There Is probably more in the

many an Horatio dreams of. A
perusal Of the little handbook of
Birds, Game and Non-migratory
Fish Laws OF South Carolina" issued
by the Audubon Society will proba-

WRECK NEAR sPARTANBuRG.
Train Goes Into Open Switch-En-
gineer and Fireman. Killed.

, Spartanburg, Sept. 25.-Southern
passenger train Nc. Al was wrecked
last night at o'clock by plunging
into an open switch near Groce's sid
ing, thirteen miles from here, killing
Engineer w. J. Fonville, Of Green
vile, and his fireman.
The train was running at fair
rate OF speed one mile south of Well
ford, when the open switch was
struck, the shock being so great as
to send the engine plunging to one
side, striking the tie ends and turn
ing turtle. Under the massive loco
motive were buried he engineer and
fireman, being instantly crushed to
death, their bodies remaining under
the mass of steel and iron wreckage
for an hour or more.
With the engine went The baggage
car, which also turned over, the bag
gage master sustaining injuries
amounting to a broken leg.
Wrecking crews and physicians
were sent out from Greenville and
Spartanburg as soon as news Of the
disaster was received. a number of
passengers were badly shaken up, but
none were seriously injured.
A man reaching Wexford, one mile
from the scene of the disaster, at a
late hour last night declared the
wreck to be one of the worst he had
ever seen. He gave graphic ac-
count Of the disaster, having been in
one Of the rear cars when the engine
struck the open switch. He declared
that the sound Of Kissing steam and
the general aspect Of the disaster
were most sickening. The dead en-
gineer and his fireman lay partially
concealed under the ponderous en-
gine, having been probably instantly
killed either by the escaping steam
o. by being crushed to death beneath
the fearful weight.
Engineer Fonville was popular
among his fellow workmen in the
railway colony. He was married and
resided with his family at 1906 Bun
combe street, Greenville. The name
OF the dead fireman could not be
learned last night.

upon the notice posted on the ginnery
Of Mr.. Willimon, near the city, by
so-called night riders, and the proba-
Bile result thereof. The fact that Mr..

carry out their threat, but this they
