Yesterday afteruoon there was a wreck on the Southern Railway near Broadway trestle, about four miles east of the city. It happened- to the passenger train due here from Bel ton at 3.40 o'clock. The train was made up of a loaded coal car, an oil tank car, a combination mail and express car, and two passenger coaches. Juat beyond the trestle is a very abrupt curve in a cut, and I jre all the cars, except the engine and one passenger car, were derailed and turned over against the bank. The train had a number of passengers, hut, remarkable to say, not one of them or nny .-one of the train crew were injured. The track was badly torn up for a di -tance of fifty feet or more. The wrecking crew and section hands soon reached the scene and will clear the track to-day. At an early honr this morning it is not known what caused the wreck. . j The hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. S. J.

At the honr named the happy couple marched into the tastefully decorated parlor, which had been dark ened by closing the blinds and then brilliantly lighted by several lamps, which lent additional beauty and sol emnity to the scene. Immediately after the ceremony a most snmptnous feast of good things were spread, which were heartily enjoyed by all present. The bride is a most excellent and pop ular young lady of her old home sec tion, and the groom, who is a prosper ous and energetic fanner of the Starr section, is fortunate in winning her hand and heart. May Heaven's richest blessings bo their portion through life. On Christmas Day, about 8 o'clock p. m., Twine Thompson was shot and killed by Tom Rutledge. Both parties are negroes and live near the eastern suburbs of the city very near each other. The shooting occurred in a field between their houses. The diffi culty seems to have originated from the fact that Thompson tied his cow in Rutledge's field. The latter called to Thompson and ordered him to take the cow away, which, Rutledge aays, he re fused to do, and advanced on him with an open knife, when Rutledge fired, the shot killing him instantly. Rut ledge started to the city to surrender to the sheriff, claiming that he killed Thompson in self-defense. In the j meantime Deputy Dillingham had heard of the killing and started for the sc?ne. Cn the way he met Rutledge, whom he brought in and lodged in jail. That afternoon Coroner Ban ister held an inquest over the remains, and the verdict of the jury was that Thompson came to his death from a gunshot wound at the hands of Rut ledge, and that Pink Wallace, another negro, was accessory after the fact. The dead negro held in his hand loose ly anjupen knife and vVallnco is feus pected of having placed it there. Wal lace was arrested-and*lodged in jail. ) FOR RENT?Threeciinlnrtable rooms. } Apply to Mi?. F. A. Si>?lllllftD. 1 FULLMORE' Mi What This Vast Business Is Built On !
