It was go ing 40 miles an hour when near the Qloster station It struck a broken rail. The engine and several cars went over safely but a Pullman and one first-class passenger car left the roadbed and went Into a ditch. The Injured were In these two •cars. Their hurts consist of cuts and bruises. If there had been more ser ious consequences the railroad would have bad difficulty In caring for tbs victims, as the surrounding country Is sparsely settled and few If any doctors were at band.

The trouble started In town at 4.15 o’clock. John D. Warren, ithe negro, came to town and after par taking of too much Christmas li quor, quarrelled with Qua Newberry and finally drew a revolver and threatened to kill Newberry. The negro was finally chased out of town by persons who had aeen him flour ish a revolver. Marshal Roberta beard of the af fair and he, with J. D. Mosely and J. W.

ELEVEN UFE TERMERS MANY CHIMES MAH HOLIDAY. MESSAGE TELLS OF M ASSACRE. Worst CAiristmaa In Fourteen Years, Hays Police Chief. "The worst Christmas In my four teen years of experience," was Chief Boyle’s summing up of Monday in Charleston. All the officers, says The Nfws and Courier, commented on the long list of arrests and all were of the opinion that they ha.^-, never seen a Chrlstn^* equal That Said Party Captured by Indians Ex pected Soon to Die. What Is believed to be evidence of an Indian massacre which took place In the earliest pioneer day of Oregon has been uncovered by the little daughter of L. C. Denison, at Salem, Biggest Batch of Convicts liberated in Booth Carolina in Years.—Some From Penitentialy, Others From County Works.—Offences From Non-Support of Family to Murder. Thirty persona held In the South Carolina penitentiary and In the county Jail received their liberty Sat urday at the hands of the governor of South Carolina when a record for pardons and paroles was made, says the State. Briefly stated, there were 11 llfe- t'lms prisoners freed Nine of these prisoners were convicted on a charge of murder. One waa convicted on the charge of burglary and larceny, ajid the other on a charge of arson. Sev en were convicted on a charge of manslaughter, the sentences ranging from five to 25 years. Several had been convicted on minor charges, and one was pardoned to restored citi zenship. Viewing the act of the governor from an economic standpoint, and considering the pardon record for a day made possible by the constitution of the State, It means that this Stale was deprived of the service of con victs aggregating 23 V years. This Is for unexplred terms. The estimate Is made upon an average of 20 years for a lifetime prisoner. The average length of service Is probably longer. A liberal estimate of the value re ceived by the State for the service of a convict for one year Is 1100, which would make a total of 123,900 lost in labor. There was clemency granted In 30 cases. Legal statisticians have esti mated that It costs about J5 00 to con vict a prisoner In this State. This would mean an additional 115,000 court expenses Incurred Taking the sum total of the expenses and value to State, the governor expended |2 8,- 900. Of the 11 lifetime prisoners to re ceive clemency at the hands of the governor, Samuel Ree, the Chester county wife slayer, Is probably the most known than many others. He was convicted In November, 1899, for killing his wife while she slept In hU home. The case at ths time at tracted a great deal of attention, and public sentiment was against the man. He has served 12 years of a life term. The parole was granted during good behavior. English Missionary and Wife As saulted by Brigands and Left for Dead, but^Escspcd. Eighty missionaries, a majority of whom are Sc&ndanavlans and Ameri cans, have arrived at Kankow from the Lachow and Fan Cheng districts In the province of Hu Peh. The mis sionaries were escorted from their stations by revolutionary troops and afterward by Imperial soldiers. They report that the cities In the province are peaceful but the country Is In fested with robbers. The Rev. C. W. Landaht, a mis sionary of the Hague’s Synod mis sion in Tal Ping Tien, at the request of villagers, took command of an Im provised militia for protection against robbers and with the assis tance of the people captured a rob ber spy. The people In spite of Mr. Landaht’s efforts killed ths spy, after which men, women and chll lren dip ped their bread In his blood with the Idea that by doing so they would be come brave. Ths revolutionists sent out a small cavalry force and killed many of the robbers. The remain der of the band then submitted and Mr. Landaht departed for Hankow. Consular reports from Cheng Tu* Capital of the province of Cxe Chuen, dated December 5, say complete an archy prevails la the surrounding country. There has been much rob bery and the people have burled tfaelr- money. The British consul at Ichang, prov ince of Hu Peh, writing on December 21, says that there Is serious danger of an antl-forelgn outbreak there A letter from Sain Fu says that the Rev. Donald Smith, a missionary of the English Baptist mission, and his wife attempted to take the Chi nese schoelglrls to their homes In the north of Shlan Fu. A band of rob bers attacked them, seized Mr. Smith, broke both his arms and stunned him They then gashed his wtfs on the leg and left them both for dead, but they revived and were conveyed back to Shlan Fu. Wang Tien Chung, s notorious brl- ganl, who has cammltted many rob beries In the western districts of the province of Hunan, Is reported to have collected a hand of 2,000 or 3,- 000 followers.

The cans* of her death meats Indlgestloa. to the prisoners were made up In the governor's office Saturday morning and sent to the secretary of state's of fice, where It required more than one hour to affix the great seal of the State. The papers were then sent to the penitentiary and there was a gen eral exodus of prisoners. The governor of South Carolina as sumed office on January 17, and since that time he has granted celmency In 317 cases, which are as follows: Pardons 137 Paroles 180 Total 317 Taking the estimate of statisticians of 9500 for a conviction, this means that this feature of the clemency rec ord has cost South Carolina |158,- 500.
