The train was moving rapidly

track, going down to the bottom.
There was no time to get a mo-

result, the engineer, fireman, bag-

It is supposed that as the engine,
which was making to miles an

should have done so is accounted
for by the fact that the ends of the

party of bathers, which came nigh
resulting in a fatal tragedy. The
j party of bathers was quite large and
j the spectators on the beach were

they were drilling southward. Soon
there was observed an unusual

to be only the ebullition of playful-
but a moment more revealed
their dangerous condition. They
had gone beyond their depth and the
dangerous under-current was sweep-
them out to sea, and what was
supposed to be play was a life
in the presence of death, and a
cry for rescue I hat was inaudible in
the When their con-
was realized, the scene of ago-

could rushed into the surf to

missing. She was stumbled over by
Julian Wood, who was assisting Miss
Badham. Miss was
brought on shore apparently lifeless.
It is supposed she had been under

unconscious and apparently with life

through which to reach the public.
Nothing ever occurring in North
Carolina sends a thrill of
horror through the mind of the
reader as the particulars of the
awful accident on the Western N.
C. Railroad, near Statesville, last
Thursday morning at o'clock.
Imagine a swift flying train, with
a load of soundly sleeping human
freight, being hurled at the dead
hours of night over a bridge into a
chasm nearly four-score feet to the
bottom. The hushed stillness of the
night is broken by the rumbling,
grating sounds of u terrific crash,
followed by heartrending shrieks
from the mangled and groans
the dying. On the ill-fated train
no doubt were passengers who re
tired to their berths the early
hours of the night with
of greeting their loved ones
on the morrow, who never awoke
from the peaceful slumber into
which they had fallen, being
hurled to instant death in the
shattered cars. Others, perhaps,
did arouse to momentary con-
only to find themselves
most excruciating ago
from which death soon re-
them. Still others were
aroused by the terrible shock to complete.
The Reflector fails to see any
good that is to emanate from the
bitter controversy that has
going on the last few weeks be-
tween the News and Observer and
the restive at
or to narrow it down to a fine
I point we might say between Capt.
Ashe and Col. Polk. The affair
attracts more interest just at this
time than it would under ordinary
circumstances, because of efforts
making in certain directions to
create strife between the Alliance
and the Democratic party. If
there ever was a time when there
should be no ill will, no ill feeling
no divisions between the Alliance
and the Democratic party it is
now, when enthusiasts in the Al-
are clamoring for a third
party and hot headed Democrats
are trying to read the Alliance out
of the Democratic party. Very
true Capt. Ashe is not the Demo
party nor is Col. Polk the
Alliance, but occupying the
they do they both have
friends and supporters, and this
between will have a
tendency to engender a strife that
reaches further in its influence
than to the combatants them-
selves. Instead of coming
from such a course, it points to
harm on both sides.
Capt. Ashe and Col. Polk have
not had the best of feelings for
each other for the past few years
and to their readers this
can seem little else than a
personal matter, and their col-
might be filled with far more
interesting matter then the
they have been at
each other.
Let us have peace.

the northwestern States have made

the recent judicial decision that the

under a U. S. to prevent
it, and has the Indian
to seize all found the
Territory. The attorney General
holds that the decision of Judge
Bryant of the
of Texas is good law until it is
reversed by a higher Court,
that decision dealers have
right to sell beer to
pay for all the beer seized by the
Indian agents.

by the explosion of hydrogen

received some support from the
success that has attended the first

This is all good enough so far as
it goes, but the question that arises
is what is to done in cases of
too much rain About these

The Reflector has gleaned the
most interesting parts of par-

from the accounts given in the
daily papers and the Statesville
Landmark, which will be found on
first page.
The people of Statesville did
everything that could be done for
the dead and dying. The two days
following the wreck all business of
the town was suspended, and
everybody was at work at the
scene helping in removing the
bodies, ministering to the needs of
the wounded, or preparing the
bodies of the dead to be forwarded
home to then sorrowing friends.
They left nothing undone possible

She knell and said her simple prayer,
Asking the dear Lord's Under care.
That while her eyes were sealed in

He would her soul and body keep.
A stranger sat within the home,
A whose wont it was to roam.
Who had no God, no church, no
In his hard creed, no sins forgiven;
No faith, no hope, no bed-time prayer,
No trust in God's protecting care.
He watched at first half mockingly.
The child beside her mother's knee,
With eyes and folded
hands,
While o'er her shoulders golden
strands
Of fell down, snow white
Peeped from her gown all fair and
neat.
now I lay down to sleep,
X pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep;
I should die before I wake,
I pray then, Lord, my soul to

Wafted her simple prayer above
The proud map listened, and
So full of sin, doubt, griefs and fears.
Seemed blotted out, and he,

A child, was the floor,
Beside hie mother, while he prayed,
The same prayer as this little maid.
Dear childhood's prayer, so sweet, so
strong,
With power to the heart so long.
And the trust of years away,
Until the scorner longed to pray;
And humbly, ere he went to sleep,
Besought Lord his soul to keep.
