The Cause of the Accident.

The ooroDer's Jury 10 the case OF the wreck
on the Western North Carolina Railroad
near Statewide, N. O., by which twenty
two lives were lost, yesterday found YER
dict that the wreoking of the train was
caused by loose rail, the bolta and spikes
of the same having been taken out by some
person or persons unknown to the jury,
with tools or implements belonging to the
railroad company, which tools or imple-
ments were left By the gross negligence OF
the railroad company in an open shed access
ebIe to everybody. The jury found that
several cross-ties near where the rail was
removed we're unsound, and that the super
structure of the track was in part defective.
The high rate Of speed maintained In going
over the bridge was also censured
This verdict. although it condemns the rail-
road company, accepts the theory that the
prime cause OF the wreck was the malicious
removal OF raj by come misoreant.

Lost in the Everglades

A dispatch to the New York World from
Sanford, Fla, says: Four meD, one Span
lard, undertook to explore the Wild region
of the Everglades. They gave out that they
we're going to south Florida on hunting
| and fishing excursion and sent their outfit
| to Kissimmee. From there they proceeded
to Lake Okeechobse by steamer, and after a
two days journey were landed on the south
bank of that lake, In the heart OF the Ever.
glsdes.
One day, while RECOMMENDING, one of the
party discovered a hill several hundred feet
high which bore marks of cultivation. The
hill was nearly spherical and about mile
10 diameter. Investigation disclosed human
footprints. By this time the explorers were
getting excited, but were hardly prepared
for the next sight that greeted them-a white
man, clad entirely In the skins OF Wild AMI
mails. They piled him with questions. but
the stranger did not understand them. He
led them up path, uncovered In shrubbe-
~, to log cabin, around which two child
rem were playing. Still they were at loss
to communicate until Mr.. Efazuriz, the
Spanisrd, addressed him In that language.
Then the hoodgstes Of speech were OPEN
ed, and the man poured out strange 70
nance.
His name Ia Hernandez. He was one of
the Cuban insurgents la the rebellion of
1868, and was on an lnsurgent vessel In the
straits of Florida when 1t Was pursued by o
Spanish msn-of-war. The captain of the
vessel, seeing that he could not escape. ran
1t Ashore near Rogers river, which emptleH
into Ponce de Leon bay. All we're drowned
but Hernsndes. who was thrown on an IN
Inhabited shore. He wandered about for a
day without seeing signs o. life.
Penetrating the swamp he discovered hut, in
which there WAS young Indian girl, who made
him understand that other Indians in the neigh.
hood would prove dangerous should he meet them
She undertook to guide him to q safe road, but
missed her way, and for six days the two wan
dered In tho wilderness, subsistng on berries till
they chanced to DO on the hill mentioned. Fear
ing to become hopeleesly lost they remained.
There they had stayed all those years, living as
man and wife.
Hernandez had lost all count Of time and had
become quite reconciled to his wild and lonely
life. He was easily persuaded, however to aban.
don it, and the explorers carried him away with
them, furnishing him and his family with civil
lied clothing and with money with which to pro-
coed to Cubs, whore HernadeE hoped to fnd his
parents still living.

pork, but Of all other American food, as the
removal of the duty on American produce
will reduce the price thereof, and is propose d
solely for that purpose. And yet, with all
this before their eyes, the protectionists In

assertion that tariff duty Is not tax.
