CHANG AND ENe's North cARo1rHA

CHANG AND ENG's NORTH CARoLIEA
DEscENDANTs.-A few miles from Mt.
Airy, N. c., were the homes of the fam
Gus Sismese twins, Eng and Chang,
who were born in Siam of Chinese par
ents in 1911. These twins travelled all
over the world in charge of their man
ager, Mr.. Bunker, whose name they
finally assumed. They came at last
into Surry county sightseeing: they de-
clared that it was the grandest country
they had ever seen, and having alresdy
made 8 decent fortune, they decided to
buy property and settle permanently in
Surry.
They met and fell in love with Miss
Adelaide Yates, of Wilkes, an adjoin-
ing county. Miss Yates was in an awk-
ward predicament, beloved by both,
but neither could tell of his affection
without the other hearing it. Finally
the matter was settled by Miss Sallie
Yates, sister of Miss Adelaide, con-
senting to become the bride Of one and
Miss Adelaide the other, The parents
of the Misses Yates strenuously object
ed to the double marriage, but the
young ladies were not to be deferred,
so they eloped, met their lovers on the
bank of little stream on the roadside
near their home, and, preacher being
present, they were quietly married.
The two couples settled within two
miles of Mount Airy, and for several
years lived together. Owing to domes-
tic quarrels, however, two homes were
found necessary, and each built a COM
Portable house. Tney lived alternate
weeks at each others homes, and each
raised large family of children, some
of whom still live and are among the
most prosperous and highly respected
people in Surry county.
They were probably the most wonder,
ful of all human phenomenon. They
lived to an advanced age and were
clever, law-abiding men. 1t is said
that they would sometimes have their
little quarrels, and one would threaten
to kick the other over the fence. In
1874 Eng, who had been in failing
health, died very suddenly. Indeed,
on awaking one morning his brother,
Chang, found that Eng had died during
the night. Physicians were summoned
but before they arrived Chang had died
and they were buried as they had liver ,
side by side.

There may have been other passengers with transfers, which would not have been rung up on the register. AS near as can be learned there were possibly twenty persons in the car when it made the plunge
 Seven unidentified bodies are at the morgue now and one man, whose name has not yet been learned, is at the hospital in an unconscious condi- tion. So far as can be learned he is the only one who escaped instant death.
 A dredge has been secured and the whole car will be raised bodily from the bottom of the river. If that is done the remainder of the bodies will soon be recovered.

In fact, it is considered very doubtful whether the Turkish troops would fire on the Mus selmans.
 About 800 persons were massacred by Musselmans at Kharput. Eight of the twelve buildings belonging to the American mission were sacked and burned The missionaries escaped

MILBANK, s. D., Nov. 16.-The rail- road and elevators have been taxed to their utmost to handle the wheat as it is delivered.

As an evidence of the better and improved conditions, the county treasurer's sale of lands for delinuuenl taxes were less this year than ever be- fore known. Thousands of dollars ot old debts are being paid and very many mortgages are being taken up, and everything shows better times.

TWAS DEATH. Awful Plunge of an
 Electric Car. IA Drop of a Hundred Feet to Murky Waters that Lay
 Below. Twenty Passengers Are
 Drowned. The Night Was Dark, the Draw
 Bridge Open. Awful Disaster that Came to Cieve- land Last Nlgnt-Gr appiing for the Bodies in the Flood.
The Night Was Dark, the Draw
 Bridge Open.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 16.-A heavy electric motor car, containing between twenty and thirty passengers, went through the draw of the Central viaduct at TAO o'clock this evening and dropped 100 feet into the river below.
 It is horror, the ike of which never occurred here befor,s
 The Central viadue5 is a huge stilt bridge, 5000 feet long, made of iron. It connects the Heights and prosperous residence sections on both sides with the business center of the city.
 Directly over the river is a draw bridge of the pivot, swinging pattern, and this is 101 feet above the surface of the water. The ill-fated motor car, containing between twenty and thirty people, approached the draw just as vessel was nearing it.
 The bridge attendants had closed the big iron gates and were preparing to swing the draw.
 AS is the rule, the car stopped and a switch in case the way was clear. He must have been blinded by the cleo tric lights, for, although the gates were closed and the draw in motion, the con- ductor raised the switch handle
 The motorman applied the current and the car shot forward and struck the gates with a crash.
 There was only a moments pause and then the heavy car ground it's way through the wreckage and plunged into the black abyss, amid the screams and frantic struggles of the passen- gers, who at the first intimation of danger, rushed for the rear door.
 The car struck the water with a great splash and then there was silence.
 In an incredibly short space of time the work of rescue began.
 All the occupants of the car, with the exception of one, who managed to jump to the ground as it toppled over, went down to certain death The car disappeared from sight as soon as it struck the water and everyone of the passengers were drowned. Within five minutes after the accident the surface of the river revealed nothing of the terrible tragedy.
 At o'clock half dozen bodies, that had evidently foated out of the car and risen to the surface, were taken from the river and carried to various morgues.
 The news of the terrible accident spread like wildfre throughout the city and large crowd collected on the bridge and along the banks of the river. They could do nothing, how ever, but watch the slow work of grappling for the bodies.
 The exact number of the passengers
