MANY DROWNED IN CHOWAN RIVER
Passenger Steamer Olive Wrecked by a
Cyclone and Eighteen
Lives Lost.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 17-A cyclone
struck the passenger steamer Olive
which lies between Franklin, Va,
and Edenton, N. g.. at 9:3O o'clock
last night and sent her to the bot
tom Of the river off Wooley's Pier,
between Mount Pleasant and Oliver's
wharf.
The whirlwind when it struck the
Olive caused her to go over on her
beams end and when she righted it
was only to sink Oh account Of the
water she had taken. A majority of
the passengeas and crew we're below
at the time and had no opportunity
to reach the pilot house Of the vessel.
This point was the only portion left
above water and in it standing waist

until 6 o'clock in the morning Capt.
George H. Witty and five others

NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR MONEY.
Why the Palm Limited Ran Back for Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Party.

Columbia, S. g. "A great deal
Of comment has been made in the
newspapers over the fact that 30 i'm
portant train as the Southern Palm
Limited should ave been turned
back twenty Two miles in order to
take aboard Mrs Cornelius Wander
bilt and party of friends. They
we're at the station ready to take the
train at Pineland, but it went on,
being finally stopped at Hardeevllle
and brought back for the party.
The circumstances has been tele.
graphed all over the country and the
impression seems to have gotten out
that the Southern turned it's train
back simply because these people
arc millionalres and persons of in.
fluence. This is not the case, az has
been learned here. 1t seems that
Pineland has been ''bulletined," as
they say in railroad circles, as a flag
station to atop this train. The on.
gineer had overlooked that fact, it
being ono Of no great importance in
view Of the lac! that Pinelnnd is
side track ont in the woods.
However, being such stati N,
passengers had perfect right to
board tho train at that place. When
the Palm Limited hove in sigh! it
was tagged, bnt the engineer, not
having noticed that it had beer mrde

tempt WAS made to stop the train at
the next station, known as TilIman,
| but the operator for some reGn"n
failed to do 30
When the train got to Hardeeville
the club car was detached and VAS
run back for the party. 1t wes
stated by ono familiar with railr ad
rules and laws that this had to be
done or the company would have

further statol that if Il negro had le.
sired to go on the tram under siini-
lar circumstances that it would have
been necessary to go back for him if
a suit of damages was to be avoided.
The railroad, therefore, holds that it
did not send back tho train because
the Would-bn passengers were mil
lionairea, but that it was done for the
protection Of the rond.
| As people oil over the country
have been wondering at the cause Of
the tram going back, these facts are
, stated IA matters of interest.
