SLEEPING CAR BURNED.
Collision ON the Selma, Rome aud Dalton
ROad-Two Passenger Killed.

Yesterday morning several of the passengers
on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad mot
with narrow escape from q terrible death.
The passengers, eight in number, were aboard
the sleeping car City of Memphis" in charge
of a conductor and porter, when, as the train
arrived at Stevenson, Mr.. D. f earle, who
was accompanied by his wife and two little chill
dren, discovered the terrible danger TO which
they were exposed and aroused the porter, who,
rs also the conductor, was asleep. The passen-
gers were then hurriedly aroused and escaped
| en- dishd6lte, and by the time they had all got
ten out the fire had spread rapidly that the
| flames were coming out of the front door. Hur>
| ried toilets were made, but SO fierce were the
flames that none could re-enter the car, and only
saved what they took out with them when first
awakened from their sleep.
In addition to Mr.. Carrie and his children
mentioned above, were Capt. Joseph Jaques
and his niece, Miss Sue Ayres and two gentle
men from Louisville. Mr.. 9. and children lost
IA portion of their clothing Capt Jaques was
more fortunate, preserving his presence of mind
and saved everything he had Miss Ayres lost
portion of her wearing apparel, and the gem
emen from Louisville were still more unfor'
tunate, losing several valuable articles they
were carrying to the State Fair at Coiumbea S
c., and one of them all his money, $l75, which
he placed under his pillow for safety and forgo
in his hurried flight.
As soon the passengers left the burning
car Capt. Jaques had it pulled up TO the tank
but there was no water, and finding that its loss
was inevitable the car was pushed out of the
way and left to its fate The cause of the fire is
unknown, but it originated at the rear end,
away from the stove There seems to have
been gross careles sness on the part Of the con
ductor and porter, who, instead of looking aite
the safety of the passengers, calmly slept Will
the car was burning.
A collision occurred at Oxford. on the Selma
Rome and Dalton Railroad, on Thursday night
between two passenger trains, resulting in tn
death of two persons. Oxford is the poin
where the trains pass but owing to some un
) known cause the train first arriving ran pas

has heard Mr.. Maynard fails to think
better of him and the party he represents.
He deserves and will receive the support
of every Republican, and of thousands
who have not been acting with the party.
From every county we hear that the party
vote will be largely increased. Let Re-

on Tuesday and his election is certain.
