A Crane Breaks.
AND TUMBLEs A HEAVY BOILER TO TIN
GROUND.

GROUND.
The stout hoisting crane in the p, W.
d b. r. r. freight yard, Fourth ano
Pine streets, came 10 grief, yesterday AZ
tAnOon, in the most summary manner.
At the time of the accident the work
men were engaged in hoisting larUe
new boiler, weighing seven or eight
tons, which was being shipped by Meesp.
Hilles a. Jones, to point on the Phlla-
delphia & Reading Railroad. The boiI-
er was brought to the yard on Stout
team, and hoisted to the top Ofthe crane,
when the team was taken away. Than
a rope was attached to the suspended
boiler,and about dozen men pulled lus-
tily, so as to swing the arm Of tho cTsne
around until the boiler hung directly
over the track, when it was designed TO
run fiat car underneath and deposit the
boiler safely thereon. .s
Suddenly, while the men were pulling
their level best, an ominous cracking WaS
heard, and the crane began to shake
Then, with a tearing crash, the maii
post Of the crane split from the top, and
in an instant the arm and the suspended
boiler went tumbling and Gathering to
the ground. Fortunately, the men ct
The rope were at safe distance, and no
one was injured. The boiler was also
uninjured with the exception of one OF
riN OTIS being started, though the eumber-
some arm of the crane fell upon 1t with
heavy thump.
The cause of the accident was the
weak condition of the main post Of tho
crane. 1t was rotten and somewhat wa
ter-logged In the centre, though exter-
t.n1t = k.<. AuvrHup
II commenced to split at the top, where
the swing-bolt is inserted, and tore half
way to the ground, about one-third Of
the post going down with the general
wreck.
Though the weak condition Of this
crane was not suspected the company's
officials were preparing to erect q new
crane in another part of the yard, and
build new siding under it, in order. to
use this track for cars receiving heavy
frefghts, without obstructing the other
tracks in the vicinity. Work on the new
crane will now be hurried up. e

Those who propose to use coal the
coming winter would do well to pur-
chase their supplies from the Knoxville
Central Coal Company. The coal of
this company is purely bituminous and
makes less fine dust in handling than
any other quality. 1t throws out as
much heat, gives as good satisfaction
and is quite as economical for the CON
sumner as any other coal offered in the
market. Large quantities are being
shipped daily along the line of railway,
and we put this as q reminder to our
readers to order now from this reliable
company before the cold weather sets in
and cuts off their supplies on account Of
the inability of the company to meet
the demand. You cannot lay in your
coal too early, so negotiate with the
Knoxville Central Coal Company at
once and secure good coal at the lowest
rates. See advertisement elsewhere.

The preliminary trial of the Shipes
at Clinton few weeks ago, was conclu-
ded in Knoxville last week. The evil
dence against the parties was very strong
and conclusive. The argument in the
case was concluded Friday evening.
Saturday morning Judge Hall, before
whom the trial was heard, stated that he
had considered the whole case closely
and carefully reviewed it in his mind,
and that it was in many respects the
most remarkable case that had ever been
brought before him. He then proceed
ed in calm, deliberate and disposition
ate manner to briefly review the details
of the evidence and announce his decis-
ion, as follows: 'Taking all the evil
dence, my mind is satisfied that there
was no cessation, but that it was all one
act, and the parties present aiding and
abetting were equally guilty. The re-
suit is am of the opinion the parties are
not entitled to bail, consequently the
petition is dismissed, and the prisoners
must be held in Jail to answer at the
next Circuit Court for Anderson coun-
ty." Thereupon the prisoners, Messrs.
j. L. and Sam. Shipe and A. J. Queener,
were remanded to the custody Of Sheriff
Reeder, and recommitted to the Knox
county jail, where they will remain until
the meeting of the Circuit Court for
Anderson county, which is the first
week in November next.

HOMICIDE and SUICIDE.
A DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN KNOX
VILE.

WILLIE.
The Knoxville papers of the 9th con-
tain an account of a shocking double
tragedy which occurred there on the
night of the Goth. Mr.. Martin E.
Woody, a prominent contractor and
builder of brick work of that city, was
killed by Miss Annie Lowe, his para
mour, at a house south of the river. The
Chronicle gathers the following particu-
lars from the attending physician as re-
lated by the women
According to her statement, Mr..
Woody came to the house shortly before
o'clock, and a quarrel ensued between
them, the particulars of which we do
not care to relate, out of respect to the
bereaved family. But suffice it to say
that she got a revolver from her trunk
and shot him, as he was approaching
her. She says she don't know whether
she pulled the trigger, or whether it
went off in the scuffle She had told
him she would shoot him, however.
The muzzle was directly against his
body, and the ball took effect just to the
left of the navel. Mr.. Woody lived
only about thirty minutes.
After the Doctor arrived and the wo-
men realized what she had done she
went into another room where she shot
herself, the ball taking effect just be-
low the left breast, and when reached
by those who heard the report of the
pistol was laying on her face. She ling
cred in great suffering until about 6
o'clock Tuesday evening when she died
These further particulars are gather
ed from the Chronicles report ;e"Annie
Lowe was young woman 81 or over, |
perhaps, of rather attractive appearance. |
The story of her life is typically one of
''another unfortunate" She was of re-
spectacle connection, and came to this
city from Coal creek about two years
since, in search Of employment as a
but fell victim and met
the fate of many others of her sex. She
has been away from the city, but re-
turned about two weeks before the
tragedy, since which time she had resld-
ed in the house where the tragedy took
place"
Mr.. Woody was one of Knoxville's
prominent citizens and was a useful one.
He was a self-made man. He came up
from the humblest walks in life and ac
CURED considerable means through his
own exertions. But he chad his faults,
md what mortal has not ?'' He leaves a
wife and five or six children to mourn
lis lamentable death.

The Little Rock Gazette gives this sue
cinct account of the interruption of a
wedding ceremony, that recently wiped
out an entire family in that state: GA
few miles from Wittsburg, St Francis
county, Ark, lived widow named
Hammett. The woman was engaged in
farming, and, though she had two
grown sons, was compelled to employ
young man to superintend farm labors
Mrs. Hammett was about 40 years of
age. The laborer was mere boy, but
an attachment soon sprang up between
the widow and the youth, which ended
in a matrimonial proposal. The we'd
ding day was fixed. The two sons hear
ing of the matrimonial arrangements
that had been made between their moth
er and the stripping, called upon her,
and tried to dissuade her from marriage
The widow refused to accept her sons
counsel. The sons made threats, but
the widow affirmed that she loved the
young man, and would marry him at all
hazards. The sons went away, and at
the appointed time the young man ap
peared, attired for the wedding. The
minister came, and friends were assem-
bled. "Thou art man and wife" had
hardly been pronounced, when a flash
at the window, followed by loud re-
port, terrified the women and astonish-
ed the men. Another flash, another re-
port, and the newly made husband sank
to the floor, The widows younger son
was the murderer. He fed, but was
Next day the young husband
died, and shortly afterwards the widows
younger son, in attempting to escape, |
was shot and killed; and report says that
shortly afterward the elder brother went
to his mothers house and beat her brains
out with a club.
