Chattanooga, Tenn. Oct 23. -
The most remarkable car robbery
case on record in the South came
to an eni at Dalton, Ga, today,
IN the Superior Court, Judge
Alonzo Fite presiding. During
the past three weeks eighteen
robbers, charged with systematic
cally looting cars on the Southern
Railway, extending over a period
of five years, have been tried and
found guilty. The ring-lcader
Walter Bohannon, was convicted
in five cases, and was today sem
fenced by the court to ten years
in the pcnitentiary. His gang,
Tom kinneman, Ben Pearce, Sam
Painter, Lutte White, Bill long
and Ed Morris, the latter colored.
received sentences from three
years to one year. Jim Harris,
the member of the gang who turn
ed away, was not sentenced, and
it is probable that under the re-
cOmmendation of the superlnten-
dent of the railroad, he will be
released, or his sentence will be
very light.
The merchants convicted of re.
ceiving stolen goods from the rob,
bers are as follows, all prominent

was thrown into the river and 10
persons killed. The New York
Central train left Buffalo last night
and had progressed for neal ly

dawn breaking in the East and the

eer plunged with his engine to the
river bottom, and the fireman, too,
was at his post. Behind them
came the express car, the combi-
nation car and the slcepcrs, and
these piled on top OF the engine.
1t is known that it was a trihe
foggy and the track was not visi-
bic, but if there was any break in

All is conjecture. The section of
road was supposed to he the very
best on the entire division. There
was Il heavy retaining wall all
along the bank, and while the tide
WAS high yesterday, it was not un-
preccdentcd. What seems to have
happened was that underneath the
tracks and ties the heavy wall had
given way and the great weight of
the engine struck the unsupported
tracks it went crashing through
the rest of the wall and toppled
over into the river. Then there
happened, what ON tho railroad AT
any other time would have caused
disaster but now proved n very
blessing. AS the train plunged
over the embankment the coup,

( crs parted and they miraculously
remained on the broken track.
In that way some sixty lives were

GRANTED 4 RESPITE.
Why There Was No Hanging in
Camden Friday.

John Watkins, the negro under
sentence of death, did not hang in
Camden yesterday as scheduled.
The execution was stopped by n
respite from Gov Ellerhc. The
respite is until Nov 10. At the
recent term of court in Kershaw
county the negro was convicted of
rape, his victim being IL colored

Last week prominent citizens of

communication of the death sentence
to Imprisonment for life in the
State penitentiary. The governor
had not had sufficient time to look
