SAVED BY A MIRACLE.
Thrilling Incident of RaiIroading In
the Mountains.

Columbia, S. c., July 2o.-News has
reached here of the thrilling and ter
rible experience of train load of pas
sengers on the Murphy branch of the
Southern road. which runs from Ashe-
vile over the Balsam range. At the
gap through which the railroad cross
es the mountains it is about 5000 feet
above the sea. This is reached by GO
ing up heavy grade for nine miles.
A flat car loaded with. big logs es-
capped from siding near the mountain
top and went down the grade at a furi-
Gus fan. Just before reaching a high
trustle over a rocky ravine, there was
a curve. Around that curve the car
was coming at a rate of speed estimat-
ed at 80 miles an hour, when it was
seen by the engineer of the upward
bound passenger train, whose engine
was then in the middle of the trestle.
The possibility of escaping disaster
did not occur to the engineer. He did
not attempt to stop the train, knowing
1t would be useless. Struck by that
car, engine and train would be knocked
off the trestle and crushed. Every seat
in the two passenger cars was filed,
but fortunately few saw the danger. 1t
was all over in two seconds. Within
forty feet of the engine the runaway
car struck the last bend of the curve.
1t seemed to rise in the air and pitch
off the embankment
One of the timbers hit the cow
catcher of the passenger train but did
no material damage.

TO REVIEW THE EVIDENCE.
Eskew's Murderers stiII Have Lease
of Life at st. Augustine.

st. Augustine, Fla, July 20.-Major
A. G. Hartridge, states attorney, who
prosecuted Kirby and Lee, the murder
ers of Eskew. will review the evidence
in that trial, on Monday, with the view
of presenting such Of the evidence of
Kirby and other witnesses as is re-
ported to exonerate Lee as the instiga-
tor of Askew's murder. The testimony
during the trial OF the murderer was
conclusive enough to merit the verdict
of murder in the first degree. No new
evidence is offered and the investiga-
ton is to be made to satisfy the pc
titioner as to Kirby's statement alone.
There is ugly talk among GER
tain negroes to the effect that
mems votes in the late local
election were given with the
understanding that Lee. and possibly
Kirby, should not be hanged.

Now, there was a burial place for

NEGRO KILLED BY A SNAKE.
Reptile CrnwIed Down His Throat

While He Slept in Dismal swamp.
From the Washington Post.
Suffolk, Va, July 1S.-Word of re-
markable Dismal Swamp snake story,
the result of which was the death of
Grant wilkins, a negro, reached here
this evening. The victim was literally
choked to death in his sleep by long
black snake. wilkins, whose home
was in North Carolina, had started
through the swamp alone to look after
single timber. The weather being
warm, he sat down by a big juniper
tree to refresh himself and fell asleep.
When found Wilkins was dead. Near
ly three feet of live snake were pro-
truding from his mouth. BY his side
were an empty beer bottle and sar-
dine box, remnants of his luncheon.
wilkins neck was swollen, his eyes
protruded, and an expression of agony
was on his face. 1t took the strength
of two men to pull the snake from the
corpse. It's head and about two feet
OF the body We're inside. The reptile
was killed. II is supposed that wilkins
was sleeping with his mouth open and
the snake took 1t for hole that need
ed investigation. Another theory is
that the snake was attracted by sar-
dimes.

STORM DAMAGE AT COLUMBUS.
Falling Wall brushes Buildings.
Woman Struck by Lightning.

ny
Columbus. Ca, July 20.-A violent
electrical storm passed over the city
this afternoon, accompanied by sharp
wind. The south wall of the Fletcher
Bullock building on First avenue,
which was being torn away to give
place to new stores and stables, was
blown down, crushing three single
story stores south of 1t. The first one
was occupied by a plumber, and tin
shop, and fortunately there was no one
in the building at the time. The dam
age to this building will amount to 3d.
900. including the tools and stocks.
The next store was a bakers shop.
Several people were standing in the
doorway and rushed out as the wall
was falling. Miss Loula Cruch, who
had just gone into the bakery to seek
shelter from the rain, was caught by
the falling timbers and was badly
bruised. She will not die, however.
No one else was hurt. There is talk
of damage suits, and II is claimed that
the contractors and owners had been
warned that the wall was dangerous.
At her home on East Highlands, Mrs.
George Maddox was struck by light
ming. She was out In the yard at the
time and seems TO have received the
stroke direct. She was unconscious
for several hours, but is getting along
all right tonight. A large black spot
on the side of the neck. resembling a
bruise, is the only mark left on her
person by the lightning.

THE GODS OF OLD EGYPT.
People of Ancient Times Worship
ped Many queer Defties.

From the Gentlemans Magazine.
Visitors of the British museum, In
specting the antiquities in the Egypt
ian rooms, are much interested in the
array of cat mummies in one of the
wall cases. Wonder is often expressed
why cats and crocodiles should have
been embalmed and why the gods OF
Egypt should have various animal
heads, such as the lion, the jackal, the
ibis and the hawk. II seems 80 incred-
ibly stupid, as we'll as so superstitious'
considering how advanced the Egypt
iians were in civilization and culture.
They could build temples, erect mas
sive obelisks and carry out great engi-
neering works. There are sculptured
figures in the museum which date from
$500 3. G.. There are manufactured
articles and specimens of writing prob
ably a thousand years older than that.
The ancient people possessed an in
genious form of hieroglyphic writing In
which a feather was the letter A and
a lion the letter l.. But feather was
also the emblem Of truth, and all the
letters had been emblems or symbols of
things and qualities.
Does II not occur TO us that perhaps
the animal heads were symbolic also
and the cats and crocodiles were en-
balmed because of their sacred signifi-
canoe? The Egyptians were not fools,
and we must not laugh at their wor-
ship of the cat without seeking TO un-
derstand II.
Trees, serpents and other things had
a place in the religious symbolism OF
the Egyptians. The persea tree seems
10 mark the place OF sun rising on mid
summer day, and. curiously, there was
a. great cat" connected with this tree.
In the seventeenth chapter OF the
Book of the Dead" the cat Is ex-
planned to be RIA himself, the chief god.
A serpent was often carried In long
mystical procession, and in some OF
the pictures a cat is represented in the
act Of cutting off its head. Along with
the ass the cat Is called a sayer OF
great words In the Hall OF the Two
Truths.
These instances are enough to show
that the cat had a place In the rell-
glous symbolism OF the Egyptians. The
Hon, the serpent, the crocodile, the
bull and other animals each had It's
special significance. The bull was 80
important that "a sacred bull, called
the Apla, was kept at Memphis and
treated with great respect. But he
was not allowed 20 live more than
twenty-five years. and the most likely
reason ia that he represented a lunar
cycle Of twenty-five years. which must

CAMDEN'S BIG RICE CROP.
Planters There Expect Big Returns
If no Storm Comes.


Brunswick, Ga, July 20.-Hon. Rufus
S. Lang, former state senator, came
down from Camden to-day and made
some interesting statements regarding
the rice crop in his county. Mr.. Lang
says that unless something unforeseen
occurs Camden will yield q big crop
this year, as so far there has been no
freshets or other backsets to interfere.
Should the yield be as full as present
indications look Camden alone will
market yield from over three thous-
and acres of the staple. This will be
about the heaviest yield of any county
in the state. Camden's crop is distrib-
uted amongst a number of small
planters, and a few large ones. The
largest growers, and an estimate of the
acreage they have under cultivation,
is about as follows: Mr.. Houston
Clinch, 800 acres; Mr.. D. P. Rose. ZOO
acres; Mr.. ]. X. Bedell, 400 acres. The
average yield per acre is about forty
bushels and the average price per
bushel will be about $1.00, thus giving
to Camden county rice planters nearly
$125.0 900 for this seasons crop.
Glynn county will have a handsome
yield of rice this season also as every
thing so far has been favorable. Mr..
James T. Dent, is the largest planter
The Shakers are also planters and they
will make some money this season.
