RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACCIDENTSSouthern Railway Likely to Lay Blame Entirely on Employees for Disobedience of Rules. Columbia, May lo.?The frequency with which disastrous railroad wrecks have occurred in this State within the past several months on account of carelessness of employees, and in some cases their oj en violation of orders and rules , and regulations, is steadily crystallizing public sentiment in favor of the passage by the next legislature of an act making railroad employees criminally liable for disobeying orders or violating importaflt rules which endanger the lives of passengers. A number of the leading newspapers of the State have taken the matter up and are urging the passage of such a law, and the railroad officials say such a law must come sooner or later in all the States. In this connection it is pointed out by railroad officials of high position that the Ogden special which crashed into a freight working in the Greenville yards recently was an extra and, therefore, "inferior" in the eyes of the rules regulating the running of trains to a "second class" train, and that Engineer James Hunter should have brought it into the Greenvill yards "under full control expecting to find the main track occupied." And this is the position that the Southern will likely assume at the investigation to be held before the railroad commission on the 23rd, as to the cause of the wreck of the Ogden special. Paragraph "I" of the "rules," on which the ugaen special crew uau pa??tu au examination a few months ago, provides: "Yard limits are indicated by sign boards reading, 'Yard Limit,' located on either side of Charlotte,Columbia,Alston, Newberry, Greenwood, Hodges, Belton, Pelzer, Piedmont, Greenville, Batesburg, Trenton, Warrenville,Hamburg,Augusta, Spartanburg, Pacolet, Lockhardt Junction, Union7 Hock Hill, Chester, Cayce, Blackville, Barnwell, Allendale and Hardeeville. "Switching and other engines and trains may work in yard limits without regard to second class and inferior trains but must give way immediately upon their approach. Second-class and inferior trains must approach and run through yard limits under full control, expecting to find the main track occupied. "In case of accident responsibility rests with approaching train." And so far as the case has developed to date this is the way the situation presents itself to the railroad commission, though of course a strong effort will naturally be made to place the blame higher up for the sake of the effect it will have in the damage suits. Cruelty to Animals. Charged with cruelty to animals, C. J. Younger was tried ^before Magistrate Kirby in Spartanburg Thursday morning. The case was brought by "W. H. Keller, who alleged that Younger seized a valuable bull terrier belonging to^the deponent and cut off the ears and tail of the dog, and also allowed him to engage in a il^ii I Willi UV^? AMV vvrwv ., heard before a jury. The defense set up the plea that the defendant purchased the dog from a negro boy, unknown to the defendant; that the dog engaged in a fight with another dog and was so badly cut up about the head and tail that it became necessary to cut off the ears and tail of the dog. The defendant claimed that it was an act of mercy to cut off the ears and tail of the dog in question and not a cruel one. The jury after hearing the case, returned a verdict of not guilty" "I was reading in the paper a short time ago," said Mrs. Enpeck, "about a Soor man who was arrested on his weding day and sent to the penitentiary for life, wasn't that awful?" "Urn?yes," answered Mr. Enpeck, meekly, "it was awfully lucky for him." Horses! 1 Come Where Where the PI ANK B A MAN S BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER. ' 'L. U If#I^ Dig tssec murru uie Alter me maimvi v. ...... Bookard ??A Mysterious Case in Laurens. Laurens, May 12.?The dead body of a man was found in the Euoree river about two miles below Enoree Manufacturing I company Wednesday evening by some parties seining in the river. The body appeared to be weighted and was only slightly exposed. It was not disturbed, but the coroner was notified and went to the scene. It is not positively known yet whether the body is white or colored. One week ago Essec Murril, a negro man about 40 years of age, in the employ j of the Enoree Manufacturing company as a farm hand, disappeared. No one seemed to attach any consequence to his absence but some of the negroes in speaking of the matter said that they believed he had been killed and thrown in the river. No importance was attached to the speech until this body was found. It is the opinion among some of the citizens of that neighborhood that the body is that of Murril, and it is the prevailing opinion that he was killed by j some of his own race, but the intimation f j is very strong that some white man is re! sponsible for it. It is said that the negro was a worthless i sort of a character, but that is not sug! gested as the cause of his death. FIVE DAYS IN CAR. Six Negroes Were Without Water. Ate Only Cabbage. Philadelphia, May 15.?With nothing to eat but raw cabbage, and without i a drop of water for five days, six colored ;men from Charleston, W. Va., were rescued from a freight car in the Pennsyl! vania railroad yards, at thirty-second and : Market streets, late last night. One of the party told their story. i "We were all working on the railroad," the man said, "loading the cars. When ; we finished our day's work we were so | tired that we lay down in the car where ; the cabbages were. I do not know how long we slept, but when we awoke we found the car locked and we were moving. We kicked and banged on the car door, but could get no answer. Every ! time the train stopped we tried to attract ! the attention of persons outside by knockj ing on the car door, but we had no luck {till we got here. We were all about ready i to give up when the police opened the door." STRICTLY GENUINE. Most of the patent medicine testimonials are probably genuine. The following notice recently appeared in the Atchison : (Kan.) Globe: "Joe Tack, a well known | engineer, running on the Missouri Pacific ! between Wichita and Kiowa, lately ap| peared in a bi? one, with a picture, and i when he was in this office today, we asked j him about it. He says he had terrific pains 1 in his stomach, and thought he had cancer. His druggist recommended Kodol and he says it cured him. He recommended to others, who were also cured."Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and cures all stomach troubles. Just as sure as the sun shines your stomach can be brought back to its originally pure condition and life sweetened by this lasting and trulv the greatest digestant known. | Sold by H. F. Hoover. A. woman died the other day in New York who had never, during her whole life, spoken ill of anyone. She was born dumb. "Don't you think the custom of throwing rice at a newly married couple is idiotic?" asked the fluffy haired maid. "Sure," answered the savage old bachelor. "Mush would be a great deal more appropriate." Bishop Coleman, of Delaware, the Episcopal dignitary who every summer makes a two or three week's tour over the country, tramping incognito, is a man of tremendous appetite, and is proud of it. But a story is related of a Kent county housewife who got the best of him. She was the learned prelate's hostess on one of his tramping tours and, knowing very, well who he was, set before him a dinner fit for a man of great labors. The bishop appreciated her cooking highly and told her so, but he 'was unprepared for her rejoinder: "Bless ye, bishop, eat your fill, for I loves to see ve eat; eat tiil ye bu'st; I wish you would r Maude?That long-faced Mr. Blank is either a philosopher or a fool and I couldn't make out which.

"Death was fast approaching," writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla., describing his race with death, "as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and all interest in life. I had tried many different doctors and several medicines, but got no benefit, until I began to use Electric Bitters. So wonderful was their effect, that in three days I fflt like a new man, and today I am cured of all my troubles." Price 50c.

Every year there is awarded by the Notre Dame university at South Bend, Ind., the La eta re medal for moral excellence and distinguished services to humanity. This year for the first time it goes to a merchant, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. In the twenty years since it was created the honor has been conferred on six authors and editors, on one theatrical manager (Augustin Daly) and on physicians, philanthropists, orators, jurists and others. The Catholic merchant to win the medal by his benevolence is Thomas B. Fitzpatrick of Boston, senior member of a firm of merchants.

The first Osier club In the world was recently organized at Atlantic City, N. J., with twenty charter members, says the New York World. All are prosperous, active In business and vigorous in health. The president of the club, Benjamin Bacbarach, vows that each member is solemnly bound to retire from active business when the majority of his fellows declares he should be "Oslered." Only men between forty and forty-five years of age are eligible to membership. "If the majority so orders, will you chloroform a member when he reaches the age of sixty?" Mr. Bacharach was asked. "Wel-K" he hesitated, "that question cannot present itself for fifteen rears at least, and we have not con sidered It officially." Mr. Bacharach, a leading merchant was forty years old the other day. Other members are Lewis Hoppes, real estate dealer, rice president; Dr. A. D. Cnskaden, secretary; William Burkhardt owner of big tracts of ocean front; Warren Commers, president of the board of trade; C. C. Shinn, owner of the Hotel Raleigh; Robert L. Warke and William Faunee. Not one is more than forty-one years old, so even the possibility of being chloroformed is somewhat remote. The club's bylaws have not been made public; but it appears, members must live in Atlantic City all the year round. A Philadelphian who was carrying his grip to the railroad station the other day remarked somewhat sadly; "There is no need to elect visitors of any, age to the club. All visitors are chloroformed figuratively, so as to make painless the presentation of their bill and the separation from their money." j "The formation of the Atlantic City Osier club must not be taken as a joke," said Mr. Bacharach. "We believe in the wisdom of Dr. Osier's theories. We firmly believe men should retire, certainly from business, when they reach the limit o? their usefulness. The commercial and professional worlds are encumbered by those who should make way for younger, more active, more useiuj uicu. "We will do our best to bring this about" GRATITUDE OF LOEB. How President4* Secretary Rewarded Finder of His Watch. A pleasant story" Is connected with the recent appointment of Mrs. Michael Landman to a $750 clerkship, says a Washington special to the New York Times. A few days before he left Washington with the president for the trip to the southwest Secretary Loeb lost his gold watch. He advertised it in the papers, and in a few days Mrs. i Lauxman, who had found it, took it to the executive offices. Mr. Loeb was glad to get his time-1 piece back and asked Mrs. Lauxman what reward would be acceptable to her. Mrs. Lauxman hesitated a moment and then said she would prefer to ask of him the favor of helping her to get permanent employment In the i government service if he could do so consistently. She went on to say that her husband, who died recently, had been a clerk in the coast survey and that she was an educated woman, but had been forced to seA whatever work she could find to do. The other day she received notice of her appointment to a place in the coast and geodetic survey. Lady Carton's Popularity. The unique popularity enjoyed in India by Lady Curzon, who had a narrow escape from death during the recent earthquake, is attested by the enthusiastic reception accorded her by all classes on her arrival in that country after her late dangerous illness, says the London Chronicle. The native of India, as a rule, takes litte Interest in his white masters, and the European adds to the indifference of the east the stiffness of the official. No viceroy but the departing Lord Ripon has met with popular acclamations. But Lady Curzon has so won all hearts, both European and native, that she received an ovation both in Bombay and Calcutta. The Calcutta papers say that it was such a recepticn as no one who has entered the citj of Calcutta has ever before received. H. M. GRAHAM, A TTfiR WP V- A T_T. A W A JI A V1U1 JU A AAA - AAAA * ?
