THE QUESTION OF PURE WATER solved
school Visitor Election.

The vote cast yesterday for one
school visitor in each ward of the city,
except the sixth, and two from that,
was light, not more than one-third of
the usual ballot strength being brought
out. 1t was also a spiritless affair, aside
from a little stir that wa made in the
fifth ward, in an effort to defeat Ed
Shaw, colored, who, it is said, imbibed
an earnest desire to get into the school
board, hoping to DO able to influence
the turning out Of a certain school
teacher or teachers, against whom, he
entertains uncordial sentiments. The
Hon. Edward won the fight by so
majority, beating Mr., A. +. Davis, the
painter, Who vas not brought out
unsll nearly noon, and not then with
his own consent. In the First ward
f. ). Bannon was chosen over H. C.
AshbroOk by l46 to 2. In the Second.
d. Degnan, the painter, beat D. f.
Goodyear, the vote being III to 62.
In the Third ward, j. r. Boyle was
elected by 1877, to Ga for John Beam
ish and l for James Elder. In the
Fifth ward Ed, Shaw received 1872
votes and Mr.. A.. f. Davis 1O2. In

HIS LAST TRIP.
Terrible Death of a Brakeman at
MasOn's Depot.
Mason Call. jar. II

Mason Call. Jan. IL
The most horrible scene it has been
our misfortune to witness for many q
long day was the killing of j. D.
Murphy, a brakeman on the upward
bound freight train of the Louisville
and Nashville road Tuesday morning
about a hundred yards above the hotel
1t seems that the train was in motion
and Murphy attempted to uncouple
two cars, when his foot slipped and he
fell on the track, the cars running
over him and severing his head from
his body. The train dragged him
several yards before doing the terrible
work. A large crowd had assembled
at the spot when our reporter arrived,
and the scene presented was too
CHASTITY for description. Blood, brains
and bones lay scattered in every d.
reetion.
The unfortunate nan had only been
in the employ of the company two OF
three days, and but little was known
about him. A letter was found on his
person dated Turkey river, Iowa,
signed by Mrs. Sarah Smith. 1t spoke
of his relatives at that place, which
leads to the belief that it was his
home. Mr.. Coleman Immediately tel.
egraphed to the superintendent at
Bowling Green, who gave directions
to have the body decently buried. The
remains were taken a short distanc
below Braien and laid away.
The first man killed by the railroad
near this place was "0ld Strap" a
negro shoemaker belonging to Mr.. j.
H. McCraw. He started down the
road on his way home, and being
very deaf he did not hear the train
which overlook and killed him. The
next to share the same fate was q
negro belonging to Mr.. Alex. Field
named Henry. The third was a shoe.
maker by the name of 0'Brien, who
resided at this place. Fourth came 9
tramp whose name we could not learn
The fifth was Mrs. Sturdevant, who
was run over by a train at or neal
Keeling. Mr.. James Cockrill wa
killed at Galloway several years ago
The last to share this fate was Muir.
ply, the particulars of which we give

locality as one fated.

soutn since the close OF the civil war. There h
a popular IDEA prevailing In many OF these
stats 'ndt Inc shortest and easiest way to get

it. The common argument In favor of ttss snn-
mary manner OF dealing with Creditors Ia that
tne debts were fastened upon these states by
carpetoaggers' and aliens, and therefore the
eltHenS and taxpayers ought not to be ressDon-
Siole Ior them. This specouS plea has hIred

under the name OF readjusters, drew voters
enough from the democratic and republican par
ties to carry the state and it is said that In Ten
nessee no man who hopes for political preferment
dares to come out boldly against reputation
The desire of leading men to sail smoothly with
the popular current accounts, to very great
extent for the rapid growth Of reputation In
the south. There Is no question but that some
OF those states have heavy burdens, IN the
shape OF public debts TO carry, but these debts
were contracted In a legitimate manner and by
legal state governments The repudlatiOniStS
I'm Arkansas have become strong enough IN
take the field openly In favor OF their ',octrlne
and those who have the state~ Interests at
heart fear that It's own Cir <ens will strike its
prosperity blow froDo which IL cannot recover.
SENATOR GariaDd p-.lS written letter 10 his con-
stituents 10 "ihich he denounces reputation In
All It's Io.ms, and warns the people OF the state

employs an argument which applies with equal
force TO the repudiatonst's theories In the other

gally Issued ana therefore the people were not
hon0rably bound TO pay them. Senator Gar
land advises his constituents not to be deluded
nto voting for measure that will forever Stig-
Matte the state and destroy It's credit by any
such argument. He tells them that II the bonds
are illegal the courts Will give the people relief
from the payment thereof, and that relief OBJ
tanned In this manner will be IN keeping with
public honor and fairness; that there Is no need
TO repudiate an Illegal debt, because 1t Is void
by reason OF It's nlegality. The bold stand
against reputation taken by Senator Garland
may not only check its tide in Arkansas, but il
may lead other prominent men from. the south
