Passenger Train D1fcneo Ou the
the Louisville, Nashville and Great
Southern RaIIway-NObOdy serious.
~ Injured
The South bound passenger train on the
Louisville, Nashville and Great Southern
Railroad was thrown from the track at a
point sixty-five miles south of Louisville,
and half mile north Of Bacon creek, at
O'Clock yesterday morning, in consequence
of culvert having been washed out by
heavy rain which had been falling for an
hour or so.
The engine and baggage car passed over
all right, but the two passenger coaches
and the sleeping car were thrown of, the
latter turning completely over. "A number
of passengers were slightly bruised, but no
one was seriously injured. The
train should have reached Nashville
at five o'clock, but did not get
here until noon yesterday.
Among the passengers were Messrs. Il.
o. Winstead, w. E. Winstead, John d.
Wheeler, of Wheeler, Marshall & Bruce,
Ed. o. Parsons, DrIW. p. Daka, George j.
Goodrich and wife, and Geo. Deschamps,
Of this city; Asa Faulkner, of McAlinnville;
Jas. G.. Clark. o. New Orleans; Z. O.. RO-
gers, Augusta, Ca; w. w. r. Clements
and wife, MuseOgee City, Ala; Mrs. Ste
phens, Of Memphis, and Miss Ford, Of
Knoxville.
Conductor Bailey proved himself equal
to the emergency. Within an hour he had
sent all the passengers in the baggage car
to Bacon Creek station. After short de
lay there passenger coach was procured
and the party were sent TO Bowling Green,
where they all had breakfast furnished
them, at the expense of the road.
The following communication, with re-
ference To the accident will be read with
interest by the numerous friends Of Con-
ductOr Bailey:
To the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, Aug Z, 1SI4.-We YOU

ingly meritOrious conduct Of gallant gen

We were on board the South bound traiI

clIing the passengers and providing com
Portable place for them during the terrific
storm that was raging while his train was
living in the ditch. We think the Louis
Vile, Nashville and Great Southern Rail
road fortunate in having the services Of 50
gallant gentleman as Capt. Bailey, and

his kindness is only equaled by our admi'
ration Of his GOODNESS during danger.

Summer Society at Sans Creek
Springs.

To the Union and Americans:
This delightful summer resort, situated
twenty miles west Of Nashville, and five
miles from Kingston Springs, was pur-
chased by party Of twenty hunters sixty
years ago, and given to the public. Those
staunch old hunters have long since passed
away, but they will ever be remembered by
the hundreds who, from year to year, are
the recipients of their kindness. 1t is free
to all; and all, from the rich to the poor,
enjoy it.
Last year, when the dead were counted
by the hundred in Nashville, not a single
case of cholera made its appearance here,
although there were persons going TO and
from the city daily.
There are at present one hundred and
fifty or two hundred persons here. The
old Rigan house, which, in days of yore,
when the hills resOunded from base to sum-
NIT with the hunters horn, is now fast
falling TO decay. Mrs. c. and family
are occupying it. Further up stream We
have Mr.. s. and family. Mr.. s. is
Of the impression that he is in bad health;
hence we find him at the springs-weight
$50. This genial gentleman knows how 10
drive fox. Last year, with his splendid
pack Of thOrOughbreds, he captured eight
foxes and several deer, 'and yet he is not
happy"
The next in order is Mr.. C and
family. "Nothing too much" can be said
of these true TenneSseeans. Mr.. C
rode twenty miles to vote the straight
ticket Mrs. c., his lovely wife, is
conceded to be the best cOnveTsationalist at
the springs.
Old Uncle T. W, his good wife,
children. and grand children, are much
loved. Capt. H and family are also of
our number. His elegant daughter, Mrs.
c., charms every one. and especially
the many handsome young gentlemen who
are consi antly at her side anticipating her
every wish. Mr.. j. E and wife are in
diSpensible 10 the life Of society here.
The former is a consummaie wit and keeps
us all in fine spirits.
DIR. c., who knows every path within
forty miles square, is here with his family.
His hospitable wife, his elegant and accom-
pIished daughters, Misses c. and A. C,
Mrs. j., and her daughter Miss Il,
j., together with the Misses l.. and t.
B, who makes every one happy by then
affable manners and superior minds, con-
stitute the DIS. family. Mrs. s, the
best Of mothers, is here watching over her
children and grand children. She frequent
w contests Mrs. C-'s right to the "blue,
but in vain.
Now add to all this the staunch old
Union AND AMERICAN, which we receive
daily, and we ought certainly to be happy.

The fact that a near heir to the AbbOts-
ford mansion and the other property left
by Sir Walter Scott is I citizen Of the Uni
ted States has probably been forgotten by
most persons. if il ever was generally
known. The Philadelphia Press alludes
to il in noticing the coming marriage Of
Miss Hope Scott TO Mr.. Maxwell. 10 says:
Miss Hope Scott and her betrothed are
members Of the Church Of Rome.
If she had died unmarried, or if
she should die without leaving a
child. the AbbOtsfOrd estate and man
sion. to which she succeeded on her
mothers death, will pass to the eldest son
of the late Mai. Thomas Scott, elder
brother Of Sir Walter, who had finally set
tied in Canada, where he died in 1923.
His heir is understood 10 have made
home, years ago, either in Maine or Yer
mont, and must now be far advanced IN
years. II has been legally provided that
the husband of the Lady Of Abbotsford
shall take his wife's name. Therefore, she
will be known hereafter not as Mrs. Max
well, but as the Hon. Mrs. Hope Scott"
