,enger train No 5, which left here at
1870 o'clocklast night, met with ater.
rible acci6ent twenty-five minutes later
at the Pottery switch near Monmouth,
sixteen miles west of here. The train
was running at a high rate of speed.
The facts show that the switch was
partly open, and the locomotive left
the main track and started on the side
track; some of the cars behind kept on
the main track, and as the result the
whole train of seven cars, except tie
sleeper, was derailed and turnen over
on side, the cars being scattered around
in great confusion. There was no tel
escaping. There were on the engine
Engineer a, A. Emery and Neils An
derson, OF this city, and George Court
ney, a travelling engineer. who went
out on the trip to seq how the new loco
motive worked. Anderson was blown
from the cab by steam. Emery ard
Courtney had no chance to escape and
their bodies were found close to the To-
connective. The baggage and express
men were thrown across their cars, but
miraculously escaped injury. a young
man named Frank s. Johnson of Avon,
who with w. II. Hard, of Abingdon,
was standing on the steps. CH the smok-
ing car attempted TO jump off. He was
thrown under the wheels and killed.
Hardy jumped and escaped injury.
The baggage car caught fire, but the
flames were promptly eXtinguishcd by
Baggagemau John Dore. Oscar Him
norman was pitched through the win.
dow of the smoking a nnhurt. He
hurried back to stop two incoming
trains.
The saddest casualty happened in
the chair car, just back Of the smoker.
II one seat in the middle of the car sat
Mr.. George Allen, his wife and baby.
She was next to the window, and as the
car tipped over her head was driven
through the window and she was in
stantly killed. The baby war hurled
across the Car, but, save a cut on its
head, was uninjured. Allen received
bruises. He found his baby first, then
CROPPED his way from the car for a Ian
tern and returning found his wife
dead.
The scene after the wreck is said to
have been heartrending and panicky.
The Imprisoned passengers beat out
the windows of the cars to effect their
escape. a large force of surgeons and
railroad officials went from here and
Burlington. In addition to the four
killed eighteen were injured, but the
injuries Of some were SO slight that
they left on the next train. Great sur
prise Is expressed that the list of tho
dead is not larger.

WILKESBARRE, Oct. 1S.-"Granny"
Farrell is one Of the distinguished resi-
dents OF the village of Sturmerville.
She is % years old. For thirty-one
years she has been n widow. Her hus-
band was killed in the war. She draws
u good pension, but insists on Lying the
life Of a hermit. She has no relatives,
and lives in Il little frame house a
quarter of a mile from the nearest
neighbor. She was last seen in Pittston
about the middle of September. She
told a storekeeper there that she had
laid in her winters supply of pro-
visions, and would soon lock herself up.
"Granny's" neighbors knew what that
meant.
Every winter she locks herself up
and nobody sees her until the spring
again. When the house was closed day
light never entered. She lived by lamp
light. She always claimed that the
light of winter was cold and that she
burned less coal when the house was
closed up tight. "Granny's" only com.
panion was u big Newfoundland dog.
When she went to the cellar for coal
the dog would always accompany her.
He would take the coal bucket in his
mouth and carry it up stairs. lie would
do this with the ash bu ;ket. Dick, like
his mistress, would never leave the
house in winter.
On Saturday last the dog made his
escape from the house. He went to Mr..
Sankey's, inc nearest ncighbor, and set
up a fearful barking. lie would start
off toward the house of his mistress,
whining, and then return again. Mrs.
Sackey said old Granny" was either
dead or very sick. The dog leaped for
joy when three persons started off with
him. Arriving at the house the dog
went into a cellar hole, where he had
made his exit from the house. 1t was
found that he had torn away two big
boards which had been nailed fast. Ills
front jaws we're badly lacerated and his
mouth was very sore.
The Sankey's broke down the door,
and when they entered they found
Granny" more dead than alive. She
had been stricken with paralysis. The
last food she took was bologna sausage
and hard crackers. The sausage had
been dragged from a cupboard to the
bed by the dog. He now occupies a
place at the foot of his mistress's bed.
The doctor says Granny" cannot live.

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Oct. 2S.-A dis
located neck is the latest penalty paid
by a football player. When a day or
two ago, Augustine Paul, who lives at
NO. 324 East Fifth street, was playing
The absorbing game with u crowd of
companions, he was SHIELD" by a dozen
boys, one OF whom put his knee in the
lads neck. At once it was discovered
that some thing terrible had happened
to young Paul. He could not put his
head back or forward. lie was taken
home and adoctOr called.
The physician felt the lads neck and
made the startling announcement that
it was dcsolated. A careful examina-
ton showed that n Of the vetrebr;c
had been knocked out of place and
pushed far to the front. a second We
trcbric had been partially forced down
ward to ill up the cavity in the back of
the neck. a large dent is noticeable on
the back part, while a great p~rotrusion
extends III front, like a huge adams
apple"
Several doctors have since been call
ed in to look at the boy who is suffering
from the strange injury. At first he
was agonized with singing pans such
as lmVarible accompany the d~islocation
OF a bone. The pain has partially SUBJ
sided. But this is a small consideration
compared to the risky condition the un-
fortunate lad is in. The doctors saw
they will not dare replace the vertebric,
as they might snap the vital spinal
column i'll the operation. 1t is very ten
ucr, and n break would DO instant death
to the patient.
Again, they fear they might strain The
cord aud cause paralysis of the whole
body. Hence nature will be left to take
her course. 1T the dislocated vcrtebrp
go back TO their proper places, tie boy
will recover. AT present his head is
thrown far back. The chin is greatly
elevated, and movement fore and aft is
Imposiblo. Props aud braces support
Tie head TO some extent, to relieve the
wounded member of any unnecessary
strain.

Eight Trestles Burned.

MACON, Ga, Oct. 29.-Elght tres.
ties on the Central Railroad, between
Oconcc and Sun Hill, were burned Mon
day night and the matter caused the
greatest .:cltcment. Investigation
proved Tat the ~trestlcs had been set on
fire, and opinion lirs. attributed it to dis
charged employees of the Richmond &
DanVillc system. The parties also cut
the telegraph wires in several places.
This morning detectives, assisted by
parties from Tcnnlllc and Sandcrsyille,
arrested two brothers named Horton, of
Horton, who robbed the cspress tram
near Savannah 4 short time since, aud
they are now in Jail. The men delied
arrest, but were finally surrounded and
taken. 1t is claimed the men made re-
pcatcd threats to commit deprcdatIons
il their brother was not released from
jail.
For the past two weeks fires, evident
ly started by incendlarlcs, have been
put out just i'll time TO save serious
wrecks, hut the trouble has been kept
quiet, in the hope OF capturing the per-
petrators. Trains have been shot into,
cross tics placed on the track and wires
cut. The burning of the trestlc reached
the climax, and 1t Is believed the same
men originated all tho trouble.
Horizons went from their home at Sun
Hill 10 Oconee, fifteen miles distant,
Sunday. They remained in hiding till
night and then started back, burning the
trestlcs as they went. The men were
tracked from Oconcc to Sun Hill. The
Horizons were carried to Sandersvllle
Tor saie-kceping, as talk was equally
general of Iynching and rescue. The
most intense excitement prevails, as
more than half Il dozen fires have oc-
Cured on the Richmond and Danvil c
system during the past week.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 23.-John $.
Summers, a white farmer from the Lex
ington Fork section, was relieved of
$50 last night, much to his dissatisfac-
ton.
Summers told the tale of the robbery
to Chief of Police Iligbe and several
other parties, and it was noted that his
story varied very much in detail.
To u Register reporter Summers told
his stale of woe" He said that about
11.30 o'clock he was walking along
Gervais street and at the corner of Lin
coin street was met by a man who seiz-
ed him by the shoulder and asked if he
(Summers) knew him.
Summers looked at his i~nterlocutor
and said "Yes, you're Bill Baxter"
Baxter then Informed Summers that
he was going to beat him and common
ced shaking him. Suddenly Baxter
threw him across a ditch.
Summers picked himself up and came
back across the ditch. ~ colored wo-

"My moneys gone"
Summers said that when Baxter met
him, he had $65, six tens and a five dol

was walking along with his hand on it.
He was unable to say when the money
disappeared, but thought he might have
jerked the roll Git was wrapped in paper)
out of his pocket when no was thrown
over the ditch. lie claims that another
man was present with Baxter during
the whole transaction, and thinks that
he might have iilched the money from
his pocket. He said it was possible that
the colorvd woman might have abstract
ed the money.
AT any raje he spent considerable
time searching around the place where
he was assaulted for fear that he might
not have been robbed. he might simply
have dropped the money in the scufle.
a long slit in his pants and another
in his cuat just owe the pockets Sum-
mers pointed to. He was unable to say
who cut them, but claimed they were
made during the struggle.
Tho police were informed of tho cir

Summers heard that q colored woman
