Columbia, S. C.. Special.?A hearing

Tuesday in the matter of the
double wrecTi on the 9th of September
st Catawba bridge on the Seaboard,
when a number of lives were lost by
leason of the passenger train leaving
Ihe bridge, shortly after midnight, and
a freight train following 10 minutes
later, falling in on the wreckage, tin
tho part of tho railroad, the witnesses
were examined by Mr. J. L. Glenn, of
Chester, district attorney for the Seaboard,
and Chairman Garris conducting
the examination for the State. Among
the spectators was Mr. John ICarle, of
Greenville, commissioner-elect. Commissioner
Caughman's report was read,
lr which ho pointed out the possible
cause of the wreck being the breaking
of the liolt retaining the front trucks
ef the passenger engine. In this broken
bolt he had detected au old crack. He
also criticised tho road for having the
second train run so close as to render
its flagging impossible. He thought a
speed of 10 rnlh's an hour too great for
tills bridge.
In reply to this. General Suporinton- .
dent linger read his report of the accident
to President Barr, in which lie
ciscwveren uiai mo cainsiropne was
; robably due to a rail being unsplke 1,
the retaining bars of the no t rail
being found unbroken and their bolts
discovered in good condition nearby.
lr. the circumstances there was no time
to flag the second train and for that
reason it was impossible to prevent the
double wreck. The physical condition of
tho bridge, which was only two years
old. was perfect, as was admitted, and |
Mr. linger would not hesitate to run a
l-assenger train over such a bridge at a
rate of 60 miles an hour.
These witnesses were sworn for the
railroad: it. I>\ Luther, master mechanic;
A. L. Monroe, inspector of engines;
Janus Durkin, inspector of
bridges; General Superintendent linger;
It. F. West, conductor on wrecked
passenger train; Pink Carpenter, colored,
flagman; G. H. Monies, engineer;
T. C. Link and J. .1. Duncan, of freight
crew; P. K. Sanders, train master.
The witnesses for the State were
Commissioner Cough man and two citizens
of lteddy, a station ncr the scene
cf the accident, It. W. Patton and T.
K. Geddys.
The testimony was all one way and
ae railroad people had no difficulty in
proving that the accident was probably
due to a rail being unspiked. Ifisinterotcd
witnesses testified that they
found angle liars and bolts untapped
and unbroken on the ground just beneath
the first break in the trest'e,
that the threads in the bolts were nbroken
and that a number of unbent
spikes were found near the same spot.

that h? did not know whether it wai
carelessness on?the part of the employe
or a defect in the engine that
caused the explosion. Garner was
given medical attention, and it Is not
thought that his hurts will result
seriously. It is said that a heavy
woolen shirt worn by Garner was responsible
for his comparatively slight
injuries; that otherwise his clothing
would have probably ignited and he
would have been burned to death.

After Their Army
BLOODSHED GROWS APPALLING
One of the Bloodiest Battles in History
Still Raging South of Mukden,
the Russian Advance Having Been
Converted Into a Stubbornly Fought
Retreat?Whole Regiments Mowed
Down on Both Sides.
Tho main armies of Russia and
Japan in Manchuria continue to be
engaged in a elesperato struggle for
supremacy south of Mukden. On both
aides there have been such looses in
killed and wounded as mark the contest
for one of losses In killed and
wounded. Already the losses at L.iao
Yang liave been approximated and
the indications aro that they will be
exceeded, that of the Russians up to
roon of October 14 being estimated at
15.000. Tho Russian advance has
been converted into a -stubbornlyfought
retreat, Thei result, according
to the Russians, is still to be determined.
Reports from thy. "Wtiss4uiileft
wing are lacking, leaving room
for question if part of Gene ral Kuroputkin's
army is not in worse extremity
than tho centre and right were at
any stage 01 the battle On both
sides the soldiers have shown the tit
most tenacity and bravery and whole
regiments have gone down before the
flro of the enemy. In oilicial circles
m St. Petersburg there is a disposition
to argue that e von should Genei;.l
Kuropatkin be obliged to retire
upon Mukden his position will bo
quite as favorable an il was when th ;
crilor to advance was given on October
tl; and that on tho ??t!ior hand
?ho,Japanese powers <>f future rosislanio
will haw been materially wiakened.
There is no news from Fori
Arthur.
Gloom in St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg. Rv Cable.?Tho great
feeling of concern which exists in cir- i
cIob in the Russian capital by no rneas j
equals the foreboding of coming disaster
pervading the general public,
which is indulging in the deepest pessimism.
In the. absence of official
news, the publcc is being fed on the
wildest rumors of defeat suffered by
General Kuropatkin. The fact that
nr word regarding the battle has been
ollleially given out only confirms the
popular fear. The explanation offered
that it was a holiday docs not suffice
to ally the apprehension.
General Kuropatkin's report, of tho
result of tho day's operations has
reached Emperor Nicholas at Tasarkoe
Solo, but it had not been returned
here before the war commission,
which sat only until 'J o'clock, hail adjourned.
The Emperor himself is represented
as being bitterly disappointed,
and spending hours with his cabinet,
studying out, with the help of
his military aids, the reports of tno
battle. Tho general staff, however, by
no means despairs. Though admitting
that the tide in the last two
days has been against General Kuropatkin,
the general staff sa"s tho battle
is not yet over, and that in any
event there is no question of a rout.
lno depressing feature or the situation
is tliat everyone is willing to 1m>
lieve tht; worst. Thus, reports from
Tokio and elsewhere, stating that the
Japanese are advancing and that the
Russians are falling back are accepted
with faith based upon the previous
Russian retreat.
Naturally many reports are current
as to the genesis of the forward movement.
It is freely stated that General
Kuropntkin was forced into taking the
offensive by uressure by the authorities
here. This has been officially
denied, and as General Kuropatkin's
order to advance was given over his
own signature, it seems likelv that he i
will have to bear all the responsibility,
whether the situation is of his own
making or not. ,
Friends of General Keropatkin eaJd
the present offensive movement was
inspired from St. Petersburg, as was
doubtless General Stakelberg's movement
for the relief of Port Arthur, and
that iT Kuropatkin's star has set.
others higher than ho are responsible.
At the same time, the supporters of
General Kuropatkin argue that, whatever
may be the direct outcome of
the past few (lavs' fighting, it is not
likely to he an irretrievable disaster
to the Russian army.
Dispatches from the front give a
vivid picture of the desperate character
of the fighting along the whole
line. The Kusian plainsmen have
been again forced to engage in hill
fighting, which Is little? ti their liking.
There have been desperate and
repeated attacks upon almost inaeessible
positions, which leave no question
of the resolution and gallantry
of the Russian forces. Guns have been
captured and -e-captured in fierce
hand-to-hand conflicts.
The latest word direr,ly from ,ho
field of battle is the Mukden dispatch
to the Associated Press, ii which it
is stated that 15,000 Ruslans had
been wounded, which, together with
the day's casualities, would make the
total probably exceed tho figures of
L:ao Yang, and inane the fight rank
as one of the bloodiest battles in bis
tory.
