Near Hinton.
WORST DISASTER SINCE ASTHABULA.
Ex-Governor Mac Corkle, Hon. Alex. McVey
Miller, Hon. Arnold c. SCherr and Other
Prominent West Virginians Reported to

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, No
vember 26.-The most disastrous
wreck since the terrible calamity
of Ashtabula years ago, is report
ed here from Hinton, w. Va
The report is that train No. l,
a fast westbound flyer on the Ches-
apeake & Ohio, jumped the track
about mile east of Hinton, and
plunged into the Greenbrier river
The train consisted of seven
coaches, baggage c., ESP - lr,
engine and tender, and it is the re-
port that all of it went into the
river.
The water is fifteen feet deep at
that point, and after the terrible
plunge, there was nothing above
the surface of the stream to indicate
the awful wreck hidden below.
A conservative estimate placed
the number o. people aboard the
train at two hundred. 1t was one
of the Chesapeake & Ohios spe-
ial fast trains west and carried
large lists of through passengers
from Washington and the East.
Among the people known to have
been on the train are Ex-Governor
William A MacCorkle; Hon. Ar
mold C. Scherr, auditor-elect; and
Hon. Alex. Mcvey Miller. a mem

Wires are down in all directions,
and neither Geographic or tele-
phone connection could be gotten
with either Hinton, Charleston. or
Huntington.
A brief word to the Huntington
Office of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad at Huntington, over the
railroad companys wires brought
the answer from one of the opera
tors that there had been no wreck,
but this is not believed.
How Information Came Here.

member of the State Legislature.
and now a member of the State

He left home yesterday evening for
Charleston, where he was to meet
Hon. Alex. McVey Miller, of Lewis
burg, another member of the board,
and with him travel TO Weston to
attend ameeting of the board. Mr..
1oler waited in Charleston for the
train bearing Miller to arrive, but
il had not gotten in at o'clock,
VIXEN he left for Parkersburg. He
made inquiry at the hotel, and
later went to the telegraph Office,
where he was informed that the
train, which was due at Charleston
at a. M, and at Hinton two hours
earlier, had plunged into the
Greenbrier river.
There was great excitement in
Charleston over the wreck and
persons acquainted with the
movements of Ex-Gov. MacCorkle
and Auditor-Elect Scherr gave him
the information that they were on
the train, and were expected to ar

Rev. DR.. Pleasant Hunter, pastor of

notice of his resignation to the congrega-
ton at the service yesterday morning
The resignation is to take effect as soon
as his successor can be secured. The act
ual severance of his pastorate will proba-
bly, not take place for several months.
The resignation was a purely voluntary
one and q surprise to the congregation.
1t comes as the preliminary to an extend
ed European vacation, which Dr. Hun
ter has long contemplated. The trip
abroad will render his future work In
the ministry so uncertain that it was in
cumbent upon him to sever all ties that
bind
II have intended to take at least a
years rest ever since 1 entered the min
istry,' said Dr. Hunter, after 1 had
completed a certain term of service. I
doubt If the congregation will be able to
select my successor before next June. l
will remain with the church, of course,
until he has been installed. I will be
abroad at least a year, and very probably
may lengthen my stay to two years. exs
pect to reach Europe soon enough to be In
Paris during the latter part of the expo
sition. l will devote considerable time to
the different countries Of continental Eu-
rope, and will make a long visit in Scot

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Lord Roberts enigt
NAUTICAL announcement, mo change in thu

anxiety or to explain the silence sur1
rounding Buffers movements on the Tug
gela, and, although there is disposition
to regard the dispatch as disposing Of
Saturdays adverse rumor the week ha5
opened in a state Of suspense almost
equal to that Of last week, because It Is
recognized that failure In Gen. Buller'a
present attempt would seal the fate Of
Ladysmith.
Presumably mo change in the situaS
ton refers to previous dispatches sent
to the war Office which have not yet been
revealed to the public. Except the am
nouncement of the seizure OF Potgeiter'a
Drift and Of the advance of Gen. Warren,
there has been no news from the Tugela
for week. A ray of hope is in the fact
that the same silence prevails from tho
Boer side.
Thus 1t may perhaps be fairly inferred
that Gen. Butler has not yet met serti
Gus check - !
If the announcement of Gen. Warren's
movement be correct, 1t is evident that
Gen. Buffers forces are spread over
very wide front - perhaps twenty-five
m1les-and, In the event OF suuuen lai5
Of the river, his operations might be full
of danger. 1t is believed that Gen. Bulleh
has no good survey maps Of the district.
This will add to his difficulties.
Sir Charles Warren's advance probably
means an attempt to seize Hlangwa1
HILL the main post Of the Beers south of
the Tugela. Upon the success or failurd
Of these operations depends the whole fl3
ture of the campaign. Until the result Is
known Lord Roberts will be unable td
decide how to dispose of the two divisiona
and the reinforcements now arriving.
