ing, 1,S47, lis pounds; smoking, 1892, 664
pounds. The amount of tax paid thereon

lars is invested in this business in Detroit,
and the city claims to be the leading man.
ufacturing point in the United States.
In regard to the New York market, the
Financial Chronicle says:
The Market for tobacco the past week
has been quiet for Kentucky, but in other
particulars shows more activity.
In Kentucky leaf there is fair demand,
both for export and home use, but buyers
for export want a concession to correspond
with the late decline in gold, but holders,
in view of the light receipts and the ad-
mitted deficiency in the crop, are not dis
posed to give way, and the business for the
week has been limited to about 250 hhds in
small parcels, and distributed among the
various descriptions of buyers.
There is a decrease in the exports Of
crude tobacco this week, the totals from
all the ports reaching 50T hhds, 2l3 cases,
26O bales and 81 tierces, against >, 5j5 hhds,
1874 cases and AGO bales for the previous
seven days. OF these exports for this week,
105 hhds, 203 cases, 204 bales and 81
tierces were from New York; 25S hhds and
Sc bales from Baltimore, and IA hhds from
New Orleans. The direction Of the ship
ments of hhds was as follows: To Liver
pool, 60; to Bremen, $40; to French West
Indies, 81; to British North American Col
onies, 80, and the balance to different ports.
During the same period the exports Of
manufactured tobacco reached 70, 1855 TBS,
of which 80, $50 lbs were to Melbourne.

Mine Freight Cars off the Track.
There were two accidents of quite Sc
we're nature, as regards damages to cars, on
the Nashville and Decatur Railroad yester-
day. As the freight train going south
reached point one mile south of Pulaski,
from some cause two of the cars were
thrown from the track and considerably in
iured, one of them being badly damaged.
The up freight train was thrown from the
track near Duck river. Seven cars attached
to this train we're thrown over, and num-
Der of them are pretty badly smashed to
pieces. The last accident, and the more
extensive of the two, occurred at o'clock
in the afternoon, and the other at half past
two. Hands were engaged yesterday even
ing in removing the wreck and debris OF
the cars from the track. The track is clear
below Duck river, the difficulty at Pulaski
having been remedied. Several of the cars
at Duck river are almost, as we learn, q
wreck, and SO great are the distinctions
that no trains were expected to arrive here
by that road for twenty four hours from the
time of the accident. The train which was
to have left yesterday evening did not go
out Fortunately no one was killed or Sc
riously injured by either accident. We ex-
pect to have more full particulars to-day.

SHOCKING DEATH
A MAN knocked from the Top OF
n Train.
ne is Run Over ana Horribly
fangie6.

We again have TO record one of the most |
shocking deaths by railroad train thathas
ever occurred during all of our reportorial
duties. We have never seen the remains
of any man SO lacerated, they being SO
literally ground into pieces as to be not
much more than recognizable as the mu-
tlated tenement of once breathing and
throbing soul. The shocking affair occur
red at the. depot of the Nashville and
Chattanooga Railroad at half-past o'clock
yesterday afternoon. A young gentleman
named McTigue, near 20 years of age,
whose first name is not known, has been
for sometime engaged on Section No. 4, Of
the Nashville and Northwestern Railroad.
He had, by industry and good department,
opened the way to promotion on the road,
and he was employed as brakeman on the
Chattanooga road. Yesterday was his first
trip in this capacity, he having just left his
companions on the section to assume his
new position. The freight train South was
| quite heavy one, and after being coupled
and the locomotive attached, was starting
| out Of the depot on her Southwark bound
trip. Young McHgue was at his post on
top of the cars as they started. He started
| to walk to the rear Of the train, his back to
| lilo AOOOA14Ob4NO. AAOoO III lIOub b1kuuto0
and hsllowed for him to stoop, but
his back being toward them, he
| neither saw nor heard their ad
monitions On went the train till with
thug the back of his head struck the top
of the tunnel, crushing in the back part o.
his skull and scattering the brain upon the
car The shock hurled him down on the
track between the passing cars, and, there
being no one to put down the breaks, those
behind passed over him, mangling and
tearing him in narrowing and sickenins
manner. His chest and breast bones were
mashed In and his ribs crushed to splinters
| he was cut in two across the abdomen BY
the wheels. The poor man was doubled
up as each succeeding wheel would farthe
tear him to pieces. His hips were shiveret
and his limbs cut Rssunder and crushed
One portion of the torn form was here an,
another there, and the spectacle was one G
the most chilling we ever witnessed. Ate
: the train had passed, the Coroner wa
summoned and an inquest was held. TIL
facts being elected IS above, a verdict wa
| rendered in accordance with the same. tn
remains were conveyed to the undertaken

street, where they are this morning, pre-
pared for interment. Mr.. K. says that i
all his experience he has never seen hU
D man form more torn to pieces and mutt

4 painful affair transpired at the Race
Course on Sunday evening, that will prob
ably result in the death of youth familiar
to turfmen and visitors to the track. The
lad is known by the name of ''Guinea,"
and has been a race rider at the track for
length of time. His full name we did not
learn. He is about sixteen years Of age
and was. at the time, in the employ of blr.
Cadwallader, doing stable duty. Near
o'clock on Sunday, a gentleman well
known about the track, on his return from
a hunting trip, stopped and engaged in
some playful remarks with "Guinea' and
some other boys. The boys jokingly told
him that they would take his gun away
from him. A friendly and playful scuffle
ensued in which all the boys participated.
A colored boy taking hold of the gun, the
others joining him, they laughingly told
the gentleman that they would have his
gun. In this tussle the gun went off, the
contents entering the back of Guinea
Just above the hips and ranging downwards
in the direction of the kidneys. The
wound was intensely painful and is consid-
cred dangerous if not mortal He was
conveyed on a litter to the st. Vincent
Hospital yesterday evening, where he will
receive the proper medical treatment.
