ALBANY, Oct. 20.-The.city was thrown
into great excitement this morning BY q
report that Governor Cleveland had been
assaulted while on his way from the EA.
ecutive Mansion to the Capitol. some re.
ports bud it that he had been fatally
wounded. These reports spread with
marvellous rapidity and soon hundreds
throngcd to the Capitol and sought out
the Governors room to inquire as to the
foundation for the, rumors and the condi.
tion OF the Governor. AS is usually. the
case, there was slight foundation for the
rumors upon which the superstructure q
fiction had been built in passing from
mouth to mouth. Stripped of all EN-
bellishments the facts are substantially as
follows: ,5'-,''7-.;, SEQ -''.'1s1''S =
Last Monday Boone reappeared with
his wife. Mrs. Boone went into the Execu

in the ante room. She became excited
and violent in her language, and the GOV.

the blow was struck, and requested tha,
the woman be removed. He rose and she
sat down. Then she fell to the floor Ia

removed her across the street to house
where she was treated. She has been

To the Voter. of Anderson Count,

W.
We have read with regret the card Of
Col. J. N. Brown, in which he says he is
no longer candidate for seat in our
State Legislature.
In our judgment, the people could
send no man in this County to the Legis-
lature who could do more good for the
whole people than Col. Brown. We con-
slider him an honest and able christian
gentleman, and one who understands the
condition and needs Of our County and
State, and one who has the ability to rep
resent his fellow-citizens well in every
particular. He can do as much or more
to correct the evils now existing in our
laws, and to help make better and more
wholesome ones to meet the wanGs of the
people, as any man that can be elected.
We are all yitally interested in having
men elected to the next Legislature who
are good fnanciers, 80 as to be able to
make the best arrangements about the
future settlement of our State debt, with
out greatly increasing our already high
taxes. Also men who will guaro against
excessive appropriations for the State
House, Canals and other things which
will come before them.
We know of no man in the County who
could and would meet these demands,
and fight for low taxes with greater abil-
ity and foresight than Col. J. N. Brown.
If you want low taxes send some men
to the Legislature who are large tax pay.
ers themselves, for it is human nature for
them to advocate and fight for low taxes
with more vigor than the men who pay
little or none. For these, and many
other reasons, it is to be hoped, and the
voters of Anderson County are earnestly
solicited, to support and elect Col. Brown,
notwithstanding his withdrawal. We
feel satisfied that if he is called by the
people, he will ably serve them.
Let it be said, in fact, that this time the
Office has sought the man and not the
man the Office.
MANY MEMBERS OF BELToN CLUE.

ANOTHER RESCUE FROM DEATH.-ln 1881
while sewing on machine, my Wife was
taken with severe pain in her side, which
was soon followed by hemorrhages from
her lungs, severe cough, fever, and she
could neither eat or sleep, and in few
weeks she was reduced to living skeleton:
Her stomach refused to retain any food, and
the physician thought one of her lungs was
entirely gone. At final consultation OF
two physicians her case was pronounced
hopeless. l tried Brewers Lung Restorer
by advice of one of the physicians, and she
began to improve after the third dose. She
continued the medicine, and is now in !e1-
cellent health, and is better than she has
been in several years. believe Brewers

Tho City Council.

Th, new City Council was sworn in
last Friday and Immediately took the
reins of the city government in hand.
The old Council left the treasury empty.
With this fact in view, the new Council
determined; in order to keep out of debt
as much as possible, to cut down e1-
penses. Accordingly, the hrst step in this
direction was reduction of the salaries
of the various officers in their employ,
amounting in the aggregate to $550.oo a
year. The following officers were then
elected:
Clerk and Treasurer-W. 8. Brown.
Chief of Police-Joseph r. FAINT.
1st Assistant Policemsn-R. F. Nc
Kinney.
2nd Assistant Policeman and Engineer
of Fire Department-C. G. Cummings.
3rd Assistant Policeman and Street
Ovsrseer-F. A. Spellman.
These gentlemen were in the employ OF
the old Council, and their retention by
the new Council shows that they are eff.
cient, reliable and trustworthy officers.
Mayor Tolly then announced the fol-
lowing standing committees:
On Streets-J. M. Payne, J. L. Farmer
and F. M. Murphy.
Ways and Means-B. F. Mauldin, ]. 8.
Fowler and j. L. Farmer.
Health-Foster FAINT, B. T. Mauldin
and F. NJ. Murphy.
Fire Department.. 8. Fowler, Foster
FAINT and ]. NJ. Payne.
The new Council will necessarily be re-
stricted in their public work until after
the next taxes have been collected, but
no public enterprise in which the city is
interested will be permitted to lag.

A Train Wrecked.

The up.passenger train was wrecked at
point about FIVE miles gbelow this city,
near Broadway trestle, last Friday night.
It was the day set apart for the grand
Summer excursion from the low-country
to the mountains, and there were between
two and three hundred passengers aboard.
On account Of the heavy load the train
had gotten an hour or two behind time.
The greater portion of the track be-
tween Belton and Broadway trestle is Of
the old fange iron laid upon stringers.
Engineer Carter was in charge Of the
train, which was composed Of six cars,
and, knowing that he was off Of the
schedule, moved along very cautiously
over this portion of the Road, running,
he thinks, at the rate OF about fifteen
miles an hour. He felt his engine strike
what he believed 10 be q ''snake head" q
term applied to loose joint. The engine
and mail car passed over safely, but
when the smoking car struck it the crash
came, and in twinkling of an eye the
smoking car together with the four pas
senger cars were wrecked. The South
side of the track for the whole length OF
the wrecked cars was torn almost COM
pletely away. One pair of trucks OF each
car, at one or the other end, were dis
placed and that end thrown to the ground.
The cars were thrown almost across the
track, in zigzag shape, though remain
ing intact and not turning over. The
passengers were considerably shaken up,
but, strange to say, not single ono was
hurt.
AS soon as Conductor Smith found that
no one was injured, he dipatched the en-
CINE and mail car to this city, where he
obtained four box cars and returned to
the wreck.
The news soon spread over the city,
and quite crowd gathered at the depot,
all eager to learn the particulars of the
wreck, as several of our citizens were ex-
pecting friends on the train.
We returned with the train to the scene.
Arriving there we found the passengers
setting around camp fires, patiently wait
ing, and doubtless feeling thankful that
they had made such a narrow escape.
Their countenances, however, indicated
plainly that they would not venture soon
on another excursion. As we viewed the
wreck We were more than puzzled that no
one was injured. Indeed, it seemed as II
Providence had taken special care OF
them. 1t was simply remarkable thatno
one was hurt. We doubt if the like has
ever occurred before.
The passengers and baggage were soon
transferred, and the train on its way
again, arriving here between 12 and 1
o'clock.
Conductor Smith, who, by the way, ia
one of the best officers in the employ OF
the Company, was cool and solf-possessed,
and was untiring in his efforts to make
the passengers comfortable.
The construction train was ordered to
the scene Immediately that night, and by
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1884-08-21

dark Saturday afternoon the wreck had
been sufficiently cleared to allow the reg
ular train to pass.
1t is said by those who know that this
is the third accident which has occurred
near this same place within the past sew
eral years. To so there and look at that
old flange iron one would be surprised
that there are not more trains wrecked.
The Company should take all this old
1ange iron up and replace it with more
modern rails as soon as possible.
