Coast Line ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED Engineer Guilford Horne, Oldest En gineer on Coast Line, Meets Instant death Beneath His Engine-His Fireman Killed and a Postal Clerk Injured-Passengers Escape With Trivial Injuries. Goldsboro, Special.-Train No. 41 which left Rocky Mount Tuesday morning at 5:17 o'clock for Wilming ton, over the Atlantic Coast Line, ran into an open switch at Warshaw about 8 o'clock the engine overturning and killing Engineer Guilford Horne, of Wilmington, and his colored fireman, Will Sterling. The passengers were shaken up, but none was injured. Mr. Horne was the oldest engineer in the employ of the Atlantic Coast Line, and the father of Engineer W. H. Horne, of Rocky Mount. Father and son met each other on the road on their trains in tho morning. The wreck occurred at a siding about one mile this side of Warshaw. The siding had formerly been used for load ing cars with wood, but had not been used for several months past. __The?| switch was open, but how it "came, to be. open at this time is not known. Mr. Guilford Horne, the engineer, and Will Sterling, his fireman, were ""In stantly killed. It was some time be fore they could be extricated, as they were wedged between the engine and its tender. The mail car was piled upon the tender, and all the cars were moro or less damaged. Postal Clerk Hollingsworth1 was badly injured, and Clerk Powell bad to continue his run. All of the passengers were more or less shaken up, but none of them were seriously hurt. Mr. Horne has been employed by the Coast Line for the last thirty-five, years. He was one of, the most trust ed of all the men in the service ol the road. He lived in Magnolia many years ago, where he was favorably known. His death has cast a gloom over the community, especially noticeable among railroad people. The trains were delayed for several hours, the 12 o'clock train not reach ing here until 4:30 p. m. Wrecking trains were dispatched both from Rocky Mount and Wilmington to assist in clearing the track. A Destructive Fire. Minneapolis, Special.-Probably the worst fire that the city of Minneapolis has ever known occurred here Tues day night, and at 12:30 o'clock $3,000, 000'worth of property had been de stroyed, with prospects that tho to tal loss will reach at least $5,000,000. The fire started ia the photographic supply house of O. H. Peck & Com pany, oa Fifth street and First Ave nue south, and ia less than one-half hour this building was a mass of wreckage. Next to the Peck build ing is the furniture supply house of Boutello Bros., the largest house of its kind in the Northwest. This build ing scon caught fire, sparks from it being carried blocks by the north wind, aided by cold weather, the fire meu meeting difficulty in .their work, as-the fire burned Itself out in ono or two buildings and the firemen's v.ork was entirely directed to the buildings in close proximity in an at tempt to save them. It is reported that three firemen lost their lives. $10,000 Fer a Kind Act.

HOUSES, lat Leonard St., N. T. City. Daily Doings of More or Less Interest to the People. Vote to Impeach Judge Swayne. Sitting as a grand jui-y. the House of Representatives Tuesday, with almost full membership and niter more than five hours discussion to the exclusion of all other business,' adopted a resolu tion providing for the impeachment of Judge Chas; .Swaynfe; bf the northern district pt Florid?;., for "high crimes and misd?ra?aiiors-." The case against the respondent was clearly set out by Mr. Palmer, of Pennsylvania; chairman of the 3ub-coramittee^of the judiciary committee, which heard the evidence in ihe case. He carefully dissected the evidence bearing on each of the speci fications, and said that if it were found that Judge Swayne'bad done well, he should be vindicated, but if he had done ill. he should be sent to trial, "where his excuses and apologies may or may not receive consideration." He was followed''by Messrs. Clayton, of Alabama; Powers, of Massachusetts; Henry, of Texas, and Lamar, of Flori da, each of whom in most vigorous terms advocated impeachment. Messrs. Gillett, of California, and Littlefieid, of Maine, in speeches opposed their col leagues on all the specifications except one, as to the account rendered to the government by Judge Swayne for trav eling expenses. . The Senate Notified. The Senate, which under the consti tution is made the trial court in im peachment cases, Wednesday, received official notice of the determination of the House of Representatives to pre sent impeachment charges against Charles Swayne. Federal judge in the northern district of Florida. The mat ter was brought to the Senate's atten tion by a House committee, and the Senate appointed a committee to pre pare the details of the proposed inves tigation. When a few minutes before the hour of the Senate's meeting, the House committee appeared at the Vice Pres ident's roora to confer with President Pro Tempore Fryp, there was a gener al scurrying about on the part, of of ficials to find precedents and to make preparation for the ceremony, the like of which bad not been witnessed in the Senate chamber since the proceedings of 1876 against Secretary Belknap. While the detail? were, being ar ranged, Senator Frye was engaged in conference with the Hcuse committee, consisting of Messrs. Palmer, Jenkins.' Gillett, Clayton and Smith, of Ken tucky. Their official actiou consisted in a mere notification to Mr. Frye of the committee's desire to bringthe ac tion of the House in the Swayne case to the attention of the .Senate at as early an hour as possible, and Mr. Frye's reply that the Senate would be prepared to receive .the committee at any time that it might arrive. A brief informal exchange of views as to the time when the Senate should take up thc case ensued. The House members stated that it would be im possible for the committee to present its articles of Impeachment previous to the holidays, and lt was suggested that the trial might bc postponed until af ter March 4th next, or even until the j next session of Congress. The House impeachment committee I presented itself ct thc main door of the j Senate, being preceded by Clerk j Brwning. of the House, who was an nounced in the usual form by B. W. Layton, assistant sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Browning read the impeachment resolution passed by the House. Mr. Layton then presented the commiftee, saying: "I announce tho committee from the House of Representatives ap pointed in pursuance of the resolution just received.! The chair announced that he would receive the committee, whereupon the committee was taken in.charge by Col. D. M. Randa.'!, sergeant-a't-arms. of the -Seaate,- -srn:V--all: KOhviT^s" >!Oujiit-(ed" down the center aisle toa:point imme diately'in front of the president pro tempore's seat. Mr. Palmer spoke foe the committee, saying: "Mr. President ,in obedience to the order of the House of Represeenta tives, we appear before you. and in tl^ name of the House of Representatives ami of all the people of the United States of America, we do impeach Charles Swayne. judge of the District Court of the United Stales for the northern district of Florida, of high crimes and the misdemeanors in of fice, and we further inform the Sen ate that the House of Representatives will in due time exhibit articles of impeachment against him and make good the same. And in their name we demand that the Senate.- shall take order for the appearance of the said . Charles Swayne to answer said im peachment." V Thc president pro-tempore said: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the com ?mittee: The chair begs to announce that the Senate will take order in the premises, due notice of which will be given to the House.' Currency Discussion. Discussion of the bill to improve currency conditions was resumed in the House, bm throughout the session its advancement was beset with obstruc tive tactics by the Democrats, led by Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, the minor ity ieader. The Democrats mustered sufficient strength lo force Speaker Cannon to break a tie. in order that the hill might te taken up. the Demo crats assuming their attitude of an tagonism because Mr. Hill, of Connec ticut, in charge of the bill, refused to postpone its further consideration in oenserjuence of the illness of Mr. Bar rett, of Georgia, leader of the opposi tion. Little progress was made on the measure. ' An amendment was offered by Mr. Williams requiring the payment of interests by banks cn amounts denosit ed by the government, and limiting the amount to be so deposited in any one bank. Senate Orders Impeachment. The Senate spent practically the en tire day discussing the Philippine ad ministration bill. A number of amend ments were suggested and debated, among them being provisions relating to railroad bonds, mining locations and tariff rates. Under agreement, the vote on the bill will be taken, and the dis posal of all amendments will occur at the same time. A formal order to enter upon the Swayne impeachment nro ceedings was adopted, hut it did not fix a day for beginning thc work. Mr. Plait, of Connecticut, chairman of the select committee to consider the recommendations of the House of Rep resentatives for the impeachment of Judge Swayne, presented the report of that committee. The report was in the shape of an order, which, after recit ing the circumstances in a preamble, proceeded as follows: "Ordered, that the Senate will, ac cording to its standing rules and or ders in silch cases provided, take proper action thereon (upon the pre sentation of the articles of impeach ment), of which due notice shall be given to the House of Representa tives."

He then turned the weapon upon himself and.blew out lils own brains; Wells had but recently been . released from the insane asylum at ! Tuscaloosa.

A special from Columbia says: The convention which is to" be held here on the 28th for the purpose of developing the natural water trans portation routes along the Atlantic coast. is arousing great interest throughout this ?nt? neighboring States, as the scheme has in view a profound change in the freight vate situation throughout this section of the South. The strictly inland towns which cannot hope to be reached by any of the inland routes are appoint ing delegates and otherwise showing a lively interest in the matter, inas much as they will he affected greatly, it is confidently believed, although their benefit will of course come in an indirect way through being closer to towns enjoying a water rate. The cotton mills in the up-cbuntry are par ticularly interested in the objects of the convention, though of course such cities as Charleston, Georgetown, Sa vannah, Wilmington, Augusta, Colum bia and the like will not get the great est benefit, as their advantages will como direct. This scheme contemplates connect ing, the Great Lakes at their eastern end with all tho harbors on the At lantic coast by the Erie Canal, and connecting those lakes at their wes tern end with the whole Mississippi valeys by the Chicago drainage canal and other available routes. The proposed inlf.nd water route by avoiding Cape Hatteras and all other danger points will provide a safe jour ney for barges 'or canal boats from thc northern ports to all ports on the South Atlantic coast, as far South as Jacksonville. If this route wero open and free, Newbern, N. C.. would te about the same ??stance from New York that Buffalo ls by the Erie Canal, and she would move her heavy pro ducts' of the forest and the farm as cheaply as Buffalo can. Georgetown, S. C.. would .stand in about the same relation to New York city that Cleve land, Ohio, new does, and ought to get. the same rates by water. Barges taking the inside route to Georgetown can carry lumber much cheaper than the more expensive vessels that go outside of Hatteras. Nature has giv en us a wonderful system of water ways, which if properly used by de velopment of boat traffic to the heads of navigation, would start in our Southern Slates- an eia of prosperity unparalleled in history. Many points in this State by the completion of this afe inland water loute would be put in closer touch with the great markets of the North. It is a great scheme, and when right ly understood, will secure the hearty co-operation of thc immense and daily interest dependent upon its comple tion. These interests, though dl versed and widely localized in several States, will sure unite to form the co alition required as the only means of gaining this great mutual benefit. Geneal Cotton Market.

It will be an extremely interesting case, affecting all dispen sary communities. In the meantime, the State board has wisely gotten credit for a willingness to yield a peg or so to the prohibition sentiment before the convening of the Lesislature next month, which may make such ?adical changes in the law as will ren der Weeks' testing the point entirely useless.
