MORE SPOTTED FEVER.
THE DIPHTHERIA AHTIToXIN
TREATMENT.
DR.. Moore. the Stricken Physician At
tended Cases Recently in East Haven,
where Two Deaths Occurred.


! Where Two Deaths Occurred.
Three new cases of malignant cere-
bro spinal meningitis were yesterday
reported at the office of the city board
of health. Health Officer Wright in
discussing the epidemic said that the
board believed it was having as great
success as could be expected in hand
ling the disease. The fact, however,
that. it is practically unknown to ply
sicians, so far as the treatment of cases
is concerned, renders the handling OF
the epidemic an extremely unsatisfac-
aory performance, as there is absolutely
no way of knowing whether the steps
of the board avail in stamping out the
disease or not.
The suggestion of DIR. A. ]. Wolf of
Hartford that spotted fever bears
some relation to diphtheria, has been
adopted by the physicians here and
they are administering to patients the
diphtheria antitoxin treatment. f.
Three cases of spotted fever where
diphtheria antitoxin treatment has been
followed, have come to the notice of the
department of health. Of these three
cases two are apparently recovering
and one it is believed is on the positive
road to recovery. 81.
The question. as to the disease being
or not being contagious is occupying
much attention among physicians. At
first.5it was stated that DR.. Moore had
not attended any spotted fever pa
tients. It developed yesterday, how
ever, that he treated in East Haven
patients suffering from the fever in its
most malignant form. .5 .,s ,ra

New Haven Theater.

Those who brayed the elements last
night and witnessed the production of
the play When Women Love- at the
New Haven theater last night must
certainly have felt well repaid for their
venture There was a good-sized au-
dienee and the enthusiasm manifested
was fattering demonstration of APP
probation and approved" E When Wom-
en- Love- is a play true to life. Its ac-
tion is in the present and the scenes in
New York city. The story is one of
much interest and carries with it a
moral strong and convincing. The ba-
sis of the plot is the struggle between
two young attorneys for the hand Of a
beautiful girl. One bears her an hon.
est love and the other forces his at
tentions upon her and feigns infatua-
ton only with a desire to ultimately
drag her down to his own lever and
make her his mistress. Numerous
plots and intrigues result from his
Vaccinations, but they are frustrated
by the arrival at the proper moment
of a clever detective. The acts are re-
plete with exciting situations and thrill
ling climaxes. a@"
During the action numerous special
ties are introduced, especially by Tom
Waters. In the third act Mr.. Waters
gave a piano speciality which was
greeted with tremendous applause and
it was with difficulty that the enthu-
siasm was subsidized.
The company is we'll balanced and
the production made fully complete by
the excellent scenic effects.

1t is said to be well told and to contain
just enough of everything to make il
palatable. The scenic dressing given
to this production is said to. be the
most gorgeous ever given a play of its
kind, and when the curtain rises on
the first act it will disclose harbo1

Train Runs Into
Open Draw Bridge
MANY PEOPLE KILLED
Cars Plunged Into Twenty
Feet of Water and Work
Of Rescue Was Very
Difficult Task.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. H. Owing
to the inability of Engineer D. l..
Reig to control his air brakes, an
excursion train from Kinston,
N. c., bound to this city. plunged
through an open draw in bridge
over the western branch of the
Eliza beth river at Bruce Station,
eight miles from Norfolk this
afternoon, and half hundred
persons, mostly negroes, were
drowned. Up to late hour to-
night only seven bodies had been
recovered from the wreckage.
The list of I'M ured, so far as can
be ascertained, numbers nearly
one hundred, though most of
these are slightly hurt. A large
mum Der of physicians from this
and nearby cities have gone to
the scene.
The Merritt wrecking organ
ization tonight dispatched an ex-
petition to the scene to raise the
sunken cars, which lie in about
twenty-five feet of water. Until
the cars are raised, no accurate
estimate of the number of dead
can be given.
The train was composed of an
engine and six passenger cars.
The engine and two cars went
through the draw, leaving the
four cars on the track. One car
was completely submerged and
the other partly submerged.
Nothing is visible of the locomo-
tive, not even the smoke stack.
It is believed every occupant of
of the first car persisted. The
dead can be gotten out only by
diving under the car. The scene
following the wreck was one OF
indescribable horror, with the
shrieking Of men, women and
children, who were drowning,
struggling out of the partly sub
merged coach and floating in the
river.
The passengers who we're un-
injured Immediately started to
rescue those imprisoned in the
cars. Norfolk and Portsmouth
we're communicated with and
physicians we're sent out on a
wrecking train. Many people in
the neighborhood went to the
scene of the wreck and helped in
the rescue. The injured were
taken to the track embankment,
and were attended there by the
physicians.

bridge tender of the Atlantic
Coast Line, was knocked from
the bridge by the impact and
killed. Engineer Reig, and Fire

A STORY OF TWO PREACHERS

missing for several days. While
searching for the lost animal he
met the elder Rawlings. Carter
claims that, without speaking
word, Rawlings uns1ung his rifle
f, and commenced shooting, the
first bullet striking him in the
hand and the next one going
through the bone in his right leg
just below the knee.
Garter fell forward and pre-
tended that he was dead. Rawl-
walked up to within thirty PAGES
and fired three more shots, the
bullets going through Carter's
hat.
Believing Carter dead, Raw
1ings went to the pastor of his
church and told him that he had
met Carter and that when Carter
attempted to shoot him that he
had killed him. The minister
told Mrs. Carter. He doubted
Raw1ins' story, and the first
thing he asked Mrs. Carter was
where was her husband. Mrs.
Carter replied that her husband
had gone out to look for a
stray COW. The minister asked
her if her husbands guns were
at the house. She replied that
they were and showed him two
rifles and shot gun.
MRS. Carter was told what
Rawlings had said, and, accom-
panied by the minister, went to
look for her husband. They
went to the spot indicated by
Rawlings, but Carter was no.
where to be seen. The minister
shouted, as Carter had evidently
not been killed, but had been
wounded and crawled off to some
place for protection.
MRS. Carter said she was sure
her husband would not answer
strangers voice, and she herself
called. The answer came from
a nearby cypress pond, and go
ing there Carter was found in the
water, where he had crawled to
try and stop the flow of blood
from his wounded leg.
1.-THE wounded man was taken
back to his home. Warrants
were Immediately sworn out for
Rawlings, and he was to have
been tried at the last term of the
superior court, but he secured
continuance through the 1eave~of
absence given his attorney. The
neighbors of both families then
predicted that Rawlings would
kill some mem Der of the Carter
family. He made open threats
which reached the ears of Solici-
tor Thomas. The result was
that Rawlings was required to
give a peace bond.
"This was not merely a form
but was looked after personally
by the solicitor, and Rawlings
was required to either go to jail
or give an acceptable bond for
200. He was forced to give a
firm in Va1dosta a mortgage on
his place for 81, 200 in order to
get them to go his bond. He is
quoted as remarking when he
gave the bond:
There's no use in making
this bond, for I am going to kill
old Carter yet"
Rawlings life has been a par
ticu1arly stormy one. AS a re-
suit of fight, in which he sought
to cut an engineers head off with
an ak, he was shot in the jaw and
a large portion of the bone had to
be taken out. Always carrying
a rifle, he had one of his eyes shot
out while changing the position
/ of this weapon on the pom mel of

the gallows tor the murder OF
his neighbor Carter's children,
as related in this weeks Doug
las Breeze, is the best proof that
the old man should hang prompt
ly on the day set for the execu-
ton.
We do not like to publish the
details of his checkered career,
for the reason that it is sad
reflection on our civilization and
an ugly commentary on this law
abiding country, but in the hope
that the ugly story may have a
wholesome effect, we break our
rule for once and publish the
narrative, as follows:
THE feud between Rawlings
and Carter, of Lowndes county.
dates back over five years, says
the Moultrie Observer. Both
were at one time ministers of
the gospel. Carter was for three
years a member of the South
Georgia Conference, while Raw
lings was a staunch upholder of
the Baptist church. Both lived
in Coffee county at that time,
and in the same settlement.
Here, as in many sections, it
is considered a breach of good
citizenship to decline to assist in
a log rolling or house moving.
1t was the failure of Carter to
accept Rawlings invitation to
come over and assist at house
moving that caused the first
breach between the two and en-
gendered i'll feelings that stead
lily grew until the tragedy, for
which five men have been SEN
fenced to death. was enacted.
''At the time that Rawlings is
sued the invitation to Carter to
come over and assist him in a
house moving, Carter was in al
most destitute circumstances.
He had just been burned out, and
had made no crop and on the day
he was to go to Rawlings he had
to go to relatives twenty miles
distant to get a side of meat.
Several days later he met Raw
lings in the road and was cursed
and abused. This was the start.
ing of the fued.
For three years Carriers life
was a burden to him. He was
arrested on a dozen different
charges, all preferred by Rawl-
ings. He was charged with cat
tie stealing, with carrying con-
cealed weapons, false swearing at
the. polls, for uttering false land
titles and other harrasslng char
ges. He was constantly a de-
fendant in court with Rawlings
as the prosecutor until finally he
moved out of the county into
Lowndes. Rawlings also moved
his abode, finally settling in the
same district in which Carter
lived.
"Carter complained many times
that his cattle we're killed by
some unknown person, whom ne
had good reasons to suspect was
Rawlings. His crops were
trampled down and he suffered
other ills.
LAST summer Willie Carter,
the young boy who was murder
ed on the night of June IL, was
bathing in creek dividing his
fathers land from that of Rawl-
ings. The three Rawlings boys
caught him and nearly drowned
him, accusing him of stealing
some of their watermelons.
I'm the trial of case in magls-
trate's court some months ago
Carter's throat was cut by a man
named Mcdonald and Carter al
leges that this assault was instl-
