Plunged Into a Pond.
Atlanta Special of the S. A. l..
Wrecked Near Hamlet, N. G.. :.

i "a. -
Hamlet, N. c., June 49,
Sunday night, about 10 o'clock,
the northbound Seaboard Air
Line Atlanta special plunged into
a pond about / mile north of
Rockingham.
There were on board about 25
or 80 passengers, all of whom
were more or less injured, several
very seriously, and two, a white
man. and negro, probably fatally.
There were three ladies and some
children aboard, none of whom
was seriously hurt.
The engine and two mail cars
passed over in safety, but the
combination baggage and second,
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.
Baggage Master Smith, though
seriously hurt himself, at once
thought of the freight close be-
hind. He crawIed out, and seiz-
ing lantern, hobbled down the
track and tagged the freight,
thereby preventing a second
catastrophe. When the freight
stopped he was lying on the
ground unable to rise, but still
waving his lantern. He fell time
and again before he succeeded in
getting far enough back to flag
the train. He had to be carried
back on stretcher.
The newsboy also did heroic
work, crawling through the cars
helping the almost drowned pas
sengers to escape through the
transom over door.

New Party for Bryan.
4 Movement for third PARTY
Started In Kansas City
leaders Of the Movement
Have Long Conference
with the Editor of The
Commoner.

Kansas City, Mo. June IS. -
Definite steps toward the organi-
zation new ''tnird party
which is proposed to embrace
Missouri and to form the nucleus
for national growth were taken
today in Kansas City at a con-
ference of members of the Popu-
list State committee and few
Silver Republicans. The move
ment is said to have the expressed
sympathy for, if not the avowed
support of, VIM. j. Bryan, who,
it is further hinted, is to be the
new party's candidate for Presi-
dent in 1904.
Lee Meriwether, of St. Louis,
and % other leaders in the public
ownership party of ST. Louis, ar
rived in Kansas City during the
morning, after having spent the
whole of Yesterday in consultation
with Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln. They
are guarded in statements con-
corning Mr.. Bryan, but say if
the latter does not support the
present movement he is, at any
aate, in sympathy with its pur-
pose. Today's, conference was
secret. 1T will be continued to-
morrow and end with public
meeting when the result of the
gathering will be embodied in an
address.
The meeting was first suggested
by MIR. Cook, in a circular letter
asking a conference with the
Silver Republicans and the Pub
lie Ownership party leaders. In
response to this, Lee Merlwether
issued call for the meeting to-
day to the men of his party and
j: w. Foster, of ST. .Jossph, is
sued similar call to the Silver
Republicans. The conference was
to include middle Of the road
Populists and all Democrats and
Republicans who.might sympathize
with the reform movement.

Coupons Not Valid.
Judge Simonton Gives an Opinion
in q York County Bond Case.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
A verdict for the defendant was
allowed by Judge Simonton, in
the United States Court yesterday,
in the suit of Walter M. German,
of Pennsylvania, against Broad
River Township, in York County.
The suit was an action of law
brought on certain coupons clip
ped from bonds which had been
issued by the township to aid in
construction of the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad.
The Legislature, some years ago,
authorized townships interested
in the construction of this railroad
to subscribe to the capital stock
such sums us the majority of the
voters, at special election, should
agree to subscribe. The sub>
scriptions were to be in Z per
cent coupon bonds, payable in
twenty years.
In his opinion, Judge Simonton
recites the fact that an election
was held October II, 1885, at
which there was vote for S24, =
600 subscription. These bonds
were signed. Later, when the
road was completed through the
township, the engineer of the con
structlon company requested the
county commissioners to make
the issue, but they refused to do
so.
A case, which was meant to
test the validity of these bonds,
was heard before the State Su-
preme Court some years ago and
the Court held that the bonds
were invalid. The action before
Judge Simonton was on the cou-
puns of the bonds held to be in
valid, and it was held by the
Court that the validity of the
coupons rested on the validity of
the bonds. The decision from
the Supreme Court had established
the value of the coupons and fol-
lowing this the United States
Circuit Court decided that the
coupons were not valid. A YER
dict for the township was entered
accordingly.

Obituary.

! Died, at the home of DR.. and
Mrs. P. Lawrence, of Haughton,
La, January 26, 1901, Katie, their
beloved daughter, and devoted
wife of Alonzo w. Prince, aged
% years.
For the first time during a long
and prosperous union, the death
reaper has visited this happy
home and plucked one of its
brightest flowers, in the freshness
of her full blown beauty. AS the
message flashed from house to
house ''Katie is dead,'' a shadow
OF woe fell DER every heart and
home.
To most of earthly creatures,
''life is checkered, shade and sun
shine," but Providence ordained
that this dear one should tread
only its brightness. She was
blessed by nature, for she was
endowed with every gift of excel
lency; blessed by Inheritance, for
she could point to an ancestry of
high and unstained honor; bless
ed by circumstances, for her home
was the abiding place of every
joy and comfort; blessed by the
marriage tie, for her life was hap
PLY linked to one of unwavering
devotion, and sterling principles;
and to complete the fullness of
her life, she was given the crown
ing glory of motherhood, caressed
her trearure for a few days, and
passed on to joys eternal.
Her life was full of usefulness.
Even in childhood, she manifested
those virtues which characterize
the excellent woman. It was
Katie's hand that so readily re-
stored chaos into order; her sun
ny face and merry laugh, that
removed the frown, and forced a
smile; her voice that was ever
tuned to song. The home, church
and community will miss her; but
her sweet influence will live on.
May the spirit of all that is sweet
and holy abide with the little one
left to represent her. May God
speak comfort to the hearts of the
grief stricken husband, parents,
and other loved ones, for He is
too wise to err, and will preserve
their darling perfect, till time Of
blest reunion. A FRIEND.

Blackman-Scott.

DR.. Robert Hodges Blackman
and Miss Birdie Scott were united
in marriage at the First Presby-
terrain Church in Shreveport last
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Mr.. Hayden in the presence
OF a large number of friends, af-
ter which a brilliant reception was
held at the residence of the brides
parents. At 6 O'Clock the happy
couple left for New Orleans to at
tend hetcarnival festivities and to
visit the groom's relatives in
South Louisiana. On their re-
turn, they will make their home
at Plain Dealing.
DR.. Blackman is we'll and fav-
orably known in Bossier parish.
He is a prominent physician at
Plain Dealing, and by his upright
walk and gentlemanly department
has won the confidence and es-
TEEN of all who have the pleasure
of his acquaintance.
Miss Scott is daughter of DR..
John J. Scott, of Shreveport, who
located at Red Land before the
war, and practiced his profession
in this parish for many years.
The bride was born near Benton;
taught school several years in
Bossier parish, and is a social
favorite here. Her intelligence,
captivating manners and charm
ing beauty have rendered her
such. In the rounded splendor of
beautiful womanhood the young
bride stoops to gather hopes to
blossom along life's pathway,
which all wish will never wither
on her bosom. In the new home
of her young and shadowless life
may every object that meets her
eyes whisper gently of unclouded
joys and unbroken pleasures.
May the happy couple live long,
be happy and prosper throughout
the blessed sojourn of welded
life.
