TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACcIDNET.
seYen Persons Burned to Death and Thirty

| The Tuesday morning Northern bound
| Express train on the Mississippi and Ten
nessee Railroad met with terrible acci-

car snapped and threw it across the track,
breaking a rail, which tore through from
end to end the first passenger car, crowded
with about 90 passengers. This car was
thrown down an embankment feet, when
the Avalanche SAYS the stoves were thrown
down, and in a very few minutes the
CAR WAS on FIRE,
and the flames burst forth. Conductor
Kirby, who was standing In the vicinity OF
the stove at the time, was pitched forward
on to it, and was burned about the face and
legs. He, however, retained his presence
of mind, and was among the first to get
out at one of the windows. He then set te'
work with VIII to rescue the others, and
his efforts to do so were almost herculean.
Among those whom hefirst got out, was Mr..
White, of the omnibus line, who was
frightfully burned. The flesh on his face
was terribly scorched, and
ONE OF HIS EYES BURNED OUT OF THE
SOCKET,
while his hands were burned almost to q
crisp, so that both had to be amputated by
DR.. Rogers last evening. Mr.. Ecles was
also badly burned, but is likely to recover
The passengers who had escaped with
slight injuries did all in their power to
rescue the poor cOlored people, and over
fifty were rescued from the burning car,
which was in the short space of five min
utes one mass of flames. The shrieks of
those who were in this

were literally heart-rending, and those
who witnessed the horrible scene will not
forget it to the last day of their lives. The
light woodwork of the car was soon all
ablaze, and over half dozen colOred per-
sons, young and old, male and female, per-
ished in the flames. Strong men were 10

CHILDREN WERE TRAMPLED UXDER FOOT,
and in two INSTANCES persisted beside their
parents, who would not forsake their off
spring. In fifteen minutes there was hard

posed to view. The top of the stove had

the appearance as If he had been

ed beyond all power of Identification. The
sight was horrible one, and the fptid
smell of burning flesh made all recoil with
horror from the scene. Still they gazed at
the poor unfortunate beings as the flames
efveloped them and burned into their
very vitals and then turned away again.
AS soon as possible relief was dispatched
from Memphis and the sufferers were
promptly cared for.
Six persons were burned to death and
about thirty burned or bruised-two seri-

Col. NJ. F. Johnson has been reelected as
the presiding officer. Monroe Is fine,

marble, roofing slate, iron ores, and az fine
water power as there is in the State. She
has large facilities for stock raising and
manufacturing, as we'll as for the culture
of the grape upon her vine-clad hills. But
this can only be done by the encourage
ment of immigration, with a reasonable
system Of protection to home industries,
which has given to Prussia her power of
concentration and encouragement of en-
terprises. Monroe has good and commo-
dious county buildings, erected 10y tax

REAL ESTATE VALUES IN VIRGINIA.
Ii is stated by some of the newspapers in
the Old Dominion that very large por-
uon OF the landowners in Virginia ex-
press willingness to sell their estates at
any price, the burden of taxation and the
inefficiency of the labor system prevailing
there being more than they can bear.
Within few weeks the best lands in the
State have deprecated twenty per cent. in
saleahle value. The Richmond Dispatch
says: ut is simply an impossibility for
the Virginia people to bear all the demands
for payment of debt and taxes that are ac-
cumulating against them. The wolf is at

The death of Prim casts gloom over the
reception of the young Kingof Spain, who
will realize in the loss of his most ardent
supporter some of the dangers and difficult
ties that await himself. The immediate
effect of the assassination, probably, will
be to turn the current of popular opinion
against the cause, which will be associated
in mems minds wi h the act itself. The
sympathies ofthe Spanish people are repub-
lican, but they have no sympathy with
murderers, and the fact adroitly used may
be made profitable to the royalist cause.
