a Man Run over by a Train.

THE ENGINEER ARREsTFD.-On Sunday
evening last, the North bound p sssnger
train on the Miss. Central Railroad ran
over an uHknOw man between the Grand
Junction and Hickory Valley, crashing his
body to atoms. Mr.. Robt. Echols was the
conductor snd Louis RelI. the engineer OF
the train. On Wednesday evening, Deputy
sheriff johnson, OF Hardemau county and
posse boarded the same train. No. /, ~

DO a COTOneTs Jury. Conductor Echols re-
sisted the arrest on the grounds thar the
mail train could and should rot be stopped
and that the arrest and detention Of Engin-
eer Hell would result in the delay Of the
United States mail. A compromise was
madeline officer taking charge OF Kell,
permitting the latter to run his train ihTo'
to Milan, guarded by said officer and his
posse. On Thursday morning Mr.. Kell
passed through this city in charge OF officer
johnson, en- route for Bolivar, where his
trial will take place. The facts as far as
we have been able 10 ascertain, are sub
stantIally as follows: Mr.. Kell did not sec
the man ruR over prior 10 the accident
The first intimation he had, was the signal
to stop. This signal was made on the bag
gage master seeing a human leg fly up be-
meath his ear. When the train stopped, an
unknown man was found fearfully mutt
lated and dead, with "bottie of whisky
on his person. Whether he threw him.
self ON the track, or fell from the car, is not
known. The tradgedy occurred on or near
4 curve in the road. Louis He'll is a sober,
upright man, highly esteemed by all who
know him, and one Of the very best en-
sineers on the Miss. Central Railroad,
which is saying a great deal. That he
could have been wilfully guilty OF such
crime; that any carelessness on his part
caused the tragedy-no one acquainted with
him can for a moment believe. Such deaths
as the one met 10y this unknown man are
common. The action Of the Hardeman
county jury is extraordinary, in fact I'M
precedented. Their course however, we
will not presume to eriticise, but we do as
sert and urge, that Louis Kel is too good
and true a man TO be guilty OF any such
crime, IS the one with which he is charged.
Here, where he is known, he can give
bond Of $1,000 # necessary. The Conn.,
pany he serves will not desert him. but will
spend thousands Of dollars rather than see
him the victim OF ignorance, or miscon.
strued dutI. But we hope and believe,
that he will be found guiltless on fair trail,
and hence will reserve further comments.

This severe weather has driven most Of
the street loafers and corner gossipers in
doors, and the sidewalks are no longer
bloekaded by them. Trade for the most
part is active, and our town, despite the
cutting winds and gusts Of snow, presents
lively business appearance. The mcr-
chant has trade and the demand for labor
is such that no mechanic need be idle.
Notwithstanding the depression in money
matters Messrs. Stone lG Mills, who sell
only for cash, are selling a great quantity
orgoods. Their stock was purchased with
care-they sell at the lowest cash figures,
and justly merit the large patronage they
receive.

JACKSON & BIRMINGHAM r.. r.
Engineers Report.


/ Col. j. j. Williams has made a careful
and exhaustive survey OF the Jackson Il
/ Birmingham Railroad from this city to
Pittsburg Landing, on the Tennessee Riv-
er. His report TO the Commissioners has
been submitted and published in pamphlet
! form, and will appear in the WING AND
| TRIBUNE next week in full. His estimate
OF the total cost of the road, fully prepared
/ for the iron, from jackson to ittsburg
is S5I4, S63 90, high estimate and one that
will fully cover the cost Of road bed,
bridges, trestle and erossties. The distance
from this city to Pittsburg is only IS
miles by the survey. The total estimated
subscription along the line is 100000.
Thus it will be seen that the prospect for
a speedy construction is most favorable.
If Henderson county will take hold OF
the enterprise; if she will contribute one
half of the amount sse proposes to sub
scribe to the NJ. & X. aud II. & r. Il. r.,
branch Of the same gauge will be extended
from the main line to Lexington, and pro-
badly to the Tennessee River through De-
catur county.
Among the advantages to be derived by
Jackson by the building of this great road,
we will mention: Is. A saving in the
price of coal annually of 10000. 2nd. 1t
VIII save our merchants thousands Of dol
lars annually ia freights on merchandise.
Sd. 1t will place Jackson on the great
trunk line from ST. Louis, Chicago and the
Northwest to the Southeastern sea coast.
4th. 1t will enable our citizens to secure
all kinds Of buitding material 10 or % per
cent cheaper than now. 9Th. 1t will put
jackson in direct communication with the
rich valley Of the Tennessee River, in South
Tennessee and North Alabama, and bring
to our market annually 10 ,OOO bales OF cot
ton, to say nothisg Of other products and
the minerals with which that section
abOunds. 9Th. IL will result in the estab-
lishment Of another extensive machine
shop here, which will employ two or three
hundred hands and add fifteen hundred or
TIVE thousand to our population. 9TH. 1t
will make jackson distributing
point for grain between the Northwest and
tn South and Southeast rs well as for cot
ton, and will cause the building up in our
midst or extensive manufacturing inter-
ests. No railroad ever suggested, offers so
many advantages 10 Jackson and the eOun-
try through which it is to pass. Weregard
it as the grandest enterprise OF the day
and one that cannot fall to elicit the active
support of capitalists, manufactures and
other great railroad lines.
The enterprise will be backed by st.
Louis and Chicago, by the Illinois Central
Railroad and the Southern Railroad Asso-
citation, aud already has encouraging PROM
ises from capitalists, both in this country
and Europe, some OF whom have invested
largely in the mineral lands Of Alabama.
As we have often urged, this road is the
leading hope of Jackson; with it our future
is assured. In future issues we propose to
discuss this enterprise more fully, and in
the meantime we urge our citizens to in
vestigate the subject aad prepare them
selves for intelligent action.
