Eight Killed In Collision.

Birmingham, May GA disas-
trous head-end collision on the
Southern Railway early this morn.
ing near Bryan, 2S miles west OF
Birmingham, resulted in the death
of three engineers, four firemen and
one brakeman, the destruction by
fire of twelve loaded freight cars and
eight empty cars and great damage
to the colliding engines.
All were instantly killed except
Engineers Acton and Johnson. They
were brought to Birmingham, Acton
dying on the way and Johnson dying
at the hospital this afternoon.
An extra freight train pulled by
two engines was coming east and
had just passed Bryan station when
freight train No. rs suddenly loomed
up in the darkness and an awful
crash followed. The cars piled upon
the engines and in few minutes; the
wreckage was in blaze. The dead
bodies were burned to crisp.
Exactly what caused the wreck is
unknown, but it is intimated that
some operator on the line was asleep
and failed to deliver his orders.

Rains Big Hail Stones and Fish.

Winston Salem, N. c., May 90
That portion of this county lying six
miles west of this city was visited
yesterday afternoon about 5 O'Clock
by one of the most remarkable and
destructive hail storms within the
memory of the oldest inhabitants.
1t is doubtful if this storm was ever
equalled in this or any other section
for size of the hailstones and in the
phenomena that small fish, perch
variety, fell with the hail and some
were incased in the stones. Buckets
full of hailstones were brought into
the city this morning and some of
them, after lying in the sun that fol-
lowed in the afternoon and all night,
six and one-half inches in
circumference and weighed eight
ounces each.
The roofs of several houses were
totally wrecked, while others had
holes beaten in them through which
a boy could crawl. Cattle were
badly bruised, several pigs were
killed and fowls, both young and old,
were crushed window glass and
shutters were destroyed, the growing
grain was beaten into the ground and
ruined and several people were in
jured
The storm covered an area of a
mile or more in width and lasted for
twenty minutes, followed by rain.

IalIaa ynsOuad Fish causos Lepl0sy.

Jonathan Hutchinson, the we'll
known surgeon and former president
of the Royal college of surgery, who,
recently returned to London from a
tour of investigation in India as to
the cause and prevention of leprosy,
has written a letter to The Times on
the subject of fish eating. as the cause
of leprosy. He gives the opinion
that the Catholic fast days are re-
sponsible for the spread of leprosy
and that wherever there is risk of
obtaining unsound fish, the use of
fish on fast days ought to be forbid
den. "Wherever Catholic missions
are successful" says DR.. Hutchinson,
s'leprosy increases. My calculation
is that the risk to Catholic convert
is 20-fold that of one who remains in
the Hindoo faith" DIR. Hutchinson
says the Indian, who is a vegetarian,
almost absolutely escapes from lep-
rosy, while the Catholic suffers fear
fully, and he expresses the opinion
that this is a poof that the disease
is non n-contagious. In conclusion,
among several suggested preventa-
tives, he strongly urges the abolition
of the salt tax in India in order that
the Hindoo may make the fish eat

GRANDMOTHER shifted and said if they

ligion snd wished to join the church,
they'd wait until the forty-frst year

that he should be baptized at once.

Negroes Held In Servitude.

Washington, May 28.-At the re-
quest of the department of justice,
the United States secret service has
undertaken the work Of investigat-
ing the charge OF peonage, or hold
ing another in servitude to work out
debt, which has been made against
persons living in the vicinity of
Montgomery, Ala. The punishment
provided by the statute for this
crime is a fine of not less than $1,000
nor more than $4,000, or imprison-
ment of not less than one year nor
more than five. One man, named
Robert N. Franklin, has already
been indicted for keeping a negro
in servitude for at least year.
Information in the hands of chief
Wilkie tends to show that regular
system has been practiced for long
time between certain magistrates
and persons who want negro labor
ers. 1t is said that the plan is to
bring the negro before magistrate
on flimsy charge. He is convicted,
and, having no money to pay the fine,
the white man offers to advance him
the money provided the negro will
make labor contract with him for a
length of time sufficient to reimburse
him for the money and trouble he
has taken to keep the negro out of
Jail. He is thereupon taken away
and begins what is frequently long
term of cruel servitude, being fre-
quently whipped for failure to per-
form work to the satisfaction of his
employer.
An agent of the secret service who
is now on the grounds will make a
thorough investigation of the whole
alleged system and turn over to the
United States attorney for that dis
trict all information he may secure
with view to the prosecution of
offenders.

Needle Extracted from ChiId's Hip.
The Williamston News Of last we

The Williamson News of last week
relates the following:
Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Campbell, who live
in our mill village have been greatly
alarmed and worried over the condition
of their child few months of age, and
not until last Friday did they discover
the cause of the trouble, as the little
follow is less than q year old and could
not indicate by any means the location
of the pain or tell what produced it.
However,, last Friday slight protrusion
was noticed on the child's hip which
was considerably inflamed and upon a
careful examination hard substance
was felt underneath the skin, and when
brought to- the surface it was found to
be steel needle, which measured one
and three-quarter inches in length and
came out foremost. The only reasonable
theory in the case as offered by the
medical profession of our town is that
the child swallowed the needle by acci-
dent some time ago and that the pointed
instrument worked its way entirely
through the body. This process was
doubtless very painful, causing the
child to suffer intensely at times; but
since tho needle has been discovered and
extracted from the flesh the little fellow
has taken on new life and is growing fat.

hundred men, appeared at the jail,

The turmoil aroused the police, who

nothing could stop the wrath of the
mob but the release of the prisoners,
accepted bond for the culprits, and
the latter departed from the Jail and
the mob dispersed. The prisoners
who caused the trouble were two

There has been q good deal of talk in
cotton circles during the past few weeks
of the part being played by man
named Brown, in New Orleans. This
man Brown sent July cotton Few points
higher at his home town than it was in
New York. He was credited with being
the main factor in the recent phenominal
jump in cotton. 'Mr. Brown" said a
Charlotte cotton man yesterday, 'is q
wild Western Texan who struck New
Orleans few years ago with $50 in his
pockets. Some years later he devised
$75O,O0O to his wife and going back to
the market said: Boys, 1 have kept
out 250 with which to play the market.
You are welcome to it if you can get it.
Just how much this wild Texan has
made in Now Orleans is not known, but
he can probably give check to-day for
S1O,OOO,OO0." This refers to the man
Brown, who went to New York Monday.
He has played conspicuous part in one
of the most exciting chapters in the his
tory of the cotton business of the coun-
try.-Charlotte Observer.
