The Savannah News-

From the Gainesville (Fzd.l Daily Eetos.
The Savannah NEWS Is certainly a pa
per worthy the patronage OF the people.
1t publishes in excellent shape the full
telegraphic reports each day. 1t is but
just to say that no paper in Floridais able
to compete with the NEWS. 1t circulates
largely all over the State and may very
properly be considered as belonging to
Florida almost as much as to Georgia.
The Palatka Herald pays the News the
following compliment which we heartily
indorse:
''For genuine newspaper the Savannah
MORNING NEWS heads the list of any that
we receive. Its Geographic, editorial and
general news is not beaded by anything in
this State or Georgia. We hope TO see
the day when this popular paper will run
a special train into the state, and be de-
Hvered TO its readers as the other so-called
contemporary is. Ii would be a great en-
terprise and convenience to our people, as
they would then get IA full telegraphic re-
port At a seasOnable hour. The NEWS is
what might he called the metropolitan
daily of Florida, and is thoroughly Demo-
cratic from principle. Give us the NEWS
every time.n

Burned TO Death.

From tie Ha.0klnSgjlle tGa.) Dispatch.
Mr.. John D. Dupree came to Hawkins
vile this Wednesday morning for a
coffin for the remains of Mrs. Dupree,
wife of his brother, Luke. On Tuesday
Mr.. Luke Dupree left his wife sitting by a
fire in her room, with her children. She
was not well, but was able to sit up, and
was parching ground peas. Soon after
Mr.. Dupree left the house one of his little
children ran down to the field and told
him that his mother was sick-tO run
home. When Mr.. Dupree reached
the house, a spectacle, sad. hOr-
rible, and sickening presented itself.
His wife had fallen into the fire and
was burned TO death--her body was
burned to a crisp. 1t appeared that she
had taken spasm or fit, and had fallen
into the fire, her arms stretched across
the burning sticks of wood, and there the
body remained, no one TO remove it, and
the flames roasting the flesh. Mr.. Du.
pree was so overwhelmed that he could
do nothing but give vent to his grief in
loud lamentations, which brought in one
Of the negro laborers near by. The negro
could hardly pull the body out Of the fire,
it had been so completely burned.

A Passenger Train Jumps the Track,

A Passenger Train Jumps the Track.
A serious and almost fatal accident
happened on the East Tennessee road at
the 12-mile post Wednesday about II
O'Clock. In the accident several passen-
gers had a miraculous escape from death.
Passenger train. No. II, which left Atlanta
on Wednesday night at l0;49, jumped the
track near the 12-mlle post while running
at full speed. The train is one of the fast
est on the road, and is the same train
which ran into so" Monday night. We'd
nesday night it left Atlanta on time, but at
Chattahoochee was delayed a long time
by some freight trains. When ii started
away from Chattaho0chee Engineer
Priest gave the engine fair play to make
up lost time. Near the 12-mile post there
is long, straight stretch, and when he
reached this part of the track his engine
was swinging along lively. A por-
ton of this stretch Of track is on an en-
bankment or fill about 10 TO 10 feet high,
and when the train was on this Ill the ex-
press car jumped the track and began
riding the crOssties. Instantly the bag
gage car and the smoker followed the ex.
press car, and for 100 yards those three
cars jumped across and plOwed through
the crosstles at a fearful rate. The en-
| gineer, who is one Of the most careful
men on the road, soon detected that some
| thing was wrong, and brought his train
to stapdstill just as the baggage car
broke loose.
The passengers in the smoker were
knocked and jOstled about at lively rate.
They were unable to keep their seats, and
quickly realized that the train was off the
track. The accident Of Monday night re-
| Cured to them, and every moment they
expected to be dashed down the embank-
ment.
The first-class car and the sleeper for
tunately did notleave the track. AS luck
would have it the train was running on a
straight line when the care were off the
track. Had it turned curve during its
run the probabilities are the car would
have been thrown down the embankment.
AS 1t was the only damage done WAS to
the cars and soaring the people.
The cause Of the run-otf is unknown. 1t
is thought that the rails spread. and that
this caused it. The accident blocked the
road, and no trains came in or went on
the track until late In the evening.
