RAILROAD ACCIDENT. I

On Wednesday Of last week a serious acci-
dent occurred to the South bound train on the
Chester and Lenoir Railroad, about one mile
this side of Gastonia, and about two hundred
wards the other side of the trestlc across Little
Catawba Creek. There were on board about
twenty passengers in the tirst-class car and
eight or ten in the second class. At the point
named, the second freight CIR from the engine
jumped the track and turned over, pulling all
the cars in the rear of it off the track and piing
them in wreck on the side Of the road En-
gineer Smyre, as soon as he felt the jar, revers-
ed his engine, which stopped on the trestle. The
rear cars did not break loose, and the strain
on the engine being very heavy, the engineer
fearing that it would pull the trestle down,
put on full head Of steam and the engine
bounded forward, breaking the coupling and
succeeded in reaching this side Of the trestle.
There is no known cause why the car left the
track. The conductor and passengers say that
the train was running smoothly and at the usu-
al rate of speed Much praise is bestowed upon
the engineer for his GOODNESS and presence Of
mind, by which more serious calamity was
averted. The wounded were taken to Gastonia
and properly cared for. The Gazette gives the
following list Of the injured: Mr.. William
Hunter, Of Atlanta, Ga, cut in the head; Mr..
f.. +. Bell, Of Clover S. c., bruised on thigh;
Mr.. l.. H. Currie, baggage master, ear badly cut;
Mr.. S. n. Williams, conductor, bruised on leg;
Mack Dixon, colored brakeman, arm broken
and shoulder dslocated Mr.. c. II. Harris, arm
bruised Miss Mallissa Harris, slight bruise on
forehead; Dora Harris, arm bruised; Mr.. A.
G.. Hayes, arm bruised and left knee hurt; Mrs.
A. G. Hayes, bad cut in wrist; Miss Antrim, of
Dallas slight bruise on forehead

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.

The Prohibition contest, on Wednesday
of last week, in Fulton county, Ga, which
also included the city of Atlanta, resulted
in a victory for the prohibitionists by a ma
jority of PIG. There was much excitement
in Atlanta during the election, though
no disturbance occurred. Seven thousand
votes were polled and both sides worked
hard. The negro vote, which both sides
endeavored to control, was about evenly
divided. Should there be no contest, pro-
hibition will 60 into effect in Atlanta on
the last day of July next, on which day
the existing licenses expire. 1t has been
stated that the whisky men do not accept
the result, and have filed notice of contest,
and will institute suit in the United States
Court, pleading nconstitutionality and il
legal voting in county precincts which were
already prohibition by legislative enact
ment or high license. The bill requires that
no precinct which will not be affected by the
measure, and already has prohibition, eth
er by high license or legislation, shall vote
on the question. If these votes are thrown
out, Prohibition loses its majority. But
while this intimation comes from Atlanta,
another statement is to the effect that no
contest will be made. The loudest COM
plant of the result comes from the lessees
of the Kimball House, who say that they
cannot keep up the hotel without the reve-
nue. brought in by the bar; and while they
speak of closing the house, there are others
who are willing to take it. And while
Prohibition is expected to give an impetus
to business generally in Atlanta, the heavi-
est real estate owners-those who are ma
terially interested in the prosperity of the
city-say they now expect their property to
appreciate in value at least 25 per cent.
On the same day Wilkes county also vo-
ted in favor of Prohibition.

NurRDER AT RIIACkS,

On Tuesday evening of last week Arthur \.
Turner, the town marshal Of Blacks in this
county, was shot and fatally wounded by Robert
c. Bishop. From persons who live at Blacks
and have visited Yorkville since the occurrence,
we learn the following particulars of the affair:
About week previous to the shooting Bishop
visited Blacks and became intoxicated and
drew his pistol, for which offence he was arrested
and taken before the intendant who, after hear
ing the case, imposed nc from which decis
ion Bishop obtained rehearing which was set
for the 24th of November. On that day he was
given a second hearing which resulted in re-af-
tirming the decision of the intendant made on
the first hearing. At this result Bishop became
greatly incenscd and after leaving the intend
ants office he commenced making threats ana
uttering profane and abusive language to such
an extent that the marshal approached him and
cautioned him to quiet down and behave hlm-
self or he might again get into trouble. 10 the
admonition of the marshal Bishop made no re-
plv, but drawing his revolver quickly fired at
the officer, the ball penetrating the region of the
heart, and causing death in Il few hours. AS
Turner fell to his knees he drew his pistol and
tired three shots at Bishop, all Of which took
effect. The attention of the by-standers was
directed entirely to caring for the wounded Of
ticer, and knowing that Bishop was also severe
ly wounded it was not thought that he could es
capc but after washing his wounds he escaped
during the excitement and at this date of
intelligence has not been heard from. Parties
arc active, however, in searching for him, while
is thought by some that he made his way to
place of hiding and died of his wounds.
Turner was 4 native of Cleveland county, y.

Rock HILL, November 30.-Thanksgiv-

place. All of the business houses were clos

The bird hunters were out on the same

were scared to death. There were some
good bags made, but it is a question wheth-

Rev. A. P. Pugh, who has had charge of
Harmony Baptist Church, in Chester coun-

and will leave for that State in January.
During his stay at this place, he has not
only endeared himselfto the members of his
own church, but the entire community,
and they see him leave with sorrow and
regret.
a meeting of the citizens of Rock Hill
will be held this afternoon to consider sew
eral important amendments that have been
suggested to the new charter. One of these
will be to require a registration of voters
thirty days before the annual municipal
election.
Monroe Hoyle was before L. S. Commits

selling whisky. The evidence was such
that the commissioner held him in the sum
of 5000.
On Saturday last, Sandy Pride, colored,
was brought before the commissioner on
the same charge. The evidence not sus-
taing the charge, Sandy was released.
The receipts of whisky at the express
office here are increasing as Christmas draws
nigh.
On last Friday cotton came in freely, the
price being 8 cents. All the merchants had
a good trade and the previous long faces
wore smiles. Most of the farmers in this
section are holding their cotton for higher
prices.

York to this place about eighteen months
ago and went into the jeWelry business, left
quite suddenly on Wednesday last, and has
not been heard of since. He had always

public life, however, has but so recently been
discussed that but a bare allusion to the most
prominent events in his career is necessary
in this brief notice of his death. He was
nominated for the Nice-Presidency in 1876
with Mr.. Tilden, but was deprived ofthe seat
to which it was claimed he was elected. In
1884, as representative of the old ticket he
was again nominated for the Vice-Presiden-
cy with Mr.. Cleveland, and since their elec-
tion he discharged the duties of his office
with the same integrity that marked his
whole life.
His funeral occurred last Tuesday, and as
mark of respect the obsequies were at
tended by public officials and distinguished
citizens from all parts of the Union. In
Difference to the advice of his friends the
President did not leave Washington to
attend the funeral, it not being deemed ad-
visable for him to risk his life to the danger
incidental to rapid travel by special trains.
