A FEARFUL WRECK.
THE WORST EVEIC KNOWN IN THE
3V Persons KIlled-nt-d by an Under
mined Culvert-Firo Follows Wreck.
(By Telegraph to G reenville News.)
Atlanta, June 25.- Tho worst
wreck ever known in the South oc
curred near McDonough, Saturday
night, twenty-eight miles from here.
The entire train crow and twenty
six passengers woro killed. Only
nme passengers wvre rescued, all of
whom were more or less seriously
injured.
The wreck occurred at Camp creek,
one and one-half mils north of Mc
Donough, and wias caused by the
undermining of th culvet at that
point and the caving of the embank
mont.
The crow consisted of J. T. Sulli
van, engineer; W. A. Barclay, con
ductor; H. R. Cressman, Pullman
conductor; W. W. Bonnett, baggage
master; J. J. Quitflan, flagman, and
W. H1. Green, Quinlan being the only
one to escape death.
Arriving at McDonough, the usual
stop was made, wl-on tlie train pulled
out for Atlanta.
The train was runnuing pretty fast
when it reached Camp creek, but the
culvert was so well construcled that
Engineer Sullivan -' ve no thought
to the possibility of a washout there,
and before he knew of his danger he
had plungod lifty foet int.> the rag
ing torrent below, f.k covkaes piling
up on top of the vq*ie int he gorge.
Fire followed the %.rek and those
who would otherwina hnvo escaped
with their livos periihed in the
flames. The sceno beggars decrip
tion. All that reniained of the tran
was a mass of ruins, the coaches be
ing completely demolished.
Flagman Qninlan. though badly
injured, escaped froin the wreckage
and carried the news of the disaster
to McDonough.
The northbotnd freight was hold
up and a rescuing party hurriedly
organized, but when they reached the
wreck they were unable to do any
thing, owing to the heavy rain, un
til daylight, when the banks of the
swollen stream were strewn with
dead bodies.
Of the forty people on the train
many of them were employees, who
- live in Atlanta and were returning
home to spend th4 Sunday with their
families.
Some of the bodies were badly
mangled, showing they had been
crushetd to death, while others were
partly burned. It is presumed that
several met death by drowning.
The occupants of the Pullman all
escaped death, but were all more or
less seriously injured.
The rescued tell harrowing tales
of the flames immediately following
the wreck as well as detailing many
deeds of heroism.

Friends.
It takes a great many new friends
to make one old friend. Friendship
is not like asparagus-a plant that
shoots up iii a nigjit and is then
ready for the knife. It is rather
like the hickory or the oak, of
gradual growth and solid fibre. As
it is the wood which has been "sea
soned" by long exposure to wind
and weather that emits the hottest
fire, so the friendships that have
been seasoned by many years of sun
and storm produce the warmest
glow.
An eccentric old man in London
hung out an auctioneer's red flag
over his front door; he said that lie
did it to "weed out the false friends
who would make off if they thought
that he had come to bankruptcy."
A rather sharp stroke of humor
was that device; and there are quite
too many who are ready to halt
their ca-riages before the door of a
fine mansion, but who have very
fewv by-streets and back-lanes on
their visiting lists. Prosperity breeds
friends, adlversity tests them.
Theodore L. Cuyler.
The Church Tramp.
"What church do you attend?"
was once asked of a bright young
fellow, doing business in one of our
large cities.
''Oh, I just run around,"' lie an
swered, gaily, "I don't understand
the difference between the church
es; in fact, there is a greait deal in
the Bible itself that I don't under
stand, and until I do, of course I
can't join any church.''
"IHow many hours a day do you
spend studying this matter?'' asked
his questioner.
' "Hours?" lie repeated, in suir
prise.
"W\ell, then, minutes?''
Thle young mani was du1mb.
'"Ah,'' said his companion, with
patient sadness, "'not one! If you
thought a knowledge of. geology
necessary to y'our1 success in life, or
astronomy, o-shorthiand, you would
not think of spenin;g less than one
hour a day ini its study, perhaps
three; and you 'would nt expect to
know or unde'rstand it without that
exertion. But the knowlecdge of
God, of Jesus Christ, of salvation
--the highest and deepest of all
knowledge-you sit around and
wait for, as if it would- come like a
flash of lightning."-O::- Young

cones to the front with a plan to
make violets as big aw ourrant bushics
which there is practi(illy no limit to
the size to grow.
Two Years ago Gardner 'M. Sher
m:m, a mechanic of Springfield, M:iss.
sot out jwo rose bushes of the saino
kind and sizo in his gar(de). One of
the bushes wis planted iii th(3 earth
in the ordinary way. The other was
arrangod with its roo's twined about
small cylindor of porous uatoi;al,
with an open tubc running to the
bot Lom of the cylinder and projecting
above the surface of ground. Into
this tube ho poured daily a solution of
ammonia, manure and sulphuric acid.
At the end of two years of this
treatment the rose bush planted in
the ordinary way had grown to be
three foot in height. The bush which
had been artificially fed stood more
than fifteen foot tall at the samo
time.
On the smaller bush during the
second yoar thero were but seven
roses, while the larger bore during
the same season more than 1,00o
magnificent roses.
This season a number of prominent
horticulturists will experimnnt with
Mr. Sherman's device; including the
scientists at the State agricultural
experimental station of Massachu
setts.

Mr. S. S. McClure has secured
from Rudyard Kipling a series of
stories of the South African war.
The first, entitled "T"he Outsider,"
will appear in the Jily iinber of
McClure's Maga.ine. This story
introdices a youing ignorant bu1t
self-important Subaltern detailed to
the command of a remote railway
station who gets into serious trou
ble. As a character study, this is
one of the mliost vigorous and amius
ing stories Mr. Kipling has ever
written.
In the July McClure's appears a
sketch of Bryan by the well known
Kansas journalist, William Allea
White, autlior of "Hoyville Sto
ries. 'This is the first of a series
of pen portraits of political celebri
ties by a writer particularly qiali
flied to write of both their public aid
private life. The article contains a
shrewd estimate of Bryan's politic.,
career and throws iieh ligi '.1
the causes of his popularity.
An article that will attract
ticular attentiion at this time is th.
in the July McClure's on "Railway
Development in China,"' by Mr.
Barclay Parsons, with illustrations
from photographs and maps. Bret
Harte contributes a story of a ro
mantic episode in a California mi nI
ing camp, and Cyrus Townsend
Brady writes of the "''Fall of Que
bec.'' "'The Sea Builders, ' an il
lustrated article on lighthouses and
life-saving stations, is also found in
this issue.
