Railroad Accident.

The Louisville and Nashville freight
train, which leaves this city at 10 o'clock A.
NJ, ran off the track two miles South OF
Madison station at II O'Clock yesterday
morning, and the locomotive together with
fourteen cars were wrecked.
"A gang Of section hands were at work repair
ing the track at the place where the accident
occurred, and had one Of the rails up. The
section BOSS neglected to give the signal to
the engineer, and the sinGsh-up was the
consequence. There was on the train a
young man named George De Lee, who was
going to Gallatin. He is an engineer on
one of the night freight trains that run over
the road, and has lost his father, mother
and two bro.hars since the 1st of May, be-
ing but about IS years cid. He was riding
on the locomotive with the engineer, and
was almost instantly killed.
The engineer, whose name has not been
learned, had bis leg broken near the ankle
and the fireman was badly bruised by Jump
ing from the train.
There was but little freight in the cars
and most of them were entirely empty
The Louisville train which is due here at
O'Clock p. NJ. did not arrive until 7:15 il
consequence of the disaster. Had the sec
ton boss been at his post the sad affail
would never have happened, and upon his
shoulders rests all the blar1e.
Justice Cassetty, coroner &c Oftci0, held
an inquest over the body Of De Lee, anC
the jury rendered q verdict in accordance
! with the above facts.

The Grand Contra, Hotel.

From the published description it would
seem that the Grand Central Hotel Of New
York is the model institution of the world
of its kind. for under one roof appears to
be combined all the requirements essential
TO the comfort, enjoyment and luxury Of a
thousand guests. Situated in the heart OF
Broadway; convenient to theatres and bust
ness; with rooms and attendants that are
the perfection of good taste; with every
floor protected by it's own hose and pipe;
elevators that carry one from basement to
dome, thus ecoDomizing time and muscle;
great parlors, corridors and vestibules, in
which congregate ladies and gentlemen
from every section of the country; billiard
rooms, telegraph Offices, baths, newspaper
depots, postoffices and furnishing stores,
etc. The Grand Central Hotel not only
represents little world of its own, but is
as pleasant home as the sojourner can
frd in the Metropolis, aid that, too, with
scarcely greater expense than if he were
living in his own household.

The Andes Iusnrance Comnanx.

There was less excitement yesterday at
No. 163 Broadway, the premises now oc-
cupied by the Andes Insurance Company,
and fewer policies were handed in for can
celment. Although there have been no
further developments, this very fact has APP
parently had a reassuring effect, and there
seems to be disposition on the part of the
main body Of policy-holders TO hold on to
their policies. The cancelling of the poll
cies, as far as it has gone, has been to the
advantage of the company. The payment
back of the unexpired premiums being
made short rate instead Of pro rata, the
liabilities of the company are diminished
in the same proportion. Those who intend
to hold their policies do so under the i'm
preston that beyond taking good many
heavy risks the company's course has not
been unwise, and there are assets enough
to meet ali liabilities.-N. y. World, Sept

A Can Of Oil Takes Fire from q Ian.
tern and Buggy.is Burned.
Thursday night Morris Brsdt accomp-
auied by a friend named HUMPHREYS, who
had lighted lantern, got into buggy al
Chattanooga and started home. The Ian
tern being accidentally upset the flames
from its wick communicated with can of
oil, that was also in the buggy and immedi-
ately the flames from the fluid spread over
the buggy and hissed about the pedal ex-
tremities and midships Of the gentlemen
who bull froged from the vehicle in quick
time. Tie strange spectacle soon congre-
gated one hundred or more persons, none
of whom seemed to know how to quench
the deyouring flames now enveloping the
vehicle, the main part of which was soon
consumed. The horse was unhitched and
the buggy being turned over the can fell
out, but too late to avert the loss.

A Card from Mr.. Malone.

To the Editor of the Union and American:
PULASKI, Tenn, Sept. &c, 1S72.-YoU
copy an article in your paper of Sept. %,
from the Lewisburg Gazette, which does
me great injustice, aud beg the favor Of a
brief space in your journal to correct it.
We are agents for the Republican Banner
at Pulaski, and as such gratuitously distrib-
uted about one hundred copies of the
weekly issue of said paper at the Lewisburg
Fair. l had not read the paper at all. l
knew nothing Of its contents. We are also
agents for the UNION AND AMERICAN, and
under similar circumstances would have
taken pleasure in distributing your paper.
imagine Col. Prosser, Postmaster at
Nashville, had nothing whatever to do with
said transaction, but that they vera fur
nished by Col. Roberts, Of that office. l
am no partisan, and wish to have nothing
to do with politics, as heretofore.
VIII the Lewisburg Gazette have the
fairness to publish this note as a matter of
simple justice? Respectfully,

The Horse and His Rider

The Horse and His Rider.-It was a
happy day for horse and his rider when the
Mustang Liniment was introduced as a
cure for the external diseases and injuries
of both. In the stable, the barn and the
household this wonderful emollient is equal
ly useful. If horse is spawned, or fOun-
dered, or harness-galled, or afflicted with
any other Of the many superficial ills that
equine flesh is beir 10, the Liniment effects
speedy cure, and it is equally efficacious
when applied to draught oxen or cows suf-
fering from outward swellings, strains or
hurts of any description. As an application
for bruises, cuts, burns, rheumatism, stiff
joints, sprains, neuralgia, esrache and
tootbache, it takes precedence for all other
topical remedies, and is therefore an article
of prime necessity in families.

Homicide Fayetae County

A few days AGO man named Nunley be
came intoxicated at La Grange, Fayette
county, and had difficulty with 20 ung
gentleman named Billy Walls, whom be
threatened to kill. Near sunset Nunley
left town and Walls was advised to be on
the lookout as the drunken man bad
secreted himself near the road where he
would travel about a mile from town.
When Walls, who lives just across the
Tennessee line in Mississippi, had gone
about mile he met Nunley, whom he shot
and killed in self defence as he claims.
After being shot Nunley lived long enough
to make his statement relative to the cir.
cumstaDces of the homicide, though We
have not heard what they were.
