NARROW ESCAPE OF
PASSENGER TRAIN
SALUDA RIVER COVERS ) UTHERN
RAILWAY TRACK.
Trestle LOosened Under WaterEng'ne' !:
Attempted 10 Bring Train Across, But
Stnpp I'd just n THE. Damage Now
Repaired.
Especial to The State.

Ninety Six, Feb. 3.-Travel on the
Columbia and Greenville road has
been interrupted today on account of
high water on Saluda river between
Dyson's and Chappels, the rains OF
Saturday night being very heavy in
this section and Saluds river has been
higher than for several years. The rail
road bridge over Saluda is free from
water but the track for several hun
dred yards just east of the river is sub
merged to a depth of six inches to
two feet. The passenger train from
Greenville last night was unable to
cross and was sent back by way of
Greenville and Spartanburg, reach
ing Columbia about 10 o'clock this
morning. The early train from 90
lumbia crossed safely this morning
though the track was covered with
water. The water ran into the fire
box and extinguished the fire but the
engine had on sufficient steam to
bring the train through to dry land
where the fires we're kindled and the
train proceeded.
This mornings train from Green
Vile for Columbia was not so fortu
nate, it reached the submerged track
about o'clock this afternoon. En-
gineer Nicely proceeded with his en-.
CINE and train some distance on to
the water covered track; when he de-
cided that things did not look ex
actly right and backed out. A lever
car belonging to the section crew was
then broush hit into use and an inspec
tion party sent into the water 1t
was found that small trestle about
90 feet in length had partly dislodged
and WAS half floating in the water
The water came up over the floor Of
lever car as it reached the trestle.
But for Engineer Nicely's caution
the train would have been wrecked.
After the train passed over this
morning the trestle evidently became
dislodged. The train was then backed
to Ninety Six and has been waiting
here ever since. The officials think
the quickest way for the train to reach
Columbia would be to wait here till
the water subsidies rather than 60
around by Greenville and Spartan
burg. The passenger train which
left Columbia at II o'clock has been
standing ali day at Chappells, just
east of the river. Finally, about 7
o'clock this evening, it was thought
safe for trains to travel the floating
trestle having been secured and the
train from Chappells proceeded on
here crossing the submerged track in
safety. At 7.45 p. m. the train from
Greenville proceeded towards Colum

IN THE SENATE.
Columbia, Feb. 3 The senate did
not hold a morning session today
but resumed it's work last night.
There was an unusually large at
tendance for Monday night follow
ing an adjournment from Saturday.
The senate got down to plain every
day calendar work, and had lively
debate over the anti rowing chicken
measure, fually passing it, after
domesticating the various fowls
enumerated in the house bill. The
senate also passed the bill to require
yestibules to be used on street cars.
Mr.. Herndon's bill to require the
public printing OF counties to be let
to the lowest bidder was passed to a
third reading without opposition.
Nh. Kibler's bill to make turkeys,
geese, ducks and guineas subject to
the stock law was reported favorable
with a committee amendment strlk-
ing out the names OF particular birds
and placing them all under the gen
eral designation of domestic fowls"
which would also include chickens.
Senator Caughman moved to strike
out the enactlng words and demand
ed the ayes and noes, the result be
ing the adoption of the bill by vote
of IA to II.
The senate then adjourned.

DARK AND TERRIFYING.

DARK AND TERRIFYING.
When the west bound train reached
Ninety Six the east bound train was
given permission to proceed with
caution toward Columbia.
An empty car was placed in front
of the engine as was done with the
west bound train, and the train
started. The night was cloudless
one, but there was no moon and there
were but few stars shining. The box
car in front of the engine shut of
the lays of the headlight. The train
slowly made its way through the
darkness, and when the submerged
track was reached the engineer liter
ally felt his way. The track was
covered with water for probably more
than three miles in all, at places not
more than two or three inches IN
depth, aud at others the water would
touch the lower steps Of the pas
senger coaches. The train was more
than au hour passing through the
dangerous part of the swamps, the
speed for the most part being liter
ally that of "a snairs pace" Most
of the passengers stood on the plat
forms of the coaches, expecting
every moment to see the box car 60
crashing into some sunken trestle or
washout piece Of track, but finally
terra frma was reached and all were
assured by the lively increased speed
that the danger had been passed.
The train proceeded on its way and
the remainder of the trip into Co.
lumbia was made without accident or
incident.
Tbs river was falling last night
and it was thought that by today
trains could pass without delay.

after making an examination gave as
bis opinion that the bridge was not
badly damaged aud could be easily
righted by weighing it. The west
bound train, which had been held up
at Chappells, picked up an empty
freight car and, placing it in front OF
the engine, proceeded slowly in that
manner. Sure enough the weight of
the empty box car forced the floating
trestle back into position and the en-
CINE and passenger cars passed over
in safety.

A. NJ. OReilly, proprietor of the Los

The filth and dirt that was piled up

Marshal McMillin went around this
morning and arrested the public health

There are several other places in
