CIRCUS TRAINS COLLIDE
WITH LOSS OF LIFE.
WERE KILLED, MORE
THAN TWENTY INJURED.
Air Brakes Of Second Section Refused to
Work-An Anderson Man Among
Those Injured.

Dnrand, Mich, Aug. 7-Twenty-
three persons were killed in COL
lision early today in the Grand Trunk
yards between two sections of Wal
lace Brothers circus train. Seven
of the dead arc in the morgue un-
identified. About 20 were moro or
less seriously injured Coroner Far
rer this afternoon impanelled Il jury
whice viewed the remains and ad-
journed until August ID, when the
inquest will Ee held.
j. j. Meadows Of Anderson, S. G.,
was among the injured.
BRAKES REFUSED TO WORK.
The CIRCUS travels in two trains Of
about 35 cars each. After last nights
exhibition at Charlotte, the two
traits left for Lapeer, over the Grand
Trunk road, the second section leav-
ing half hour after the first. 1t
was 3.4o o'clock when the first sec
ton pulled into the west end of the
Grand Trunk yards here. A red
light was hung on tho rear car to
stop the second section. Engineer
Probst Of Battle Creek, who was run
ming the engine of the rear train,
says he saw this light and applied
the airbrake. He says it refused to
work. He reversed his engine, but
the momentum Of the heavy train be-
hind was too great and with crash
that aroused all of the town near the
yards, the two trains met. Three
cars Of tho stationary first section
we're telescoped and the engine and
five cars of the moving train were
| demolished.
WHERE LIVES WE'RE LOST.
| The repr car of the first section
WAS caboose in which the trainmen
we're sleeping and the next two we're
filled with sleeping circus employees.
| The greatest loss Of life WAS :. the
caboose. One of the wrecked cars
Of the second section WAS occupied
| by five elephants and several camels.
| One Of the oamels and two of the
elephants were killed outright, while
the other animals and their trainer
escaped. With the exception of this
car, none Of the menagerie was
wrecked, the other demolished cars
containing canvas or wagons and
there was comparatively little excite
ment among the wild animals As
soon as they recovered from the first
shock, the trainers rushed among the
cages quieting the few beasts that
we're excited. The elephants IN the
wrecked car behaved with surprising
calmness and we're led ont of the
wreck without trouble.

WHIPPING A WHITE WOMAN.
Horrible Outrage at Georgia Pcnltentiary
Farm-Public Indignation
Is Aroused.

in the throes Of calorio discussion
over the fight in the Legislature now
in session to abolish the convict lease
system-a fight that precipitated the
the charge of lobbying and is produc.
ing daily sensations Georgia is thrill
ing with indignation over lashing
given to Miss Mamie Deohrist, an
unfortunate but cultured young
woman at the State penitentiary farm,
where she disobeyed the wife of the
man in charge and was guilty of i'm
pertinence.
Known as the Diamond Queen"
formerly of Savannah, Georgia, her
whole behavior since the commission
of the crime has been such as to
cause many persons to believe that
she is not of sound mind, and, hold.
ing this belief, the indignation of the
general public over the mere whip
ping Of woman is trebled in Savan-
nah and where she was known, into
nothing short of horror.
Still another feature which stirs
the situation mere deeply is the state
ment issued by Capt Foster, who is
in charge of the working of the con-
vlcts in the fields, that his resignation
is on the way to the chairman of the
State prison commission, as he had
learned that, following his open state
ment that he believed the present
convict lease system should be wiped
out, coupled with his refusal to work
Miss Mamie Dechrist in the fields
the day before she WAS whipped, be-
cause she was in no condition for
such work, led to the Offering of his
place to Capt. Dennis, of Putnam
County.
MISS DECHRIsT LAsHED.
When Capt. Foster refused to work
Miss Deohrist in the field, asserting
that she was in no condition, he sent
her back to the house, which depart
ment is under the supervision of
Capt. Allgood, with his wife as matron.
What occurred there is not known in
detail. No one here will discuss it.
But it is known that she was whip
ped and the matter kept profound
secret. The authorities here of the
State prison commission denied all
knowledge of the affair and Capt
Allgood refused to tell or to allow
anyone to see Miss Dechrist, stating
she objected.
The lashing was given in the pres
ence of DR.. Adams, the farm physi-
oian, who was there to see that she
was whipped no longer or more
harshly than she could stand. A
thin garment covered her back, but
did not protect her from the cruel
blows. 1t must be left for the public
to draw it's own inferences- es-whether
Miss Dechrlst did not wish to see
visitors, whether she was prevented
from seeing them, or whether her
condition was such as to render her
physically unable to see any one.
