riving members of the train crew to
pull the dead and dying from the
tangled heap of wood and iron. People
rente from Hamlet and Roekingliain
to assist, and all night the work
was kept up. When the tirst grey
morning light ennte 11) dead bodies, in'luding
those of two babies, had been
found. Some of the injured managed
to get themselves free, others were
1'omitl oinlli'il down stnvprnl won- mi
nnseions. As soon as it was possible
a train was brought front Monroe;
the injured were placed on this,
with the bodies of most of the dead
icgroes. The dead were taken off
it Rockingham and Monroe, ihe injured
at Charlotte. Two of the injured
died en route.
The wreck is supposed to have been
aused by the failure of the telegraph
tperator at Ro. kitighatu to deliver
rders to the jwtssenger train to met
he freight train. The passenger, it
is said, had no orders to meet the
freight and it is the presumption that
he freight overlooked its orders. It
is also staled thai a lap order eaused
the e.itast rophe. The passenger
I rain, this re|>orl states, had orders
o meet the freight at Hamlet, white
[ho freight's orders was to meet the
oasseuger at Rockingham. ,
The freight was it it extra fruit train
westward hnuiul. The two trains collided
with an awful roar and erash
in a deep out one mile from Hamlet.
Kngineer Lewis and his fireman was
instantly killed and death eame in the
winkling of an eye to the passengers
u the colored coach.
The scene is indescribable. The
wreckage is piled high on the tracks
t in I traffic is completely blocked.
Hot It the second and first cla?s conch's

passengers were simply ground to

horribly mangled and some of those

The engineer and lirentan of the
freight train jumped and escaped

people was torn all to pieces and
everyone in it who did not meet death
was more or less seriously injured.
Roth engines were demolished and the
baggage cars and coaches were jumbled
together in an unsightly mass.

IN CHARLOTTE HOSPITALS
Wounded Victims of Hamlet Wreck
Being Oared For
Charlotte, N. C? Spceini.?The
special train bearing the *23 injured
colored people reached Charlotte Monday
morning at 7 o'clock. It consisted
ol' three express cars, in which
were placed regular passenger coach
seats for tire comfort of the sufferers.
Toe live injured white people
were taken to Buckingham for treatment.
It is thought that they will
recover. Nearly all of the others are
setiouslv injured.
Dr. I!. M. Wilder, resident physieian
for the Seaboard Air Line, with
a eorps of other Charlotte physicians
hastily summoned, met the train and
attended to the removal and treatment
of the sufferers. A number
of physicians from Hamlet, Rockingham
and other towns on the Seaboard,
came in on the special train. The patients
were taken immediately to the
ISood Samaritan Hospital, where they
are being shown every attention.
One of the injured died before the
train reached Charlotte. Another
breathed his last before the hospital
was reached. Their names ar enot
dttninable. Dr.. H. M. Wilder states
that the majority of the 22 yet liviuir
are seriously injured. A number
of them will probably not live
through the night.
The Hood Samaritan Hospital is a
scent of eoufuaioii. The hospital is
surrounded by a large crowd of the
curious who are anxious to gain admittance.
The groans of the suffering
ones adds to tin horror of the

It is almost impossible to got nn
accurate account of the wreck t'rom
any of the colored ]>eop|e. A reporter
asked two or three to state how it
nil happened, but they could tell nothing
about it that is different from the
report sent out from ITainlet. Nearly
all those who were injured were
uncousrious for an hour or more after
the disaster. The second class ear.
one of the colored ^teople states, is a
mass of ruins. It was turned rone
pletely over, crushing: its occupants
almost beyond recognition. This tnan.
who received an ugly gash in the

but Charles A. (ioimlniu, member

United States judge who will sign

his whole energy and large private
fortune to the cause of his honor,
whieh he staked in eourt wlo-n he was
on trial for fraudulent nee of the
mails that he would not ap|x>al should
he be found guilty. To redeem himself
in his own eyes from what he
claims was an uunu!hori/.ed and fraudulent
act in violation of his word?on
the part of his lawyer in suing
his removal from tin penitentiary
ami release on hail, he is exhausting
every endeavor to <5't haek into the
penitentiary and serve out the full
term of four years and six months imposed
by the judge at his own re<|uest.
He hopes to he able to reaeh one
of the supreme court justiees with
his plea, or else find some other plan
to gel haek into the Joliet j>eniieiitiarv.
If he fails, he says, he will build
a private penitentiary at Joliet, and
serve out his spnter.ee in liis own penitentiary
under exactly the same conditions
as it' he was a prisoner in the
government penal institution.

For Week Ending Monday, July 23,
1906. as Given Out by th? Ds
partment.
One ?>f the main features of the
week's weather was the continuation
of excessive cloudiness that has been
characteristic a feature since the
first of the month, although in many
localities there was slightly more, sunshine
than there was in the two previous
week clear days having been
noted in various parts of the Stnte
on Friday ami Saturday.
The temperature was quite uniform
throughout the entire week with it*
noteworthy variation from the normal
or seasonal heat. The weekly range
in temperature was from a minimum
of t>2 degrees at Greenville on the.
38th to a maximum of !H> degrees at
Heath Springs on the 20th.
There were numerous showers and
thunderstorms during the week, rain
li:i \"i nil ii* t', i! I >?i mi lYimi tlit-nn )?? wiw
(lays in nearly every part of the State.
The weekly amounts of rainfall were
generally above normal at all stations.
while in the extreme northwestern
border range of counties the rainfall
was excessive, having been six
inehas or more, for the week, with a
maximum fall of ti.SH inches at. Clemson
College. These heavy rains and
so rue that fell in the central and eastern
counties, damaged lands locally
by washing them and flooded bottom
lands on small streams, but caused
j.o vary high water in the larger rivers.
Great Damage By Storms.
Greenville, Sjiecinl.?For three successive
days Greenville has been visited
by severe thunder storms accompanied
by terrific rains. Up to
this time no one has been killed by
lightning, but three houses have been
struck in the city and several persons
have been stunned. The first damage
done by this series of storms oerurr?

Cnmperdown warehouse was struek

to burn out the motor on a
trolley ear. slim-king the occupants
severely. Of the 9.r>0 telephone, stations
