A Pitiful Catastrophe.

AUGUSTA, August 4.-Last night about
/ o'clock Mr.. John B. Carter, a we'll
known citizen of Augusta, was awakened
by mosquitoes under his net. He got up,
lit kerosene oil lamp, went back to the
bed and began to brush out the mosqui-
toes. While doing this he struck his foot
against something and stumbled. The
lamp was broken against the bedpost and
the hot oil, falling on Mr.. Carter, took
fire and burned fercely. In q moment
he was completely enveloped in the
flames. His cries aroused his wife, who
made every effort to extipguish the
flames, and in this she was soon assisted
by other members of the family and
neighbors who rushed in. When, how.
ever, the fire was finally put out it was
found that Mr.. Carter was horribly burn.
ed. His entire body in fact was burned
to crisp and he suffered terrible agony
until he died, about o'clock this morn.
ing, retaining consciousness to the last.
Mr.. Carter was 60 years of age and a
prominent citizen of Augusta. He was
for several years member of the drug
firm of Barrett & Carter, and at the time
of his death was bookkeeper for j. n.
Alexander, druggist. he was much
liked and esteemed.

Grant as q Historian.

I found Gen. Grant in his library,
among mass of papers and books, hard
at work on his History of the Siege of
Vicksburg, one of series of works on
the civil war, which, when finished, will
doubtless give to the world an impartial
and thorough history of that great epoch
in our nations life. So buried was be in
his work that when began talking with
him his answers were in military style;
but he~afterwards spoke as earnestly as
if he were giving an order just before
some great battle. By and by he quieted
down and related an incident of the
siege before entirely unknown to me. In
a we'll modulateG tone he said in his own
Characteristic way:
"The order was given to fire the mine
and Immediately after the fuse blazed
brightly. The next instant terrific ex-
plosion occurred and human beings were
seen to shoot high into the air. Some of
them fell to the earth fearfully maugled,
while others, wonderful it is to relate,
fell back alive, but with terrible wounds.
Among those who escaped death was
robust colored man who had been en-.
gagged on the Confederate side as miner.
He was in the mine at the time the order
to fire was given, but had not reached
deep enough when the explosion took
place, and, in consequence, be was blown
high into the air. He fell on pile of
earth unhurt. He was first taken into
my headquarters, where he gave the off,
GERS present full information aoout the
construction and location of the Confed-
crate shaft and his experience while in
the air. When asked how far he thought
he had gone up he said: "Oh, Lord O.
massa, 1 went up bout three to FIVE
miles, but I done thank the Lord He
landed me within the Yankee lines"
Here the great soldier laughed as
heartily as if the incident had occurred
only yesterday. was very glad to find
him in such a cheerful mood, as his late
business troubles must have worried him
considerably. He is forgetting them
now, think. He has finished the Battle
of Shiloh and he will soon write, from q
strictly impartial standpoint, an account
of Lees surrender at Appomattox.-

A Train Runs Away Down the Noun
tain.

Last Monday afternoon, 4th inst, an
accident of very thrilling nature oc.
Cured on the Ducktown branch of the
Western North Carolina Railroad, re-
sulting in the wreck of construction
train, the destruction of trestle and the
death of Conductor Wynn, who was in
charge of the train at the time of the
accident, aud who refused to jump from
the moving cars as all the others did.
Our information is that on the evening
in question a material train was slowly
ascending a steep grade up mountain
side, and when about midway up the
grade coupling pin broke, or bumper
pulled out, detaching the train from the
engine. The train was heavy one, and
the moment it broke loose from the en-
CINE it commenced wild runaway down
the mountain side. The force OF con.
struction hands, the brakemen and train
hands leaped from the train as it started
down the mountain and all escaped un.
hurt. Only one man remained on the
fying train, and he was the heroic Cap
tain Wynn, the conductor Of the train,
who leaped to a brake wheel and bent
his every energy to check the speed OF
the train by the application Of the brake.
But his efforts proved unavailing. at
each revolution of the wheels the speed
of the train increased. 1t was a thrilling
spectacle to see the runaway cars streak
ing down the iron pathway with one
solitary man on board-the courageous
Wynn, his back bent to the brake wheel
and his hair streaming in the wind. a
short distance down the road was trestle
spanning stream, and it was here that
disaster overlook the train and its occu-
pant. Just as the cars ran on the trestle,
the wheels jumped the track and in an
| instant the trestle was demolished and
the cars tumbled one upon the other IN
q general wreck. The train hands real
lied what had occurred as soon as they
heard the crash, and they fastened in
the direction of the trestle to find that
all was a wreck. The first thought was
for Capt. Wynn, and they set to work at
once in the endeayor to rescue him from
the debris, but it was some time before
his body was reached. He was found
under one of the cars and when pulled
out was still alive, but hopelessly crushed
and bruised. Both his legs were broken
badly, the fractures extending almost tc
his hip joints, and thele were othel
bruises and contusions about his body
The physicians, who we're quickly sum
moned, pronounced his injuries fatal
He was carried to house near by where
every attention was paid him until his
death, which occurred few hours after
wards. Charlotte Observer.

FELL THROUGH A TRAP.
The Ridiculous Position of Two Promi.
nent Men.

Judge William Carter, of Sheboygan,
and Judge Caswell Marks, of Selma,
were both natives of Lexington, Ky. In
boyhood they had jammed the same cats
head into the same milk pitcher, stolen
peaches from the same tree, got trounced
by the same farmers, were otherwise en-.
viously intimate friends, afterwards
chums at college and then errand boys in
the same Office. Later in life they parted
and rose to sublime honors in their sep
arate places. Last January they met for
the first time since their parting, in Lex.
ipgton, and brewed convivial bowl in
honor of the event. About midnight,
full of affection and enthusiasm, they re-
tired in the same bed. 1t was huge
affair, standing in the middle of the room
and capable of being drawn up by ropes
to the ceiling while the room was being
cleaned. 1t was very cold night and
they placed their clothing upon the foot
of the bed. Just after they fell asleep
four friends entered softly, drew the bed
by the ropes nearly to the ceiling, and
left them thus suspended about ten feet
from the floor. They then locked the
door outside and retired.
at 8 a. m. Judge Carter woke with
that species of thirst which usually comes
after Kentucky punck and technically
known as "hot coppers." Leaping light
ly out of bed to get the ice pitcher, he
went whirling down ten feet, alighting
with soul-stirring thump on all fours.
There was long and painful pause.
Then he peered up and through the
darkness and called:
"Caswellw
mo reply.)
"Oh, Caswellw
feeble cries.)
"Cazw
"Eh?-ura? ?-whatw The Judge was
| awakening.
"I'ye fallen through a trap!" yelled
the now ightened Judge, "get up and
light a candlep'
"Where are you?" asked Judge Car.
ter, sleepily, framing his opinion thst his
honorable brother was drunk.
"Down here; fell through trap!
Don't get out on my side of the bed p
call rightw And Judge Marks,
springing out on his own side, turned
three somersaults and landed on his
back. Both were now convinced that
they were in den of thieves, and per-
haps would be murdered. The jokers
had closed the heavy wooden shutters so
that no light could enter, and removed
the furniture.
The Judges groped around on their
hands and knees, nearly frozen to death,
and only at daybreak discovered the bed,
climbed into it, and got warm enough to
talk the thing over.
There were recently two temperance
societies started under glorious auspices.
The headquarters of one is at Selma, the
other at Sheboygau.
