the coroner's physician of Brooklyn1
suggests that the prevention of such
accidents deserve more consideration
from the medical profession here. He
gives as the record for sixteen days

NEAR CITY OF FLORENCE
In Crossing- Black Crock Touring Car
Swerves and Whole Thing Goes
Overboard.?Coroner Holds Inquest
iNows dispatches scut out from Flor
eneo last Sunday give the details of a
horrih.le accident on last Saturday
night near the city of Florence, when
a party of young men went joy riding.
The dispatch reads as follows, dated
on Sunday:
As a result of a joy ride in an automobile
last night, Robert S. Harrison,
a young merchant; A. D. Taylor, and
John F. Richter, Jr., employees of the
Florence Gas Company, arc dead, and
J. W. Wilson, the manager of the gas
plant, is very seriously injured. The
automobile in which the four men
were riding went into the middle of
Black Creek stream, at what is known
as Muses Bridge, four miles north of
this city, shortly after 1) o'clock. The
t! r dead men were drowned and Wil
.on, the fourth, only saved himself by
1 miracle.
From what can be learned and from
the testimony given to the coroner today,
it seems that Taylor left home
about 0 o'ciccl: to go to a garage to

A Tier leaving' the house he picked
up the three other men and went out
for a joy ride. Having made a trip
around what is knov n as the "loop''
they I'eturned and one of them left the
ear and Wilson joined the party. They
drove out across High Mill Creek in
the direction of Clack Swamp, and as
they were passing over the high
bridge at Clack Creek, going at good
speed, tlie car suddenly swerved to the
right iiito the guard rail on the bridge
and over the middle of the stream,
turning completely over.
Wilson*Swam Out.
Wilson, not knowing where he was,
but finding himself under the water,
managed to get free and drive from
the side of the car. The stream, being
one of the swiftest in the County,
swept him some 200 yards down the
current, and after considerable effort
in the darkness, managed to reach the
bank, where he pulled himself out of
the water. Not knowing where lie was
but hearing dogs bark, and afterward
hallowing of hunters in the woods began
hallowing himself.
He finally managed to reach the
road, and after some time assistance
:ame to him. He was nearly frozen,
mid was carried to a nearby house,
and resuscitated from his condition.
!t was then that he told of what had
happened, but as it was dark no effort
was made to locate his three com
panons other than to call for them.
Wilson was sent to the city by friends
about 3 o'clock this morning. Then it
was that the news spread like wildfire
Search for Bodies.
It was only a short time before the
Black Crock road was literally lined
with automobiles, vehicles and pedestrians,
going to tlio scene to do what
they Could to learn the true state of
affairs, a'nd to assist in the search for
the bodies. The car, which had
plunged headforemost into the stream
could not he seen, but upon dragging,
was found about ten feet away from
the bridge, lying* right side up in
about fifteen feet of water. The
tream was searched and about 300
yards below the br! lg*o the dead body
of Harrison was found, standing
straight up against a cypress tree,
with a part of the head out of the water,
his back directly against the tree
where, it is thought, that ho tried to
save himself, hut was finally drowned.
Other Bodies Pound.
Tim search was continued and about
1 o'clock the body of Taylor was found
on the bottom of the* stream about
midway between the bridge and where
Harrison was found, lying flat on the
bottom of the creek in fourteeen feet
of water. The search was continued
until shortly before ? o'clock this afternoon,
when Richter's body was
found between tho tree where Harrison's
body was found and the north
bank of the creek, lying in fifteen feet
of water. Richter's body was within
three feet of Harrison and it was suggested
that the two men must have
died in each other's embrace, or were
I separated only when the death strugtook
place. They were riding in the
hack seat and Taylor and Wilson in
the front seat when the accident occurred.
There were no scars to
amount to anything on either body
j and the attending physician stated
i that their de^tn was from drowning.
Caused Much Incitement.
It was doubtful if any occurrence
has ever created so much excitement
in the city than this sad affair today.

GREAT SLAUGHTER
IN CHALONS FIGHT
German Soldier Says it Was Bloodiest
Hat tic of the War Thus Far.
The Aftenblatt, of Stockholm, publishes
a letter from a German officer
to a friend in Sweden giving- the following
impressions of an engagement
near Chalons during the battle of tho
Mar no.
"In the neighborhood of Chalons 1
took part in the most terrible battle
that 1 have ever seen; 1 was, however,
at Liege, at Narnur and at Longwy.
Since it was impossible for our art.il
lcry to silence the French batteries,
we decided to charge, thinking the
French and English would fly before
the German bayonet; the experience
proved that our ideas on that subject
wore entirely erroneous.
"Two of our regiments were ordereel
to take the allies' position by storm
The French, however, Were ready to
receive us and there ensued such a
butchery as never was seen in this or
any other war. A detachment of
French concealed among the trees'
threw themselves on us. They were
mostly turcos and zouaves, strong dev
ils against whom it was impossible to
fight. A zouave, with a gun, bayonet
fixed, is the most infernal thing* that i
can be described.
"Savage cries of pain and of anger!
resounded through the wood. A great
many men fell there and saturated the
ground with blood. Soon the French
artillery came into action and its projectiles
completed the work of the bay;
onet. Our men beat a retreat at full
speed across the wood now in flames, j
Those who escaped the bayonet fell
under the rain of bullets and lay burn j
ing in the thickets. Only GO men of
my regiment returned. Of the other j
only 11 came back, and of the 71 sur-1
vivors, all were more or less grievous
ly wounded.
"I followed the campaign in Manchuria,
but ? think in the course of
the live first days of the battle of the i
Marne, more victims foil than wore
counted in the battle of Mukden and,
of Lino-Yang."
Another evidence of the murderous;
character of the fighting in,this battle
is furnished by a French soldier's i
letter published by the Dopeche Dei
Toulouse. "Wc have been fighting I
for three weeks to the cast of Verdun j
in the region of the Tournon Geni-!
court and Faint Medici forests," he
wrote. "We advance, but slowly because
the * boches' (Germans) are
strongly entrenched. For ten days wc
occupied trenches only 400 yards from,
theirs, and they did all that was humanly
possible to break through. They!
charged as many as ten times a day!
and at nighl they tried to approach bv
creeping along the ground. Cut all
their assaults were repelled with
great slaughter; .'1,000 German bodies:
were left in front of our trenches.
"After every repulse each of ouvj
men grabbed two or three mausers
with ammunition from the bodies of!
the dead and stood them alongside in
the trenches, and when the enemy
came back he was received by fire
from his own weapons.
"To guard against surprise at night i
we took all the empty beef cans, tied J
them to a cord and piled them so that j
when the Germans came creeping to*
ward our lines and the cord was touch
e l, they made enough noise to give an
alarm. One night when the cans rat-j
Fed, we replied with immediate volleys
and there was no more disturbance
that night. In the morning we
counted five hundred dead Germans
lying on the ground within a hundred
irds of the trenches."
Mother and Children Burned.
Mrs. Marcila i'etro and her two chil
<lron, girls, of Pittsburgh, l'a., were
burned to death when their home in

1'riday. The mother lost her life in
attempting to rescue her children.
scene visited the place. Harrison contacted
a mercantile business In North
Pargan street and was married some
years ago to Miss Whitton. He leaves
no children, but a wife, sisters, brothers
and an aged mother. He was
about 35 years old.
Taylor was married last April to
Miss Georgia Buchhcit of this city, he
has no relatives here, do came here
from near Ashcville, N. C., and had
been with the gas company for about
two years. He was about 30 years of

recently from Henderson, N. C., and
was unmarried. The three bodies
were brought to the city this after
noon and carried to Waters undertaking*
establishment and are being
prepared for burial, but funeral arrangements
have not been completed
as yet. 0
The affair, while it created no
small amount of excitement has cast
j a gloom over the city throughout the
day. The automobile was gotten out
about 2 o'clock by means of grabhooks,
block and tackle, and considerable
force. It was not badly damaged
other than the top being smasher

The five battleships at Vera Cruz and
Tampieo and the string of vessels on
1 the west coast will remain in Mexican
waters to afford protection to Americans
and be in readiness to meet
emergencies. T.t was just seven
months ago when the bluejackets and
marines under Rear Admiral Fletcher;
seized Vera Cruz as an act of reprisal j
for affronts to the American flag at
Tampieo, where a boatload of American
bluejackets were arrested. Gen.
Huorta, who controlled the forces at
Tampieo, had refused to comply with
the demand of A.dmiral Mayo for a

Gen. I'Tmston has no orders

Admisistration officials do not regard
the tangled state of affairs in

jt WARNIN8JT0 MANY
SOI INTifEotiMS FACTS
ABOUT KIDNEY TROUBLES.
Kew people realise to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all eases of
serious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patient's urine. He knows
that unless the kidneys are doing- their
work properly, the other organs cannot
readily be brought back to health
and strength.
When the kidneys arc neglected
or abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics, Height's disease,
which is really an advanced form of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in 191*1, in the State
of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves
us to pay more attention to
the health of these most important
organs.

had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is 1)}-. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
