Ki1Ie5 in 9, Wreck.

A serious and fatal wreck occurred
on the Plant System road near BenboW
mines, several miles from Charleston,
Wednesday night. The engine and
several freight cars jumped the track
and tumbled down an embankment,
killing Engineer Gooding, young
white man, and Fireman Harvey
Thompson and Brakeman Ben White,
colored. When the cars and engine
went down the lorg embankment the
cars caught on fire, and the surviving
members of the crew fought the fire to
prevent the bodies Of the dead from
being burned to crisp. The cause OF
the wreck is not known. The railroad
officials refuse positively to make a
statement. The conduct of the railroad
officials cannot be explained, unless 1t
be that they are anxious to cover up
something that ought to be exposed.
Coroner Dufus was holding the inquest
Thursday afternoon and Friday: The
examination was most thorough one,
and the blame will be fixed where 1t lies.

PEKIN HORRORS.

Missionary.
WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY.
The Refugees Arriving in San
Francisco Tell of Great
Hardships Experience
ed In China.
ed In China.

Rev. G. H Fem, returned mission
ary from Pekin, tells Of the first receipt
during the siege, of direct news by
Minister Corger from secretary of
State Hay. He said:
''On July Is we received message
that said:
Communicate tidings bearer
There was no date and no signature.
This Conger sent to the Tsung Ii Ya-
men with the request that it be plain.
Re received in reply copy of Minister
Wu's dispatch which stated that the
United States government demanded
word from Minister Conger in. cipher.
The message made our hearts lump
with joy. Conger sent his reply at
once.
The night before relief arrived We
heard the rattle from Chinese guns
IN the distance and it was sweet music.
Every body got up-it was cabout l
ociock-the women made coffee and
there was 40 more sleeping that
night. The next day as the Americans
came IN went down and shook hands
with each man as he came through the
water gate 4"
Cecile E. Payne, who went to Pekin
last spring as the guests of Minister and
Mrs. Conger, was passenger on the
steamer Coptic. She told graphic
story Of the siege On her arrival here.
"Of the whole eight weeks of terri
Die anxiety and dread" she said
three nights stand out with special
prominence. They are spoken of by
the besieged as the three nights The
first was just before the siege-about
June II or Is. That was while we
we're in the American legation. We
went into the British legation com
peuod on June 90 The nj ght I speak
of was one the foreigners will never
forget. All night long went up terri
bic cries-bowls and shouts of thous-
ands upon thousands Of Chinese crying
for the blood Of the foreigners. The
second terrible night was about the mid
die of the siege when after three or
four days OF muggy and sultry weather
one Of the most violent thounderstorms
| ever experienced broke over the city.
Everybody had predicted that with the
coming Of rain the Chinese would cease
firing, but the effect was just the oppo-
site. 1t was night of believing thun-
der. roaring artillery, incessant light
ming and pouring rain.
The third and last night Of horrors
was that Of August 1875, the day before
the rtlief came. On that night the
Chinese we're fairly frantic to break
in and kill US. The firing that had be-
fore seemed furious was tame compared
with the hail Of shot and shell that
poured in upeu US that night. Itcame
from all quarters, and seemed to be
from every imaginable kind of frearm.
We had received reports of the ap-
pr0ach Of the relief column, and knew
that it must be near from the furious
attempts Of the Chinese to slay US.
We expected that any moment might be
our last, as many breaches were made
by shells, and determined assault at
any one place would have opened the
wsy for the hordes outside. !"

Nemories Of Homestead.

The great stake now in progress in
the anthracite fields of Pennsylvania
had its counter part in the bloody Home
stead strike in 1892 The later countri-
buted largely to the defeat of the Re-
publicars in that memorable year.
The Homestead affair was one of the
worst in the history of monopoly war on
labor. The steel bsrons had setout to
destroy the unions and the elimination
Of their efforts was reached in the mur-

if they did they would knoT that every

knew more about the ice trust they
would know that its harm was con-

they knew that they hsd governor of

vould not let any harm come to his
people, they would know that there

the trust of windoT glass, or the en-

abous these trusts? Isl; dishonesty eV
is it ignorapce? Why is 1t that no Re
