TRAINLOAD KILLED.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS tn.
Three Cars Plunge Into = Swollen Stream
Ruins Burn Up. Completing the Ter
rible Work.

Atlanta, Ga, June PA passenger
train on the Macon branch of the
Southern railway ran into washout
one and one-half miles north of Nc
Donough, Ga, last night and was COM
pletely wrecked.
The wreck caught fire and the entire
train, with the exception Of the sleep
er, was destroyed.
Every person on the train except the
occupants Of the Pullman car perished.
Not a member of the train crew escap-
ed.
Thirty-five people in all were killed.
A cloudburst broke over that section
OF the country about 6 o'clock last
night. and presumably washed out a
section Of the track nearly 100 feet In
length.
Into this the swiftly moving train
plunged. The storm was still raging,
and all the car windows were closed.
The passengers, secure, as they
thought, and sheltered comfortably
from the inclement weather, went to
death without IN instant's warning.
The train, consisting Of baggage,
car, second class coach, first class
coach and a Pullman sleeper, was
knocked into kindling wood by the
fall.
The wreck caught fire In few min
utes after the fall and all the coaches
were burned except the Pullman car.
Every person on the train except the
occupants of the Pullman car perished
In the disaster. There was NO escape
as the heavy Pullman weighted down
the others and the few alive ia the
sleeper were unable to render assist
ance to their fellow-passengers
For brief time there was silence.
Then the occupants of the Pullman car
recovered from their bewilderment and
after hard work managed to get out
Of their car, and found themselves on
the track in the pouring rain. The
extent of the catastrophe was quickly
apparent
Flames were already seen coming
from that part of the wreck not COW
cred by water. As the wreck began
to go to pieces under the destructive
work Of both flames and flood, human
bodies floated out from the mass and
were carried down stream by the swift
current. The storm did not abate in
fury. Flashes of lightning added to
the steady glow of the burning train
and lit up the scene with fearful dis
tinctness.
Flagman Quinlan, who was one of
the first to get out. at once started for
the nearest telegraph station. Making
bis way as rapidly us possible in the
face of the binding storm, he STUN
bled into the office at McDonough and
after telling the night operator of the
wreck, fell fainting to the floor. Word
was quickly sent to both Atlanta and
Macon but no assistance was to be
had except in the latter city, as the in
terrupted track prevented the arrival
Of any train from Macon.

under several hundred pounds"
The eyes of Adam Leslie glistened.
Avarice was one of the mans beset-
ting sins. 1t was the haste to be rich
which had landed him in the net Of
the Millionaire Gerald Moore.
He grasped Moore's arm.
And you can give me this informa-
tion-I? For PHYS sake, let me know
all. Moore"
for few minutes spoke in low but
deliberate and distinct voice. Leslie
drank in every word. His hatred Of
the Beers was only equaled by his lust
for gold, and the two passions, seeing
q way to be satisfied here. rendered
his rubicund face agitated and con-
vulsed with emotion.

. CHAPTER v.

Bluebell had come down prepared to
give her father her answer. and to
make her proposal to him, in the
morning: but to her surprise and con-
sternation, she learned that he had
gone of on horseback. no one knew
whittier, not saying when he should
return.
1T was Sam who saw him CO." said
Miss Elizabeth in a frightened tone,
"and he says he went in the direction
of Ladysmith: but of course he may
be going much farther than that-he
may be going by train. Do you know
nothing about it, Bluebell?"
Bluebell shook her head. She was
more put about even than her aunt by
this new move. What could it mean?"
Dear auntie, you're not afraid OF
the Beers, are you? They have never
done us any harm, why should they
now? Though they are fighting with
armed themselves. not with helpless,
unarmed people, especially women"
The day passed, the women going
about their usual avocations; but
Adam Leslie did not return. 1t was
not till late in the evening that he rode
at hard pace up the avenue and into
the steading. right up underneath the
stoop or veranda. Bluebell went down
to meet him, then turned away with a
shudder, for she could see he was deep
ly flushed and his eyes blazing, while
he staggered slightly as he got off his
horse.
SAM" cried Bluebell to the Zulu
servant who had appeared at the
sound of the horses hoofs, take my
fathers horse. Father. take my arm,
she said, in low voice.
But he flung her off with an oath.
Away into the house! You are 9
disobedient creature, and l will have
nothing to do with you!" he snarled
He himself staggered into the sitting
room, where he lay down on a couch
and fell asleep. without even remov-
ing his great riding boots.
Bluebell could not speak to him that
night. She crept away, bitterly hui
inflated and distressed; and Miss
Elizabeth came in and endeavored tc
comfort her; but it was such comfort
as one who is ignorant of the real ma.
ture or depth of wound can give.
BY the morning her father had slept
off his drunken fit. Bluebell managed
to get few minutes alone with hin
after breakfast, during which he wa.
sullen and silent. not exchanging {
word with the women.
