DEAD ON THE TRACK.
Body of Brother of Late Gov. Ell.

Special to The State.
Florence, August 5.-Thursday
night Herbert S. Ellerbe, brother
of the late Gov. Ellerbe, was
killed either by the fast south.
bound passenger train No. 35, or
else by foul play and placed on
the track to conceal the crime.
The accident happened between
Sellers and Latta, and was not
known in Florence until late
yesterday afternoon. A Negro
coming along the track yesterday
morning discovered the mangled
remains and reported his discov-
cry to the agent at Latta, who
notified the coroner of Marion
county and j. DeJongh of this
city who investigates such mat
ters for the Atlantic Coast Line.
The accident was horrible in
every detail. Portions of the
mans body were found strewn
along the track to Pee Dee bridge,
and it is said when the train ar
rived at Charleston some of his
clothing and a part of his remains
were taken from the trucks of the
rear Pullman car. The crew were
not aware of the accident until
the train reached Charleston.
1t is almost impossible to tell
how the accident occurred, but
from the fact that the unfortunate
man had that day sold tobacco at
Latta, the theory of foul play has
been advanced. When found, his
trousers pockets were turned In
side out, and one cent was found
upon his person, although it is
stated when last seen he had $5.
1t might be that he was murdered
and placed upon the track.
Mr.. Ellerbe was about 25 years
old and unmarried. The remains
were inferred at the family bury
ing ground at Sellers.

For the Enterp
Van Wick Items.

Mr.. EDITOR AS it has been
sometime since we saw anything
In the cOlums of the ENTERPRISE
from this part Of the county we
have concluded to send in a few
items such as we pick up along
the wayside. In our every
day life we enjoy those letters
from the various sections of the
country particularly Gray Beard
and your Dearburn correspondent
and would like visit from them
at least once week.
The farmers are about to wind
up laying by the crops. Pros
poets are fairly good but they are
needing more rain again. With
a few more good rains We would
have no cause to fear results.
The agitation of the wheat
growers convention is a move in
the right direction and every
county in the State should send
delegation of their best repre-
sentative farmers to il and let
South Carolina farmers seed one
hundred thousand acres of wheat
this fall that there will be one
drain on the cotton crop stopped.
We are bound to eat and whv
should we allow the North and
West to sell us what we can
make. We should also make our
meat as we'll as our bread and
break down this ruinOus credit
system that has been sapping our
very life blood and making out
OF the farmers the most abject
slaves to all other classes when,
by little self denial all along
the line, they would rise to that
station in the worlds estimation
they are entitled to.

Increase of Water Supply.

Freeland Water Company has com
pleted arrangements to increase the
water supply of town. Another artesian
well will be sunk near the South Heber-
ton pumping house. The well will be
twelve inches in diameter and will be
bored to depth which will insure a
large and steady flow of pure water.
As yet there is no scarcity of water
in town, but the steadily-increasing
population and the increase in consump-
ton by the local manufacturing and
other establishments which use from
the company's mains has caused the
directors to prepare to provide for the
future, a custom which has been follow
ed for years by the company and which
has resulted in keeping the supply at all
times considerably greater than the
demand. Work on the new well will
soon begin.

MANY HOMES IMPERILED.
LARGE CAVE-lN CAUSES DAMAGE AT
LUzERNE BOROUGH.

Abandoned Workings of the Black Dia-
mond Mine Are Sinking and Consider
able Property Is AfIected-Ouicksand
Not Yet Settled.
An extensive cavern occurred in the
abandoned workings of the Black Dia-
mond mine az Bennett Station, near
Luzerne borough, Monday night, and
the surface for four or five acres was
affected and much damage done. In
some parts the surface had gone down
distance Of two or three feet, while in
others the distance was but an inch or
two, enough to damage the residences
by cracking the plastering and walls
and to frighten the occupants into
vacating them.
The settled portion includes one of
the most populous sections of the bor-
ough and some of its most handsome
residences.
The CoXton branch of the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad settled between two and
three feet and the tracks were rendered
unsafe, while the cavern teXtendS to
the edge of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western tracks. Watchmen were
placed about the place by both compan-
les during the night, but there were no
further disturbances reported. The
track will be relaid when the ground
stops settling.
Large fissures appeared in the settled
surface early in the evening. The eel
lar walls of the residences were crack
ed and the inmates spent the night in
watching for further settlements.
Next day there was "a further settling
of the affected area from ten inches and
the disturbance is still going on.
Among the residences affected are
Benjamin Thompson's, George Thomp-
sons, three tenement houses owned by
George Thompson, George Schooleys
residence, j. d. Tiffany's residence,
William f. Austin's residence, Charles
dence, George Thompson's machine
shop and Thompson & Sons lumber
yard.
The damage to the residences can be
repaired, but at considerable expense.
The railroad companies are the heaviest
losers, as the tracks, machine shops and
lumber yards were greatly affected.
The surface is underlined with quick
sand and it is supposed that the cavern
started the run. When the opening
into the body of the mine is closed there
need be no further Apprehension of
danger.
AS the work had been abandoned, the
mine will not suffer in consequence.
But there is no telling how long it will
take for the quicksand to settle.

The first serious trouble since the
Nantcoke strike began occurred on
Tuesday, when Special Officer Michael
Corrigan, who was sworn in as guard
at one of the collieres, shot and slight
ly wounded a twelye-year-old Polish
boy. Corrigan was on his way home
from guard duty when several bows
began hooting him. Becoming excited,
he drew his revolver and fired with the
result stated. He was placed under
bail to appear for trial.
After Corrigan shot the boy the com
pany telegraphed to Sheriff Harvey for
protection and a carload of thugs were
rushed to the scene and are still there
displaying their Winchesters and en-
deavorng to cause a repetition of the
Lattimer massacre.
At another time during the day
several hundred women gathered and
held a meeting, at the conclusion of
which they made II canvass of the pump
runners and other employees who persist
in working. They pleaded with the men
to join the strikers, but offered no vio-
lence. Many complied with their re-
quests.
The strikers are behaving admirably,
and Notwithstanding considerable pro-
vocation there has not been the slightest
disorder since the strike began, other
than that caused by small boys.
Meetings between the company Off
cials and the strikers are now being
held, and it is believed an agreement
will be reached this week which will
end the strike,
Representatives of the strikers are
canvassing the Lehigh region for funds
to aid their fellow workers to continue
their struggle against the corporation
which tried to impose on them.
