HOW MIR. T1sDALE WAS HURT.

In looking over the Sumter Daily
Item this morning Of yesterdays date
I noticed account of accident to Mr..
Preston Tisdale, which is incorrect
and would ask you in justice to all
concerned to publish correct account
as follows:
Mr.. Tisdale was coupler on yard
engine (and not car inspector as re-
mort states) nor was it carelessness
on the part of any of his fellow work
men, but Mr. Tisdale went in between
was caught under wheel and mashed
and gave the signal to go ahead which
signal switchman passed to engineer
and failing to uncouple car when en-
CINE started ahead Mr.. Tisdale's foot
was caught under wheel and mashed
which was regretted by every man on
the work; and l will be glad if you
state these facts in justice to the yard
crew on Sumter yard. Yours very
truly, w. L. Gregg, Jr.'
Yard Master A. C. L.

ELS FOOT CRUSHED.
Terrible Accident to Mr.. Preston E.
Tisdale.
From The Daily Item Nov. 1s.

From The Daily Item Nov. 1S.
One of the worst and most careless
accidents that has ever occurred in
Sumter happened at the Atlantic
Coast Line depot this morning. Mr..
Preston E. Tisdale, car inspector
for the railroad. while engaged in
his usual work of making an examl-
nation of the cars that came into the
yard, fell victim to the carelessuess
of fellow employee of the company.
A freight had just come into the
yard at about 9 O'Clock, and while
Mr.. Tisdale was in between two box
cars, acting within the scope of his
duty as inspector, the engine was
signalled forward by a Aagman, and
Mr. Tisdale's foot was horribly crush
ed.
He vas removed to the Sumter
Hospital for attention, and his in
jurles were Of such severe nature as
to make it necessary to amputate the
foot above the ankle.
Mr.. Tisdale is suffering greatly
from both his wound and snock, and
it will be many days before be is able
to leave the hospital.

the different stations between Will
soi.'s Mill and Sumter Will be present
at this meeting, 1 shall be pleased TO
give due consideration 70 any sugges-
,;ons made by them as to a change of
caedule. I would not, however, make
any change without first having an eS-
preston from the people between
sumter and Camden as l am con-
vinced that a change would be un-
satisfactory with them and, in my
opinion, would operate against the
interests of the city Of Sumter.
Yours truly,
Thomas Wilson, President.
Mr.. O'Donnell informed the visit
ng gentlemen that all Sumter desired
was a schedule that would give per
sons who desire to trade here sufIic-
lent tine in which to transact their
business. He Gid not want a schedule
tsat would operate against any point
on the road.
The subject Of convenient sched-
,l.e was debated for a long time by
nearly every gentleman present, and
it was rot long before Il was evident
that II was impossible to arrange
schedule suitable to all, and that an
enforcement OF the present schedule
was the best solution Of the problem.

and willing to do all in their power
to make an agreeable adjustment OF

make Tar. Wilson run his trains on

accomplishing this, everyone will be
highly elated.

Mill. This arrangement, you will see,
would upset the present mail, express
and passenger connections and would
prove most unsatisfactory to all pat
rons. It would be necessary that
trains run through from Wilson's Mill
to Camden as the run to Wilson's
Mill from Sumter would be too much
for one crew to double, and this
would necessitate the keeping Of the
crew over at Wilson's Mill and at
Camden, and make no connections

HENLEY ON-THE-THANIES, Eng

a genuine scare yesterday. when for a
while 1t looked as If the clubs shell had
been irreparably damaged.

shell for their morning row, Coxswain
Abel slipped, and his foot crashed with
great force against The .Jde Il me fr,il
boat. At first glance it appeared to be
seriously impaired, and the men who
are expected TO bring the Grand Chal-
ienge cub to America were blue.
Little Harm Done.
The shell was then pulled out upon the
slip. where a thorough examination
could be made. The oarsmen were over
toyed to find that their fears had been
groundless; the damage was trivial and
could be repaired in a short time. This
was done. and after a delay of an hour

crack English eight, and it convinced
them of the strength of the crew they
must beat to earn the Grand. The Le-
