Monon Wreck Scene
CHARLOTTESVILLE March 23.-[Special. =
But few short weeks ago the dreadful
word reached the city, and spread over it
like wild-fre. that Monon passenger had
jumped the rails Just north of town and
left in its track death and destruction.
The story of the awful, CHASTITY process
sion with its blanched faces, as it came
slowly into town Oh that memorable after
noon is we'll remembered aud can never
be forgotten. The sight of those wrecked
cars, smoking ruins, crippled people and
dead bodies on the hill side is fresh IN the
memory of ell.
Since that fatal day quiet melancholy
seems to have lowered over the I'M
fortunate spot. Even horses and cows
shun it. Birds turn their flight as they
approach it. Only the morbidly curious
have ventured near it.
Last night leading physician of this
city, who was present few moments after
the awful catastrophe and was an eve wit
ness to the terrible, heart-rending scene,
was called from his warm bed TO see a
sick man who resides not far from where
the wreck occurred. lie told the Argus-
AelrS this morning OF his midnight trip
which, II il did not turn his raven locks
white, gave him scare that he will never
recover from. He Gays that just as he ap-
preached the foot OF the short hill, where
the wreck occurred, he heard the distant
rumbing OF an approaching train. Check
ing his horse he waited, and in q moment
the north-bound Monon passenger dashed
by on its way TO Chicago. Before the
bright lights of the many windows had
disappeared and the distant rumbhng of
the wheels had died away while the
long line of heavy, black smoke,
still lowered over the hill, a sight
met his gaze that almost paralvzed
him with fear. With the greatest difficulty
ne held his horse. wild with fright and

fatal coaches had rolled down. he saw two

Since the horrible wreck OF January no
less than three accidents have occurred
on this spot. Only last week, while John
Rogers, a young farmer living north OF the
city, was walking along the track he
noticed a distortion of the rails before
him and was fortunate enough to stop the
train before it dashed to pieces on the
dangerous rails.

Rewarded for Defending q Pole and Not the

to the effect that Mrs Mary A. Whittinger,
a school teacher, was presented $40 in
gold by her friends for defending a flag,
which bad been suspended in the school
yard, from being torn down. Mr.. Jackson
saws Mrs. Whittinger is not a school
teacher. She is q married woman and
the school house adjoins her farm. The
republicans put up an ash pole and sus-
pended flag from it. A majority OF the
patrons of the school are democrats and
they objected, not to the flag, but to the
pole, which was made of what is recog-
nized in the country as republican. They
wanted this pole taken down and a nom
partisan pole, made OF poplar or some
other wood than hickory or ash, put up in
its place. But the republican trustees re-
fused. The democrats proposed TO tear
the ash pole down, but Mrs. Whitiineer
armed herself with double-barreled shot
gun and stood guard over the pole. The
democrats were not opposed TO the flag,
but to the pole. Mrs. Whittinger did not
defend the flag, but the pole. The demo-

flag in school yards. but are opposed 10

Hamilton County wheat Prospects.

NoBLEsvILLE, March 24.-[Special. i
This morning THE SENTINEL's correspond
ent called upon A. J. Sohl, the recognized
authority on wheat in Hamilton county,
and asked for his opinion uponthe present
outlook. and what he thought the harvest
of 1892 would WELD.
He said: "By the continual freezing and
thawinR weather that has prevailed in this
locality for the past ten days or two weeks,
fully One-half the crop has already been
destroyed, and if the disagreeable weather
continued much longer the wheat harvest
OF this section OF the state this year would
be almost a total failure"
These statements coming from this high
authority mean great deal, and Sohl's
opinions have been corroborated by large
number of farmers.
