"A Fleet Mountain

A SLIDE JUST BEYOND
Mamie Gibson First Placed the Tor

the Train Waving the Red
Signal of Danger.
Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Asheville, n. c., May 1.-Another
streak of hard luck hit the Southern
Saturday when the ogden special was
wrecked at Greenville, S. c., and the
hoo doc" that effected that bit of
misfortune was not content until two
other mishaps had occurred. resulting
in the partial wreck of through freight
Number IA, near Old Fort last night,
and a short time afterwards slide at
Mud Cut.
Fhe wreck of Number "A did con-
siderable property damage and tore
up the track for quite a distance, but
fortunately none of the crew sustained
injury. At Mud Cut great mass of
earth and stone was piled on the
track, and but for the Unborn intelli-
gence and presence or mind of little
16-year-old mountain girl, Mamie
Gibson, and her quick action a mixed
passenger and freight train would in
all probability have been wrecked and
several lives lost.
After side-tracking at Swarnanoa
to allow a special to pass the mixed
train proceeded en- it's way eastward
and in going through the tunnel close
to Mud Cut Engineer G.. w Brown
heard the report of torpedo. He
gave the answering signal and at the
same time espied a girl speeding to-
ward him waving red flag. The en-
gineer epplied the brakes, and the
train with its human freight, was
brought to a standstill within ten feet
of the slide.
The girl had followed the train to
the spot and as the passengers alight-
ed told her story.
about her sand more than one face
paled at the thought of so narrow an
escape from death. She talked in a
frank manner modestly and woman
ly She had stood at her home in view
of the cut and watched the special
pass.
Shortly after this, perhaps fifteen
minutes she heard a rumbling noise
and looking out she saw a great mass
of earth and rock tumble upon the
track. Realizing that any passing
train with it's crew or passengers was
i'm imminent danger and must be
warned she ran into the house. and
picking up a torpedo that had been
left there, started up the track and
retraced her steps. Before reaching
the slide, however, she found a red
flag, and fearing that the torpedo
would not suffice to warn the engineer,
again started up the track, when the
engineers whistle sounded, and she
succeeded in waving the train to a
StandStill in time to avoid a calamity.
The passengers, upon learning what
the child had done, Immediately took
up a collection and SO was placed in
q hat for the girl a. L. Wiley, of
this city, who was aboard. said that
the slide was at a sharp curve, and
that had not the engineer been warn
ed the train would now be a wreck.

LARGE CONGREGATIONS.
Rev. X. j. Bateman Preaching Won
dcrfuI Sermons.

Rev. r. ]. Bateman, of Mt. Olive.
formerly of Raleigh dscoursed
strongly and effectively last night at
the Fayetteville Street Baptist church,
where he began a series of revival
services Sunday morning.
His subject last night was: "The
Power of the Spirit, and We Should
Be Witnesses" A large congregation
deeply moved by his eloquence and
power heard him preach.
The church auditorium was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity at both ser
vices of Sunday. In the morning his
subject was: Victory Through
Christ"
Rev. Mr.. Bateman discussed mans
bankruptcy before God. Because of
the sin of the first man, Adam, he
said, all men became sinners, thus
having maintained no heritage. In
this utter hopeless condition dispair
became inevitable and man sought to
hide himself behind the fig bushes of
his own shame. God espouSes the
cause of fallen man, he said, man be-
ing the only object of Gods creation
made in his own image. God decreed
another opportunity and Christ un-
dertakes the conquest. From His
birth to His baptism everything
tended in His life to convince the
the family of man. The Jordan as
the gateway to the battlefield, Christ
emerged from the bosom of the Jor-
dan clothed in obedience by baptism
in companionship by the spirits pres
ence and power by the acknowledging
voice of God the Father The wilder
ness was the first battlefield. Christ
challenged temptation in every phase.
There are no temptations common to
MA fh.iu 4
from the wilderness to the Garden
of Gethseame. He is overcoming OBJ
stacles all for His brethren. During
this heated campaign e holds coun-
sci of war upon the Mount of Trans
figuration from which hour toward
the crowning day of His victorious
close. Thus all the temptations of life,
one by one, have fallen before His
victorious tread.
On Sunday night, Mr.. Batcman's
subject was, "The Slavery of Sin and
Christ the Emancipator" He dis
cussed the agencies of evil and the
condition of mans establishment,
who sells himself for what he sup
poses 20 be pleasures. He spoke of
the disappointing results of this trans
action which were a ruined life, a
lost soul, and hell instead of a
heaven. This slavery, he declared, is
hopeless, from which man is unable
to eXtricate himself. He proclaimed
the good news of a liberator and said
THE son shall make you free" which
freedom is complete, and such that
no power in earth or hell can ever
doubt it's authority.
Great interest was manifested on the
part of Christians desiring reconsecra-
ton, and among the unsaVed many
of whom made requests for prayer.
and there were four professed con-
versions. The people seemed ready
for wonderful revival.

Kansas City Journal.

Kansas CtIy journal.
 Attorney General Moody has been at Oyster Bay in consultation with Presi- dent Roosevelt and reports that he and the president are agreed that the laws of the United States should be amended with a view to making the conviction of criminals more certain and speedy. Presumably in his annual message to congress the president will recoppend enactment of such amend ments. It is really amazing to the average citizen that something is not done in the matter of making Justice surer and swifter in the State courts Week after week, month after month and year after year the public sees guilty wretches go unwhipped of jus tiee simply because the statutes and the rules of practice permit attorneys to thrust obstacles in the shape of technicalities and dilatory procedures in the way. Attention has been call cd to these outrages many times by the newspapers and by public speak CTS; everybody is aware of them and condemns them, yet no steps are taken toward remedying the evil.
