A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Dave Mcdonald Killed by Shifting Engine
Last Night---Track Was Up and
Engine Ran OFF.

Last night about s. Is o'clock an ac-
pot which caused Dave Mcdonald to
lose his life and Jim Bradley to be in
jured. The accident was caused by
the track being torn up while under
going repairs. The track in question
was the old main line, next to the
passenger depot. The night crew Of
the shifting enigne had been on duty
only a few minutes, and the engine
was being run quite rapidly down the
cid main line to the water tank. The
coupler, Dave Mcdonald, and the
switchman, jim Bradley, both color
ed, were standing on the foot-board of
the tender, the engine running back
wards. When the place at which the
track was taken up was reached the
engine ran off and Mcdonald was
thrown under the wheels and almost
instantly crushed to death. Bradley
was thrown to the side of the track
and was slightly hurt. It appeared
from the evidence that there were
cross-ties where the track was sup
posed to be, but no rails and the en-
CINE ran several yards over the ties
before it was stopped by Engineer Jim
Miller.
This is the account of the accident
as well as could be gathered from the
testimony given at the Coroner's in
quest today. Coroner Flowers held the
inquest this morning over the body of
Mcdonald. A number of witnesses
were examined. DR.. S. G. Baker,
who made the post mortem examina
tion, testified that the injuries sus-
tained by Mcdonald were sufficient
to cause death and that his body had
been run over and crushed by some
heavy vehicle such as an engine.
The other witnesses we're employees
OF the railroad company and they test
fled as to the condition of the track
at the time of the accident and that
the track was torn up, no danger
signals were displayed and that the
night crew of the shifting engine had
not been notified as to the condition
of the track. AS to who should have
notified the night crew there was no
agreement, some not knowing whose
duty it was, but one witness said it
was the section masters duty to notify
the yard master and the day yard mas
ter should notify the night yard mas
ter and he should have notified the
crew of the shifting engine and dis
played the proper danger signals at
the point the track was torn up. The
day yard master, it appears, was not
notified.
The Coroner's jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict: "That Dave McDon-
aid came to his death through careless
ness on the part of the railroad en-
ployes.''
Mcdonald was in an accident at
Bennettsville about five years ago, it
is said, that was similar in many re-
spects to that Of last night, and out of
crew of four three were killed, Nc
Donald alone escaping.

THE BAPTIST BAZAAR.
A Delightful Fairyland in the Armory
Last Night.

The Baptist Bazaar opened Monday
night and delightful evening was
spent by many in the veritable fairy
land that had been fitted up in the
S L. I. Armory.
To describe the manner in which
the bazaar was gotten up would be
difficult task. There was row CT
booths on each side Of the hall and the
place had the appearance Of a coun-
try fair" with its numerous side shows
or midway Commencing at the
right, was the gypsy tent" in charge
of Misses Winburn and Cuttino and
Mr.. Shaw. Here you could have your
future truthfully revealed (?l for
small consideration. At this end Of
the hall were the several departments
where the eatables were dispensed.
The hot supper department" was IN
charge of Mesdames Randle, Brunson,
Welch and Miss Fannie Haynsworth.
Mrs. a. G. Gordon had charge of the
coffee table. The ..cake department"
was under the supervision Of Mrs. E.
Il. Rhame, and the ice cream was
served by Mrs. R. z. Wilder. The
chocolate department. was presided
over by Mrs. Murat DeLoFme.
The other booths we're named and
we're quite uniquely planned. "Rebec-
ca at the Well" was the source Of the
lemonade supply. Miss Susie Bell
LaMotte was ssRebecca'' and the
booth was in charge of Miss Gussie
Dinkins. GAS You Like It" came
next, and here you could buy candy
and various sweet meats This de-
partment was maEaged by Miss Julia
NCuttino. The sold Curiosity Shop
was filed with various articles as one
would suppose. Miss Hettie White
was Little Nell" during the evening.
At the Vanity Fair booth was dis
played fancy work of all kinds and
Resolutions Mrs James Richardson
acted as proprietor of this booth.
Last, but not least, comes Uncle
Toms Cabin In this ''show" were
a number Of young gentlemen, who as
negroes, sang old-time melodies and
coonn songs. The price of admis-
sion was only "a nickle'' and the
cabin was crowded at every per-
torrance. A short program Of music
and songs was rendered, also, out in
the hall. There were number OF
flower venders, zoo. who sold sweet
boquets at whatever you chose to pay
for them. The supper served by the
ladies was an elegant one and was
enjoyed by all who participated in it.
AS whole, the bazaar was decided
success last night and should be even
more pleasant tonight and more large
" attended. The management deserves
credit for the bazaar and its many at
fractions.
