telling him that he had discovered ev-
dence of malice in this work and eX-
pressed his belief that some one had
disconnected the joints in the lower
half of the bridge.
The stretch of track in that vicinity
is clear, straight and apparently we'll
built one. The timbers of the bridge
appear to have been wrenched from
their fastenings and those that are
splintered are of sound wood. There
was nothing to suggest that the foun-
dation of the structure was under
mined by a washout although the
ground was somewhat marshy yester-
day.
The dead bodies were all taken from
the wreck about half past ten O'Clock.
The woman who was so badly mutilat-
ed wore a simple gold ring with the
inscription, "From Tom johanna, Oct.

Master w. Terrell Jones writes from
Texas about The Boil Weevil.

The Boil Weevil which has caused so much
CONSERVATION among the farmers OF Texas
is a small grayish weevil measuring little
less than a quarter Of an inch, 1t resembles
a large Doodle bug with grayish wings: The
weevils begin their attack upon the cotton as
soon as the squares begin to form. 1t punnct,
ures the squares and lays It's eggs In 1t. The
punclured squares usually fall to the ground.
Later in the season the weevil attacks tne
which hatches from IL leeds upon the interior
substance of the boil. This insect crossed
over from Mexico into Texas In 1893 near
Brownsville, and it has been gradually
extending lis way over the State as far North
as Dallas and as far West as Louisiana. In
many sections in South Texas especially In
the bottom land II has almost destroyed the
entire crop for several years. No adequate
remedy has been discovered and the govern.
ment experts say that it is doubtful II the
boil weevil can ever be eradicated and the
farmers must learn to grow cotton In spite
of the boil weevil
The weeyil does its greatest damage in
those sections where the cotton attains q
rank growth. Upon the upland where the
weevil is most abundant the damage that Is

ENGINEER MEARES'
MAR RATIVE.
Charlotte, Sept. 8.

CuaTlOlle, Sepl. y.
The wrecked train was running about
40 miles an hour when the trestle,
which is about 800 feet long, spanning
a me adow near the Catawba river, gave
way. The engine and cars passed over
but were drawn backward into the
abyss and upon the other cars the light
engine and caboose piled in on top OF
the train of wreckage before it could
be tiogged.
CASTOR Meares, the engineer of the
passenger train, escaped with some
bruises and a painful scalp wound.
How he escaped death is beyond his
own or any ones comprehension. He
said that he was driving at the rate OF
40 miles an hour as he crossed the
bridge. Just before the engine had
swept entirely clear of the structure,
he felt it sinking, but the impetus car
rjed the engine and all the cars except
the first class passenger car and the
Pullman clear of the yawning gull
which was left when half the bridge
collapsed, but The engine and cars were
swerved from their course to the right,
tearing the rail loose from its fastenings
and hurting the entire train upside
down over an embankment to the
meadow about 20 feet below.
A scene horrible beyond description
ensued. The accounts of the survivors
are terrible. When the train went
crashing over the embankment, every
light went out, passengers were thrown
heels over heads against the sides OF
the coaches, bleeding and bruised. A
natural panic took them some were
rendered unconscious for moment.
Mrs. Black, sitting near her husband,
gave short cry and when he managed
TO strike a match and find her body he
discovered that she was dead, her neck
having been broken. She was the

THE BRAKENIAN'S CRY.

THE BRAKEMAN's CRY.
As the scrambling and shouting went
on in the dark, above the noise a brake
man with his head half way out win
dow was heard to shout:
MY God, the freight train is coming
upon US w
In less than a minute the freight,
which had left Monroe, Is minutes be-
hind the passenger, came whiZzing
along the tracks, struck the open space
where the bridge had fallen and plung-
ed its way through the passenger cars.
The woman whose identity could not
be discovered then met her death, the
freight engine having crashed through
the side of that passenger car in which
she was, crushing her body into a
shapeless mass. The engineer of the
freight train must have met his death
instantly. His body was found III the
cab Of the overturned engine with his
head crushed but with few bruises on
his body. When his body was dug out
Of the debris this morning his watch
was still running on time. His fire.
man escaped with a few minor inJu-
ries.
The wreck developed at least one
hero. Mr.. Black, whose wife was
killed beside him, was the last man to
leave the coaches, and what he did the
very first thing was to walk with all
his bruised condition, to Catawba juno
ton, two miles away, get into the tel
egraph office aud send to Monroe for
help. He is telegraph operator in
the service of the Norfolk and Western
railroad and was going to Atlanta with
his wife to testify there in a railroad
suit. He hardly realizes the blow he
has sustained, and sat all day on the
bank nearby with mournful eyes and
muttering to himself: my God,
what an ordeal for man to bear"
A HEAP or JUNK.
The mass of wreckage Of the two
trains is like heap of junk. Rall-
road men said to-day that they had
never seen such a complete demolition
of engines and coaches. They are ly-
ing heaped and crushed together: Look
ing at the conglomeratlon, people won
der that any one escaped. The wreck
ing crew from the Seaboard shops at
A6bevile, S. c., arrived at about 10
o'clock this morning and began to clear
away the debris. 1t will take days to
get the line in passable condition, al
though the trains are scattered to the
side of the track and into the raVlne IN
TO which the bridge fell.
George S. Fitzwater, chief detective
of the Seaboard, arrived on the scene
early in the morning and took charge
of the situation until organized helpar-
rived. He said this afternoon tnat ne
had found some spikes and bolts and
two angle bars which had been remov,,
ed from the track with claw bars, and
he said he was confident dirty WORK
had been done. Mr.. Fitzwater sent q
