It was only a kid game and there are grown-ups who will say that a i kid game is not of much conse- i quence, but the man who never ; played ball when he was a kid has I missed something that will never I come to him again. There is no I kind of loyalty, town State and country, that will measure up to kid , loyalty when rival teams are match-: i ed in a ball game. The kid will make any kinc of secrifice, he it an arm, a leg or his life, to insure victory for his home town in t a hotly contested ball game. Defea' at the hands of a rival team is worse than death; the sun goes into eclipse and a pall of gloom over- 3 spreads the entire earth. I-.ife is t simply not worth living.

Charleson awoke this morning to find ai: tcene of devastation and ruin, folowing a night of great terror with he visitation of another cyclone which surreptiously crept in from he ocean with short notice of its j mining from the United States! weather bureau. The damages are tot comparable to the losses of jroperty interests in the great itorms of 185 and 1803, but the listurbance was protracted over trobubly a longer period of time han any of these previous hurri:anes and with the roaring of the J winds, torrential showers, the roll- ] ng of tins off houses, flying of dates, falling of trees and smash >f buildings and parts of buildings, while the storm waged during the t?lack hours of night, a scene of :onfusion and terror was created which probably had its counterpart [>nly on the night of the earthquake nut in the previous hurricanes. Besides the heavy property loss reported or estimated, eight or ten persons are believed to have been killed. The disturbance, after lasting 20 hours in Charleston during which the wind attained a velocity uf i) 4 inilest an hour, moved toward the west, and now according to the reports of the weather bureau, has gone well inland, passing between Columbia and Augusta, thus removing any further danger. Residents of Sullivan's Island suffered less than was expected, the last reports being that the wind had subsided and that there had been no injury to islanders. The damage suffered was shared b.y the crop and by property in Charleston, largely along the waterfront. Beaufort is still cut off from communication, as is Georgetown, but no fears are felt for the latter town. Charleston, Aug. 28 (via Summerville, Aug. 28.) ? Seven persons known to be dead, many injure^ and property damage of more than $1,000,000 seems to be the lotal of damage wrought by strom ?cre. The dead. E. R.

Great rleief was felt when it vas learned late to-day that the eople on Sullivan's Island were ill safe, many having been taken >ff by the ferry boat Lawrence, vhich tied up overn ight at the dount Pleasant wha-f. After a perilous night, clinging o a roof top, Ernest Hiodge, a midlie aged man, was rescued this norniug at daybreak by the crew >f the Consolidated Power Station in the Meet'ng street road. Hodge occupied a lonely little nttage, located in the marsh grass >ack of Cedar street. With him vere two white women, Ida Morgan , ind Rosa Robinson, both of Chareston. About 11 o'clock last night, vith the storm at its worst, the himney fell In. Hodges states that le jumped through the window, eaving the two women in the room, iwimming around for a while, he lung to the roof of the little I louse which had fallen in.

The police were .t once notified and sent the halfIrowtud man to the city hospital. Pumps were used by the doc-1 ors to get water from Hodge's ungs.

BEATTIE MAKES BftD SUP I MAKES MOVE SHOWING FAMILIARITY F WITH THE 6UN THE PBOGRESSTF THE TRIAL 1 PixKwution Scores Heavily With V Several lni|K>rtant Witnesses. Ilrief Summary of Trial. Cheeterfield Court House, Va.,j August 30. ? The prosecution has s scored heavily during the past I o w days in the trial of young Hen- d ty Beattie, Jr., charged with hav-jt ing murdered his wife on a pub-1 f lie highway near Richmond. De- fi spite the fact that he has been p forced to face the most damaging ii testimony young Beattie main- a tains ivis taim demeanor and there's are 110 outward jigni of the terri-1 r hie struggle that may be ^ waging m his breast to conceal hisje real feelings. Summed up briefly t the vvosecution has introduced tes- d timony to show? t 'J hat Beattie concealed by the s roa.'ls'de the gun with which the gun was crime was committed. I j That he was seen near the spot v where the crime was committed c just about sundown. T licit it W a a t ho firct Ttic wife had ever been out riding with him after dark. That a party of boys returning from a dance passed the Beattie automobile at a spot where the crime was committed and that Beattie appeared to be fixing a tire while his wife stood on the running board. That it was impossible for the woman to have been shot while she was sitting in the automobile. I That blood spots in the roadway S could not have dripped through the | foot board of the automobile. That blood hounds trailed Beattie I to the stump where the gun was | concealed, then back to the auto! mobile and the trail was losL That Beattie's wife screamed just I before the gunshot was heard and that it was 10 minutes before the automobile started. An Unconsidered Trifle. An unconsidered trifie ? just the flicker of an impulse to action? came nearer to wrecking the defence to Henry Clay Beattie, the young man being tried for his life here, this afternoon than anything that has come out of the mouths of witnesses against him. ! Beattie would have betrayed a (deeply incriminating knowledge j concerning a certain exhibit offered against him by the Commonwealth if the quick hand of his counsel had not stayed him. Commonwealth Attorney WendenI burg was asking Luther L. Scherer, I ehitl c l the secret service of the l Chesapeake an*'. Ohic Railroad and (the detective who has gathered up : most of the evidence against Beat- , tie, to identify the exploded shell (that lemained in tht* br#??r*h <?r tho rusty shotgun believed to he the fc one with which the murder of Mrs. I1 Beattie was done. Scherer ex-^ tracted the shell from the bore, said 1 it was the identicaJ shell that j1 | had been found therein on the |1 | morning after the murder, closed | 1 the breech and handed the gun to; Harry M. Smith, Jr., counsel for i the prisoner, at counsel's request. I Smith turned the old style gun | this way and that and fumbled ' with tfre breech. Just, then the ; j: young man whom he is defending leaned eagerly forward as if to as sist and laid his hand on the small of the stock prep- j atory to breaking the gun at the breech. His action was im- s pulsive and swiftly sure. Attorney Smith brushed the young man's hand away, turned hi6 o back on him and opened the gun, c but Beattie's action did not entirely f escape the eyes of one of the jur- c nrc s- * " i.mii ncimmjl Jt? It li> IlilUie illiu u be is of the solid jawed, ruminating type of juryman. The juror v nudged his neighbor and nodded his s head at Beattie. But by that time e t.iere was nothing for juror No. 2 f to see. h This was the gun. archaic in its breaking mechanism and altogether c pulling, which according to young i Beattic's story he had in his hands c only so long as it took him to L wrench it from the grip of the t highwayman he has described as c the murderer of his wife in the dark of Midlothian turnpike and! to cast it into the rear of the au- j tomobile. Not since that time had j he been able to view it or learn 1 i, its mechanism. Aso to how Henry Beattie will stand the inquisition when the j prosecution brings out strongly the story of his life with Beulah before w and after his marriage to Louise ? Owen is not much of a question. He i i has the steel nerves of a desperado. K He can face anything from the bit- j d ter grief of his father to the elec- i h trie chair. jV L. O. Wendenhurg, special counsel L engaged by the Owen family to i b prosecute Henry, has brought ter- j ^ ribly powerful evidence against the R' accused. He has brought one of the f' loaded shells found in the woods near the murder. He has brought r a witness who found the gun near the scene of the crime. He has zi brought witnesses to show the mur- li der could not have been commit-11< ted by a wayfarer while Mrs. Beat-; t< tie was in the car, because there is tl no trace of blood in the car, leak- e Ing down to the road, and there v was a great pool of blood in the r road. a He has brought witnesses to ?

After leaving here he rent to Winston-Salem where he; ontracled a severe case of pncunonia. His illness impaired hisi lealth to such an extent that he ras advised by experts to seek the nild climates of the west. He went rest, improved in health and reurned to Winston-Salem where he J ras married to Ella Layman, aj iraduate of Salem Female College, wcompanied by his bride he re-i urned to the west and was in the ;niploy of a bridge construction ompany when lie met his tragic leath. The greater part of Mr. Barlow's ife in the west was spent in Colorado, Ariz, Oklahoma and Californa, doing open air work. He was in excellent manaeer of labor and he company that had him eruploy*d shifted him from one state to mother in its brige construction vork. He had heen in Mexico only i short while when he met his leath. His wife who went with tim in his travels was at El Paso, Pexas, when she received news of lis death. Mr. Barlow had many friends lere and elsewhere who will be leeply grieved to hear of his unimely and tragic death. He was a member of the First Baptist church of Lenoir, N.

Order of Execution. In the last throw of the dice in his game of two women and a nan should bring Henry Beattie ino tlie high walled penitentiary in tichmond to meet his doom, the 'oung man will have need of every iit of his remaining nerve, for the hair in the death chamber of tichniond peuitentiary is in the iame room with the switchboard vith its dials and lights. In New York all this apparatus if death is hidden from the conlemned man. Here it is all heore the gaze until he sits in the :har and the black cap is shoped ver his head. Some believe that his suicide vill close the case, as he is given so nuch liberty that it would be an asy matter for him to secure a ew grains of potassium or even a nstol. Henry spent to-day in a large omfortable cell in the Richmond itv jail. He was taken from 'hosterfield last evening because a aige number of rats, attracted by be focd. bothered him in the tiivy id fashioned lockup out there. TWO HKM> FOR MURDKR. i. (?. Crapse and I>.

Plying in the same aeroplane, driven by the same motor with which he started from St. Louis 12 days ago, Harry N. Atwood Friday afternoon finished splendidly his record-breaking air journey of 1,26f> miles and landed safely on Governors Island, at New York. | The previous record of 1,1 f>4 miles, made by Koenig and Iluechner in Germany, required thirty days under conditions far less trying than those which the American aviator pluckily surmounted Starting from the metropolis of i the Mississippi Valley at five minutes after eight on the morning of August 14, Atwood has flown oveT the Mississippi river. the Illinois river, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, the Mohawk river, the Hudson and ' many lesser streams and inland lakes too numerous to mention. He has traveled over the table-like praries of Illinois, the wild desoi late sand hills of upper Indiana, ! tlie thickly populated agricultural 1 country of Ohio, the manufacturing regious of Pennsylvania and the rugged, picturesque landscape of ! northern New York. In uirtnalUu f1ui.,n Vi.,tf ,1.21V biplane. In these feats, Atwood, during liis flight from St. Ijouis to New York, has opened entirely new phases of aeroplane possibilities. He has achieved the things that Wilbur Wright and other eminent authorities have pronounced impossible. He has shown that the aeroplane can land and start from the moun-: tain peaks as well as from valleys. This practically means that the aeroplane has subjugated all conditions of the earth. Threw Away at least $30,000, He refused to flv to shppnshAad Bay race track because "iie did not like the way the prcynoter of the enterprise had planned the event. "1 don't care to finish this trip in this way for the sake of a few thousand dollars," he said last night.: This is characteristically Atwoodian. Because something about the' proposition offended his fastidious taste he declined to grasp opportun(Continued on page 8.) 'J J i across the American continent to his ; goal on the Atlantic coast he has ; passed over the cities of St. Louis, .Springfield, Chicago, Elkhart and ! Cleveland and has made detours j around Erie, Buffalo, Rochester, Sy! racuse, Utica, Schenectedy and Albany and flown the length of New York City. In the course of his special journey Atwood guided his craft thru the atmospheric conditions that prevail over virtually every section of this continent. He has flown against winds that blew with such velocity that his craft almost stood still. He has scudded over the countryside with winds that drove his aeroplane so fast that he traveled 120 miles an hour. He flew in .sunshine, in rainstorms and with tnunder and lightning playing aiound his frail vehicle of laths ; and canvas. He has done these things flying ; continuously day after day. Yet, in spite of the fact that his ma; chine began to show the signs of terrific strains when he landed at Charleston, near Albany, on Wed-, i nesday, his pluck and perseverance, I backed by his marvelous skill as a pilot of the air, enabled him to finthe remarkable journey with no 'essential part of his craft changed. The motor in Atwood's biplane is practically wrecked. It will need overhauling and it requires a tuorough rest. But the biplane itself, which has passed through such unprecedented vicissitudes, is as good to-day as on the morning it hegan to carry the young aviator on his flight to New York. But Atwood seems brighter and fresher now the flight is done than when he started. His reserve of nervous power seems inexhaustable. His lean face shows no sign of weariness, his blue eyes flash a imperiously brilliant as if he bad just started. The flight that would : have wrecked almost any living aviator has seemed a diversion to him. On Thursday Atwood landed with the wind on a narrow peak 1,300 feet above the Hudson. He cleared it like a bird when he started Later in the day he landed in the killside arena at Upper Nyack. sixty feet square, which stood rockily at an angle of fifty-five degrees.

At least thirty-seven persons are to night believed to have been killer and more than sixty injured, as a result of the wrecking to-day o? l^ehigh Valley passenger train No 4 Speeding eastward behind time, the train ran into a spread rail on a trestle near here, and two day coaches plunged, crashing downward 40 feet striking the east embankment like a pair of projectiles. The wreck was one of the most disastrous ever recorded on the system. Crowded with passengers. many ot whom were war veterans and excursionists from the G. A. R. encampment, at Rochester, the train was made up of fourteen c are. drawn by two big engines, was 4 0 minutes late when it reached Rochester Junction, and from there sped eastward to make up time before reaching Geneva. The engines and two day coaches had just passed the centre of a 400-foot trestle, over Canadaigua Outlet, 15o yards east of the station at Manchester, at 12.35 o'clock, when the Pullman car "Austin." the third of a long train, left the rails. It dragged the dining car with it and two day coaches and two Pullmans, in this order, followed. All bumped over the ties a. short distance when the coupling .between day coach No. 237 and the rt'ar end of the diner broke. The forward end of the train dragged the derailed Pullman "Austin" and diner, safely over the trestle, after which t?bey plunged down the south |embankmt-Dt and rolled over.

Both cars were filled with pas- "s sengers. in a few moments the cars lay a chaotic mass of shattered wood, metal and glass, under which a hundred men and women and children , many of whom were killed instantaneously, were buried. The greatest destruction occurred in the day coach, which, after following the first over the trestle, snapped its rear coupling and thus saved the rest of the train from being dragged along. This second day coach struck on the bottom end up, the rear end projecting a few feet, above the top of the trestle. All of the passengers in this car were piled [ in a tangled mass of broken seats at the bottom of the car. Indescribable pandemonium followed. The Pullman car "Evelyn," which remained on the bridge, with one end projecting over the gulch., and several cars behind it derailed and in immediate danger of going over the mass of wreckage below, were soon emptied of all their passengers, who, aided by gangs of railroad employees from the big freight yards at Manchester, rushed to aid the injured. It was several minutes, however, before anybody reached the cars at the bottom to help the victims. The cars did not catch fire. Axes were secured and body after body .xmvicu niiu iHiTieu uy ine rcscurers kneedeep in the river bed to the bank on the west side of the trestle. There the dead and injured were laid out on the ground and a field hospital established. It was more than an hour before many of the injured eouid be removed and special trains from both Geneva and Rochester brought physicians, nurses and medical supplies. Hundreds awaited treatment, and the railroad station at Manchester, a cider mill and an ice houso were used to give temporary stiei ter and treatment to the suffering It was necessary to chop throug i the sides and bottom of the di:coach at the bottom and the work of removing the victims moved with painful slowness. Death had come quickly to many, a large number (t the dead having their skulls crush ed in when they were throwi against the car seats and projections. The mortality was high among the older passengers, most of whom were veJt*rans of the civil war, and their wives. The dead removed from the wreck and brought to a moreue ai Shortville, near here, at 9 o'clock to-night number 23. Two other persons died in Rochester from their injuries. Several other persons arc lying in hospitals at Rochester, and Clifton Springs with probably fatal injuries. The number of injured will reach sixty. Owing to the fact that the derailed dining car, in going into the ditch east of the trestle, had brought down several telegraph poles, with scores of wires, tele- v graphic service was broken, and will not be restored until to-morrow. At** had to be summond by telephon Coroner D. A. Elsline, of Shortsvlll took charge of the work at th? wreck, assisted by Coroners Arm (Continued on PMte 4.) 'mm
