The most serious accident that the Co.
lumbia & Grecnvllc railroad has had in
long time happened yesterday morning
three miles below Hodges. Ten cars of
the down freight, No. Is, Conductor
Henry Williams, were uncoupled and broke
from the remainder of the train while it
was running down long grade. The
engine and several cars ran some distance
before the accident was discovered. The
engine was stopped or slowed up and the
cut off cars overlook the front section and
ran into it with tremendous force. The
two cars Immediately colldins were smash
ed and almost every bumper on the train
was broken. One Of the wrecked cars was
loaded with grain while the other was
filled with cattle and goats. The grain
was scattered far and wide and ten head OF
cattle and all the goats but one Were killed.
All the cattle left alive were more or less
hurt. Tho wreck was promptly cleared
away and the up passenger train was only
all hour late -GrecnuiNe Nc,rs, 4M.
Quite sensation has been created here by
the report that pot of gold and silver had
been found on Mr.. Godfrey Harmon's place,
near .SaluJa river. Upon diligcnt inquiry
1 find the following to be the facts of the
case: Mr.. Joe Caughman went to workin
field in which it was always reported
that gold had been hidden. Mr.. Harmon
says that Mr.. Caughman showed him the
pot he had found, and he saw the hole out
of which it was dug. He says the pot
shows from the rust that it had been buried
long time, and that it shows that there
was something on the inside Of it. Mr..
Caughman told Mr.. Harmon whom he
showed him the pot that he was ready to
build the Narrow Gauge now. Mr.. Caush-
man is noncommittal as to the contents;
but it is generally believed that it contained
money. 1t is further reported that MIR.
Caughmans little son says he heard his
ma and pa talking, and they said it was
reported that Capt. Phil Waters had buried
money in this same field, and it is believed
that there is a foundation for the SUPPOSE
ton of the finding. Mr., Harmon sa.ys
that the hole is there, tllc:pot and the lid
are there, and everything goes to show that
something was found. The place is OH the
top of hill, and instead of dirt washing
over an old pot it would gradually wash
away ay-NewJerry Herald.
