ROASTED TO DEATH.
Mail gent and Messenger Burned In
Train Wreck.

Columbia, S. c.. Oct. Through
misunderstanding Of orders, the
north and south bound trains ON the
Florida Central & Peninsular road had
a head. end collision this morning just
south of Swansea, about thirty miles
from here. The trains came together
on an embankment. The engineers
and firemen jumped and escaped with
out injury. The engines of both trains
were demolished and the tender of the
southbound engine telescoped into the
combination mail, baggage and express
car. Baggage and Express Messenger
w. D. Lines and Mail Agent L. A.
Thomas were pinioned in the wreck,
which caught fire from che coal oil
lamps. The crews of both trains tried
to cut them out, but the flames spread
so rapidly that though the rescuers
were stimulated by the piteous appeals
of the two men, they could do nothing
to aid the unfortunates, who were
roasted to death.
Flagman Ulmer was standing be-
tween the second-class and the baggage
cars and is supposed to have been
burned to death also. Two other cars
were consumed but no passengers were
injured.

afternoon, three men entered the Bank
of Meeker, which is connected with
the storeroom of J. w. Hughes & Co.. +,

held up the store employees, while the
third went to the bank cashiers win
dow, and, firing one shot, ordered the
cashier to throw up his hands. The
order was not quickly obeyed and the
robber fired again. whereupon the cash
ier's hands went up. The manager OF
the store was then forced to open the
bank door, and, after gathering up all
the money in sight, the robbers marched
the cashier and store employees into the
street with hands uplifted. Then they
rushed out the back way with their
booty.
Citizens, attracted by the shots, had
pretty we'll surrounded the building by
this time, and, being armed, opened
fire on the robbers, two of whom,
Charles Jones and William Smith
were killed by the first volley. The
third man. George Harris, was shot
through the lungs, dying in two hours.

other names, which were believed to be
fictitious.

trict Game Warden Clark, bullet in
the right breast, not FATAL Victor

justifiable homicide. Meeker is ninety
miles from Rifle, ON the Rio Grande,
