HU Head Wa» HU by a Mall Crane—Not Serloua. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Tom North, the engineer on train 38 on t^eJFlorida Central and Peninsular road, was painfully, but fortunate ly not seriously injured, while bringing bis train up from Savan nah. The engineer saw that his engine had run a hot crank pin and he was leaning out of the cab window watching it as the machine was speeding along just before reaching Denmark. He leaned out a little too far while thus en gaged and struck his head against a mail crane on the side of the road. He was knocked from his cab seat by the force of the col lision. The blow was an exceed ingly severe one. Conductor Glass wired ahead to Columbia for a physician to meet the train and then went on the engine himself, bringing the train on into Colum bia. Last evening Mr. North was better after having his head ban daged, and wanted to make his run back to Savannah at mid night as usual. His physician ad vised against this, however.—Tie State. Mr. North was once a conductor on the Coast Line and made his home in Florence. He is a mem ber of Harmony Lodge No. 8, Knights of Pythias.

Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 26. Col. Jose Reyes, aide-de-camp of General Maceo, wounded and en- route to New York for medical treatment and with dispatches to the Junta, passed through here yesterday. He says the fighting in the Ru hi hills of Piuar del Rio was the mosc sanguinary battle of the war. He claims that 2,000 of Weyler’a men were killed in two days and twice as many wounded. Weyler went to the field with 35,000 men in three columna, one of 19,000 under himself, one of 15,000 under General Echague, and a third column under General Munoz. They found Maceo entrenched in a cresent shaped range of hills. When at the foot of the hills the Spanish were met with a wither ing fire that cut gaps in their ranks. Maceo’s men shot from behind mcks and trees and gradually gave way before the Spaniards who, en couraged by what they thought It be victory, pursued them. Suddenly a deafening explosion rent the air and a scene followed somewhat like the mine horror at Petersburg during the civil war. Horses and men were blown high in the air and fell to the earth dead and mangled. The dyna mite mine was touched off by John Linn, formerly aL this who is Maceo’s electrician. Ma- ceo then let loose his dynamite guns, prepared by Linn, and more havoc was wrought. In the mine explosion Colonel Reyes says Weyler lost 700 men killed and 500 more in the charge besides 1,600 wounded. Next day Maceo knowing of the reserve force under Weyler retreated to an even stronger position. There he was attacked by the column under Echague, who was roundly thrashed and driven from the field losing 800 men killed, be sides 1,300 wounded. Next day Maceo retreated again, manoeuvring all the while to lead Weyler into a field that hfed been honeycombed with dynamite. Meanwhile, ho vever,General Wey ler, hearing that there was danger of an uprising in Havana because of his failure to crush Maceo, hastened back to that city. back to the field MORE GOLD CERTIFICATES.

From the Hampton Guardian The Guardian fails to see what good can come of twitting the Pal- mer-Buckner advocates at this time. It is equally useless to be predicting where these misguided citizens shall stand in future poli tical contest in South Carolina. The Guardian favors white unity as a necessity in this State, and it deprecates any movement, any dis cussion, calculated to divide the white people.
