East tennessee Agricultural sociely

This Society, we are gratifed to state, is estab-
lished on Il firm basis and has done much toward
revving and encouraging am interest in those
things that tend the real prosperity of our sec
ton. Among the gentlemen who have exerted
themselves in establishing the Society and max
ingthe fairs successful, as they have been be-
yond precedent, none have been exceeded by
the ndifatigabe Secretary, Rev. c. w. Charl-
ton, to whose untiring effort, is in great part
to be attributed the establishment of the So
ciety in the first place and its subsequent pros
perity.
But the cause of agriculture, manufacturing
and stock raising is yet in its infancy and the
Society has an important work before it. The
present Board of Directors are aware of the re-
sponsibility resting upon them and have set out
to manage the details without the cumbersome
machinery and red tape generally considered in
dispensible in new enterprise, and with the
experience Of the past and bright prospects
awaiting in the future, the East Tennessee Agri-
cultural Society cannot fail to make new era
in the growth of those material interests which
build up State or a community.

lDIsrnEssING AccIDENr.
Horrible death 81 Thomas DoyIe.

II becomes our painful daty TO record another
irightiul railroad accident, which seem to be in
scparablo from that calling. in which Thomas
Doyle. n brakeman on the Knoxville aud Ken
lucky Railroad was the victim. The accident
occurred Mt Copper Ridge, between HciskelIs
and Powell Stations and is sickening in its de-
tails IL seems that the train consisted chiefly
of fat cars loaded with wood. and in passing
from one car to another, Mr.. Doyle fell between
them, and was caught by the brake beam and
dragged considerable distance over the cross
tics, without touching the rails before the train
could be checked When taken from under
the car the unfortunate man was in dying con-
diton, both arms were broken, several of his
ribs and the breast bone crushed and his whole
body dreadfully mangled and crushed II is
even said that his neck was broken and both
his legs but of this we are not positive.
a brother of the wounded man was on the
train ut the time and his grief was ptiable to
sec. Tho most casual glance was sufficient TO
show that Mr. Doylc's injuries were beyond the
power of surgical skill, and he was taken to a
house close by until the arrival ofanother train,
when he was removed to Heiskel Station
The victim ofthis disaster was young man
about twenty-five years of age and unmarried.
llo had formerly been employed rs bra kcsman
on the freight or gravel train and only run

UGLY DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IA.
UGLY DEMOCRATS.
The democrats were unusually ugly in the
house this morning over the motion to print ex-
ira copies OF the report of the commissionerIof
education; but, after severe contest, they were
beaten.
GEN. sCHENCK's DISTRICT.
The committee on elections took no action
this morning upon the application from Gen.
Schenck's old district for time to investigate the
alleged frauds in the town of Hamilton, but post
poned it till Monday, to enable Mr. Campbell,
the sitting member from that district, to be
present He returned home on Thursday, and
has been telegraped to return.
ADJOURNMENT.
There is no hope of an adjournment before
Wednesday next. 1t is hoped that the kuklux
bill and the deficiency bill will be sent to COM
mittees of conference tomorrow, but it is
hardly probable. If they both pass by Tuesday,
it will be good luck. The house will not agree
to the kuklux bill as it passed the senate to-
night, and will demand modification. At
least such is the general opinion this evening.
FOOLISH BOYS PLAY.
Half dozen of the pages OF the senate having
heard much of late about the kuklux klans, un.
dertook late last night to get up a similar
demonstration in the basement of the capitol
Procuring a rope, they disguised themselves,
seized young colored boy who was attending
cake stand, and began to put the rope around
his neck, telling him they were kukluX and they
intended to hang him. The victim was really
scared and shouted Justify for help, bringing
policeman to the rescue, whose appearance
frightened the young scamps away. To-day
they have been found out, and four of the ring
leaders were dismissed.
HARMONY.
There was an interesting scene in the senate,
this morning, when Senator Howe apologized TO
Senator Sumner for words uttered by him in the
San Domingo debate. 1t was handsomely done,
and those who know Mr.. Howe intimately say
that it was done on his own motion, and with
out consultation with any of his friends. There
is an evident disposition to harmony among re-
publicans. Senators who have spoken very
bitter things of Carl Schurz, recently, are prais
ing him to-day for his speech, last night, before
local German republican political meeting, in
which he declared himself republican, and adj
vised the Germans present to vote for Chapman,
the republican candidate for congress from our
new territory. SAM WELLER.
