A Shocking Accident.

Near .Blackville, s. c., last Thursday
morning at o'clock, Meyer Sheahan, of
Augusta, was killed by falling under a
freight train of the Southern railway.
Young Sheahan, together with two
other boys, Benjamin Veno and Edward

ffor a run over to Columbia and at an
early hour the next morning the young
man slipped from the rods beneath the
freight car and was badly mashed and cut
up.
Ben Veno, one OF the boys companions
described the accident as follows:
"We had started to Columbia, Meyer
Sheahan, Edward Goodwin and myself
but Goodwin got left at Allendale and
when the accident occurred Sheahan and
myself were together.
"Just before he fell he told me to watch
out that the conductor could see me. I
moved in further, and saw him moving,
too. turned my back on him second
and when 1 looked again he was gone.
The train was not moving fast and I
jumped off to see what had happened to
him, and saw him dragging by the brake
beam. I jumped on the caboose and told
the conductor, who stopped the train at
once.
"The train came to standstill after
cutting off both his legs and one of the
wheels stopped directly on one Of his
arms. The train was moved ahead little
and the man was pulled out almost life
less.
"Sheahan only lived about two minutes
after they pulled him out from the wheels
and was either unconscious or too weak
from loss of blood tc speak. I asked him
how he fell, and he seemed not to under
stand, and died without speaking word.
81 did not leave the place Immediately,
but the sight was toe much for my nerves
and 1 had to turn my head away"
The young man was II. years old and
his father reports was high.tored young
man of strictly temperate habits, but was
Influenced by evil associates to take his
first hobo trip and consequently his un-
timely end. The magistrate found $5.15

The Methods, Sunday School Picnic.

Last Friday morning, June 10th, at an
early hour, the children Of the Walhalla
Methodist Sunday school and their in
| vited guests, to the number of about
% or 80, in hacks, carriages and buggies,
drove to the tunnel, about four or five
miles away, where they arrived In due
time, happy and merry as children could
we'll be, to spend the day joyfully amid
the scenes at and near the mouth of the
tunnel, where, over 40 years ago, 500 on
more men were engaged in digging and
blasting out a railroad through Stump
house Mountain, mile and a quarter
long, and where South Carolina spent
about $1,OOO,OOO. As result of the
Civil war this great enterprise was
abandoned, and the dream of the great
statesman, John G. Calhoun--a railroad
to the West by the Blue Ridge route
remains unfinished. What pityl
Soon after the arrival on the grounds
the necessary preparations were made
for the children to have delightful out
ing, by the erection of swings, etc.,
among the beautiful trees and pictur-
| esque surroundings. OF course the
children enjoyed these amusements to
their hearts content.
At the proper time bountful and
palatable dinner was spread on the
rocks, near the mouth of the tunnel,
where full justice was done to the same,
by appetites whetted by vigorous exer-
else and the bracipg atmosphere. Ex-
| cellent ice lemonade was served in
abundance to all who desired this de-
licious and cooling beverage.
Among the interesting events of the
day was visit to lssaquena Falls, near by
the tunnel. Here everybody enjoyed
imm ensely this sublime and awe-inspir-
ing cataract, measuring $50 to 200 feet
in depth, with small stream of water
pouring beautifully over the large boul,
ders, jutting out from the mountain
sides.
At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
after having spent most delightful and
enjoyable outing, the picnickers returned
to their homes to enjoy sweet rest and
refreshing sleep at night.
