cused of robbery, eleven jurors were en-

LAW CoURT.-The case of R. II. Man

SUPREME COURT.-One section Of this
court is engaged on the Marshall equity
docket. The argument in the Ward &
Briggs case was concluded yesterday, and
that of the Smiley and Glenn case, involving
the question of the Davidson county judge
ship, was taken up, Maj. John c. Thomp-
son making the opening speech iu behalf Of
Judge Glenn. To-day is opinion day with
the court. Humphreys county docket
will be taken up after disposing of the Smi-
ley Glenn case. The probability that but
little, if any, business will be done upon the

on brief whilst all, whenever they can do
so under this rule, are availing themselves
of the special docket, which is to be called

Railroad Accident-The Cars Play
Lean Frog.

As the Northwestern passenger train, due
here at A. NJ. yesterday, approached bridge
No. Z over Harpeth river, it was thrown
from the track by broken rail, and the
baggage, smoking and ladies cars turned
over an embankment. When the three
cars were thrown from the track, the en-
gineer seeing the danger ahead, reversed
the engine. By this time the sleeping coach
which having broken loose from the three
other coaches that tumbled down the en-
bankment, as if playing leap frog with each
other, passed over the broken rail and keep
ing on the track struck the engine. The en-
gineer who attempted to look out to see
what was going on, was knocked from his
place and rolled down the embanknent
like beer barrel, crying out to the fireman,
who was also ditched, to stand firm, As
the sleeping car struck the engine it caused
the throttle valve to be reversed fully, and
the engine, having shifted its engineer and
fireman, commenced moving backward at a
rapid rate, showing the sleeping car with it.
a gentleman present says it looked as if it
were going at the rate Of forty miles an
hour, and was stopped by the trucks Of the
coach running off the track, lodging the
coach in a pile of bridge timbers. Although
the ladies' coach and smoking car
with the baggage car turned over three
times in falling down the embanknent,
none Of the passengers were seriously in
jured. Mr.. Bowman, of the City Transfer
Line, came in contact with the stove in the
smoking car, and received bruise on the
thigh and a slight burn in the right hand,
besides having a pair Of new pants burned
and torn. A special train was sent out from
here upon the arrival of the engine, and
brought the passengers in by Il o'clock.
The track is now clear and trains running
on time.

The E.ua Life Insurance Company of
New York yesterday paid into the State
Treasury its tax Of $3.50, and $50 as COM
mission on the business done by the COM
pany in this State. This is l per cent COM
mission on the gross earnings of the COM
pany, but as no full report has been receiv-
ed either from East or West Tennessee, 1t is
impossible 20 ascertain the amount of bust
ness done, and consequently the amount of
money this company is annually taking out
of our State, for by thelaws of New Y ork no
insurance company chartered in that State
is allowed to invest or lend its money in
another State. The legislature of our
State might, like the legislature of nlinois,
pass law forbidding foreign companies,
chartered under such provision from doing
business in Tennessee. The Comptroller
has notified all insurance companies, home
and foreign doing business in this State to
come and pay their tax or suffer the penal
ties of the law.

themselves of the privilege extended by an
act Of the Legislature of distributing pre-
miums and prizes, which they decide shall
take place daily during the Spring Fair of
this year-22d, 23d, Path and 25th of May.
We are assured that it will be the grand
est distribution that has ever taken place in
this State, and under the auspices of com
missiOners who have the confidence Of the
public in the highest degree.
As this distribution will be fairly and
honestly conducted, twill be rare chance
for the poor and needy to better their con-
dition.
Tickets will be sold at rates within the
reach of all.
IT WILL BE A BIG THING.
1t will certainly prove most attractive
feature Of the spring fair.
The exact plan of distribution has not
been matured as yet, but when perfecte
the public will be advised. We can urge upon
all to save their money for this distribution.
Each will have a fair chance and no prose-
cutiOn for it is authorized by act of the
Legislature.

was very large, yet there was not the least
disturbance Of any kind in Brownsville.

Edmund Lee, colored, was hung here
last Friday by the sheriff in accordance
with the sentence Of the Circuit Court of
Haywood for the murder of Elias E. King.
The statement that the Ku-Klux had any

ed negroes or any one else on the train is
an unmitigated falsehoOd. No disturbance
of any kind has occurred.
