Augusta Ga, July 22-Two bad wrecks
occurred on the Charleston and Western
Carolina railroad to-day. one train being
freight train and the other a passenger.
The freight train wreck occurred at
Greenwood and resulted from uncoupled
loaded cars running back from a siding
and collidng with the engine OF the
freight train just as it was pulling out
frQm the station. Several cars were dam
aged and the contents of a car loaded with
flour was scattered in all directions, but
no one was seriously hurt.
The morning passenger train that car
ries passengers to the North Carolina re-
sorts was wrecked near the 26-miIe post
from Augusta, at curve in the road
ana the wreck was caused by somebody
placing on the rail an iron nut that
screws on the bolt through the fish bar
plate, at the ends of two rails. Whether
1t was placed there by accident or de-
sign. through ignorance or with malicious
intent nobody knows. If the purpose was

sey of the Southern Express Company.
Solicitor General Osborne and family of
Savannah. Superintendent Anderson of
the Charleston and Western Carolina rail
road, the Spartanburg base BAH club and
number of others. Besides the engineer
and fireman. Mr.. Gordon OF Savannah was
riding on the engine and instrucung the
air brake, with which the road has been
recently equipped. When these three
crawled out from the wreck of the engine
and tender the first thing Mr.. Gordon said,
though he was covered with blood from a
cash on his forehead and completely
drenched by the water from the tanks
in the upturned tender, "Weu my brakes

The engineer was not hurt at all, though
he stood at his post at the lever and put
on brakes as soon as he felt the first bump
as the wheels left the rails. His engine
was overturned and badly wrecked being
damaged about 5000
The fireman sustained some painful
bruises. but Mr.. Gordon was the only one
seriously hurt. He was carried to the
hospital when the train reached Augusta
this evening from the scene of the wreck.
His injuries are not dangerous and he will
be out in a day or two. The track will

IRBY's TILT WITH McLAURIN.
The SOundness of the Senator's Dc
mOcracy Again Attacked.

The SOundness of the Senator's De-
mOcracy Again Attacked.
Charleston, S. c., July 22.-The senate
rial campaign meeting to-day at Georges
was devoid of special interest or feature
The candidates are showing some wear on
account of the strain of the campaign, all
though only fifteen out of forty counties
have been visited. There were about 200
voters at to-day's meeting, and they were
very much divided as to the rival candi-
dates.
Col. Irby devoted much time to ridlcul-
ing the present governor.
Senator McLaurin said that from what he
gathered, Col Irby was not after the sem
atorship, but was willing to let his peni-
tent political son have that office and take
the Office of governor for himself for two
years hence.
Col Irby said he wanted the sena torship
and expected to get 1t.
Senator McLaurin said his tariff position
was being persistently misrepresented and
misquoted, and to explain his true views
took up all his time
Col Irby said with the negro vote out
of the way there will soon be a republi-
can party in South Carolina and that
Senator McLauriu will lead it.
Senator McLaurin insists that he stands
on the Bryan platform.

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE.
An Atlanta Man Believed to Have
Been Murdered at Brunswick.

Atlanta, Ga, July 22.-The friends of H.
A. Atkinson, assistant manager of the
Georgia Sick Benefit Association. are
greatly exercised about his mysterious dis
appearance while in Brunswick last Sun
day. The suspicion is entertained that he
has been murdered and his body thrown
into the Turtle river.
Mr.. Atkinson left here last Thursday
night for a two days trip to St. Simons
Island with the city statesmen. With him
were T. o. West, his business partner
and Mrs. West. They spent Friday and
Saturday at the island, returned to Bruins
wick Saturday afternoon and spent Sat
urday night at the Walker house. Sun
day morning the three left the hotel. In
tending to board the Southern railroad
trains for Atlanta at $50 o'clock. They
proceeded down the railroad track to-
ward the depot, Mr.. and Mrs West walk
ing in front Atkinson and the negro
porter of the Walker house were but a
few feet behind On nearing the depot
Atkinson asked the porter where he could
ter replied that he would show him. The
two failed to return in timd and for a few
moments the train was held, but the miss
ing man never showed up and has not
since been seen. He had $50 in pocket at
the time of his disappearance and foul
play on that account is the theory OF his
friend. No cause has been discovered
for his voluntarily absenting himself

FEARS FOR FLANAGAN.
The Lynching Spirit Running High
I'm His Case.

Atlanta, Ga, July 22.-The lynching
spirit in this county and neighborhood is
admirably slight. yet it cannot be denied
that it has been somewhat stimulated by
recent examples.
From the mouth of every third citizen
one meets. comes the significant express
ion, "Flannigan next"
Some late cases at Decatur have tried
public forbearance to the utmost point
and especially that of Flanagan whose
second trial is soon to occur. He was
brought here for safe-keeping, but even
after being lodged in Fulton county Jail
an effort was made 10 get hold of him
The mob. of which a number of well
known citizens of Atlanta are said to have
been members. mustered on the outskirts
$50 strong, and sent "A detachment 10 make
a demand on the sheriff. He had ten well
armed men behind him to back up his re-
marks, which were not calculated to en-
courage the delegation, and they retired
Returning to their comrades they report
ed progress and the sheriff of Fulton
county was unanimously voted a master
ly logician, and the would-be lynchers
forthwith dispersed. sin 1t became nee
essary when Flannigan's trial came on to
order out the troops, including the ma
chine gun corps.
The rumors and comments and sup
pressed grumblings to-day seem ominous
and If less energetic action is taken when
the next trial comes, he may possibly go
to join DR.. Ryder. The Judge is a De-
kalb man, and the people of his county
are said TO be confident Of his doing what
public sentiment there considers his duty
Were such not the case, there is little
doubt that the present would be an liz
chosen time for the trial As matters
stand 1t is hoped there won't be any trou-

Lynchin%-The Presiding Judge
Accused of Not Using the Means ut
His Command to Prevent the Ont
rUGe.
Macon, Ga, July 22.-The brothers of
DR.. w. L. Ryder, who was lynched in Tai
bot county Monday night. are preparing
statement for publication. They will pre-
sent facts that were not adduced at the
former trial in palliation of their brothers
crime and in addition show that since his
Incarceration he had become a hopeless
imbecile. The following is a part of the
card from Or. c. A Ryder:
"To the Public: As to our future action
in this deplorab.e affair, we will leave
nothing undone to bring these dastardly
outlaws to punishment. We are formulat-
ing plans which will surprise the intelli-
gent citizens of Talbot county. We know
the names of several parties composing the
mob and ali will be brought to justice. We
can show that the counsel for the prose-
cution melted the action of the mob, and
that the presiding judge did not use the
means At his command to prevent an out
rage against the law of the state. His
ignorance got him into trouble. He was
the tool Of the instigatOrs of this damna BILE
plot to hang an insane and helpless pris-
Oner, and law~abiding citizens believe he
is to blame for the whole affair. 1t Is
our opinion that he is a murderer and NOR
ally as guilty as any member of the mob.
II the law can bring any of the lynchers
Into court we will spare no effort to avenge
the death of our brother.

Mr.. Gress. land during the past two years
has been under the treatment of DR.. Van
Buren, Young. His treatment was very
expensive, and I decided that he was no
longer doing her good, so I resolved to
stop his attendance upon her. Some time
ago, my wife wished to go north to spend
the summer with DR.. Young and his wife
at place up the Hudson river. DR.. Young
wanted 500 per month for my wife and
daughter, besides the pay for his medical
attendance. l could not stand such a
heavy expense, ard told my wife she could
not go. She went away, taking our daugh-
ter with her. 1 went TO the place where
they were stopping and took my daughter
away with me, knowing that her mother
would follow, and l wished to get them
away from the influences of the Youngs
That was my sole object in acting as
did. Then came the court proceedings, of
which you know. The entire matter was
finally settled amicably / am happy to
say, and my wife and daughter are now
spending the summer on Long Island,
away from the Youngs. My wife is no
longer under the influence of DR.. Young
and his wife. and ] am entirely satisfied
