FIRST ENGINE TERRIFIES.
Venerable Californian Tells Experi
ences as Boy Near Charleston.
"And you really saw the first lc

Warren B. Ewer. ;
It was on the eve of Washington'
birthday, the place Mr. Ewer's hom

in America, says a writer in the Rail
road Man's Magazine.
"I actually did!" was the emphal
ic reply, "and though the event oc
curred over 70 years ago, the inci
dent is as vivid in my memory a
if it had been but a week ago. ]
is doubtful whether there is a ma
living to-day, other than myself, wh
saw it make one of its first runs.
"I was a New England lad, bu
woe no coin cr winter with m
n c*o wmv ? -
uncle in Augusta, Ga. There wer
no railroads in the South then, al
though I knew that one had bee
commenced which was to run froi
Charleston, S. C., to Augusta, a dis
tance of about 140 miles. I ha
never seen a railroad, of course.
"The leading men of the sectio
were much excited those days abou
horse racing, and the annual meel
ing was to be held in February, j
party of men from Augusta wer
going to these races on. horseback
and my uncle and I accompanie
them.
"There was an excellent breed c
saddle horses in Georgia at tha
time called the Cherokee pony, whie
was raised in the upper country
then occupied by the Cherokee Ie
dians. I owned one of these ponies
so I decided to ride him.
"Well, we started, n'"ne of u:
each with a change of clothes i
his saddle-bags. Our route wa
south, through the great pine foi
ests which lay between Augusta an
the coast. We made about 30 mile
a day, eating and sleeping in som
log cabin or "planter's house by th
roadside, for villages and tavern
were few and far between.
"On the fourth day, when we wer
nearing "Charleston, we saw in th
distance the new railroad, some 1
or 12 miles of which had been finish
ed. I was startled by a queer shriel
and presently the engine came i
sight, flying along and breathin
forth fire and smoke. No wonde
our horses became unmanageable! ]
for one, was as badly frightened a
my pony, with whom I rushed int
the forest.
"A mile or two further on w
came to a broken wagon, by the roac
side, and near it sat a half-daze
Georgia 'cracker.'
" 'What's up?' asked one of ou
party.
" 'Well, stranger, he drawled, 'all'
down, you see, wagon smashed ar
critter run out o' sight. I've ofte
hearn tell of nullification and now,
reckon, I've saw it for true.'
Mr. Ewer paused to laugh heartily
and youth still glowed in his eyes.
"I had no opportunity to see th
monster again," he continued, "bn
I well remember the construction c
that portion of the road. The rail!
were timber, laid upon uneven tie:
with a strip of iron nailed on top c
them, upon which the wheels were t
run. It was a great curiosity."
Will Introduce 2-Cent Bill.
Greenville, Dec. 13.?Carrying ou
his campaign promises, Senator-elec
Wilton H. Earle, of this county, ar
nounces that he will, immediately ai
ter the next session of the State lef
islature convenes, introduce a bill i
the senate providing for a flat rat
of two cents on all railroads in Sout
Carolina. Mr. Earle says that tb
bill will be a general one and wi
apply to all roads.
It is expected that a similar bi
will be introduced in the house c
representatives although it is n(
known by whom. Quito a number c
candidates for the legislature in otl
er counties expressed themselves ?
being in favor of a flat two- cent rat
and it is presumed that they will ei
deavor to carry out their promise
also.
Mr. Earle says that the oppositio
will probably claim that a two-cei
rate is confiscatory. He said tl
only way to determine whether <
not such is the case would be to pa*
the law and let the courts pass c
the question.
Mr. Earle says he is going to mat
a fight for the bill whether he su
ceeds in having it passed or not.

Miss Inez Millholland, the beaut

At a luncheon in Newport a ma;
flirt sneered at woman suffrage.
"Woman doesn't want a vote?si

"The way the average woman wo

^ There is the case of James F. Scott, to
e a gunner's mate on the U. S. S. Mont- I- 1
gomery, who, knowing of his danger, frc
^ obeyed orders and went to the bottom inj
of Narragansett bay in a diving suit, be
after a lost torpedo, which had slow- a
ly sunk after being fired from a sub- th<
k merged tube, and which might start th<
r' off at any moment. Down he went an

3' ing it stil dangerous went up and re- th<
Q ported conditions. He was again or- do
,s dered down to fasten a line to it, and sw
he went?but let him telh his own lai
d story. ga
"It was on August 24, 1900, and ^
we were firing torpedoes on the range ca
in Narragansett bay. I was working
in the forward torpedo room prepar- w?
ing an 18-inch Whitehead torpedo for t0
firing from the submerged tube. The
q torpedo was set to run 4,000 yards su
at 27 knots an hour. We made all a 1
1T1'
, the adjustments and placed the tor^
pedo in the tube ready for firing. sti
-1 Having prepared the torpedo for the m:
s ~ ~ _
T run, I was naturally interested in its pu
t performance, and went to the as
g forec'stle to watch it. The gunner re0
mained below to see that all went ^
right, as the torpedo was to be fired t01
e "from the bridge-firing apparatus. The
torpedo left the shipHvithout turning pa
d over its engines, but went about 56
in about 44 feet of water. Boats were
r called in from the range and buoys
were dropped over the spot where the ofi
s torpedo sank. The diving launch was ou
prepared and ordered away from the lai
n ship. I did practically all the diving m<
j on the Montgomery for lost torpe
does, so it was I who went out with st(
' 'the diving launch. We got $1.20 an
' nl i
hour extra pay for diving, you know. Ui'
e "So I went out in the boat and
cu
it donned the diving suit. Before the
?1T1
>f helmet was put on, I told them I ^
3, would find the torpedo first and look
go

\ V/ %

S0i
o I followed the buoy line. The water ^
was not very clear and I couldn't see .
mi
more than a few feet, but just before
I touched bottom the head of the
mi
it torpedo appeared right before my
mi
;t eyes, and I thought that it was ali
ready on its way up, but when my
f- feet touched bottom, I realized my
uo.
mistake. , ^
ii "Well, the executive officer from ar
e the ship had seen hubbies rising' to ag
h the surface from the escaping air of
e the torpedo and was in a terrible
CO
11 hurry to get after it. I knew that it sg
was dangerous to go after a torpedo
11 that had gone to the bottom the way ^
)f this one had. It might start off at .
)t anv minute, and besides it would
ca
)f probably float of its own accord by
l- the way the air was escaping from it.

that I could see what I was going to

was always hard walking down there. j

e- times it is accidentally left on and
that sinks the torpedo?and that .
Id
le the starting lever had been tripped go
and also that the leak around the . .

always have a leak there intentionally.
Noting these things I then

r- struck or the main valve had failed CI
y- to function. I knew that a little jar
's might set the engine going, but was
afraid to try this, for if those pro1
pellers got me ?! Hi
"After a moment of reflection I pa
refully stepped up to the torpedo
d put both my hands on its af^erdy
and lifted it bodily but easily
ove my head; this was quite easy,
the torpedo was rapidly gaining
oyancy, but it sank slowly back to
3 bottom. This was a very danrous
thing to do, knowing that the
rpedo was charged and that the
p valve was opened and no lock on
3 propellers, but I reasoned that
rhops with a little start it would
up. I now took the 501 pound
ugnt, wnicn was acting as autuui
the buoy line, and placed it at the
1 of the torpedo and signalled to
me up.
"I was hauled slowly to the sur3e,
and after my helmet was rowed
I stated conditions to the gunr
in the boat. I told him I thought
at the torpedo would soon float,
d this was megaphoned to the ship.
l the ship a little conference was
Id. Orders soon came to go down
ain and make the buoy line fast
the tail of the torpedo after rewing
the weight.
"Well, once more I donned the big
ass helmet and stepped off the ladr
into the waters of the bay. There
peared before me a great steely,
lite-looking devil which reminded
} of the cold whiteness of a shark,
was about as I left it, but I tarried
look it over carefully again. While
vas examining the torpedo, a boat
>m the Torpedo Station was com
* up the range at full speed. This
ing noticed from the Montgomery
signal was sent to her to go farer
off, but the torpedo boat not
oroughly comprehending the signal
d not seeing the diving launch?a*
was on the opposite side from them
kept coming on until she passed
e bow of the Montgomery when
sy noticed that there was a diver
wn. The torpedo boat immediately
ung around sharply away from the
inch and stopped her engine. This
ve motion to the water even on
e bottom and swayed the torpedo,
using it to bounce up and down on
e bottom. I felt the motion in the
iter and remained away from the
rpedo.
"What next happened occurred so
ddenly and quickly that I have not
clear recollection of it, except that
stinctively I knew the torpedo had
irted off full speed and threw out
f hands to save myself, that is, to
sh the torpedo away from my body,
its tail swung toward me. My
,nds encountered the afterbody and
e propellers chopped them up. The
rpe.do rapidly gained speed and shot
the surface with tremendous force,

down the course, diving in and
t of the water. The men in the
unch were so excited that for the
Dment they forgot themselves and
11 away from the pump, leaving it
)pped for a moment.
"As soon as I failed to hear the
3 familiar chug chug of the pump
thought that the air hose had been
t by the propellers of the torpedo
.d closed the relief valve to save
lat air I had in the suit, and was
ing to try to remove my shoes. The
iter was so muddy.that I could not
e whether the hose had fallen to
e bottom or not. As I was closg
the relief valve I noticed that my
,nds were mangled and I was soon
iich relieved to feel them hauling
3 to the surface. Going up I kicked
y legs to see if I could tell if they
ire also cut. It happened that I
me up under the wrong side of
e ladder and had to work myself
ound it with my elbows. As soon
I had got clear I held my hands
) so that the men in the launch
uld see that I could not help mylf.
"When the torpedo had shot out of

LIQUOR FIGHT IN SENATE.
Discussion of Sheppard-Kenyon Bill
Under Way.
Washington, Dec. 17.?Denunciation
of the "mail order liquor business"
as the enemy of State proMbi- '
tion characterized the opening to- 4
day of the fight in tiie senate for the
passage of the Sheppard-Kenyon bill,
to prohibit the shipment of liquor
across State lines into "dry" territory.
Galleries were thronged with men
and women identified with the National
Temeprance Movement when
the debate began "on the measure t 1
long pending before both branches
of congress."
Consideration of the bill was devoted
to addresses in its support of
senators Sanders, of Tennessee, and
McCumber, of North Dakota, both of
whom had introduced bills similar
to the measure pending. < 1
Legislative rules threw the bill
back to the regular calendar when
the short debate was interrupted by
the convening of the Archbald Court
of Impeachment. Members will demand
that it again be taken up, how
ever, and an effort probably will be
made soon to have it brought before
the Senate as the "unfinished business,"
insuring its daily consideration
until it finally is disposed of.
Interest in the constitutionality of ,
proposed law was manifest through
out the day's debate, and brought
numerous senators into the discussion.
Senator McCumber declared
efforts to give State governments
power to seize liquor shipments as
soon as they crossed the State lines
must fail, because the jjlPreme court
invariably had held such legislation
to be unconstitutional. The federal
government has entire right, he declared,
to prohibit the shipment of
liquor into prohibition States. The
measure pending, which passed the .
house as the Sheppard bill, would
prohibit the present mail order and
express order business in liquor in
States where local prohibition prevails.
T. U. Vaughn, the white man who
was sentenced to the electric chair,
the electrocution to take place December
20th, has appealed to the
State Supreme Court and the sentence
will not be put into effect, the
appeal serving as a stay of the execution.
Vaughn was convicted in
Greenville county of mistreating
young white girls under his care as
superintendent of an orphans' home.
