Wednesday, was approaching the 1? trestle a few minutes before 5 o'clock. The train was pulled by an P engine with Mr. John A. Stewman at 8e the throttle and Capt. D. E. Penny, ari conductor In charge. The three Pi passenger cars were crowded. In m front of these were two gondola iron fr cars loaded with coal and preceding ch these several ordinary freight cars. M The rear coach was an extra, put D' on to convey the partiea from this G place who were going over to wit- "1 neB8 the match game of ball between O. Chester and Dillon. Nearly all the 1? passengers In the coach were from f? Lancaster. The next coach to this lo was the regular passenger coach well filled. In front of this was the coach for colored people. The accident is supposed to have been caused by one of the cars, sup- Pa posedly a coal car, jumping from the rails about 150 feet from the trestle. At any rate the cross ties are scarred and cut all the way from the trestle i,r for this distance. The engine and several of the freight cars crossed Cu the trestle safely, but the Impact from the derailed cars when they jn struck the timbers caused the trestle Cl, to give way and the two iron coal cars were precipitated into the creek jn below, a distance of 52 feet and two of the pnssenger coaches fell in on jn top of them. The rear coach, containing the Lancaster people, went oh down but lodged on one of the lower benches, leaving the coach hanging Cu to the eastern embankment of the creek at an angle of something like forty-five degrees.

They found the regular passenger coach lo split almost into kindling wood and it was with extreme difficulty that se the Injured persons could he extricated from the dehris with which tu they were covered and carried up the steep embankment to the level fr ground above. The eye witnesses who aided in the rescue work say it hi was the most horrible experience they ever put through In their lives. si the heart-rending screams for help from the women and children mln- fr gled with prayers in which the mangled men Joined. Not a single per- cr son snowed ine wime m-huht, iiui men, both white and black, worked Jn nntll many of them fell in their tracks from sheer exhaustion.

Los Angeles, Cal., July 31.?Shouting "Death to Diaz," a strong con- 1 | tingent of Mexican rebel sympathizers gave a riotous reception here j last night to Gen. Felix Diaz, leader of the revolution in Mexico City against President Madero. A pla- ; toon of police finally drove back the | excited crowd. Diaz, who arrived from San Liego on his way north to board a ship as j Mexico's special envoy to Japan, was greeted by Consul Penay Cuevas and a party of lluertaista partisans, but | their *'vivas" were drowned by the shouts of their opponents. The envoy was saved from possible attack when the platoon of police charged the shouting Constitutionalists and opened a path for Diaz. | "Viva Carranza" was the companion shout of "Mueto A. Diaz" and these cries rang in the ears of General Diaz until, escorted by police, he entered an automobile and was driven away. Chief of Police Sebastian kept guard over Diaz even after he and his suite of secretaries and attendants had arrived safely at ^ their hotel. IS REFERRED TO NORTHERN WOMEN Northern and Western Senators Object to Bledsoe Article Which Tillman Had 1'rinted. Washington Special to Charleston News and Courier, July SO.?An article on "The Mlsson of Woman," which Senator Tillman had printed in The Congressional Record caused a flurry of protest from Northern and Western .senators on the floor of the senate yesterday, i The article in question was by Dr. Albert Talvor Bledsoe, and appeared in DeBow's Review, which, before the war. Senator Tillman says, was the representative magazine of the South. It contained some reference to Northern woman and to the woman suffrage movement, which brought excited protests in the senate from senators (iallinger, of New Hampshire; Lodge, of Massachu setts; uristow, or Kansas; works of California; Thornton, of Colorado, and others. i Some of these senators complained particularly of the reference to Northern woman, and others, representing states where women have the ballot, were disturbed, especially by the criticisms of woman suffrage. Senator Tillman was not in his seat when these protests were registered. Senators Bacon and Bankhead said they felt sure he was not aware of any invidious references in the article when he obtained permission for its reproduction in The Congressional Record and its printing as a public document. The South Carolina senator later appeared upon the floor and confirmed this assumption of Senators Bacon and Bankhead. saying that he had been particularly struck by the historical passages with which the article opened, and had not noticed the paragraphs of which complaint, was made. Senator Tillman then asked that the article he withndraw from The Record and be not printed as a public document. Of course, it has gone all over the country in The Record and the protest will cause It to be more widely read than if there had been no public objection. LOSS OF NANKING CRUSHES REBELS Removes Cornerstone of Southern Revolt?Senate Confirms Nomination of listing Hsi Ling. Peking, July .10.?The return of Nanking to side of the Peking government is considered here as having taken away the cornerstone from the Southern rebellion.

Nanking Now Quiet, Shanghai, July 30.?The chamber of commerce of Nanking telegraphed today to the military governor of the province of Kiang Su and also to a number of high officials at Shanghai the following dispatch: "Oen. Huang Sing, the commander-in-chief of the Southern forces, has left Nanking. The proclamation of independence issued there has been canceled. The city is quiet."

Washington, July 3ft.?Like a glnnt flail, a cyclone storm of wind. I rain and hail whipped hack and forth across the National Capital today, leaving death and ruin in Its wake. Three dead, scores injured and hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property destroyed was the toll rendered in the hurried canvass >piade when the city aroused Itself aft<^c an hour of helplessness in the grasp .of the elements. Out of a blazing sky. under which the city was\ sweltering with the temperature ^.t lftft degress, came the storm roaring from the north, i driving a mass of clouds that cast a mantle of darkness over the city. The gale, reaching a velocity of almost seventy miles an hour, swept the streets clear, unroofed houses, I tore detached small structures from their foundations, wrecked one offino Kn liciin n- ? ? ?2m -v ..f,, mriiuiiim wiimins ann carriages In the streets and swept Washington's hundred parks, tear- i ing huge branches from trees, and even uprooting sturdy old elms, landmarks of a century. STREETS BARRICADED. Tonight Washington's well kept streets, with their wealth of tree?, were littered with broken foliage, roots and dead birds, as if a playful giant had carelessly swished his club up and down the city. As the wind wreaked its havoc the rain came, and in five minutes the temperature dropped from the hundred mark to between sixty and seventy. Then the rain turned to bail, and hail stones battered on roofs and crashed through skylights and windows. T.'~ r- . - V. !.. -I?- ' I ui M.Ill nil iiuui nit? 1-1 iv rowprnfl. paralyzed under the beating of the storm, every activity suspended. Trolley ears, street traffic and telephone service wore halted. Government departments suspended operations. The wind wrecked a threestorv brick office building occupied by the TV S.

Half a dozen were taken to hospitals seriously Injured, and half a dozen more were treated for slight injuries. Tonight the police still were digging in the ruins, fearing other bodies might be recovered. WHITE HOUSE LAW am DAMAGED The neatly kept lawns of the White House were devastated. Three huge elm trees, uprooted l>v the wind, were thrown bodily across the lawn, and up to the very portico of the building, blocking the drives. President Wilson was seated in the executive offices when the wind crashed though several windows in the White House proper Secretary Tumulty hurried the President and Representative Korblv. of Indiana, with whom he was conferring, to a sheltered interior room nn-nt- from the searching lightning flashes. The Capitol, set high above the rltv, caught the brunt of the wind, rain, bail and lightning. The senate was in session when the hail swept down with a deafening roar, boatinp on the plass roof of thp chamber, tbp tnninlt madp further business impossible, and hnrrylnp to the Vice President's desk. Senator Kern mepapboned with bis bands a motion to reeess. The motion was put and although the senators could hear nothing, the senate quit work for fifteen minutes in confusion. ON' TITF CAPITOT, DOMIJ. When the storm broke, thirtyfive painters were at work on the dome of the Capitol, swarming over the curving surface or swinging nigh on shaky scaffolding. William Reese, the foreman, hurried to the dome and got most of his men to shelter inside the big inverted bowl Ttut Jim Boyle, John Ford. Noble Tlailey and rtruce Jones woro too late. Railey and Jones succeeded in scaling: the dome in the wind and rain, and pained a sheltered ledge, where they weathered the storm, after trying in vain to pet inside Ttoyle and Ford were caught on a swinging scaffold Just, under the eaves of the dome and there they swung, suffeted by the wind, beaten by the hail and soaked by the rain, while the flashes of hie lightning trickled around the dome, down from the platinum lightning points on the head of tne Goddess of Freedom that surmounts the structure. When the storm was over they crept, shaken and bruised to safety inside. Here and there throughout the city panic appeared. * Horses driven frantic by the wind ann hail, dashed through the streets in terror until they were stopped by collision with t.ome other wind-driven object. In nf tliA r* ffi r?r? hn111Hnon/l government buildings disastrous panics narrowly were averted. At tbe bureau of printing and engraving. where hundreds of women are employed, the wind, sweeping through a huge window, sent a storm of broken plate glass hurtlln through the big press room. ) I WOMEN FAINT, F\. Eight or ton women %. falling glass, and one prinu* ? 'Khodes, suffered severe sealp woirndvf i,. The crash of glass swept panic through the room. A hundred or more of the girls working ns printers' 1 01 assistants, fainted and fell to the j < floor and others dashed terror-stricken for the exits. For two hours the office was in an uproar. \ While the excitement was at its Nev height, the wind caught a bundle of sidt 1,000 one-dollar bills, half finished, tert and swept it through the broken Smi window . The bundle was ripped to /adr pieces and the bills scattered far and lisb wide.
