The statement goiog the rounds of the press that
Mr.. f. f. Smith, partner of the late Mr. Perkins, one
of the victims Of the late terrible accident on the Cen
trsl Raj road, had become insane in consequence
thereof has no more foundation than the fact THAI his
brother Rufus has become deranged from some other
cause. The story has greatly injured Mr.. Smith 10 his
