mouth to mouth with rapidity of fire un

of his death inside of an hour, and an
ineffable sadness pefvaded the hearts
of all who knew him. He spent the
most useful part of his life in this place,
until abont eight months ago he went
to Calvert, Texas, having had a good
offer there in dry goods house. In
his last letter to his brother here, he
seemed to be dissatisfied with the socie-
ty and customs of the country, and
stated that he would return to Tennessee
about the first of April, hence his broth

the past two weeks, until the shocking
news of his death was received. Charlie
was one of the most promising young
men Of our acquaintance. Industrious,
courteous and kind in his intercourse,
charitable and even tempered, with
sense of honor as lefty as the blue arch
thai bends above us and devotion to
friends and truth as deep as the sea, he
had endeared himself to many. But,
in the spring time OF life, in the prime
of his young manhood, he has paid the
inevitable penalty eff life, and is we'll

blow so cruelty, try to remember that
Gods tender hand is hidden within this

With this poor tribute TO his memery,

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects

This Order has now taken fast hold
in Tennessee, there being 1O3 Lodges in
this State, with a membership of about
800. The Order numbers 40, 900 in the
United States at present, and it is fair to
estimate, judging from past increases
that in one year, the membership in the
Order will fully reach 100000. The
main feature of the Order, and that
which makes it SO popular among the
masses, is the insurance feature incor-
porated int the Order. With small
outlay of not more than about one dol
lar month, any person who viii be ac-
cepted, can secure an insurance of
80 900 for the benefit of the family, thus
leaving them independent, and remov-
ing all care and anxiety from the poor
mans mind in regard to his family,
whenever lie shall be called upon to
travel to that long home, from whence
no traveller returns. It lis, therefore, to

The Grand Lodge of the above order
convened at Nashville on Wednesday,
the 10th instant, and il is fair to say that
| a better class of representative men can
hardly be found in any legislative body,
anywhere. Although the editor of this
paper is generally regarded as a shining
light, yet he is sorry to confess that the
majority were considered much hand
sOmer men. The body was presided
over by Major l.. A. Gratz, of Knox
vile, who displayed great amount of
executive ability. IN fact, Maj. Gratz
made very favorable impression, and
reflected credit on the East Tennessee

HORRfBLE DEATH NEAR
1IORRISTOWN ON
= THE Rail.
ThOs. Robinson Falls Asleep on
the Railroad and is Run
JQ Over by aTraip Of vi

The following particulars Of the sad
and terrible accident which occurred
near this place on the railroad last Tues
day night, are as accurate and correct
as can be given, and are taken from. the
Knoxville Tribune: 81
Another of those unfortunate railroad
accidents which we are occasionally
called upon to. chronicle occurred near
Morristown Tuesday night last, in which
Thomas Robinson, of Whitesburg, was
killed by passing freight train.
Robinson, with four companions
Messrs. Graham, Ray, Hughes and Cole
came dswn to .Morristewn, Tuesday,
to witness the exhibition of Hillard g
Eunting's circus, and after the conclu-
sion of the performance started to return
home to Whitesburg. Robinson and
perhaps his companions had been drink
ing rather freely during the evening, and
at the point where the accident occurred,
Ray and Robinson sat down on the track
to rest aud fell asleep, when freight train
No 6, which leaves this city at 7:45
F. m F, approached on time, but before
engineer Dunn could stop the engine,
the entire train of cars had passed over
the unfortunate man, killing him instant
ly and mangling the body most horri-
bly,.
Ray, who was alss asleep on the track
with Robinson, states that when awaken
ed by the noise of the engine he merely
had time to leap from the track and in
doing so attempted unsuccessfully, how
ever, to arouse his comrade, for the train
he thinks was within thirty feet of him
at the time.
After discovering that Robinson was
dead, Ray hurried on in pursuit of the
| other parties mentioned, (who, mean
time, had gone on before, and overtak-
ing them, returned to the fatal spot.
Knowing that the regular passenger train
was soon due at that place, Ray, with
torch in hand signalled down the same
as 1t approached and notified the con-
ductor of the accident. In doing so, he
fell through bridge of some Is or 20
feet in height, bruising himself up con.
siderably, but receiving no serious injur-
| les.
The accident occurred about two miles
east of Morristown, where the body re-
manned undisturbed until early Wednes
day morning, when jury was empan-
nelled by the coroner, an inquest held,
and the body of the unfortunate man
conveyed to his relatives.

Although it rained copiously for
while last Tuesday morning, making
disagreeable day, nevertheless quite a
number gathered to witness the per-
formances of Hillard s. Hunting's Pa
cific show. The show did not make as
grand display as was anticipated by
some, but the performance under the
canvass compared well with larger
shows we have seen. We are mortified
to say, in this connection, that we have
never before, during our whole resi-
dence in Morristown, seen so many
drunken men, so many ill-fame women
and so much disgraceful conduct, as
was displayed here last Tuesday. It
was not only disgrace to the town, but
20 the whole county. We hope that
our town authorities will keep more
rigid vigilance and protection over the
dignity and respeetability of the town
hereafter.
