A Runaway Train.

LYNcHBURG, VA. June 30.-On ac-
count of the failure of the air brakes To
work, the Virginia Midland morning
express ran at an uncomfortable rate of
speed on to the bridge over James River,
one and half miles north of this city,
and corner of the smoking car struck the
upright girders, throwing it from the track
The trucks of the car dragged the
sleepers away for distance of one hun
dred feet, and the Washington and New
York sleeping cars fell through the open
ing into ten feet of water, and gradually
sank. Conductor William King, who
was on the platform of one of the cars,
was thrown into the river, and although
be had two ribs broken, he swan to the
cars aud helped the passengers through
the windows. Most of the passengers
were taken out through the holes cut in
the ventilators at the top of the cars,
to which the water finally reached.
There were about forty passengers in
the sleepers, and all were saved. After
the water had covered the top of the win
dows, Mrs. ]. S. Farden pushed her two
months.old child through the window
and held it above the water until rescued,
and then she came out the same way.
The passengers are being cared for at the
hotels. Trains will be delayed two days.

moderate as in the early days OF the
Republic, and the army of fice-holders
employed under the internal revenue
laws be disbanded.
Tenth. The public credit, National and
State, must be maintained.
Eleventh. In the conduct or affairs in
this State the Democracy have been
actuatcd by Que desire, and that is to
promote the greatest good of the State:
Democratic unity is public safety and
private security.
Twelfth. In the present condition of
political affairs the people of the United
States have the opportunity by electing
Democratic President to ensure to the
whole Union the reform of abuses, the
publication of the public service and
peace and good will throughout the land.
Relying implicitly on the wisdo"' and
patriotism of the National De- .a.ic
Convention which will assemble in Chi
cago on July S, we pledge to the nomi-
nees of tho party, there to be chosen, our
hearty, united and individual support.
Thirteenth. In the State, justice and
equality for all to ensure harmony and
good will between the races. In the
Union, no sectionalism, in policy or feel.
ing, an indissoluble union of indestruc'
tible States, one flag, one country, one
destiny.
Mr.. Giles, ofAiken, moved to consider
the platform by sections. Mr.. Murray
moved to lay that motion on the table
and take it up as whole, which was
agreed to and the platform adopted
with few votes in the negative.
On motion of Mr.. Henderson, of AK.
en-, the Convention went into committee
of the whole, Col. John G. Haskell in
the chair. 1t was resolved "that the
thanks of the Convention are due and
are hereby rendered to Hon. Charles Fl.
| Simonton for the ability, efficiency and
courtesy with which he has presided over
its deliberations, and also to the secreta.
ries for the prompt and able discharge OF
their duties"
Col. Haskell briefly submitted the ac-
ton of the Convention to President
Simonton, who responded in his usual
happy manner, complimenting the body
for the dignifed, prompt and effective
manner in which they had fulfilled the
important trusts committed to them by
the people of the State.
At GAO p. m. the Convention had
finished its business and adjourned.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic. State Convention,
which met in Columbia last Thursday,
was as harmonious and as intelligent 6
body as: has assembled in South Carolina
sinnecathe war: Itsdid its work quickly,
5 and with remarkably little debate.
: Looking back upon tive see n othing:in
its action to criticise but everything to
commend. It's purposes were high and
patriotic. Its action wes wise and pru.
adent. There was no bitterness, and
comparatively little difference of opinion.
The most marked acts Of the body were
its unqualified refusal to instruct its
delegates to Chicago, or in any way
hamper them by the expression of an
opinion upon the National canvass,
manifesting clearlya>a desire that the
delegates should consult and act
for the best interest of the Democrat
ic party 10 making the nomination
for President and Vice.President; its
DISCRIMINATION to nominate State ticket
which, though not unanimous, was 80
emphatic and overwhelming, yet mani
tested in such good temper that the mi
nority could only ysmiliBgly submit andjoin
in the unanimous and enthusiastic re-
nomination of the present State ticket !;
and last but not least, we regard the al
most unanimous adoption of the platform
without debate asa good days work. 1t
shows that the party in South Carolina
has taken no step backward. 1t, favors
honestgovernment, civil service reform,
competent officers, just and equal laws,
public education, national aid to our
common schools, opposition 70 political
assessments, tariff reform, the abolition
Of the Internal Revenue as soon as posi-
Bile, the preservation of the public credit,
and the abolition OF sectionalism, and
the restoration of peace and prosperity
.So the. Union.
s This is a platform broad enough ana
I strong enough for all the litsral'minded
citizens of South Carolina TO meet upon
and help maintain the supremacy of the
party which has formulated it. The
Convention was, in session only about
nine. hours, and We hazard nothing in
saying that never before was so much
work so we'll done by similar political
body in South Carolina in the same
length. of time.

= On Friday last while the railroad
hands were throwing out the dirt for the
rroadbed for the extension of the Raleigh
and Augusta Railroad, near Hamlet, N.
G., they unearthed human skeleton
that was afterwards identified as that of
q Yankee soldier who was buried there
nineteen years ago. The skeleton was
in q perfect state of preservation and was
wrapped in blanket that was also we'll
preserved. As the skeleton was lifted up

watch was picked up and examined and
found to be in good running order, not
withstanding its long rest in the grave.
The body of the soldier was wrapped in
a new mantle and again committed to
the earth in spot near its. former grave.

The Democratic National Convention,
which meets in Chicago on next Tuesday,
! owes it to- the country and to Its own
;sself:respect: to pay no. more attention to
{ John Kelly and his hencnmen than to
anv other member of the Convention.
The repeated efforts to conciliate him
have disgusted the country and demor'
allied the party, for it is far from IN
spiriting to see great national party
trucking to single political trader, who
has repeatedly thwarted and deceived
them. Kelly is no credit to the Demo,
cratic party, and the better portions Of
the organization have long felt humilia'
{ ted at the attitude which has been as
i2sumed, d,towards him. 1T is neither good
ptinciple nor good policy to continue h17l!
longer to consult the preferences Of such
$ q man. We believe the time. has come
to retire Mr.. Kelly. We can get along
better BY fighting him than by keeping
him in in apparent accord with us, whereby
J he has the opportunity to sell us out and
prove treacherous to the party. If he is
discarded by the party his treasons will
& not be so damaging or influential in de
;termining the results Of elections. By q
!. proper fghtswe believe that Governor
5 Cleveland can. be elected without John
Kelly. Atleast We are satisfied that he
will be stronger without him than any
other man ne can nominate will be with
him. Therefore, we favor nominating
Cleveland and ,Hoadley, John Kelly to
} the contrary Notwithstanding.

Yesterday Mr.. Charles A. Meynar.
die, son of Rev. E. G. Meynardie and
formerly resident of this city, met with
shocking and probably fatal accident
ON the Port Royal and Augusta Railroad.
he took the up train at varnville, and
on leaving the train at Allendale ne
missed his footing on the station platform
and fell, when his legs were thrown be-
meath the train. The wheels passed over
one leg crushing the bones, and the other
was so badly injured that amputatlon
will be necessary. The unfortunate
young man will lose both his legs and
probably his life.-Register.

dinner Friday, Mrs. John Nelson broke a

Thomas Watkins, aud old citizen OF our
County, between 50 and 80 years Of age,

strange coincidence of his death was that
on Sunday previous to his demise he
shaved himself closely, washed aud
dressed himself neatly aud then went to
bed and lay down upon his back, with
his hands crossed upon his breast, giving
instructions to those about him not to
disturb him from this position. And
thus he died"

short I have fallen of the requirements
of this high Office, no one can know so
we'll as myself. Believing that all Offices
are public trusts, to be discharged for the
benefit of the whole people, without
regard to party, ! have endeavored in
the performance of my duty to keep that
end always in view. This unanimous
denomination, which is the surest guar
antee of your approval of my efforts,
adds another high incentive to the faith, /,
full discharge of the duties of the Chief
Magistrate of South Carolina. L shall
not presume to interrupt your labors, not
vet completed, with any extended remarks
at this time. In the coming canvass l
hope to meet many of our fellow. citizens,
and to be permitted to take part in the
discussion of the momentous issues now
before the country. In the earnestness
and harmony which have marked your
deliberations is to be seen the best evil
dence that the Importance of those is-
sues is ever present to your minds. With
us in South Carolina it is not mere
party asceudancy, but it is question OF
the maintenance of Republican institu-
tions. The just and impartial admins;
tration of equal justice, economy ana an!
honesty in the management OF public
affairs, private security and public safety
i'm g. word, all that is implied in good
Government, depends upon Sc con tlnu'
ance in power in South Carolina of the
Democratic party. 1t is for this reason
,hot ra have resolved. with an earnest.
negs which shows the strength OF our
determination, that never again shall
ignorance and corruption hold sway
among us-that never again shall the
alien and the adventurer rule IN South
Carolina. This resolve but increases our
responsibility to discharge our duties
with firmness, moderation, prudence and
Justice, animated by the spirit OF enl'ght'
encd progress. But it is not alone ior
our right as South Carolinians that we
must strive in the approaching canvass.
The two great political parties OF the
country are again preparing for the con-
test for National supremacy: The lie,
publican party bas chosen its leaders and
announced it's platform. With these
leaders, standing upon that platform,
they ara preparing to join battle with the
forces of the Democracy. If victory
should be theirs, we of the South know
what to expect. But believe that again
the hour for Democratic victory has
come. If the Convention soon to meet
at Chicago shall choose for our leaders
men whose public records are as pure as
their private lives are stainless, and shall

ted. and was received with much ap-

tlemen of the State Democratic Conven'

ment you have paid me by inviting me
to preside over your deliberations. TO
be connected for even short: time with
a body like this, which represents the
manhood, the intelligence and the virtue
of South Carolina, is an honor to be
proud of. The Democratic party OF the
Union is brought face to face with great
opportunity. The writing on the wall
confronts the Republican party: After
twenty-five years of power the. Republl-
can party, by its disregard Of the public
sentiment, has put itself in such. posi-
ton that nothing can prevent It's destruc-
tion but Democratic blundering. Our
duty is plain. Let us select our best
men for the Chicago Conventlon-men
of ability and prudence. Let us send
them without instructions and without
resolutions. [Applause. Let them
select for the Democratic Presidential
nominees men of integrity and principle,
men who command the confidence of the
North, the support of the South, and the
trust of the whole country. [APplause:
