Engineer Injured.

Chester, April 81. M. Sellers,
engineer of the Southern local freight
No. 63, was painfully injured last
night at Blackstock, Chester county,
about 12 miles from here, when his
engine, which was temporarily in
charge of his fireman, split the
switch in leaving the siding, and
turned over on it's side, pinning the
engineer beneath the massive frame
work, Of the cab. The engine turn
ed almost completely over on its
back, leaving the drivers up in the
air and still running. But for the
fact that the engine fell across a
shallow ditch Sellers might have
been instantly crushd to death.
Luckily the little ditch afforded
him enough space to squeeze from
beneath the tons Of iron and steel.
Mr.. Sellers was accompanied to
Charlotte last night by DR.. S. G. Mil
ler, the local physician of the South
ern Railway. He was placed in the
Presbyterian hospital. He is severe
ly bruised about the face and neck
and has a compound fracture of the
wrist DR.. Miller returned from
Charlotte to-day.

The Jury Stood II for Acquittal and
One For justification.

ment of nine jurors is sufficient to re-
cord a verdict in all cases except
where capital punishment is involv-
ed. Three ballots were taken by the
jury. After the first ballot last night
they reported to the court that an
agreement was not possible and
Judge Peavy told them to continue
their deliberations. The second bal
lot to-day brought eleven of the
twelve men into agreement and the
verdict was reported at 1890
o'clock
On the first trial Mrs. McRee was
charged with murder. A mistrial
resulted and the State at the open
ing of the second trial changed the
charge to manslaughter.
Has Three Children.
Mrs. McRee, who is the mother of
three children, wife of we]lknown
railroad man and related to promi-
nent families in Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, has all along maintained
that she shot and killed Allan Gar
land because he insulted her. II
was excited" she said, land shot to
protect my honor"
Unsuccessful efforts were made by
the State to prove that too intimate
relations existed between Mrs. McRee
and the boy she shot and it was
hinted that her motive was jealousy.
1t was admitted that the two were
often in each others company, but
the defence maintained that Allan
Garland mistook Mrs McRee's friend
ship and sought to dishonor the
home of his friend and neighbor.

Charged with Aiding Outlaws.

Hillsville, Va, April 6.-Reuben
Edwards, another kinsman of Sidna
Allen, the fugitive, was arrested to-
day, charged with aiding the out
laws to elude capture. He was lock-
ed up here tonight with Jordan Ed
wards, a second cousin, who was
taken into custody on the same
charge two days ago. He is II years
old.
The detectives say young Edwards
is the man whom they have seen on
a white horse dashing about myste-
riously at night in the mountains.
Edwards declares he has not seen his
uncle, Sidna, or Wesley Edwards
since March IA, when the court house
tragedy occurred.
More arrests are looked for on a
charge of aiding and abetting the
fugitives, though it is believed Gov.
Manns proclamation warning the
people against assisting the outlaws
will have good effect Detective AL
bert H. Baldwin returned here to-
night after a twenty-four hour visit
with a posse in the Blue Ridge, but
declared no trace of the two men
had been found. He said no trail
had been obtained for the blood
hounds to work on since the fugi-
tives were lost in the fog last Tues
day.

Opelousas, La, April 2.-Mrs. Zee
Runge McRee, who shot her young
friend, Allen Garland, to death in hel
home here September 21 last, was to-
day acquitted by jury of the charge
of manslaughter. The jury stood II
for acquittal and one for justification
as charged.
Holding her golden-haired little
daughter, Valera, in her arms and
with tears streaming down her cheek
Mrs. McRee arose as soon as the fore
man had announced the verdict.
your Honor she said, may
thank the jurymen?'
Judge Peavy readily granted the
request and the happy little woman
walked over and shook hands with
each juryman who had voted for her
acquittal.
Husband Thanks Jury.
Her husband, tall and robust, with
deep lines of sorrow and worry
brought by the two trials, clearly de-
picted on his face, jumped to his feet
and with. arms stretched out to the
jurors exclaimed:
"Gentlemen, please allow me to
thank you and may God bless each
one of YOU
All smiles and all tears, husband
and wife embraced and then. turned
to grasp the hands of their many
friends who had rushed up to offer
congratulations.
There was a pathetic picture on the
"other side" With i'll concealed bit-
terness and expressions of detection
and disappointment, the verdict was
received quietly. While the McRees
were jubilant and joyous, the Gar
lands gazed fxedly upon the skull of
their dead relative, which had been
brought into court to prove that the
boy was shot in the back.
Demonstration Stopped.
Judge Peavy promptly checked the
hand clapping demonstration Of the
sympathizers of Mrs. McRee and in a
few minutes the principal in the
noted trial had passed out of the
court room.
Mrs. McRee and her family prob
ably will return to Texas to-day.

Our Yellow Peril

That the so.cco.oOo people OF the United
States annually consume more opium
than any other nation of the world. China
not excepted. is the statement attributed
to DR.. Hamilton Wright, foremost au-
thority on the drug habit. as he was
sailing for Europe to attend the inter-
national opium conference as one Of the
five delegates from the United States.
The facts must be accepted as DR..
Wright gives them. But still IL is in
credible that the United States should
lead the world in this form OF depravity
should use more smoking opium an
nuaily than six great European nations
put together. DR.. Wright tells us that
this is not detail Of the Chinese prob
lem. II Chinese problem may be con-
sidered to exist. The Chinese introduced
the use Of opium among US. but the
habit has spread far beyond the widest
estimate of the capacity Of our compare

report at The Hague conference on the
part OF the United States will OF sheer
necessity be In the nature OF the humiIi-
ating confession.
Il must be borne In mind. In consider
ing DR.. Wright's statement. that the mar
cotic effects OF opium can be employed
in many different ways. not the least Of
which rs its use In some proprietary
medicines. But the same effect is there.

smoked or taken in some solution. the
only difference being In degree. We have
been plying China We have felt that
the crumbling Of its government was due
