TERRIBLE DISASTER.
A HORRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT
IN SWITZERLAND.
A Bridge Collapses Under the Weight of
an Overcrowded Train-Sixty People
Killed and Hundreds Injured.

BERNE, June 14.-A horrible accident
occurred on the Munchen, Stein and
Basle railway through the collapse Of a
bridge beneath heavily loaded excur.
sion train. The train was crowded with
people on the way to attend musical
fete. Sixty persons were killed outs
right, while" hundreds we're injured.
Two engines and the first car plunged
into the river, and all the passengers in
the car were drowned. Two cars re-
mainei suspended from the bridge.
All the trainmen were killed; thirteen
cars were saved.
The musical fete at Munchenstein
was abandoned as soon as the news of
the accident arrived, and hundreds of
villagers hurried to the scene to assist
in rescuing the victims. The bridge
was an iron skeleton structure, which
was considered we'll built and substan-
tial. The only apparent reason for the
collapse is that the train left the rails
and threw its entire weight on one side
of the bridge.

SUNDAY CLOSING AT TACOMA.
The Saloon-Keepers Garry the War Into
Africa.

TACOMA, WASH, June 14.-This has
been the most extraordinary Sunday in
Tacoma's history. A few weeks ago the
anti-saloon association began crusade
against open saloons on Sunday. Prose-
cutions were instituted under the state
law, and conviction was secured in a
test case against saloon-keepers in the
municipal court last Friday. Several
convictions had previously been secured
against gambling houses, and when a
decision was rendered against the
saloons, large proportion of
the population looked aghast.
The saloonkeepers' union yesterday de-
cided to close all saloons. AS the state
law also includes every other kind of
business except undertakers, livery sta
bles and hotels, the saloonkeepers de-
termined that if one should close all
should, and served notices accordingly.
The result is that not saloon. gambling
house, restaurant, cigar or newsstand
has been opened today. Only one con-
fectionery and two or three fruit stands
in the city dared to keep open, and they
will undoubtedly be prosecuted by the
saloOnkeepers.

Zimmerman justice. The erection of the
building was commenced last December
and finished q few weeks ago at cost of
$2,4OO. The walls of the interior are
wainscoted about four feet and then
plastered up to the overhead ceiling and
painted in blocks, one by three feet, in
amber, white and other colors. The over
head is ceiled nearly in the shape of fig

color. The pulpit and altar. as well as the
asles, are nicely carpeted. There are
small closets on each side of the pulpit {;
one will be used as library, and the
other for wood, etc. The windows are of
stained glass; and are high enough to
keep persons on the outside from looking
in. The foundation is of brick. The

death will be heard with regret by his ilu-
merous friends. He discharged his duties
faithfully in this life, and has gone to reap
the rewi rds. On Friday his remains were
inferred in the Baptist Churchyard, of
this city, impressive funeral services being
conducted by Rev. ]. S. Murray.
The Medium will please ponder in its
heart the following: On last Thursday at
about 10 o'clock we were walking from
our office to the Court House when We
County. We stopped few minutes for
talk, and were told by our friends that
they had brought up some cotton to sell,
and had gotten more for it here than they
could get in Abbeville. We asked them
if they had seen that farmer from Abbe-
vile had been branded as "green" for
bringing his cotton To this market. They
said they had, for they read the Medium.
The Medium, then, must add the following
names to its green" list, but it must
Judge for itself whether these gentlemen
brought their cotton here because they
owed LEM: w. B. Going, D. L. Had.
don, W. r Taylor, Tom Sutherland, Bob
Gordon, J. M. Bugner, Charlie Kay, W. J.
Phillips, w. T. Fleming, w. B. Fleming,
Noble Bell, T.. S. Carwile, +. W. r. Nance,
and others whose names We dlQent learn,
all of whom are Abbeville men and live
nearer Abbeville than Anderson, but were
here last Thursday selling cotton because
they ''could get more for it in Anderson
than in Abbeville." At least some Of
these farmers read the Medium, and are
vet "green" enough to bring their cotton
to this market. Has the Medium told its
readers all 1t knows about the Abbeville
cotton market and they still remain
''green." or has it failed to instruct them
on this important subject, or is the fault
with the cotton market itself? We think
sheer distance keeps many an Abbeville
farmer from being held up to the world
as "green." We have noticed that one Of
those "green" farmers never quits being
"green," seemingly prefering to be 80.
The Medium is somewhat noted as an "up-
land corn farmer" but evidently is not
good authority concerning cotton matters.
It is we'll enough, General, to talk "up-
land corn" to your readers, but you waste
words in advising intelligent farmers to
sell their cotton in Abbeville at a sacrifice
of several dollars bale just for the sake
of selling in Abbeville.
