Engagements or gold were made by ma

In an interview with H. E. Friee,
president of the company, it was
learned that the chief engineers
Office in this city will be main

opinion that the suspension of
the work would only be tempo
rary. This action, it is held, is
the result of adverse rail way legis-
lation in North Carolina and 9TH
or Southern States, which has &C.
riously affected the Southern rail-
road stocks, making it more diff
cult to get financiers to put their
money in new goods. the large
amount of money already expend-
ed on the Southbound, however,
leads those who are interested to
believe that the road will be built
as soon as recent railroad legisla-
lation can be analysed and the

KILLED IN A DITCH.
Six Workers In Excavation TO SeWer age
Meet instant Death.

The 'Statesville Landmark oil
March 18th, contains an account
of a terrible accident which oc.
Cured at that place on the previ.
Gus Friday.
Six negroes who we're working
in a deep ditch we're instantly
crushed to death by a cavern of
the sides of the ditch. The I'M
fortunate victims were Arthur
Grant, Dillard Stockton, John
Wood, Riley Howard, Lee Moser
and Belvin Williams.
The men were at work putting
braces in the ditch where the cave
in occurred, when the the fatal
accident took place. The alarm
was given at once and help sent
for. A force was soon on the
ground and they set to work to re-
move the dirt from the buried
men. 1t took nearly two hours
to reach the first and it was found
that he had been crushed to death.
The other bodies were recovered
and were sent to the homes of the
deceased. Memorial services were
held the following Sunday at the
colored Methodist church, a large
number of the white citizens of
the town being present.
The Landmark says, in conclud-
ing it's account of the affair:
"There vas no necessity for an
inquest and none was held. No
attempt is made to place respon-
sihility for the accident, if any
can be placed. It occurred and
cannot be helped now. There
will probably be claims for dam
ages on account of the death of
the men and how the settlement
will be made is to be determined.
The Landmark believes thac It
speaks the sentiment of the com.
munity in saying that the white
people want what is proper and
right done for the families of the
victims, this to be determined in
whatever way will b. mutually
agreeable"

CAR ROBBERY CHARGED.
Detectives Of Southern Railway Make Ar
rests which Cause a Sensation.

There has been something do
ing in official circles at Spencer
recently, in connection with hu-
merous car robberies which have
taken place.
Last Wednesday night special
agent Siegel, of the Southern,
placed under arrest S. P. Vail, a
white brakeman. Vail having
confessed that he had aided in a
number of the robberies spoken
Of. These robber'es have been
going on for a long time and the
officers who were looking into the
matter failed to secure any Salts
factory clue. 1t was believed
that members Of one of the train
crews had been doing the work,
but tt ere was no positive evidence
of this. Suspicion had been di-
rected to the freight crew of Con-
ductor A. L.. Pritchard. On the
night March 18th, Mr.. Seigel fol-
lowed Vail and a companion to a
lodging house. The officer Sc.
cured a room adjoining that of the
two me- and listened to their
conversation. He heard Vail re-
late to his companion the story
of the robberies, how they we're
committed. who took part in
them, etc. Vail spoke of Con-
ductor nritchard beingimplicated.
Vail was promptly arrested and
the next morning Condu c
Pritchard was taken in custody
by Sheriff Krider, on a warrant
charging him with robbing cars.
1t is believed that u number of
other arrests will soon follow.
Several persons are under suspi-
cion and they may be arrested at
any time. 1t is considered highly
probable that the Southern may
be able to break up this a rob-
bing business, for awhile at least.
