Many having assigned parts were disabled, and even well people are timid about. venturing out in bad weather, when an apparent epidemic is abroad seek ing to make prey of every injndicious ex. poser. A small number took part in the several exercises and au seemed to thor oughly enjoy the, social and religious at- mosphere prevailing. Rev. F. D Avery of Columbia, whose genial face is ben ediction Ut any occasion, was on hand as appointed and preached sermon worthy of large audience, and well appreciated by those who heard it. Mir.

ENDING FATALLY.
The Influenza in Paris Complicated With
Pneumonia.

PARIS, Dec. 26.-The epidemic has as
sumed a graver type and many cases are
now complicated with pneumonia. In
consequence of the constantly increasing
crowd at the hospitals, the authori-
ties are erecting tents for the
sufferers. The undertakers are overworked,
and many of their employees are down.
In consequence of the increase in
the number of funerals and the system of
draping churches with folds of enormous
hang1ngs of black and expensive parades
and the various emblems of woe have been
dispensed with by the authorities. The
official returns for the week gives 200 more
deaths han for the preceding week.
BERLIN, Dec. 26.-The epidemic is de-
ereasing here, but is spreading at Bremen.
At Darmstadt it is very severe, and at
Vienna many cases among children are
followed by measles.
MADRID, Spain, Dec. PA meeting of
the medical faculty was held to-day to con
slider the influenza, which is rapidly
spreading. 1t was decided to open a re-
lief bureau and to distribute appropriate
medicines among the afflicted. Many
prominent men are among the sufferers
from the malady.
New YORK, Dec. 27.-Dispatches from
Philadelphia, Boston, Albany and other
eastern cities report the prevalence to a
considerable extent of the popular cpl
demic, La Grippe. Except in
Boston, however, it seems to be of a very
mild type. In Boston, many of the VIC
Tins have been seriously i'll and one or two
fatalities believed to be consequent uponit
are reported.

Purse, Hudson Johnson, Robert Phoenix

They were marched to the outskirts of the

the bodies of the negroes. They We're
literally shot to pieces. The firing
was the first intimation the people of the

AUGUSTA. Ca, Dec. 28.-The Chronicle,
in referring to the lynching of the negroes
at BarnweIl, S. c., will say tomorrow: The
white men who mob and shoot negroes &C
cused of crime violate the laws of God
and their country. they are guilty OF muir
der, and, however revolving the crime Is
supposed to have been committed by those
upon whom their vengeance is wreaked,
men who take the law In their W
hands, who usurp places, Judge and jury,
are co~nspirators against the peace and in
tegrity of the state and enemies to the
most sacred rights and the only safeguard
of the liberties ofthe people. The shoot
ing of negroes, whether guilty or not guilty
by bands of lawless white men, is bru-
tai. 1t is a disgrace to our civilization,
and a scandal and shame to any communl-
ty that tolerates or perpetrates such acts of
la~wlessness, i~nhumanity and crime.

A FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE
a Broken Rail Throws a Fast Express
From the Track.
Ten Persons Instantly Killed. a Num-
Der Injured.
The Train Was Behind Time and at
Full Speed.

CHARLESTON, W, Va, Dee. 2S.-A ter
rible accident occurred this morning on
the Chesapeake & Ohio road. at White
Sulphur Springs. rs miles east of this
place. Details have been very hard to get.
the only accounts being received bv
specials. One of these from an eve-wit-
ness says:
Vestibule train No. 8, on the Chesa-
peake & Ohio read. left the track two miles
west of White Sulphur Springs at 7:2O
this morning, demolishing five cars, kill
ing eleven people and injuring about
twenty-five. The accident was caused by
the rails spreading.
The killed were:
Edward Brown, colored.
h. Faltka, Grant Co., SD.
Nelson Heath, colored.
E. Wilson. Caldwell, Kas.
Haiem Morrison, Char lesion.
Baggage Master Barksdale, of Profit,
Va.
Newsboy Thompson, of Portsmouth,
Ohip.
J. D. West. Howardsville, Va.
Thomas Karesch, of Blackstone, Kan
sas.
Kidder KIDD. Hannibal. Mo-, and one
unknown.
Among the injured were:
J. b. karesch, Blackstone. Kas.
Conductor Schweickt, Huntington, w.

R. I. Blank5on, Farmville, Va.
Gus W. Kline, Chicago.
VIM. Dell, New York.

Louis Karesch, Lilacstown, Kas.
A. F. Gregory, Clifftop, Va, arm crush
ed and internally injured.
The train vas behind time and running
at the rate or 40 to so miles per hour.
The wreck occurred on the Eli over Jary's
run which is 100 feet high said to be the
highest fill in the United States. All of
the killed were in the smoking car which
was telescoped by another car. Every
person in the car was killed except the
conductor, who though terribly injured
may recover. 1t was a fearful wreck
and the damage to the railroad at
this time cannot be even estimated.
Luckily the cars did not take fire they be-
ing heated by steam. The engine did not
leave the rails. The rear sleeper had the
front trucks on the ground and remained
on the rails. DR.. W. P. Caldwell, the
only physician in White Sulphur, repaired
to the scene of the accident and did all in
his power to alleviate the suffering, but
could only aid one person at a time.
After some time doctors from along the line
arrived and worked long and faithfully
among the suffering, The ladies of the
vicinity turned out en- masse and too much
cannot be said in praise of their noble eff
forts. Statements as to the cause of the
accident vary. Some say the rails spread;
other reports say the rail was worn out
and ties rotten. Among the injured were
several of Karl Gardner theatrical COM
pany." One will probably die.
