ANOTHER SERIOUS FIGHT.--The Liber-

is to be credited with another serious fight,
which occurred on saturday last in Wood
vile district and not tar from West Falls.
The participants were DR.. w. II. Gray and
i---Fritz and wife, and the following are
the particulars, as related to us, which may
need some correction hereafter: Dr. Gray
and Fritz, it is SAID, were il. partnership in
preparing hog Cholera medicine, in regard

which on Saturday last resulted in fight
Fritz was knocked down by Gray, and
then his wife came to his assistance, when
it is said, Gray kicked her, breaking three
ribs, and stamped her after she was down
The latest report we have as to her condi
ton is that her recovery is very doubtful
1t is also reported that on Monday, Gray
left home, saying he was going to Frcdcr-

THE WORLDS FAIR.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE COM
missioners of the international ex-
hibition devoted this morning to
discussion and the adoption by sec
tions of the bylaws, Col. Stibbins
president. It is provided in the
bylaws that no obligation shall be
incurred and no money drawn from
the treasury of the commission until
the amount presented by congress
is subscribed, and not less than 10
per cent. thereof paid in, nor until a
permanent organization is effected.
The chairman was empowered to
name thirty-one gentlemen to consti-
tute an executive committee no tenn
porary organization. Mayor Coop
er called for the reading of commu-
nication sent by Judge Hilton, com
missioner of the worlds fair, setting
forth that the international exhibi-
ton could not be gotten up before
1885, that there were no provi-
sions in the bill asking the CO.
operation of foreign nations and
there were other points in the
measure to which the signers were
opposed, and therefore they placed
their resignation in the hands of a
commission. The communication
was signed by Judge Henry Hilton,
jackson S. Schultz and Abram S.
Hewitt. It was laid on the table.
but afterwards on motion was re-
ferred to the executive committee
when appointed with view to har-
monte matters.

OF PRESIDENT HAYES

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 12.-Speaking
at the reunion of ex-soldiers and
sailors yesterday, President Hayes
referred to the flow of immigration
to America as an indication of our
increasing prosperity. He alluded to
the fact that the few immigrants who
go south deplored the lack OF educa-
tional facilities in that section. He
referred to the fact that the south
lost so much by the war that at its
end the people of the southern states
were left in no condition to provide
for universal popular education,
and said: "Ihe principle ap-
piled by general consent to
works of public improvement is in
point. That principle is that when
ever public improvement is OF ma
tional Importance and local and
private enterprises are inadequate to
it's prosecution, the general govern
ment should undertake it. On this
principle I would deal with the ques-
ton of education by aid of the
national government Wherever in
the United States local systems OF
popular education are inadequate,
they should be supplemented by the
general government by devoting tc
the purpose by suitable Legislation
and with proper safeguards, public
lands, or if necessary, appropriations
from the treasury of the United
States.

bonds: that the coupons shall not DC
amenable for taxes; that all questions
relating to the state debt be submitted
to q vote of the people; fayors public
education, and is opposed to convict
labor.
s.F. WILSON NOMINATED
8. F. Wilson, of Sumner county,
was unanimously nominated for gov
ernor. He accepted the nomination
and said he would go to Macon county
to open the canvass tomorrow.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
the hearty approval and determination
of Marks not to accept the nomination
for governor upon platform in hos
tility to his people, and endorsed
the manly sentences enun-
ciated in his letter declining
such nomination. 1t tenders to him
it's unqualified thanks and applauds
his action as the noblest of his life
the sacrifice of personal ambition to
the good of his country.
An executive committee was ap-
pointed, as follows: w. 81. Hancock,
of Polk, Lloyd Bullen, of Greene; s.
B. Northrup. of Bledsoe; w. B.
Samples, Of Monroe; R. A. Sloan, OF
| McMinn.
Inasmuch as Marks didn't have q
ghost of a chance for denomination in
the democratic convention, the above
resolution is considered rather refresh
ing.
ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT.

cratic convention last night the ma

Adopted by the state Credit
Democrats.

The following is the platform
adopted by the atate-eredit wing of
the Tennessee democracy:
1st. Our unabated allegiance to the
national democracy, and unfaltering
faith in and devotion to its traditions
and principles.
End. That we endorse the action of
the late national democratic convention
at Cincinnati. and resffirm the princi.
pies enunciated in the Cincinnati plat

divided support to the democratic
nominees as presented to the country
by the Cincinnati convention.
3rd That in the nomination of
Winfield Scott Hancock, of PennsyI-
vania, and VIM. II. English, of In-
diana, for president and vice presi,
dent of the United States, we recog-
nlze the complete restoration of
fraternal feelings TO all sections of our
common country.
4. We reassert our opposition to the
reputation of any of the pubic obli-
cations of the state or federal govern
ment, and declare that the reputation
of either under any pretext or dis
guise would be the most direful of
evils, moral, financial and political,
and III the patriotic langusgs of the
national democratic platform we
pledge ourselves to the strict main
tenance of the public faith, state and
national.
s. We IT recognize disposition upon
the part of the creditors of the state, in
view of the great losses entailed by the
| n
ness, aud the general shrinkage in
values, TO make a liberal reduction in
both the principal aud interest of our
bonded indebtedness, and we declare
that we favor a prompt settlement by
the legislature with our creditors upon
the best terms that can be agreed upon
as result Of the negotiation.
Resolved, That we demand the
most rigid economy in the admins
tratiOn of all the public affairs of the
state and national government, the
suppression OF any and all extrava'
gances in public expenditure. the re-
ductloD OF all salaries and fees of office
50 far as can be done consistently with
the proper discharge of public offices,

institutions of learning and to TIT
maintenance and better perfection anG
development of our system of public

fact that the administration Of th,
government, both state and fedora
by that party, will under its rapit
strides to Capitalization, soon result il
the destruction of our republican form
of government. sE s h
That in view of tie complaints com

YAJseDgers and in favor of through
freight and passengers it is the sens'

met with an accident on the Midland
railroad between Leeds and Lancas-

while passing q switch near Wen

miles per hour. The two forward
carriages telescoped and the others
were piled on them in a heap, but
the serious casualties were confined
to the two first carriages.

ANOTHER CATHOLIC DISAS-
TER.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 12.-Last
evening the second section of an ex-
cursion train, which left Atlantic City
at 6 o'clock, ran into the first section,
telescoping the rear car, killing one
and injuring over forty. The train
was filed with st. AIMS Catholic ex-
cursionists from Kensington to Phil
adelphia. The first section of six.
teen cars left the city
at six o'clock and the second section
of ten cais soon followed. ALI went
well until the second section reached
Mays landing, When the engineer
slowed up and started to run on the
siding to allow the passage of the
SOB express from Camden. All the
cars had passed the switch except
Two, when the second section came
laundering on behind. Of the per
sons on the rear of the first
train, some jumped to the ground
and then rushed panic stricken back
into the cars. The locomotive ca11e
bounding on and crashed into the
rear car still standing upon the
bridge. So terrible was the force of
the collision that the engine fairly
plowed furrow half way into the
car, the roof of the latter being
lifted over the smokestack of the
locomotive. The shock broke one of
the cylinders of the engine and
instantly the scalding water was
poured out upon the terror-s stricken
occupants of the car. The rain had
been pouring down heavily and con-
sequently all the windows of the car
were down, and the steam filling it
instantly, added to the terror of the
accident by coneealing everything
beneath impenetrable clouds. The
scenes that ensued are described
as being simply terrible.
From beneath the concealing
vapor were heard agonized
shrieks of women, the piteous walls
of children and the pain born yells
of suffering men. The panic strick-
en- thousands in the cars of the first
train ran pell nell from them or
jumped through the windows and
rushed they knew not whittier
IN their unconquerable fright,
and it was some time before reason
prevailed, and earnest efforts were
made to rescue the injured and re-
lleve their suferings. AS there were
nearly two thousand people from
Philadelphia on the excursion the ex-
element among those looking for
their friends at the wharf, as the
wounded were brought over from
Camden, was intense. Some of the
women had gone down to the
seaside in light summer cos
tune, which furnished but
shght protection against steam jets,
ana the only difficulty is to see
"here they are not burned. They
were carried from the cars a mass OF
nour and cotton under which the
human form was scarcely .distin-
guishable, and but for low moans
they seemed dead.
At 2 o'clock this morning ten am
balances were full, and as the nnm.
Der of stretchers proved inadequate,
several of the victims remained in
the cars.

MAJOR WEBB ANSWERED
Solid Facts and UnanswerabIt
Truths. p t-s5

Mr. Raeder has furnished us the
following: - .es e.. ....-....-.s
To THE CHRONICLE :-Hayipg read
the card of L. s. Webb, Mr.. Auderson's
lawyer, in your paper this morning, I
beg space TO correct its errors and mis-
statements, which are many and fla
grant.
Mr.. Webb's statement that the
italy marks plainly counted 139
votes for Anderson" IN the Jst ward,
is not true-ss to the "plainly." Ifall
the dots and marks on one of the sheets
are counted they do count 139; but
these dots and marks were not made
as tally marks are made. Besides,
these marks were on an ancertifed
sheet-a paper Mr.. Webb admits is
mot even required to be filed with the
CLERKS" L preferred TO go by the soE>
enan and formal certificate of tue Off
Ger who held the election and the
judges and clerks, sU of WhO11 posi-
lively declare, in plain s0ords, that
Anderson received only 1873 votes. Mr..
Webb wanted me to say that the state.
ment OF these sac officers, made
under 9th, was a falsehood. and
wanted me to 60 "behind their re-
turn" and count the vote for myself
Nobody knows better than Mr.. Webb
that 1 had no right to do this. How
could L, who was not present when
the lst ward was counted, know better
than the sac men who tOere present,
and who were al sa0orn to do the
counting?
Besides all this, called tc>day upon
VIM. G. McAdoo, jr., the principal
clerk Of the election in the lst ward
and an Anderson man, and he fur
nished me with the following stale,
ment:
here give the certificate of the
judges and clerks OF the 1st ward:
State of Tennessee, Knox county.
We. the undersigned, officer, judges and
