Buried Beneath the Wreck.

FORT WAYNE, IND, July 3.-A terri
BILE accident occurred at Kellar's Station,
thirty-fve miles west Of this city, on the
line Of the Wabash Road, at 2.90 this
morning, in which five men lost their
lives. A terrific wind and rain storm
swept over that section about midnight,
and waterspout broke near that point,
which was so violent as to food every
thing in the vicinity. The volume of wa
ter was such as to undermine the bed of
the Wabash road, and the embankment
was washed out, leaving the rails aus
pended In theair with no support. A west
bound freight plunged into the washout.
The engine and nine cars went down, and
the locomotive turned over on its side.
On the engine were Engineer G. w. Shor-
rey and Master of Bridges Harvey Dun
lap, of Fort Wayne, Dan Moore, fireman,
G. F. Wilcox, trainmaster, and Lineman
Charles Helm, of Peru, all of whom were
buried beneath the wreck.
About midnight all the wires went
down, and the officials and linemen were
going out on the freight train looking for
the trouble. All were in the cab and death
came withouta moments warning. Word
was sent to this city bya circuitous route,
and relief train with surgeons and a
wrecking outfit was at once dispatched to
the scene of the accident. The east-bound
New York express due at this point ct
4.30 q. M, had narrow escape, as 1t
passed the point where the freight went
down only thirty minutes previous to the
accident.

fourth of July with "General Green"
who has been quite interesting with the
farmers for the last two weeks, but they
have been working with q can-and-will
determination and the crops throughout
this section are looking very fiattering.
Indeed, the gardens are as fine as we
ever saw them with eatables of all kind.
Mrs. j. r. Milford and Aunt Sallie have
the best gardens we have ever seen.
One of our neighbors informed US re.
Gently that his watermelons were fine and

Twill kindly think of you on that occa-

from me, but can talk to him better pri-
vately than can this way and will say
no more at present.

It has been about month since wrote
the Long Branch news, but l will not tell
you all that has happened since that time,
for if did those young lsdies who went 10
mill few days ago would get angry.
We have been having fine seasons for
the past TWO weeks, and the crops are fine.
Mr.. B. 81. Greer has the finest field Of
corn We have seen. We hear general
complaint among the melon growers of
this section Of too much rain for their
vines, causing them to fire and tho small
melons to drop off.
The fruit crop is good in this section.
Politics have about quieted down in this
section and the majority OF our people are

The health of this sectivn Is good with
the exception Of Master Frank Breazeale,
who is sick with fever. We trust be will
soon be up again.

We attended preaching at Barker's Creek
last Sunday and heard very interesting
sermon preached by the pastor, Rev. D.
Weston Hiott, to large and attentive au-
dience. His text was the second Corinth-
ians 5th chapter and the 10th verse, con:
tanning these words: "For we must all
appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
that every one may receive the things
done in his body according to that he
hath done, whether good or bad"

The Lnurens Mystery.

Dave Shaw, the negro who has been
presumably lynched and "unlynched"
about dozen times in Sullivan town
ship, Laurens county, is again the sub
ject of executive correspondence and
Governor Tillman believes he is alive.
But so far as this end of the line is con-
cerned the mysterious Dave Shaw's
"body" has not yet been produced and
the conclusive proof that he is alive has
not been furnished.
Here is telegram Governor Tillman
received from Greenville yesterday.

Governor Tillman has telegraphed back
to Mr.. Latimer, whom he says is q man
of reputation, that he did not offer re-
ward for the men save in the case of q
lynching.
The best proof that the negro is alive
is to produce him, and that would seem
the surest way Of settling the matter;
but it is very certain that If he was not
lynched he can 4 taleunfold which would

Let's hold up awhile on politics and
talk about the oldtime glorious fourth OF
July. The day that was once hailed with
90 much delight, we have nothing to re-
mind us Of now but cheap excursion
rates. There are some who live now can
remember the time with emotion too
deep for words. They were fresh from
the great events which we read OF as old
matters Of history. Old things wore then
tia beauty Of novelty, and long posses
sion had not dulled the sense Of enjoy
ment. This generation seems to think
that their social and political privileges
belong to them as naturally as the air and
lirht, and reflect as little on the way in
which they came by them. The very
magnitude of our blessings makes us In
sensible of their value. The whole thing
has become to MS an old story. We have
heard 30 much of the times that tried
mems souls that we are growing weary
of The sound. But be who greets the
light of this morning with no throb OF
generous feeling is unworthy to be called
q good citizen. The people who cannot
forget themselves in admiring true great
ness. can never be great, and the power OF
iustly appreciating and heartily reverence
ing exalted merit is, in itself, true sign
Of noble nature.
Everybody is busy now, but the harder
the shower the sooner it's over.
There is good time coming when we
will have nothing to do but to eat melons
and keep cool.
Mrs. w. B. Hawkins and the little boy
are spending awhile at her old home IN

Mr., G.. D. Morrison's cotton blooms are

His field is as wide open as the Worlds

uprightness of character. Her good old
