Men Killed.

Seaboard northbound passenger

head-on collision with a freight train
at Peachland.
1t was reported here that Engineer
Dave MAXWELL and his fireman. Of
the passenger train were killed, but
the railroad authorities here said they
were not certain as to the accuracy
of this report. They said, however,
that the two men We're certainly Sc
riOusly hurt. 1t is believed here they
were killed.

was seriously hurt No passengers
We're seriously injured.
The freight was doubling into the
side track when the passenger train
ran into the rear. The red light put
out by the freight's fagman was given
out and failed to warn the engineer
of the oncoming passenger train.
The track was blocked and traffic
was not resumed until this morning.
The wreck occurred an hour o. Two

GREAT RAILWAY STRIKE.
Possibility OF Il strike of Railroad
Engineers and TrainnIen Which
Would InyolVe the Country.

A Chicago dispatch Of yesterday
pointed to 1.-The possibility of serious
trouble between II western railroads.
and their employees who have demand
ed a Is per cent. Increase in wages.
Information which it is believed, is
from an authentic source. comes TO
The Observer that the case Is much
worse than this. This information 10
hat the brotherhood of Locomotive
engineers of the United states is unxtd
IN q purpose TO make a concerted move
the first of January or early in the
month, upon the management of every
railroad system in the country for an
advanCc III wages. The country a
been divided by them into tour parts
and this is what is called the southern
division. embracing every system south
of the Chic river. There can be no
contract with any single line operat-
ing in North Carolina, for
this is by way OF Illustration only. the
same principle applying eH'rywhere-
with the ~Seaboard Air Lin" N the At
lantic Coast Line, but IL contracts
must embrace all.
It is the purpose of the '"gineers, If
their demands are not anted, to
strike and tie up traffic.
1t Is said that the orders of railway
conductors and of railway fiIemen will
follow the lead Of the engineers and
that all men engaged in the opera
ton of trains will be involved.
The of the engineers is
that while the cost of living has in
creased in thel asst ten years 33 10 so
per cent. their pay has not increased
at all.
If the strike. the possibility of which
is above suggested, should occur, it
would be the greatest and farthereSt-
reaching that the country has ever
known.
The information above is as The
Observer has been able to gather it.

ambitious endeavors, that thorough

WORKS TO SAVE HORSE.

Hospital for Equine Quadruped.

One Of the most interesting Of the
minor incidents at the scene of the
wreck here is Mr. Walter TurbifilI's
%improVised horse hospital in the pine
grove. The authorities told Mr.. Turbi-
fill that il he would look after one of
the injured horses lying on the ground
and keep him from freezing TO death.
il the horse recovered it was his horse.
This proposition he and his brother ac-
ceDted. The horse is a young 4 IL
year-old animal that the shipper, MI.
Heavier, valued highly He was the
last animal taken out of the pit of
death, drawn out by ropes and beams,
in a half-dead condition, SO much so
that he vas one of the four that Wa.
reported as dead. But under care and
feeding and rubbing and general vet
Urinary service the horse continues to
live, has been on his feet much of the
time since, though he still prefers to
keep his bed" by lying out at length
on his mattress of straw N with
blankets over him. He drinks water
and eats in this reclining position and,
apparently, is taking kindly to his

Next Monday criminal court will con-
vene here for one week. Judge Justice
will visit Durham for his first time in
his Official capacity.
The judge and solicitor will find that
Durham will have in waiting a large
criminal court. There are now between
40 and so new cases on docket and it
is expected that there will be a large
number of other cases before the time
comes for the converting Of this court
1t is more than probable that there Will
be from 60 to 20 new cases on docket.
in addition to the new cases there
will be a large number of old cases
that were sent over by the last term
of court. These will swell the docket
and the court will prove to be a large
one. 1t is hardly probable tina the
docket can be disposed of in one week
and as a result many of the cases will
have to be continued. 1t will pc i'm
possible to try all that will be on the

London setting-indeed, a continental
enviTonment-which has drawn the

and sagacity are only whetted by the
fact that the task takes in a more diff

herself unmasked.

made his way back to Paris and the
police. NJ. Cesbon disappeared, but
Nine Guerin was arrested. She relat-
ed that both Hebert and Cesbron were
IA love with Miss Smith, and that the
shooting at the villa was due TO jeal-
