entitled to much honor and re-
spect from the people Of Amcri-
Gus and Sumter county for his un-
firing energy during SO long a
period of time-laboring for the
interest Of both city and county
alike. The Republican is to-day

A Fatal Railroad Accident.

A horrible accident occurred on
the Southwestern Railroad Sun
day afternoon, near Eufaula.
The down passenger train from
Macon ran over a COW at 4:40 p.
m, throwing the engine and bag
gage car from the track and in
stantly killing Engineer William
Gugel. The wood passer was SO
severely injured that he died in Il
short time, and fireman James
Norris was dangerously scalded.
About thirty yards of the track
was torn up and the engine badly
wrecked. The second class car
was also damaged. Mr.. Gugel
was a son of Master Mechanic
Cha3. Gugel, of the Central Rail
road, and was among the safe st
and most deserving engineers in
the service Of the road. From the
Americus Recorder we get the
following additional facts:
Where the accident occur
red is fill on an up grade. In
this fill and on the bridge was a
small heifer, which the train
struck when it was going at ter
rifle speed. The heifer was
thrown a distance OF twenty yards
and the engine flew the track,
burying the COW catcher and front
trucks into the dirt, on the right
side. The tender left the engine
and ran into a negro cabin on the
left. On the steps of the cabin
three negro children were sitting,
3nd were unhurt.

CHRISTIAN MGel<NESS.
How Unitarian Missionary Made Mos
Dsyoted Friend.

How a Unitarian Missionary Made n Most
Devoted Friend.
A story is told Of the late Rev. Mr..
Dali, the Unitarian missionary to In
dia, which illustrates how he carried
Christian precepts into practice.
When he went to Baltimore as a
preacher he took house whore there
was good opportunity for garden,
and, being fond Of flowers, he devoted
much leisure time to the cultivation OF
the little spot. A woman lived next
door who, for some reason, conceived
AN intense dislike for her neighbor and
missed no opportunity to annoy him.
Among other things, she persisted in
throwing refuse over the fence into
Mr.. Dall's garden, greatly to its dctri-
ment, despite his repeated protesta-
tons, couched in the friendliest words.
Mr. Dall's garden, however, ilourished
and finally blossomed. Gathering the
first flowers, which were exceptionally
beautiful, the minister made a bouquet,
went to his neighbor's door and asked
for the lady. She came with an aston
isbed scowl, but when he, with friend
" smile, extended his hand with the
flowers, begging her to accept the frs
products OF his garden, she was takrr
aback. After that she was one OF Mr.
Dall's most devoted friSnds. IN Y
