EPIDEMIC OF RAILROAD DIsAsTERs
Accident on Mississippi Central
Two Men Killed, Several Wounded

About four o'clock Sunday morning, as
the express train of the Mississippi Central
Railroad, bound South, was moving rapidly
along with it's living freight, broken rail
or defective cross-tie threw the whole train
off the track, with the exception of the loco
motive and tender. The sleeping car was
overturned and went down an embankment
of about six feet, and the other cars were
wrecked.
The accident happened between Oxford
aud Water Valley, about fifteen miles south
of the latter place. The oondRtor and one
of the colored train hands were killed, and
several cOlored men had limbs broken. Sev-
eral Of the passengers were wounded, but
none of them dangerously. Mr.. John Ro-
chey, Carondelet street merchant, went
from here to France last June, and subse
quently to his native land, Italy, where on
arriving he was thought to be ill beyond re-
coyery. He did, however, recover, after
forty-five days confnements to his bed; but
on his return toward his home in New Or
leans, he was one of the sufferers by the
railroad disaster on the Mississippi Central.
Mr.. Rochey was lying in lower berth on
one side Of the sleeping-car, Mrs. Rochey in
similar berth on the opposite side, and when
the accident occurred both were severely
confused on the head, and Mr.. Rochey was in
jured slightly on the right leg. As they came
in on the jackson train yesterday, they were
almost disguised by bandages. A little
daughter of Mr.. Rochey, some twelve years
old, was missing for some time, and casual
search and anxious cau disclosed nothing
as to where she was or what was her fate.
The father supposed her to be dead, but on
clearing away the rubbish and obtaining a
candle, she was found beneath the wreck
asleep and entirely uninjured.
None of the passengers escaped injury
entirely. Rev. Robert j. Harp, agent in
this city of the Southern Methodist Episco-
pal publishing house, had some scratches
on his hands, caused by his efforts to extri-
cate himself from the overturned sleeping
car The jackson train that came in yes
terday afternoon brought the passengers
| of the wrecked train, and some of the
coaches bore distant resemblance to the
hospital cars going to the rear after battle.
The citizens and the physicians of Water
Valley were very kind to the injured pas
| sengers, and extended to them every atten.
ton possible to relieve their sufferings.
| This accident delayed the through trains
and in consequence Of this delay the Jack
| son Railroad train due here yesterday morn
ing at eleven o'clock, did not arrive till
| about half-past four

IMMIGRANT Convention.

The Governors of the Northwestern States
have called convention at Indianapolis on
the twenty instant, to provide for the
protection Of immigrants arriving at the
Atlantic Outports and subjected to much
imposition by sharpers. One OF the most
important objects Of this convention will be
to devise "cheap, safe and comfortable
Transportation from the Atlantic coast to
the West" The call is addressed to all the
large cities ON the Atlantic coast, together
with the boards of trade and immigrant So
cieties.
We can not tell whether this call will ex-
clude the cities Of the Gulf States and their
boards of trade and immigrant societies.
We should think the Northwest is so deeply
interested in the cheap, safe and comforta-
Bile transportation of immigrants that it can
not overlook the Mississippi route, which
will not only carry an immigrant from Bre-
men to Fort Benton with but one tranship-
ment, but at less cost, and with more COM
fort in the winter season than any other.
We have very expensive Bureau OF lmni-
grafton.
The very active superintendent has writ
ten and travelled great deal to publish the
attraction of Louisiana to the European
world. Thus far, there has been little re-
turn in comparison with the expenditure
and efforts. Our German fel0w-citizens
have also organized, at their own expense,
an immigrant association for the humane
purpose Of providing for their wayfaring
countrymen. Their last report shows q
commendable attention to this noble
charity.
Certainly since the Northwest is concerned
to secure as many ways of importation as
possible, and since Louisiana has done so
much to encourage this object, no mere
technicality in the call will exclude our
delegates. We ask the attention of the
Governor Of Louisiana, the Superintendent
of immigration and Of the officers of the
German Immigrant Association, and would
recommend that they send delegates who
win report ON their return the best means
wealth, numbers and enterprise which are
flowing from the Old World to the New
Ncso Orleans Price Current.

WASHINGTON, November 2l.-The argu-

interfere in any any way with the present
elected incumbent in the exercise OF the
duties pertaining to his Office. There is no
une1pircd term here; it is a new term, just
commenced, and with which Schwab has
nothing to do. If thought for a moment
that there was doubt as to the legality

this court, as in the case Of his unexpired
term under the decision of the Supreme
Court, should, as did before, recuse my
self and decline to act in the matter; and,
besides, no attempt has been made to show
this court that the decree Of the Supreme
Court has ever been executed by the Dis
trict Court, or that Schwab is put in pos
session of the office of sheriff.
The court, therefore, refuses to entertain
the motion and protest Of the attorney fol
Schwab, orally enunciated before this court

Supreme Court Decisions
This court met yesterday; present: John
T. Ludeling, Chief Justice, and Associate
Justices J. G. Taliaferro, K. X. Howell and
w. w. Howe. The following decisions
were rendered.
Montgomery Brothers l. Co., appellants,
VS.. Edward 6tapleton, appellee-.Appeal
from the Sixth District Court of New Or
leans-Howe, j. Judgment affirmed.
Succession Of Catherine Carlile Pollock,
widow Of Benjamin Read-Appeal from the

Howe j. Appeal dismissed.
Jacob Hawkins VS.. B. Wiel and J. Madi-
son Wells.-Appeal from the Sixth District
Court of New Orleans.-Taliafero,J Judg-
ment affirmed and damages given in the
sum of $3.50 for frivilous appeal.
Allen Hill vs.. A. A. Levy, Abraham Croy,
intervenor.-Appeal from the Third Dis
trict Court of New Orleans. Taliafero, J.
Appeal dismissed at appellants costs.
Edward Thompson va. William Culinam.-::
New Orleans.-HOwell. j. Judgment
reversed and judgment for defendant, with
costs in both courts.
State ex rel. A. and II. Bernard vs: the
Clerk of the Sixth District Court Of New
Orleans-T -Taliaferro, 1.-THE petition of re-
lators set forth that judgment having
been rendered against them as defendants
in suit instituted in the Sixth District
Court of New Orleans, by E. 7. Parker,
they took suspensive appeal and filed q
bond in compliance with law. The trans
cript was made out, and the clerk refused
to deliver it unless they first paid the costs
thereof, thus dcpriving the REALTORS OF the
right to prosecute their appeal.
In ans wer to the rule served upon him,
the defendant proceeds to state the practice
OF the clerks of all the courts to look to
parties who order copies for any purpose
for the costs Of such cases.
We are referred to no law which authorizes
clerks of district courts to claim the costs
of transcripts of appeal in advance from
defendants who appeal from judgments
rendered against them. The law ON the
subject of clerks fees has reference to the
party filing the suit. The rule on the clerk
to send up the record without prepayment
of costs was made absolute.
The same decision was made In four other
cases.
the Sixth Judicial District, parish of Tangi-
pahoa.-The relator complains that he has
been refused the right Of appeal, and the
case comes up on a rule to show cause why
the appeal should not be granted. The rule
was made absolute.
Contest for the Ohace Of Sheriff:
Yesterday, the attorneys of Thomas l..
Maxwell, who was q candidate at the late
election for the Office of Civil Sheriff of the
parish of Orleans, in opposition to Z. 5.
Sauvinet, who has been declared by the
board of returning officers to have been
duly elected, made an application to Judge
Dibble for an Injunction restraining Sauvi-
net from entering upon the duties of the
Office. Judge Dibble refused the injunction,
but granted rulo ntSi, returnable this
morning at ten o'clock.
