A PATHETIC INCIDENT
Tragic Death of a Young Man Who's
Father is Well-Known Here.

News has been received here of the
tragic death, several nights ago. OF
] Mr.. Henry Faw, OF Marietta, Ca,
whose father, Mr.. Enoch ,Faw. is a
native of Forsyth, and who visited
Col. j. w. Alspaugh and other fHends
here last fall.
The son was fireman on a freight
train and when it stopped at station
that fatal night he crawled under the
engine to clean out the ash pan.
Either through failure by the engineer
TO properly notch the throttle or some
other cause the engine began to move.
MI. F'aw seeing his danger attempted
to get out, but the ponderous wheels
caught him and crushed the life out
OF him, passing across his breast and
almost severing his head from his
body. The deceased was 26 years Of
age.
A Marietta paper tells of a pathetic
incident which is recalled by his trag-
lc death. 1t shows the thoughtful
ness the young man had Of his mother
as ne rode his engine over rail and
croSstie.
When the engine on which he was
fireman would be entering the town of
his home, where his father, mother
and sisters reside, Fireman Faw
would sound the whistle, intimating
the notes of the whipporwill three or
four times, as a signal to his mother
that he was safe and well ard was
passing through town. The mother
always listened as the train came
rumbling into Marietta, and her
eager ears caught this peculiar whistle
with an assurance, OF indefnable
tenderness, that her boy was safe and
that his thoughts were of her.
The fatal night that his engine last
passed through Marietta, he sounded
the well-known notes, the whistle
blasts rang clear and distinct, "Whip-
porWlll Whipporwill !! Whippor-
Will !" How it revef berated and
hoated out on the night air, over the
town to an east side eminence where
Is situated his home, and the sounds
fell upon his mothers ears, making
sweeter music by far than grand an
thems sung by cathedral choirs. 1t
told the mothers heart that her boy
was safe, so far, on his perilous steed
of team and fire. But alas ere the
bright sun rose to shed its lustre upon
another new born day, flashing over
the wires was telegram that told OF
the horrible death of that brave young
man, crushed beneath the pitiless
wheels of his engine in the discharge
of his duty. Cruel fate. Sad and
heart-rending intelligence. Brave,
noble Henry He fell as the true
soldier falls, at the post of DUTY

''As to the county governments

be full conference, however, There Is
a very strong feeling in the West, en-
hracing most of the Democrats, per-

The action of the county commission
ers in the matter OF bonds has
strengthened the desire for magis-
trates elected by the people. As to
Board Of Audit, whether it Will be
sufficient rs check on the action OF
the county commissioners govern
ment. much will depend ON the powers
which they are invested and also on
the character of the men chosen; and

From the Washington Post.l
There are indications that the stu

nenG North ~ 51'tA Carolina po1IticEan to a
Post reporter yesterday. Democrats
are not without hope that thelr
scheme to raise a row between Repub-
Ifcans and Populists over the election
of United States Senators and break
up the cooperative movement IN the
State, may finally succeed.
They are diligently at Work TO that
end, and the contemplated scheme con-
cedes the election of two Republican
Senator's There has been consider
able difficulty in uniting the Ransom
and Jarvis factions Of the Democratic
party, but that, it is now asserted,
has been accomplished. The scheme
is to bring about Il deadlock over the
election Of Senators between the Re
publicans and POpulists. with the un-
derstanding that the Democrats will
finally vote with the Republicans and
elect two Republican, Senators Ihls.
it is well understood, would end all
cooperation in the State and practi
cally adjourn the Legislature without
the accomplishment of any material
change in the State election law.
That means, of course, the contin-
ued supremacy Of the Democratic
party In the State, the election of a
United States Senator in 1896 and the
electoral vote for President. In re-
ply to the charge of bad faith, Repub-
licans who favor the combination say
the secret prediction agreement be
tween Butler, the Pupulist leader, and
Pritchard, Republican, is dn assertion
of bossism more than Democratic ma
chine politics, which has been The
bane and curse of the State for twenty
years. They insist that any JOINT
action between Republicans and Pop
ulists puts it in the power of the
J Pupulists to name both Senators ano
thus ratify the recent understanding
between Butler and Pritchard. The
situation, they contend, warrants an.
com bination to defeat the attempt o
! Butler and Pritchard to boss th'
State. The agitators among the he
publicans are all Senatorial aspirant
