The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1895-06-19

To make long story short, the colonel
recommended me strongly for the post
and, as the work was mostly to be
done on horseback, my leg was no
great obstacle, for had enough knee
left to keep good grip on the saddle.
What I had to do was to ride over the
plantation, to keep an eye on the men
as they worked, and to report the
idlers. The pay was fair, I had com
Portable quarters, and altogether I was
content to spend the remainder Of my
life in indigo-planting. Mr.. Abelwhite
was a kind man, and he would often
drop into my little shanty and smoke a
pipe with me, for white folk out there
feel their hears warm to each other as
they never do ere at home.
''Well, was never in luck's way
long. Suddenly, without note Of
warning, the great mutiny broke upon
IS. One month India lay as still and
peaceful, to ali appearance, as Surrey
or Kent; the next there were two hun
dred thousand black devils let loose,
and the country was perfect hell. OF
course you know all about it, gentle
men-a deal more than do, very like
IL, since reading is not in my line. I
only know what saw with my own
eyes. Our plantation was at a place
called Muttra. near the border of the
northwest provinces. Night after
night the whole sky was alight with
the burning bungalows, and day after
day we had small companies of Euro
peans passing through our estate with
their wives and children, on their way to
Agra, where were the nearest troops.
Mr. Abelwhite was an obstinate man.
He had it in his head that the affair
had been exaggerated, and thatit would

wife, used to do the bookwork and the
managing. Well, one fine day the
crash came. I had been away on a
distant plantation. and was riding
slowly home in the evening. when my

The rain was still falling steadily,
for it was just the beginning of the
wet season. Brown. heavy clouds were
drifting across the sky, and it was hard

moat lay in front Of our door. but the

strange to me to be standing there

DROPPED THROUGH A DRAW.
Lives Lost in a Trolly Car Accident in Mil
wauhee.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. A trolley
car on the Russell avenue and Holton
street car line ran through an open
draw of Kinnickinnick bridge this
morning. The car struck eHdwise on
the ice through which it plunged into
the water. The motorman was drown
ed and six passengers are believed to
have found watery graves. There
were ten to fifteen persons in the car
the exact number being unknown. Six
were taken out alive and others are be-
lieved to be dead.
The confusion was such that no one
could tell an hour after the catastrophe
how many people had lost their lives.
The car was in charge of Conductor Pc
terson. The bridge had been opened
TO permit the passage Of the fire boat
Foley which was breaking ice in the
river. The members of Foley's crew
rendered valuable assistance in rescU-
ing those who were saved. The dead
are, so far as known, Miss Holman,
kindergarten teacher, John Kennedy,
motorman and Miss Schmidt Kunz.

UNION PACIFIC WILL COME IN.
Mutual Concessions from the Two Princi-
pal Lines Concerned.

Chicago, Feb. At Is now practically
certain that the Union Pacific Will be-
come member of the Western Trunk
Line committee. The declaration Of the
Northern Pacific that il would not al
low the Union Pacific to participate in
the Puget Sound business Until 1t had
withdrawn its refusal to open up the
Oregon Short line for through business.
was made Saturday afternoon before
the Union Pacific had announced its
willingness to accede TO the wishes of
the other lines. The change IN the atti-
tuie OF the Union Pacific produced a
corresponding change in the sentiments
OF the Northern Pacific and there seems
to be no longer any reason why the
Union Pacific should remain outside
the committee.
Owing to the demand for quicker mail
service between Chicago and the North
Pacific coast, the Chicago, Milwaukee

meat contract for carrying the fast
mail between Chicaf>.'n nd St Paul, will
shorten the time of It's fast mail train
