completion of the building, the pastor.
ate has been filed by Rev. Montgomery
Jackson, though it is said that from the
beginning his flock have been divided in
their feelings toward him.
Yesterday there was no little excite
ment among the blacks when it was
known that the rector of St. Joseph s
church had been arrested fer selling IL
quor unlawfully, and that at a hearing
before Commissioner Morrissey he had
been bound over in the sum of 5000.
Members of his own congregation are
his accusers.
The accused declares that the whole
matter is the result Of a conspiracy to
drive him from the pastorate and that
there is no case against him.
1t is somewhat singular that jackson
was formerly a Kentucky gauger in the

Pennsylvania Said to BE Behind Pro-
posed New Line.


WINSTON, N. O., June 24-It is said
that the Pennsylvania railroad, which
owns a controlling interest in the Nor
folk and Western, is behind the move
ment to build the proposed road from
Wadesboro to Winston Salem. A
southern connection would prove vaIu-
able feeder and is just what the Norfolk
and Western has been wanting for
years.
The amount of coal shipped from the
mines III Virginia and West Virginia
and given to the Southern railway here
would be worth a great deal to the new
road, another reason given for the be-
lief that the Pennsylvania and Norfolk
and Western are interested in the plan
to build q road south from the Winston
Salem division Of the Norfolk and Wes-
tern.
1t is said that no less than s., 900, 900
will have been expended when all the
steel bridges and the work begun on the
road is completed. OF course the rail
road officials are not talking for publ
cation, but it comes from reliable
source that the Winston Wadesboro
road is a certainty and that when COM
pleted it will be operated by the Norfolk
and Western.

Some Narrow Escapes.

Other portions of the railroad yards
were washed out and 100 box cars were
wrecked. The house in which the post
master lived at Vivian was washed
away.
A young son of the sectionmaster rode
on driftwood for miles and was then
lodged in a tree, from which he was
rescued.
A negro section hand who was in the
sectionmaster' house when the flood
waters struck the building was drowned.
The rain ceased falling about o'clock
Sunday morning. There has been no
rain since that hour and the streams are
grad ually falling. A big furniture store
and large clearinghouse were washed
away at Vivian; also there were about
dozen small dwellings which were sit.
uated in the lower portion of the village.
Two dead bodies, both negroes, were
seen at Eckman and three negroes and
one white corpse at Empire.
Two iron bridges were washed away
at Vivian and another at North Fork
Junction and three persons are supposed
to have been drowned near the latter
place. All the bridges and trestlework
have been washed away on the Simmons
river branch of the Norfolk and West.
ern system. All the telegraph lines are
down and the tracks are badly washed
out on this division.
Stories Have Been Exaggerated.
The people who came from Vivian did
not come through the town of keystone,
but only around it, They state, how
ever, that the damage done there is I !
near as great as was at first reportC
They think that not more than a dozen
houses were washed away. They can.
not say how many, if any, lives were
lost at keystone. Of the 10 miles of
railroad between the town of Vivian
and Ennis it is stated there is not 100
yards of track in one place, and it is
thought this division will not be repair
ed for a fortnight. Fifty persons walked
over this wash out territory Sunday to
get from Vivian to Ennis.
The damage done ali over the coal
fields is immense, but every one seem )
to have been too greatly excited and too
anxious to get away to take time to in.
uuire into the affairs of his neighbo bors.
It is certain, however, that much valua.
BILE machinery has been washed away
Many of the wrecked cars along th }
Elkhorn valley have been washed down
the river and probably will be a total
| loss.
East of Ennis the train had little
trouble getting through to Bluefields.
Two bridges are gone between Vivian
and Welch.
At Shawnee, the Shawnee Coal COM
pany lost all their mine mules, which
were in the stable when the storm swept
down on them.
PestiteriOus Negroes.
A report from Keystone has it that a
mob of negroes there refuse to work
for 50 day. but are loafng around
and watching their chance to steal
| from the debris.
Another report says that the number
of dead there is II, and that of this
number 10 have been buried. News.
paper men have gone to the coalfe1ds
to get reliable information, and it is ex.
pected that something definite will be
known within the next % hours.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and

DETAILS ARE COMING IN

Number of Deaths Reported Have
Doubtless Been Exaggerated-Nev-
ertheless, Disaster Was Bad Enough
as 1t Was-News Is Slow.
ROANOKE, Va, June 4-The passen-
ger train from the west over the Nor
folk and Western railroad which is due
here at 1:55 p. m. did not reach Roanoke
until half-past this morning. When
the train came in there were many peo-
pie at the station who had waited anx-
iously all night for the belated news
carrier from the devastated coal fields
of West Virginia
Among those who came in on this
train and who had been in the storm
was prominent business man of Roam
oke, several railroad men and woman
and two children. They came direct to
Roanoke from Vivian, and were COM
PEELED to walk a distance of IL miles
from that place to the small town of
Ennis, where they were enabled to get
train for this city.
These passengers declare that the
number of deaths has been exaggerated
and feel confident that not more than
100 persons have lost their lives, though
they cannot say with any certainty as
to the number. The mountain districts
lying back from the railroads probably
have suffered heavily and the exact loss
of life will not be known for several
dayS

Story of the Disaster.

A railroad man who has been work
ing at Vivian told the Associated Press
correspondent that the rain started last
Friday night and continued for some
time in moderation, but shortly after
midnight the heavens seemed to open
and poured out great volumes of water.
When the cloudburst was over Vivian
a passenger train was standing in the
railroad yards. About 40 passengers,
of whom three were women, werein the
cars. The water rose rapidly and soon
was over the trucks of the cars. Houses
and cars were being washed about be-
fore the eyes of the frightened passen-
gers. Ropes were thrown to the cars
and the male passengers caught them
and waded through the water, which
was now waist deep, to places of safety
around the coke ovens on the adjoining
hills. The ladies were too much fright.
ened to get into the water and were
placed on the tender of the engine,
where they were safe.
