savere Accident.

The Knoxville IChronicIe, Feb. 20, says:
Daniel Donohue, an employee at the
Knoxville Iron Works, met with q painful
accident yesterday morning while passing
under pully going 240 revolutions to the
minute. A bolt struck him on the right
side "a Of tn the head, inflicting
two severe cuts. The wheel
had circumference Of feet and was run :
ming at speed Of 81 miles to the hour
while the bolt which struck his head was
about half inch thick and was slightly
cracked. Upon striking the mans head
the bolt broke and was thrown with such
a velocity as to make an impression upon
piece OF iron which 1t happened to strike,
about fifteen feet from the wheel. In
ninety-nine cases out Of one hundred il
would have proved . fatal blow. At last
accounts Mr.. Donohue was doing as well
as could possibly be expected under the
circumstances. u. ~ ..Is,-

Great Eastern Hensgerie, Clrcus and
Egyptian Caravan.

This colossal aggregation Of all that
makes up grand and select arena and
geological entertainment will visit us soon
with its twelve tents and glittering street
procession. The press of the West and
South were last year unanimous in their
praises of this popular combination. Since
then it has been augmented to immense
proportions, and is now claimed to be the
greatest and grandest Consolidation of
menagerie, museum, aviary, aquarium, hip
podrome and caravan on the road. So
numerous have been its additions since last
year that it has doubled its number of tents
10 twelve, which of itself is incontroYert-
ible evidence of its magni ude.
In the Great Eastern Menagerie will be
found forty one dens of living wild animals,
breathing sea monsters, flesh. eating reptiles
and beautiful tropie birds. These are Of
numberless variety, from every cline and
land, embracing rare specimens of the do
nestle kinds as well as foreign. This will
be rare opportunity for those who love
natural history to improve themselves, and
we opine such another chance to obtain
legitimate and correct instruction will not
soon again occur.
any one who reads the list of names
comprising the circus part of the entertain
ment will be convinced of the superiority
and excellence of the performances. 1t has
not been our good fortune to see so many
Justly noted celebrities together on any FORM
er occasion. That the Great Eastern, like the
other of cable notoriety, is the grsndest and
biggest thing of its kind there seems to be
no doubt. There are to be three perform
snces-morning, afternoon and nigh, and
the day is March 7. After our duh, cold
winter there is little need of urging our
paople to attend.

h4 NIGHT SESSION.
Pursuant to adjournment, the Board met
at u P. NJ.
The motion Of Col. Hunt coming up to
reconsider the resolution appointing com
mittee TO memorializa the legislature, Sen
atcr White opposed its reconsideration.
Col. Hunt believed the resolution should
be reconsidered. He was opposed to ask
ing the Legislature for any appropriation.
Judge Vandyke was in favor of the reso-
luton. He believed the work Of prepara-
ton for this grand undertaking should 90 on
and that a small appropriation should be
made at once by the Legislature. Capt.
Stocked took the some view Of Che PROPOSE
ton. He thought the Legislature should
be petitioDed for assistance. Gov. Brown
thought an application to the Legislature at
this time for an appropriation would be pre-
mature. He thought private contributions
would be sufficient for present incidental
expenses. Col Stephens claimed that the
enterprise was the friend of the working
man, of the agricuIturist, Of the mechanic,
and that the Legislature would not refuse
tie necessary appropriation.
Senator White thought it the duty Of the
Board to ask for such sum as might be
deemed necessary. The movement was a
national one, for the public good, and an
appropriation by the Legislature was emf
nently proper. The motion to reconsider
was rejected. . .ra-.rE ae &. |
On motion of Col. Stephens, Col. Kille-
brew, Col. Colyar, Capt. Stoekell and Prof.

The hop at the Maxwell House last night
by the cadets of the University of Nash
vile, was one of the most brilliant occa.
sions of its kind ever enjoyed in this city
More than three hundred ladies and gen.
tlemen were present and the entertainment
was radiant with smiling youth and beauty
The tOiIetteS were generally quite appro-
pirate, and exquisite. Many ladies were
present from Reighboring cities, and we
have never seen faireF collection of human
roses at any ball. The scene vas one
of joyous mirth and most enchanting
loneliness, the bright eyes, varied co,ors and
graceful forms constituting a tout ensemble
Of no ordinary character. The evening was
truly delightful to the participants, around
whose hearts will long be the wild flower
wreath of feeling aud 10 whose memory will
gleam the love beam of beauty. The ca
dets deserve much credit for The elegant
manner in which the hop was conducted,
and have the appreciative thanks of their
many friends

ABOUT three o'clock one morning last
week saloon-keeper in San Francisco was
startled by man walking through the ss-
loon from the street to the back yard. He
Immediately followed him, but on reach
ing the yard the man was nowhere to be
seen. Soon sfterward tramp was heard
on the roof Of an adjoining building, and
looking up the stranger was seen pacing
to and fro in military style. The roof was
slippery and dangerous, and not knowing
whether the man was drunk or insane,
feared to call him lest he should fall. The
barkeeper accordingly summoned a police
man, but during that time the man had
changed his position and was nowhere to
be seen. After getting upon the roof they
succeeded in finding him seated upon the
roof near the side of the buildings with
his legs hanging down, and he fast asleep.
He says he Is addicted to walking in his
sleep, and that he has no remembrance Of
the dangerous performance in which he
took such a prominent part. e

The Line OF March Tor the Procession.
Last night the Mardi Gras Association
mt in the City Hall which was crowded
with interested spe tators. Toe various
committees made their reports showing ia
vorable progress both in the number that
will participate and the amount of money
subscribed. An Executive Committee was
appointed to arrange the programme for

We understand that at least sixteen hum

nifcent and grotesque. 1t would pay well
for sone one to make costumes and rent
them for Msrdi Gras, as the demand will
be very great.

The question how far the prior right

which the old company had over the new,

it may give advantage to the old

Accidental Death.

The Greeneville Sentigel and Reporter,
Feb. 10, says: The passenger train going
east this morning brought to Knoxville the
body of man by the name of Bridge
May, which was founl lying on the
RAILROAD track near Lenoir's Station. The
unfortunate man lived at Telford's Station,
about nineteen miles above this place,
and was employed as brakeman on the
freight train. He was on the freight which
preceded the passenger train, and it is sup
posed fell from the top of a box car and was
instantly killed. 1t is not probable that any
part of the train passed over him, as in that
case bis body must have been dreadfully
mangled. The only wound noticed
on the body was a large cut on
the side of the head, which was
evidently caused by his head striking the
sharp edge of rail or tie in the fall. Had
it not been definitely known that he was
on the freight train, the condition OF the
body and The cut on the head might have
given rise to the opinion that foul play had
been used. We suppose the body was LEFT
at Knoxville for the purpose of holding an
inquest over it. .hr-st z7cd ,a'fA N.'-' I.
