FATAL RAILROAD WILEC THE ASHEVILLE SPECIAL CRASHE INTO A FREIGHT TRAIN. Engineer B3rissenden and Fireman Brow Instantly Killed-The Story of the Sol Survivor of the Engine Crew--& Care less Flagman and C-inductor. CH ARnLESTON, S. C., Aug. 2.-A fata and fearful railroad accident occurre( on Friday night at 11.40 p. i., at Ridge ville, on the line of the South Carolin. Railway. It was one of the most se rious occurences on the road in somi time. The unfortunate event is sin cerely regretted and by none more thai by the fellow-workmen of Enginee: II enry Brissenden and Fireman Wes ley G. Browne, who lost their lives ir the wreck. Both men must have died instantaneously, and were hardly awart of the danger which threatened then before the end came. It was all done a if in an instant. It was one of thosc unfortunateoccurrences to which criin inal blame will, with dilliculty, ho at tached to the proper parties. Yet il does seem, from what has been heard of the case, that sonie one o1 the obstruct ing freight train is in a measure ac countable. Iron what could be learned yester day from eyewitnesses and others it must have been a terrible sight. The through train from Asheville, coning to Charleston over the South Carolina Road, was due at lidgeville at 11.40 It is a fast special train. Conductor and engineer alike hail every reason tc suppose they had a clear track. Bu1 alas, such was not the case, a flickering little red light told them that dangei was ahead, but too late to preven)t the catastrophe, and with a heart-sicken ing erash the trains came together Engineer Brissenden and Firemar lirowne, who was a visitor on the en gine, thought it safer to jiump and tr; arid save their lives, but in so (loini they iuet instant death, while W. . .Juhnson, the regular tirelnan of thi engline, clung to the coal bin and to day lives to tell the story of the acci dent in which his two friends lost thei lives. HOW iT O(TLmRJD. 11it how did the accident occur ! I freight train in charge of Condiuctoi -s,in HIerrin and Engineer George S O'l'rien was going west, toward: iranchville. Th1,1e through Asievill1 special wiiti Conductor 4ilbern and En gineer Brissenden had the right of way and was running oi its fast seieduile on i suipposedly clear track. IThe A she, Ville special was due at Ridgeville at I1.A1 1). w. and arrived oil time. The freight train which was the occasion of t he catastrophe arrived at 11.30) p. im, It was incumbent on the freight traini to get. out of the way of the regiular passenger train and give her a clear t rack. 'ie regulations of the road re 'lture that the passenger train should have been given a clear track fully ten Ilimutes before the schedule time of the passenger train. Fireman ]rowne who was sitting on the box, was the first, to see the red signal of danger lie cried in an excited manner "Look uit, there is a red light!" A. Iireman IlJohnson, tho survivor, ex. pressotl It, all on the engine saw t, ll F11" LWK1-Mn1N(, 1,M) LHI-1T at the identical moment. Engineer lirissenden, who at the time was sitting oin his box, applied the air brakes Their danger was imminent. Youni Irowne wars the first to .jump from th train, iIe was soon followed by the eingmneer. In a few seconds cane thn terrible crash-the trains had collided Tw'o lives had been lost. and considera ble d(amnage had been (lone tire engin< andi roiling stock. 'The freigirt trail had only gotten about eight of its car on tire switch, and about twenty re mairned1 on the main line. A bout foum of the freight boxes were telescOpedl Willing hands andl anxious hearts wer< soon at work looking for tire missing. \Young Birowne was foundi near Switch stand dead. Engineer lBrissen deni wa lying near tire track betweer ine calb arid tender, in tire last angon]ies lBot h men had bilCin AIlIOST1 IN.sT ANTANECO:sLY. Yourrg lirownre in jirniping muist have strucek against tire switchr stant anid broken hris neck . Tire enigineel was badly crushed about tihe hip anid body, ani no doubt died from int.erna injuries received from the jump. It mrust be remembered that "4Old lI elian ble" lBrissenden, was makinig the fast schedule, arid he~ was rrmmiing at r' speed of from forty to forty-live mrile., an hour. Capt. S. C. Gilbert, the conductor 01 the pitssenger train, wahs thrown witt considerable force from his seat. 11 eceived a slIght injury about tile head Neither of thue brakemen nor any of thr passengers on the train were at anll iu jured. They were all very natunrall badlly frightened aind soninewhnat di meoralized. Tire dead bodies were brought to thi city yesterday miorrning at 11 o'clovl andi sent to Undertaker lichikopi's, in W~oolfe astreet, to be pireparedl for bu TiiiE SUlty I VOl1's STOny. Tire liremian of tire Ill-fated t ralin, :\i W. IB. Johnson, wans perhaps tire oi eyewitness to the unfortuhiate actcidleni lie was seen at iris b)oardinrg ihouse yei terday morning by tire reporter for thi Stnday News, to whom ire gave ai con mnectedl and intelligent aiccouint of tin accident. With a ipenell aIi n aer hi -drew an outline of tihe situnatioin. 'Th station he diescribed( ars being on thI east side of tire side track oni wich thi freight ought to have gone. Abou trighrt cars wefe on the side track air tine remainder or the train was on tin rmain line. Thie colliismin was at mx angle. Only the:front wheels of tin engime were deraihetd. "We were," h said, "about four car leng~ths from th station, arnd the station is about eih or ten car lenngths from tire switel where tire accident occurred, brefore w saw the flagmarn with tire red ligi We were at almost tihe point wvhere w saw thre liht ias it was a very tlickerin one. 'T'he brakes were immnediatel y al plied. I do rnot believe Engineer Bri: senden had t ime to reverse the enginm and if ire did 1 do not think it woul have prevented tire collision. Both mi friend Browne and Brissenden jumnpe from off tire same side, the east sidle ( tie cab. 1 would have followed1 then but could not do so. To hrave jumpr from the west sIde I would have ru the risk of being thrown under ti freight cars. The other mnwervre c -the east side. I thought of steadyir myself by tire lever rod, but feared ti Jar would throw the furnace door'opn on me. A GRIPl F'OR DEIAR LIFE. "I can never tell what prompted ii to do so, but I caught hold of tire fran: work, used to keep the coal banked r: and held to it as tightly as icould. T b,rash came and I was almost complel -y covered with lumps of coal. It 9 lIngers, as you see, are cut rip by t coal and my legs are badly bruised some way. -I got out of thre heap coal as soon as I could. The furna door-bad been thrown open ansl whe ffteen inches from the length of t SIobing of the flames from the furnac4 WHERE 18 THE FLAGMANV Le Mr. Johnson did not know what ha become of the fligman, who had beej known as "Boozer." Ie was not at t scene when the inquest was being held neither was the conductor of the train lie said. Mr. Johnson will no doubt be able t4 " be out in a few days. With mucl e emotion and a tear in his eye he said 'in going out to see Wesley (Browne if I h ye to hobble there. lie was 1 broth to me, and the best friend ever had. We used to sleep togethe I and have always been such goot I friends." lie fireman gave his testi mony before the coroner's ji ry at Ridge ville before coming to Charleston. The reason the headlight of th freight train was not seen was becaus< it, was obstructed by a box car on thi side track immediately ahead of th( freight engine. Tie passenger engine, No 16, wat badly daiIaged. 11er car box was splil and a number of bumpers smashed. AT TEAilE WRECK. Superintendent Agnew went on I special train to the scene of the acci dent, and had the road cleared befori the arrival of any of the passengei trains. Of course, as can be readil3 seen, there cannot be even a suspicioi of blame attached to any of the highei oflicials of the roard. Whatever wrong there was it appears belongs to ti freight train. IARV'Y BRISSENDEN. lenry J. Brissenden was one of th most popular and well known engiln vers oi the South Carolina Railway lie hadl hundreds of friends outside 61 railroad circles. Starting out in thi( railroad workshops as a mere lad hi has continued at railroading all his life For about ten years he has been ii charge ofI a locomotive, and was gener ally regarded as one of the safest and nerviest vngineers on the road. It wa, he who on October 7, 1887, niade whal is clitied to be the fastest run witli Capt. George Cleary, from Columbia tc Charleston, that has ever been made or - a Southern road. The train left Co. lunbia at 1.02 I1. M., with engine 1, tli same one in Friday night's accident and rolled into the ilharleston depot al 3 .52, making the (sta.ce of one hun - dret and thirty iiles in one hundred and seventy minutes, including eight r stops. It was lingineer lirissenden whc was running the engine which was de railed at Langley's on the night of thi L earth(uake. About four years age hesaw what hi thought to be a bundle on the traci near llowesville. Imagine his horro w'hen, alas, it was too late and he hit crushed a poor little child, who hat been playing on the track, to death Mrs. 1Robinson, the horrified mother saw the (langer when it was too late When the sturdy engineer went to hi, home lie, too, had a little child aboul the same age of the tot he had killed Lifting it up in his arms and,pressing., kiss oi its cheek, lie wept like a babe while he told his wife of the terrible ac cident of that day. They say thai Henry irissenden has never been him self since that fatal day. Mr. l3rissenden leaves a wife an several children. Ile was 42 years o: age.

Newspaper Articles cause Had Blood Be in tween Mr. N. G. Gonzales of The Scate ha Pu and Mr. Mt. F. Tighe of The News and Courier. ar da COLU31nIA, S. C., Aug. 4.-The quiet I monotony of summer life in our city gr was suddenly, but not unexpectedly, g broken yesterday afternoon by a per- to sonal e1coulitei between Mr. M. F. righp, the Columbia correspondont of sit the News and Courier, and Mr. N. G. Gonzales, managing editor of The State The affair occurred about half-past rai o'clock in front of the News and Courier th bureau oflice, and naturally enough in a br few minutes after its occurrence it was brt known from one end ot the town to the other, and was the themeof all tongues. i The casus belli, as the lawyers say, wts thl primarily certain newspaper articles . which have latterly appeared in the fri colu s of the News and Courier over th the initials of Mr. Tighi and certain TI editorial utterances lin The State. Mr Tighe intimated that a Columbia daily, re persumably The State, had liepublican re1 tendencies And always received the first news of any important Republican vi: movements. To this The State respond ed vesterday morning in an editorial in which, among other things, the follow ing references were made to Mr. Tighe: "Mr. Tige has had the opportunity Tt to know, and knows, that The State is owned exclusively by Democrats; that its editorial policy is absolutely con trolled by the maii whose namo appears at the head of its editorial columns, and whom no one dare accuse to his face of being other than a i)emocrat of "the straightest sect;' that it advocates the Democracy of Jefferson without swerv ing or cessation, and that it has no con. nection whatever with any other paper, )emocratic or Republican. directly or indirectly. -In making what every one will recog nize as insinuations to t,he contrary, Mr. Matthew F. Tighe, the correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier in this city, has been guilty of asneaking slan (er, unredeemed by the semblance of ye truth. "If Mr. Matthew F. Tighe, in what lie has sent to the News and Courier, did not intend to insinuate that The State was in some manner tainted by ltepub lican connections, and for that reason introduced it into a business difference between the owners of the Record, then he is an idiot. "if, on the other hand-and his refer ence to The State as an 'alleged Deio cratic paper bears out the supposition he did intend to impugn the Democracy of this newspaper, he is a knave." '[The editorial in question also charged that Mr. Tighe had sought a position on the stalf of The State, and had asserted that lie was not in sympathy with the Tillman party, and that if he had voted in the general election he would have voted for ,udge IIaskell. It also charged V that Mlr. Tighe desired to take stock in The State, and as late as the month of May was still seeking a position on its staff. Yesterday afternooni Mr. Tighe sent Mr. Gonzales a note in which lie told him that he could not escape a light with him as hie had escaped one with - Mr. Talbert and Mr. Gandy, and that al though he did not go armed, he would - meet Mr. Gonzales wherever and when I ever he pleased and with any weapon he pleased, and that he did not carry "the stilletto of the Spaniard;" at least such r is said1 to be the contents of t,ue letter, - but as neither the sendler nor the re ' ceiver of it have given it out for pub a lication, the above may niot be literally accurate. Upon receipit of the letter Mr. G~onzales procured a cowhide, andI, in t company with WV. 1I. (ilbes, .Jr., 3 sought Mr. TLighe, wVho was at the -time sitting in front of the News andi - Courier oflice. Sherliff Ilowan, wvho had a fe3w mnnutes p)reviouis catr.e upI, see ing Mr. Gonzales approachling wit,h the cowhidle stickinig out of hiis pocket, said hurriedly to him, "None ot' tbut, N. (U, and as he sp)oke air. (Gonzales struck at Mr. Tight, and they immelt diately clinchedf. 'ThIey were separ atedi momentarily by the Sheriff but. got together again, and accor-ding to the ac counts of several bystanders, including, the Sheriff, Mr. Tiighe struck Mlr. (;in zales several blows in the face, and by that timen they were again separated, and neither of themi appeared to be much the wo-se for the encounter. Both of them were summoned to ap pear before the Mayor this morning for disordierly conduct and fighiti':7 on the streets, but thus far no further steps have3 been taken to p)revent anuy repe tition of the encounter. Sheriff Itowan stated last night to a liegiste- repor ter that tIhe rumor that he had posted himself at the News and Courier oflice for sonme time before the dlifliculty in anticip)ationi of it, was positively with out foundation in fact, lie says that he left his oflice t.o go home by a back street, and remnembering sonic buisness matter, changed his mind arid went M roumnd on Main street, and had been at the oflice only a few ruinutes when the encounter took place as above iien tionied. 31urdere<l by tii 31niia.

W A Sit IN OTON, July 28.-Kate Field's Washington tomorrow will contain an nterview with Governor Campbell on Lhe Ohio campaign. He thisks it will be perhaps the hardest fought on record. 'The tariff issue," he says, "will be the nost conspicuous feature of the cain xalgn." Nothing could defeat the Dem pcrats except an enormous corruption ound, and even that would 'ail, in ils opinion-first. because Ohio has lever beei bought, and therefore proba bly never will; anld. secondly, because Lhe Australian system renders nugatory, to a great extent, all el'rts to corrupt 'ie voters. "The silver question will be an issue, but not to such an extent as ihe tarill'. While the Democrats declare, ifter a fashion, for free coinage, yet it was upon a very close vote, and the 3entiment of the party is much divided in the State. It would perhaps have been more of an issue had any one other Lhan Maj. McKinley headed the Repub lican ticket; but has nomination forces Lhe tariff issue, and upon that we must stand or tall,' "You predict victory again?" "1 (10." oTim Sut a scheme. COLUMBIA, S C., .July 31.-Alliance lecturer.J. I. Kinsler, has to-day madte public a letter from Capt. Richard D'Neil, ex-mayor of Columbia, who has [or some years been classed with Re publicans. In this letter Capt. O'Neil mirgests as a remedy for the existing lepiession by reason of the reduced irice of cotton, the skipping of, a cot on crop !n the whole South next year. ilis plan, in brief, is for the farmers to refuse to sell but half thie'present crop luring the next twelve months, de manding 12% cents per pound, plant no wotton at all next season, but raise food erops only. In this way the new Mul berry Sellers ligures that the farmers would be able to once for all free thenm seives from bondage to the WVest as to being dependent thereon for supplies, and1( would make something handsome on cotton when next they choose to plant it.
