Accident on the Charleston and Sac
vannah Raflway-NO One Serious
Iy Injured.

The passenger train which left Charles
ton on Monday afternoon at $40. and which
was due in Savannah at 1910 o'clock the
same night, met with serious accident,
though fortunately attended with no loss Of
life. In crossing the bridge over the Ashe-
poo river, about forty-two miles from
Charleston, the train jumped the track and
the engine plunged through the trestle, but
was jammed by the timbers and prevented
from going into the river, and the
balance of the train kept on the track. The
weather was exceedingly disagreeable,
and as may be expected the condition of the
passengers was far from pleasant, but they
had to bear their misfortunes and tribula-
tions with equanimity, Conductor Slawson
doing everything in his power to render
them comfortable. The passenger train
which left Charleston at $40 g. m. yester
day, aud due here at 1890 p. m, WAS of
course delayed by this accident, the road
being INSTRUCTED.
No passengers on the first train sustained
any injury, though the engineer, James
Wilkerson, was severely stunned, and a
colored fireman named Sanders was very
painfully bruised, but had no bones broken.
The damage to the train, beyond that suS-
tanned by the engine, was not very great,
and the damage to the road will be re-
paired in time for the passage of the train
which leaves Savannah at six o'clock this
morning.
The passenger train for Charleston, which
left here at 6 a. m. yesterday, reached the
scene Of the wreck on time. The passen-
gers and baggage destined south were
transferred to the Savannah train. and those
bound for Charleston and the North were
transferred to the morning passenger train
from Charleston.
The detention Of the two trains gave rise
to numerous rumors in the city, and oc-
casioned some anxiety, especially among
several strangers from the North who were
expecting friends on the train, and frequent
inquiries were made at the ticket Office and
at the depot for news. In Charleston, as
we learn from telegram, it was reported
| that the engine had gone through the bridge
and that engineer Wilkerson and two col
| ored firemen had been killed. Happily, as
| previously stated, such was not the case.
The delayed trains reached the depot here
| about five O'Clock, the passengers on the
train meeting the accident having been on
the road in the cold and rain for twenty
| four hours, aud were pretty hungry and
| thoroughly exhausted. but soon forgot their
troubles when comfortably housed and ac-
commodated at the hotels
The regular schedule will be resumed to-
| day, there being no train from here yester-
| day afternoon.

Bales Floating Down the River
Recovery of a Number at Tybee.

On Monday night, between ten and eleven
O'Clock, lighter, laden with cotton, was
towed by tug from the city to the ships
Success and Adolphus, which were lying at
Venus Point waiting to complete their car
goes. The lighter had on board some six
hundred bales of cotton, and Just as she
reached the side of the Success, a sudden
swerve caused her to careen greatly, and
about one hundred and thirty bales were
tumbled into the river, and the tide running
out, the bales were soon floating down the
placid waters to the ocean. In the dark
ness and confusion incident to the accident,
it was impossible to secure the bales at the
time.
Yesterday morning, about u o'clock, the
residents on Tybee Island were surprised to
observe a fiotilla of cotton bales sweeping
rapidly down the river, and prompt meas
ures were taken to secure them. Mr.. Henry
Falleau, the telegraph operator at the Ty-
bee station, succeeded in recovering
thirty-One bales, and Mr. Yoaues
secured about eight bales. 1t Is probable
that number of bales were carried out to
sea before the discovery was made by par
ties on the island, as nearly twelve hours
had elapsed from the time the cotton was
tumbled into the river at Venus Point to
the time it was seen passing by Tybee light.
small fishing schooner was seen during
the CAV moving about, and it is supposed
she was picking up cotton. A small schoo-
ner which came up to the city last night had
lot Of cotton on board, probably secured
on the way up. The cotton Is fully insured
1t will be seen by notices elsewhere that
rewards are offered by the Masters of the
ships Success and Adolphus for the recovery
of the cotton.

DR.. Corsoa,s second Lecture.

Professor Hiram Corson delivered his sec
ond lecture last evening on '.The Poetry Of
Alfred Tennyson," at the lecture room Of
the Independent Presbyterian Church, in
stead OF at the Masonic Temple, as st first
announced, the change having been made
on account of the impossibility of properly
heating the latter building. As we pre-
dicted it proved really an in
tellectual treat It was characterized
by great research and learning, and evinced
8 thorough study of the works of the
British poet laureate. The "IdYls of the
kingn was dwelt on ct length by the dis
tinguished lecturer, and the allegory yelled
under that poem, together with the wonder
full genius of its author, were beautifully
and clearly portrayed in the choicest Eng
fish.
We are sorry that the attendance was so
small. This was probably due, however, to
the failure to give publicity to the change
Of the place OF delivery of the lecture.
The Young Mems Christian Association
deserve great credit fer their efforts to
give US a series of lectures OF the character
OF those Of DIR. Corson-lectUTes at once
chaste, entertaining and instructive, and
calculated to excite in our community a
cultivated taste for intellectual entertain

Capturing an Eatire Crew The
Game DOnst work.


Game DOnst work.
Yesterday morning Captain Dayton, Of
the schooner B. j. Hazard, lying at the
wharf OF the Savannah, Florida and West
ern Railway, was surprised to find that his
entire crew had mysteriously disappeared,
| and at once interviewed the cook, who was
on board. That individual at first affected
| ignorance, but the prefer Of small stipend
induced him to reveal what he knew. He
| told Captain Dayton that his men were on
board vessel lying near them which was
about ready to sail, and that he would find
| them In the hold. Captain Dayton had pre-
viouslY had social intercourse with the mas
| ter of the vessel referred to, aud was pre-
| possessed with him, and felt assured that
| he could not have sought TO lure his crew
| away. he visited the vessel and made GER
tain INQUIRIES, however, and the evasiVe re-
| plies he received aroused his suspicious.
| He accordingly determined to invoke the
| aid of the law, and coming up to the city
/ had a warrant issued by a Magistrate for
| his seamen on the charge of desertion. The
| warrant was placed in the hands of officers,
| who visited the vessel and made for
NAL demand for the men, which was not
| complied with. The officers then made
the missing sesmen of the Hazard slowed
| away in the hold. They were arrested,
taken before the Magistrate and committed
| to jail.
| Captain Dayton then intimated to his
| false friend, the master Of the other vessel,
| that he knew something OF maritime law,
and proposed to apply it to him for thus
| seeking to euchre the Hazard of her crew.
| The other becoming alarmed, we are inform
| ed, agreed to hand over to Captain Dayton
| about $500 in compensation for the
| trouble occasioned and in consideration Of
the matter being dropped, and thus was the
affair settled. 1t seems that Capt. Dayton
had engaged his crew in New York for the
round trip at SIS per month, and had paid
them their advance. The other vessel being
| ready to clear, it is supposed her Captain
| had offered the HszZard's crew an increase,
which was accepted, and proposed to con-
ceal them in the hold until the vessel had
| got off.
