snOCKING ACCIDENT.
Negro Man Killed by n Railroad Train
Terribly Mangled-Arm Shattered
20 SDIinfers and Head Mashed

1900
Terribly Mangled-Arm Shattered
30 SpIinters and Head Mashed.
One OF the most shocking accidents
caused by railroad train that has come
under our observation for some months
past, occurred on Friday evening, By which
a negro man is deprived Of life, leaving
his body, arms and head terribly mapgled.
The accident occurred at the crossing Of
the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad
and the Nolensville turnpike. 1t hap.
pened in this way A large stout negro
man named Ben. Patterson was employed
as a WAGNER by Mr.. James Patterson. He
vas driving his wagon on The Nolensrille
turnpike. On reaching the railroad CROSS
ing, he drove his team across the road and
halted ii, leaving the hind wheels near the
track. He then left the team standing in
the road and went back a short distance TO
a grocery to procure a drink. While AT
the grocery, he heard the locomotive ofihe
passing train belonging to the Shelbyyiiie
and Tullahoma accommodation. Thinking
probably that the team might become
frightened at the cara, he hurried toward
1t. He reached the track at the same mo-
ment the locomotive came along. The
negro was caught by the cow-catcher and
whirled along the track considerable dis
lance, and was finally hurled distance of
near forty feet. He was taken up in an
insersible condition, and conveyed to the
St. VINCENT hospital, where he received
the proper attention. We saw the negro
on Yesterday be is shockingly mutilated.
His left arm is shattered all TO pieces, and
his right arm was badly bruised. The
most serious injuries he received, however,
were on the head. He received a severe
hit Just above the right temple, and ter
rible blow on the back part the head, each
inhicting ghastly wounds. These blows
produced conclusion of the brain. The
negro, when we saw him, was perfectly un-
conscious his head was swollen to twice the
usual size, and hisgrsat muscular frame was
writing in agonizing contortions. He
was pronounced 10 be in dying condition,
and no surgical operation could be at
tempted. Stimulants were being admin
istered with the view of producing re-
action, but no hopes were entertained of
his recovery. When we left him he was
evidently dying most horrible death.
The circumstance should be warning to
teamsters 10 he cautious when driving in
the vicinity Of railroad crossings and not
leave their teams in too close proximity TO.

lbs Organization and CapReify--Num
Der of Patients Treated-Present
Number fn HospitaI-Its Benesiis,
etc. etc. ssf.s+f4 &&t
There is, perhaps, no institution of the
city which may be regarded of more prac-
teal benefit to class of persons that could
not otherwise be reached than the So. VIM
cent Hospital. The building il located on
South College street, not far from the Med
zeal College, and is the same house that
belongs to Capt Hughes The building
contains twenty rooms and ia capable OF
accommodating 175 patients at one time.
The hospital was regularly opened on the
first of October last, under the immediate
supervision of the Medical Department of
the University of Nashville. DR.. W. T.
Briggs is Superintendent Of the hospital,
Drs. Paul F. Eve and Briggs are the Sur
geons, while Drs. w. X. Bowling, c. III.
Winston, Z. r. Jennings and Joseph Jones
are the regular physicians. DR.. A. Y. ).
Lindsey is the Resident Physician, Chas.
Toney is Steward, and Mrs. Toney Matron
of the institution. A better organization
for an institution Of this character could
not be well conceived. Since the opening
of the hospital, there have been admitted
and treated near 200 patients, and some of
the most delicate surgical operations have
been successfully performed. Thns the
institution is working a vast deal of good,
besides the advantages afforded to the stu
dents of the college, who have an opporiu-
nifty of witnessing these surgical operations
and seeing the Development Of disease in all
its forms. This is the only hospital in the
city, and it is well conducted, being kept
up for the most part by the pay of patients
who apply, which affords the opportunity
of extending aid to the suffering INDECENT
There are at the present time thirty-six
patients in the hospital, most of whom are
surgical eases who will recover. We noticed
several cases of recent amputation, which
were doing remarkably well. A patient
left the building few days since who had
had tumor cut from his bowels weighing
fifteen pounds. The operation was sue
cessfuIly performed, and he will recover.
Nashville is the only city of its size in
the United States but what has regular
hospital; hence the st. Vincent is of all
the more importance, as it may be the
initiatory to the erection of large and
capacious hospital at some future day wor-
thy of our large city, and adapted to the
wants of the community.

THE COAL QUEsTIoN.-Our article on
Sunday last upon the subject of coal, has
created considerable comment and drawn
attention to the subject. II is claimed by
some dealers that load of coal is load.
This may be the case where the coal is
brought on the cars and sold by aosight. That
coal should be sold by weight, and that
each pound shonld be a pound Of coal, are
considerations worthy the attention ofcon-
SINNERS. We are not mistaken when we say
that we have heard of frequent complaints
about the shortness of loads. We have
heard Of parties who paid the same price
for load that turned out no more than
thirteen bushels of good COAL that other
parties paid for load that turned out
seventeen bushels. A couple of days ago
a gentleman bought load of coal, that on
delivery proved to be one~hird ice. The
weight of coal is, and should be the stand
ard of measurement, and nothing hut coal
should be weighed when the purchase OF
the article is made
