passenger Train Wreclsed.

New ORLEANS, August 2S.-An acci.
cident occurred to south bound passen'
ger train on the New Orleans & Jackson
Railroad near Tugaloo, 8 miles south oi
here, at / o'clock this morning. A bridge
gave way, making complete wreck oi
the train, killing 4 and wounding 16 per.
sons, 5 or Q seriously. The heavy rains
yesterday and last night raised the creek
unusually high, and no doubt weakened
the foundation of the bridge. Some Of the
passengers lost their baggage.
Gen. Superintendent Frost telegraphs
the following in regard TO the railroad
accident near Jackson: An unprecedent-
ed heavy food fell last nightin the re-
gion 81 miles north Of Jackson, Mississip.
pi, by which 12 foot culyert was wash
ed out directly under the train; the en-.
gine, tender and mail car, passed oyer it,
and the baggage car smoking car and Ia.
dies coach went into the hole. The
sleeping car did mot get ffthe track. The
passengers hurt were in the smoking car
and ladies coach. .
The summary Of hurts is as follows:
One tramp stealing passage killed, two
passengers mortally wounded and ten
injured, but none mortally,
: The rain was slight on both sides Of
this valley in which the culvert was stu.
ated, and the storm seems to have con-
centrated all its fury on this central spot
"A special to the Bltetia says Willie
Brooks, Of Canton, Miss, and Alphonse
Yillanuye, of Canada, were killed.

That Democratic Judicial Con
yeutiOn Over at BnrneBville.

Monroe County Spirit d DemOcracyl
The most interesting details OF the
proceedings had at the Judicial .Conyen-
tion at Barnesville will hardly appear in
any official report. A few Of tho incl
dents may throw a. little light on the
final result.
Col. Charlesworth was the leader Of the
forces OF Judge Chambers, and the even
ing before the convention stated to the
writer hereof, who was looking after the
interests Of Mr.. Okey, that as Belmont
had been given the Craftsmanship OF the
last convention, Monroe was Justly en-
titled to It this time. Acting upon this,
when the convention assembled, Mr..
Spriggs proposed the name Of Hon. ]. K.
Morris Tor the Craftsmanship. There
upon the chairman Of the Belmont dele
CATION claimed that the time fixed for the
meeting not having arrived, the motion
was out OF order, and without taking his
seat proposed Mr.. Eaton, Of Belmont, as
chairman.
Votes were taken on both motions and
the result disputed. Both the candidates
for the craftsmanship took their seats on
the platform.
There was much speech.making, talk
ing and confusion, and two more votes
we're had with the same result. Then
there was more speech making, talking
and confusion. Then there was q vote
by townships, which showed majority
for Morris II both the contesting sets Of
delegates were allowed to vote, and, OF
course, the same result II neither set were
allowed TO vote. Chambers friends in
sisted that those which were favorable TO
him should be counted, and the others
rejected. This bit Of judicial fairness the
Monroe delegation failed to appreciate,
and declined the invitation to "walk into
my parlOr."
Then there was more spcech.making,
more loud talking and confusion. Then
the Belmont delegation asked and OBJ.
tained half an hour for consultation.
After nearly an hour had elapsed, Col.
Charlesworth and others came out OF u
little side room in watch Judge Cham.
bers was closeted, and demanded that the
Monroe delegation should agree to accept
without question list otdelegates which
be held in his hand, and which the Mon.
roe delegation had never seen. A dele.
gate from Monroe enquired II II was pro.
posed that the Monroe delegation should
vote in certain set Of delegates and vote
out q certain other set, without knowing
or enquiring which was bogus and which
was genuine. Receiving an affirmative
answer he replied that the response OF
Monroe was an emphatic No. fhereup.

RECEPTION OF THE REMAINS.

New Albany, August 2S.-The citi
zens Of this place have made extensive
arrangements for the reception Of Che
corpse Of Speaker Kerr which arrives
here ten o'clock tonight, when they will
be taken in charge by a committee Of the
Masonic and other civic bodies and re-
moved 10 the rotunda Of the Court House
which Is dtaped in mourning from
the dome to the ground floor, intertwined
with American flags, evergreens and
flowers, with the elegant catafalque i'm
lmediately under the dome. The remains
IFwill lie in state in this building until To-
morrow evening at 8 o'clock, when they
will be removed to the late residence OF
the Speaker, on Upper Main street, re-
naming there until Friday ut 3 P. NJ,
when hefuneral services will take place.
1t is expected that Governor Hendricks,
Senator Mcdonald, and other distin-
guished men OF this State and the State
Of Kentucky, will be present at the iu-
neral on Friday. The military staff at
the headquarters Of the Army Of the
South, at Louisville, have signifed their
intention to be present at the funeral,
and have been assigned a position in the
procession, The civic and military SO.
cieties have all signiied their intention Of
participating in the ceremonies. Gen
B. F. Scribner has been assigned the chief
marshalship for the occasion, and con.
stant applications are being>made to him
by societies for assignment in the line.
The Mayors OF Louisville and Jefferson
vile have invited all the military and
civic organizations OF these two cities to
Join in paying the last tribute Of respect
10 the distinguished statesman. No event
in the history OF this city has ever attrac-
ted so much attention, as Mr.. Kerr was
universally regarded with the highest re-
spect by the people. The Republicans
and Democrats alike have laid aside par
tisan feelings and Joined cordially in
efforts to divest the pageant Friday Of
every appearance Of partizanism, and If
there lis any difference the Republicans
are exerting themselves the most. Every
sentiment that would have the least ap.
pearunce Of partizanship has been laid
aside. The Republicans have withdrawn
an appointment for public meeting that
had been announced by their State Cen.
trail Committee to take place here to-mor-
row, so there shall not be the least indi-
cation of the party spirit which has been
increasing among the people recently.
The conduct OF the Republicans in this
particular is attracting the favorable
comment Of their opponents. h
