FIERCE FIGHT.
NEGRO ATTACKS ENGINEER IN
HIS ENGINE Dab.
The Negro Fireman Made No Wort
to Help the Engineer In
His Battle.

Engineer J, L. Lsonard, OF tbs
Southern railway, had a desperate
fight with a negro in his engine oat
Thursday morning just after he had
left Kingsville and was about thirty
miles above OFaugeturg. His left
ear was ohewed nearly of by his
%ferocious assai)ant, Daniel Goodwin.
who afteward made his escape. vii.
liam Wilson, the engineers oolored
fireman, did not raise his hand tc
help bis superior.
just outside f Ktngville Thursday
morning, while Engineer Leonard
was urging his engine to speed In
order to get the morning passenger
train from Charleston into Columbia
On time, Daniel Good win, a negro who
had acted as fireman for Mr.. Leonard
and who hsd been discharged some
ten days before, leaped upon the on.
CINE stcps a I'd made bis way into the
cab Of the engine. He announced
that he was going to ride to Oolum.
| bia.
Engineer Leonard ordered the bip
negro of the locomotive. 1t would
have been against the rules to let him
ride. GOodwia refused to go. The
engineer stopped the engine tn put
the negro off. Goodwi seized q
i'e.vy monkey wrench and made a
deadly swing with it at tho engineers
leSd He saw the blow coming lust
In time and slid down from his seat
he grarpled with Goodwin, and then
began the fight. l. was the en-
ainecr'S task to pr vent G, edwin
rom braii iAg bin with the wrench,
and at the sane time t. put the
desperate fellow e the engine.
The negro wa; forced steadily back
ward by Mr. Leonard, who is not 5
big man, but who is we'll musoled.
But Goodwin got q brace against the
beck OF the cab and Mr.. Leonard,
head brushed against his face. In
staEtly, with tue instinct Of o bull
dog. G )odwin crushed the engineer'a
car between his teeth, and chewed.
The pain was horrible. The engineer
succeeded in tearing away, and then
1t was that Good win made his esoapc
from the Cab, and disappeared into
nearby woods. Ha seems to be n dos.
perate fellow, and had an ally In Mr..
Leonarus negro fireman.
Although In great pain, the en-.
gineer drove his engine into Column
oia, and there was sent to the infrm
airy and received treatment. He re.
turned to Charleston Thursday uight.
1t Ia thought that Goodwin will be
captured, as he lives In the neighhor.
mood Of the place whore the assault
was made. The Charleston PJst says
Mr. Leonard iss well known in Char.
lestGn. He hsR been ans engineeE o.
the Southern railway FL many years,
and Is y good man. He was able tc
receive visitors Friday, but will lave
trouble with that I'M lred ear for some
time to come. Reports about his in

natives have at one time taste for q
special kind OF mud, as the habit IN
creases the depraved appetite soon be-
comes satisfied with bricks and brok-
en- pots. White ant soil, with the nests
and ants themselves, is a great deli
cacy.
The reasons given for indulging in
the habit are classified under the fol-
lowing heads: /. A peculiar fascin-
ating odor and taste in the clay, rem
'dering it delicacy. 2. An unnatural
craving, due to disease 8. To satisfy
hunger. 4. Force of example. S.
Supposed medicinal virtues.
A university graduate confessed to
friend that the bland earthly odor
was great temptation to him, and
the thought of it made his mouth
water. He always enjoyed the odor,
he said, when April showers fell upon
previously parched earth.
The effects of the habit are disas-
trous. Those women addicted to 1t
very soon complain, first, of pain and
weakness In the limbs, and then pal
pitation and difficulty of walking

all the other symptoms of anaemia are

Didn't Care For the Storm.

Captain William P. Stone of the
artillery corps, who is now stationed
at Fort Hamilton, tells this story of
an officer Of the volunteers who
served in Cuba during the Spanish
American war:
Many of the volunteer officers were
careless about their accounts, and did
not pay the attention which the regu-
latiOns require in the matter of keep
ing track of their company equipment.
When the war was over and the regi-
ments were ordered home to Re mus-
tered out, therotllcers suddenly renle.n-
bered that an accounting was coming.
The books and papers of some of the
regiments were terribly tangled.
The. Suty of STRENGTHENING out the
affairs of one of these organizations
fell on major, and from the time the
transport left Cuba he worked like a
company of expert accountants try
ing to unravel the tanglc. Every day
he became little more disguised.
When the transport was off the Geor-
gian coast terrific storm swept down
upon it, and the majors fellow officers
were greatly alarmed.
do you think we are going to
sink?" asked one.
Don't bother ME. sI don't know.
I'm not up on storms. Ask the cap
tain of the Ship" the major told them.
One after another during the day
the officers sought out the major, who,
in spite of the rolling of the ship, was
still working over the muddled ac-
counts. They wanted to know about
that storm.
eve can't possibly weather this, do
you Think" was the question from a
ranking officer. Il guess our end has
come"
The major could stand it no longer.

don't know anything about storms at
sea-" he snapped; 'but 1 do know
this; I'm willing to give up my life
to get rid of you fellows and these
accounts"
