A Fast Express Piunges into an Ex- cursion Train—Forty-Two Per- sons Killed and Eighty Wounded—The Block Op- erator Arrested. Atlantic City, N. J., Juyy 30.—A terrible railroad catastrophe took place on the Meadows avout two mil3s out of this city shortly after 6:80 o’clock this ~ levening, resulting in the deaths of for, ty-two people, so far as now can be learned, and the wounding of eighty others. A train jeft here consisting ot seven cars over the West Jersey rai’— road bearing a special excursion of Red men and their friends of Bridge- ton, N J., and Salem, and had reached the crossing of the Readiug railroad Whenit was struck by the 5:40 down express from Philadelphia, demolishing two cars and telescoping the two follow- ing. The engine of the Reading train became a tutal wreck, killing the engi- neer and fatally injuring the fireman, and the car behind it also was thrown from the track and many of its occu- pants killed or injured. The responsibility of the collision has not yet been placed, but William Thurlow, the operator at the block tower situated at the crossing has been placed under arrest by order of the cor- Leaving this city, the tracks of the West Jersey road run parallel to those ter they cross the Deleware bridge, when they switch off to the south cross- ing the Reading road at aa obtuse an- gle. John Greiner, the engineer of the West Jersey train saw the Reading train approaching the crossing at a swift speed, but as the signals were open for him to proceed on his way he continued. His engine had barely cleared the track of the Reading when the locomotive of the latter train, which left Philadelphia at 5:40 p.m. struck the first car full in the centre, throw- ing it far off the track into a nearby ditch, and completely submerging it. The second car of the West Jersey train, was also carried into the ditch, the third «nd fourth cars being tele: scoped. train was thrown to the other side of the track carrying with it the first The engine +f the Reading coach. A few minutes afer the collision to add to the horror of the situation, the boiler of the Reading locomotive ex- plodea, scalding several to death and casting its boiling spray over many of the injured passengers. Darkness fell quickly and the work ef rescumg the injured and the dead bodies was carried on under the lurid glare of huge bon fires, It was a grue- some sight, to on-lookers as the man- gled and burnt torms oc tae dead were carried from. the wreckage, which bound. them.and, laid side by side, gn, the graval bank near the track with nq olutr pall than afew old newspapers gathered from the passengers., The wounded were quickly gathered togeth- er and carried by train and wagun to the Atlantic City hospital. where six of them died shertly after their arrivrl.

The Number of Pounds Doubled in the Last Year. Any one can see without much trou- ble that ‘xreenville is the coming town of Eastern Carolina. Although receiv. ing two heavy blows—the burning of the brick blocks and the planing mills, yet she pushes forward. In the place of the burned district we now have sev- eral fine brick buildings and more to follow. Up in Tobacco town every warehouse is being enlarged and fitted up to accommodate the great rush that is certainly coming. The fun will cow- mence Monday morning and there will be a general awakening of business. We were talking Friday with Mr. J. It. Moore, railroad agent, and in the run of the conversation he said that the number of puunds cf tobacco shipped from Greenville, over the Coast Line had doubled in a year. From August Ist, 1894, to August Ist, 1890, there were shipped 2,627,461 pounds and from August Ist, 1895, to August 1st, 1896, 4,674,889 pounds, You can rcad- ily see that that we are growing and the coming season he will handle over 9,000,000 pounds. These figures only show the number of pounds shipped over the railroad and does not show what was shipped by the 0.D.s.8 Co’s line. Glad to Have Him. J. S.

The Rertector was right in its suggestions Friday that the round trip cate from Greeanville to Morehead for the Sunday School Chatauqua would be $3.15. Last night’s train brought Agent J. R.

These instructions make no provisions for selling tickets at this rate later than the 4th, so we don’t know how those who wish to go on Friday, 7th, can aet the ben tit of the low rate, they can purchase. their tickets on the 4th and hold them until they are ready unless to go.

WASHINGTON LETTER. acm ier r (Frem Our Regular Correspondent.) Wasuincton, July Jlst, 1896. The gold democrats are slowly but surely lining up for Bryan and Sewall. Already one member of the Cabinet— Secretary Hoke Smith—has declared for them, «and three other members, whose names I am not at liberty to mention at this time, have intimated their intention to do the same. Secre- tary Smith has not only declared bis {ntention to support the ticket, but he has said that if be can possibly arrange his time so to be there he will accept the invitation which has been extended him to preside over a big Bryan and | Sewall ratification meeting to be held at Augusta, Ga. August 12. Senators Gordon, of Ga., and Lindsey, of Ky., who are both gold men, were’ in Washs ington this week and they announced . their intention not only to vote for Bry- an and Sewall but to work for their election, Senator Gordon has already notified chairman Jones, of the National committee, that he is ready to take the stump for the ticket. at the pleasure of the committee. These things indicate a gettiig together of democrats that means victory. The District of Columbia democrats are preparing to take an active part in the campaign ; they can’t vote, but they can help to convince those who do vote to vote the right way. A Bryan and Sewall club this week adupted resolu- tions repudiating the democracy of those Federal officials who are drawing salaries by the grace of the democratic party and who have publicly opposed the regular democatic ticket. It is ex- pected that the big democratic ratifica- tion meeting which will be addressed by Mr. Bryan will be held in one of the large tents used by the late Christiaa Endeavor convention. The local dem- ocrats hope to make this meeting the a ing the great money power and corpo- -|rate interests of the country we have x fight on our hands that calls tor united efforts and determined work to the elose of the campaign. — Representative Russell, of Ga., who has just returned from a trip to Boston, says: I found the citizens ot the ‘Hub’ talking more about the money question than the people of Washington «re, if such a thing is possible. To my ulter surprise I found that a goodly per cent of them were in favor of free silver. Men who were in a position to know assured me that the cause was making jrapid strides in every New England state, and that if the gain maintaned its present ratio Bryan would surely carry one or two of them. There wasn’t:a word to be heard about Me- Kinley or the tariff ; all the enthusiasm was on the side of Bryan and silver. Though personally an advocate of sound money, I am convinced that the people of this country have made up their minds to try the other system, and that Bryan is going to be elected President by a tidal wave majority. There is considerable growling among the more prominent Republicans at Mark Hanna’s dictatorial ranner uf running things, and among themseives they are recalling the last campaign in which a wealthy business man under- took the duties of chairman of the Re- publican National Committee, to show the politicians how a campaizs ought to be run and ended by seeing Blaine, the most popular Republican ever nom. inated for President, deteated. The other millionaire chairman was B. I’ Jones, of Pittsburg. Hanna seems to rescind some of these Republicans of Jones, and the Democrats are con fi- dent that his management of the cam— paign will have the same result—the defeat of the Republicans. TOO HOT.

Labor ofgani- zations like the Knights of Labor will not, as organizations participate in the campaign, but the members in their 4ndividual capacity will.

The Dejected Young Mau. “Woman,’’ said the dejected young man, ‘‘is a fake.” ‘“Yes?”’ spoke one listener. “Yes. it has not been so many moons since I saved up all my bil- liard money and lived on beans tw weeks to blow myself on an opera and a supper for a young woman. Then I asked her to marry me, and she said she Was afraid I was too extravagant to make a good hus band.’ —Indianapolis Journal. Built a House In a Bottle A few years ago the writer saw a genuine curiosity which had been made by alittle blind boy in Chi- cago. It was nothing more or less than a miniature house, made up of forty odd pieces of wood, which was placed on the inside of a very com- mon looking four ounce medicine vottle. The general verdict of all who examined the wonder was that it would puzzle a man with two good eyes to put the pieces in the bottle, to say nothing of the task of gluing them together so as to make them resemblo a house.—St. Louis lio.

Russians are born gamblers. But mere cards did not satisfy the crav- ings of this Mecklenburg princess, whose religious convictions, strange to relate, are so strong that alone of ‘all the foreign wives of Russian grand dukes she has refused to aban. don her Lutheran faith for the or- thodox church. Nothing but roulette would please her, and as she goes ‘out a great deal in society at St. Pe- tersburg, and as it became known ‘that roulette was indispensable for her enjoyment, tables were soon or- are all na salons that she ‘freauented,-~ Westminster,.Gazatta | | | | | | moderate abilit Tit i } Wy GIVES YOU TEE NEWS FRESH EVERY AFTERNOON (EXCEPT SUNDAY) AND WORKS fFOR sv HESRFFE™ —INTERESTS OF.
