would have been just as creditable to

no unseemly demonstrations and the
great number who attended the meet

men were thinking and willing to hear
their interests discussed by those who
should be able te give information con-
corning matters of interest to them.

ment because Governor Pattison, of
Pennsylvania, and Governor Fleming,
Of West Virginia, conldlnot-be present.
Governor Campbell was visited by dele

tits also stated that the particular
trestle, with others, was condemned
two years ago and that the engineer
who condemned them was discharged
from the service OF the company be-
cause OF his report 1t is the almost
unanimous opinion of the people here
that the railroad company is directly
responsible for heaccident. Just what
the outcoms will be it is difficult to pre-
dict, but it seems likely that the matter
will be thoroughly ventilated. The
railroad people claim that the accident
was due to fire. That track walker
goes over the road every day, but that
the trestle was at the end OF u section
and the train reached it before the
track walker. However, it has been
cannon talk here for some time that
the road was in bad condition, and
when the accident was reported more
than one said: "Well, that's what |
expected sooner or later"

DuRYlNd THE DEAD.

Yesterday all the dead whose homes
were away from Charleston were sent
home. Walter Welcher and wife were
buried here yesterday and their little
one.year-old daughter is in the hands
OF friends. L. G. Rose, once the Repub-
iican candidate for county superinten-
dent OF schools, was buried this morn
ing, and Col. w. L. Fife, who was COM
mander Of Camp Patton, Confederate
Veterans, was buried this afternoon.
The camp attended in a body; also
many members OF the Masonic frater-
nifty, Of which he was a members
Coroner Silman went TO the scene OF
the disaster Saturday, but decided not
to hold any inquest. There is much
feeling against the railroad company
here and the friends OF Colonel Fife
have been busy collecting evidence for
use in criminal prosecution. They
say they have conclusive evidence that
the trestle was not burned but had sim
ply rotted away. One man says that on
his way down yesterday he pulled u
number of spikes out OF the ties with
his fingers.

R. S. Truslow who was reported killed
is still living and may recover. R. j.

A story was told OF an unknown

to be under the wreck, but both cars
were turned over by wrecking crew
yesterday. No ono was found under
