TERRIBLE WRECK.
Fast II, sr Fails Into an Abyss Made by 3
Tashout,

The fast flyer on the Kansas Pacific
railway wes wrecked at daylight Tues
IGav morning about DO miles east of
Denver. Two trainmen were killed
outright and ruln Der of passengers
jninrrd, nore of them fatally. The
kilIa arA: John Ward, engineer,
Denver: ". B Harrington, baggage
uas.er. Kansas City.
The injured are: Oscar Ingram,
fl cmar, bruised about head, dazed:
w. II. Rsnkin, Denver, badly cut
ah7ut tie heed, arm broken; j. E.
Reid, back injured; Mrs Fred Nash,
Ls-anie, Wv back sprained; Mr.. 9.
Z. Gravett, Blue Springs, Neb., right
ankle broken: Mrs. @. L. Hubbard,
Abilene, Kas back hurt; W. 81. B:

bruised; f l.. Eckert Topeka, Kas.,
head cut; Mrs. Minnie Edelmon,
bruises; G. E. GODDARD, Leayenworth,
Kas., back hurt; Mrs. John TRACTS,
Augusta, Ga., arms and legs cut.
The wreck was caused by washout.
The heavy rains of the night flooded
the streams and carried away por-
ton of a small bridge which spans
Comanche creek between Byers and
Strasburg. The train was on time
and was running at the usual speed
when approaching the point of acci'
dent. Without warning the engine
plunged into the abyss, followed by
the mail and baggage cars and other
cars were piled about in confusion.
The engine was completely under
water in almost the middle of the
stream, and Engineer Ward was un-
der 1t. Strange to say, the fireman
escaped death, but he is reported to be
badly hurt. Instantly there was the
widest confusion. The most severly
injured passengers were riding in the
forward car. Some of the sleeping
passengers in the Pullmans were
thrown from their berths and more or
less hurt, but none seriously injured.
Byers, the nearest town to the wreck,
was fl We miles away and the conduc-
tor hastened to cover the distance on
foot. He arrived there at 5 o'clock
and the railway officials in Denver
we're notified of the accidents by ;tele-
graph. A special wrecking train with
General Manager Duell and physi-
clans on board started for the scene OF
the wreck. The rainstorm was gen
eral in the plains region, and it is
feared that many railroad bridges have
been washed out.

Horrible Murder.

Laura Lark, a negress, and q deaf
mute, was murdered Tuesday night at
her home on the Savannah road, near
Mr.. J. M. Sesgo's place, about nine
miles from Augusta. The woman was
killed in cold blood, presumably, by a
negro man, who, afterwards fled,
leaving neither name or description
as a means OF Identification Laura
Lark lived alone in q small cabin, re.
mote from neighbors, and had no pro-
lection whatever. However, she would
have seemed tc be without need OF
protection for the fact that she was a
woman and deaf mute would appear
to have been sufficient. She was not
possessed of worldly goods, so she
abided alone without fear. When last
seen Tuesday night before she was
shot there was strange negro In her
house. A neighbor went there to bor-
row some oil and though lie saw the
man, paid little attention to him,
thinking him some friend OF Laura
Lark's. The man who went for the
oil was at the woman's house about 10
o'clock. He returned home and an
hour later, hearing gun shot 10 the
direction of the Lark woman's place,
he hurried over. To his horror he
found the woman lying on the around,
| a. few feet from her front door, bleed
| ing from terrible wound in her head.
When some women friends arrived,
who were able to talk 10 the Lark wo
| man by signs, it was learned that the
! man had made an indecent proposal,
had been refused and that he had shot
her and run Off The only name that
could be gotten was Bill" The wo'
man fingered until about 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning when she died.
There seems to be no possible clue as
to the identity of the man and so this
one crime will no doubt 60 unpunish-
| ed on this earth.

Another Important Move in tho iSricul-
tural Hall Case.


It was stated Wednesday in Colum-
bia that Mr.. W. II. Lyles, who repre-.
sents Mr. Wesley, the winner in the
famous agricultural hall case, hsd
written to the United States marshal
for the district of South Carolina de
manding that he come to Columbia
and put him in possession CT the

that the marshal, upon receipt of the
demand, notified the States attorneys
in the case. They at once began to
take steps 10 prevent interference with
the property until the determination
of the case. Il is said that ca Tues
day night guards we're kept at tie
building all night with instructions 10
resist any attempt upon the part of
anyone to take possession of the build
ing, with force if necessary.
Wednesday morning the attorney
generals office had the following no
tice served upon the United States
marshal and upon Mr.. Lyles, thus
putting stop to further proceedings
until the date named at least; by
agreement the hour named in the no.
tice has been changed until 5p. m &.

"NOT GUILTY."
Solicitor Thurmo mond Acquitted of the
Charge of Murder.

Solicitor Thurmo ond Acquitted of the
Charge of Murder.
The trial of Solicitor J. VIM. Thur
mond for the killing of Will Harris
on the oath OF March last, was begun
at Edgefeld Tuesday, Aug. 3. About
an hour was consumed in selecting
the jury, which is composed OF the
best men in the county. Ten witness
es were examined in behalf OF the
State, and IA on behalf OF the defense.
One witness, a drummer from Rich
mond, who failed to arrive Tuesday
was examined on behalf of the State
Wednesday morning.
The State developed nothing new
from the testimony taken at the in
quest. The plea of the defendant was
self defense, and all the evidence for
defense was in that line. The court
adjourned at $50 p. m. Tuesday at
the request of the attorney general.
As soon as court convened Wednes-
day morning the arguments in the
Thurmond case was commenced. Gen.
Butler opened for the State. He was
followed by ex Gov. Sheppard. N. g.:
Evans and J. Fl. Tillman of Edgefeld
and Col. Croft of Aiken, the attorneys
for the defense. The attorney gener-
al closed for the State. All of the ar
guements were strong, eloquent aud
logical. At the conclusion of the ar
guments the court inquired of the jury
if they desired to proceed with the case
or wait until the morning. They re-
sponded that they would prefer a
postponement and the case was car
ried over until Thursday.
AS soon as court met Thursday
morning Judge Benet commenced his
charge to the jury. He consumed
about an hour, and his charge was
generally pronounced as one Of the
ablest ever delivered at Edgefeld.
The jury retired, and after remaining
about forty minutes returned with q
verdict OF not guilty. AS soon as the
verdict was announced Mr.. Thurmond
received the congratulations of many
of his friends.

The dyspeptic carries a dreadful
load on his back. It seems as if he
were really made up OF two men. One
of them ambitious, hrainy and ener
ge.ic; the other sick, listless, peevish
aud without force. The weak man
weighs the other one down. The dys-
peptic may be able to do pretty good
work one day, and the next day be-
cause of some little indiscretion in
eating, he may be able to do nothing
at all. Most cases OF dyspepsia start
with constipation. CONSTIPATION is the
cause of nlne,tenths of all human
sickness. Some Of its symptoms are
sick and bilious headache, dizziness,
sour stomach, loss OF appetite, foul
breath, windy belchings, heartburn,
pain and distress after eating. Ali
these are indicative of arrangements
OF the liver, stomach and bowels, and
all are caused bv constipation. DR..

Cnlor Limo In Mills,

As The result of the employment of
25 negro women in the folding depart
meut of the Fulton Bag and Cotton
mills, in Atlanta Wednesday morning,
over l.400 women and children have
gone out on one of the largest strikes
that has ever occurred in this city.
The mills were forced to shut down
their entire plant and will affect fully
1000 people of the working classes.
When the notice was put up that the
mills were closed, much disorder broke
out, and it was the inclination OF the
strikers at first to cause trouble, but
the police reserve force arrived in time
to quell any disturbance. The local
textile union took the side of the strik-
ers and sent notice to them to hold out
for their rights. When this became
known, the employees Of the mills all
white, walked out. Some OF those
were the oldest and most reliable ems
ployes of the company. Mr.. Elsas,
president OF the company, explained
that it was only a small affair and
would be arranged in short time, at!
ter which the mills would reopen on
full time. The strikers, however, are
determined and receiving the aid Of
the local unions, will hold out to the
last. Several years ago the same ex-
pertinent was tried in working negroes
with the same result. None of them
have ever been employed in the mills.
Unless the difficulty is arranged to-
morrow, trouble will be looked for.
