TRAIN HAND KILLED.
VIII Campbell Run Over by Engine
at Greenwood.

Greenwood, March 11.-Will
Campbell, a negro train hand en-
ployed in the Seaboard local yards,
had his legs cut off while at work
in the yards early Wednesday morn
ing, and died several hours later
from the effects of his injuries. He
was run over shortly after 2 o'clock
and died at 5 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
1t appeared that Campbell was at
the switch waiting for the engine
to go up to the tank and return. 1t
would seem that, as the engine came
back, he attempted to jump on, but
missed his footing and fell under
meath. Both legs were cut off.
The switching crew was in charge
of Yard Conductor Meaders and En-
gineer Pittman. Mr.. Pittman stated
that the. engine was going about
two or three miles an hour. Camp
bell was an excellent train hand,
knew his business we'll, and it seems
more than likely that it was case
of accident. It was said at the in
quest that Campbell said before he
died that he did not see how he could
get hurt.
A coroner's jury was impanelled
and the following verdict was render
ed: "WiIl Campbell came to his
death by accident on his own part

Senator Tiliman and Mrs l'illnan
Spent Short Tine in
THE CAPITAL CITY
The Senator Talks With Much Inter
est About His Fight on Crum and
How He Held Up Sixty Senators
By Relating "reminiscences
Reconstruction.

Columbia. March 11.-Senato =
Mrs. Tillman spent couple OF l as
in Columbia today. Senator Tillman
was on his way home from the meet
ing Of the trustees of Cler- ~on Col
lege. Mrs. Tillman had been on a
visit to relatives at Greenwood.
Senator Tillman looks remarkably
well. He said that he had never
felt better. His face is well filed,
his complexion rudjy and healthy,
and altogether he looks well. He is
6eyoting himself to indoor exercise
and says it is fne.
Senator Tillman says that the
Clemson board transacted consider
able business. The board has asked
that Major Marcus B. Stokes, origi-
nally of Hampton county, be detailed
to Clemson College as commandanr
to take the place Of Capt. Minus.
resigned.
Senator Tillnan expects to spend
9 month in Trenton. as he does not
think the Democrats can do very
much in the tariff situation, and he
IS satisfied that the Republicans will
carry out their policies.
Senator Tillman said he did not
know what President Taft would do
with Dr.. Crun. He had heard moth
ing whatever about any appointment
for DR.. Crum and would not be sur
orised il he were not appointed to
any place, nor would he be surpris-
ed Sc he were given some place in
Washington.
Senator Tillman talks with much
interest about his fight against the
confirmation of the appointment OF
Or. Crum, and said that one Of the
remarkable things about his fight
was for hours he held up sixty SEN
ators, while he was relating his re-
niniscences Of reconstruction and his
fight with McLaurin.
The senator says he feels quite
vel! enough to go out on another
Of his lecture tours, and incidentally
he thinks that the wild talk IN
which he INDUCED while on his lee
turing tour had done much to clear
up the atmosphere with regard tc
the race question.
Mrs. Tillman says that Senator
Tillman is not to go on any lecture
tours, but she is quite willing for
him TO 90 to Europe again.
Senator Tillnan continues to be
much interested in the Navy Yard
at Charleston, and says that he had
the work there well cared for IN
ehe appropriation bill, and that as
long as he is alive the Charleston
yard has nothing to fear. News

Fifteen Years.

Laurens, March 10.-For the first
time in about fifteen years Lau-
rens jury has returned straight YER

dation to mercy. This occurred this
afternoon in the Court Of General

will be recalled that Anderson shot
and killed old man Joseph Carter
at the Cedar Grove church at the
funeral of one of Alderson's child
rem. He shot him in the back, and
without immediate proyocat1on.
Anderson will very likely be sentenc-
ed on Saturday.

assault were tried today In the
General Sessions Court, one against
a young white man, Albert Duncan,
accused of attempting to raVish
Young girl in Waterloo Township,
the home Of both. Duncan was

POISONING SUSPECTED.
Body Of a. White Farmer Has Been
Exhumed.

Greenwood, March 12.-The body
Of Mr.. Anderson, who died several
weeks ago, was exhumed yesterday
and the stomach taken out and sent
to a chemist for examination.
Certain developments made the
family suspect that his death was not
duet to natural causes. Mr.. Ander-
son was well-to-do white farmer,
living about five mile west of town.
He was found dead the Friday night
before the very cold weather in Feb
ruary. He had left his house after
dinner to go and fix pasture fence
He did not return, and when
searchers found him he had ben dead
several hours. The ground around
his body was torn up, indicating that
he had died after a great struggle
The night of his death a cat at the
house died in a peculiar manner, anc
the next day all the other cats there
died very peculiarly.

liams and Charlie Weathersbee,
game wardens Of the Langley game
preserves, Butler W!eathersbee, the
Langley constable, and a party OF
fishermen who were fishing on the
preserves without the knowledge and
consent of the wardenS, got into a
fight, which ended with several OF
the fishing party and one of the
wardens' party being shot.
It is said that Pink Williams and
Charlie Weathersbee went out to
the preserves to see that no fishing
was being done. Upon arriving at
the pond they found the party fish
ing with nets Weathersbee wished
to have a witness for the Illegal
fishing and sent Williams back to
Langley to bring another man as
witness. While Williams was gone
the party Of fishermen, it is said,
gave Weathersbee only short time
to leave, and he left within the CIV
en- time.
In the meantime Williams, who
had been sent back for witness, re-
turned with Butler Weathersbee, the
Langley constable, who is broth
er OF Charlie Weathersbee, and Will
Buck and Cole Watson. Williams,
Weathersbee, Buck and Watson went
over to the party Of fishermen and
asked what had become Of the other
Weathersbee The party seemed ig-
norant Of the fact that they were
constables that had come for their
arrest, and told the officers what
they had done to Warden Weathers-
bee. Upon the officers trying to ar
rest the party, the fishermen open
ed fire.
The fight ended when Charlie
Weathersbee was wounded in his
left arm. Jesse Bush, one Of the
fishermen, received wounds in both
legs below the knee, and hole
through his hand. He made his es-
cape, and it was thought he was
dead. Later his hat was found, in
which there were 16 holes. He re-
turned to Langley yesterday morn
ing.

ceived shot in the head. Ripley.
also fisherman, was shot in the
head. The fishermen are said to have

A HUGE CAVE
Found In The Adiron dacke Up
per New York
RIVAL THE MAMMOTH
Extensive Rooms Under the Mountain
Near Standish, n. Y, Which Are
Yet to Be Explored Gives
Some Measurements and Tells Of
the Pits Which Are Deep.

Saranac Lake, n. Y, March TO-
Capt. E. E. Thomas, an old-time
woodsman. has discovered a great
cave in secluded part Of the Adiron-
dacEs which may rival the famous
Mammoth Cave Of Kentucky. Thorn
as chanced to strike the entrance to
the cavern on the summit of noun
tain seldom visited by travellers, or
sportsmen, some time ago, but kept
the matter secret until he could make
an Investigation.
Taking a companion with him,
he entered the cavern for 1000
feet, and as the end was not reached,
the extent of the cave from that
point on is as yet undetermined. 1t
is situated on a mountain known as
''W" Mountain, not far from Stand
ish, N. Y.
In describing his discovery, the
old ,woodsman said: "The mouth is
about fifty feet wide. The first room
is fifty feet long, twenty feet wide
and thirty feet high. 1t swarmed
with bats, which lined the walls and
seemed scarcely able to move. There
was a decided smell of sulphur. In
the next room, which was about
forty by fifteen feet, we found pas
sages branching in many directions.
and were unable to explore all of
them.
: with only the feeble rays of a
lantern to guide US, we several times
narrowly escaped falling into pits.
You can imagine how deep some of
these were, when I say that we had
time to count fifteen and twenty be-
fore rocks we dropped into them were
heard to strike-and we did not
count rapidly. An elk's horn was
found by us far inside the cave.
after going short distance from
the mouth there was no vegetation.
There is no opening at the base of
the mountain and there are no
streams in the cave so far as we
have yet discovered"

Been Done to Outlying Districts

Montgomery. Ala, March IA
This city is threatened with the
greatest flood known in its history.
There is danger tonight of the city
being thrown into darkness, the wa
ters threatening the steam plants
of both the electric light companies
and the gas works. The residents
of north Montgomery were warned
today to move Immediately and all
day the police aided families in get
ting to places OF safety.
Across the river from Montgomery
there is a sea of water extending as
far as the eye can see. The tops
of trees wich formerly stood high
on the banks are barely discernible.
The water is over the Louisville and
Nashville railroad tracks at the foot
of Commerce street, and the Union
Railway station is in danger of be-
ing flooded
From Elmore county vague re-
ports are being received about per-
sons cut off by the high water on IS
olated spots only few feet above
the food. The United States gov
ernment boat Twining has started
on six mile trip up the river to
rescue party reported marooned
on an island. Sunday the Twining
will visit the negro settlements and
other plantations along the river.
Information reached the city this
afternoon that the Tallapoose river
has broken over it's retaining banks
on Lower Wetumka road and that
several plantations were flooded.
The state convict farm is completely
isolated and it is predicted that Sc
rious trouble will be experienced
there. Roads ara submerged, max
ing traffice extremely dangerous from
washouts.
Since noon the merchants of We
tumpka have been moving their
goods from stores and business is
practically suspended.
Lowlands Of middle Alabama are
submerged for many miles and while
no loss of life is reported, a great
many head Of live stock are believed
to have been drowned.
The Tallapoose river, which emp
ties into the Alabama river nine
miles north of Montgomery, is a
raging torrent. This river sweeps
around the fine convict farm of the
State which is under water. The
most serious effect of the high river
here is from the back waters which
have submerged the negro section
and are encroaching on the manu-
featuring district.
In Selma the plant Of the Stand
ard Oil Company has been abandon
ed and if the predictions are verified,
water will be pouring into the power
plant of the Selma light company be-
fore nightfall tomorrow.
In Gadsden the big lumber plant
of the Kyle Lumber Company is sub
merged and the damage will be con-
siderable.
From Selma tonight comes a re-
port that the home of negro family
in Kings Bend, south Of that city.
was swept away during Saturday
night and the husband, his wife and
one child were drowned. The names
are not known.

Clement A. Evans, commander-in-
chief Of the United Confederate Vet
erans and chairman of the prison
commission of Georgia, advocates
chloroforming criminals who have
received the death sentence.
81 believe the law has no right
to do more than take mans life, y
said Gen. Evans. "No living man
should witness it. The death cell
should be air tight, and the man who
is to die should inhale the very
breath of death itself and should die
painlessly and alone. Any Other
death punishment is nothing short
of barbarous. Even this is bac
enough
Gen. Evans had already qualiflet
this statement by declaring himsel
opposed to capital punishment TO-
