Engineer and Brakemen Injured and
Train Damaged.

As the eastward bound noon train on July 4th
was near Concord nearly opposite the farm OF
Ihos. Boyd it met with II serious accident.
Running under full speed n COW suddenly
jumped onto the track from lane running over
the track and before the engineer Charley Har-
vey could control his engine and check the
train, the COW was drawn under the engine.
As the locomotive struck the COW, the latter
was drawn under the wheels and threw the en-
CINE from the track. The engineer stuck man
fully to his post, but while reversing his engine
his suspender caught in the reverse lever. While
trying to relieve himself from this trap. no was
thrown from his balance by the jumping of the
engine, and got his right leg caught between
the engine and tender, breaking and bruising it.
In falling out he struck his shoulder and bruis-
cd it severely. The tender was thrown across
class passenger coach were telescoped. All
very badly smashed One of the brakemen
badly smashed. Another brakeman Jim
Crowley, was injured internally.
The Westward bound train teft here on time
and on reaching the wreck word was sent back
to Knoxville for the wrecking car and aid. An
engine was at once dispatched to the scene and
everything possible was done to relieve the in
jured and dH bring the passengers to Knoxville,
At l:30 A. NJ. yesterday the train reached this
city with the injured and the passengers. The
latter were accommodate at the Atkn House.
Drs Boyd ~ Bailey attended to the wounds of
the former. Yesterday they amputated one of
the legs of Dan. Russell, and at last accounts
he was doing well Mr.. Harvey is suffering
considerably but is doing very we'll
WANTED HIS HORNS.
There is most always an amusing side to such
accidents and this has its. The COW that was
killed belonged to II cOlored man, who was of
course, more concerned about it than about
the wounded men. Wandering about looking
for the horns Of 'critter' he jumped into the
car where Harvey, the engineer, was lying in
great distress, and very anXiOusly enquired if
ANY one knew where his COW was-hC Wanted
the horns The honest simplicity of the Eor-
ried man and his anxiety about the horns
brought laughter even from the suffering

by the letting off of numerous rockets, pin

The Fourth at Fountain Head.

EprToRs CHRONICLE; The Irishman who in
sisted that st. Patrick's Day was better man
than the Fourth of July ever was, ought to
have been at Fountain Head on Thursday last.
His opinion might have undergone n change, if
he could have witnessed the enjoyment of the
out from the city on that day. There were
about thirty persons in the party, and n hap
pier merricr set could not be gotten together.
True, some of the young folks were not SO rery
young, but this is no fault of theirs, old time
having added years and months and days with
out their consent and almost without their
knowledge.
The dinner prepared by the young ladies OF
the party, was good enough for any time or
place.

Remarkable Freak of Light
81. .-.s. ming

A very remarkable event occurred on
the farm of Mr.. Uriah GartiR, six miles
eastofLebanon, observation-disclosures.
A negro man was driving a team, con
sisting of two horses and two mules, at
tached to IL wagon, the driver being up
on one of the horses, with a sheepskin
under him. A rain was coming up, and
he was driving in a trOt to escape the
threatened storm. A negro boy was on
the wagon. When within afew hundred
yards of the barn the team was struck
by lightning. Three of the animals
were instantly killed, and the fourth
died within an hour or two. The negro
man was thrown off, considerably shocked
but not seriously hurt. He says his head
felt like it was a fire, but he does not
think he was rendered insensible. The
boy on the wagon, seeing the wagon had
stopped, looked up, and observing that
the horses were killed, made. as good
time as he could for the house, badly
frightened. The escape of the driver,
under the circumstances, is certainly
very remarkable. The team killed was
a fine one, worth about $600.-[Lebanon

A Jubilee for the Married.


ACalifornia court hasjust decided that
no marriage performed over tIreemiles
from shore is legal, and this decision is
said to have fallen like d bombshelp'
among scores of families in that State.
People not living in California natu-
rally ask why such a decision was made,
and also why it should fab like a bomb
shell among any families whatever.
The reasons for the decision, and also
for its startling effects, are to be found
in the fact that clipping and romantic
couples i'll California have been in the
habit OF going out to sea to he married.
A domestic difficulty, involving ques-
tons of property having arisen i'll the
courts, the counsel for one of the par
ties raised the point Of law that, as the
jurisdiction of the State extends but
three miles from the shore, the powers
of clergymen and justices become va
Gated when they go beyond that line j;
and consequently, that all couples whose
marriage ceremonies were performed
beyond the jurisdictional line, are in
fact not married at all. The court sus-
tanned this point, and hence the con-
sternation in sc many families. 1t
is stated that there was a good deal of
re-marrying, as sOOnas this decision be-
came known. But the greatest dis
may is said to exist among those who
felt themselves secure in relations
which the other party, in the light of
experience, will not likely seek to re-
new now that they are declared null.
Many wives and many husbands have
suddenly grown very tender and low
ing toward partners of whom they have
been rather %neglectful for years. And
the sudden awakening Of old and slum-
bering loves by the danger of losing
their objects, has suggested to Observ-
crs the query whether it would not
be advantageous and advisable to have,
at certain regular intervals, a grand
year of Jubilee for married people at
| which the ''bond could go free.D Goethe
the great German poet and Philosopher,
thought that marrying for periods Of
five years would be good for the reason
that it would have the effect to make
each partner to II marriage contract
sOlicitous to treat the other so that they
will desire to continue it for another
five years while those who were enter.
ing unhappy could have a chance Of es-
cape, and would only sink five years OF
their lives in misery instead of theil
whole lives, as now If they happned to
make a mistake in those days in which
their hearts and heads were green.
