TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
CAUGHT ON TREsTLE AND DASHED
TO PIECES.
Marrow Escape of q Railroad Train
In North Caro-
lima.
Especial telegram TO tho Dlspa.ch.l

Charlotte, n. G., February 26.--A most
horrible casualty occurred near Hickory last
night, III which Charles Sheriff.. q WELL
known citizen of Caldwell county, was
killed. The scene Of the terrible accident
was on trestle Of the Western North Caro-
Ina. railroad, about one mile west of
Hickory. As the train dashed around a
curve aud on the trestle the headlight
flashed upon dark object on tho track,
about in the middle Of the trestle. The first
startled glance of Engineer Long made II
out 10 be an obstruction lald on
the track 10 cause wreck. but a
second glance recognized IL as horse with
his legs down between the crosstles and
sleepers, hitched 10 vehicle, IN which was
reclining something resembling the form
Of man. These two chances were quick
and almost as instantaneous as lightning
flashes merging into one another. ana
really before the engineer mind had taken
IN the meaning OF them the crash came, and
the train plouched through the obstruc-
ton and was across the trestle before there
was time 20 reverse and down brakes.
WITHOUT A BREAK.
The train went through il all without q
break OF an accident. The cOwcatcher
lifted the road-cart and hurled the body
of the man against the front part of the
engine, his body dropping down 10 the bot
tom of the creek and his hat catching upon
the flagstaff and banging there. The road
cart was torn all up. one wheel falling on
one side and the other one on the other.
The horse was literally mangled.
As soon as the train could be stopped all
hands went 10 the assistance Of the I'M
fortunate man and tho train was sent back
10 Hickory after a doctor. The man was
found to BE- alive. but so crushed and
bruised that be was insensible, only gasp
ing for breath, and in half al hour he was
dead. he was recognized o. Charles Sher-
on the Cedar Valley and Hickory road, in
Caldwell county, about five miles from the
scene Of the accident. The horse had be-
come frightened and running away had
fallen on the trestle, and Sheriff. being
hurt could not get ont Of the way. although
he henrd tho trim nnnrOaching.

of at least ono life. The storm In Memphis
was severe, but no material damage was
done.
Brownsville, Tenn, fifty-six miles north
east OF here, was the worst sufferer 20 isf
reported The storm struck the town wnne
", ,nhaoitants slept. and had done us Ief-
role work before the real situation was
realized. II came from as0uthwesteriy IL
rection, and was preceded by rumoiihg
noise, which lasted few seconds and then
hurst upon the town in appalling iury.
Inc business-hOtfses that suffered most arc
as follows; Kings hardware store, Manns
Opera-house. Gauses's photograh galiery,
brewers grocery store, Hothkiss lyies
dry goods store. Scott Il Lords and Glass
drugstores, Fannin h Thomas's grocery
and WINSTON a Wilder's dry goods and COT
ton compress. The Jewish synagogue, the
Methodist church. the Baptist Female Co.
lege, and the courthouse were also un-
rooted and otherwise damaged. The only
life reported lost ia that OF Mrs. james
Cooper, wife of an engineer. tree ieil
across the house, crushing II in, killing her
and badly injuring two OF her children.
AT Mariana, Ark, the new CHRISTIAN
church was completely demolished. Bess-
er's cotton-shed was blown away. and the
roofs of several other buildings were lifted
off. About three miles west Of the town
negro school-house with sixty-hve children
III 1t was blown from its foundation, but
no one was hurt.
The White river at Batesville, Ark. rose
five feet in few hours. washing away cul-
verts and delaying trains badly. Three
houses were blown down near Riverside,
and several buildings were hattened out IN
the southeastern portion Of the county.
The Hot Springs Old observatory, which
has stood for several wears on the summit
OF Hot-Springs Mountain and from whose
top thousands Of visitors have viewed the
surrounding country, WAS levelled to the
ground by the gale. The storm played
havoc with the entire country between
Hot Springs and the OaUchita river. Many
farm-hOuses were torn TO atoms, and the
path OF the storm is one mass OF wrecked
timber. Large trees were uprOOted, and
in many plnces the roads are completely
blockaded by fallen timber. IL IS not yet
known whether any lives were lost, but
that there were 10 more than probable,
owing TO the destruction of so many farm
houses. Considerable damage was done
10 the buildings and fences at Little Rock,
and at Alexander, near that place, a
scho6l-house WAS blown down and nino
children injured.
