Twenty-Five Passengers Were on Board and Several Injured
 But None Killed

 vented second Accident.

Hamlet, N. C., June 17-Late last night the northbound Seaboard Air Line Atlanta special turned broadside off a trestle into a pond about a mile north of Rocking ham.
 There were on board some twenty-five or thirty passengers, all of whom were more or Jess injured. several very seri- ously, and two-a white man and ne- gro-probably fatally. There were three ladies and some children aboard, none of whom were seriously hurt. The engine and two mail cars passed over in safety, but the combination baggage and second, the first-class and two Pullmans turned over. On account of the rains the piers of the trestle gave way on the left side. At the first crash all lights went out and water rushed in waist deep through the windows.
 Baggagemaster Smith, though serious ly hurt himself, at once thought of the freight following close behind. He crawled out and seized a lantern, hobbled down the track and Jagged the freight When the freight stopped he was lying on the ground unable to rise, but still waving his lantern. He fell time and time again before he succeeded in getting far enough back to flag the train. He had to be carried back on s stretcher.
 The newsboy alsY did heroic work, crawling through the cars helping the almost drowned passenger to escape through the transom over a door.
 A relief train came from Hamlet with doctors, and another from Rockingham. The hotel here is being used as a tenn porary hospital

INVENTED BY A WOMAN,
Litter Devised by wife Of Capt. Chad =
wick of the Navy-Madc by
/ Women. Too.

= The most practical litter yet con-
btrueted for carrying the wounded is
the invention OF Mrs. Chadwick. the
wife of the captain who was in COM
mand Of the cruiser New York at the
battle OF Santiago. II is designed es-
pecially for use in war, but it is equal
ly convenient for hospital or family
use and it's cost is slight.
1t is n kind OF hammock chair, and
while its weight is only 3ik pounds II
will support the heaviest person. Tho
bearers wear harness of two lea thesr
straps, one Of which goes over the
shoulder and the other around the
waist. The shoulder strap il passed
through n broad piece of webbing to
prevent it from cutting the shoulder OF
the bearer. To the belt strap two
strong rings are attached TO which the
carrier is fastened. A canvas strip
forms the chair.
The bearers hands are left free and
any inequality Of height in the benr-
ers is overcome by adjusting the
length OF the shoulder straps. so that
the waist belts shall be at the same dis
tance from the ground The hospital
corps OF the United States army has
pronounced the device the best and
simplest yet used. A woman invented
1t and women manufacture it.

were conducted at the home on Tuesday
morning by Rev. J. L. Bryan OF Manzi-

pay last tribute to one who has lived
among us for many years. There were
many beautiful floral offerings. Inter-

The accompanying poem shows the
high esteem in which deceased was held
by her family and friends.
The heightened, and useful, and beauti.

or her life are now fled, and fountain
OF tears
We fain would now shed, did we not
surely know,
That the robe that she wears is washed
winter than snow,
And the crown that adorning her slight
silvered hair
Was made for the purest of spirits to
wear.
She has crossed the still waters, so dark
and so deep;
She has found such sweet rest, such n
long quiet sleep
"Where no troubles assail," where no
sorrow can come;
Where the angels white fingers the
golden harps thrum;
And the broad victor palm" which she
bears in her hand,
Is bulge of the holy i'll Gods beloved
land.
Her life was too pure for the pencil to
trace:
Her goodness of heart might be read in
her face;
And, when her life's sunshine was
sprinkled by tears,
She clung to the cross, and her faith
banished fears;
For well did she know that each trinl

But placed in her Saviours crown one

She was grandma" to all, both the rich
and the poor,
For none were sent hungry away from
her door,
The orphans will bless her for long
coming years,
And her church will shed over her
pure, loving tears.
Her life sh ould be written on tablets OF
gold;
She had grown rich in grace rs in years
she'd grown old.
When the "angel OF death" with the
last summons came,
She "Glorified God, and sang praise to
his name,''
Asking, when shall I reign with dear

And from his fount flowing drink ever
