SeriOus Accident.

A gentleman named j. B. Noble, OF
Houston, Texas, who is in town visiting
the family of Mr.. Charles Downs, walked
with some friends to the capitol, between
0 and 10 O'Clock last evening, and while
standing on the portico talking, it being
quite dark, he missed his footing and fell to
the pavement below, a distance of about
twelve feet. He struck on the side of his
head and his shoulder, and it was thought
he was killed. Immediately he was con-
veyed to the Office Of DR.. Joseph Maddin,
on Vine street, where his injuries were care
fully attended to. He. was insensible for
upward of an hour; the doctor examined
him in the meantime, ard discovered that
be had sustained fracture OF the collar
bone, and probably internal injuries which
have not yet been discovered. His face
and head were badly bruised and cut up,
and two of bis teeth knocked out. 1t is
thought that if the shock and internal iDju-
ries are not too severe, he will recover,
though the doctor says that it was very
narrow escape from instant death.

This popularity of disposition in his wife is
no secret among his associates, and one Of
them meeting him the other day, asked;

WHAT FOUR NASHVILLE YOUTHS
KNOW ABOUT BUGGY DRIVING.
The Vehicles Turn Over and Their
Occupants Turn Out

HE E6falCt0S HuEn ONCE Hn6
Occupants Turn Out
Ere the sunbeam had melted the dew
drop from Sundays auroral cheek four
young men, two in each buggy, started for
Franklin where they arrived in due time
to attend church, after which they dined
pleasantly with some friends and
then made afternoon calls" on divers
lady acquaintances, the number receiving
this social testimonial from such distin-
guished visitors, being near about dozen.
After tea the young men drove into the
country to see their real sweet-hearts, by
whom they were agreeably entertained un.
til midnight's holy hour, which in the Ian
guage OF a celebrated wrier, being "a
time for memory and for tears"
warned them to say goodnight,
which they did. When the lights in the
window were cleaning half mile distant,
the foremost buggy tumbled upside down
into an unseen ditch and threw the young
men out. This frightened the horse to the
other buggy and caused the animal to run
away, turning the vehicle over and
spllling the occupants headforemost
into mud hole, to the great
amazement and disturbance of divers green
frogs haoiiing there. The injuries received
are sprained ankles, bruised hip-bones and
battered spinal chords. One young man had
his arm caught under the vehicle and pam
fully sprained. Of the four only one es-
capped injury. 1t is better TO travel a hun
bred miles on a train to see "her," than
to drive young and fiery steeds short dis.

ruined clothes result. Take our advice
and experience. They arrived at daylight
