Friday night bei v. een 10 and 11 . > lock Eitle Frierson, a colored wo? man about fifty year* old waa knock? ed d.?\\n by backing can and one of i.< r lega nui out oft. Bhe was at once j taken |0 th BUttltST hospital When* her leg was amputati d. Bhe died from the shock about 3:30 a. m. Sat? urday. From the evidence taken at the coroner's Inquest on Saturday it ssemi that Elsie waa going borne from Ohurch With several other negro wo? men and when they came to the Bum ter street crossing on tin ir way home tin y were stopped by the crossing be? ing blocked by several ears which ex? tended for about two car lengths across the track, They waited for quite a while and as the track was not Cleared and other persons came along and went around the end of the train of cars they decided to go ar ound that way also. All had passed except Elsie when the engine started off to make a clearing at the crossing. The rear car struck her and knocked her down, between the trucks, run? ning over her leg and crushing it he-1 low the knee. A doctor was called for and he had Elsie taken to the hospital where Doctors China. Baker and Birnie am? putated her leg just below the knee. She died from the injuries received later on in the night. All of the witnesses testified that there was no light on the rear of the cars and that there was no ball to warn them that the car was abo; t to start. The conductor in eharge of ?ho train stated that he was on top of one of the cars with a white light hut that he did not know anything about the accident or the woman trying to cross tintil his attention was attracted by the screams of her friends. The engineer knew nothing at all about 1 the accident except that he had been ' signalled to start the train and then had been signalled to stop it before ho had gone more than half a car length. He had stopped it at once and had then waited until the switch? man had come to him after the wo? man had been taken to the hospital and told him that a woman had been run over.

Thousand Dollars. Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock the A. C. L. railroad trestle over Lynches* river was found to be on fire and before the lire was stopped at least 200 feet of the trestle had been burned to the ground. Train hands were hurried to the scene this morn? ing and a train load of lumber and ties was shipped to the scene to have the damage repaired as quickly as [ possible. The lire is supposed to have caught I from the fire In ths surrounding swamp and woods which have been burning for several days. The part of the trestle is on the Darlington side of the swamp and about 200 feet of the trestle has been burned. ? All trains were stopped at the station! on this side, Elliotts, and on the other side of the bridge, Lamar, yesterday afternoon?the stations nearest to the lire -there being no communica? tion at all between Darlington and Bumter. The train from Blshopvllle was run in yesterday afternoon, how? ever, and went out while the regular Gibson train made its trip between Gibson and Lamar. On Mnnda\ the train to Blshopvllle was run out to that place .main and a special train was run to Gibson by way of Flor? ence, The loss done the trestle tan not be closely estimated although Super? intendent Brand, of this division, stated this morning that it would not be less than several thousand dol? lars.

Prevailed Ppon to Wlllulruw. Washington, March I.?Senator Joseph W, Bailey added to tite ex? citement ami to the extraordinary episodes surrounding the adjourn? ment of Congress today, by resigning his office as senator from th'- State of Texas. Angered by the attitude ol his Dem? ocratic i olleagues, in favoring the resolution approving the te w Consti? tution of Arizona, to which Mr. Bailey has declared his undying op? position, he wrote Iiis resignation and took It to the Vice President, with the request that he announce it to the Senat . Mr, Sherman declined to have anything to do with it; Senator Bacon, importuned in like manner to announce it, took a similar position. Thereupon, the Texan telegraphed it to Governor <>. B. Colqultt, of Texas, who promptly refused to accept it, replying as follows: "I? decline to accept year resigna? tion as a Senator from Texas, and re? spectfully ask you to withdraw it. Please wire fully." Meanwhile, the resignation was the subject of excited discussion. Many of Mr. Bailey s Democratic colleagues e: pressed regret at his action and urged him to reconsider his action. Not a few stated that he would think better of his decision "after he cools off," and would withdraw his resig? nation. "You know how unalterably I am oppose d to these Populistic heresh B, known as the inlative referendum and recall." said the Senator, "and I would not be willing to remain in the same or any other branch of pub lie service, if a majority of the party friends associated with me were wil? ling to give their approval to them. "I construed the vote of the Demo? cratic Senators In the Senate this morning, on the resolution approv? ing the Constitution of Arizona, as giving their support to those vagaries, and under that impression I promptly tendered my resignation. The ablest and most conspicuous Democrats who voted that way ha\e given me their assurance that they d'd not in? tend their votes to be so construed and have made, through Senator Ba? con, a statement ' .1 the open Senate, expressly declaring that they utterly disapproved them. "Under these circumstances and ;it their tarnest request, us well as at your own request, supplemented by many messages from my friends in Texas and some from other States, 1 have concluded to withdraw my resignation. I am willing to work to the limit of my strength, so long as 1 can s< rve the public and at the same time obey what I understand to be the commandment of Democratic principles, but no office could tempt me to assist in a policy that I think would help to destroy the Govern? ment established by our fathers." Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, before he heard that Mr. Bailey had withdrawn his resignation, issued a statement, in which he expressed pro? found regret at the Texan's action, characterizing it as "precipitate and unwise, the result of passion, which he will regret as soon as he cools off." He declared Mr. Bailey "the ablest man in the Senate, and one of the best equipped men in public life," and that he had known for years that there was a coterie in the Senate envious of Mr. Bailey and plot? ting against his assuming leadership. "The Senator has played into their hands by his action," he continued. "I knew Bailey was mad," said an? other Senator, "but 1 never thought he would use his rage as a hatchet to split open his own head." Eleven of the Democratic Senators sent to Governor Colqultt the follow? ing: "We, Democratic Senators, speak? ing for ourselves, regard the proposed resignation of Senator Bailey as a national calamity, and we urge upeii the people of Texas to demand that he withdraw the same, and that he continue to serve In the Senate, in which he is the undisputed and most conspicuous leader." This telegram was signed by Sen? ators Bacon, Foster, Overman, Tallla ferro, Paynter, Bankhead, Percy, Johnston, Taylor, Watson and Fletch? er, While Senator Bailey predicated his resignation upon the votes of the Democrats on the Arizona question, many of his friends look upon that Vote as "the last straw" In a series >f snubs, intended io show Mr. Bailey the futility of aspiring to the Demo? cratic leadership. Close observers of recent developm* nts In the s? nate know that a movement against him h is been grow ing on the Democratic side for the past few weeks and many people lu re heheve now that filibust? er, led by Senator St un1 and backed by a large Democratic following, was due partly to a desire to show Mr. Bailey that his Influence was waning.

"I had several hemorrhages of the lungs. The doctors did not help me much and would never have cured me. "I saw a testimonial in a Parana almanac of a case similar to mine, and I commenced using it. I wrote to Dr. Hartman for advice. He kindly gave me freo advice. "I was not able to wait on myself when I began using it. I gained very slowly at first, but I could see that it was helping me. "After I had taken it a while I com? menced to raiso up a stringy, sti ky, Substance from my lungs. This grew less and less in quantity as I continued the treatment. "I grew more fle.shy than I had been for a long time, and now 1 call myself well." A Bad Cough. Mrs. Emma Martin, Odessa, Mo., writes: "I cannot thank you enough ior curing me. "For two years I doctored my cough, which cost me many dollars, hut still I seemed to get worse. My cough was so bad I could not sleep. "Finally I purchased a bottlo of Pa? rana.

A vote was taken on the Lorimer case and almost immediately obstructive tac? tics were hegen by Democrats against tio tariff board bill. The only ex? planation Mr. Bailey could make was that he was unable to call off his col? leagues. In this state of affairs, it took lit? tle to arouse his anger to flame. All it needed w-as the open slap given aim today, when he advised against the adoption of the Owen motion in regard to Arizona Statehood. Al? though that motion was defeated, its defeat was due almost entirely to Re? publican votes. Send us your Job werk. (Spell-Norton. Monday afternoon at <; </? lock, Mr. James E.
