ably die.
This IS the fourth attempt in the last four
months to wreck passenger trains in the same
pIace Previous attempts were made by piling
ties on the track, but without serious results
To-day's wreck was caused by removing the
snikes and fshplates of two rails on the in
side of a curve. The locomotive passed over the
loose rails safely, but a mail car left the track
and was dragged one hundred yards along the
Arobanlrnent before the train was stopped. The
next FIVE cars-two express and baggage cars, a
smoking car and two day coaches-went into
the ditch across the right of way fence. The
end Of the baggage car went up in the air high
enough to ground the telegraph wires Two
Pullman cars remained on the track

occurred and became greatly excited but they
soon formed a wrecking crew and went TO the
relief OF the men in the overturned car. A
window was broken and of seven men in the
car six were injured. An hour after the wreck
a relief train took the injured TO Emporia.
There is no clew to the wreckers, Three men
were seen last night the Howard Branch
section house. This morning 9 track wrench
and a claw bar were missing, and they we're
found in a pool OF water near the wreck.

Railroad Accident.

Rochester, n. Y, July 16.-The
western express due in this city at 4:O5

hospital at six O'Clock. His fireman.
Martin Glossy, was also scalded, and
George White, colored, riding in the
smoker, was badly bruised. None OF the

CURED there is sharp curve. A yard
engine was backing line of empty coal
cars across to track No. |. About
half of the line had crossed, when the
express crashed into the middle OF the
train of empty cars. The big express
engine ploughed its way through the
lighter cars, scattering debris on either
side and hurting parts of the wreckage
up on top of the telegraph wires. After
going through the train the engine Of
the express slowed around aud toppled

SENATOR MARTIN SPEAKS.

Senator Martin was the principal
speaker at barbecue at Chatham, the
county seat of Pittsylvania county, yes
terday, at which more than 2, 900 persons
we're present. The Senator denied the
charge of Governor MOntague-that he
is at the head of a machine. j. Taylor
Ellyson, candidate for Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, in a 10 minute talk, said j. Ais
ton Cabell made a mistake in his recent
interview, in which he said Ellyson
promised him not to be candidate, de-
claring that never at any time or in any
place had he made such statement.
An immense audience greeted Senator
Martin and Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson at
the Academy of Music in Danville last
night. The building ihas rarely been so
full. The speeches were bright, enter
tanning and well delivered, and the au-
dience was enthusiastic. Senator Mar
tin was introduced by Mr.. w. I. Harris,
and the greeting he received gratified
him, as he acknowledged in the course
of his speech. He discussed some points
in Governor Montague's Manchester
speech of Saturday night. Mr.. Ellyson's
speech was a presentation of his claims
for nomination RS a candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor.
In its account of the meeting the Rich
mond Times Dispatch say Senator
Martin evidently realized that he was in
"the enemy country" as we'll as before
an audience that was made up of straDg-
ers, and in defending his record and CIV
ing an account of his stewardship, he
was perhaps most earnest and threw more
vim of soul into his address than have
characterized any of his other speeches
in the campaign. That Senator Martin
made new friends was plain to a casual
observer, and that he earned many votes
his friends believe and are not slow to
express their delight. The senator's re-
ception was inspiring. The people cheer
ed him, threw up their hats, and cheered
again, and it was some minutes before he
could begin his speech.
