Can't. M~assengale has made the follow
ing statement in regard to the collision be-
tween the Ada Heilman and Laura l.
Davis:
Il was on duty at the time of the acci-
dent. The Davis was in the right or inside
! of the stream, and the Heilman in the cur
rent a short distance behind her. We blew
twice to pass and the Davis replied. We
then crossed over to take the side we blew
for and were going ahead. As soon as we
Strengthened out and started up, the Davis
crossed over ahead Of us, and attempted {
cut us out Of the channel. We stopped our
engines, but too late TO prevent a collision.
As the Davis attempted to l~straighten out,
her wheel 1ianked down on our starboard
guard, tearing away about ten feet Of the
guard, and making a hole in the hull large
enough to haul a hogshead Of bacon
through, and cutting us down to within
two planks of the water. We Immediately
ran into shore for safety, and in doing 50
knocked both chimneys down by running
under some trees. We repaired the break
in the hull as well as possible. This took
us about four hours and we then returned
to Paducah, reaching there about three
o'clock Sunday morning. The Davis was
not seriously hurt, the only damage being
a wheel slightly broken. She took our
passengers and went on to Nashville. Our
damage will probably foot up $1,000.

A Remarkable Detection Of n Rob-
berry, and Arrest of the Robbers.

berry, and Arrest OF the
Friday night the premises of Y. K.
Griffin, who lives two miles and a half
from the city, were entered and a valuable
lot of harness carried off. Yesterday
morning a colored boy in the employ of
Mr.. Griffin was returning home after hay-
ing staid all night at the home of his moth
er, who lives near. the Rock City paper
mills, when he met q negro by the name
Cf Jesse Buchanan carrying two large sacks
on his shoulders. As he passed him he
noticed the tug to a set of harness prOtrud-
ing from one Of the sacks, and oberyed that
the end of thetug IVA cut in a peculiarman-
ner. and remembered seeing a brother-in-
law of Mr.. Griffin cut a tug in a similar
way the day before, and at once suspected
the negro Of being a thief. He turned and
followed Buchanan at a safe distance, saw
him enter his own mothers house, n in
a short time saw him come out without
his two sacks and walked rapidly away.
After Buchanan had gotten out of sight he
went into the house and his moth
er told him that Buchanan had
left the two sacks there, saying he would
| oeturn at eight o'clock and get them. Up
n examination he found the sacks filed
with harness and notified officers Ryman
and Scalley who concealed themselves near
the house and awaited Buchanan's return.
The latter came back about eight O'Clock
but, having his suspicious aroused did not
enter the house but started TO run and was
at once pursued by the officers. Finding
that he was gaining on them, officer Ryman
fired al him but missed him. Several per-
| sons Joined in the pursuit, among them a
Young man on horseback, and after a chase
| of half an hour the negro vas driven into
n bridge culveTt where the water was near
ly waist deep and was finally captured and
taken to the police station.
Nh. Griffin identified his harness and
| they were given up to him. In addition
10 that taken from Mr.. Griffin there was a
considerable quantity Of other harness
| found in the sacks. Buchanan was taken
before Justice Baskette, who committed
him to Jail. 1t is thought he has been con-
nected with the robbery of smoke houses
in the Ninth district which has been going
on for several months.

fixed on your watch.
The Memphis ArGiGnche stumbled on a
good thing the other day when it remarked:
s.Some N in Washington has discovered
that NJ. G. does not stand for mental cul-
tnn.. Recent votes in Congress show that
it stands for More Currency"
We are pleased TO note evidences oil pros
ner;tv in the Lebanon Herald, that paper
having been changed recently from apatent

nav be considered indicative OF solid pecu-
niary success. Meanwhile White continues
TO hunt up typographical and grammatical

the UNION AND AMERICAN free OF charge

yiciousness.
The following is a sample of the items

| Mahon. of the Vandalia railroad, went East
this A. NJ. on No. l. Robinson VIII ioiloW
| on No. 3, and Trindle on No. D this P. NJ"
II would be a difficult matter to occupy

| Robinson and TriRdle are railroad en-
p~loyees, whose duty it was TO go East at
the hours indicated, it is a matter which

wheat straw hats trimmed with cotton
