The Disaster.

that occurred yesterday to the ezcur-
Railway. We regret to learn, since
the matter was in type, that Mr..
Calvin died yesterday afternoon, from
the effects of the Injuries he sustained,
and thlt Mr.. Alderman, at the last
accounts. was in a very critical condi-
tion. Everything possible has been
done for the sufferers, and Col. Ere
mont LETT here yesterday afternoon, on
a special train, for the scene.
The entire community was dread
fully shocked, and nothing was talked
of but the terrible disaster. We can
only hope that we have already heard
the worst
Mr.. Calvin, the engineer who per-
ished at his post, was not only faith
fui and efficient officer, but he was
one OF the most, clever gentlemen we
ever knew, and we speak this advised
ly, as we have many times ridden with
him on his engine over portions of the
road. He has many warm friends and
devoted relatives in this city, who are
deeply grieved at the distressing news
of his death. Col. Fremont, i'll a note
to us, says !:
John Calvin, that good engineer
and faithful servant, long in the ser
vice Of the Company, is dead, making

PROVISIONS-The provision mar
ket at home has been very steady with
fair demand from the consumptive
and export trade with liberal sales at
the quotations. At the West and
North the market has eased up slight
ly but the demand continuing good
there and very little reaction of prices
has occurred. The Cincinnati Price
Current says of the western market ::
The course of trade in this line dur
ing the past week has been the re-
verse of that of the week preceding.
This is accounted for partly by the
natural reaction from the advance
which tended to restrict consumptive
orders, and partly by the general an
ticipatiop that the offerings would be
large the last week of the month, when
the deliveries on contracts came to be
made, and consequently speculative
buyers have been holding off. This
has resulted in decline of / to per
lib on bulk meats and bacon, but mess
pork and lard have been held very
firmly, for stocks of these articles are
concentrated in few hands and are so
light as to be easily controlled, and
although the demand for them has
been small, scarcely more than what is
required for current consumption
holders seem to have full confidence in
values being sustained, with strong
hopes of p further advance. The for
eign exports from the seaboard ports
were considerably less than for the
corresponding week last year, and this
has also had some influence in the
downward turn, but there is strong
undertone to the market, and at even
small concessions from current prices
there are buyers for round lots of
meats, for the confidence of the trade
in the final outcome has not been
shaken, but only a disposition exists
to take advantage of the temporary
decline to buy in at as low price as
possible.
The following are the ruling
quotations III the provision mar
ket North Carolina Bacon sells
at 9@10 cents for shoulders, 12G912I
cents for sides, 12012! cents for hog
round and 15@16 cents for hams. We
quote Western Smoked at S!@6f cents
for shoulders, HOLE cents for sides,
and 15@16 cents fox hams. Dry Saltc3

Distressing iniaoss having been
!, prevalent for some i:ours past, I've have
used every endenycr 10 obtain articG

train Oh tie Carolina Central Ia lw;y,
Ell route from Pul!itou to this CITY, had
been w:eck-d, and that Il great mary
had been badly Injured. a telegram
received here during the forenoon
from Laurinburg stated tnat Mr. John
Calvin, the engineer, had both legs
broken and lis skull fractured. bit
this, we have since ascertalned, IS
probably incorrect.
OF course we used every endeavOr to
hear from the wreck, but failed. The
operators at Lilesville and Rocking
ham had both gone to the scene,
which is between the two stations, and
about five miles this side of Lilies
vile. Finally, about 2! o'clock, Nj.
Barnes, the Lilesville operator, tap
ped the wires with q pocket instru-
ment at the wreck, and communication
was opened but, for some as yet unex
planned reason, the press was not al

to the excursion train due here this
afternoon. This accident occurred, it is
said, about 5 miles east of LiIesville.
The train was wrecked and three ne
groes were killed outright. Capt.
Wooten, the Conductor. is severely
and painfully, but not dangerously
injured by bruises on the side; our
friend, Tommy Alderman, we regret
to state, is severely injured, and the
engineer, Mr. Calvin, was slightly
scalded. Besides this there were a
number of other persons, passengers,
some ten or twelve in number, I'M ured,
more or less, by the accident.
We could not ascertain anything as
10 the cause Of the accident, but it is
generally rumored that it was caused
by run off.
