Aiken, Special-On Saturday night
a party of miscreants threw rocks III
to the incoming S:36 passenger train,
just below the freight J.pot, striking
three passengers and breaking four
window glasses. The crowd was IN
the pine grove below Woolsey's wood
yard, and was composed of several,
as all the rocks were thrown about
the same time. Mr.. Ralph Berrie of
this city was struck by large rock
upon his face, making an ugly cash
and another gentleman and a young
lady were struck. each receiving slight
injuries. Mr.. Berrie was knocked il
sensible for while. He was car
ried to DR.. Croft when he received
medical attention. There is no clue
to the perpetrators Of the deed.

PRES. FINLEY SPEAKS
southern's Executive Delivers Ad-
dress Before Number of Represea-
tat;ve Business Men Under Aus
pices of Mobile Commercial Club.

mobile, Ala, Spec1al.-Presldent
w. w. Ftndley, of the Southern
Railway delivered an address before
a large number of representative bust
ness men under the auspices Of the
Mobile Commercial Club. He was
introduced by Vice President E. L.
Russell, ofgthe Mobile & Ohio Rail
road. President Finlay said in part:
The commerce of the United
States withthe Latin-American coun-
tries is NOW growing more rapidly
than that with any other part Of the
world and the completion of the
Panama canal vii give great i'm
petus to the development of all the
countries soath Of the Rio Grande.
1SThere arg only two ways of react-
ing marketsArail and water. Meth
er is sufficient alone. Water trans
portation is not adequate for interior
commerce, nor by itself for coaswise
or for foreign commerce. Rail trans
portation must stop at the shores Of
the sea.
"It wouldsbe just as logical for the
people to array themselves against
water transportation or to undertake
to hamper aid cripple it as it is for
them to arraS Ssthemselves against rail
roads and toffavor success which will
hamper and cripple them.
9I think it is apparent that any
public policyLtoward the railroads
which limits their power to increase
their facilities and their carrying ca
pacity to keep pace with, or to even
anticipate the active production of
the Southern people, is destructive OF
the best interests-of the vital inter-
ests-of the people themselves.
sit is unnecessary to point out 10
intelligent business men that the pow
er of railroads to increase their ia
cilities is dependent upon their earn
ing capacity and their credit or that
their credit is dependent upon sus-
tained earning capacity. The roads
cannot expectsto earn enough from
their neutrality-suspicious. to provide
themselves with the facilities abso-
lutely essential in the interest of our
people. The money must be borrow
ed.
ttI do not believe, that, with a full
knowledge of the facts and with
full appreciation of the destructive
consequencessto the railroads, to their
revenues, and to their capacity 20
serve the public, either the Govern
or the Legislature would have favor
ed the Legislation in question and
when the true facts are known, I.have
supreme confidence that the course

DEATH BY COLLAPSE
Great Pier in Baltimore Harbor
Tumbles In
THREE DEAD AND l6 MISSING
General Superintendent Edison, of
Baltimore Bridge Company,
Among the Injured, Being Caught
While Warning Workmen off the
Pier.

Baltimore, Special.-A section Of
the new pier being erected at the inn
migration station, at Locust Point,
South Baltimore, for the Baltimore
G. Ohio Railroad for the use of the
Moth German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany, collapsed Saturday, carrying
down between 20 and 25 men of whom
three are known to be dead, 16 miss
ing and Is injured, most of them la
borers. Among the last named is w.
N. Edison, general superintendent Of
the Baltimore Bridge Company,
which had charge Of the steel con-
struction. He was caught while
warning the workmen off the pier.
The dead so far as known are:
Howard L. Ellender, Baltimore,
Engineer.
Tony Wolf, Baltimore.
Robert Sweetman, Woodberry.
Ellender lost his life trying to save
the men on the outer end of the pier.
Superintendent Edison, who was in
j,red in the performance Of the same
vessel, was not seriously hurt.
All the victims were employees of
the Baltimore Bridge Company. This
was two-story building 1000 feet
long and its estimated cost was $780,
600. About 4SO feet of it sank.
Warning of the disaster was heard
several days ago when the piles TO-
ward the end Of the pier began set
tling and vigorous efforts were being
made to save the structuh
Saturday shortly before the disas-
ter occurred the piles began settling
in such an alarming manner that or
ders to leave the place were circulat-
ed among the fifty odd workmen and
it is due to this fact that the casual
ties were not greater. Those caught
were on the end of the pier on the
roof.
The falling of the pier into the
water created a tremendous wave in
the harbor and led many persons 10
believe there had been an earthquake.
AT Speddens ship yard, directly
across the harbor from Locust Point,
the water suddenly dropped eight
feet. throwing two men overheard
from a marine railway. They were
rescued with difficulty.

clock. Definite accounts are hard to
get but according to those obtained
the first place struck was Hughes,
near Tirzah where a barn was blown
down and negro house turned
around. 1t jumped to Mr.. j. II. Bar
ry's, where it unroofed his gin house
tore up his barn and killed valuable
mule. Thence the storm went to Mr..
Tom Steele's in India Hook. The
report from there is that his house
was badly demolished and that Mr..
Steele was himself hurt. There was
a great deal of wind here at the time
but no damage was done further than
blowing down some fences.

At first the druggins story was ac-

Estes and those in sympathy with
them deny that there was an assault,
and point to young Estes behaviour
after his return as inconsistent with
anv other view. He himself procured
the physician for the young lady, and
the next day went about his business
with entire unconcern. General re-
eret is expressed that Judge Loving
did not allow young Estes an oppor-
tunity 10 explain, and some say that
he shot too soon. Criticism has been
made Of the smallness of the bail
bond. The case bids fair to excite
ss much interest in this section as The
