Eight persons, it is known positively, are dead, with a probability of three more remains still ander the wreckage. A score of oth ers are more or less injured, a number of them it is- thought fatally. ? The irst section stopped at a water tank and here accounts differ as to the cause j ' of the accident. One is that no flag- 1 man went back from the first section. J Another is that a flagman went back j and &d his Maty properly, but that j the engineer of the second section was asleep and the fireman feeding his furnace.

Robert Hpaith, the negro who so brutally as saulted Mrs. Henry Bishop yesterday, and to save whose life, a number o? citizens were sbot down, paid a hor rible penalty lor bis devilish crime, shortly before 5 o'clock this morning. While* J. Allen Watts, ^Judge Woods and others were addressing the crowd, Sergeant Griffin, with two officers, took the negro from the jail and spirited him out of town. They carried him across. the river into the woods, but towards daylight they were notified that squads of men were scouring the entire adjacent country. Tbey thought it best to bring their prisoner back to town and place him in jail. They were proceeding to the jail, and ob Franklin road near Tenth avenue, a squad of men, about twenty in number, rushed upon them and took the prisoner. With shoots and yells, the determined men rushed the [ negro to the nearest tree. <?' He was hanged to a hickory limb and his body riddled with bullets and hor ribly mangled. * It was all over by 5 o'clock and the small body of men, who had done their work well, had dispersed. With the break of day crowds of people began to throng the streets leading to the scene of the tragedy in this terrible drama. The sight was horrible to behold. Dangling at the end of a small hemp rope was the dead body of the negro; His face wan Woody, distorted and swollen. A load of shot had been fired into bis back, literally tearing his coat to pieces. The job was well executed. The rope was tied in a regulation hangman's knot, and the negro's feet were well above the ground. Coroner Gray and a jury repaired early to the scene of the lynching, and after view ing the body of the dead man, render ed a verdict that the negro came to his death at the hands of persons ao 'known to them. ' A?er the inquest the officers were ordered to take charge of the body 'but the surging mass of avenging men which had by this time assembled would not let them touch him. A coal cart paesingjsear by was preoed into service and the body throwiPmto it It was then hauled to Mayor Trout's residence on "Campbell avehue, it seeming to be the intention of the mob to bury it in his front yard. At this critical moment Rev. W.- C. Campbell appeared upon the scene and told the mob that such procedure would never do. He spoke kindly, to th&xfand at last dissuaded then? from carrying ost their plan. The body during this time had not been removed fro? the cart, soat the ! suggestion of i&ey took edge mine xh it Fences were torn JHPPRor^oxes taken and some one with an axe col down several cedar trees near by.

On top. of it all the cedar boug^were thrown and then just before touching the match to iu; two gallons of coal oil were potjred o^the dry wood. The match was torched to it and the iSameB from "the burning oil shot rapid iy up? . It was an awful sight, and all present felt as if the fiend had methis just punishment It was not long before the crowd dispersed, but all the morning men ami sometime^ an occasional woman, were seen going; toward the place of burning in squads a? three and five. Every one thai west seemed to wish to contribute something to the blase by throwing a twigor chip on it "All that was remaining of Smith at noon was a few ashes and here and there a bone, but $e fire wa? still burning fiercely and those standing around ?^aid that it should bum till there was not a vestige left Mayor Trout, who was wounded in the foot with a pistol ball in /he melee last night, Was .irst oariedto the Ponce De Leon Hotel, outio wing to die threats of the mob, he wsfc remov ed from hone by his friends and iaken to the country, where he still isP ' Shortly after his departure a crowd went to the Ibnce De.Leon demand ing the Mayor.

SO SAY THEY ALL WHITE AND BLACK. . < I 1 ! > i But, Although "Well Shot," He Did Not Shoot?' The Queer Story of the Early Visit of Senator .1. L M. Irby. [United States St niiior John I aureus Manning I$y? the junior Senator frpm South fcarolinii, appeared at the , capital of thle State lie represents quite unexpectedly yesterday morning, and made nio/e than a customary sensa tion. I ' The advent of the Seuator made the talk of the day. Governor Tillman seemed to be somewhat affected by the visit of his friend, for after he had es corted ;.him to the depot on his way from the city, he did not return to his office, but drove back to the mansion and spent the rest of the day in seclusion. ; "THE CONQUERING HERO COMES." Senator Irby came to Columbia via th^-Atlantic Coast line from Wash -roglon, arriving here at 7 o'clock yeaterday morning. | He was assisted by the Pullman porter, getting out of the car late. He came through the ladies waiting room, and at t?fcout side door pulled.- out his pistol and made the only two hack men ther* at the time flee. \ Theu ;.he Senator went in one of these carriages ? sleeping most of the way, according the driver ? to the Governor's mari|ion. The Governor brought him down town, and afterward took him to the dep^tr-- accompanied by his portek William. Roee, and sent him home on the 11 o'clock 'tr^in. /The Senator HAD A BRAClvOF PISTOLS, according to one of the frightened hackmen, whioh he did not mind dis playing to the g^ze of the public. It happened to be the time wheu the police officers were "relieving" each other, ' or the junior Senator woold have been arrested. This is shown by the fact that on the police court records this moruing by the chief of police's sanction, the charge of "drunk and disorderly" and another i of "carrying concealed weapons" will be entered up against Senator Irby., THE STORY TOLD. The two hackmen who were at the station. and all others who saw Sena tor Irby, spoke very freely about it. Mr. A. C. M mink ton was in the station talking to a gentleman at the time. Mr. Moncktoa says he noticed that a druuken man was being assisted off the train by the PufTman car por ter, and turned his buck, not wishing to bother with any such people. Short ly afterwards the gentleman to whom he wa3 talking told him that the man was ABOUT TO SHOO? SOME ONE out there. He leaked, and then saw that it was Senate Ix >y. He says he did not see the pist jlh because Senator Irby's back was turned to him, he supposes. The Senitoi^as very much flushed, and seemed to be considerably intoxicated. ! j * HOW IT BEOAN. V Mr. Monckton nays he talked to a gentleman from Sumter who was on the train with the Senator. This gentleman* left Washington on the I same train with Senator Irby. He had never met Senator Irby and did not know him, but s:>on struck up a traveling acquaintance H$ did not know that Col. Irby drinking at the time but soon discovered it. Be j fore bed time he found that he was considerably uuder the influence of liquor. He then asked the Senator to excuse him and went tol>ed. He thought the effect of the liquor would wear off during the night. In the morrrrng, however, he found the Sena tor in a worse condition than before, if possible. The Pullman p6rter had disregarded this geutleman's order to wake him lor Sumter and 'he was brought on here. He intimated that the porter was perhaps, inebriated too. He said he tried to g?t the conductor to keep the Senatoi^on the train, and finding hirp willing to do so, was sur prised to see him get off. ! THIS HACKMAN "WHO FLED. One of the hackmen, Shed Furgess, the man who took Senator I rby to the exiecutive mansion, when seen, said that he and John Richardson, another hackman, were standing near the door of the waiting room in front of their hacks, when the Senator came through the room. He was supported by the Pullman porter. He tried to get some money out of hie p^>cket Rich ardson asked him if he wanted a hack to take him up. The next thing he knew the Senator had a pistol flour ished before Richanlson's face, and looked as if he was going to shoot. Furgess ran, leaving his hack, around by the eating house kitchen to get out of the way. After awhile he came back and found that Richardson had placed the Senator in his (Furgess') hack. Senator Irby told him he was not going to hurt him, and to carry^' him to the Governor's mansion. On the way to the mausion he took out the pistol once or twice, but slept most of the way. Wbenj he got there he pulled out the pistol, first, so he could get his pocketbook, bat paid him his fare, 25 cents, and he drove off, hear ing the Senator say he was in a bad tlx.; j nil) BEHIND HIS CARRIAGE. The other hackman says he <li<l not see the Senator get off the ?ar hut saw him when he got to the door of the waiting room opening into the station. He was-staggering and the Pullman porter was supporting him. The por ter | led him up to the outside door. He pulled his pocket book out of his left hip pocket The hackman saw a pistol in that pocket as the Senator took that book out He let the pocket book ?rop on the floor. Then he went into ifcome other pocket and gave the porter some change. He asked the Senator if he wanted a carroge and he at once PULLED A PISTOL OUT \ of his right hip pocket and stuck it ha his face. He says "I was scared and ran behind my carriage. Shed run around behind the station. He told me he wa'nt going to hart me and I came out He had his pistol pointed at my horse. I told him not to shoot my horse. Hp then asked me which carriage was .mine. ~ I didn't want him in my carriage and I told him Shed's carriage was mine. He then got in Shed's carriage and Shed had to come oat and take him up. He got in the i : l"' carnage holding bis pistol in his hand and the last I saw of him he hail it in his hand yet He looked pretty shab by aud his eyes looked red. It was af[*r train time, and there was nobodv around but us, Moncktou aud a few rail read men." SAW TIIE PISTOL. e *![i yardmasler of thfe South Carolina Railway, was just above on the piazza of the station when be heard the fuss and looked' over the balustrade. He saw an lntoxipated man down there with a pistol in his hand, but j?id very little attention to the disturbance. One or two other liable white meu were witnesses to the^ttair, but the above covers their storyofthe 6V6D t& SENT TCXJHIS HOME. Of course it i, not known what r^pared at the executive mansion, as that is entirely a private matter.

A Mob .storms the Jail to Get a Krutal Nogro^liut arc Repulsed, Ten Kill e<J hikI Numbers IStully k Wounded. Ro&hoke, Va , Sept.^20. ? One of the most dastardly crimes in the his tory of the city occurred at about 10 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Henry S. Bishop, aged about fifty years, and a respectable white woman, from Cloverdale, eight miles from this city, was euticed by a negro named Thom as Smith, from the market, where she had coine to sell produce, into an empty saloon basement. There he beat her into insensibility and robbed her of her pocketbook, containing less thau 82. The woman was left for dea<^, but managed to revive a few moments later and crawled up to the street, where she told her story. The : fiend hat! in the meantime escaped, but was detected, from the description given by Mrs. Bishop, boarding an outgoing train. A color ed manjjumped on the car, and grab bing the criminal, the two fell to the ground, A crowd immediately sur rounded the pfisoner, and threats of lynching were loud and frequent. De tective W. W. Baldwin seized the man, and, hol'diug the crowd at bay with his revolver, started on horse back, with the frightened negro l>e hind him.-: He rode to the saloon j where ihe wounded woman was re moved, and she positively identified him. He was then taken to jail. A crdwd gathered around the jail,*! and kept increasing as nighty aj> approached. At 5 o'clock the ftoa- | noke Light Infantry marched to the jail, by order of Mayor Trout. Guards were poeted and the streets in the im mediate vicinity cleared. About dark the crowd wis increase! i by a hun dred men from the vicinity of the ! woman 'e home, headed by Mrs. Bish op's son. a fireman on the Norfolk and Western Ivailroad. At 8 (o'clock a portion of the mob battered at a side door of the jail, where the militia and Mayor Trout had retired. The shooting was com menced by the mob, and the Mayor was shot in the foot. The militia *ere then ordered to return the fire, and a volley from about twenty- five ne<| was poured into the mob.

Several speeches were mafle after the militia retired, and Judge Woods of the H listing Court assured the mob that the negro Smith had been re moved from the jail, and accompanied two of the crowd through the jail to prove the truth of the statement. His statemnt and the speech of J. Allen Watts, the Democratic candidate for the State Senate, did much to pacify the crowd. But they hung around the jail and adjacent Streets for sever al hours afterwards, many dispersing to search for the secreted prisoner. At midnight the scene had quieted down, and no further trouble is expected. The militia remain under xhe mayor's orders, although it is probable that they will not be called out again.
