was mainly division quarrel among the leaders OF
the Republican party, in which many OF the Federal
officials were prominent actors, upon one side and
some upon the other. The leaders Of the Democratic
party also participated in it, sometimes in alliance with
one faction and sometimes with the other interest OF
consideration Of duty require. The part taken
by the Federal officials in the quarrel whether wise or
unwse seems to have originated entirely with them
selves There was Of interference by the Adj

The Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States was the first company
practically TO apply the Tontine principle to
Life Assurance, and in doing so it not only
met with unqualified success, but seemed
at once to have accomplished something
exactly adapted to the wants of the COM
munity. This company has just taken one
step further, and, as will be seen in detail,
in our advertising column, has introduced
form Of Life Policy, which combines all the
advantages to be attained either from an
ordinary life assurance or from endowment
to which is added the advantages offered by
a savings bank upon a safer and much
more profitable basis. This new plan is
entitled "The TOntine Savings Fund As
surance," and, if carefully examined, will,
we think, prove to be unusually attractive.

RAILWAY ACU1pENT.
one Man KILLED and Three Injured.
A Terrible Death.

At about $50 p. NJ. on Friday last col
lision between a construction and freight
train occurred on the Nashville and North
western Railroad, mile and half west of
Burns Station. The construction train,
consisting of a locomotive under the man
agement of Charles johnson. an experienced
engineer, seven fat cars and three cabooses,
had started from White Bluff with sixteen
men to distribute iron between that point
and Dickson. The passenger train bound
west tagged the train to Dickson. The
freight train, consisting of heavy loco
motive, nine cars and a caboOse, had left
Hickman the same day, and was out of
schedule time when the accident occurred.
Both trains were proceeding at an
average rate of speed, and had ap-
preached to within about three car
lengths of each other, before the danger
was perceived. The fireman of the con-
struction train, and the engineer Of the
freight train jumped off. The engineer of
the construction train endeayored to reverse
his engine, but evidently did not succeed in
doing so in time. The locomotive was a
small one, and when the shock occurred, it
mounted fairly on top of the freight engine.
The boiler was forced into the tank by the
collision, and the unfortunate engineers
legs were caught above the knees in the
terrible trap. The accident occurred on a
curve where the embank1nent was between
seven and nine feet high. The engineer of
the freight train in jumping off chose the
outside Of the curve where the distance to
the ground was least. He lost
his balance in the fall,
and before he could rise
to his feet, he was covered with the wreck
of his train, but luckily was not danger
oUsly hurt. The fireman who remained on
the freight engine miraculously escaped
with slight bruise on his back. The fire.
man Of the construction train, who jumped
off in time, escaped with even slighter in
juries. Every effort was made by Johnson's
comrades to free him from his terrible DO
sition, but without avail. The service of a
doctor having been procured, it was decided
to cut the unfortunate mans legs off, as the
only chance of saving his life. He willingly
assented to the proposition, and endured
the operation with unfinching fortitude.
But nature sank under the fearful pain,
and he died before the second limb was
severed from the wreck. His remains were
conveyed to a neighboring house and kept
there till the arrival of the morning train,
when they were taken to his residence in |
this city.
johnson was a widower, and leaves
three children. The accident of Friday |
night was not the only one by which he |
suffered. About eleven years ago he was
injured by an accident on ehe Baltimore |
and Harrisburg railroad. One of his legs |
was at that time amputated below the knee, |
and since then till the day of his death, he |
had to wear a cork leg.
