ing sentiment of the opening session
tonight of an International confer?

SHOT BY TOY CANNON.
Juhu T. Anderson. t5 Years Old
struck In Los: by Load From Little
Gun.
Charleston. Dec. 18.?The first
Yuletlde fatality in Charleston took
place yesterday afternoon and a toy
cannon aas to blame. A party of lads,
celebrating the approach of Christ?
mas, had loaded the miniature gun
with buckshot. A load struck John
T. Anderson, 15 years old, In the leg,
and he died shortly after being taken
to a hospital.
He declared that even If America
or England stood alone in such a
treaty, the rest of the world would
see the benefit of the movement and
follow suit. He cited the large com?
mercial exchange between nations as
evidence of the fact that they should
be partners at all times In keeping
the world at peace.
Mr. Carnegie deplored the crime of
killing which, he said, is the moral
wrong for which war should be ab?
olished. He said that it was the wish
of Washington. Lincoln, Grant and
Sherman that war might cease for?
ever, and he commended the Ger?
man Kmperor for his efforts to re
strict private war?"duelling"?In
the army and navy.
"In all this," he continued, "we
n> te the supreme Importance attach?
ed to the moral equation, the out?
standing QtMStlon of right or wrong."
The appeal to conscience, not to
the poeket. Is the paramount issue.
That war Is costly Is true, but this
loss might be endured; that It is a
< i ime, i heinous crime, for men to
kill eaeh other, is the truth that in?
sure* its speedy abolition.
He concluded with an appeal to th.
i lety to < o?operate v ith the peace
foundation end all other peace or?

Biggest Collection Made?Meeting
of Committee Tomorrow at 10 A.
ML
The eighteenth annual mass
meeting of Sunday schools held in this
city for the purposee of raising funds
with which to give Christmas gifts
to the poor and needy of the icty was
held Sunday afte.-noon in the Pres?
byterian church at 4 p. m. A small
attendance was present, owing to the
rainy weather, but the largest col?
lection was made since the origin of
this beautiful custom.
The meeting unanimously elected
Mr. L. I, Parrott, in sp.te of all pro?
test on his part, to be chairman for
tin- eighteenth time of the commit?
tee which has the distribution of
the presents in charge, the others
named on the committee with
him being Messrs. J. H. Scarborough,
W. S. Jones, C, L. Cuttino, and W. B.
Fpshur.
The committees appointed from the
Sunday schools of the various
churches 'were: Christian church,
Mrs. Helms and Mrs. Qarhart; First

Mary Britto A; Washington Street
Baptist church, Mrs. E. C. Hayns?
worth and Mrs. F. M. Satterwhite;
First Baptist church. Mrs. M. A.
Flowers and Mrs. G?rden. The com?
mittees from the Sabbath schools of
the Slnai Jewish Synagogue and
the Catholic church were not appoint?
ed as there were no persons at the
meeting representing those churches,
and will have to be appointed later.
The d,?natlons were about the same
as usual, with the exception of the
check for $240 presented by Col. K.
D. Lea for the estate* ?f'?rt. Sita
Tourney who had left $3,000 to be
put out at interest which every year
at Christmas time was to be given
for the poor of the city. The other
collections were not so large as usual,
but this was owing to the small at?
tendance, the smallest since the begin?
ning of these meetings eighteen years
ago. It is worthy of mention here
that this was the first time in the
eighteen years that this beautiful
custom hu8 been going on that the
weather has interfered with the
meeting in any way and tended to
make the attendance smaller than it
otherwise would have been.
The exercises were opened with
singing. Mr. H. C. Haynsworth presid?
ing over the meeting and conducting
the order of exercises. After the
singing of several sacred songs, Mr.
U. D, Fpps made the address of the
evening.. He spoke in a plain direct
way. He told of the great joy which
would be brought to the hearts of
the poor children when they received
the Christmas gifts sent to them by
the children of the Sunday schools of
the city and how Santa Clause came
to them and did not go to the poor
children so that they might act as
Santa Clause to the poor children. A
beautiful solo was rendered by Miss
Beaufort Brand during the meeting
Which was most appropriate to the
Christmas season and for the 00?ai
Ion.
When Mr. Hurst, as chairman of
the collection committee, asked for
contributions, Col. lt. D. Fee rose and,
in u touching and eloquent eulagy
paid to the memory of Mrs. Ella
Toumey, told bow that worthy lady
loft JFi.OUU Which he as the solo ex?
ecutor Of her estate, had put out .it
tut? rest and now he would for tin
estate of Mrs. Toumey give the in
terest on that money for the poor of
the city, the amount of the cheek be?
ing $240, Mr. Hurst thanked Mr.
Lee, stating that Mrs. Toumey had
always been a liberal giver during
her life and now that she was dead
she had built h* r own monument in
the hearts of lor fellow eltlsens bj
leaving this beneficent glfl for the
poor.

Resporta Place Scene of Disaster on
Small Island Near San Sulvudor.
New Orleans, Dec. 18.?A sepciul
dispatch to The Times-Democrat from
Port Limon, Costa Rica, says that a
small island off the coast of San Sal?
vador disappeared last Thursday fol?
lowing a series of earth shocks and it
Is believed that 17 families, or about
90 persons, lost their lives.
The dispatch adds that San Salva?
dor was repeatedly shaken by earth?
quakes last week and the series of
Thurslay night was especially se?
vere.
"The people on the little island
Ilopango were observed giving signals
of distress late Thursday afternoon,"
?ays the dispatch, "but it 'was out of
question at that hour, because of the
excitable condition of the people on
the Salvadorean shore, to send them
relief. The earth shocks continued
until past midnight Thursday and
Friday morning the island had en?
tirely disappeared."

tribution committee would appre?
ciate It if he or some of his committee
are notified before Thursday night.
There will be a meeting of all of
the members of the committees ii
the Grand Jury room tomorrow morn?
ing at 10 o'clock and all of those on
the committees are expected to be
present and ready to begin work.
It was during the latter part of the
meeting that Mr. Hurst announced
that Mr. Parrott who had always
been chairman of the contribution
committee had positively refused to
serve on that committee again and
.tba^a.WO^ld like to.hear some.ofY
nomlnate some person to take the
place. Mr. 13arto?w Walsh stated
that he thought Mr. J. H. Scarborough
would be a good man for the place
and that he had consented to serve as
chairman of the committee. Mr.
Scarborough got up and stated that
Mr. Walsh had misunderstood him
for he had not said that he would
act as chairman of the committee,
but that he had said that he would
be willing to serve on the committee
with some one else as chairman. He
said that he could get off the three
days prior to Christmas and that,
while he would be willing to serve on
the committee, he did not think that
he woulld be a good man for the
chairmanship as he was a new man
in the town and did not yet know who
were the poor and deserving and who
were not. He therefore thought that
some one who did should be appoint?
ed as chairman of the committee.
Mr. It. D. Dee, then got up and stat?
ed that Mr. L. 1. Parrott was the best
man for the place and that he thought
that the audience ought to unani?
mously elect him to the office atul
that if he should refuse in the face
of such an election he thought that
he ought to be run out of town as a
poor citizen and that he would be
willing to draw up papers of im?
peachment against him and run him
out of office, Mr. Parrott then tinted
that he would under the pressure ac?
cept the office but that he thought
that someone else should have it as
he had been severely criticised In the
distribution of gifts and he thought
that someone else ought to be ap?
pointed who COUld be mote bucc0s8
ful In pleasing the people. He was
unanimously elected to till the po?
sition.

MAN MANGLED BY ENGINE.
JOHN MIMS. A. C. L. YARD CAR
INSPECTOR, HAS BOTH LEGS
CUT OFF BY YARD EN?
GINE.
Engine Run by Engineer Divine
Knocke Him Down Mangling Both
Ix'gs?Different Stories of Accident.
John J. Mims. white, ear inspector
on the A. C. L. yards, was knocked
down Monday morning about 10:35 bj
an Atlantic Coast Line yard engine
run by Engineer Sam B. Divine, and
both his legs cut off, one above and
the other below the knee, at the
railroad crossing on Harvin street.
There are different stories told of
how the accident occurred, but the
one generally acepted as correct was
that told by Engineer Divine. He
says that Mims was sitting on the rod
of another engine just to the right ol
the one he was running and that as
he approached the other engine in
passing Mims got off the other en?
gine and started to cross just in1
front of him. He did not have time
to stop, so blew his whistle just be?
fore the engine struck Mims. He
saw the engine strike Mims and when
Mims fell the last wheel of the tn
gine passed over his legs before he
tould stop. He said that he was run?
ning about live or six miles an hour
at the time, not faster.
The same story was told by the
colored porter on the Gibson train,
with the. exception that he would not
say how fast the engine was running.
Mr. S. R. Huggins and Mr. I. J.
Price said that their attention was
attracted by the whistle of the en?
gine and when they looked they saw
Mims throw up his hands and fall to
one side and the rear wheels tf the
engine passed over him. Both of
them said that the steps of the en?
gine struck Mims. Huggins, who is
from Dalzell, said that the engine
was going pretty fast, but that he did
not know how fast it was going.
Price said that he did not notice how
j accident sal. ui.nervsjb Mm th*t W
turned the other way and did not stop.
Another tale told by a well known
and reliable man is that Divine was
running his engine about fifteen
miles an hour and that he had just
said something about his running too
fast when the person he was talking
to said "My God, look there," or
something to that effect. He looked
and saw Mims, who seemed to be
getting off the steps of the engine,
fall and the engine ran over him,
dragging the body for some distance,
lie at once ran to the station and
telephoned for a doctor and sent per?
sons out to find other doctors to bring
aid to the wounded man. He was the
first man to reach Mims and he did
what he could for him as quickly as
possible.
Mims retained his senses until he
was put on a wagon and started off
to the hospital, Dr. Clifton, of Orange
burg, being the first doctor to arrive
on the scene and helped assist the
wounded man on the wagon. Other
doctors arrived just as the wagon
started off and accompanied the man
to the hospital.
Mims bled freely while lying on the
ground, and all the time he was cry?
ing out, "Lord, look what a tix I'm
in now. Can't some one get a doc?
tor. Do for Lord's sake someone do
something for me." At one time he
cried out, "I thought i could pass In
front of that engine." He was deathly
white and seemed to be suffering
agonies from bis mangled limbs. One
of ihe legs was broken all the way
up above the knee while the other
was broken and crushed below the
knee. Handkerchiefs werf tied
tightly above the wounds to keep
him from bleeding to death while B
doctor was being waited for.
There were a great many eye wit?
nesses of tin* occurrence.
