Clock Weights Fall Through Floor.

Clock Weights Fall Through Floor.
Darlington, Sept. 1.-THE weights
of the town clock became separated
from the fastenings last night at
about IL o'clock and crashed through
the third floor and ceiling of the the
atre building, landing on the second
floor and almost crashed through
that floor and the ceiling of the, Sec
ond floor.
The noise was enough to create a
panic on the square had it occurred
while stenographers and others were
busy in the Offices. It is quite likely
that several deaths would have oc-
Cured had the accident happened
during the day.

"I'm Through and Want to Die"

Greenville, September 15.-Im
through with this world and l want
to die" was the statement made by
w. B. Butler, who lives at CAN'T sta
ton, about five miles from the city,
Just before he made an attempt to
commit suicide by taking a big dose
of laudanum.
Mr.. Butler came to the city Tues
day for the purpose of attending 10
some business matters and Wmie
here he had a little trouble with his
brother, P. S. Butler, a real estate
dealer of this city, who Wouldn'
agree to some business proposition.
Butler and a neighbor left the city
late in the afternoon, and, after they
had gone good distance from the
city. Butler made an excuse to leave
the wagon and go to the woods. Al
ter a short time he returned to the
wagon. The other man noticed that
Butler. after returning to the wagon,
had acted strangely and had a sleepy
appearance. Butler told his com
panion that he was through with TINS
world and wanted to die; said tnat
everybody had gone back on him and
the world was against him. He had
taken two ounces of the deadly drug
and was losing consciousness.
The friend who accompanied Mr..
Butler, seeing that his life was slow.
ly ebbing away, made haste TO get
him home, where he could summon
a doctor. Doctors were soon at ms
residence and, after working with
him all night, he is now entirely out
of danger.
Mr.. Butler, on two previous occa-
sions, has attemped to commit sui
eide, and this attempt came as little
surprise, as it had been threatened.

NEAR-wREcK AT BRATTLEBoRo.
When Express Sideswiped String of Cars
Near Station.

Brattleboro, Oct 30.--The Boston &
Maine Montreal express due here at
.5;4I Saturday morning narrowly escaped
being wrecked about a quarter of mile
north OF the Brattleboro station at 620
o'clock, when it came into collision with
two loaded freight cars, which had par
tally run onto the main line from n
siding. Several passengers were cut
with flying glass and John Wales wrist
was broken.
The damage to the train was heavy.
Six cars of the train were sideswiped
and the engine had the cowcatcher and
other parts torn of
The train, composed of 10 cars, Of
which four were sleepers, was AZ min
utes late and was travelling at the rate
of about 30 miles an hour. All OF the
steps on one side of six cars were torn
off and every journal housing was brok-
en-. The large compressed air tank along
side of the boiler was stripped off and
four cars we're derailed. The sleepers
were uninjured
The train was in charge of Conductor
Spear of White River Junction. The en-
gineer was c. +. Ellis of the same place.
The fireman was John Johnson of Spring
field, Mass A local Boston g. Maine
freight, in charge Of Conductor Stratton,
pulled eaboose from the siding and
kicked three freight cars back ON to the
siding There is a grade on the siding,
and apparently the brakes on the three
cars were not set sufficiently tight.
The freight cars had run down so close
to the main line that the express locomo-
tive hit the first one a terrible smash
and toppled it over down the bank to
the edge of the Connecticut river The
second freight car was also struck and
thrown half over. The first car was cut
in two lengthwise, Before the express
could be stopped, IL had travelled $50 feet
beyond the point of collision.
That the train crew escaped injury
is little short of miraculous. The fire.
man was not on his seat, and had he
been leaning out Of the window, as he
would have been few seconds later,
he would doubtless have been killed. As
the collision took place on curve, the
view of the engneman was obstrueted.
Five mail clerks We're thEown the entire
length of their car and escaped injury.
II was necessary TO temporarily relo-
cate about 200 feet OF adjoining track to
allow trains TO pass. The wreck was
cleared away and the crippled cars re-
moved Saturday afternoon. A train
was made up and the sleeping cars sent
on to New York about Q o'clock.

Wells viii Rank With Dickens, Says
American Authoress.

In the American Magazine for 0cto-
Der, Mary Austin, author of "The Land
of Little RAIN etc. writes an apprecia-
ton of H. G. Wells, whose new serial
novel, Marriage" is to appear in the
American Magazine. She says;
Barring the accent and a difference
in taste in neckties, it is possible to
find most of Mr.. Wells men in Indiana,
but his women are all Englishwomen.
There is sometimes touch OF the meth
cd of Balzac in the sense MIR. Wells
gives Of having got to the bottom Of
his male characters; there is nothing
left in the crucible. But II is conceiv-
able that OF his women the best of them
might have known the novelist better
than he knew them. But Mr.. Wells
i an avowed feminist, and has been ac-
tive in the dramatic struggle now going
on In England for the enfranchisement
of women, and this failure of the world
touch in the delineatiOn OF femininity
might very well be due TO the fact that
women themselves are not yet nodded
to the world type, but retain longer
than men the stamp of their particular
environment It is the possibility that
Mr. Wells may be able to pass even this
limitation that gives the FLIP Of in
terest to his forthcoming novel Mar
rage, which il to begin in the Novem-
Der American Magazine. II he can lift
the subject out OF little London, into
the universally achieved in 'Tono Bun
gay he win at the same time raise
himself to a citizenship in the world
OF human understanding not attained by
any Englishman since Mr.. Dickens, and
by few before him."
