BRUNsON, S. c., April 23,-L. w. Rit-
ter, OF this place, who is farming just out
side OF Brunson, has for some cause re-
Gently selected for his route in going from
town to his farm the railroad track,
although a wagon road is near by and
almost as short. On the morning of April
10, while thus proceeding to his iarm, he
was overtaken by the morning picayune
train, whicn was taking water when Mr..
Ritter rode away from the station. Mr..
Ritter had reached pond, and his room
for passage was narrow when the train
struck his mule. The mule was thrown
into the ditch and died within a few
hours from the injuries sustained. Mr.
Ritter is almost totally ignorant of the
actual happenings during this terrible
moment and is not positive tha. the train
struck the mule. He had alighted and
did not know, bat he might have pushed
the mule in the ditch himself. The engi-
neeT, however. relieves this by vouching
for the tenders striking the mule. He
must have been asleep, as his thoughts in
which he was wholly occupied were dis
tant from his actual riding place while
the train was approaching.

EXPLOSION IN A CHURCH.
The Murder of the Bishop Followed by
Another Outrage at Madrid.

MADRID, April 23.--An attempt was
made this morning to destroy the Church
of San Luis, in this city. An explosive
was placed inside of one of the enormous
hollow candles which stand on either side
of the altar. The explosion, instead of
taking place while the church was crowd
ed, as was probably intended, occurred
before the people began to arrive
for the Good Friday services. The edifice
was badly wrecked and for a time was
filed with smoke and flying debris. Two
sections who were in the building were
badly burned. The outrage has produced
profound and widespread excitement and
Indignation in the city. No clue to the
identity of the person or persons engaged
in the conspiracy has yet been found.
