Rock HILL, October 1.-THE fre-
quency with which Rock Hill people
are figuring In accidents is growing
unpleasant. Yesterday at Belmar,
N. j., while driving in a hack with
her three children, Mrs. Edward Stitt,
wife of Surgeon Stitt of the u. 8.
navy, was struck by freight train
on the Pennsylvania railroad. The
hack was smashed and the occupants
hurled in different directions Mrs.
stitts left leg was broken In three
places, the youngest child, an infant
is perhaps fatally injured and the two
oloer children, Edward and Mary, are
more or less cut and bruised. Tele-
grams received here last night by rel
atives indicate that they are all get
ting along as we'll as could be ex-
pected. They are in hospital at Bel
mar, and Mrs. John r. London, who
sent the kilograms, Is with them.
Surgeon Stitt, who is now in the Phil
ippine islands is a Rock Hill man and
was reared here by his aunt, Mrs,
London. Mrs. Stitt and children have
spent good deal Of time in Rock
Hill, while Surgeon Stitt was upon
sea duty.
Only last week Mr.. w. c. Whitner
Of this city figured in an accident on
the Pennsylvania railroad.
The new front Of the White block
on Main street is just completed and
makes very great improvement upon
former appearances and conditions.
The building was injured In the earth
quake Of August 81, 1886 and has
gradually been growing worse until
whole Of the old front was torn
away and handsome new one of
steel and glass put In. The three
stores on the ground floor now have
what Is known as full glass fronts,
there being no wood or other mould
ing joining the edges of the heavy
plate glass. Nickeled clamps are
used instead and the joiIIts otherwise
filed with cement.
Messrs. Crawford and Roddey, who
are preparing the ground for the
erection Of handsome store and Of
fee building on the site Of the old
Oakland lodge K. Of p. for some time
in regard to building for Il a perma-
nent home as a third story to the
building The proposition last sub
mitted by these gentlemen met with
favor on the part Of those knights
who met at the Commercial club
Tuesday evening to consider IL, and
a committee composed Of r. T. Few
ell, ]. r. Barron and Walter M. Dun
lap, ESQ.,, was appointed to look into
the right Of the lodge In the matter
of disposing Of funds on hand, etc.
The matter will be finally disposed
Of at the meeting Of the lodge and Ii
is very probable that the Castle Hall
will be built.
At a recent meeting Of the city coun-
I'll permission was given the Catawba
Rifles to use the city hall for an ar
mory. They have moved into their
new quarters and are well pleased.
The change is a very desirable one
and met with general approval. Not
only is 1t the proper place for them
and relief in the matter of expense.
but 1t is in the very heart Of the city
and convenient for an emergency call.
The old quarters were too far re-
moved from the business district and
rather isolated.
Miss Eva Martin Moore, daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Leonidas Moore.
formerly of this county and city. now

the 18th instant to Mr.. II. w. White

Miss Moore who until two years
ago had lived all her life in this COM
munity, is well known and justly pop
ular here. She is graduate OF Win
throp college. and has taught In Mar
on and Rock Hill before going to
Asheville.
The party Of Seaboard surveyors
engaged on the line from Shelby. N.
c., to Spencer's crossing on the G. G.
& N, near here have brought their
survey within three miles Of Rock
Hill and have pitched their camp In
the Hutchinson grove In the northern
portion of the city. They. will run
their line into Rock Hill tomorrow,
but as yet II cannot be said exactly
here they will enter. They survey
ed two routes over Kings Mountain
one over "the steppes" and one over
the Glover road crossing near the
Pinnacle. That over "the steppes" is
practicable and there would be no
tunnelling necessary at all.
