SLIDING DOWN SALUDA.
4 Terrible Railroad Wreck in the Noun
tains Two Men Killed and 4 Num-
Der Injured.

AsIEvILLE, \. c., June 1S.-Per-
haps the most destructive wreck, both
Of life and property, ever known in the
history of the Western North Carolina
Railroad, occurred at Melrose Station,
at the southern side of Saluda Noun
tain, about thirty-two miles from this
city, on the Asheville and Spartanburg
Division last night
The dead are: Engineer Smyra, of
Chester, S. c.; Engineer Lewis Tun-
stall, Of Yorktown, Va; Fireman, w.
G. Taylor, of Morristown, Tenn, son
Of w. P. Taylor, for twenty years con-
ductor on the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad.
The injured are: G.. Bowcock, flag
man, thigh broken; George Ricketts,,
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.
From the apex Of Saluda Mountain
to Melrose, the scene of the accident, a
distance OF less than three miles, there
is fall Of fully six hundred feet. This
fact has made the railroad authorities
specially careful at this point and an
engine is kept constantly there to help
al! trains up and down the mountain.
The track was very wet last night when
the coal train started down and SOON
after beginning the descent it became
evident that twelve loaded cars were
too much for both engines to hold with
all the breaks down, and the speed
gradually quickened under heavy pres
sure until aspeed of seventy.five miles
an hour was reached, when the tracks
spread and the entire train plunged
headlong down the mountain with a
terrible crash, buryins beneath broken
cars, crossties and earth the brave fel-
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 V. E.
McBee and surgeons left this city i'm
mediately on hearing of the wreck anC
returned to-day, bringing the bodies of
Engineer Smyra ard Fireman Taylor.
Flagman Bowcock is receiving the best
medical attention. Both engineers
have families, Smyra's wife being at
Moorehead City, where she was notified
by telegraph of the disaster.
This is the fourth wreck on this road
within week. Trains will not be able
to run on schedule time before to-
morrow.

Little Lord Fauntleroy Dying.
From the Philadelphia Record. I

Poor little Cedric Hodgson Burnett,
the blue-eyed, curly-haired son of the
authoress of Little Lord Fauntleroy,"
is slowly but surely passing away
among the leafy glades and beautiful
dells of picturesque Wayne. The
stricken mother, who made her dar-
ling boy the type upon which she
formed the character of the enhancing
little lord, which brought her so much
fame and fortune, has left no stone un-
turned to try and snatch her loved one
from the jaws OF death. Mrs. Burnett,
having settled the lawsuits in England
in connection with her one great work,
travelled as fast rs her boy could safely
be brought to Philadelphia, where she
hoped to get some satisfactory treat
ment from the great specialists OF the
City of Brotherly Love, and, if possi-
bic, nurse her only child back to health
and vigor. The result was for 4 short
time satisfactory, but as the hot
weather set in the poor boy seemed to
get weaker aad weaker; and the anX-
ious mother took him out to peaceful,
breezy Wayne in the fororn hope of
putting otl'thc inevitable as long as
possible. The little lord drives about
the leafy lanes with his parent watch
ing over him, lovely as ever is he,
with his large, bright eyes and pensive
look, but wasting disease Snaws with
in, and us the summer days pass by
the boy is drawing imperceptibly
nearer and nearer that bourne from
which there is,no return, and from
which his mother is making such
brave fight to rescue him. The attend
ing phvsician says that little Cedric is
in a slow decline. He may last for
some time vet, hut he is doomed be-
yond all the power oi human skill and
science.

MASCULINE WOMEN.
Changes in the Most Lovealle Thing on
Earth, the American Girl.
boston Herald.1


In New York the effort of women to
attain L masculine manner is growing
rapidly. 1t is a phase of our craze for
aping the English. Not long ago I
stood in a small shopin Fifth Avenue
selecting some gloves iudiferently,
while the clerk lounged against the
counter and languidly examined his
nails. Occasionally he yawned. The
drowsy hush of the place was accen-
tuated by the purring of lazy cat. The
lethargy of spring pervaded it all, says
writer in the illustrated American.
Suddenly the door was flung open
and in stalked cir of To-Day, her
beautiful head held high in the air
and her face diffused with the ruddy
glow ofperfect health. A bulldog tagged
at her heels. The entrance of the girl
was like blast of chilly air:on a sultry
August day. The curtains luttered.
II say,n she said irnperiously to the
suddenly aroused clerk, you reylly
must have anothah fita my shirts"
Yes, miss what's wrongw
"What's wrongw Oh say, what's
not wrong? Bosom rumply, sleeves too
short, and no end of things. Upon my
word, it's wretched."
She was magnificent looking crea-
ture, and the prevalent craze for mas
culine attire had permeated the very
depths of her soul. Her hair was
braided and laid so close to her head
that the outline was as snug and clear
as that of short-cropped boy. She
wore shirt with a standing collar and
conventional cravat, and her two-but-
ton gloves were Of a masculine cut. A
boutonniere and the tip of rather a
horsey-looking handkerchief decorated
her double breasted jacket. Her sturdy
little boots We're covered by white gai-
ters or 'spats," and she swung a small
sized umbrella in one hand.
"Shirts have no SEX" she said short
ly.
You fit all tn men of tn family
perfectly, yet neither my sister nor |
can get satisfaction.
1t may be remarked in passing that I
had sunk into the limbo of the past.
The bull dog had fallen asleep on the
floor, the cat had resumed her doze,
and [ leaned against the glove case, ig-
nored and shrouded in oblivion. She
was superb creature, but how our
grandmothers would have stared aghast
ut her atfectations of mannishness as
she stood there in a public shop fitting
Il shirt! She seemed altogether admir-
able to meat first. Then l felt unea-
sy. Then came the sentiment of regret.
She spoke in louder tone, and the
silly New Yorkian," with its COM
manding note and the afectation of
stable boy English, Jared like file on
my nerves. Her errand being COM
pleted, she whistled to her surly bull
dog and strobe away with her head in
the air. l found myself thanking God,
under my breath, that she had not
lighted i cigarette. Of course, it was
no business of mine; but have we not
all sort of proprietary interest in that
most stupendous and lovable thing on
earth-the American girl?

Merely a 0usetion of Office.
Augusta Chronicle. !

The campaign in Carolina is still ex-
citing and bitter. We believe that
Capt. Tillman's apprehension about
assassination is unfounded. The speak
ing at Anderson yesterday was aggres-
sive.
The danger is that this bitter warfare
among brother Democrats will leave
wounds that cannot be healed and re-
suit in arrangements that viii rength-
en- the common political enemy.
There has been no corruption il Off
ce among Democrats in South Carolina.
There has not BEEN extra .,agance
enough in the Democratic ad,nlnisrra-
tions of the state since 1876 to glue two
ants together.
All the present row, which threatens
the Integrity Of the party in South
Carolina, seems to he caus., ;ess and
therefore indefensible.
1t is cOmnendable in me-; to seek
office, but when the peace o: the state
Is endangered by the estr.ngement Of
nelghoors and friends, when the
integrity of the party up.n which
hoaest government depends is threat
ebed, there is no Justification for the
warfare made by the "out' against the
Gins"
Stripped of all sophistry, this is about
the political situation in South Caro-
lima. \ new set of men, tired Of wait
ing for office, scheme together for their
political preferment and make charges
o. inef1iciency and extravaganza
against the old officials. Boiled down,
there has been no corruption in the
democratic government of South Caro-
lima. The worst that can be charged is
that some of the present officials have
been IN office long enough and that
they ought to give place to new aspi-
rants who are anxious and eager for
their places. But this is no justification
for arrangements and antagonisms
among men whose political salvation,
whose interests and liberties depend
solely upon the unity ofthe Democratic
party.
a campaign of elimination and vitu-
peratlon must result in great danger,
If not in positive evil, to the white peo-
pie OF South Carolina. Men should dis
cuss questions without misrepresenta-
tion and detraction.

Captain Tilllnan on the Tariff.

The following is sent the Grcenville
News as IN authorized expression OF
Captain i. Il. Tillman's tariff views:
Il know free trade or anything APP
proNlmating it is barren idcality'
utterly impossible while we have three
and four millions Of dollars to raise to
carry on the Government. | favor
tariff reduction rs much Us any man
on the neceSsarieS Of life, and would
put on the free list any commodity
which is owned by trust or monopoly
like ju;e bagging for instance. ReGuir-
ing so much money for the Govern
ment and to pay pensions, | would
favor such I tariff as would raise it
without running the American manu-
facturer out Of the business or giving
him monopoly so he could rob the
consumer. In other words tariff for
revenue with Incidental protection.'

A Great Threatening Danger.

The Farmers Alliance, of Kansas,
has addressed an open letter to the
Kansas delegation in Congress itsays:-
A single law firm in Southern Kan
sas has the contract for the foreclosure
OF 800 mortgages. This means 1900
homesteads transferred to capitalists,
either domestic or foreign. These fore
closures are in accordance with pre-
conceived purpose to people those
farms with more servile tenantry i'm
ported from foreign lands.
Foreclosure and evictions are taking
place in many parts Of our State, and
we need not 60 all the way to Europe
to witness scenes of cruelty in matters
OF his kind. All over our State the
homes of our. people are imperilled.
The people believe that the trouble is
largely DUE to vicious legislation. Both
political parties have been tried and
both have been found wanting.
While the people have been compelled
to sacrifice their products in many
instances absolutely below the cost of
production in order to procure the
common necessities of life, their repre-

the consideration ofevery imaginable
question except such questions as con-
template relief to the distress of their
constituents.
There are measures which the farm
ers demand shall have immediate
attention. These relate to questions of
money, of transportation ard of their
ownership of American lands.
The distress of the people is crying
aloud for relief. They believe that the
white citizens of Kansas have some
rights as we'll as the colored citizens of
the South. They believe that fallen
heroes, both white and black, in past
struggles for liberty, can afford to wait
for one moment until the rights of
living heroes receive some recognition.
Behind these demands are more than
100000 Kansas ballots, and the time is
not far distant when legislators will
heed the the voice of their constituents.

Whence the Flies.

From the Terre Haute Express.]
SO you want to know where the flies
come from, do you Lucullus? Well,
the cyclone makes the house fly, the
blacksmith makes the fire fly, the car
penter makes the saw fly, the driver
makes the horse fly, the grocer makes
the sand fly, the boarder makes the but
ter fly, and If that is not enough for
you you will have to pursue your
future studies in entomology alone.

I'm HONOR OF THE PRESIDENT.
A Dinner Given at Warrington last
American COnference-The President
Toasted.
WARRINGTON, D. G., April 1e.-The dinner
given tonight in honor of the president Of
the United States by the delegates of the
Latin-American conference was undoubtedly
the handsomest and, in respect to the distin-
guishsd character of the guests, one of the
most notable ever given in Washing
ton. The great new banquetting hall
of the Arlington hotel was lavishly and
effectively decorated with tall, broad-leafed
palms, foliage plants and Towering shrubs.
In the center of the room stood great sago-
palm and on its leaves sparkled innumerable
points of colored light. The many tables
which radiated from this common center
were laden with roses, the whole presenting
scene of rare beauty. The menu was con.
spieuous epicurean In character. Besides the
guest of honor, the president, there were
present the vice-president and all the cabinet
officers, except Secretary Tracy, the chief
the foreign ministers. Among the other
visitors were General Scho6eld, a large
| representation from the foreign relation
| committee of the state and foreign affairs
committee of the house and many other
prominent members of congress. Among
the out-of-town guests were the governor Of
Connecticut and the mayors Of Boston and
New Haven.
At $50 O'Clock Mr.. Zegarra, the delegate
from Peru, in brief but happy speech pro.
posed the toast "The President of the United
States" The president responded briefly.
He said he had watched with profound inter
est the progress Of the conference and he be-
lieved it would result in enduring peace and
good will among American nations. he
assured the delegates that to their sister re-
publics the American people were absolutely
and unselfshly friendly. We do not covel
your territory, he said, or your prosperity
but ws do covet your respect and your friend
ship. Both speeches were received with en-
thusiastic applause. The president and thu
chief justice left the room at 10 O'Clock.

A Matter Of Courtesy.

Said Mr.. Mcintyre, of Mcintyre, Mcguire
& Co., last evening to COURIER reporter:
Certain published reporta regarding the dry
goods houses do not set the matter forth in
the right light. Now it's simply this, SO far
as my house is concerned. Out of courtesy
to other concerns in New Haven, and ne
matter whether dry goods or other mercan-
tile concerns, We do not hire anybody to
work for us while they are employed else
where. If clerk comes to as and wants to
work for us, and he or she is ont of employ
ment, having severed their previous business
connections, and can bring satisfactory refer
ence or Recommendations, we will consider
the application. If they are in the employ
of another concern we do not care to nego-
tiate with them. presume this Is the case
with other dry goods houses here, but am
now merely speaking Of our own concern.
Now there is no combination in the ease to
do this, and 30 in this matter it is with US
simply q matter of courtesy. This is the
practice with large dry goods and many 9th
or business houses in New York, Boston and
In fact it is practice which prevails to q
large extent all over the country.
