Our two Senators.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 15.-Sena-
tor Butler has placed himself firmly on
the side of the free silver column by in
Producing to-day an amendment to the
Lodge resolution providing for the repeal
of the State bank tax and the free and un
limited coinage of silver. The Lodge
resolution provides for stopping the pur
chase Of silver under the Sherman law.
Senator Butler will defend his position
in an even-tempered speech tomorrow or
next day. He will not indulge In an at
tack upon the President, as Senator Vest
did yesterday, and as other Southern
Senators are expected to do. Senator
Butler has pronounced views in favor of
free coinage, and he can express them
without dealing with the subject as po-
litical issue.
Senator Irby evidently finds his friend
ship with Secretary Hoke Smith valuable.
To-day he called at the Interior Depart
ment, and after few minutes converse
ton with the Secretary secured appoint
ments for James I. Fair, of Newberry,
and Robert CAN'T, of spartanburg.
Senator Irby is an attentive listener to the
silver debate in the Senate and House,
but be does not propose to speak on the
subject. He is prepared to vote for free
silver and adjourn

Lightning's Work.

S4NDEHsyILLE, GA, August 2O.-Dur-
ing q thunder storm Saturday afternoon
lightning struck we'll in Colonel j. N.
Gilmore's lot, shattering the covering
over it and descending into the water,
carrying the ourbing with it. In q
second or two dense volume of steam
began emanating from the we'll, and as
soon as the electrical vapor abated suffi-
ciently to allow one to venture near the
well, Bill Ford, who was in the lot at the
time, lowered an old, empty oyster can
and drew up some of the water, which
was almost boiling. When the water
cooled sufficiently Bill dipped his finger
in it and received terrible electric
shock.
Nearly every man, woman and child in
town have visited the wrecked we'll, but
none would dare to touch the water after
Bill Ford's experience. A bottle Of the
water was sent to the State chemist. II

be illuminated by electricity, and a line

Fell Through a Bridge.

DANvILLE, VA, August 16.-An awful
accident occurred at the county line
trestle, just east of Milton, this morning
at $50 O'Clock, by which two passenger
coaches and sleeper were precipitated
into the creek below, distance of sixty
feet, resulting in the killing of seven
persons out right and the wounding Of a
number of others.
The train left here at 1.35 this morn
ing, and was the regular train bound for
Portsmouth. After passing through
Milton, and going over the trestle, the
engineer, Peyton Tunstall, who says he
was running at the rate of ton miles an
hour, felt the bridge giving way. He
threw open the throttle, and the engine,
tender and a box car got safely over, but
the passenger car was too late, and the
span went down under it's weight, the
second passenger car and sleeper follow
ing.
The cars were shivered into kindling
wood, and the escape of any of the pas
sengers was a miracle. The water in the
creek had risen to the depth of twelve or
that the rise had undermined the fuun-
dation OF the iron piers, causing the trestle
to settle.
On the train at the time there were six
teen persons, including the train hands.
In the sleeper was Mrs. Harvey Gersb,
two children and nurse, of Winston, N.
c.; Conductor J. L. Sizer, of Richmond,
and J. R. Townes, the colored porter. The
nurse was drowned and the conductor and
porter were slightly injured. Mrs.
Giersh was on her way to Lawrenceville
to visit friends.
The depot agent at Milton heard the
crash and Immediately gave the alarm by
tolling the bell. The people turned out
in full force and went 10 work at once to
rescue the dead and injured from the
debris.
Mr.. j. L. Sizer, the Pullman conduc-
tor, in speaking Of the accident, says:
II had just gotten through with my col
lections and had reported to Capt. Nor
ris, who had passed forward on the train,
and was preparing to retire when the
crash came. Fortunately l was in the
forward end Of my car. Mrs. Giersch's
nurse was in the rear end Of the car,
where she was found with head and chest
under the water, and was probably
drowned, as there we're no heavy timbers
OF anything else on her body that might
have caused her DEATH"
The little thirteen-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Giersch, not realizing the danger
through which she had passed, said to
the rescuers: "Don't mind me; am not
hurt, but please take mamma out.'
The injuries of none of the wounded
will prove serious.
The dead were removed to the railroad
depot at Milton, where they were kept
until the arrival of the coroner from
Halifax G. H., the accident occurring on
the Halifax side Of the creek.
HEAVY LOSS.
The loss will be very heavy to the rail-
road company, as the cars and full span
of the bridge are total loss. The pas
sengers, mail, baggage, freights, etc., are
passing on through, they being trans-
ferred at the creek.
Mesers. Elan and Davis who were
killed, were in Danville yesterday, and
the former had concluded at one time not
to leave for home until to-day, but
afterwards changed his mind, and went
by the early morning train.

long ago.

Judge Simonaon has rendered de-
cision that section 25 of the dispensary
law contravenes the Interstate commerce
law and the 14th amendment to the Con-
stitution. The case came up by the
arrest Of depot agent by the State for
receiving and delivering keg of whis-
key shipped from without the State.
.The 18th section of the dispensary act
forbids railroads and their employees
from hauling or removing liquors except
as therein permitted. Judge Simonton's
decision renders null and void this Sec
ton Of the act. The effect of the decision
is that liquors can be shipped from with
out tho State and delivered by the rail-
roads to the consignees, and that such
liquors do not fall within the police reg
,ulations of the State until after the
delivery. The decision will seriously in
terfere with the Administrators iniqui-
tous scheme for raising revenue for the
State. Good. Our Constitution provides
that revenue shall be raised by taxation,
'not by whiskey monopoly.

Marion Street Methodist church, YVES at
tended by an unusually large crowd of
people from other denominations yester-
day morning, many of them anticipating
something sensational.
Rev. Mr.. Rlweu delivered a splendid
sermon and at its conclusion asked the
members to remain after service as there
was somo church business for their con-
sideration.
AS soon as the congregation was dis
missed and the mem bers were alone with
their pastor, he stated that they were all
no doubt familiar with the case in hand,
which was that of one Of their brothers
who had been reported for violation of
the church rules, He said that it had
become his duty to notify Mr., Carflege
that he must appear for trial Of the Of

whole church. He then read Mr.. Cart
lege's letter dated July Z, and which was

correspondence between himself and Mr..
Cartlege to tho press for publication.
and he therefore left the matter with
the whole congregation for their action.
He then read the church laws under which
Mr.. Cartlege had been summoned before
them. Rule 2l3 he said, was the rule
under which they must consider this
case, and it was as follows: "Let all of
our preachers and members abstain from
the manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquors to be used as a beverage, and if
any shall engage in such manufacture or
sale, let the discipline be administered as
in the case of I'M orality." Mr.. ElWell
said that it was for them to determine
whether Mr.. Cartlege was selling liquor
to be used as beverage or for the pur-
pose of sickness and Tor manufacturing
purposes. On that subject he would not
suggest. .
Mr. j. F. Williams arose and said that
there was no use ip attempting any ex-
cuse for Mr.. Cartlege OK to deny thai he
was selling whiskey to be used as bnVe-
rage. He said that he knew Of two cases,
which he could prove, where he nold

dispensary whiskey would make man
as drunk as barroop whiskey. He there
fore moved that Mr.. Cartlege be held in
disobedience Of the church rules and in
defiance thereof.
DIR. Schorb stated that he felt that there
was no excuse for Mr.. Cartlege, and
agreed with Mr., Williams. AS there
were no others who wers disposed to dis
cuss the matter, rising vote was taken
and q unanimous verdict against Dir Cart

the score that he was an tsenemy Of the
people, But the Democrats knew their
QYn minds and they knew Grover Cleye-
land from experience. They nominated
and elected him as if there had been no
petty opposition.
& Cleveland q first utterance on the finan-
Scial sitnation was not his last message,
for he had written letter on the subject
;sa year before his nomination, setting
forth his views on this question. These
came writer's and takers then predicted
his political doath and worked to that
1 end. But the Democratic party elected
him triumphently as the grandest expon-
Sent Of Democratic principles in. the coun-
try.
But the Calamity howlers'' must howl,
and hence Cleveland's message was
1.written in the interest Of Wall Street, !"
s.bribed for million dollars,'' against
silver, the peoples money" ad nauseam.
We challenge any man with ordinary
( good sense to prove that the whole
strength Of the message does not plead
earnestly for an honest money and for a
sufficient amount to supply the wants of
the country. Nothing more than that is
desired by honest men, and nothing more
is demanded by the Democratic party.
BY the same kind Of illogical reasoning
ssnd disregard of plain meaning used by
these writers and takers NE can prove
that the message favored the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver. For instance,
the message asks for sound and stable
currency in sufficient volume to meet the
needs Of all business. Silver just such
q currency and the needs Of the country
demand its unlimited coinage. Ergo,
Cleveland Is for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver.
I: Butt dangers from too contracted
currency ona gold basis alone and from
san inflated and deprecated currency from
the free coinage Of silver will likely be
prevented by unreasonable compromise
in Congress between the extremists that

its pecuniary obligations in money uni

tries" And that is what the President
