then in after years he stood at
the altar of that church and took
the solemn vow to lead a holy life.
Many years have come and gone
since then, and varied have beeu
the changes which these vears have
brought. Nearly all who worship
ed there it those early days have
gone the way of all the earth, and
now he finds the people now and
strange. The cemetery, which
almost smrroHnds the chureh, is
filled witn graves, many of which
contained those he knew and
loved, aud whose hallowed influe
nee has made such an impress for
good upon his life. Thoughts sad
aud solemn tilled his heart as he
lingered there and meditated upon
the sacred past. And it was all
the mere a sad experience on ac.
couut of a sorrow fresh aud sore
which weighed upon his heart.
There was comfort though and
peace amidst it all because the
Christ had said, "1 am the resurec
tion and the life." That glourious
truth or the lite lievond gives us
strength and hope in the darkest
hour. And while we are all hasten
ing on we know that some sweet
dav wr shall see and know as we
cannot now.
Savagery of Indians.

Winnipeg, Man., Oct 17.
That indian taibes living within
a few hundred miles of Winnipeg
have reverted to the most brutal
savagery was brought oat at the
trial of chieftains of the Salteux
tribe just ended at the Hudson
Bay Company's fort at Norway.
Sick and helpless members of the
tribe were strangled and burned at
the stake for no reason than to re-
leve their relatives ot caring for
them.
Chief Joseph Pesequan was con
victed of murder and sentenced to
death. Chief Jack, of the Sucker
baud of the same tribe, strangled
himself to death in his cell the
night before the date set for his
trial .
Two brothere named Eae ara in
jail at Norway House, awaiting
trial for several murders.
Eyelids, a brave of the Crane
band, gave sesatioaal testimony,
specifically describing five strang
ulation and burning in whieh he
participated. In one instance the
strangulation was not complete and
and the victum was placed on a
platform over a huge fire, where
he was slowlv roasted to death.
After the execution of Chief
Joseph, Eyelids will be sent back
to the North to tell his tribesmen
what happens to stranglcrs.
