How Tooth Was Taken Out AT the
Chattanooga Depot.

How Tooth Was Taken Out at the
Chattanooga Depot.
A rather remarkable rencontre took place
at the Chattanooga Depot yesterday morn
ing, between Abe Towles and Bill Hart,
two rival negro hackmen, who had refined
up near the platform, and were awaiting
the appearance of an incoming train. As
soon az they observed each other, they
opened a sharp fire Of words which quick
ly brought them together, notwithstanding
Harris pacific preamble, "Go way from
here, Abe; | don't want TO hab no fuss
wild yOu."
As they were about to close, Towles drew
knife and slasheG it into the left jaw of
Hart, completely emitting out one of his
teeth, and breaking the knife blade off in
the wound. Towles was at once placed I'M
der arrest, and Hart was turned over to a
surgeon. The prisoner was taken TO police
headquarters, and released on giving bond
of $500 for his appearance before the Com
missioner. VIM. Sumner, colored, became
his security.

"a. HBronrrtv-HOlders FOrestall An
uexntlon by Asking incorporation
A large meeting of the property-hold-
ers Of Edgefeld was held at CampbelPs
store last night, and it was unanimously
determined to make application to the
County Court, asking an election at which
the question of the incorporation of Edge
field into town should be submitted to its
voters.
The discussion was very interesting, the
great point made by all the speakers being
that incorporation was the only safeguard
against annexation to debt-burdened Nash
vile, end Judge Guild thought that in
time, should Nashville reform and pay her
debts Edgefeld might possibly annex her.
The following is the boundaries of the
proposed town OF Edgafeld, "a set forth in
the application which is to be made to the
County Court:
Beginning in the center of Cumberland
river, due west from where Crutcher street
intersects said river; thence east to
Crutcher street, and with said Crutcher
street east with the north boundary line Of
the lands of DIR. Jno. Shelby, deceased, to
the west side of the Whites Greek pike /;
thence, crossing said pike, and running in
an easlerly direction to the mouth of Ma
rino street, at the Lishey pike; thence east
