PLUNGED TO DEATH.

Seven Persons Are Killed When Train
Crashes Through Carolina Trestle.
-Four woman passengers and three
trainmen were killed and about thirty
five persons injured in a Seaboard Air
Line wrecked at Catawba Junction, s. G..
The wrecked train was the Sea Express
due at Atlanta, Ca, at $50 a. m. 1t
plunged through a trestle at Catawba
Junction, between Catawba and Wax
haw, s. c., about 80 a. m. The train
consisted of an engine, five coaches and
a sleeper. An engine following the ex-
press plunged on top of the shattered
cars. In its downward rush the train
carried away all telegraph wires. 1t is
believed that joints in the track had
been tempered with and that this caused
the wreck. About sixty feet Of the tres
tie was carried away. The locomotive
had crossed the place in the track where
1t was subsequently discovered, accord
ing to report from an officer Of the
road, that some person had loosened the
rail connections. The train broke in two.
The part in advance toppled over on the
embankment south of the trestle, while
the rest OF the train appears to have
gone through the trestle to the new
ground about twenty feet below. This
was followed by the light engine follow
ing, which fell through the broken tres

PROGRESS OF THE WAR
Russian Retreat Was a ROut.

1t Is impossible to ascertain what
has happened during the last week be-
tween Liaoyang and Mukden, except
In the broadcast outlines, and even as
to these there is uncertainty. We
know that Kouropatkin has been
withdrawing his army northward, but
bow far he has taken it we cannot
tell. We know that Kuroki has been
in touch with his rear guard to the
east at least part of the time. But
that Is about all.
We have had it officially stated sew
eral times that the entire Russian
army was in Mukden or north of
there, and concurrently we have had
scraps of information to indicate that
the movement was not yet completed.
RumOrs even of pitched battles fought
by the Russian rear guard are still
coming. We may disregard as mani
testify erroneous all stories from hys-
terical correspondents and army off,
GERS In Mukden of fighting close In to
that city, and we can similarly disre-
gard the report that Kuroki's and
Oku's forces are respectively twenty
seven and twenty miles to the east
and west Of Mukden.

den. This retreat is directly away
from Port Arthur
The Port Arthur situation remains
obscure. There has been some heavy
fighting. The Japs gained a few adj
vantages, though probably at a heavy
cost. The Russians are now forced to
distill sea water because the Japan
csc have cut off the last remaining
fresh water spring of the Russians,
which was at Fort Else. Else and the
adjoining forts are not occupied by
either side, since these positions are
dominated by batteries of both sides
Indications are that there will not
be an immediate resumption of the
fighting in the neighborhood Of Muk-
den. Both sides are played out. The
