At the ottices of the Seaboard Air Line in this city il was stated that immediately after the receipt of tike news of the accident a special train with wrecking outfit and doctors started from Monroe to the scene of the wreck. The dead and injured were brought back to Monroe. rvrnm-k ok malice. I J. M. Burr, first vice president and general manager of tbe road, said today that there was evidence of a ma- | licious attempt to wreck the train, a number of rail joints having been|touud . disconnected, rle gave the following details: o Train No. 41 was in charge of Conductor Richard West aud Eugineei . Gaston Meares. The wrecs occurred about 1 o'clock this moruiug just south of Catawba river, S. (J., aua mile? o southwest of Monroe, N. C. The en- n giue passed over tne tiestle and went d down the embankment, killing colored fireman Ed Roberts aud seriously in- i juring engineer Gaston Meares. A light engine and caboose, running as * Ho. 19, in charge oi Conductor Cliup i man and engineer E. V. liarkesdaie, -i which train was passed by No. 41 a * short distance east of the point when e the accident occurred, ran into the damaged trestle aud on top of the pas- I senger train, resulting in the deatn o: t the engineer of >io. ly. the fireman oi t the passenger train aud of Mrs. Riack t and an unknown passenger. Two Pull- * mau employes, six railway employes, I one mail clerk, one Southern Express i Company employe and 23 passeiigeis < were injured." ENGINEER MEARES' NARRATIVE. ! Charlotte, Sept. 0. The wrecked train was runningabout 40 miles an hour when the trestle, which is about 300 feet long, spauuing a meadow near the Catawba river, gave way. The engine and cars passed over but were drawn backward into the i abyss and upon the other cars the light engine and caboose piled in on top ol the train of wreckage before it could be flogged. Gaston Meares the engineer of the . passenger train, escaped with some bruises and a painful scalp wound. | How he escaped death is beyond his own or any one's comprehension. He *Hid that he was driving at the rate ol 40 miles an hour as he crossed the bridge. Just before the engine had swept entirely clear of the structure, lie felt it sinking, but the impetus carried the engine and all the cars except the first class passenger car and the Pullman clear of the yawning gulf which was left when half the brid?e collapsed, but iheengineand cars were swerved from their course to the right, tearing the rail loose from its fastenings and hurling the entire train upside down over an embankment to the meadow about ^0 feet below. A scene horrible beyond description ensued. The accounts of the survivors are terrible. When the train went crashing over the embankment, every light weut out, passengers were thrown heels over heads against the tides ol the coaches, bleeding and bruised. A natural panic took theiu ; some were rendered uneouscious for a moment. Mrs. Black, sitting near her husband, gave a short cry and when lie managed to strike a match and find her body he discovered that she was dead, her neck having been broken. She was the P.

Pf di As the scrambling and shouting went hi in in the dark, above the noise a brakenan with his head half way out a win- js low was heard to shout : bi "My God, the frieght train is coming aj i pon us !" th In less than a minute the freight, 8p vhieh had left Monroe, 15 minutes be- w liud the passenger, came whizzing di ilong the tracks, struck the open space m vhere the bridge had fallen and plung- gr d its way through the passenger cars. ,jt i ue u nman wnose uieuuiy uouiu uui )e discovered then met her death, the tli reight engine having crashed through T) lie side of that passenger car in which ec she was, crushing her body into a jQ diapeless mass. The engineer of the 21 'reight train must have met his death 3^ nstantly. His body was found in the ai 2ab of the overturned enirine with his jr tiead crushed but with few bruises on y liis body. When his body was dug out bi r>f the debris this morning his watch was still running ou time. His tire- hi man escaped with a few minor inju- ct fies. et The wreck developed at least one jr hero. Mr. Black, whose wife was fe killed beside him, was the last man to ct leave the coaches, and what he did the tl very first thing was to walk with all w his bruised condition,to Catawba June- b< Lion, two miles away, get into the tel- tl egraph office aud send to Monroe for help. He is a telegraph operator in the service of the Norfolk and Western railroad and was going to Atlauta with ** his wife to testify there in a railroad suit. He hardly realizes the blow he , has sustained, and sat all day 011 the cn bank nearby with mournful eyes and jR I* i mcol f t4ATv^ (ifui UlUllCllUg I" "I'UJCVM . , a what an ordeal for a man to bear." w RO A HEAP Oh' JUNK. Pt The mass of wreckage of the two trains is like a heap of junk. Rail- w road men said to-day that they had never seen such a complete demolition of engines and coaches. They are ly- ei ing heaped and crushed together. Look- ttfi ing at the conglomeration, people won der that any one escaped. The wreck- ei ing crew from the Seaboard shops at re Abbeville, S. C., arrived at about 10 o'clock this rooming and began to clear iu away the debris. It will take days to get the line in passable condition, al- tt though the trains are scattered to the rt side of the track and into the ravine in J to which the bridge fell. George S. Fitzwater, chief detective of the Seaboard, arrived on the scene early in the morning aud took charge c of the situation uutil organized helparrived. He said this afternoon that he had found some spikes and bolts and , two angle bars which had been remov- a ed from the track with claw bars, and J' lie said he was confident dirty work {,* had been done. Mr. Fitzwater sent v telegram toSupt. E. Berkley at Atlanta n {OS I HOT i STOCK FAI t this store at Won il to every cash ound Abbeville. f considered, are Men p Suits, patteri - ?- wool | made hair cl 11L& $10.oc vn Cheviot Suits, made and lined. values at $7.50 Bro\ Suits Blacl The v jnted shoulders, fitting that appeal to stiff f yer, well worth ' $18 a 50. and $1 \ avited to cor Los lling him that he had discovered ev-| nee of malice in this work and exessed his belief that some one had sconnected the joints in the lower ilf of the bridge.

The State. ?HlPr W. Tcrrel Jonew writes from Trxiw iihout The Boll Weevil. l'he lioll Weevil which has caused so much maternal ion among the farmers of Texas a small grayish weevil measuring a little ss than a quarter of an inch, It resembles large Doodle bug with grayish wings. The eevlls begin their attack upon the cotton as on as the squares begin to form. It punctes thesquares and lays its eggs In it. The inctured squares usually fall to the ground, iter in the season ttje weevil attacks the >11' depositing its eggs in it, and the worm hlch hatches from it leeds upon the interior ibstance of the boll. This insect crossed er from Mexico into Texas in 1893 near rownsvllle, and it Iikh been gradually Etendlng lis way over the Siate as far North i Dallas and as far West as Louisiana. In uny sections In Souib Texas especially In ie bottom land it has almost destroyed tbe itlre crop lorseveial years. No adequate medy ban been discovered and the Kovernent experts say that it is doubtfnl If tbe >11 weevil can ever be eradicated and the rmers must learn to grow cotton in spite r the boll weevil. The weevil does its greatest damage in lose sections where the cotton attains a ink growth. Upon the upland where the eevil Is most abundant the damage tbat Is jne is very slight. W.

A nice baBket fl ulnner waB enjoyed by them, and as we pass-1 ed the large crowd were respectful and seemed H very orderly and well behaved. j From a close observation It seems to us that j, the cotton crop Is fully ripe, nearly every boll already matured, and fully one half now open. It seems as far advanced as It Is generally In October, aud our prediction Is that the crop will turn out shorter than at first expected. None of the schools have opened yet on route No. 8. ?
