Miss Mary B. Merritt, Boston, Mass. Miss Clara Aldin, Boston, Mass. J. C. Flynn. Atlanta. E. Schrelner, Cbatlanooga. E. T. Mack, Chattanooga. J.J.Quinlan, flagman. T. C. Carter, Pullman porter. Handy Tomlinson. The train left Macon at 7:10 and was due Id Atlanta at 9:45 last night. A cloud burst broke over that section of the oountry about 6 o'clock last night aud washed out a section * of the track, nearly 100 feet in length. Into this the swiftly moving train plunged. The storm was Rtili raging and all the car windows were elosed. The passengers, secure as ibey thought, and sneltered confortably from the Inclement weather, went to death ? without an Instant's warning. The train, ' consisting of a baggage car, second coach, flrstclass coaoh and a Pullman sleeper, was knocked into kindling wood by the fall. Every person on the train except the occu' pants of the Pullman car perished in the disaster. For a brief time there was silence. Then the occupants of the.Pullman car recovered from their bewilderment and after hard work managed to get out of their car and found themselves on the track in the pouring rain. Flames were alieady coming from that part or the wreckage not covered by the water. As the wreck began to go to pieces human ' - bodies floated out from the mass and were carried down stream by the swift current. The storm did not abate In fury. Flashes of ii^htniner added to the steady glow of the burning train and lit up the scene with fearful distinctness. Flagman Q,ulnlan, who was one of the first to get out at once started for the nearest telegraph station. Making bis way as rapidly as possible In the face of the blinding storm, be stumbled Into the office at McDonougb. Word was quickly Rent to both Atlanta and Macoo. Nearly tbe entire male population of McDonougb went to tbe scene to render assistance, but little could bo done by tbe rescuers. At daylight tbe bodies that bad floated from tbe gorge were gathered up. One body was found a tnlle from tbe wreck and many were seen along Its banks. A wrecking train was started out from Atlanta at midnight. A special train at 6 o'clook this aaornlne took doctors, ministers, railroad officials and helpers to tbe scene, but nothing could be done save to gather up tbe hfuilPH. J * As the dead wete found they were removed to McDonough. Some of the bodies were terribly burned while others were crushed beyond recognition. Some may be burled at McDonough. Others will be sent to their homes as fast as the proper addresses can be ascertained. Only three ladleH were on the train. Two escaped. It Is presumed that tbe other perished, but tbe body baa not been found. Besides the regular crew of the train, several couductors and other employes were enroute to Atlanta to spend Sundav. All were killed. Conductor W. A Barclay was lu charge of tbe train. A section boss with a gang of eight negroet occupied seats In the second class coach. Nol one escaped when the car went down. A DRUMMER'S EXPERIENCE. Jesse L. Hohr had this to say : "I was In the Pullman when th? wrech occured. There was not an lnstant'i warn lng. We heard suddenly an Indistinct crast and tbe next Instant felt our car pltob for ward and drop. The forward end ?X the cai filled with water at once and tbe lights wen' out. We beard tbe roar of rniblng waten and knew we were In a stream of aome kind 4 J" ? ** ??

What Impressed me, wai the fact that not a single call for help wa beard. Those In the forward coaches mux have met death instantly. The wreckag was on Are when we reached the top of oil car and lit up the scene brightly. Lookini down toward the middle of our car, 1 saw th bead and shoulders of a woman and sooi beard her cry, "Save us, we are alive.' Bu we could do nothing for her then as titer was no rope to be had and we were afraid th car would swing from Its positlou. "Then came the struggle to get to the trac! above. We were many feet from the level c the roadbed. Ureat chunks of earth, looser ed by the rain, came falling down on us, an we were nearly buried two or three tlmei We feared, too, that the stone abutmen > of the Sixties. niforra of gray, II need 'em all to-day. me down ray rusty gun, 2 boys of '61. lever mind that rageed bole, seeking for my soul. t tbe bonnie flag of blue, ! boys of '62. ke they did when I was young, ay manly form they clung? et it dangle loose and free. ! boys of '63. hat strap beneath my chin ; like my uniform an' thin. in days ot yore, / ,, boys of '64. .$< >rour old sweethear good bye, w: Lord, I didn't think youd cry, .

Mr. Quirrtffiaot?d with great promptness and heroism lb spite of grave obstacles. Fortunately a Irel^ht (rain was standing on the track at McDonough and It was impressed Into service, so that wltbln 15 minutes after the railroad company was notified of the ac-1 cident, assistance was at band. "Nearly all the material necessary to replace the bridge Is on the ground, and within 24 hours after the material Is In place the | bridge will be completed and trains running again. The depth of the ravine over which tbe bridge passes la so great as to require SO feet piling and, we did not have any that length In stock. Tbe piling has been supplied, however." THE FLAGMAN'S STORY. Flagman Qulnlan said tonight: " "I was sitting In the front end of the sleeper (ilraldo when tbe crash came. Tbere was no warning for the others, but I suddenly noticed that tbe air brakes had been turned on ?I.V. o T trnun? ad nillck as thought that I something was wrong. But before 1 could think again I was Jammed into the corner and a great pile 01 something fell on me. I lought to gel loose from my plnnings, but could not see a thing. It was as dark and sliont as a grave. I turned my head in all directions und finally 1 saw a place that seemed less dark tbaa tbe rest of my surroundings. I half swam and half orawled to that place. It proved to be the upper rearend of the car. I got on top of tne coach. One of my lanterns was the only light still burning. The tracks on which we had been running were fully 50 or feet above us. As soon as I landed against tbe embankment I found tbat the dirt was loose and would crumble under tbe slightest weight. Iran up tbe railroad track toward McDonough, listening every minute for the whistle of tbe freight train. i The operator got orders to hold everything." , ANOTHER EXPERIENCE. Macon, Ga., June '24.?Miss Mamie Morrltt, who Is a teacher in the Emerson school of oratory, Boston, gave her experience as follows. i !. hooon in rnin about the time we left 1 Macon and rained Incessantly all tbe way up to McDonough. The conductor came f through where we were sitting, In the rear 1 of the sleeper, and proposed to let down my widow, as tbe rain had begun to come In. As be put the widow down I reached over to gather up my mackintosh, which I had spread across my lap, and while I was bent forward ; the crash came. Quickly looking up, I saw the conductor i being thrown headlong toward tbe front of - tbe car. I was on the left of tbe car, my friend r was on tbe opposite side and the conductor t was falling headlong over the seats on the 3 right That was tbe last I saw. Then I re. memberod the car plunging down, down Into i the water. The car turned over on the side , on which I was sitting, and the next I knew a Miss Alden was lying across me. j "The water bad risen up to our waists and ) I noticed that Miss Alden's head was lower c than mine and, fearing the water would cover i. her, I took her In my arms and lifted her up. i We both were wedged In and could not move j our bodies below our waist. For some time ? too iiiv helDless and called for help, but s none came. t "MIsb Aiden had a steam pipe across her e body and she wtw across me and I was r further wedged down with a berth partition g acroBH me. i began to pull the debris off with e my bands, and wtien 1 had removed all tbat n wax loose 1 took a wooden beam and prized the t steam pipe from oil my friend. Finally I e got it loose and relieved her of its pressure, e I was still wedged down by the partition, I got hold of another longer piece of wood It and began to prize up tbe partition and ai >f last puilod myself from under It. Then 1 i- orawled out In the open space in thecar, whert d I could look out through tbe broken aper s. ture. t "I could hoc the embankment and tho rath y and the men who bad gotten out of the smoking apartment standing and walking about upon the embankment. I called to them, and they paid no attention; but a negro porter heard me and came to our assistance. Hy his aid I mauaged to pull up on top of the sleeper and crawl to the end next to the embankment. I then called stain and again to the men to help us, but they only cried back, All right.' "In the meantime Miss Alden bad gotten on to the roof of the car, and after she had fainted and a long wait a gentleman from Atlanta came down the embankment and tied a rope about ms waist and I was drawn up the 6teep embankment."

ClinlucaleB, who was 1 on time at Abbeville Monday mornlDg to answer to roll call. Th^Oourt was "short and sweet," The pqtit jurors were discharged s Monday.evening. Judge O. W. Buohanan de- , serves, as be certainly gets, the thanks of the'i Jurors, wltneMee, And all those bavlng cases : In Court for closing it bo soon, as it would have been a great loss, especially to tbe planters to b&ve bad to spend even a few day* away frtfta their farms at this particular tm wheat in the bin. Many.of tbe planters bave had tbetr ?MKL threshed, and tbey are unusually well pltai* ed with the result. IS to 20 basbels peron has been no anoouimon yield, and tbe grain .wasvery fine. Wbeat sowing bad been al~ naost entirely given up, for several years, by a Itirst majority of our planters, ho that this ImpMUat Industry was followed by a HR9N&4?ffi*tbe borne livers, and they realmore .than covered expenses. L$st y?*r, however, there seemed to be a con lderable revival along this line, and acres pon acres were sowea to this valuable cereal, and tapebrought forth bountifully, wblcb, It is.io be hoped, wlllhave a good effect lu tbe dtytto oome. Tbere are two planiters, of wbom this writer has beard, whose crops of wheat deserve special mention. Mr. J. T. Latimer, with good preparation of the (land and liberal manuring, made 41 bushels Jrom 1J? bushels sowed. The other, Henry Hmnfton, colored, made about 200 bushels. " r 1 n a fomnrtqK1 a ohnirincr fnr o ahU II man. This breaks the record. Perhaps other colored man In the county ever ed bo many bushels of wheat Some how 7 are all fond enough of something to eat, eapeclally so of flour bread, but they do not like to raise It,?had much rather raise cotton. a good chance for a tubklc spirited citizen to make an investment that woui>d cause him to wish that he had died when he was a babe. , ( Perhaps there is no plant that would more stimulate tbe raising of wheat la this section, than that of a first class roller mill. Now 1 wheat when raised has to be carried sacb long distances to be ground that many fall to raise It, as much or more on that account than any other. A good mill would oreate a demand 1 * 1 ojfoKHoli a morhref fr%r lor wueuk, auu nuum vo?x..?u all of tbe surplus, at a remunerative price, and many of tbe now all cotton men wotald raise wheat as It would bring In to them some midsummer cash, which Is often badly need- 1 en, at this date. Now tbey have to depend i upon butter, chickens, eegs and such minor [ commodities to furnish the cash for their special needs. Will not some enterprising man lor men make the venture? From reports Greenville, by this agency, wonderfully increased the wheat production of that county. They buy every bushel that is carried to them, and give a good price for it, and a mill or mills here, would do great things for this section. We have as fine wheat lands as can be found, and under proper management, which an easy access to market and a ready sale, which would be reached, by first class mills, would bring about, would add greatly to tbe value of our lands and the prosperity of our country.
