A SAD HOMECOMING.
Alfred Coffey's Remains Brought
Home From the Wreck.

At 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the report reached town that the
wreck crew had discovered hu-
man body in the debris at the
scene of Monday mornings dis
aster north of town.
An ARDMoREITE reporter i'm
mediately went to the scene. The
body was found just to the rear of
where the overturned tender had
lain. 1t was reached by tunneling
in at the side next to the track and
at the very bottom. After consid-
erable work the body was taken
out and strong men laid it tenderly
upon an improvised litter which
was placed in a car and brought to
town.
The sight the body presented
was certainly a sad one. Seem
ingly the boy, for such it proved
to be, had been thrown violently
to the ground by the first shock,
the fall probably breaking his
neck. He had fallen just at the
base of the cut bank on the east
side, and coal, sand and wreckage
had piled up over him to the
height of several feet, crushing
and mangling the body in fear
ful manner. The face alone re-
tanned a resemblance of its orlgl-
nal outline.
The body was soon identified as
that of Alfred Coffey, II years of
age, who had been missing since
Sunday night. The remains were
taken to Browns undertaking
establishment, where they were
prepared for burial, and at .
O'Clock last night they were con
veyed to the home of his mother
near the round bale gin.
His brother in Texas was mott
fed by wire last evening.
The funeral took place today
from the family home, followed by
interment in South cemetery.

A Davis Sensation.

A rumor reached Davis that a
negro had attempted to kill white
woman a short distance north of
town. From what could be learn
ed, it seems a negro had called at
the home of a tenant, on the John
Mcmillan farm and asked for some
food. The woman, who was alone.
replied that she would get an arm
full of wood and prepare something.
Stepping out in the yard she
quickly jumped on a horse which
was standing there and rode rap
idly away. The negro seeing this
stepped to the door aud began
shooting at the woman. Our re-
port concludes that the woman was
unhurt and the negro escaped.

very steep behind the little village.
The climb was so steep that but for
the profusion OF saplings, shrubs, and
climbing plants that hedged in the
narrow path we should hardly have
managed it. When at last We reached
the top we found ourselves at height
of perhaps eight or nine hundred feet
above the sea, on the top of o long
ridge that seemed to run the whole
length of the island.
The land slopes downward from tue
central ridge on the northern side il
q succession of spurs, with deep glens
and watercourses between; but on the
southern coast, especially near the
eastern end of the island, the slopes
end abruptly in cliffs and precipitous
banks that descend to the ocean. It
is here that Pago-Pago lies, and from
the top of the ridge it can be seen like
a nearly circular basin of perfectly
smooth water, shadowed by the sur
rounding mountains, and with only
one narrow entranceway, which winds
between two lofty wooded bluffs. The
island is not moro than eighteen miles
long, and nowhere, Ishould Judge,
much more than five miles broad.
From what I. saw of the natives of
Tutuila, I should suppose them to be
we'll disposed to Europeans 80 long as
thew are not much interfered with.
There have been repeated and some.
what sanguinary wars among them
during the last twenty years.
There is certainly no wealth to be
extracted from Tutuila. Even the
