TRAGIC ENDING
OF a Dance Held Near Oak
Grove,
Man Shot to Death and Woman
Perhaps Fatally Wounded
Slayer Escapes.

Henry Young, negro in the Oak
Grove neighborhood, killed a man
and perhaps fatally shot a woman
at dance Friday night. on the
premises of Mrs. Matte G. Hopson.
Mamie Moore, cook at Mrs. Hop
SON s. had been receiving the atten-
tions of Henry Young but oil late a
railroad hand named Andrew
Houston had become a formidable
rival for the favors of the woman.
Friday night they all met at
dance at the cabin of a tenant on
Mrs. Hopson S place and the trouble
came up about nine o'clock. The
woman was outside of the house
and told Young, who wanted to
take her home, that Houston was
going with her. This angered
Young and he told her she should
not go with Houston. This failed to
change her purpose and he drew
pistol and shot her in the side.
Houston ran out of the house and
Young turned the pistol on him,
shooting him in the face three times
in quick succession. One ball en-
tered his mouth and the others put
out both of Houston's ewes. He
fell dead in his tracks.
The woman was shot through,
the ball being cut out of the side
opposite to the point Of entrance,
The wound is almost necessarily
fatal.
In the confusion following the
shooting, Young made his escape.

freight trains on the Louisville and
Nashville at Tilfords switch, Just
outside of New Hope, IN Nelson

One of the trains was a double
header and the two crashed to.
gether in the dark with terrific
force, catching the train men in the
cabs and demolishing the engines,
while freight car after freight car
piled IN a tangled mass over the
bodies of the unfortunate members
of the crews.
To add to the horror of the scene
the cars took fire and in a few mo-
ments the wreckage was a roaring
furnace, consuming the bodies Of
those buried beneath the debris
and making their rescue an utter
impossibility. The body Of one of
the victims was burned beyond re-
cognition.
The dead are as follows:
Engineer Moreland Graves,of No.
81; Engineer Martin Cannon of No.
81; Fireman A. H. Leach, of No. 81;
Fireman VIM. Lyden, of No. 81;
Engineer Sturgis, of No. "a; Fire
man John Reynolds, of No. "a.
The injured are;

off and body mangled: dying.

The scene of the disaster was ap
pallIng. The trains hit on a high
embankment between New Haven
and Louisville, near Tiltord S
switch. To a moment the engines
and cars caught fire and when day
light came, there was only smoul-
dering mass of debris left of the
three giant engines and thirteen
cars. Five bodies OF engineers
and fremen lay IN the ashes and
were burned to crisp. The first
body found was hardly recogniza-
BILE as that of human being.
Buried under the shattered cars.

flames and boiling water all around
them were the unfortunate train.
men. Men from the Belle of Mel.
son distillery were the first to reach
the scene, and they went bravely
to work to try to rescue some of the
victims, although the fire made it
perilous. TO add to the horrors
gunpower contained in the cars
exploded repeatedly. The first
man taken out was Brakeman
Hume, who is still alive. His Jaw
was torn away and he was fear
fully burned. A moment after
Hume was taken out there was an
explosion at the very spot where he
was lying.
The bodies of Graves, Cannon,
Sturgis, Reynolds, Lyden and
Leach were in a literal hell and
were burned to crisp.

THE WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERS.
EGOr to Slaughter II Train Load of
People on the Southern Near
Danyille, Va.

Danville, Va, Oct. 11.--A bold at
tempt was made his afternoon to
wreck passenger train No. 1 ON the
division of the Southern about
three miles east of this city. The track
had been piled with crossties and q
fish plate. The train was running at a
very slow rate of speed and but for
this fact a disastrous wreck undoubt-
edly would have occurred. The OBJ
struction was placed at the end of a
high trestle and the disaster of three
weeks ago would a been duplicated.
Fortunately the track was straight at
this point and the engineer got his
train down to such 81 speed that when
he struck the ties no damage resulted.
This train from Norfolk Is usually q
little late n had 1t been so this after
noon would have reached this point
after dark. 1t is supposed the wreckers
knew of this when they placed the OBJ
struction on the track. There is g.
strong opinion that there is a gang Of
train wreckers i'm this locality and 1t
has been an open secret that the rail-
road company believe the wreck of
No. 81 here three weeks & was caused
by an obstruction placed on the track
at the bridge. The attempt this after
noon gives color to the theory. There
was a large humble OF passengers on
the train.

THE SULTAN COMING TO TERMS.
He liz Adjusting the Long Held UP
American Claims-The War
shtpH Standing Hx.

,Constantinople, Oct. 1.-two more
claims of the American legation have
been satisfactorily settled, the more
important being h issue of a fir
man granting to DR.. Banks permission
to the ruins of Bismah in
Mezoptamia. The claim has been pend
ing for three years, it's settlement being
constantly thwarted by a German pro-
lessor engaged in similar work.
The second question settled concerns
property belonging to the wife of the
American consul at Smyrna upon which
immigrants have established them
selves n which h government now
agrees to purchase. The negotiations
regarding other questions between
Turkey and the United States are also
making progress.
Some powers are showing irritation
at the prolonged stay Of the American
warships at Beirut, but United States
Minister Leishman maintains an atti-
tude of patient and steady pressure and
is obtaining satisfaction for his de-
mands without any unnecessary blus-
ter such as would be calculated to
trouble his friendly relations with the
Ottoman government.

Mark Toney, Lewis Holmes, Tillman
r.. Denny and others declare that they
would not believe him on his oath.
Others swear that he made to them
statements about the shooting which
do not square with his testimony at
this trial. 1t seems unfortunate that
the witness who claims to have heard
the white feather" threat, who claims
to have told Mr.. White hat the man
who made it was Mr.. Gonzales, that
the witness who told Tillman about 1t
and tnat the witness who is the prin-
cipal eyewitness for the State, the
only witness except LOrick and the
prisoner who claims to have seen the
showing in of the hand Mr.. Con
zales, and who does not whether
Mr.. Gonzales wore glo or not,
though he is sure his thum, were eX-
posed, is n man whose character for
truth is not impregnable in and around
his home. To know as much about q
case as H~olsonback claims to know,
one should ave a reputation for verac-
ity above the average of the best. AS
the of Mr.. Gonzales on one
day and the witness protective of the
Holsonback demonstrated versatility,
at least.
When the defense hat it's
testimony in reply to the attacks on
the character of their wit. IS was
concluded n of the attorn or the
defense that tn ~uefense
would propose that the case be sub
mitted to the jury without argument il
the prosecution would agree. This sug-
gestion Mr.. Bellinger promptly en-
phatically declined, reminding the
prosecution that Mr.. tombstone had q
few minutes before declared that the
defense would force the State to the
jury" and lash it to the gladiatorial
sands" Mr.. Thurmond suggested that
each side nave three hours for argu-
ment and then Judge Gary suggested
that each have q day.
On its face, the suggestion of elimi-
mating argument from the trial would
appear fair to all sides. The prosecu-
ton in declining 1T probably had i'm
mind that a full week has elapsed since
It's case was before the jury. Ordinar-
lily even a murder trial consumes one
or two days, possibly three, and the i'm
pressions of the States testimony are
not so likely to fade in that time. This
trial is unique in the courts of South
Carolina as to time consumed, and the
States account of the killing was given
by witnesses in the first week of the
trial. Between the practical closing of
the States case and the beginning of
that of the defense an intermission of
three days elapsed, when the case was
not daily and directly before the Jury.
Hence the State would have been at a
distinct disadvantage in going to the
trial without argument to freshen the
states side of the controversy I'm the
minds of the IL Jurors.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1903-10-14

held that was competent as showing
the attitude of the mind of the prisoner.
The testimony speaks for itself. The
witnesses describe themselves and state
their histories in a measure together
with their employment, so all is in the
detailed report and is rarely interest
ing.
Solicitor Thurmond conducted the
examination in chief of the States
witnesses for the most part and has 10Y
turned over the conduct of the cross
examinations of the witnesses for the
defense to his assistant counsel.
Juror Sharpe though able to serve
yesterday was still far from well. Judge
Gary was considerate and watchful
of his health throughout the day
and noticing that he appeared fatigued,
adjourned the court at 5 o'clock, one
hour before the usual time.
1T is not believed that as much time
will be consumed in hearing the testi-
mony for the defense as was consumed
by the prosecution, but this is mere
conjecture.

Kulturgeshichte.

Looked at from one point of view. one
would have expected these students and
writer's to indorse heartily Lamprecht's
claim that history is science. All their
efforts, siuce Ranke'S latter years at any
rate, had been directed toward that goal
but the author of the new 'Deutsche
Geschichte" took them off their feet by
cutting asunder all connection between
history and its supposed makers"
princes and heroes, by putting first and
above all the great masses of the people
and by making havoc with the Ranke
tradition. Instead of seeking the sources
of historical information in the greater
or smaller European state archives. Lam
precht had diligently studied the stadt
and dorf records, the very store accounts
of the people. What could have been
more revolutionary? In addition to this.
history embraces. according To the new
conner. all phases of intellectual ana phys
zeal activity. and not. as the Rankianer
believe. only the political side of things.
This was not only sharp reflection on
the older school. but second very prac-
teal. il unspoken. declaration that the
ariStocratic portion of the country should
occupy relatively only few of the pages
of history .-POpular Science Monthly.

up with happy readiness for whatever

ready to sing a triumph song. 1t may be
be by the grandeur of uncomplaining en-
