seemed TO be these: Mr.. Colburn has been
regular boarder st the city workhouse
from time immemorial, but it has been his
custom to leave that institution semi
periodically, and mingle with the outside
world for time, but these intervals have,
of late years, become "few and far b.

Wilson stepped on Colburn's toes, and laid
dOwnupon Colburn's bed, whereupon Club

halfchewed quid of tobacco to small

APPALLING ACCIDENT.
Squire Samuel Brown Davidson XIII
ed By q Railroad Train.


Our readers viii regret to learn that
Squire Samuel B. Davidson, Of this eotinty,
was 10 seriously il jared in attempting TO
cross the track of the Nashville and North
western road yesterday, iii front
of an approaching train, that be died
within an hour after the accident occurred.
This hesrt-rending accident occurred on the
Charlotte pike, near the Fair Grounds
Mr.. Davidson had been TO the c ty as Usual
and was on his way home when killed.
He was riding in his buggy to which was
attached favorite horse that be had been
driving for years. We have heard many
conflicting rutiors as to the immediate
cause of the accident, bat as tie
matter viii undergo investigation
by the Coroner, we Will not give publicity
to the opinions expressed. The Coroner
summoned a jury, and several witnesses
were examined, but the result of the exam
ination wi not be made public until satur-
day, as it is thought additional evidence will
be forthcoming by that time.
Ben Brown, cOl0red man, made a
statement ucder oath, in relation to the
matter, to the effect that he was on The
Charlotte Pike, near the intersection Of the
Nashville and Northwestern road, when he
met Mr.. Davidson driving along in buggy.
He told Mr.. Davidson that the train was
coming and that he Thought he could not
cross the track before the train got there.
Replying that he thought he could, he urged
his horse forward by 81 piping him with the
lines, and had got the horse and front wheels
of the buggy across, when the train struck
him. Brown, stated further, that he could
see the train distinctly, and COLD also hear
the bell ringing.
The buggy was torn to pieces, the HAD
legs of the horse broken, and Mr.. David
son was thrown violently back against the
fiat space behind the cow catcher, in
which position he was found when
the train was stopped. He was
badly bruised about the chest and also
shout the head. The train which ran over
bin was the one which leaves the depot of
the Northwestern road at 1920, and after
the accident, the engineer reversed his en-
CINE and brought Mr.. Davidson back to the
city with the hope that by meliell skill he
might be saved from death. Arriving at
the depot, Mr., d. was Immediately removed
to the residence of his son-in-law, Jasper
Taylor, where he soon after breathed his
last.
Esq. Davidson was among the Oldest cit
zens olthe county. He was born in Meek
lenburg county, N. c., in 1902, removed to
Sumner county in this State next year, and
came to this county in 1904, and settled
where he lately resided in the twelfth dis
trict, living in that neighborhood for per-
iod of 60 years. He was soldier under
Jackson in the Seminole war, and being one
Of the early settlers here, braVed tolls and
hardships peculiar to that period.
Upon hearing of this accident and his
subsequent death, the community at large
was greatly shocked. No man among us
was better known, and his social, genial
endeared him to all. We sYInpa-
thize With bis family in a bereavement so
sad. His funeral will take place from his
old home to-day.
