NoRTH CAROLINA SENSATION
Two Men Charged With Trying &c
Briba the Kil9o Jury.

A dispatch from Raleigh, N. g.,
says the sensation in the State Is the
finding Of two we'll known white nen
Of that county guilty Of attempting tc
influence the jurors for Kilgo in the
well.known case OF T. J. Gattis,
Methodist minister, against President
K;lgo OF Trinity college and B. n.
Duke OF the American Tobacco com
pany, which was non-suited there
Wednesday, Kilgo and Duke being
charged with malicious libel.
The action was taken by Judge Fred
Moore, presiding In the superior court.
He issued bench warrants for J.
Rowan Rogers, former Republican
sheriff, and now court receiver in the
federal court there, and j. P. Sorrell,
a prominent farmer. The testimony Of
two yeniremen, ope accepted as a
Juror, was that Rogers and Sorrel hao
been to them and urged them to help
out DR.. Kileo in his suit, and they
would be taken care Of il trouble
came.
Kilgo, Duke and their known attor'
neys swore that they knew nothing Of
the matter. Judge Moore found both
Rogers and Sorrell guilty and sen;
them to jail for 80 days with fine Of
$50 "ach. It Is to be hoped that K!lso,
who is well-known in South Carolina,
bad nothing to do with trying to tz
the iu"y, but it looks quite hshy, tc
say the least OF it. The Jury that was
fixed eXanerated Kilko and Duke.

Qaeer Physical Facts.

The two sides Of a persons face are
never alike. The eyes are out OF line
in two cases out Of FIVE and one eye is
stronger than the other In seven per-
sons out OF ten. The right eye is also
as a rule higher than the left. Only
one person in fifteen has perfect eyes,
the largest percentage OF defects pre-
vailing among fair haired people. The
smallest vibration Of sound can be
distinguished batter with one ear than
with both. The nails OF two fingers
never grow with the same rapidity,
that of the middle hnger growing the
fastest, while that of the thumb
grows Slowest. In 81 cases out OF
100 the left leg is shorter than the
right.

The Running Of Freight Trains on

The Running Of Freight Trains on
Sunday BY the Railroads.
The Columbia Record says as re-
suit Of a complaint received by the
railroad commission regarding the
running Of freight trains on Sunday a
formal order has been issued calling
attention to the law on the subject
and ordering the cessation Of the pra-
tics, if it exists. The complaint came
from a mum Der OF ministers Of Spar
anburg and other cities In the upper
part OF the state and the letters re.
ceived stated that the law had been
constantly violated. The railroad
commission spent several hours dis
cussing the situation, and, after an
examintion Of the law, decided that 1t
the complaint was true the railroads
were subject to fine.
Railroad people state that the com
plaint is altogether unfoanded and
that the railroads With few excep-
tions, do not violate the law. There
is a special provision made for the fast
vegetable and fruit trains are hurried
North as rapidly as possible that these
trains are the ones about which COM
plaint has been filed. II that is the
case the order will, OF course, cot af-
feet their running, as they come un-
der the Interstate commerce law and
caunot be touched. Outside OF these,
however, there are nc local freight
trains that are considered violation OF
the law.
On some Of the roads trains arrive
OF depart from their terminals Late
Saturday and sometimes the hours OF
che crews extend over Sunday, but
this is considered absolutely necessary
in the business Of the road and does
not apply in the order to be issued.
The order will only apply to trains
carrying freight that make a business
OF running Sunay and if there are any
OF these they are subject to a fine. 1t
is safe to say, however, that there are
none and that the roads are not violat-
ing the law.

A Deatn Dealing Wreck on a
Maryland Railroad.
TRAINMEN VICTIMS.
Is People We're Killed and a Score
Were Injured. A Passenger Train
Crashed Into a Double Header
Freight, Reducing all Three
Engines to Scrap Iron.

By far the worst wreck in the his
tory Of the Western Maryland railroad
occurred Saturday evening at point
about a quarter Of a mile from Patap-
SEQ, a small station between Vest
minister and Finksburg, Md. At
least rs people are believed to have
been killed and a score more injured.
Passenger Train No. 81, eastbound,
was running at a very high rate Of
speed when, at the point named, it
crashed into a double. header freight
running east. All three Of the engines
were reduced to scrap iron, the express
and baggage cars OF the passenger
were smashed and a number of the
freight cars were splintered. The
passenger coaches sustained little In
jury and almost without exception
their occupants escaped with nothing
worse tnan bad shaking up. The IA:
talities and Injuries were to the crews
OF the engines and to workmen en-
ployed by the railroad. It is a remark
able coincidence that these latter.
should have been at work repairing
the damage caused by a recent small
wreck that occurred at Mont Hope sta
tion, near Baltimore.
They were on their way to their
homes, in-smau towns along the West
ern Maryland railroad, to spend Sum
day. Not being regular passengers
they had boarded the baggage car and
engine. When. the crash came, the
more fortunate who were on the en-
gine jumped or were thrown from the
train and were only injured. Those
in the baggage car we're terribly man
gled and the crews Of all three engines
we're killed. Their bodies are all be-
lieved to be under the wreckage Of the
engines.
Just before the first relief train
carrying injured to the hospitals OF
Baltimore left the scene, the wrecka9e
about them began to burn. The first
relief train to reach Baltimore brought
II badly injured. One had died on,
the trip. A doz n ambulances await
ed the arrival Of the relief train at
the union station and hurried the in
jured to hospitals as fast as they could

which the accident occurred is SO stu.

lively, were held up and robbed at the
points OF two revolvers thrust in their

and then stating that he himself was

prison, ordered his victims to turn

Brown had been with T;ppin to a

A Fast Train Jumps the Track
at Mentor, Ohio.
NINETEEN KILLED
And Over A Score We're Hurt. There Is
Plain Evidence That Switch Had
Been MaIiciously Tempered
With by Some Person or
PersenS.

Running at the rate Of so or go
miles an hour, the Twentieth Century
limited on the Lake Shore railroad
:ashed in5o an open switch at the pas
>ergar Station at Mentor, OHIO,
shortly before 10 o'clock Wednesday
night. TIE combination baggage and
smoking buff L car and the coach be-
hind il, caught FIRE and were destroy
ed. The train was eastbound, having
left Cleveland about o'clock and as
it does not stop here it was running at
great speed. The engineer did not 40
tice the open switch until the train
struck it. The engine left the rails
and plowed into the ground, tearing
up the track for yards. The two coach.
es following it janmed into it with
great force and were crushed, the fire
from the engine setting them ablaze.
fortunately most OF the occupants Of
these two coaches were rescued before
the fire reached them.
Nineteen dead and a dozen slightly
injured comprised the casualty list
made by the wrecking Of the train. 1t
it maintained by railway officials that
the switch on which the limited was
wrecked was thrown open and locked
and the switch light extiuguised by
some perscn, either maniac or some
one seekiDgreyenge. tits still unknown
who tllis person is, although detectiV-
es are working On the case. A careful
examination Of the switch showed
that it was In perfect condition.
Trainsmen are Of the opinion that the
engineer Of the Twentieth Century
was deceived by the light OF switch
just beyond the open switch, the light
OF which is said to have been out.
W. H. Marshall, general manager OF
the Lake Shore, says the speed Of the
train was not contributory cause to
the wreck. BE said that other Lake
Shore trains travel through Melto at
a speed equal to that attained by the
limited last night, which was not,
MIR. Marshall said, above go miles an
hour. The schedule for the train calls
for speed Of 81 miles an hour. Coro-
ner CouEk Of Lake county announced
THURSDAY evening that an inquest
would begin next Monday in Patnes-
willie
