ExcURSIONiSTS
MEET DEATH.
NEGRO EXCURSION TRAIN
COMPLETELY WRECKED.
Two White Men and MANY
Negroes Killed, and
Badly Wounded.

Disastrous beyond description
and more horrible than the
dreams of the raving maniac who
imagines that hell in all its fury
has broke loose and that count
less imps with flaming eyes and
with fire streaming from their
nostrils are chasing him from post
to pillar, was the wreck of the
excursion train on the Southern
railway near Berry, Ala, last
Monday. The train left Green
vile at an early hour Monday
morning, having on board 4 large
party of negroes bound for Bir-
mingham. At every station
along the line the crowd was aug
mented by fresh recruits, and
when the train reached this city
about 7 80 o'clock the ten coach
es of which it consisted were
pretty we'll filled, and after the
Columbus contingent got aboard
they were taxed to their utmost
capacity.
The train was in charge Of Con-
ductor A. NJ. Vebber and Engi-
neer j. W. Crook. Trainmaster
H. M. Dudley was also on board.
On account of having to wait at
various stations for the large
crowds to get aboard, a great
deal OF time was lost, and when
the train reached Columbus it
was behind schedule time. The
excursiOnists were all anxious to
get tie Birmingham on time, and
the train was, so it is said, being
run at an exceedingly high rate
of speed. All went we'll until the
train approached the curve about
a mile east of Berry. Ala, where
the track runs along an embank-
ment some sixty feet in height. |
When the train reached this point
it was going at a high rate of
speed, and suddenly and almost
without warning, the first six
coaches left the track, falling pell
NELL down the embankment and
scattering death and destruction
in their wake.
The scene which followed beg
gars description. There were
dead negroes, dying negroes and |
crippled negroes everywhere. It.
was a negro excursion, and those
who were killed or injured were
negroes; the only white people
suffering from the casualty being
Trainmaster Dudley, who was
killed outright, Engineer Crook,
who received injuries from which |
he soon died, and Mrs. Clara Cox,
of this city, who was slightly |
bruised about back and should
ers.
Those who were either killed |
or injured in the wreck were as
follows:
THE DEAD.

II. NJ. Dudley, trainmaster, Southern
railway, Birmingham, Ala.

One unknown woman.
Mrs. Marie Cox, white, injured and back
sprained.
Most of the negroes who were
killed and injured were from this
city, and nearly all of them were
on the two front coaches when
the wreck occurred. When the
coaches fell many of the negroes
fell beneath them and were held
prisoners for hours, some of the
negroes who were not instantly
killed dying before aid could
reach them.
When the news of the wreck
reached this city it filled with ter
ror the hearts of many people.
Not only the humble negro in his
cabin was aroused |
and alarmed, but the merchant in |
his counting room and the lady of |
fashion just awakened from her
nap were alike affected. |
For nearly an hour after the
first news of the wreck had been
received no news could be OBJ
tanned, and mothers and fathers
who had children on the i'll fated /
train were made frantic by the fear
that their loved ones were among
those who had perished. A |
train left this city about
ten O'Clock, and many of those
who had relatives on the i'll fated
excursion train went with it.
A wrecker was also sent out
from Birmingham, and under the
of General Manager j.
E. Dodson and Superintendent
c. S. Hayden, of the Southern
railway, the work of clearing
away the wreck was begun. 1t
was, however, tedious task, and
-he sun had long since sunk be-
hind the hills which surround
he Alabama village before the
of the injured had been
dressed and the bodies of the un-
ones who were destined
never to see another sun sink be-
ow the horizon were recovered.
West bound passenger train
No. 35, due to pass Columbus at
} 80 p. M, reached Berry long
before the wreck was cleared
away, and it was not until few
minutes after nine O'Clock that
he train reached here, having on
BOARD the bodies of twelve CO.
umbus negroes who had been
killed outright, and a score of
'thers who were injured in the
wreck.

The Fruit Growers Union.

The next meeting OF the Yakima
County Horticultural Union, will be
held next Saturday in the city hall at |
p. m, sharp. The union now numbers
over 70 members and each meeting adds
to the list some fruit grower who is de-
sirous of acquiring the advantages to be
gained in such an association.
The result OF the shipping thus far
has been very satisfactory. All fruit
has been handled by the manager j. NJ.
Perry and he has succeeded in secur-
ing better prices for fruit than have
ever before been received by the grower.

Excursion to ElkS' Carnival.

Arrangements for an excursion train
to Seattle during the Elks' carnival
have been completed. The train will
leave here on the morning of the Goth
inst, and the tickets will be good on any
train returning up to and including
Sunday night of that week, which gives
the people five days in Seattle. The
round trip will cost $3.50, and it is
expected that at least 1000 people will
take advantage OF the opportunity to
visit the "Queen City Of the Coast" and
get taste of Seattle spirit.

ing the sheet from the corpse, knelt
down by its side, and weeping bitter
tears, pressed the icy lips to his own,
and giving the body farewell clasp,
got up and walked away. He was in
terrogated by the men in the store, but
has been able to find out thing about
him. 1t is thought that he must be a
brother to the dead man. He is said to
resemble him in physique and features.
William Dickson of this city, after
seeing the corpse yesterday morning, is
almost positive that it is the body of a
man he knew by sight in Juneau, Alaska.
He said the features were almost iden-
teal, and that the man he knew was
also cigar maker. ''On one occasion"
Mr.. Dickson said, "this man ran out of
his boarding house during snow storm
without rag on his body. He ran
down the street four blocks before he
was captured. He was considered to be
of unsound mind, and his friends were
in constant anxiety for his safety"
LATER.-The strange man who acted
so mysteriously over the body of the
suicide this morning and went away
without word, soon reappeared at the
morgue attired in a linen duster and
wearing new hat. When he asked to
see the corpe again. he was told that he
had just seen it short time before, but
this the man strenuously denied and
walked away. The authorities have
him under surveillance now, and from
the contradictory stories he tells it is
evident that the man is crazy. A man
on Monday afternoon attempted to draw
a gun on bartender in Dooley's saloon.
1t is now thought this mysterious char
acter is the same man. Some people
think that the dead man is brother of
the one who has been acting and talking
so strangely.

and Feel That They Were
Well Treated.

Company &C" returned Thursday
morning from a ten days outing at
Camp Weisenberger, near American
Lake. Well tanned faces and hands
showed plainly that the boys had seen

with the showing made by the Company

A STRANGER APPEARS.

About II O'Clock Tuesday morning an
unknown man walked into jackson s
barber shop and asked the whereabouts
of the man who had killed himself the
evening before. Mr.. Jackson took him
over to the morgue, and he was shown
the dead body. The clerk of the
Yakima Furniture company, who had
gone back into the morgue with him,
was then requested TO leave the room
The actions OF the man were at once
suspicious, and the clerk refused to
leave the room. The man then remov-
