How to Guess a Trains Speed.
From The Washington Post.

From The Washington Post
Superintendent Alvey, of the Balti-
more and Ohio road, lives out at Tako-
ma, and the coterie of commuters in
the smoking car always save seat for
him in the morning, 10 matter how big
the crowd may be. Coming in to
church recently some one asked him
how fast the train was running. He
pulled out his watch, and, after quick
ly glanclng at it, peered intently out of
the window. In little while be re-
marked quietly: .....
This train is going between thirty
one and thirty-two miles an hour"
There was chorus of queries as to
how he had determined it, because his
manner left no doubt in the mind Of
any one that be was entirely serious.
"It is very easy to find out the speed
when you are travelling on double
tracked road" be replied. eff you are
curious about it hereafter just look at
the inside OF the outer rail- ou ..ie OPP
posite track for minute or two until
you fad that you can distinguish
where one rail joins the other. Then
count the joints, and as many rails as
YOU pass in twenty-one seconds is the
number of miles your train is travelling
an hour. Try it yourselves and figure
it out, and you'll find out that I am
right" .--... ...-

RAILROAD WRECK NEAR CHESTER
miraculous Escape of Pullman Car Fas-
sengers.
Special to News and Courier.

Especial to News and Courier.
COLUMBIA, January ia series OF
miracles saved the passengers who
were on. the vestibuled train over the
Richmond and Danville and Florida,
Central and Peninsula, which was due
here this morning at l O'Clock. The
train when it left Charlotte was forty
minutes late and was trying to make
up its lost time. Near Chester there IS
q crossing of the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern and the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Roads. 1t is in cut OF
about eight or ten feet and the roads
run at right angles. The conductor
of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
train and number Of passengers on
the train insist that when the passen-
ger train arrived at the crossing it
stopped as the rules require, and the
train hands Of the freight train on the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern, which
did the coilidiDg, make the same
claim.
Mr.. Thomas Cothrau, who was a
passenger on the vestibuled train, had a
narrow escape and gives a graphic ac-
count of the collision. He said that
about l o'clock this morning he woke
up TO find himself in a lot of broken
glass and splinters. He did not take
long to realize the situation and went
TO the rescue Of the lady passen gers.
Opposite him in lower berth were
MIR. and Mrs. Speers, of Pittsburg. He
soon heard the cries of Mrs. Speers
and lifted her out of the mass OF
| wreckage in which she found h|rs"lt
| upon awakening. The other eleven
passengers were more or less exclt?d'
and strange as it may seem the only
passengers injured were Mrs. +. H.
Speers, slight Injury on head; G. D. Nc
Carthy, Washington, bruised; j. i.
Wilson, cut on wrist, and Mrs. NJ. b.
Mccarthy, Washington, bruised on
arm. Conductor Davis's head was
slightly bruisd. No one was seriously
! Injured. The injured parties were taken
care of by DR.. Davega, of Chester.
The report is that when the engineers
saw that the collision was inevitable the
engineer of the passenger train let bis
train 20 as fast as it could 80 as to cross
the track and avert the collision, and
the engineer of the freight put on the
brakes and tried to stop his train. In
this way when the two TRAINS collided
the sleeping coach was derailed and
thrown Oh the embankment, .and the
locomotive instead Of crushing through
the car jumped on the track OF the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta ROAD
and occupied the place Of the coach
that had been derailed. Altogether ii
is a miracle how no lives were lost.

Work Ahead for the Attorney General.
Especial to News and Courier. |

COLUMBIA, January 49, Is it not
time for the State Administration to
start piling up some more litigation?
The expenses of the Reformers up to
this time have only been $4,000. Why
not rush it up to the So, 1000 limit? It
can be very easily done. It would be
the easiest thing in the world, and in
deed some are asking why it has not
been undertaken. At the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature, at the special
solicitation of Governor Tillman, what
is known as the charter repeal bill was
passed. It gives practically unlimited
authority for new legislation.
THE RADIcALtCHARTER REPEAL BEL.
The law reads: -s ~
That whenever any corporation char
tered under the laws of this State shall
within thirty days after the time re-,
quired and permitted by law for taxes
to be paid, with or without penalty as
now required by law, refuse, neglect or
omit to pay the taxes for State and
county purposes as assessed and levied
upon the property of such corporation,
the charter of such corporation, With
all the rights, privileges and franchises
hereunder, shall become and be
deemed forfeited, and the corporate ex-
istence of such corporation shall be an
nulled.
Section 2. That in every such case 1t
shall be the duty of the Attorney Cen
eral, and he is hereby required, to
bring an action against such corpora
ton for the purpose of vacating and
annulling the charter incorporating
such corporation, and all Acts amend
atory or in renewal thereof, in the
manner prescribed by Title XIII,
Chapter IL, of the Code of Civil Proce-
dure of this State. '.: : e'.s'
Section 8. That this Act shall be
deemed a public Act, and shall 60 into
effect Immediately upon the approval
thereof: Approved December Is, 1888.
It. is said that the roads that have
/ refused to pay the excessive taxes have
! no idea of paying the back taxes under
tte threat Of losing their charters. The
authorities, it is understood, have in-
formed the Administration that they
can 90 ahead and forfeit all the char
ters they please. ........... ..

Correspondent kohn and Senator Irby.

COLUMBIA, S. c., January 4.-Sena-
tor Irby in card published to-day has
seeu fit to accuse me of being respon-
sible to very large degree for his po-
litical trials and troubles. He does me
too much honor when he says that 7
''hounded, prosecuted, misrepresented
and manufactured sentiment" against
him. Let NE say that am simply .
newspaper correspondent, not poIiti-
clan. AS young man, hoping for sue
cess in my work, I realize that my
first duty is to give facts as they are
found. If in doing this Senator Irby
has not been pleased it can not be
helped. -...
I have 30 affiliation with, or interest
in the Senator, or in his political
friends, nor any desire to be dragged
into the squabble between himself and
his former political supporters and
allies. It is no fault of mine that his
conduct has not pleased the masses of
the Reformers; I am not responsible
that he has slot of enemies" or that
be could in a minute make a census Of
his political friends in the "State
House." 1t was not at my call that
"the clique of the Reform movement
met at Columbia to name . candidate"
etc. I would, however, have been to
blame had the news not been published
as it came, and even then much that
was said has been reserved. "
If Senator Irby has found objection
to my correspondence in The News and
Courier, which has every indication Of
being trustworthy and legitimate news,
it will occasion me no grieko My only
purpose is to assure those who do not
know my sentiments tLat l have no
personal feeling or motive in the mat
ter-the honest newspaper man cannot
have-and that in this case, as in all
others, I have given what I regard as
plain, unvarnished facts. ... ...

They are There"
+ From Spare Moments. ]

A gentleman who had been refresh
ing himself short time previously at
one of the Boulevard cafes hurrledly
re-entered the establishment, and, ad-
dressing the waiter, anxiously Inquired
of him:
"Did 7 leave behind me small
parcel, tied with string, on the table"
"No, SIR" replied the waiter.
by Jove, then, it's unlucky. L
shouldn't like the parcel to get into
strange hands, for it contains some val
liable"
"Jewels, sir?" suggested the waiter,
smiling blapdly.
"Jewels! No, man; scorpions. Some
very rare and deadly scorpions"
The waiter smiled no more. He, on
the contrary, turned deathly pale, and
sinking into the nearest chair gasped,
as he pointed to his coat pocket: "They
are there"

Anti-Umbrelia Statesmen.
1Boston Daily Advertiser.

There are two men in Congress who
never carry an umbrella. These are
CONGRESSMAN Kilgore of Texas, and
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri. Last
wear there were three anti-1morella
statesmen, for yillman, of South Caro-
lima, was there to swell the ranks. No
matter what the weather, whether It
be snow or rain that is descending from
the clouds, these men do not take
enough account of the storm to carry
an umbrella. 1t is not so wonderful
that Ki|gore does not possess one OF
these articles of personal apparel, for
he wears sombrero of the wild Texas
variety, that is so wide that any arti-
fetal covering is entirely unnecessary.
But Cockrell wears a narrow hat and
walks through the pouring rain totally
oblivious of all the elements. Senator
Vest some years ago presented Cockrell
with an umbrella as a Christmas re.
membrance, bat that umbrella has
never yet been opened.

THIRTY YEARS AFTER.
The Freedman's Condition OF To-day Com
pared With Eis Life SIS Slave.
TSewanee Review.

The slaves are free-if that can be
called freedom which they now enjoy.
Are they happier? Well, it is hard to
define what happiness is. Few Of them
would 20 back into their old state and
all would now be very unhappy if they
could be re.nanded to it; but as a rule
those negroes who are old CROUCH to
have experience worth remembering
do not hesitate to declare that the
state of bondage was far happier. The
air and manner of most Of them
are sadly changed for the worse
The free and open cheerfulness, ready
to burst out in peals of laughter, the
prompt and respectful bow, the song
and dance, the jollity at Christmas,
and the expression of love and loyalty
to the white people are in a large de-
gree gone.
Surliness and reserve have taken
their place. Crimes have become ten
fold mole numerous and some, never
heard of in old times, have become
common. No, if happiness were the
end and object of life the negroes in
the South could not be said to have
gained by the change. But blessed
ness, not happiness, is the true end,
and the new condition has thrust
enormously more responsibility upon
them, and it may be that in conse-
quence they may in time rise to higher
things than now obtain, but it may
we'll be questioned if the new state
will ever match the Christian fidelity
of Uncle Tom, the faithful tenderness
of Aunt Chloe and the patience and
love of Eva's nanny. Shades Of the
sweet and peaceful Southern home OF
older days! Gone from the face of the
earth forever! The price of progress is
at the cost of bleeding hearts.
With the whites in the South the
gain is Beyond reckoning. 1t is they
who have been freed, and the glory
and power which has come and is
coming to them by their relief from
the burdens of slavery is, perhaps, the
chief result in the mysterious workings
of Providence.
