a SAD OUTING.
Two Men Drowned in the Presence
OF Their Families.

There was sad ending to family
outing at Rosstan, Pa, on Thursda,
morning by the accidental drowning O
Andrew IIileman, aged 55 and Kirk
Bailey, aged IS years. Dwight Bailey
father of Kirk, was severely injured
and may die.
The Bailey and IIilcman families,
about 16 in all, left their homes in
Rosston and went to the banks OF
Crooked Run, ashort distance away,
about i o'clock Thursday morning.
They had a fishing net with them
and began to fish for minnows with
great success. The net, after being
taken out several times and cast back,
finally became entangied in snag.
The water at this point is about lC
feet deep. the location being familiarly
known as sink hole" After vainly
endayoring to release the net young
Kirk Hailey swan out to see what the
trouble was. AS be approached the
net he was suddenly perceived to be-
come white and then called for help,
saying that his feet had become en-
tangled in the net. His struggles
were terrible and Andrew Hilaman,
seeing that the boy could not continue
his struggle much longer started to his
rescue. AS Hileman was approaching
the trapped man he, too, was seen to
throw up his hands and make deS-
perate struggles to go forward. The
fatal net had also wrapped around his
feet and he vas caught in the same
plight as the boy, Dwight Bailey,
father of the struggling boy now, jump
ed into the water and started to re-
lease the imprisoned men. When he
neared the net he was caught as his
son and Mr.. Hileman had been and he
yelled to the crowd on the bank that
he was caught In the net and could
do nothing more. Finally a. B.
Bailey, brother Of Dwight, who had
been called to the scene, Saw at a
glance tfe direction in which the net
had been dragged. Keeping above
the net, he succeeded in rescuing his
brother and getting him to the shore
in an unconscious condition from
which he had not ralliedat 9 p. NJ. He
will probably die. At the instant-the
elder Bailey Was released from the net
the son sank for the last time and Mr..
Hilemap, seeming to make final ef-
fort to help the young man, also
drowned. During all the time the
men were struggling in the water their
wives and families were on the bank
in agonized helplessness. Rileman
and Bailey are well known and quite
wealthy. All connected with the
accident are prominent and Of the
oldest families in Armstrong coutny.

Boaconstrictor Out.

The people in and about Rocky
Mount, n. c., are much exercised
over the escape from the train at that
place of a huge boaconstrictor which
was being taken North by one Of the
midway shows of the recent Charles
ton Exposition. The snake seemed to
tire Of his confinement and escaped
from the cage in which it had been
shut up. AS soon as it got out Of the
box it made for the woods and all ef-
forts to recapture it have proven vain.
The escape is a serious loss to the
show, while the people do not take
kindly to the idea Of having the big
snake about the vicinity. The coun-
try about Rocky Mount affords the
smoke excellent hiding and feeding
grounds and it will hardly trouble the
residents Of the town, unless they
hunt and attack it.

NEARLY WIPED OUT.
An Alabama Town Destroyed by the
Fire Fiend.

In one of the most disastrous confia-
gratlons that ever visited Alabama,
Alexander City, place of 1900 peo-
pie, was wiped away Friday by fire,
the estimated loss reaching s750,000,
which the insurance will not begin to
cover. The town was not supplied
with Waterworks and all the terror
stricken people could do was to save
what little they could and then, al
most PROSTATE, flee from the fire.
Help was telegraphed for, but it ar
rived only to find the city mass of
ashes, smouldering in dust. The tele-
graph office was destroyed and all tele-
phone communication with the town
has been impaired making it imposSi-
bic to learn full details Of the fire.
II Is learned that only provisions
can be supplied to the homeless until
Monday. The FIRE broke out at Alex
ander City machine shops at o'clock
Friday afternoon. The long period
Of hot, dry weather had well prepared
the buildings Of the little city for the
rapid spread Of the flames. a stiff
wind was blowing with fierce rapidity
the fire spread from building to build
ing until the entire town was seeth-
ing mass of flames. Every business
house, three banks, two hotels, two
livery stables and nine dwellings are
totally destroyed. Not more than
two or three Thousand dollars worth
of goods were saved in the Central of
Georgia depot, while three or four
cars of freight were totally destroyed.
The Methodist church, court house
and postoflce went up like tinder
boxes. No people were killed.
The railroad has established it's tele-
praph lines under tree and appeals
for help and for food. All OF the
banks were burned and the damage
to them and to others from the loss of
valuable papers will run into the
thousands Of dollars. The tracks Of
the Central of Georgia are so badly
warped that the passenger trains east
and west will have to transfer.

feared that there may be other deaths.
The storm reached Bloomington
about II p. M, commencing with a
furious electrical display. Rain accom-
panied the wind, and the business dis
trict suffered severely. Many plate
glass windows were blown in and the
stocks of goods were badly damaged.

addicted to the use Of drugs. When
the fire broke out, there was on the
fifth floor a number of patients suffer
ing from delirium tremens and some

them so rapidly did the fire spread
through the building.

Because One Of the Engineers Over
looked His Orders.
AND FIVE PEOPLE Is KILLED.
The Passengers Saw the Trains APP
preaching, but Thought they
Were on Seperate Tracks
Until the Crash.

A fatal collision occurred on the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
railroad Thursday afternoon between
Hooker and Summit, TWO small sta
tions about II miles from Chatta-
nooga. Tenn. Five men were killed

A. W. Clark, mail clerk.
Engineer George Ray.
Train No. SO, known as the Jasper
accommodation train, left Chatta-
nooga about 2.40 O'Clock Thursday at
ternoon. 1t was due at Summit at
3.0S. The other train, fast mail No.
l from Nashville, was behind time
and the meeting point Of these trains
had been changed from the regular
station to Summit. One Of the engi-
neers it is said overlooked his orders
and ran past the designated meeting
place. Fireman L. a. Rankin was
horribly mangled and died almost In
Stantly. Engineer Rollins. was badly

death. A handful of cinders and
charred flesh was all that could be
found of him.
Express Messenger Webb Of the fast
mail train was caught under the de-
bris and died shortly after having been
removed to a place Of safety.
The story Of the wreck as told by
the passengers is thrilling one of be-
ing placed in a position to see the ap-
preaching disaster. On account Of
the position of the track, there being.
double reverse curve at the place of
the wreck, the passengers were able
to see from the side Of the cars the ap-
preaching accommodation train. They
thought it merely a passing, Of regular
trains and did not heed the warning
until the crsh came and it was too
late to help themselves.
The accommoda train being the
lighter one, was telescoped, the heavy
engine Of the fast train ploughing its
way through the cars and spintering
them into kinding wood. Both en-
gines had their positions reversed and
were thrown 40 yards from the track.
None Of the passengers were seri-
ouSly injured.
