freight train collision occurred early
Saturday morning, in the tunnel, cans- ]
ing the death of Knglneor George Ix>ol>
and Fireman George liiuchman, and it
is believed live tramps, who were steal

a no h frozen or more firemen were "in- '

now in the hospital. All of t:ho dead
are still buried! in the wreck a go, and
the fire dopartnu-Trt has been unable
thus far to extinguish the flames,
which are slowly consuming the
smashed tars.
Operator Lantel has disappeared and
the police are looking for him. The ac
cident occurred shortly after midnight.
I The vicinity of the tunnel early in the
i day was the scene of wild excitement.

within 200 feet of "either opening, ow
, in? to the volume of flames and smoke

j Another Strike.
Kan-as City, Special.? A strike was
ordered early Saturday on all the

Railway Company. About. Jlvo hun
; dred of the fifteen 'hundred conductors,
I motormen and gripmen of this city
land Kansas Gity (Kansas) responded.
J Not enough men struck on any one
lino to make any appreciable effect on

of the union are, however, joining the
order since the strike leaders havo
| taken a stand, and it appears possible

St. Louis People Walking.
ST Louis, Special. ? Every street car
line i?i this city ir. affected by tho
great strike which was declared five
days ago. The suburban lines are run
ning as usual. Goth sides remain firm,
tho strikers refusing to recede one iota
from their demands and their employ
ers declining to accede to them. Al
though a few of the lines have been
operated, the public suffers great In
I convenience as a result of the strike,
having to depend almost entirely on
the hundreds of vehicles that, have as
sumed tho task that the street car
companion are unable to perform.
Many persons use wheels, while others
prefer to walk. The'owners of vehicles
| are making money fast, charging all
I the way from 10 to r?0 cents for a trip
! that costs but 5 cents on street cars.
! Circles are being formed by those who
I sympathize with the strikers for the

ble to walk until the strike is over,

He defeated Jim Corbett in the 23rd
round of their fight with a decisive

a sudden and startling surprise. Cor

and while he was lacking In strength
he had more than held his own and
wtood an excellent chance of winning
the fight had it gone the limit. Ho

managed to mark his man severely.

farm work.
Kurly corn has generally good
stands, and in the eastern sections is
knee high and receiving its second
plowing. Cut and heart worms are
damaging stands. In the we.-torn sec
tions bottoms are being prepared and
planted, where the ground is lit to
work, but considerable areas are yet
to plant. The cool weather yellowed
corn and cheeked its growth.
Cotton suffered from the recent cool
nights which caused it to turn red, and
mi snndy lands tho plants are dying

chopped. Recently planted cotton
needs rain to bring it up. Planting is
not finished over the western portion*.

stands, but needs rain and warmer
weather.
Tobacco is practically all planted,
and very good stands have been se
cured.
Rice was severely injured by tho
freshet in the Combahee river, but re
reived less injury from high water In
j the Georgetown district than had been
j anticipated. The cool nights were in
jurious.. Planting continues.
Wheat has not been seriously In

is heading well, but the crop as a
whole is not as promising as It. was a
month ago. Oats are ripening in
Hampton county. This crop needs rain
badly.
White potatoes have poor stands In
places, but generally are doing well,
except that bugs are very numerous.
Large shipments are being made from
