 From the witnesses who were pres ent and saw the transaction they state mat the Owens boys would have been 1usfihed in killing Johnson at the ume, but they stated they did not want to harm him as they had just got out Of Yuma from being mixed up in one affair and did not want to have any further trouble with any one. In justice to them the article previously published should be contradicted in or ger that they might be put in the ,ignt light before the people.

EsTELLE, TIE FLORENCE WIDOW.
Sad Experience of the A. C. |. with Es.
telle Mcdaniel.

Estelle Mcdaniel, the Florence
widow of Mcdaniel, the railroad hand
who was killed in the Sumter yard a
year or more ago, was one of the vic
tim of the wreck Wednesday, She was
among the number sustaining serious
injuries and is one Of those still un-
der treatment at DR.. Moods in
frmary. When Mcdaniel was killed
Estelle put in a claim for damages
against the railroad and settlement
was effected with her without tie case
getting into the courts, the railroad
paving her $3.50. In the meanwhile a
woman living in this city also set up a
claim to the widowship of Mcdaniel
and demanded damages of the railroad.
The road claimed that settlement had
been made with the legal widow and
refused to consider the claim of the
Sumter widow. She was represented
by Lee & Noise, while the railroad at
torneys defended the claimls of
Estelle. The case was heard in the
Probate court and then in the Court
of Common Pleas, the trial lasting
nearly three days at the recent term.
The verdict was in favor of the Sum-
ter widow and Estelle was declared to
be no widow at all. But as she had
already received $3.50 in full settlement
of all claims against the railroad,
the A. c. L. was the mourner and not
Estelle. After this sad and expensive
experience with Estelle it is rather
tough for the railroad to be so soon
confronted with more trouble on Es-
telle:s account. But Estelle being
injured, and having once had the pri-
vilege of spending railroad money,
will not let slip so good an opportunity
to put in claim for a good big
chunck of damage money to ease her
pains.

he said was about 80 feet in length

him with white handkerchief in his
hand, and I then said he would sign
that train down, let US go on to the
wreck. About this time the smoke
from the engine looked as though it
bad stopped. I said to those who were
with me that the engineer had evident
ly seen the washout. About this time l

frmary where all the wounded were
ouartered. A number of them were
examined but the testimony Of Engl-
neer Wilson was the only statement OF
interest. He stated that he saw Rob-
inson's signals plainly, but having or
ders not to stop at any flag stations he
ran by Cane Savannah Siding where
Robinson was standing without slack
ening the speed of the train. He saw
the washout just before his ecgine
reached it, and he applied the
emergency brakes and then reversed
the engine. When the engine went
down into the wasbout be jumped back
on the tender and when that fell in
and turned up on the end he was
thrown toward to the bottom Of the
hole beside the engine. When ques-
toned why he did not Iced the signals
of Robinson ne said he was simply
obeying orders not to stop for pas
sengers at any flag stations. But
would have stopped instantly if the
same signals had been. made any
where except at a flag station.
The jury adjourned from the in
frmary to the Court House and after
full consideration verdict was reach
ed: That the said j. j. Clements, Joe
Davis, Frank Ross, Minnie Ross and
Ned Weston came to their death in a
railroad accident on the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad two miles east OF
Wedgefeld, the said accident being
the result of washout
The wrecking train and large force
of hands have been hard at work re-
moving the wrecked engine and cars
since about o'clock yesterday, but
at last accounts the track bad not been
cleared and the damage to the en-
bankment repaired. It is possible
that the regular train may begin run
ming through to Columbia tonight,
but regular schedules will probably
not be resumed until tomorrow.
The manner in which the relief Of the
wounded was managed cannot be too
highly praised. The relief train with
physicians was hurried to the wreck,
the wounded requiring immediate at
tention received it, and then all were
placed on the relief train, the dead
in the baggage car, the seriously
wounded in one coach and the other
injured in another. The uninjured
were requested to leave the relief train
and get on the regular train No. 81 to
return to Sumter. AS has been stated
before, they were removed from the
train to DR.. Moods infrmary where
they received every attention that
corps Of seven skillful physicians could
render. All Of the relief work was
carried out under the direction Of Dr.
Van Telberg- Holman the resident
physician of the A. C. L. relief de-
partment.

CONDUCTOR j. J. cLEmM0Ns.
What the Wilmington Paper Says of the
Dead Conductor.

The news of Capt. Clemmons' death
was received with the greatest sorrow
here, where he lived until about three
years ago when he removed with his

ty was perhaps as wide as that of any
conductor in the employ of the
Coast Line. For several years he was
employed in the store Of Mr.. N. B.
Rankin of this city. He was a con-
sistent member of the Baptist church
and was at one time elected a deacon
of First the Church, this city.
Capt. Clemmons married Miss
Giralda Taylor, daughter of the late
Jos. ". Taylor, Of Wilmington, and
she with five children, the Oldest II
years of age, survive him.
Mr.. W j. Clemmons left yesterday
for Florence for the purpose Of accom-
panying the remains of his brother
to Wilmington today for burial
Capt. Ciemmons was charter mem
Der of Clarendon Lodge No. 2, K. of
P, of this city, but had removed his
membership to Harmony Lodge No. s,
of Florence, upon his removal to that
city. He was also q member of the
Endowment Rank, z. of, P, and
carried $1,000 insurance in that order.
All Pythians of the city are requested
to meet at their hall this afternoon
for the purpose of attending the
funeral services in body.
The funeral will be conducted from

train would noS stop for him, and that
it would be useless for him to sign the

and sign it anyhow, told him it
would be no harm to 60 ahead and
sign it. At this time the track was
nearing the whistle post, and when
they gave the road crossing whistle,
which was four blows, he commenced
to sign them in the usual way, with
white handkerchief across the tract on

TRAINS RUNNING TO COLUMBIA.
Track Built Around Wreek---Wounded all
Doing as Well as Possible.
Daily Item, June 5.

Trains are now running through to
Columbia on regular schedule, a tenn
porary track around the wreck hav-
lug been completed late Thursday aft
ernoon. The first train to come
through was the regular passenger
train from Columbia to Charleston
which arrived at III, nearly one
hour late.
The wreck has not been cleared
away and it is said that there are at
least three or four days hard work for
the wrecking crew to remove the
engine and cars that are still in the
hole. The engine is buried up to the
top of the driving wheels in the mud
at the bottom of the twenty foot wash
out. Up to last night the engine had
not been moved from where it
strcuk when it went into the break.
as it is impossible to handle it until
piling can be put down for founda-
tion for the derrick which will be re-
quired to left it out of the hole.
The wounded at DR.. Moods In
frmary are all doing as we'll as could
be expected and all are we'll on the
road to ultimate recovery. One woman
patient was permitted to go to her
home in Marion county yesterday aft
ernoon at her urgent request, although
she was advised to remain here for
treatment several days longer.
Reports from Florence are that

PROGRESSIVE SUMTER.

Although we have been to Sumter
time and again since our return from
the up country, yet we have never had
the chance to ride around and take in
the city until last Thursday Mr.. D. J.
Chandler offered Us seat behind his
s24O trotter. We were perfectly sur
prised at the steady growth and enter
pise of our little mother city. Her
growth has extended in every direction
from the courthouse and her enter
prises are as varied as her growth is
extensive. She commenced years ago
with q cotton factory and her public
spirited business men did not stop
and rest supinely upon their oars, but
today we find Oil Mill, Sash and Door,
Coffin, Furniture, Ice and Telephone
factories. Steam Laundry, Machine
shops and foundry and various other
smaller industries that 60 to make up
a hustling thriving city. The Sash
and Door factory just putup by Mr.. j.
W. McKeiver deserves special mention
as it is an individual enterprise that has
been carried to success under very try
ing circumstances and today it turns
out as nice work and on as short notice
as any of the older fatories in larger
cities. We were particularly pleased
at seeing the old sand roads that we're
once burden to man and beast turned
into excellent drive ways by the simple
application of clay which is obtained
by digging away the sand, bring the
clay to the top and put the sand in the
bottom. On the whole, we we're
pleased to note on all sides the pros
