Hours of Intense Excitement in ^ the Mountain City ? On Verge of a Race War. 1 A special from Greenville says: There was little sleeping done in that city Sunday night. Negroes v and whites were armed and a gen- u uine race war at one time seemed ? inevitable. A negro ntfmed Zack v Brown was arrested by a crow)l ^ of operatives from the Foe mill P on the charge of having tired into *' tbe house of an operative. The u man was taken to jail, but it" was ^ reported at the negro churches P where services were in progress H that the mill people were going to iyncn Wrown. In an incredibly " short time the churches were emu? C ty and the negroes appeared in the mill quarters under arms. There v has been no trouble between the 0 races since a negro was lynched 8 there for murder five years ago. ^ The sheriff could do nothing.? a He told the negroes Brown was 0 safe in jail, but they refused to believe him. In tbo meanwhile the whites had armed and were v on the streets, while tbo miliiarv v ti company assembled at is armory and was served ammunition.? ^ There was some firing in the heart ^ of town, and between squads of e the two races on the outskirts.? * Bon Odarn, white, was shot in tho M jaw. Five negroes were wounded. 1 Two negro leaders, one a preach- r er, were finally persuaded to go . to the jail and satisfy themselves ' as to Brown being there. The * announcement of Brown's safety 1 was made early in the morning, n and the hostile parties began to i c scatter.

Scores of Excursionists to See War Ships Drowned. The Gang Plunk Broke in Twain. | At Least 150 People Precipitated la to the A'ater. Pur llurhor, Me., Aug 6, ? A score of persons were killed today by the collapse of the gang plank of the Mount Desert Ferry. I The Maine Central railroad today ran excursions to Par liar- j hor from all sections of its line in Maine, the attraction being the warships which were expected today. All the morning long trains pucked with excursionists were rushing to Pur Harbor. The train which left Bangor at 8:24 consisted of 12 cars jammed with jy:ople. At Mount Desert ferry, the to* minus nf th? linn naueon. ? , J? gors have to leave the train and take tho boat for an eight mile sail to liar llarbor. From the wharf a slip or gang plank 40 feet long and 10 feet wide led up to the boat. The slip was hinged at the inner end, tho outer end being supported by chains by which it was raised or lowered to suit the tide. The wharf extends on both sides Hush with the wooden gang plank. Five tirahers 4 by 12 inches, set vertically, ran the length of the plank and these wore crossed by two inch planking. It is said that there was no support for the plank between the hinges and the outer end. When ?ho excursion train from Bangor arrived at tho ferry there was a rush for the steamer Sappho. Tho lirst few passengers had crossed lho gang plank safely and it is estimated that 2o0 people were massed upon tho plank. .Suddenly tlicy felt the plank give way beneath them. The long timber supporting the plank broke in the middle. Tho hinges held up one end and the chain the other, while the broken ends of the plank dropped and a struggling, screaming mass of humanity was plunged into the water 15 feet below tho wharf. A few clung to the inclined sides of the plank, but at least 150 were struggling in the water. The piling of the wharf partially penned them in on three sides and tho boat lying at the wharf closed the outer end of the opening. After the first moment of stupefaction tho work of rescue began. Ropes and life preservers were thrown to the crowd, hut in the pan'c tho people in tho water clutched one another, and many sank thus in groups in a death grapple. Many taken from the water were unconscious and were revived with difficulty. Doctors were j summoned from all directions, mil 11 was nair an hour before the first arrived. The freight house at the ferry was turned into a morgue, the bodies being taken there for identification as : fast as recovered. By noon 17 had been recovered. Three other persons were taken on board the Sappho and died on the way to Bar Harbor. The exact number of dead will not l>e known for some time yet, as a strong tide sweeps under the pier and some bodies may have been carried away by it. K diver, who was set to work without delay, was engaged in his search until 5 o'clock, but only 17 bodiet were found. HERBERT S. ELLERBE DEM) ON THE TRACK. Belief That He was Murdered and Body Placed on Track. | Was Brother of Lute Governor. Remains Horribly Mangled? Body Was Found by a Negro. __ I Special to The State, j Florence, Aug 5.?Thursday i night Herbert S Ellerbe, brother of the lute Gov Ellerl>e, was killed either by the fast southl>ound passenger train No. 35, or elso by ' foul play and placed on the track ' to conceal the crime. The accij dent happened between Sellers I and Latta, and was not known in 1 Florence until late yesterday afternoon A negro coming along the track yesterday morning discover^ j ed the mangled remains and reported bis discovery to the agent at Latta, who notified the coroner of Marion county andJDeJongh of this city who investigates such uiHuers ior mo Atlantic (Joasl Line. The accident was horrible in every detail. Portions of the man's body were found strewn along the track to Pee Dee bridge, and it is said when the train arrived at Charleston some of his clothing and a part of the remains were taken from the trucks i of the rear Pullman car. The ; crew were not aware of the accident until the train reached Char, loston. It !s almost impossible to tell how the accident occurred, but from the fact that the unfortunate man that day sold tobacco at Latta, the theory of foul play has been advanced. When found his trousers' pockets were turned nsnle out,and one cent was found upon his person, although it is stated when last seen he had $5. It might be that he was murdered and placed upon the track. Mr Ellerbe was about 2f> years old and was unmarried. The rein lius were interred at the family burying ground at Sellers.
