enormous expense and according
to roughly constructed theories
would mean track from Green
river bridge-four miles above
Saluda-to Melrose, running be-
hind the ridge upon which so
many of the homes in this resort
are situated. The station here
would have to be abandoned and
Saluda would be several miles
from the road.
The Southern seems determiu-
ed to put this division in as good
order as possible, an appropria-
ton of $4,000 having been laid
aside for it at the first of the
year, so it is said. Heavier rail
has been LAID and rock ballast is
being put in. a force is constant
ly at work repairing the roadbed
on the grade.
In view Of the recent accidents
three air brake experts are sta
toned here and make careful
inspections Of all trains before
allowing them to proceed down
the mountain.
In spite Of the dangers of the
grade the flock of tourists ever
increases and the trains crowded.
1t is a novel experience to
many travellers to see the great
mogul No. 255, "the helper" she
is called, move up behind the

CALEB POWERS TO HANG.
At Last Justice Rises i'm Its Ma.
.jesty i'm Kentucky.

Georgetown,K Ky, Aug. 29.-The
third trial of ex. Secretary of State
Caleb Powers for completely in
the murder of Gov. VIM. Goebel,
in January, 1900, closed shortly
before noon today with verdict,
imposing the extreme penalty of
hanging for the distinguished
prisoner who had been in the
penitentiary for three years on
life sentence. The verdict of the
jury, Guilty and the punishment
of DEATH" was reported into the
court at 11.20 today. Several
hundred people crowded the
court room when the verdict was
read, and the most intense silence
prevailed. The jury was polled
and each man declared the YER
dict of guilty to be his finding.
Powers sat unmoved while his
attorneys asked for time to make
motion for a new trial.
Arthur Goebel, the brother of
the victim and a prominent mer-
chant at Cincinnati, who has
spent his time and fortune for
over three years in the prosecu-
ton Of those accused of being In
a conspiracy to kill his brother,
broke down from the strain upon
hearing the verdict.
Powers has been convicted
twice before, this being the third
trial In which the jury brought
in a verdict of guilty agsinft him.
On his previous trials he escaped
with life sentence, as the evil
dence was not sufficiently strong
against him to lead the jury to
intlicting the extreme penalty.
All three of the trials were held
at Georgetown and in each of
them he had the assistance of the
most able lawyers who could be
procured.
The last trial was distinguished
by the fact that Powers addressed
the jury in his own behalf and
in long review of the case show.

attorney, while his eloquence In

Special Judge Robbins this
afternoon formally overruled a
motion for the granting of new
trial to Powers. He then passed
the sentence of death upon him.
After a declaration of the pris-
oner, 81 am not guilty, Judge"
the court fixed November 25th
next as the day for the execution.
The attorneys for the defendant
secured the granting of an appeal
for the case to the Kentucky
court of appeals.

THE DEADLY SALUDA NOUN
4 TAIN GRADE.
Werk of Putting i'm the PrOtec.
tiOn Switches Begun.
Special to The State.


has been begun on the safety
switches" the plan devised by
the engineers of the Southern
railway, in order to render the
grade on Saluda mountalD less
hazardous. The grade, well known
to patrons of the numerous sum.
mer resorts along the line from
Asheville to Spartanburg, is one
of the finest pieces Of construc-
tlon on the Southern's system.
nevertheless, it is very danger.
'ous, as has been proved by the
many casualties occurred upon
1T. The wrecks of the present
summer and the recent catastro-
phe in which Engineer Averill
and FiremanHair lost their lives,
have convinced the heads Of the
system that something must be
done to lessen the danger to the
human freight that is daily car
ried over the line.
The plan that has been devised
was fully described in The State
some days ago. Running off from
the main line, between MeIrose
and Saluda, will be placed two
spur tracks running up inclines
SO steep that the impetus of a
runaway train Will be gradually
checked. Watchmen will be sta.
foRed at these switches night
and day and the switch will be
cut In on the main line at all
times.
The engineer of every train
going down the mountain must
give the watchman a signal that
his train is under full control
Otherwise the switchman will
not let the train continue on its
course but it will be sent on the
-sldetrack.
Two spur tracks will be put In.
for the reason that a train after
passing the first may gain suffi
cient headway to be practically
runaway and will then be sent
In on the second spur.
The hrst spur will be located
about mile and a half from Sa-
luda, not a quarter of mile from
Big Got, whose walls tower 100
feet above the track. The switch
will be placed at the end of a
section of the track which runs
for few hundred feet practi-
cally In a straight line, thus al
lowing the train if necessary to
leave 1t on an easy angle. From
the switch the spur will extend

HISTORIC HAMBURG no BE
REJUYENATED.
People of Aiken Deeply Interest.
ed in the Undertaking.
Special TO The State.

Hamburg charter, there seems to
be considerable uncertainty as to
the facts in the case Your cor.
respondent has looked into the
Aiken end of the matter and so
far as known here, the charter of
the town of Hamburg was not
repealed In 1892.
The town was originally char
tered in 1929 and the land on
which the busy town was subse-
luently built belonged to the
State. 1t was given over to
German named Schultz to found
town, but certain conditions
were attached in order that
charter might be obtained. But
if the charter was repealed,
certain lands were to revert to
the State, and these lands incluG-
ed most of the town. Hamburg
at that time was in Edgefeld
county and the true facts con
corning the States claim can be
obtained only by searching the
records at Edgefield. Some titles
to land in Hamburg, of course,
are clear, charter or no charter.
1t is true the charter was re.
pealed some time in the 7Os, but
it is also true that the town
was rechartered in 1880 aud in
1885 that charter was amended,
giving the town The right to elect
an intendant and other corpora.
tion officials. 1t is possible that
bill was introduced in the legis-
lature In 1892 to repeal the
charter of the town of Hamburg
but on record can be found to
show that the bill was passed.
Mr.. j. M. Palatty of Warrenville
was in Columbia on last Monday
and Tuesday and with Secretary
CAN'T searched the records on
file In the office of the secretary
of state for several years prior
to and following 1892 and no law
affecting the case was found.
Nor does the statutes of South
Carolina covering that period
contain the law repeating the
charter OF Hamburg.
There is no record on the
county clerks books in Aiken to
show whether the charter was
repealed or not.
In the meantime there is
movement on foot to resurrect
the old town and build it up TO
its former position of importance
and this movement is one Of in
terest to every citizen Of Aiken
county. Hamburg at one time
was the commercial centre of this
section but for some reason Au-
gusta, Ga, outgrew it and finally
overshadoWed 1t until now moth
ing is left Of it but the doubt as
10 Whelher the former emporium
is chartered town or a patch Of
government land.
1t is said by some that the
charter was repealed in 1892 but
the repeating act has been lost.
If this Is so, then what? The
former streets and lots are now
occupied by squatters, who are
said to be in possession of the
Lands that the state claims. II
The state can prove its claim to
the lands then these can be sold
and bought up and the town of
Hamburg can he rebuilt and pos
sihly the traditions of the past
may be vitalized into the realities
OF the future. Hamburg has the
same advantages Of water route
lhat Augusta has and her trade
would be supplied by the same
sources that supply her sister
across the Savannah. And the
advantages offered to Aiken coun-

Races at State Fair.

There is every reason to believe that
the races at the State Fair to be held
at Pueblo, September IA to IS. will
be better than at the June race meet,
and this is very encouraging to the
management. for the spring races were
pronunced the best that had ever been
held on the State Fair track, .and they
were not surpassed at either Clorado
Springs or Denver. or course it will
be impossible to get some of the bet
ter horses that were in the circuit this
spring as they have gone down the
Grand Circuit and are now in the east.
but a great number of them are ex-
pected, and there are many fast ami
mails now in the state and all classes
