Daily Item, June 4.

The list of dead from the wreck
yesterday has not been increased by
the discovery of other bodies in the
debris at the wreck nor have any more
of the injured succumbed to their
wounds. The work Of repairing the
track and removing the wrecked engine
and cars has not been completed, but
the wreckage has been explored tho
roughly and if there were other bodies
they would have been discovered be-
fore this time.
But five of the victims Of the acci-
dent remain at Dr. Moods in6rmary,
all the others having been thoroughly
examined and having had their wounds
dressed were sent to their homes in
special cars attached to the regular
train to Florence. Among this number
was Engineer George Wilson, whose
injuries were found to be less grave
than thought on first examination at
the scene of the wreck. Samuel White
the porter on the wrecked train also
went to his home in Florence, although
suffering from a broken collar bone
and several bruises. Remaining at
the in6rmary are Joseph Monroe
Davis, boy aged IL, suffering from
confused wounds of head and back.
His father and mother we're both kill
ed in the accident and it was stated to
the writer by one Of the survivors that
Davis left eight small children at
home
Henderson Bethea, man aged 68,
wounds of head and legs.
,~ol
of shoulder and legs.
Estelle Mcdaniel, aged 25, con-
tusions of chest and hip.
Aleck Cain, hematoma on check and
sprained ankle.
DR.. Van Telberg- Holman, the A.
e. L. physician states that all of
these bid fair to recover rapidly and
will be able to go to their homes with
in few days. They will be kept here,
however, and given every attention
possible for so long as they need the at
tention of a surgeon. The bodies Of
Conductor Clements and of the four ne
groes who lost their lives were taken
to Craig's undertaking establishment
and prepared for burial. Conductor
Clements body was sent to Florence,
MS ldtG uOue, Ou Gue evening Gralu.
The bodies of the negroes were for
warded or the same train to their late
homes in Marion county.
The formal inquest was held yester-
day afternoon and last night by
Coroner Flowers. He summoned a
jury Immediately after receiving
notification of the accident and pro-
ceeded to the wreck in the afternoon.
The jury was organized with Mr..
George ". Reardon as foreman, and the
examination of witnesses who we're
still on the ground was held. The only
really important witness who testified
here was Aleck Robinson, the negro
who discovered the washout and made
futile efforts to flag the excursion
train. His testimony under oath did
not vary materially to the statements
he had previously made for publica-
tion.
Returning to this city the jury was
conducted to DR.. j. A. Moods in

MIR. Spain Kelly Denies the Statement
From the Florence Times.
To the Editor Daily Item, Sumter

To the Editor Daily Item, Sumter,
S. @.
Dear sir: I desire to say in reference
to the article you published in recent
issue of your paper as being copied
from the Florence Times, to the
effect that I had made threats against
two young persons in the neighborhood
Of Florence, that such a rumor was
wholly without foundation in fact. l
have never made any such threats as
stated, and have never had any i'll will
towards either of tile young people
alluded to. Yours Respectfully.

Pisgah Has Good Rains.

Pisgah, June 4.-This section had
fine rains Monday and Tuesday nights.
Crops are responding to the warm
weather, especially tobacco. The de-
struction of the crops at Dalzell is a
sight to be seen. The felcs look like
woods that have been burnt over by a
fierce fire. The rain was heavy, wash
ing the land. I think where the cot
ton stalks are large enough there is a
prospect for it to bud out and make q
crop. A few days will decide it.

Good for Panama Canal.

Washington, June "A cablegram
received at the State department. today
from United States Minister Bearpre'
at Bogota, dated June l, reads:
A decree issued today declares pub
lie order restored throughout the na-
tion.''
This announcement is believed to
have an important bearing upon the
pending canal treaty, for it is suppos-
ed to indicate the suspension of mar
tial law and the removal Of the con-
stitutional objections to the assem-
bling of the Colombian Congress IN
der other han peace conditions. The
officials feel that this would not be
done were not the Colombian officials
reasonably confident OF their ability
to carry through Congress their pro-
gramme relative to the canal treaty.

Enornous Physical Force Expended
In These Fierce cOmbata.
In the pitched battles which some
times take place between the great
earnivora and the largest and most
powerful or the OK tribe the forces Of
animal courage. desperation and bodily
strength must be exhibited on a scale
never elsewhere seen, says a writer In
Leslle's Weekly. Such combats do oc-
cur. but have seldom been witnessed
and stlll less frequently described. Two
or three lions sometimes combine In
such an attack. but from the marks
seen on buffalo II Ia probable that
sometimes there Is a single combat, for
II can hardly be supposed that the buf-
falo could escape from more than one
lion.
The number OF foot pounds OF energy
put into such a struggle must be some
thing extraordinary. The efforts OF .
hon, which can strike a mans arm
from the shoulder and leave II hang
ing By 4 strip Of skin or which can
carry a COW over a high stoekade, en-
deavoTing unsuccessfully In close grips
to drag down or disable a bunalo bull,
must be on a gigantic scale, and the
strength which can shake him on and,
Il is believed. occasionally crush tho
ION afterward must be even more
amazing. A buffalo bull has been cred
ited with engaging three lions In NOR
tal combat and making a good fight
before he was disabled by one OF the
Hons hamstrinEing him by biting his
legs from behind.

Mr.. HANNA AND THE PRESIDENT -
The recent interview between the Presi-
dent and Senator NJ. A. Hanna regard
ing the probability Of Mr.. Hanna be-
coming candidate for the presidential
nomination next year seems to have
been more interesting and comprehensive
than was disclosed in the brief notices
given it by the newspapers at the time.
Mr.. Hanna, having been asked bluntly
by the President whether he intended
becoming candidate, did not content
himself with a simple disclaimer, bat
proceeded frankly to make suggestions to
the President with reference to Mr..
Roosevelts future. Having suggested
to the President that the only person
who could defeat Mr.. Roosevelt was
Mr.. Roosevelt himself, Mr.. Hanna, it is
said, told the President that the great
financial interests of the country did not
repose entire confidence in the admin
isiration's course and policy, and that if
their confidence should be further shaken,
and that if during the next year they
we're not satisfied that the distrust was
not unwarranted the situation might be
difficulty for the President to handle.
Mr.. Hanna was, as usual, adroit in his
answers and suggestions. The fact that
he disavowed any intention to become q
candidate does not seem to have changed
Tho e;tuation at all. The President aim
ed by candor to learn Mr.. Hanna's in
tentions. but he was apparently not sue
cessful. As far as Mr.. Hanna is con-
cerned the situation is lei just where it
was prior to this interview. By sngges
ton that Mr.. Roosevelt might hurt him
self it can be gathered that Mr.. Hanna
probably was contemplating the possibil-
lty of the elimination of Mr.. Roosevelt
from the race so that the whole aspect of
the situation would then be one not now
generally anticipated.
