AN ENGINES LOW PILOT.
POSSIBLE DISCOVERY OF THE
CAUSE OF THE WRECK

The Coroner's Inquest Held Over the
Bodies of the Three Victims Of the
Accident-New Rails Had Just Been
Laid at the Scene OF the Smash Up.
CHARLESTON. s. c., June 1.-The in
quest over the bodies OF the three victims
Of the recent wreck on the Charleston and
Savannah railroad was held to-day. A
voluminous lot of testimony was taken, but
very little of it was calculated 70 throw
any light on the mystery. Eight or ten
witne sses were examined. all Of whom de-
scribed with graphic aud elaborate detail
how they were bumped, aud then how they
helped to rescue the injured. The following
summary covers everything of Importance
that was brought out:
S. A. Seller, the conductor of the wrecked
train, was unable to say what caused the
smasn-up. He examined the track and could
find 10 defect after the wreck. About 400
feet was torn up. The engineer was per-
fectly sober man. Tae conductor thinks
the train was going sixteen 10 twenty miles
an hour. The accident occurred just where
new rails had been laid. About six or
seven trains fad passed over it before the
smash
THE PILOT TOO LOW.
c. E. Milling, car inspector of the North
eastern railroad, said he noticed some time
previous to the wreck that the pilot of en-
CINE No. II was very low, and he called the
attention of Engineer banning to the fact.
Several other railway Officials were present
at the time Mr.. Smart, another car in
spector, got on his knees and sighted tue
pilot with the level of the track, and agreed
that it was very low. THIS witness also
testified that the wreck of the pilot was
bent under the engine truck.
q. b. Newcomb, roadmaster of the
Northeastern railroad, testified that none of
the new rails were injured by the wreck.
John Dairs, the injured fireman, said hs
had just fired up and went to sit down
when the engine jumped off. Something
Knocked him off, and he knows nothing
more. He had no idea how fast the train
was running.
THE VERDICT.
The following verdict was rendered:
That w. II. Dunning and j. F. Corcoran came
to their death by an accident on the Northeast
ern railroad while on board freight train of
the Charleston and Savannah railroad, No. POS
engine No Il, whilei in the discharge of their
duties, and that William Duffie came to his
death by the same accident while riding on the
same train without the consent of the con-
ductor. The cause of the accident is unknown
to the jury.
There is some talk on the street about
suing the railroad company, but which
railroad or who is to be the complainant is
not yet developed. The evidence of
one or two of the witnesses
about the pilot Of the engine
being too low coupled with the verdict of
the jury that the deceased were killed in
the discharge of their duty would seem to
be something like peg on which to hang
suit for damages by the heirs of the de-
ceased

THOMAS COUNTY ITEMS.
Some Facts About Melons, Pears and
the Ba2ginR Com binetlon.

the Bagging Combination.
BOSTON, Ga, June 11.-At the June
meeting of the Thomas County Agricultural
Club the question of ''fence or no fence"
the advantages. benefits. profits. ETC., pro
and con, was discussed at much length.
The vote of the club is decidedly in favor Of
the no fence or stock law, it being clearly
demonstrated that it is economy, convent
ercc, and Of general good TO fence stock,
cattle and hogs in rather than fence the
farm III and the stock out. The many adj
vantages arising from this Law can be plainly
seen in those portions of the state in which
it has been tried, a strong argument Ill Its
favor being Uhe fact that those who opposed
the law before a trial are now It's firm
friends. Your correspondent cannot now
recall single instance in which the mo
fence law has been given fair trial that
it has been abandoned, but it has proven
blessing to the small farmer as well as the
planter. Its operations have proven bene-
fetal in sparsely settled communities as
well as in large towns.
The no fence law will be agitated by the
Thomas County Agricultural Club until Its
adoption is secured.
The Boston alliance is heartily opposed
to the bagging trust. and at a recent meet
ing resolved that the members use cotton
bagging for each and every bale of cotton
grown by them.
The alliance in Thomas and adjoining
counties is pfospefihg as never before.
The decreased acreage of melons along
the line or the Savannah, Florida and
Western railroad will be about Offset by
the increase on line of the Monticello
branch and the Georgia Southern and
Florida railroad, but owing to the recent
drought the crop is conceded to be from
ten days to two weeks late, and the yield
less than in 1888, while the melons will bo
larger and of finer quality.
The pear crop, of which so much has
been said and written recently. will be less.
from the same orchards than within the
past three years. with the notable excep-
tions of the orchards of the Messrs Varna-
doe, near Townsville, and Messrs Cone
and Neal, near Boston.

WHY SHOULD YOU BUY A LOT TODAY.
BECAUSE.

There is no other way in which you can invest
a small amount of money and realizs SO much
profit.
Greater profits have been and are being made
investments.
No better investment can be made than
buying property in growing ely,
Ours is not only growing city, but one
over the country, VINO know us at all, as ex-
ceedIngly bright.
There has been steady increase in popula-
ton, and marked advanced in real estate for
the past five years, and the most skeptical can
give no reason why this should not continue.
There will certainly be two new railroads
here in rweivemonth. This means a ire
cedented demand for real estate.
Savannah's citizens have never been recreant
to their duty, and if the popular subscription.is
not sufficient to secure the new railroads
another scheme will be inaugurated that WILL
succeed.
You have neglected all other chances and
have regretted your mistakes. To do so
longer would be TO perpetuate your own folly.
If the location should not be suitable for your
business as q permanent residence, do not
forget that the profit that yeu are sure to
make on this will be a great help in buying
when you will be better satisfied to locate
permanently. CHAS. H, DORSETT,
