FORGOT ORDER; THREE DEAD.
Engine and Freight Train Crash Near
Winnsboro-Three Men Killed and
Three Others injured in
Wreck on the Southern.

Columbia, October 14.-A fast
freight and light engine on the
Southern came together near Winns-
boro this morning in head-on
collision. The operator forgot to de-
liver an order and three men are dead.
Another will die. = Is. =.
The dead are: = p
D. M. Dixon, white, conductor, on
engine. .''
James 7. Mcpherson, Jr., white,
fireman on light engine.
Henry Pile, engineer on light en-
gine. 'a.. .'''
The injured are:
James G. Price, white, engineer on
freight.
Charles D. Weir, white, brakeman
on freight.
Forgot important Order.
Through freight No. "a, north
bound, carrying load Of lumber and
other goods, left Columbia on Tins
this morning at 2.10 o'clock. Orders
were given by the dispatcher hers
showing that extra engine No 1926,
south bound had the right Of way Of
the track to Winnsboro. The order
was never delivered to the crew Of
the freight train. The operator at
the Blanding street station of the
Southern gave the conductor and Ell
gineer Of the freight two other orders
and obtained their signatures, but he,
for some reason, failed to transmit
this one. His name is Bolick, and he is
a young man just in his twenties.
Two miles north of Winnsboro, at
the sixty-nine mile post, on what is
known as McMaster's curve, the
freight and the light engine came to-
gether at 5.07 O'Clock. The extra
engine had the right of way to Winns-
boro according to the orders, under
which the engine was running and
also according to the orders which the
freight crew should have had.
The fireman Of the freight, Henry
Gates, saw the engine coming down
OIL the train and had barely time to
tell Engineer Price, who got to the
gangway in his effort to jump and
was caught there, while Gates was
terribly crushed.
Crushed Without Warming.
The crew Of the light engine may
never have known that the freight
was not on the sidetrack at Winns-
boro. No one Of them seems to have
made an attempt to jump and all
three of them were killed.
The news was transmitted to the
division officers here very quickly,
but the wrecking train was out OH
the Augusta branch, putting freight
cars on the "ack, and it was almost
noon before II . ~ be sent to the
scene of the wreck. t was found
that nine cars were smashed, the en-
gines badly injured, but not rendered
worthless, and 200 feet Of track were
torn up. -. 49,.

JUDGE TRULY PUTS
HIMSELF ON RECORD.
FIRST GUBERNATORIAL CANDI-
DATE TO DECLARE FOR A
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
AS REMEDY FOR EXISTING
DEFECTS.

Judge jeff Truly, one of the officially
announced candidates for Governor, is
the first gubernatorial candidate to go
on record as favoring constitutional
convention to remedy the defects in some
of the organic laws of the commonwealth
that are now being made the subject of
so much discussion.
Judge Truly was in Bay st. Louis a
few days since on "still hunt" He
expressed the opinion that a constitu-
tional convention will be the most feas-
able plan of disposing of these matters,
and he believes that the necessary steps
should be taken for the assembling of
such body.
"That the southern portion of the
State is now suffering from all of the
causes referred to is perfectly manifest
after even a casual investigation of the
subject" says Judge Truly.
This brings the question squarely in
to the campaign for Governor, and the
proposed constitutional convention pro-
misses to become very live issue, and
may alter the entire tenor of the fight
for the goVernorship.

Wolf and Jordan Rivers.

A press telegram from Washing ton
yesterday contains the following inter-
esting intelligence concerning the work
of dredging Wolf and Jordan rivers,
bills introduced and carried by Congress
man Bowers, of this district: "The
Chief of Engineers, General Mckenzie,
has transmitted to Congress report by
Major w. E. Craighill upon the prelim-
mary examination and survey ot Wolf
and Jordan Rivers, with view to the
removal of the bars at the mouths there
of. The proposed improvement con-
sists in dredging channels feet deep
and 100 feet wide to the 6-foot curve in
Bay ST. Louis. The estimated cost is
$4,000. with 5000 annually for main
tenance.
The report has the approval of the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and Har-
bors, which expresses the opinion thai
the present and prospective commerce
of this locality is sufficient to justify
the United States in undertaking the
improvement.

EstopinaI Bill Prevents Return to
Louisiana for Residence.

Baton Rouge, La, June 25.-The first
cousin bill of Representative Adam Es-
topinal, of ST. Bernard, is calling for
considerable attention. It's provisions

account of relationship within the pro-
hibited degrees, who shall leave this

acquired domicile in said State, and
shall return to the State of Louisiana

tracted marriage in another State, shall
be punished by imprisonment in the

Governor James K. Vardaman was
among those invited to attend the recent
convention of county supervisors held
in Hattiesburg.
The Governor sent a letter of regret,
which letter went to Purvis and was
therefore not received by Mr.. Treen, to
whom it was addressed, till after the
convention adjourned.
Here is what the Governor says:
Executive Department,
Jackson, Miss.
Mr.. J. w. Treen, Purvis, Miss.
My Dear Sir-Official business, which
has accumulated in my office, renders
it impossible for me to attend the con-
ventiOn of the Boards of Supervisors OF
Mississippi, regret this for the reason
that the work outlined by you in calling
this convention needed to be done in
some way by somebody.
Two things are of vital importance to
the State: First, equalization of taxa
tion-placing the burden Of the expense
of the government upon the citizens in
proportion that he is able to bear it.
And, second, to bring about change
in the system of distributing the money
for public school purposes. I think there
is also much merit in the demand of the
people of South Mississippi for larger
representation in the Legislature of the
State. 1t strikes me that the only way
these differences can be adjusted would
be by a constitutional convention. And
| want to say, in this connection, that
do not share the apprehension of GER
tain gentlemen that it would be unsafe
to trust the people at this time in con-
5titutional convention lest they undo
some of the good work accomplished in
1890. | believe we can trust the people
at all times, and instead of entertaining
fears that they will go backward, feel
quite sure that the example of 1890 will
serve to lead them on to better, nobler
and more satisfactory things. I hope
the work of the convention may be pro-
ductive of good.
Regretti7g again my inability to be
with you, am,
Cordially and sincerely, your friend,
JAS. K. VARDAMAN.

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Garig, Denham Springs,
La, says: "During the last ten years we
have used Royaline Oil extensively, for
almost every purpose, internally and
externally, on man and beast. 1t has
never failed us, and do not hesitate to
pronounce it the greatest of all the pain
medicines and antiseptics known to me,

Mr.. T. D. Blount, Colyell, La, says:
'sMan never used better preparation
for colo, cramps, sore eyes, sore throat,
and especially burns, than Royaline
Oil. Iii as good for stock as for hu-
man beings, and cannot be surpassed
for either"

GULFPORT.
Judge j. II. Neville Delivers an Ad-
dress to the Citizens.

Gulfport, Miss, June 26.-Hon. J. H.
| Neville, the President of the Business
League of Gulfport, who has been in
Washington in the interest of the pas
sage of the Bowers Bill, addressed the
League and citizens of Gulfport in the
Harrison County Courthouse tonight,
impressing upon the large audience
present in his pleasing manner that it
was not only what had already been ac-
complished, but through concerted ac-
ton of the Business League and the
people what also was available for Gulf
port in the future, now that the import
ance Of the port was established, and
the United States Government had
adopted this port as one of the nations
children.
Mr.. Neville referred to the indomita-
BILE will and dauntIess spirit of the Con-
gressman of this district, Hon. E. J.
Bowers, and the debt of gratitude the
people of this city owe to him and his
associate, Hon. B. G. Humphreys, of the
Rivers and Harbors Committee, also
calling their attention to the memorial
presented to the Rivers and Har bors
Committee by the State Legislature, all
of which are factors attaining this end.
At the conclusion of Judge Neville's
speech, Captain J. T. Jones was called
upon and gave the people a hearty talk.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by the members of the
Business League:
"Be it resolved by the Progressive
Business League and citizens of Gulf
port, Miss, That the thanks of the Pro-
gressive Business League and the citi-
zens of Gulfport are due and are hereby
| rendered to the Rivers and Harbors
| Committee of the Congress of the

the Gulfport harbor, for the report
made by them on the same, for their

The edict has gone forth from the
dancing masters that the "strangle hold''
in the waltz will no longer be tolerat ed,
but the dancing, to be in good form,
must hereafter be done at arms length.
1t is a very good idea. Grace and pro-
priety both demand it. The waltz, pro-
perly danced, is the most beautiful ex-
ample of the 'poetry of motion" Dane
ed as it is usually done, it is fit only TO T
such rag time balls as that famous one
where "Mr. Johnson" hugged his ssba-
by up so tight he nearly choked her,

A MEMORABLE
1t GREY Out OF the Last Great sIav,
Auction In This

1t Grew Out of the Last Great Slave
Auction In This Country.
The last great slave auction held In
this country occurred just n year and
q half before the war-in October, 1859
lat the race track in Savannah. The
slaves were the property If Pierce
Butler, II picturesque and prominent
figure at that day in Philadelphia so
ciety, who is today only remembered
as having been the husband OF Fanny
Kemble, the actress, cader and au-
thor. His family name was Mease, but
he inherited II fortune in lands and
slaves from his grandfather, Major
Pierce Butler Of South Carolina, on
condition that he should take the lat.
ter's name.
Buffers inyeteratc passion for gam
bling got him into financial difficulties.
1t is said that he lost $4,000 on IL sim
gle hand-four deuces against four
kings held by his opponent.
FinaAy, to meet his losses, Butler
was forced to sell his slaves. There
were 0SS of them in all. The sale took
two days and melted $3O3,S $50. Butler
had chosen IL good timc to sell. A year

worth Il dollar n head. But the sale
would have been more profitable had
1t not been announced us one of the
conditions that no division of families
would be permitted; hence in order to
secure n good slave buyers often had
to take with them infirm or aged rela-
tives. Out of this limitation grew a
memorable tragedy. Tom Pate, II well
known Vicksburg trader, bought at the
sale II man, his two sisters and his
wife, with the guarantee that they
should not be separated. Disregarding
this, Pate sold the sisters, one to Pat
Somcrs, n brother trader, and the 9th
err TO II resident of st. Louis. What
legal rights Il negro had in the south
were well protected. Somers was told
Of the guarantee, and he sent the girl
back to Pate and demanded his money.
A quarrel was the result, md Somers
was shot dead. Ten days later his
nephew killed Pate and died from
wounds received. The fcud was kept
up until every male bearing the name
of Pate was wiped out, and then the
war liberated the sisters.-New York

Got What He Asked For.

Among the best of the stories told by
Russell, II Of the Scotsman's former
editors, was an instance of the innate
cl%everness of the newspaper boy. Rus
sci had entered Il train at Princes
street station, Edinburgh, one Friday,
when n smart little newsboy immcdi-
ately called out to him, Scotsman,
sir!' How much?" said Russell jok-
lngly. "a penny, sir" replied the boy.
"Oh," said the editor. 81 don't want
today's Scotsman, but if YOU could give
me tomorrow's / would give you n SOW
ereign for it." Here You are, sir!" de-
liGhtcdly shouted the youngster and
handed him the Weekly Scotsman,
which bore the date of the following
day. Russell paid the sovcreign.-Lon-

Blacksburg. The tag indicating it's
destination was old, and bore the adj
dress of a firm in Linesdale, Rhode Is
land. The express messenger there
fore sent the entire edition to Rhode

the good it would accomplish he would
