Train Wreckers Destroy Property but

Train Wreckers Destroy Property but
Cost no Lives.
| ALBANY, \. y. :, Sept. S.-The !iendish
work OF reckless devils IN human habili-
ments found vent about midnight last
Thursday night in a successful attempt
at train wrecking on the New York
Central and Hudson River Rail Road.
about ,.our miles South Of Greenbush.
! Luckily only about one half OF the at
| tempted wreclling was successful and
, no loss of life or serious injuries result
ed. The second section Of the Montre-
al sleeper out Of New York, due here
at 1l:30, consisting OF an engine and
eight sleeping cars filled with men,
women and children. was deraiied. but,
barring shaking up of the passengers
and the bruiSing Of half dozen or so
nothing more serious than the wreck
ing of the train resulted. The news Of
the wreck was brought here by Conduc-
tor McAuli1Te and Mex Leclerc. CORES
pondent of the Paris Journal, who
walked all the way. y relief train was
at once dispatched to ths scene, carrying
Superintendent BisSeA, Chief of Police
Willard, three physicians and a repre-
sentative of the the Associeted Press.
Upon arriving at the scene of the wreck
the first thought was Of giving proper
attention to the injured passengers. The
escape of a large number from death
was miraculous. The train, which was
twenty-five minutes late when it was
wrecked, was running at the rate of
thirty miles an hour. When the engine
struck the obstruction on the track it
was lifted upwards and the whole train
was thrown from the track. The
forward part Of the engine was sus-
pended in the air it looked as though 1t
might fall in the ditch at any moment.
The engineer and firemen both stuck to
their posts.
The first sleeping car contained %
passengers. It slid down the enbank-
ment and came to stand still on its
side. None of the passengers in this
car were injured except by being
bruised. The second coach Jared worse
than any of the others, turning COM
plete somersault and landing in the
ditch bottom side up. In this car there
was only one passenger, Mrs. jenkins,
of Brooklyn, the conductor and porter.
Mrs. jenkins was at first thought to be
seriously injured, but it was afterwards
found that she was more frightened
than hurt. The third car was thrown
directly across the ditch at right angles
with the track and was at first taken
for bridge spanning the abyss. There
were about eight passengers in this
coach, making in all about 81 passen-
gers who were so fortunately saved
from instant death. The other five
sleepers did not leave the road bed, but
were lying obliquely across the north
bound track. The fourth car was sus-
pended in the air over the ditch, held in
position by its only coupling and the
resistance offered by the other three
cars

RIddled with Bullets.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 1O.-A race
war las broken out in the sixteenth dis
trict of Madison county. Negroes, tor
some time, have been cutting the wire
fences around J. r. 1oung's pasture,
and Young threatened them. About
two weeks ago four or five negroes drew
their guns on him. Young had them ar
rested, and they were placed under
bond.
\ mob of nearly fifty negroes, at, a
late hour in the night, went to !oungs:,
and fired forty or fifty shots into his
house. Believing that they had killed
the family, they began shooting the hogs
and cattle, Fortunately none OF the
shots hit Young or his family.
Young has secured a posse OF friends,
and if they have any further trouble,
are going to exterminate the negroes
from the community.

MADNESS IN RELIGION.
Powers of Woman ETanse-


list
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. For two
months Mrs. Maria 3. WOOD vorth, the
famous female evangelist, has been con
Quoting revival in big tent, capable
of sheltering nearly 5000 people.
For the past two weeks these meetings
have increased in interest and excite
ment until they have become sensation
al in the extreme. Mrs. Woodwork was
assisted by several praying and singing
lieutenants, but she is the central figure
and does the eXhorting.
During the past week it has been
nightly scene to see from fifty to two
hundred and fifty men, women and chill
dren stretched prone upon their backs on
the ground or on the big platform, writh-
ing in religious frenzy, or in dead stu
por from exhaustion, while a thousand
more excited individuals danced, shout
ed, cried, sang and swung their arms
in the air.
DR.. Wellington Adams and DR.. Theo-
dore Diller, investigators and authorities
on insanity and neurology, both of whom
have spent much time and study on the
subject of hypnotism, have made an in
yestigation, and after viewing the scenes,
questioning Mrs. Woodwork closely,
and examining her victims, unhesita-
tingly say that she is simply an insane
woman of great hypnotic power; that
the frances into which she throws her
auditors is simply hypnosis.
They declare she is doing great harm
to thousands, is creating evils for which
there can be no cure, and that the State
should put stop to the hideous exhibit
ton and lock the woman up.
When the doctors questioned the lady
she gave a history Of her life, telling III
detail the most marvellous visions She
claimed to have conversed with God,
Christ and the Trinity, and the devil
many times; in fact, to be at the present
time on familiar terms with all Of them.
She also said she has seen both heaven
and hell, and told what they looked like.
She is the same woman who created so
much excitement all over the country
while in Oakland, California, by prophe-
sying great earthquakes and tidal waves
that would destroy nearly all the great
cities, which never came to pass. She
certainly possesses marvellous power
over thousands who hear her nightly.
Yesterday afternoon $1,000 people
gathered on the river front to Wituess
baptism services conducted by her. Over
100 persons were dipped, and the scenes
were of the widest and most sensation
al character

HARD ON SHELL.
His Efforts to Help Joe Crews Put His
Fellow Citizens in Prison.


The Greenville News published the
following: The following communica,
tion is given to the public as matter
OF some interest and Importance in
this canvass. The name Of the writer
accompanied it and will, Of course, be
furnished on demand:
LAURENs, C. H, S. c., Sept. 5, 1890.
TO the Editor Of the Daily News. In
the year 1872. in the dark days Of Rad
icalism, when it looked as though we
would be swept from the bosom of the
earth by carpet-baggers, scalawags and
free negroes, backed by Northern
troops, McDougle in command of the
White Horse Cavalry, wheels on Lau-
rens, and without giving her citizens
time for reflection, hurled about seven
tv-tive of her best citizens into the dis
honored walls at Laurens Court House.
In a few days they were carried to Co.
lumbia to be jailed as a band Of kukluX,
Joseph Crews having the warrants
issued for the prisoners. Joseph Crews,
knowing that the prisoners would at
tempt to impeach his character, pre-
pared himself against it.
a document was handed to me on
yesterday by gentleman Of this place,
which reads thus:
LAURENs, c. H., S. c., April 16, 1872.
ave the undersigned, citizens of
Laurens County, State of South Caro-
lima, have been acquainted with Joseph
Crews for many years, and know moth
ing derogatory to his characrer. Be
fore and during the war his social
position was good. G. w. Shell and
seventeen other signers.
Some Of the seventeen signers say
that Shell told them that he was get
ting up the petition for the benefit of
the Laurensyille prisoners. When &.
w. Shell was going around getting
up signatures to the petition it was
presented to such men rs Sam r. Todd,
Billie Mills, DR.. Simpson, Gen. r. p.
Todd and others who refused to sign it.
If such a document T'aS furnished to
Joseph Crews at the hands Of G. W.
Shell he does not deserve to be the
Congressman of the 4th Congressional
district. Fourteen or fifteen o. the
prisoners were transferred from the
Columbia jail to the jail in Charleston.
Joseph Crews had selected that number
out of the senenty-tive to be hung, the
balance to go to Albany for life. 4

Laarens County and l never can for
get the unhappy sight of tears rolling
down the faces Of mothers and daugh-
ters in our town and county On account
of our best citizens being lodged in
jail for their political principles.
Joseph Crews takes the petition to
Washington, and through the influence
of that petition with the President he
was furnished guns and ammunition,
which were shipped to this State for
the purpose Of destroying the men,
women and children of South Carolina.
One word to the farmers of the 4th
Congressional district: Don't vote for
a man who has affiliated with the Rad
ical party in any way during the Radi-
cal reign in South Carolina. Don't
vote for man who is n favor of the
sub-treasury bill-a bill Tor dema-
gogueS to run into Office on, a bill II it
should pass, would bring woe and
misery on the people of South Caro-
lima. Farmer Laurens County.

Townsend from Siberia. Her command
er, Captain John Thomas, has sent to
this citya a description OF the Russlan
exile system as witnessed by him. He de-
scribes the brutal scene he witnessed on
Laghien Island, a famous Russian exile
prison. \ large party Of exiles of all
ages, heavily manacled. were being
taken to the island. y few old men
whose strength gave out fell from ex-
haustion. The brutal driver, acting
under orders from his superior, shot the
unfortunate men and removed their
chains. No mercy or discrimination
were shown. Wives saw their husbands
killed before their eyes; mothers saw
their daughters outraged and insulted.
The exiles were driven like cattle. a
heavy whip being used to urge them on.
The prison cells were filthy, and the
treatment barbarous

Strange Pho -comcna that startle North
Carolina.
.AsuvILLE, n. c., Sept. 10.-Reports
received here from number Of reliable
citizens in the neighborhood of Bee
Tree creek, a tributary of the Sewannee
river, twelve miles east Of this city,
state that for the third time since the
Charleston earthquake, smoke has for
some days been regularly emitted in
considerable volume from the seven
mountain peaks of the Blue Ridge
chain.
The peake have come to be des1gna-
ted The seven smoking mountains.
The occurrence has excited the region
in which the smoke is visible, and many
Of the people are alarmed.
J. w. Boone, a highly responsible cltl-
zen of Bee Tree creek neighborhood, has
given The Citizen of this place an ac-
count of his observation of the phenon-
enal columns of smoke. He says: For
the past two weeks each morning about
8 o'clock vast columns of black smoke,
rising to the height of about three hun
dred feet, have issued from Watch Knob,
Rocky Knob and five other Blue Ridge
mountain peaks, which are visible from
Bee Tree creek. Some of the people of
the neighborhood visited the mountains
and found that the smoke, as it issued
from the peaks, had strong sulphuric
odor.
These peaks were first observed to be
smoking in October of tie year of the
Charleston earthquake. That year the
smoking lasted two weeks. 1t then
ceased until last year, when, for three
weeks, beginning in September, the
peaks were again in d state OF activity.
This year the phenomena have lasted
two weeks and have been witnessed by
more than 500 people.
An effort is being made to have Pro-
fessor c. ID. Smith, geologlst Of Macon
county, and Gen. L. l.. Cllngman IN

pie have become so alarmed that they
say they will leave thencighbOrhood

C~arpenters' Wages.
andard's Special Wire,

By the standards special Wire.
Butte, April 20.-With the opening OF
the building season, the inquiry has been
heard as TO whether there is likely to be
any change in carpenters wages owing to
the recent organization of a Butte carpen-
ters' union. 1t is authoritively stated that
there will he no change. The union was
organized for the purpose of maintaining
the wages at the present standard. Some
incapable carpenters had worked Tor less
than the regular schedule, and il was
thought best to organize a union to pre-
vent anything of the kind from occurring
this summer. Wages will be - per day,
and a little more for carpenters working
in mines.
