A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
One Man Killed and Two Others In
iured.

jured.
The Louisville COTier-JOlu7lGi, of yes
terday, chronicles the following accidents
on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Wednesday last:
The passenger train coming from Liv-
ingstOn to this city yesterday morning had
stopped at Lebanon about IL O'Clock. An
Irishman was standing in front of a bar
room near the depot, it is said, in an in
toxicated condition. The conductor had
cried sail aboard and after the train had
already started, the inebriated individual
endeavored TO get on the baggage car. \
brakeman named E. Boone shouted to him
to keep away, and endeavored to prevent
his attempt. As the man reached the step
he slipped and he dropped under the train.
Two cars passed over his body, seyering
both of his legs, MASKING his head, and
causing other injuries. He was carried into
the depot, where DR.. Mcclellan, United
States Surgeon, attended to his injuries.
He died from the effects three hours after
wards. On his person were found papers
indicating that his name was Martin Ma
han, and that he has a daughter living in
this city.
An accident occurred to a brakeman
named Solomon Lindsey, at BardstOwn
junction, about IL o'clock yesterday morn
ing on the train going out. Lindsey
poked his head out of the window as the
train was in motion, striking the back and
side of it against a pole near the track,
with terrible violence, iDjuring it very
severely, the effects of which may result
perhaps in loss of life. He was brought in
on the returning train in the afternoon,
and carried to his residence, on Seventh,
between Oak and Oldham streets, where
DR.. John Reilly was summoned to dress his
| wounds.
Late Yesterday afternoon, brakeman
named W. II. Dyer, on the train going out
was severely injured between Stanbeuy
and Randolph stations, about seven miles
from the city. He was on the point of
hanging out a red light, when he was
iolted out of the car and thrown violently
| TO the ground. The train at the time was
running at the rate of fifteen miles an
hour. Several bones in his left leg were
broken, and the ankle was severely in
iured. He was brought into the Rathbone
House, opposite the Nashville depot, last
night, where he was resting comfortable,
after being attended to by physicians.

Strange such a difference there should be
'twixt tweedle dun and tweedle dee. As
strange as it was, there is also a difference
in other things. A few nights ago, when
our dry house was on fire, the Fire Depart
ment did not throw one drop of water on
it, notwithstanding the fact that we were in
the corporation and taxpayers. They might
have taken water from the plugs on Fill
more street, or drawn it from the pond neaI
our mill. Perhaps the Chief had two rea.
sons for not doing so, one of which was We
were not insured and contributed nothing
to his extra 81 800 salary, or he was hold

brick will burn when lumber will not.

communication from sergeant Burke.

To the Union and American:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 10, 1S14.-I
notice in your issue of yesterday an article
headed A Strange Affair, in which You give
an account of young man being picked
up at the Capitol in an insensible condi-
ton and taken to the wOrkhouse, under the
superstition that he was drunk, and how he
could be taken for drunken man is a pro-
found mystery. As officer in charge at the
time, l beg leave to explain: He was
brought to the station house about . A. NJ,
in a hack. He was reported to be very
drunk and badly hurt. l went down to the
hack to see if could recognize him. Fail
ing to do so, and he being in a stupOr, my
only alternative was to send him to the
workhouse, knowing that it is the duty OF
those in charge of that institution to send
for the city physician in case of necessity
we have no place to send man, even in
the condition he was in, but to the work,
house, unless we know his home, and il
we did we would have willingly sent him
there. ID. L. BURKE,
