SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A student AccidentIy Shot by his Room.


A student by the name of Erwin, from
Columbia, having been in the city yester-
day, purchased Derringer pistol, which
he took to his room at the University. Az
ter supper he and his room. mate, young
man by the name of II. w. Gray, of Trous-
dale county, were together in their ROOM
when young Erwin produced his Derrin-
ger, and handling it in rather a careless
manner, the weapon exploded in his hands,
the ball striking young Gray in the breast,
and glancing, lodged in his abdomen
Gray was standing rather sideways to
young Erwin, which caused the glancing
of the bail. DIR. NJ. l.. Rodgers was i'm
mediately called in 10y Lieut.. Thornburgh,
the Commandant of the Cadets, and after
an examination of the young man, pro.
nounced it not necessarily fatal wound.
DIR. Ludlow was also called in and gave a
thorough examination, and also gave it as
his opinion, that the wound though seri-
Gus was not necessarily fatal,
1t is strictly against the laws of the Uni.
versity for a student to possess fire arms or
to bring any on College Hill, and it is to
be desired that this may prove warning
lesson to all young men who are inclined
TO this nefarious practice

place of worship, to say the least of it, is
small and inconvenient, and in bad wath-
er, is almost inaccessible by reasons of the
mud. The present membership is about
100 communicates, with flattering promis-
es of good increase duringing this con-
ference year. ..
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
In the summer of 1865, Rev. J. +. Spence
organized Sabbath School in East Knox
vile, with 100 scholars. This school con-
tinued in prosperous condition until af-
ter Rev. Mr.. Hocket ceased to labor with
it, when, for some cause or other, ii gradu-
ally lost in interest, and finally was dis
continued The North Knoxville Sabbath
School was in successful operation during
Rev. Mr.. Colemans pastorship. But after
wards this too lost in interest and for
awhile ceased to operate.
We are, however, glad to be able to state
that both of these schools-in EAST and
North KnoXville--are now again in sue
cessful operation and are doing great good.
This is an evidence of the spirituality of
the church. For n church to claim to be
n live, active church and have no Sabbath
School is in our opinion grave error.
The idea of people being filled with the
spirit of the Master without making an
attempt to bring the lambs of the fold to
q knowledge and love of that same Master,
Christianity. We may err in our opinion
regarding this, but so far we have not
been convinced to the contrary. We trust
that these schools will never again he al
lowed to cease in their operations on ac-
count of q lack of interest on the part OF
the members of the church, but may they
continue to grow in numbers and interest,
and be the means of accomplishing great
good in bringing young souls to the Savior.
PRAYER MEETING.
Owing 10 the present place of worship
being also used for school purposes, and,
therefore, not always very clean on
Wednesday night, the prayer meetings
are held regularly every week from house
to house, and much good is being accom-
plished. Taking into consideration the
disadvantages under which the ministers
had to labor In that part of the city. the
present condition is encouraging; and We
! trust that the success of the past may fill
with renewed zeal the breast of every
member of this charge and great victory
over the powers of darkness be the ulti'
mate result

Importnnt Discoxery -.

We are informed that DR.. Breaker has
invented q CRATE for burning bituminous
coal which is far superior to any in use
The CRATE itself does not differ very ma
terially from these now used, the advant-

8. Economy in COAL
DIR. Breaker has the CRATE in use, and
assures us that it is impossible to get smoke
or ashes into the room from it, even with
the wind blowing in at an open door. 1t
is particularly adopted to chimneys con-
structed for burning wood. Such "a CRATE
will certainly meet with favor. The Doc
tor has applied for a patent.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY.
Man Goes 10 sleep ON the Railroad Track
and is Killed by n Passing Twain.
MhIsky ono Cnnse of thc Aceiden,.


On Friday night distressing accident
occurred near Chatata resulting in the
death of II man named Turner, wagon
maker, residing near thta place. Turner
had been to Ooltawah on business and was
returning home, but at Cleveland stopped
over until the arrival of the freight train,
when he asked the engineer if he could
ride. The engineer replied that hc could
If he got n ticket. Turner pulle
five cents out of his pocket and said he
would pay that, but would get no ticket
The engineer, not wishing to waste time
with drunken man, stepped in the Office
and bought ticket for him to Chatata.
The train soon after left and on arriving at
Chatata, Turner got off and started to walk
home, which was on the railroad about q
mile distant, and was cautioned to keep off
the track, as another freight train would
pass in short time.
Turner, however, was in no condition TO
pay any attention to the warning, and
laid down with bis shoulders resting be
tween the cross-ties and his head on the
rail, the rest of his body being outside of
the track. In a little while the freight
train came along at its usual deliberate
speed, but Turner was not yet quite over
come by his rotations, and had sufficient
presence of mind to get out of the way
but so narrow was the escape that the en-
gineer told the circumstance to several
not knowing the catastrophe that occurred
n short time afterward.
The unfortunate man, unniindfui OF the
risk he had run, lay down once more and
never again awakened in life. The pas
senger train passing within little while,
the pilot of the engine struck him Oil Til
back of the head, the conclusion throwing
his head aside, so that the wheels did not
| pass over it. But when the train had
! passed, his head was found resting on the
rail in the same manner in which it was
when struck the neck was not broken
and it must have been done by inyolun-
| tary muscular action, as he made no strug-
gle after the Mortified passengers reached
! him when the train was stopped.
| No wound was visible, except one on the
back of his head, through which the
! brain was Oozing. He was breathing
when placed on the train, but died before
reaching Chatata. On arriving at that
station and learning who the man was
ran the train back opposite his residence,
when the corpse was taken in. Mrs. Tur
ner was aroused from sleep, and having
no intimation of the horrible accident was
so overcome with grief that she tainted
outright.
Turner was Il young man and a good
workman, but was addicted to drinking
at intervals. A pint bottle of whisky was
in his pocket and quart in his satchel
when he was killed. He leaves a wife
and two little children.
Thus another is added to the long list OF
the victims of intemperance. saul hath
slain his thousands and David his tens o.
thousands but Alcohol has slain mil
lions, and is engaged in the murderous
work to this day.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
A Man Jumps from ~ Wagon and has Hi,
Leg Broken.

Yesterday afterday afternoon Mr.. J. c.
McCrary, of Maynardville, Union county,
met with an accident near the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad de-
pot, which resulted in fracturing one of the
bones of his left leg below the knee. II
company with another man he had come
over in wagon for the purpose of doing
some trading, and was on his way to the
warehouse of Messrs. Hough & Co. for the
purpose of procuring quantity of grain
sacks, when, going down the slope between
the ponds, the horses took fright and be-
gan kicking and plunging, and started in
a run down the street. When they had
passed the lamp post opposite the Railroad
Saloon, McCTary and his friend leaped
from the wagon, the latter escaping TN
hurt, but the former gentleman was not so
fortunate, the front wheel passing over one
of his legs and breaking it midway be-
tween the knee and ankle.
Mr.. McCrary was taken into Hough g.
Co. IS and thence removed to Mr.. Yergins
boarding house, above Graney's saloon,
where he was placed on bed and Mr.. M
l.. Ross notified of the accident, who at
once went down and sent for surgical aid.
The fracture was set by DIR. NJ. l.. Rodgers
and the sufferer taken to the residence of
Mr.. Johnson, on CroZier street, near the
brick mill. ....f ........
In addition to breaking his leg, Nc
Crazy narrowly escaped having his neck
broken, the reins having by some means
became twisted around his neck, but be-
fore he was dragged very far the horses
were caught by Nell. ThuSlp son, who was
fortunately close at hand. McCrary's
cheek also suffered from a too violent con
tact with the rocks, but in view of all the
circumstances he is fortunate in escaping
as lightly as he did, though his injury is q
painful one and will probably lay him up
for SOn1a time

Drowned.

Through a private letter from Norris
town, we learn that young man by the
name of Hugh Nicholson was drowned in
the Holston river near that place. 1t APP
pears that he was crossing. the river in "a
yawl, and the river being very high, the
yawl dpt water. He being only about
ten feet from the bank, Mr. Nicholson
concluded that by jumping out he
could reach bottom and wade out with
out endangering his life; But he was sad
ly mistaken as to the depth of the river
at that point and he sank beneath the
waves. His endeavors to reach the shore
or boat again were in vain, as he was un-
able to swim, and he soon sank to rise no
more. He is said to have been very
good citizen, and a christian, and is doubt
less now enjoying perfect peace. The
river is too high to make any attempt to
recover his body.

OUR FRIENDS AT WORK.
The Chronicle in Tennessee and Through.
out the Union.

For the past few weeks the friends of
the CHRONICLE have made some effort to
increase its circulation, and the result has
been most gratifying and, we may truth
fully say, surprising.
Mr.. Elmendorf, at lockwood, has sent
us one hundred and Seven subscribers, and
now informs us that he has already large
number on his third club of fifty.
Mr.. S. S. Hunt, of New Middleton, sent
us a handsome club Saturday, and writes
81 have been working in good earnest to
give the CHRoNICLE further and general
circulation in our locality, for | am salts
fled that it is the best journal published in
Tennessee"
John Meader, of Fincastle, Campbell
county, sent us club yesterday, and says
the paper is gaining friends every day.
Mr.. NJ. q. Wright, of Madisonville, Ten
nessee, forwarded us good club on the
Sth inst, and says he expects to increase it
still more.
Mr.. Il. NJ. Wynn, of Pigeon Forge, I'M
der date of the 9Th inst, sends as club to
the WEEKLY CHRONICLE, as does Ed
mund Bell, of Morristown.
To all these friends we return our thanks
A little effort in every county will soon
give us list larger than any weekly in
| the State. We are now printing regularly
as large an edition as we printed during
the campaign and our prospects are most
encouraging. The people write US that
they want to support the CHRONICLE be-
cause of its efforts to build up East Ten
nessee by bringing capital and more popu-
| lation.
| Our list of subscribers in the North is
rapidly increasing. We had in yesterday 3
mail over n dozen letters from as many
| different States. Every mail brings us
new subscribers and inquiries about East
Tennessee. The terrible cold winter of
the North has forced many to look South>
ward for milder climate This is the
| spirit of the letters we get: 1--WE want a
milder climate We can not stand these
| terrible cold winters. The mercury down
to 2s and so degrees below zero is too much
| for us.n
| We can get thousands of these people
here this spring if we act sensibly. Let
US sell off at reasonable prices our idle and
half worked farms and we will soon feel a
new life-blood leaping through our veins.
