FRIGHTFUL RAILROAD ACcI-
DENT
one Man kirlea ana rive woanaeei-
Three cars smashed 30 pieces

One of the most serious and damaging |
railroad accidents we have had to chroni- |
Gle for a length Of time, occurred on the |
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Sunday
morning. Accidents on all railroads are
unavoidable as they are painful. We are
eratifed 70 be able to state that they are on
the Louisville and Nashville road OF less
frequency than on the average of ROADS,
and that losses by accidents are more
speedily repaired and hquidated than on
most of roads,
1t takes vast capital, administrative
talents of the first order, untiring energy
and sleepless vigilance to work successfully
an extensive railroad line. This the Louis
| vile and Nashville Railroad, has from
/ President to fireman. There may or there
may not be occasional evidences of care
| lessness. Where there are SO many men
necessarily employed, it would be surprising
| if there were not. No business IN the
world requires and should receive SO much
care and diligence as that Of railroads.
/ Each train is entrusted with life, hope,
property, all that is worth possessing on
| on earth.
The accident referred to occurred at
o'clock Sunday morning, at Oakland Sta
tion, II miles north of Bowling Green. A
freight train, loaded with stock, was com
ing southwark 1t stopped at the station,
waiting for the up passenger train to pass
the switch Behind this regular freight
train there was an extra passenger tram
coming down. Not observing the stoppage
of the regular freight train, the extra train
ran into il. The three hindmost cars were
thrown off the track and smashed all to
pieces, as was also the caboose attached
There we're nine men on the caboose at
the time, who we're scattered peu-men 10y
the debris of the shattered cars. A
man named Moore was badly,
probably dangerously, hurt, being bruised
about the head, face and shoulders, ano
severely burned and scalded. A mulattc
boy, whose name we did not ascertain, was
also badly burned by the crash MIR. A.
r. Thompson, a stock trader, was klheo
outright. He was dead when picked VI
from under the rubbish of the smashed III
cars. He was formerly from Claybornt
} parish, La, to which point he was taking m
stock. 40 head, 80 mules and two fine mares
7 Mr. ThompSons remains were brCugh
} on to Bowling Green, where they wer'
| | buried near sunset Sunday evening. Ih'
stock escaped uninjured- The extra frelgh
received some injury, losing her smok
stack. The passenger train was stationar
D | at the switch at the time of the occurrence
In consequence of the accident and the de
1 Law occasioned by the removal of the debr
q of the wrecked cars, the passenger du
s here at . o'clock Sunday morning did nc
s arrive till o'clock in the afternoon. Th
passengers were weary and fatigued, bu
: felicitated themselves on the considerable
V that the accident was no worse than it was
J. This is the first accident of the kind "
: have had to record on this well-manage
road for many months, and hope that
will he the last for many more.

supreme Court in IVES, Tennessee.

A bill having passed the House to remove
the place Of meeting of the Supreme
Court from Brownsville 10 jackson, in
West Tennessee, a memorial has been pre-
scented to the Senate against the removal
by Col. H. j. Livingston, who makes quite
an elaborate argument against the passage
of the bill. He desires very properly,
that action upon the subject should not be
hasty, but upon a full and impartial inves-
tigation: and that the decision shall rest
upon the broad ground of the interest AMI
convenience Of suitors, the bench and at
torneys, and of the general public. This
would seem to be nothing but fair and
reasonable.
