DEPOT DOTS.

The construction train loaded
400 bales of cotton at this station
yesterday.
The shipments of cotton from
Pulaski have so far reached about
1000 bales, against 5000 for the
same period last season.
Mr.. Green. the new president of
the L. q N. R. r., accompanied by
General Mansger Funiak, passed
over the road in a special train on
the 9Th inst. on their way south.
The lumber is all on the ground
for building new passenger
platform at the depot. 1t is to DO
twelve feet wide and will extend
from one wafer tank to the other.
In every way it will be great i'm
provement on the old one.
Mr.. ]. NJ. Culp, general freight
agent of the L. d. N. r. R., passed
through Pulaski on the south bound
train Friday last. Mr.. Culp is quite
young man, but he thoroughly
understands the transportation
business and is making an excellent
officer.
The receipts of cotton at the
depot last week were 491 bales, be-
ing much less than for the CORE
spending period last year. The
dirty weather this year is probably
responsible for the falling of. Two
hundred and twenty-four bales were
shipped Tuesday.
1t is probable that ere long the
L. d N. r. r. will have a line from
Cincinnati to Knoxville, and via
the East Tennessee d Virginia Air
Line to Chattanooga, thus giving
them a competing line with the Gin
cInnati Southern. 1t is TO be form
ed by combination of the Ken
lucky Central and the Louisville 81
Nashville's Richmond and Living.
ston branches. There will be but
little of the line to construct, but
that little will be expensive, as il
will run through the Cumberland
Mountains.
There is still great scarcity OF
cars, but the large number of new
ones now being received are helping
matters a good deal. The daily
statement of the Car Interchange
for the Sth inst showed that other
roads had over 500 cars belonging
to the Louisville d Nashville.
This explains the scarcity of rolling
stock here, and as the orders for
cars on the L. d N. lines only ag-
gregated $50 cars at that date, it
shows that there would be no
trouble if that road could only keep
its cars at home.

No place like Craig's for coffee.
Killed in Arkansas.

Mr.. John r. (Dick) Perry, who
was raised in Giles county, was shot
at Holly Grove, Arkansas, on the
1st inst, by hack-driver named
Stringer, and died from the effects
of the wound on the Friday follow
ing. Stringer, who is worthless
character, drove Mr.. Perry from
Helena to Holly Grove on the day
of the difficulty, and during the
journey ins6lted him grossly for in
slsting that he should drive faster.
Mr.. Perry resented this by grasping
whip and striking Stringer over
the head. The latter did not push
the matter further until they ar
rived at Holly Grove, where he for
tilted his courage with whisky, and
finding Mr.. Perry at the livery
stable shot him before he could de
fend himself. The deceased at one
time resided in Pulaski, where be
acted as salesman for j. H. Cannon
d Co. He was quite popular with
the young people here, and was
noted for his goodness of heart and
companionable ways. He was "a
years of age at the time of his
death, and had been living in Ar
kansas some time. He must have
stood high there, for the Helena
Yeoman, in leading editorial, pays
glowing tribute to his memory
He was a brother of Mrs. 10 Ken
nedy, of this county, who is greatly
distressed at his death.

FLYING HOOPS.
The Mad capers Of a Runaway
Team Last Tuesday.

Tuesday afternoon q pair oil
horses attached to a cotton wagon
which had just been unloaded, be
came frightened at passing tram
at the depot and ran away while the
driver was transacting some busl-
ness on the platform. They dashed
up Second street at break-neck
speed, threatening destruction to
everything in their way, and finally
collided with a wagon near the res
idence of Mr.. Lilies E. Alternately,
smashing it into fragments. The
occupants of the wagon thus demol'
ished, countryman and his child,
fortunately saw their danger in time
and leaped to the ground before the
collision occurred. Mrs. Charlie
Carter, who was out riding, made 8
narrow escape, the runaway wagon
grazing the wheels of her barouche
and frightening her no little. The
panic stricken horses did not CHECK
their speed until they reached the
summit of Fort Hill, where they
stopped from sheer exhaustion.

The Pulrit On the Election.

DR.. w. NJ. Leftwich preached a
sermon on popular elections last
Sunday night at the Methodist
church. His text was the Bible in
junction TO make your calling and
election sure" Alter an explana-
ton of the meaning of the text, he
took up the recent election and dis
cussrd its effects from the stand
point of christianity. He said il
the public prints were TO be be-
lieved, the whole country was de
moralized, and each side showed
that the other side was corrupt and
ought not 10 be trusted. Under the
stress of political excitement, men
of acknowledged probity uttered
falsehoods without compunctIon
and without seeming TO be aware
of 1t. Misrepresentation and exsg-

He went considerably into deia all
on these points, showing that he
is either a close reader OF newspa-

had been guilty of imprudeDce or

A CLOSE SHAVE.
How a Freight Train Passed Over a
Tramp, Crushing His Hand,
but Otherwise Leaving
Him Uninjured.

saturday last, while a freight
tran was passing near Wales Sta
It'd, the engineer saw man ahead,
sitting, as he thought, on the track.
SDposing, of course, that he
wdlld get out of the way in time
hedid not check the speed of the
erRlne, but when the train ap
ppached near enought to take in
Tie situation he was Mortified to
sc that the man had fallen in a
stock gap and appeared to be una
leto cxtricate himself. 1t was too
Iae to reverse the engine, and the
tain passed over him before its
seed could be checked. The
trim was stopped as soon as possl
biz and the engineer and brake
m,n repaired to the spot expecting
tosee the mangled remains of the
Unfortunate victim OF the accident.
Mich to their surprise they found
hin alive. 1t appears that when
the pilot struck him it threw him
back in the gap leaving his arm
resting on the track. The entire
train passed over his hand, crush
ing it into pulp. His body, how
ever with the exception OF a few
bruises. was not seriously injured.
The nan proved to be an Irishmau,
named Hugh McShane, and he was
brought to this place where his
hand was skillfully aDputated by
DR. G. Aft Alternately. He is now
doing as well as could be expected.
1t is thought he was intoxicated
when he fell into the gap and on
that account was unable to extrlcate
himself. He declined to give his
place of residence or any other in
formation concerning himself, ex-
cept his name. The indications are
that he is a tramp. He has reason
to congratulate himself on his es.
cape, which was nothing short of
miraculous.

DEATH ON THE TRACK.
Another Tennessaean Meets Death
Under the Wheels in Texas.

Mr. Will Taylor, Of Franklin,
Ienn., was run over and instantly
killed by the cars at Marshall,
Texas, on the 18th of October. He
was employed as a brakeman on
the road and had been out there
only about six weeks. The partic-
uiars of his frightful death are
meagre, but as far as could be as
certained were about as follows
His train was just pulling out from
the depot at Marshall and alter it
got in motion he attempted to
climb upon top of the caboose. In
climb the bars he caught hold of
the brake rod, which came loose
from its fastening at the top, and
swung him around and dropped Linn
between the cars on the track. The
wheels passed over his left wrist
and left ankle, MASKING them to a
jelly, and grazed his left hip, bruis-
ing it badly. 1t was thought, how
ever. that he was killed by the fall,
as his skull was broken at the back
of his left ear. The deceased will be
remembered as the nephew of Mr..
John d. Miller. He was engaged
as clerk with Hill d Miller in Pu-
laski several years ago, and after
wards was depot agent at Reynolds
for time. He was considered a
clever young man of good habits

full investigation shall disclose
which civil district came nearest
dong its duty to the Democratic
party, and the district that stands
at the head of the list shall be al.
lowed to furnish all the candidates
for the next election. This will
have a tendency to put each dis
trict on its muscle and bring out
the full Democratic vote. Seven
teen hundred Democrats failed to
vote in Giles county last week.
Their failure to do so reduces on
