road.
Injured.

G. Bowcock, fiagman, thigh broken.
George Rickets, conductor, injuries
not serious: escaped by jumping.
William Hoe, fireman, slight injuries:
escaped by jumping.
Two colored brakemen named Foster
and Greenlee, painful, but not danger
GUS wounds.
How the Accident Occurred.
From the apex of Saluda mountain to
Melrose, the scene of the accident. a
distance Of more than three miles. there
is fall of fully 600 feet. This fact has
made the railroad authorities specially
careful at this point, and an engine is
kept constantly there to help all trains
up and down the mountain.
The track was very wet when coal
train started down, and soon after be-
ginning the descent it became evident
that the twelve loaded cars were too
much for both engines to hold with all
brakes down, and the speed gradually
qulckened under the heavy pressure un-
til speed of about seventy five miles an
hour was reached, when the tracks
spread and the entire outfit plunged
headlong down the mountain with ter
rible crash, burying beneath the broken
cars, cross-ties and earth the brave fell
lows who had stood to their posts.
The loss to the company in engines
and cars alone will reach $4,000. A
train containing Superintendent We.
McVee and surgeons left the city i'm
mediately upon hearing of the wreck,
and returned, bringing the bodies of En-
gineer Smyra and Fireman TAYLOR.
Flagman Bowcock is receiving the best
medical attention. Both engineers have
families, Smyra's wife being at More
head City, where she was notified by
telegraph of the disaster. This is
the fourth wreck ON this road within
week

DOGMATIsTs TO THE END.
Once a Katy-Did Always Katy-Did, and
Once Didn't Always a Didn't.


There is one crop of early autumn
that grows on trees which doesn't vary
much, and that is the katydid. Climatic
influences are favorable to the growth
of this fruit. 1t is singular thing that
on the same trees where forty years ago,
as little elms, these chanting insects
lived, they now stay. They are never
known to change from one tree TO an
other. There may be several elms of
equal size on one street, but two trees
will most likely hold all the katydids
and from the first chosen grecnery they
never bulge.
The same way one yard will have its
number, or one tree in yarG; the next
persons grounds, although just as cool
and shaded, will have none. Those in
the same trees or yards have good man
ners, never iIterrupting each other, but
listening intently for their turn to cX-
press their belief as to whether Katy
did or didn't. The outside world. after
listening for years to debate, is divided
as to opinion. Just the same as on more
important subjects, it judges in accord
ance with the sentiments of its own con
seriousness.
These little green chanterS never
change their opinion. They belong to
the dds or didn'ts, and by no mistake
alter their saying. One may tramp
around the trees where they live, may
sit beneath them, talk, laugh or indulge
in any noise, and Katy chants on in un-
disturbed monologue. But lay hand
ever so lightly against the bark of a
tree. one says who has tried 1t, and
their notes are instantly hushed, re-
naming quiet until the hand is re-
moved. In darkness, when one creeps
safely up TO an elm tree where. above
in the branches, is taking place To-
quacous dialogue, and gently rest the
palms of the hands against the bark,
the silence is painfully sudden.
There was once man visiting Rhode
Island whose ambition was to possess
some elm trees, and in them katydidS.
He had the elms for the katydids, but
no katydids for the elms. So he came
from his distant home and got posses
sion of one, which he carried back and
put well up in the greenery of the elm.
Then he waited. The katy was as
dumb as a sealed fruit jar, and wouldn't
say word He wrote back to inquire
why the thiag wouldn't open its mouth
and sing lie was informed, first, that
the thing didn't speak the sentence
with any mouth, but with its legs; see
ond. that although the divorce laws OF
Rhode Island were often brittle enough
to sever knots tied by ministers, still he
need not expect any garrulous hilarity
from one katydd separated from Its
mate and alone in a strange land. Then
another was put in the tree, and in true
marital style one said Katy did, and got
contradictcd in about second. They've
kept it up ever since.
