FIRES INTO TRAIN Z
SOME vANDAL CAME VERY NEAR
KILLING YOUNG LADY.
Wh. Stata '1.,.ssenger on the Train
and Neas 4 re Bullet Hit
Window,

The Augusta Chronicle says Miss
Sally Morgan, a resident Of Turpir
Hill, Augusta, Ca. had a close and
harrow escape from instant death
while returning to Augusta Tuesday
night as passenger on. the C. &
w. C. railroad, when, just as the
train passed the aqueduct near the
Sibbley mill, pistol bullet crashed
through the window next to where
she was sitting, barely missing her
head.
The shot came so unexpectedly
the young lady tainted, and it took
the kind assistance of the other pas
sengers in the coach, with the aid
of ice water and handkerchiefs, to
revive her. Every attention was
shown her, but it was sometime be-
fore she regained complete conscious
ness.
At the time the pistol was fired
Miss Morgan was resting her elbow
on the window sill, and she says
owing to the glare of the electric
light she could not tell with any
degree of certainty from which tdirec-
tion the bullet came, but thinks II
was fired from the canal bank. She
says further, in locating the spot
that the shot was fired near where
the Clark assassination took place
sometime ago.
1T scared me to DEATH" she said
at her home, "and it is a wonder
that am not a total nervous wreck
never was so prostrated in all
my life. / am unnerved right now
and will never forget the incident
as long as 1 live.
This is not the first time that
l have met with such an occurrence,
AMI the last happened on the same
roa5, too. At that time some one
hulled a large stone through the
window glass, just missing me. 1t
seems as if the fates are pursuing me
and l feel wary of riding on the
trains in the future"
1t is believed that the bullet was
fired at close range, as it cut an
even hole through the glass, leaving
weblike crevices. 1t is probable that
had it been fired from long distance
it would have completely shattered
the glass. Even as it was, though,
particles of the glass lodged on the
trimmings of the young ladys hat.
She has bits of it as souvenir OF
the narrow and most unfortunate oc-
currence.

SMOKE CREATES PANIC.
In the Subway Five Hundred Feet
Beneath the Street.


Five hundred hysterical women,
screaming children and panic-strick-
en- men fought their way through a
dense smoke in the Mott avenue sub
way station in the Bronx, New YORK
city, early Thursday, striving to es-
cape.
Only one elevator was available
to take them to the street, which is
65 feet above the subway level at
this point, and the crush to reach
this exit or the five flights of stairs
which led to the surface increased
the panic.
Fifteen persons were overcome by
smoke and two men were injured SER
hously enough to require hospital
treatment. Fire in an automatic
pumping station caused the smoke.
The damage was nominal.

One Soldier Kills Another in a FistieuG

Hits Curbing and Death Ensues.

agreement.

agreement.
The Charleston Evening Post says
Private Fry, Of Company 144, coast
artillery, at Fort Moultrie, was
knocked down in a fight with anoth-
er soldier, said to be Private Murray,
and did not recover consciousness,
following the contact OF his head
with the curbing in front of the
post exchange. Murray is under ar
rest at the Fort and will have to
stand trial for the death of Fry.
1t appears that the two soldiers
were at the post exchange, and got
into an alteration over some matter
or other, and Fry is reported to have
struck Murray with chair, which
brought on a fight and it was pro-
posed to settle the difficulty outside,
after the manner Of the hardy SOL
diers. This was at about 8:45
o'clock. Outside the two soldiers
squared off, for their fight, and Muir
ray is said to have hit Fry blow
which knocked him down, and as
he fell the soldiers head came in
contact with the curbing, and he lost
consciousness, which he did not re-
gain, death resulting.
The death of the soldier caused q
profound impression among his
mates, who were astounded\ by the
unexpected outcome of an ordinary
fsticuff, such as is frequently indulg-
ed in among the fighters Of the var
Ious companies. Private Murray was
placed under arrest after the fight,
and is in a serious predicament. He
was terribly shocked by the result
of what at first promised to be only
trifling matter.
Little or no official information OF
the affair could be gotten from Fort
Moultrie Thursday, but the story
was current on Sullivan's Island, and
Frys death gave rise to general dis
cussion of the trouble.
Murray, the soldier under arrest,
is Of the same company as Fry was,
and is we'll known in Charleston,
where he appeared in the guise Of
clever and aggressive prize fighter,
meeting Billy Yeager in the local
ring for three hard battles, before
the Nonpareil Club. 1t is said that
Murray did not wish to fight Fry.
AT the hospital on the island it
was thought that strangulation had
as much to do with Fry's death as
did the blow on his head, for be-
fore he fell he also received blow
to the stomach that caused him to
vom.t.
