Plunged Into the Ashley.

CHARLESTON, Dec. 24.-Engine No.
Sc of the South Carolina and Georgia
road pitched into the Ashley river this
morning through West Shore Ter
minal trestle about two miles from
the city. Engineer George Baxter
and Brakeman Clarence Turner were
buried under the wreck and met terri
BILE deaths, while Fireman William
Boyle was seriously and perhaps fatal
ly injured. Conductor M. P. Dounar
was also on the engine, but he escaped
unhurt. The engine had carried a
train of cars from the yar,ls the West
Shore wharves and was backing out to
the yards again. Suddenly one side of
the trestling sank and the engine
plunged into the river, about II feet
below. Baxter was buried under it.
and his body has not yet been recov-
cred. Turner's body was cut into pie
ces against the timbers, and Boyle,
was fearfully bruised and crushed.
No explanation of the catastrophe can
be given. Engineer Baxter has been
with the road for years, and he is said
to be the oldest engineer in the State
in point of service. His home was at
Ridgeville, where he leaves wife
and large family of children. Tur-
aer was from Shelby, N. G. He was
81 years of age and unmarried. Boyle
lives in this city, and has wife.

Canadians Aroused.

MONTREAL, QUE, Dec. 23.-Canada
is beginning to look little more Sc
riously than at first at the war ques-
ton. The fifty-ninth battalion, com
posed nearly entirely of Irish, with
headquarters in Stermont, and on
whom the first defense on the frontier
South of Mount Royal would fall,
cabled to Lord Salisbury:
do not loose any sleep over the de-
fense of our part of the frontier; we
will triple our number of men if war
should be declared"
The Montreal Star to-day offers to
equip regiment and look after the
relatives of its men during the war, if
there should be one. It says:
"There has been a natural disposi-
ton on the part of the people of Cana
da to regard President Cleveland's
message to Congress as an incident of
a political party strife in the United
States, and devoid of serious inter-
national significance. To deliberate
ly and without provocation court for
this country such dire calamity as
war with the most po werful empire on
earth appeared more like the outcome
of the drunken orgy of an imperial
despot than the deliberate act of the
chosen leader of free and enlighten-
ed people. But whatever may have
been the motive for this action which
has such stupendous significance for
US or none at all, the manner of its re-
ception by the press and people of the
United States, forbids Canadians any
longer ignoring it or treating it with
indifference"

Mississippi Flood q

ST. LOUIS, NO., Dec. 22.-Since
Thursday night the Mississippi River
at this point has risen % feet, which
is unprecedented in the same length of
time. The boatmen and dwellers on
the river bank were taken unawares
and the loss is already very great. A
number of shanty boats were swept
away. In one of these, Sandy Hook, "
a dance was in progress last night and
the. jewellers were not aware OF their
peril until the boat stuck in tree.
The American bottoms are half under,
and the loss of stock is considerable
At 6 o'clock the gauge read "a 1-2

was only 21-2 feet. Meagre reports,

Passed Without Dissent,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-The Unit
ed States Senate, by an unanimous
vote and without the formaity OF a
roll call, to-day passed the bill already
adopted by the House of Representa-
tives, empowering the President to
determine the Venezuela British -Gui-
ana boundary. This action was the cul-
mination of a debate adding a memor-
able page to Congressional history. 1t

tween the United States and Great
Britain was the prevailing theme, and

Deficient State Laws.

RALEIGH, N. G., Dec. A.-Chapter
second in the matter of the North
Carolina bond coupons, which were
yesterday paid by the State Treasurer
after they had been cancelled, had its
scene in the mayors Office today. A.
W. Lawrison, the man who picked up
some unburned coupons which had
passed through the Treasury chimney,
and who had two of them cashed at the
Treasury, was charged with embezzle.
ment, but the charge would not stand,
so he was discharged. He was order
ed to leave the city Immediately. The
mayor expressed great regret that there
was no law under which he could be
held.
Lawrison yesterday sent to relatives
at Elmira, N. Y, $50 by express. He
had card from the Y. NJ. @. A. at
that place, and he has been at Allan
ia. There was evidence that he had
several other coupons in his vest pock-
ct. He said that when the end of the
month came the State Treasurer would
discover how much he had lost, The
police say that several other tramps
were with Lawrison, and that these
all had coupons. 1t is believed they
cashed several hundred dollars worth
of these at banks and other places.
After they picked them up in Capitol
Square yesterday other persons picked
up a number of these coupons but re-
turned them to the Treasurer. The
matter has created a big sensation
here. The Treasurer says he will new
er again be caught in such way, Of
course the loss falls on him. He has
given notice to watch all coupons.

The Cotton Acreage.

MEMPHIS, Dec. 23.-The movement
looking to no increase of the cotton
acreage next year was inaugurated by
the Memphis Cotton Exchange this af'
ternoon alta general meeting called for
the purpose. The preamble to the
resolutions adopted sets forth that a
large crop of cotton grown at heavy
expenses brings but little if any larg-
er total value, contrasting the present
with past years to establish the fact,
and adds:
Another matter for the farmers to
bear in mind is that at the present
time, when there IS remote possibil'
ity Of war, if such should occur, the
inevitable result thereof would be to
depreciate the value of cotton and ap,
preciate the value of all food crops.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Memphis Cotton
Exchange urgently recommends to the
producers that the production OF home
supplies be made the first considera-
ton in planting operations for the
coming year, and that the acreage of
cotton be not increased over that OF
last year.
"Resolved, That we approve and in.
dorse the American Cotton Growers
Associations for bringing about the re-
duction in the acreage of the crop now
being marketed and we respectfully
urge the Hon. Hector D. Lane, the
president, and his coadjutors, the pres
idents of the various cotton States of
said association to continue in the good
work, and to take up the matter at the
earliest practicable moment and urge
it again upon the attention OF the cot
ton producers of the South.
Resolved, That the various cotton
exchanges throughout the South be,
and are hereby, requested to cooperate
with this exchange in this matter, and
that the Southern newspapers are also
requested to publish these resolutions. \"

Gladstone's Message

LONDON, Dec. 23.-This afternoons
papers continue commenting editori-
ally and at length upon the Venezu-
elan matter, but their remarks are on
the financial, rather than the politi-
cal, aspect of the case. While there
is no abatement of the expressions of
belief that the ground taken on be-
half of the United States is untenable,
the tone is altogether more pacific.
Yet, there is considerable display of
satisfaction at the financial difficulties
in the United States.
The dispatch which the Right Hon.
w. E. Gladstone sent to Mr.. Joseph
Pulitzer. proprietor of the New York
World, in answer to the latter's re-
quest for a message to the American
people on the Venezuelan question,
has attracted wide attention here and
elsewhere. Mr.. Pulitzer telegraphed
that American sentiment was at the
turning point, that ono turned. the
wrong way no power on earth could
hold it back, and that word of peace
and fellowship from Mr.. Gladstone
would aid to. check clamor, to soothe
the passion, to encourage sober thought
and may avert Gala nifty.
In reply Mr.. Gladstone cabled:
II can not interfere. Only common
sense required. Cannot say more
with advantage"
The st. James Gazette this after
noon commenting upon Mr.. Glad
stones message to the proprietor of
the New York World, says: Com
mon sense would have avoided the
shock which has been given to both
countries. 1t will find its way out.
1t is the Americans who must supply
the peedful pinch of sanity, which
they are fully capable of doing"
The Westminster Gazette advises
all concerned to take a holiday and
breathing space, and allow common
sense to assert ITSELF" adding, when
both sides discover that there is ample
room for consideration, concession and
adjustment, the common sense party
in the United States may be sure that
it would be met half way by the COM
mon sense party here"

AsHEv1LLE, N. g., Dec, 26.-Miss

An overindulgence in alcoh olic

small beginnings, and generally
the start comes in the form Of

for Yourself that each year men
who drink liquor take less Of it,
while more men do not drink at

is In all great factories, foundrles,
mills. electric works, building
and machinery shops. Men who
are but moderate drinkers are de-
barred from positions of trust
in any of these trades. Even the
elevated lines and trolley car COM
panies have recently decided that
they will employ only men OF the
strictest sobriety. lntemperance
is becoming, more and more so
every day, distinct barrier to
success. Not only the man OF
drinking habits, bnt the moderate
tippler finds himself outstrlpped
by the man of strict sobrlety. 1t
is very significant fact that the
managers Of the greatest liquor
trust in America recently adopted
an iron clad rule to employ none
but strictly honest men. Depend
upon it, the Dung man who to-
day absolutely abstains from all
sorts of alcoholic beverages will be
the successful man OF tomorrow.

1t isnow claimed that he per cent
of Judge Bundy's decisions reversed
by the Supreme Court is but forty
five and three tenths. We make this
correction on the strength of a circu-
lar letter sent out by the friends OF
the Judge While there is but a small
difference betw' en- these figures that
purport to be correct, and those pub
lished week ago, yet we do not wish
to be accused OF misrepresentation
Bnt on the contrary we believe that
the above figures will convince most
people that a change Is needed. The
fact that few other circuit judges
have made record as bad or even
worse than that OF Judge Bundy's,
only goes to prove that there is a
crying need of change in those other
districts, and not that it is good pol
icy to continue the present incumbent
in office simply because the records of
few other judges are as bad as his.
