The following lines were suggested to the mind of the author after reading the ode by entitled Loves But which was published in the Reflector a few weeks since. That woman loves but once seems song. to accuse her tints deem it is She has a love that's M strong, as sweet life. And would perish by him whom she wife. Hi r love's pure as the early morn. When the May are being born. And the birds are warbling forth their sweet song. When its seems that naught could . to think wrong. Yea, her love's as gentle us zephyr breeze, That's wafted from Heaven o'er pure crystal Before it leashes sin-cursed, foul laud, Made obnoxious by the fall of pure man. Oh, yes. lier love's deep. And her promise at th attar sacred she will keep, Which to love and cherish while life shall hat; But it's not after the spirit to Heaven has Yea, she is true to the lesser half of her life. Which man becomes when he takes her to wife. Hut she only promises to cherish while life shall bat, death another strong hand she may clasp. And make the same promise as she did before, When at the altar she solemnly thus I will love him keep him, in sickness and health. And will not forsake him in poverty or wealth. The second pledge she takes is valid as the When another she accepts for better or worse; Tor Hod doesn't bind one to a spirit that's flown. Because then it's His, no longer her own. Yea, say, woman may sincerely love twice. And when death interferes she often thrice. So I'd not mind being a second love at all, If to protect some woman God me should call.

A Passenger Train Plunges Sown a Trestle, HALF HUNDRED PEOPLE KILLED AND WOUNDED. The Most Horrible and Heartrending in the History of North Carolina. Statesville, Aug. most horrible accident in the his- of North Carolina, railroading occurred at Bridge, over Third Creek, two miles west of Statesville, on the N. C. R. R. Passenger train No. which left Statesville on time, jumped from the top of the bridge into the creek below a dis- of seventy-five feet. The train was moving rapidly when it struck the viaduct. Sud- there was a swift and terrible lurch and plunge and it left the track, going down to the bottom. There was no time to get a mo- warning of the disaster, and escape by jumping, and, as a result, the engineer, fireman, bag- as well as the con- and porter of the sleeping cat, were all killed- The engine, tender, baggage, second and first-class coaches, sleeper and a private car, are a huge mass of debris at the bottom of the creek. Two of tho who escaped came to town on foot, and aroused the citizens. a short while a great crowd was taking out tho dead and wounded and them. In one car were a company of firemen from Asheville, who were returning from tho tournament at Durham. Many of were killed. It is impossible at this hour to give the number of deaths, but it is supposed to be near thirty. Twenty-three dead bodies have been out and two of the in- have died since. A OF THE DEAD.

Superintendent Bridgers was not aboard. His car was being hauled empty to Asheville. A car load of convicts arrived from Newton early this morning and the wreck is being cleared. The bridge is not damaged in the least and trains were soon running over it. WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT It is supposed that the recent rains, together with rotten ties, caused the track to spread at the approach to the bridge. . The railroad authorities claim that some tramps removed a rail near the bridge and that this caused the As soon as the roadway was in- it was at once believed that malicious persons had so the rails that the train would leave them and dash off the viaduct. The east bound train had passed over the viaduct only an hour and a half previously. The Statesville Landmark's ac- count says It is supposed that as the engine, which was making to miles an hour on a down grade, struck the bridge, the track spread. Why it should have done so is accounted for by the fact that the ends of the ties at the approach to the bridge were found to be LATER NEWS. Statesville, Aug.

The j party of bathers was quite large and j the spectators on the beach were j numerous, They were splashing in fun and frolic in the surf and had j ventured tar when one on the beach casually remarked that they had far, and observed that they were drilling southward. Soon there was observed an unusual and throwing up the hands the bathers, but the waves were high and their conduct was supposed 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- on the beach, as described to us, beggars reproduction.

The gen-- who were bathing were sup- porting as best they could the ladies who were fainting and exhausted, and they were fast giving way. Some tho Dearest to the shore were borne out by the swimmers from the. beach. Miss Helen Martin was first to reach the shore; Miss Marguerite next, but the surf was full of the struggling.

A gallant boy, Dave Whitehurst, swam in the breakers, took the end of the surf rope in his teeth and bore it to Martin who seized it, wrapped it around Miss Badham and himself and was dragged ashore. Miss Kate one of the bathers, was 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 water two minutes. She and Miss Badham were the last that were res- cued. They were brought ashore, unconscious and apparently with life extinct.

Under his direction such restoratives were used as avail to restore life hut not conscious- and Miss was not re- stored to consciousness until late on Wednesday.

The Reflector a huge will be found a profitable medium 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. Mr. Harrison that be shall a man from that ion to the v and the Republicans of the northwestern States have made a like demand.

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. Young The theory that rain can be pro by the explosion of hydrogen gas and similar serial disturbances received some support from the success that has attended the first experiments in Texas. A large loon filled with hydrogen was sent up a mile a ex- Powder was exploded over two miles of territory, and a of dynamite was attached to kites and at the altitude of a thousand feet the air. An ace tint says that it began to rain and rained four hours. The next day similar success attended the experiment. People are getting to be mighty smart as the secrets of nature are laid bare and the powers of the unknown world are brought subjection to News -Observer. 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 parts excessive rains cause more damage to crops than drought. Now if some other fellow will get a trick by which the rain can be stopped the farmers cry enough the combination will be find themselves pinioned under the mass of debris, utterly power- less to extricate themselves, no hand near that could come in re- to their cries for help; and as they lay in the dense feeling the ponded water slowly rising upon their bodies, the was increased by the full that a few moments at least and they would be strangled to horrible It makes the heartsick to think upon these things.

Mrs. S. E.
