The recent wreck on the Pant system,
near this city, was miraculous, in the es-
cape of every one from injury. The spe-
cial passenger from Waycross, at 1890 at
night, ran into the rear end of a freight.
Both trains were coming this way, the
passenger much faster than the freight.
Engineer Dubose was on the passenger
and Conductor Mcmillan in the caboose
of the freight. The engine and caboose
were badly wrecked, but all hands es-

by putting on the emergency brakes and

Florence lived in Mobile, and she wrote
to her sister, Laura, who was visiting at

SO vivid was the scarlet that timid

Fate was against that sample.
There were rumors that New Orleans
would quarantine against Biloxi, and 30
Laura rushed to New Orleans before the
gates were closed. There was no time in
which to match the sample, as Laura
must escape from New Orleans before

feated the team representing the Chicago
Athletic Club by the score of is to 6. The
scoring was all done in the first half and
with something of a rush. The second
half was undressing owing to change
In Yale's tactics from fierce aggressive
ness TO careful defense. 3G4
Good kicking was difficult because Of a
spanking northwest wind which favored
the Chicagoans in the first half and Yale
in the second half. The game was mark
ed by TWO striking features-the remarka-
BILE playing of Draper of Chicago the ia
nous former Williams half back, and the
wonderful improvem in the Yale team.
Draper was a tower of strength and to
him is due the credit of the westerners'
only score.
Yales offensive work was sharp rapid
and telling and her defensive tactics while
weaker than in former years, Indicated
an Improvement which opens out interest
ing possibilities in connection with the
great game with Harvard next Saturday,
and the contest with Princeton on Nov. 20.

Princeton rolling up 81 points to 0 for

was not Lafayette's poor playing, but
the superb all-around work of Princeton
that caused her defeat. The Tiger team
worked like a well oiled machine.
Both teams played fast game at cen

LowNDEs SUPERIOR COURT.
Four Murder Cases on the Docket for
the Present Term.

Valdosta, Ca, Nov. 6.-Mondav week
will witness the opening of one of the most
important sessions of the superior court
ever held in this county. There are four
murder cases on the docket and the
chances are that two more may be added
before court convenes. The most impor-
tant are the cases against Shelton Dam
pier for killing Sam Parker, at Hahira,
and against Plimp Hodge for killing his
uncle during a primary election last year.
Dampier has appeared gloomy for the past
two days. and has evidently turned his
attention to the future. He was baptised
last Monday by Elder Humphres of the
Church of Christ, and is reading his Bible
constantly. Plimp Hodge has a great
many friends at work for him and the
strongest sort of work is being done to
turn public sentiment his way. He has
employed as counsel, Capt. w. M Ham
mond of Thomasville, and Col G. A.
Whitaker of this city.
The marriage of d. d. Smith to Miss
Mattilue Bentley Thursday evening, was
one of the most brilliant social events of
the season. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. J. E. Wray, in the Methodist
church, and was witnessed by a large
crowd of the friends of the popular cou-
pie.
Capt. James Staten has resigned his po-
sition as captain of the Valdosta vi
dettes. His resignation was refused by
the colonel until an officer of his efficiency
could be gotten to fill the place. Capt.
Staten is popular with his men, and
throughout the Fourth Regiment, and
there is general regret that circumstances
are such that he feels bound to give up
his military duties.
