WESTERN CAROLINA WRECKS.
Two SERIOUS Disasters on the w. n.
@. r. F.. Yesterday-N0 Loss OF Life.

Two wrecks occurred Monday on
the Western North Carolina railroad,
a division of the Richmond & Dan
vile, one near Alexandria, N. c., the
other near Marion, N. G. The first
wreck Was the collision of two freight
trains, and a great many of the cars
we're demolished. The passenger
train No. IL was delayed, and at 2
O'Clock d. M, special train left
Asheville, N. c., according to sched-
ule time. At Marion this train was
delayed again on account of another
wreck which occurred near the place
above mentioned. Two freight
trains collided here, due to steep
grade, and six cars were demolished ,
the engine and the remaining cars
totally destroyed By Are. The tracks
were torn up and it took several
hours before the repairs were made.
A special from Salisbury says the
telegraph wires we're also badly dam
aged. Chief Engineer Moore con-
Quoted the movements Of the wreck
up to 5 o'clock, when Mr.. Bridgcrs,
the superintendent, took charge OF
the affair. Nobody was seriously
injured, although the engineer Of the
demolished engine, a brother Of the
chief engineer, Mr.. Brockmore, who
jumped from his engine, and also the
firman, were badly bruised.

GREAT VIRGINIA EXCITEMENT,
Clifton Forge the Scene Saturday of
: Murders. Lynchins & Other Crimes.

A terrible shooting ARRAY occurred
at Clifton Forge Va, Saturday.
1t seems that between IL and -
O'Clock, six strange negroes went in
town. They were at once regarded
as suspicious characters by some OF
the citizens, but nothing was done
towards taking them up at first. :.
They were drinking and creating
confusion in different ways and at
| last proceeded across the railroad
tracks near the Jackson river and
there insulted some ladies and COM
| mitted other depredations.
When this was done some white
gentlemen, who were near by, tried to
stop their misbehavior by arresting
them, but they resisted.
Each OF the negroes were armed
with two revolvers, and they re-
treated down the the river in the di-
rection of Iron Gate.
Some twelve or fifteen white people
followed them, and just this side of
Iron Gate, i'll the deep gorge where
the river run through Wilson Hill
and the Rich Patch Mountains, they
commenced firing at the whites.
One white man named Philip Bowl
ing, brakeman on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway, was killedoutright,
and another Erred, Wilkinson) SER
iously injured.
Three of the negroes implicated
were caught and "swung into eterni-
ty."
An indignant mob of about four or
five hundred men proceeded to the
jail, broke the door and iron bars
and carried them just out OF the
corporate limits of the town to a
place Known as "Slaughter-House
Hollow The two were swung I'D
together
After the two were hung and about
three hundred bullets had pierced
their bodies, the excited crowd went
back to the Jail and procured a third,
this time covering him in cart. He
was swung up in the same manner as
the first two and riddled withe bull
let's
AZ fthe negroes could be heard
n = away begging for mercy in
n~e SJiful tones.
The mayor and officers Of the towd
tried to reason with the mob, but in
vain.
The youngest one of the negroes,
being nothing but a mere boy, was
turned loose and told to leave town
with all possible speed. .
The mob was composed of railroad
men principally from all points on
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway
west OF Charlottesville, and many
from on the Richmond and Allegheny
railroad.

eERONG AND IMPROVING.
Hopeful Outiooks in the South
Dun's Review Of Trade.

Dun's weekly review of trade says ::
Business failures occurring through
out the country during last week
number. for the United States 227,
Canada 80; total $50, against 27O
last week.
Business throughout the West and
South is strong and improving. At
the Eastern centres there is less salts
faction, and expected results from
the harvesting of large crops are
ing confidence in the future of bust
ness continues undated, and is seen
even in some branches which COM
plain most of dullness at present.
Considering that steel rail production
uses much less iron than in former
years, the enormous consumption is
to many incomprehensible. But the
demand for it's use in producing all
kinds of farm machinery and imple-
ments is far greater than it has been
in any previous year, and the quanti-
ty of iron thus used in enormous
The demand for structural iron is
also large, though some foreign
beams are offered in competition
with American, and in the construc-
ton of bridges, street railways and
buildings in cities and towns through
out the country, it is probable greater
quantities of steel and iron are used
than in any previous year.
Cotton manufacture is active with
out change in price. Reports from
other cities are almost uniformly en-
couraging.
Trade in groceries Is good especially
in sugar.
At Montgomery, Charleston and
Savannah, the receipts of cotton are
very large and business growing, and
at Jacksonville the largest orange
crop ever grown promises improve
ment in trade.
Speculation has not been very
heavy, though corn and oats aresus-
tanned in the face of great crops, and
wheat is a shade higher.

ii, 5ez PASSENGERS II TWO DAYS.
This is What the Electric Street Rail
way Haulcd-on Saturday they
Carried 9,865.

Saturday was a field day for the
Electric Street Railway Co., of our
cities. Nine thousand eight hundred
and sixty FIVE passengers was the
number for which tickets were taken
up, while perhaps in the rush there
was quite II number that rode on the
cars who did not pay. We challenge
any Street Car Company in the State
in fact, we don't believe there Was
any two days travel upon any other
street railway in the State that can
equ al it. On Sunday the Street
Car Company took up four thousand
eight hundred and ninety-nine fares.
This will make for the two days
travel fourteen thousand seven hun-
dred and sixty-four passengers. A
pretty big thing is it not? we'll We
should smile The Street Car Com
pany had also just opened up a new
line beyond Wachovia Brook through
the properties of the Winston-Salem
Development Co. Over this new line
on Saturday they hauled nine
hundred and eighty-one passengers on
Sunday they hauled 975. Thus
for the two first days cars ran
through this property they haul
1856 passengers. There is no mis-
taking but what this is big business
and we challenge the street cars OF
the State to make an equal showing.
We would like to hear from some of
the Street Car Companies Of the
State and learn of their biggest days.
This immense number Of people were
hauled without single accident
either to the cars or people. This is
a fine record and Superintendent
Cooper should be congratulated upon
it's achievement, while the Street
Car Company should feel proud of
its showing. 1t is one of the best
street car systems in the United
States and for the length of mileag e.
it is operated in one of the best cities
in the South. Three cheers for our
electric street cars, they are a grand
institution anG we feel proud of
them.

From a careful estimate we find
there are now over two thousand
pupils attending school In Winston

be beaten by any city in the State.
This number is likely to be materi-

West Winston and North Winston
Graded Schools, the Davis Military

Salem Bows School and several pri-

people are thoroughly awakened to
the cause of education end are doing
what they can to offer all the facil-
