Crushed TO Death Under n Car
Wheel,

A fatal accident occurred near Murray S
Saw Mill, on the Knoxville and Kentucky
Railroad, between Coal Greek and Bibb's
Cut, last Saturday afternoon, says the
Knoxville Press and Herald.
A car had been left on the track, loaded
with freight, destined for the saw mill.
Charles Murray and his brother got on the
car for the purpose of starting it down the
track, which was a steep incline, and then
switch it off on to a side track.
Raising the brakes the car started down.
As it neared the switch one of the brothers
suddenly put on the brakes. Charles Muir
ray, who was standing in the front Of the
car, ready to jump, was thrown down in
front of the car and the wheels passed over
his side and leg, crushing them and
causing instant death.

Advent Of asreenbacks Remembered

A colored man giving his testimony be-
fore the Criminal Court yesterday, in the
trial of another imam and brother" for
larceny committed several years ago, was
asked by the attorney for the defendant at
what time certain event occurred. The
question puzzled the witness somewhat at
first, but all at once happy idea seemed
to strike him, and seemingly happy at the
glorious recollection, he answered sit was
jist about the time greenbacks first come
about" The answer settled disputed
point, threw light upon dark subject, and
gave the court, jury, and attorneys oppor-
tunity to fix approximately upon certain
wanted period in the resistless march Of
time. The witness said he was not q
reading man, but would always remember
what he thought when ''greenbacks first
come about" folks Nigh fool him on othel
things, but his memory on the monetary
issue of the period-such as greenbacks
for instance, would always remain steadfast
and mistaken.

ChancerY Court.

The argument before Chancellor East in
the case of Harrison and Trabue VS.. Ten
nessee and Pacific Railroad was concluded
yesterday, but no decision has yet been
rendered by the Chancellor. The question
argued was whether the injunction pre-
viously granted shall be dissolved, the
railroads representatives contending that
as complainants had agreed to submit the
matters in dispute to arbitration, with the
condition that the award be made the
Judgment of the court, they thereby lost
the right, if they ever had any, to ask for
an injunction. Complainants claim that
in the agreement to submit to arbitration
there was an express reservation Of the
right to ask for the interposition of O
Court of Chancery, if necessary, and that
they waived no rights.
Argument was commenced in the case
of McGavock and Harding VS.. the Nash
vile and Northwestern Railroad Company,
being an application for an injunction
against said Railroad Company, on account
of damages not yet paid for.
