Tho now schedule* announced some timo ago weat toto effect On the Blue Bldg? Railway last Sunday. These changes were made necessary by the changes on the Columbia and Greenville sud the Atlanta aud Charlotte linea of the Southern. The morning train for Columbia will leave Walhalla at 5.25 a, to., arriving in Belton 7.18 a. m., connecting with train from Greenville for Columbia. There.will be a mixed train, carrying freight and passengers, leaving Walhalla at 8 a. m., arriving /at Anderson at ln.40 st m. This train will leave Anderson at 8 p. m., and arrive at Walhalla at 6.40 p. m. The train /from Columbia that * aa due here at 12..%. p. m., will ?nive at _.H p. m., according to this chango. The afternoon train for Columbia will leave Walhalla at 4.15 p. m., arriving at Belton at 6.10 p. m., conceiting with Southern Railway, train No. 10, for Co lumbia. The connection with the night train from Greenville to Columbia will reach Anderson at 8.27 p. m., and is scheduled to reach Walhalla at 9.62 p. m. The connections at Seneca are as yet indefinite, and it may be some time before the sobed ule* are so perfected a* to be permanently fixed for general conven ience. The new schedule on the Blue Ridge has pleased some and is very unpalatable to others. Gu the whole it has for the present disjointed railway traffic and ap ' pears to have put the general public into a condition of "confusion worse con founded." , The Blue Ridge is trying to operate the before-day and midnight sohedules with out additional train orews or assistance in depot forces. It is hardly probable that thin condition can long obtain, as bumau nature has not as yet reached the point of unlimited endurance. TO CURE V COLD IN ONE DAT Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablet?.

[Raleigh (N. C.) Evening Times, Dec. 31.] Passengers who. were on Crain No. 82, on the Seaboard Air Line, and bound from Atlanta to Portsmouth, and which collided with a freight train two miles north cf Peaobland, a station 47 miles south of Hamlet on Saturday night at 0.40, tell of a most heartrending aoene. Oaly one met death in the accident, the engineer of the passenger train, and for fire boars be lay caught between the engine and tender as bia lifeblood slowly ebbed away. Engineer Earle 'Maxwell lived in tbls oity, and bis many friends learned of the news of his untimely death with the most sincere regret. The train which met with the accident ' p.outh of Hamlet wa? kcown as No. 82, but from Hamlet to Norlin? it became No. 84, and passes here at 1.40 in the morning. On the night of the accident is was miming about thirty-live minutes late. .? Socond No. 21, a southbound froighty Engineer George Steele and Con ductor Atkinson, got stuck on a steep giade two miles this side of Peaobland, and to get the train over the bill 'Cut it in 1 two and carried ono. section to the siding and then returned after the remaining oars. When they went to couple tho en* gino lt was found that one of tbe coup lers bad gotten out of fix and it took some minutes to fix it. A negro flagman was sent down the track with a lantern and also fuses to flag any train that might approach. The lantern, it is un derstood, went out and the flagman was unable to light it and for some reason be did not light the fusee. This left the freight standing on the main lino with nothing to warn an approaching train. The place where the freight train was standing was in a out and around a sharp turn, it being impossible to see more than several lengths. The engineer of j the freight made the statement after the acoident that he heard the passenger train blow at a crossing two or three minutes before the accident occurred, but knowing that a flagman had been sent out be. ut course, thought the train would be stopped. No. 82 oame down the steep grade run ning at about forty miles an hour, and dashed around the ourve and into the freight at full speed. Neither engine turned over, but both were looked in a mighty embrace. The engineer of the freight, it is said, was not on the engine, but was standing by the side of the train. For a few minutes all waa confu sion and then the trainmen and passen gers began to see who had been killed or injured. They found Engineer Earle Maxwell pinned between the tender and boiler, hia left leg being caught at tue oalf and his right foot was also by the boiler, but it was not caught. At flr?>t coal was piled around the form of Engineer Maxwell and it could not be told bow badi be was caught in the engine. Several men went to work and removed the coal and found his left leg only was caught. It bad been almost out off. Every effort was made to get tho injured man out, but it was hours before the enormous engines could be torn from their mighty embrace and in the mean time the engineer lay there as bia life blood dyed the'- monster which only a short time before he had nuder bis con trol. The sight was indeed a bear trend . lng one. BEBO TO THE LAST. As the dying engineer lay there be thought of father and mother in their South Carolina homo, brothers and sis ters, and bis wife and .babe. Now and then be would speak of them, and when he saw that the end was near he begged that a physician, who had reached tbe scene of the acoident, out off his leg above the knee and tie the arteries so that be could live long enough to see his wife and little boy, but the manner tn whiob be was lying made the phystoian hesitate about attempting the operation. Although suffering tbe most horrible pain, be bore it with Spartan courage and seemed ouly to think of his loved ones. Soon after ' he found how seri ously he was injured and that he oould not be gotten from between the engine and tender wbilo alive, he asked that his wife and baby be sent for so that be oould see them before he died, and they were wired for, but ere they oould leavo the grim messenger bad arrived, and the so>d of tho brave engineer bad taken Its flight. Tho accident occurred; at 0 40 p. m. and it was 2.80 in the morning when he died. It was about 7 o'clock in the morning before the body was go :eu out of the wreokage. The fireman was not injured other than receiving a few scratches. ItEMAINS IN HAI.KIOH. The remaina woro brought to Raleigh, Sunday afternoon on Second No. 66 and carried to Brown's undertaking establish mont to bo prepared for burial. The left leg of Engineer Maxwell waa cut almost entirely off, only being held by tho liga ments. His right foot was scalded, whiob it is thought was done by the water, which was poured against the boiler head to keep him from being burnod to death. The water striking the hot boiler was turned to steam. Mrs. Maxwell was told that her hus 1 band waa dead juat aa she was preparing 1 to leave the house and take a train for Why Sutler Irom Rheumatism ? 1 Do you know t hat rheumatio pains oan i bo relieved?
