TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT ENTERPRISE, Mss
We learn by private letter from Enterprise.
Miss, that a most fearful tragedy was enacted
in that town on the night of the oath. IL APP
pears that on the evening in question, a Mr..
William johnson went into the house of man
by the name of Woolly. He had not been
there long before some dispute arose which ter
minated in an ARRAY in which Woolly drew a
pistol and shot johnson, wounding him severe
iy. but not TO such an extent as to render him
helpless at the time. johnson as soon rs he
was shot succeeded in getting possession Of an
axe which was in the vicinity, and rushing
upon Woolly, struck him terrible blow, kill
ing him instantly. johnson who was very
much enragod aud probably was hardly con
scious of the crime he was committing, then
attacked and killed Wooly's wife and baby,
and also severely wounded one of his daughters,
who, however, it is supposed succeeded in
making her escape and giving the alarm.
JohnSon'S wound which he received at the
commencement of the difficulty, is Of very Sc
rious character, and he is not expected to re-
cover.
This terrible affair has created the most in
tense excitement and CONJUNCTION in the COM
munity Of Enterprise where both the parties
were well known Mobile Tribune, JuRe &c.

from the Times.

The question Of railway signals in England
our readers may remember, has attracted much
attention of late years. The engineering mind
OF the country has been exercised i'm a most ear
nest way to devise means for enabling passen-
gers to communicate with the guards in case of
accident, or attempted violence in any separate
carriage. We had mtimated in these columns
that the vulgar strap, which we have always
made use of here in the United States, has not
been Intellectual in the prevention of murders,
outrages, rapes, and so forth on board railway
trains, inasmuch as by simply pulling it an ordi
nary passenger train might be brought to a
stand in a very short space OF time. REGARDLESS
OF any suggestions of ours, the engineering
experiments to which we refer have gone on in
LOndOn and other parts OF the United Kingdom.
And 1t would appear from report in the Lon
Gon Times that scientific labor and research
have at last met their Just reward.
We do not perhaps, thoroughly understand
all the technical points in the London I2neS
report; but we have no doubt that the whole
thing hinges upon the establishment of Il Ger,
tain chemical affinity, with which every passen.
ger ON getting aboard goes fully charged at
/ Inc Company's expense. Our London contempo-
| rary, III the issue of the 10th inst, says:-
yesterday experiments were made In trains
! running between the Victoria Station and the
Orystal Palace, for the purpose of testing an in
Yehuon Tor establishing communication between
/ passengers and guard while the train Is in
motion. Several railway directors, officials,
ana other gentlemen were present. The in
Rentlon was patented by Messrs lie KeuX and
Wlshart, the object being 10 place the commu-
hlcatlon IN the power OF every passenger as well
as between the front guard and rear guard.

gave the signal. The apparatus was applied TO
the last carriage OF a long train, and those who

The apparatus consisted of piece of tubing in
