Back for a running start, on at the bank with a full head of steam, a sudden burst in the rear of exhausts, a shower of sparks from two long lines of screeching drive-wheels, a few car lengths of snow forced aside then with a jerk they would reverse tor another charge. It was catch-ascatch can for food and sleep, and back and forth, day and night, sixteen engines and thirty-two men ramming the snow blockade. \ I.was there, not as an engineer or fireman, only a lineman with instructions to snow-shoe on ahead and inspect the telegraph wires. All day long ' is I worked up the canon, I could hear the snow-fighters?the signals for re- 1 rersing, multitudinous puffing of en- 1 gines in sullen retreat,- the down l>rakes whistle, the go-ahead whistle, * t prolonged chorus of barking puffs merging into one long purring roar, \ ioubling in volume t oa violent burst, lien quickly dying to nothing. ' Darkness and a blinding storm overook me as I returned, and the glow { f the headlights rising from the long 1 rench of snow gave a welcome promse of food and shelter. The locomo- 1 Ives had been halted for some time. 1 rhey were six car lengths round a j 1 iurve from the end of the line. ' I 1 bought they were' at the face erf the 1 lockade, and blundered headlong into 5 he fourteen-foot cut. ! Snow-shoes are awkward things to * ill with. The snow packed between * he rails was as solid as a pavement, < nd the shock knocked me half-con- 1 ;ious. I heard the go-ahead signal 3 nd the puffing and clanking of locojj| motives, and wondered without alarm 1 r:; If my neck was broken. The engines '< ?|, t pulled up a bit} then reversed. From t ithe way they jiggled back and forth I thought they must be jerking a derailed comrade into line. I sat up, rubbed my neck, and then lor the first time became aware of danger. 1 I jumped to my feet, and started for J the snow-plow. Two long blasts of the whistle signaled "go-ahead." At t the same moment I tripped on a broken < sno wshoe, and fell head-long. j 1 Scrambling up, I plunged at the i ; white bank. The sncw tossed me back t and I realized that the walls had been t pressed aside and packed by the power < -, of sixteen engines. The signal for j 1 r; down brakes sounded, and saved me < f from being frightened to madness. i Then I tried to rid myself of the 1 ? broken snow-shoe, but I could not un- i fhsten it with my numbed fingers. I ; found my voice, and yelled like a wild t Indian; but the men were busy and < Tound a curve, and no one heard me. ] I finally got my knife open, slashed t off both snow-shoes, and started on a < run down the track. I rounded a curve ] into the blinding glare of a headlight j when the whistle scmnded the reverse, and choc-chy-chy! choo-chy-chy! clang- t " ' S J ~ -1 \ 4 ity-bang: tne sixteen engines reteueu ( i down the cut. I yelled and waved my j < arms, but the lookout on the snow j i plow neither saw nor heard me. ! < I had matches and thought of build- j < ing a signal fire of my snow shoes, but | 1 could find no kindling. I gave up all | i hope, and was sure I must die. I j 1 thought of climbing out at the wedge- i i shaped face of the blockade, and turn- j < ing, raced up the track through the ! 1 darkness, only to discover that the ! mold of the long-nosed, broad-based i < snow-plow was more like a trap than ; 1 a place of ascending. ! < From afar down the dark trench one i ] long blast of the whistle signaled down j j blakes. For moments that seemed like ; hours I stood thinking. The go-ahead signal sounded, the sharp coughing of ; < sixteen engines merged into an angry, j j deafening purr; and still I stood? j i thinking, yet without a thought. j < Of a sudden it became clear that I | i must burrow or die. But wfth what ; ] was I to burrow? With a quick thrill j ] of hope I reached for my climbers, bat 1 i 1 y I ' . > ' ' did not find them. Supposing that they had become detached from my belt by the fall, I fumbled along the edge of the cut, but found nothing. Pr-r?r-r-r?pr-r?r-r-r! roared the sixteen engines. The rails were snapping and singing. I snatched a heavy pair of pincers from the other side of my belt. At the same moment I discovered that I still carried my open knife; and with a j weapon in each hand, I began a tunnel. A few seconds later common sense told me to make instead a niche the length and breadth of my body. A half-dozen strokes shctwed me that work with the pincers was wasted effort, and I threw them aside. Then I settled down to slashing the packed snow with my heavy knife-blade. I was over my flurry now. Without ' * * ** - - x ^ Vv*? A orrlxr 1 me loss 01 a quarier-secuuu u? ? i0.u, , stroke or one too hurried I worked at my niche. From top to bottom and return, from top to bottom and return. Pr-r?r-r-r? pr-r?r-r-r! roared the engines; louder and louder sung the rails. Every sweep of my arm peeled off a six-foot strip of snow two inches wide and knife-blade deep. Slash, slash, slash I went, determined, if die I must, to die digging. The blinding headlight swung round the curve, the cut filled and quivered with a fresh burst of clamor. Then the head engine whistled down brakes, and tooted the danger signal. There was the thud and the jar of sixteen engines reversed, and I felt cheered somewhat and less lonely. I spared one glance from my task, made ten more slashes, flattened myself against the face of my niche, dug my fingers and toes into the corners, braced my elbows and knees, and waited for the plow flange to scrape off my back?one second. Then the great blade shot by and shut out the light, a set cf resisting drive-wheels screeched past, the locomotives jarred from a bunt against the snow, anotner i set of drive-wheels ground by, the ! next approached more slowly, and halted with a terrific jar as the locomotives stopped and stood panting. When they backed up I stepped out unharmed, less scared at the time than the brakeman who had sighted me from the snow-plow outlook.? Youth's Companion. CITY IN PAWN 100 YEARS. Sweden, Failing to Redeecn Wismar, It Becomes a German Town. Wismar, a port of IS,000 people on the Baltic, situated in the German duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, but belonging legally to Sweden, has recently become a German city, says the Chicago Chronicle. It was pledged to King Gustavus IV. for a loan of $1,000,000, and the king of Sweden hav- 1 ing failed to redeem it witnin the century it has passed to the Duke of > Mecklenburg-Schferin, from whose ancestors the money was borrowed. In the early part of the eighteenth century the most powerful enemy of Sweden, after the destruction of the Hanseatic league, a kind of trade union established by certain German cities for safety- and commercial purposes, captured. Wismar and razed the fortifications. Afterward peace' tvas declared and the city reverted to Sweden, but with the provision that she should not rebuild the fortifications. The place thus lost its strength md importance and became instead an clement of weakness to the Swedes, [ts great sea trade was ruined and its nland' trade lost. Under these circumstances it was aot surprising that the Swedes tired it last of their white elephont. So in :he reign of the incompetent and ex:ravagant Gustavus IV., with the territory lost to the French in one war, .vith Finland lost to Russia, with de'eat in a war against Norway, the Swedes seized an opportunity to reieve themselves of the burden of possession. The direct opportunity was given by ;he cancellation by Gustavus of his engagement to the daughter of Duke 1 Frederick Francis I. That person not innaturally resented the insult ' and ;hreatened dire things. Finally x his ihreats crystalized into a demand for . in enormous indemnity. The money lad to be raised at once. The duchy >f Mecklenburg advanced 1,258,000 ichsthaler and took Wismar, Neukoster and the Island of Poel as secur- ' ty. Under the conditions of the loan, he city of Wismar and' the two government districts were to remain in pledges for 100 years. At the end of hat time Sweden might claim and ( >btain the pledged city and land by ' paying back the original loan, with 3 percent compound interest. A further provision, however, of :he loan was that should Sweden fail :o take any notice whatever of the expiration of the time, the contract tvould thereby be renewed for another 100 years. The sum which Sweden would- have to pay if she wanted :o claim Wismar and-the two govern- ! nent districts is figured as amounting :o $27,000,000, and this alone, quite apart from considerations of policy, operated, doubtless, as a bar against :he assertion of her rights. It will be seen that while the immediate business transaction dates back but about 100 years, any diplomatic squabbles over the city now would liave to revert to the surrenders and armistices of the Thirty-,Years' war? C1S-48. And the fact that heretofore Wismar has been Swedish territory t!X]?lains why Germany has not fortified the port, which is considered the finest harbor site of the entire Baltic coast. Under the Swedish-Danish treaty fortifications were not to be built, and when the Duchy of Mecklenburg took over the place the stipulation was renewed. : Palmetto State News! i * I WVWWWW9WWWWW I Finger Scratch on Nose Fatal. As the result of blood poison in his nose, developed from a scratch of his little finger, W. G. Haughton, a well known insurance agent and broker, died a few days ago in Spartanburg. The deceased was one of the best known men in the city. 9 * Board Bill Leads to Killing. B. F. Fortner, a farmer who lives' near p#?i'/*r was shot and killed by Neil Banks, his brother-in-law. The trouble arose over a board bill due Fortner by Banks. Feeling runs high against Banks, the killing being unprovoked. The slayer made his escape. -V * No Boo^s For Vets. The Richland Memorial Association has adopted a resolution which condemns the giving of beer or any other intoxicant to the veterans of the reunion to be held in Columbia, and recommends instead the plentiful supply of coffee and soft drinks. The most influential women in the community are members of the association and resolution will likely be respected. * * President Fires Opening Gun. The fifth triennial fest of the National Scheutzenbund, of America, was opened in Charleston Monday by President Roosevelt, who, at the white house at Washington, pressed the telegraph key that fired the rifle placed in electric communication. Several thousand riflemen from all over the "United States were present, and prizes to the value of $35,000 will be contested for. ? * * Anderson Ready for Pythiani. The twenty-first annual convention of the Grand Lodge 6f Knights of Pythias, which convenes fn Anderson on the 28th of this month promises to be the most largely attended of any convention ever held in the state. The committee on entertainment has been industriously at work for the past few days and have gotten the situation well in hand and are now prepared to handle the large crowd of visitors in a manner highly creditable to the hospitality cf the city. * * Routed Assailant With Ax. William McDuffie, a North Carolina negro, has been lodged in the Marion county jail, charged with having broken into the home of T. W. Sellers, agent at# Zion railroad' station, and attempting to criminally assault Mrs. Charles Sellers, who was spending the night there. There was no one else in the house at the time except Mr. Sellers' little daughter. Mrs. Sellers managed to get hold of an ax, after having been severely choked, but the negro made his escape unhurt. McDuffie was carried before Mrs. Sellers, who identified him. There was no attempt at lynching. * * I Long Staple Exchange Planned. The Jong staple cotton planters of the sea islands near Charlestoo have taken another step to perfect their organization by providing for a cotton exchange at Charleston. The long staple cotton crop of the sea islands this year is some two or three weeks behind, and the planters say that even wiCh perfect weather conditions for the rest of the season they cannot make a full crop. It- is figured now that about 11,000 bags will be picked. The West Indian planting seems to have failed, and the Georgia and Florida planters must get their seed from tl*s Charleston sea islands. * * * Coffin at Pastor's Door. When Rev. E. M. Lightfoot, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Orangeburg, opened his front door one morning a few days ago a coffin with this inscription met his eyes: "This will be your box on June 10, 1907, so goodby to E. M. Lightfoot. P. S.? Peace to your ashes. Ann." Mr. Lightfoot came to South Carolina from Pennsylvania about seven years ago. Hjs firm stand for law and order and denunciation of crime has gained for him enemies among a certain class, and it is believed that the coffin incident is the result. * a * Another Murder Shocks Columbia. Another mysterious homicide in a Columbia suburb, shocked that city one morning the past week, when R. T. Westcott, a butcher, was found dead with a bullet through his brain, soon after he left home for his butcher shop about 4:30 o'clock a. m. The scene of this homicide is in the suburb which adjoins the suburb of Shandon, where Charles B. Greene, a grocer, was held up and killed and his supposed assailant, Edgar Marshall, was also shot to death several weeks ago. Westcott leaves a wife and several children. * Shelton Swings at Last. After escaping the gallows for more than one year for the murder 01 Alf Briggs, his father-in-law, John Shelton, colored, was hanged in the Spartanburg jail, the execution being carried out without hitch or accident. Shelton stepped on the trap door with steady step and while his hands and feet were being bound there was not the quiver of a muscle. He was asked if he had anything to say and replied he had not. The drop of several feet broke the neck of Shelton. The execution was witness ed only by officers and newspaper men. t c * * Whiskey Dumped Into Sewer. Sheriff Gilreath had his second public "emptying" at Greenville a few days ago under the Carey-Cothran liquor law. Fifty gallons of "fire water," ranging all the .way from rye | to corn juice with the moonlight woven In, found Its way into the court house sewer. This represents a month's work of the sheriff's constables. Many citizens are of the opinion that this whiskey ought to be sold to the county dispensaries to help defray the expense of the constabulary, but nothing can be done in the matter till the next session of the legislature. The constables captured 164 gallons of corn whiskey from a negro grocer, named Goldsmith. The blind, tigers hide liquor in all conceivable places. One negro woman recently had a rubber mattress on her bed filled with many gallons of booze. STATUS OF CUBAN AFFAIRS Reported Fairly Satisfactory by Taft, Who Has Just Returned. Secretary Taft and party arrived at the Washington navy yard on board the Mayflower Monday night after an absence of exactly a month on a trip that included Panama, Cuoa and Porto Rico. The secretary and Mrs. Taft.were immediately driven to their residence. Former Governor of Porto Rico Beekman Winthrop and Mrs. Winthrop were guests of the secretary on the return trip. The others in the party included Representative' Burton, of Ohio; Kittredge, of South Dakota, and Miss Margaret Ifle. The party arrived shortly after 11 o'clock. Later Secretary Taft gave out a statement in which he says he found matters in Cuba "in what, under the .circumstances, must be considered a very satisfactory condition;" that there is every ground for hope that the plan adopted for a census, preliminary election and then again an election six months later, will result in the selection of a president ana congress who will be able to maintain themselves and give a stable rule to the island; and that the delay in taking a census is known by Cubans as an earnest of the American government to secure a stable government before it leaves, "so there will be no. excuse for a second intervention." He stated that in Panama the engineers reported to him that the foundations for the locks were entirely satisfactory. MEXICO GROSSLY INSULTED. \ her Legation < at Guatemala City Searched for Criminals. The Mexican legation at Guatemala City was searched Wednesday by Guatemalan authorities, to ascertain whether or not there were sheltered in it Guatemlans who were suspected of complicity in the attempted assassination ' cf President Estrada Cabrera, which took place in Guatemala City Monday morning, while the chief executive was out riding, accompanied by his staff. , The search was made on the invitation of Mexican Minister Gamboa as soon as he learned of the suspicion ican legation was suspected of being of Guatemala. The fact that the Mexican legation was suspected of being an asylum for criminals, has caused great indignation and excitement. It has been learned from a reliable source that the Mexican government is preparing for an emergency. Rumor has it that 30,000 men are being fully equipped for a two months' campaign, and that troops are being rap idly moved in small numbers to the l Guatemalan frontier. NEW RAILWAY CHARTERED. I Savannah and Southwestern is Name and Capital is Seven Millions. The Savannah and Sou'Ji western railroad company was granted a charter Thursday by the secretary of state of Georgia.. This company proposes to build a line 350 miles long, start,ng with Savannah, which will be its principal m:ce, and running thro-sh the counties of Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, Tattnall, Appling, Jeff Davis, Coffee, Berrien, Colquitt, Thomas, Grady and Decatur in Georgia and Lecn, Gadsden, Liberty, Franklin, Calhoun and \Vashington in Florida to a point on the gulf of Mexico. .v. i V-; *>! lTchton butchery" Mystery of Wholesale Murder in Florida Cleared. TWO MEN UNDER ARREST Prisoners Are Charged With Murder of Ackerman Family of Nine' People in Florida About a Year Ago. Although a year has elapsed since the Ackerman family, composed of husband and wife and seven children, was murdered and then burned in Santa Rosa county, Fla., near Pensacola, detectives have just procured information which on .last Monday caused the arrest of two white men, Joe Stanley and William C. Smith, who are charged with having com* ' mitted the crime. Stanley was arrested in Geneva. Ala., while Smith was found at Gonzales, Fla., and earned to Milton, the county site of Santa Rosa county. When it was discovered that the house in which the Ackerman family resided had been burned, an investigation ensued, and, while it was j at first thought that the entire family had become suffocated and, thus unable to leave the building, it was ! later discovered that several of the older members, particularly the father. wife and older son, had been struck on the head, the skulls being crushed. It was also found that the father had arisen from the bed and . had evidently seized his > shotgun to li. _ii.. ligui. iur cue lives ui nib iaiuii^, an the gun was found lying near his cnarred body, with one hand resting upon it. The jury could not fix the crime upon any one, and shortly afterwards both Stanley andv Smith left that county. Rewards amounting to near* iv twenty-five hundred dollars were offered, and detectives were induced to work up the case, and,* while it required a year to do so, they now claim that they have strong informs* tion against the two men.

Swath Cut Through Northern Section of State Resulting in Death and Great Property Damage. A storm of wind and rain which was general throughout a considerar ble area in northern Texas Monday; and which, at some places, assumed the proportion of a. tornado, according to meager reports received in Port Worth Monday night, has resulted in the loss of at least three \ lives, the injury of many other, persons and great damage to property and crops. Several villages were wiped out, hut because of the prostrating r\f Knth tolpnhriTiP ?Twt tplpcrttnh wires details were almost impossible to obtain. At Deport, one of the largest villages in Lamar county, 20 miles from Paris, the storm passed northeast, cutting a path about 100 yards wide. . ; The business part of the town was v not touched, the damage being in the ; residence portion on the east side. The Baptist parsonage was blown ?e pieces, its timbers and the furniture scattered over the ground. R. H. Bry- , : son's residence was demolished and several other residences damaged. As far as can be ascertained no one was hurt at this plaoe. Crops are badly, damaged and many fences andb arna were blown away, A terrific wind passed over Sulphur Springs about 2 o'clock, travel- . \ ing from the southwest to the north-. W'J east While it was of. great veloeity the damage in Sulphur Springs v: was trivial. But west of Sulphur v % Springs the wind assumed the proportions of a tornado, carrying death apd ; great property damage in its wake..A passenger train on the .

As soon AA as the storm passed, the train pro- A* ceeded and no one was hurt ''S At the village of Antioch or Plea*. ant Grove, as it is also called, the 3 whole village was practically, d* stroyed. Antioch is about seven miles north of Sulphur Springs. This is the tornado belt and most of tie homes are provided with storm eelTo this fact is due the escape or a number of those who were caughV;^3 in the pdth of the storm. . . ^ SERIOUS OUTBREAKS IN INDIA. I Anti-European and Anti-American Sentiment Increases. The Hindoo outbreak at Rawalpindi; British India, appears to have been anti-Christian, as well as anti-European. The mission buildings were the special object of the fury of the Vi rioters. An attack was made on ihe . American mission church, the mob " -J burned the Young Men's Christian As- ^ sociation hall, looted apd damaged, the houses of the missionaries and . ' violently assaulted native Christian in the streets. A riotous outbreak under the leadership of Hindoo students, has occurred at Amritzar, about thirty miles from Lahore. The schools and colleges of gal, which are affiliated with the University of Calcutta, have become such hot-beds of political agitation that the' government resolved to take drastic action. A circular has been sent to , 5S the university, college and school authorities, prohibiting the participation in political movements and nqtifyi^vSll the university that unless H carries ^ out its duty in controlling the ?ffiliated colleges all the government rJpj scholarship endowments will be with- ^ drawn.
