HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Man and His Whole Family Go
Down to the Bottom.

The following, which was sent out
from Vicksburg yesterday is one OF
the most heart-rending scenes that has
occurred in this state in many years.
The unfortunate family which
went. Gagged up, to the bottom OF the
Mississippi lived in Newton county
near Garlandsville, if we mistake not,
and the father wass a hard working
man. as nearly all the people of that
county are:
T. III. Land of Newton, Miss, and
all his family of six, fioated about
dead enclosed in box car, which
broke loose from the switch engine on
the vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
incline tonight, shortly after .
o'clock. and ran down the incline,
over the transfer boat Delta, and into
the Mississippi river.
The accident is without parallel
IN this section, and brave-hearted
railroad men are now standing almost
trans6xed with CONSERVATION at the
very awfulness of the situation.
The last heard of Land was his
shrieks for assistance, which twenty
men. standing helplessly by. could
not give him. Acting Superlntend-
emit Dabney, who was in the place OF
Superintendent Ford, at the head OF
force of willing workers for hours was
andeavoring to remove the bodies
from the car as it fioated around the
river. sometimes showing itself half
way above the surface of the water,
and then going under. being drawn to
the surface again by the ropes the
railroad men succeeded IN getting
around it. He did not succeed until
10 o'clock tonight.
T. III. Land is supposed to be poor
farmer from Newton county, who Is
thought to have had his family III the
amigrant car with him when he was
plunged to death.

ernor. Democrat, will come up for
reelection. Gov. Garyin was elected
last year by a small majority. AT the
same election the Republicans lost a
Republican, which was quite excep-
tional, the last time Democrat was
sent to the house from that state being
in 1900.
Mississippi will elect a governor
and Legislature this autumn. The
chief interest in that election is as to
the personality of the next senator,
the fight being between senator Money
the mount bent, and Gov. Longino.
Louisiana elects a governor this
year, but the election is Of little in
terest outside Of that state. Massa.
chusetts, which, like Rhode Island
chooses . governor for one year only
will have its usual contest. II is be.
lieved that Gov. Bates will have nc
difficulty in exceeding his first ma
jority for governor.
Vermont will also choose gov
ernor, but the election being so one
sided is uninteresting except to Yer

OTHER LATE RAILROAD NEWS

The freight and passenger trains are
now running over the Tennessee river
bridge regularly and all derrick boats
and pile drivers are being removed
from the scene. The amount Of bust
ness in freight traffic being done now
is enormous, the |. @. putting forth
every possible effort to catch mp in the
freight loss.
Over fourteen freight trains left
here last night aud nearly that many
came in. All available engines are
being used in handling the aocumu'
lated business and the rush is so great
that all additional help possible to Sc
cure is being employed.
The new span built temporarily is
perhaps as strong as new steel
bridge, but it is rumored that . new
bridge will be built to replace the
present one.
The damage to the railroad com
psny hes been greater in the loss OF
the span and the time and labor than
in loss of freight patronage. All
freight for the south was sent around
via Evansville and all east was taken
via Carbondale. Comparatively little
freight business was lost, but much
time was consumed in taking it around
and in the extra crew service.
