meantime, transfers were made, but
much delay, and arrangement was
caused. Mr.. Richard Galayan, tele-
graph operator, went up, had the lines
repaired, set in az instrument and
kept communication with the city
Office all the while. III .r.,.y...
The management of the road exer
cised all their energies to contribute to
the comfort and convenience OF all the
victims of the wreck. Besides, special
mention is due to Messrs. G.. w. Ter
rell, of New Orleans, w. n. Taller, of
Virginia, and Gen. J. T.Wilder, Of
Chattanooga, passengers, and many
others who gave valuable assistance.
Another remarkable feature about
the wreck ia the fact that syeung man
named Kennedy, living near the rail-
road, this side OF the wreck, passed by
the bridge, after the wash -out, and
discovered it, but failed to give waru-
ing. He says he intended to do go,
but come one told him the train had
passed, and he went to bed and paid
no more attention TO it. 1t is certainly
hard to imagine what manner of man
he is.

a party of river pirates were discov-

sell The crew of the wreeking boat
fired on the thieves and one of them,
who is supposed to have been wound

The watchman of either the wrecking
boat or the Vicksburg was found
to have been in collusion with
the pirates, and was taken before
a justice of the peace and held in
$1,000 bonds. IA. .-..-.-.-. 81
LATER-A band of masked men ap-
peared and rescued the watchman,
captured the wrecking boat, placed
Mr.. Bedard, who was in charge of the
wrecking party, under guard. Great
excitement existed among the friends
of the thieves, a crowd Of whom had
come in from the country and
dire vengeance was threatened
against the wrecking crew.
At last accounts the sheriff of the
county had arrived, and it was hoped
that quiet would soosbe restored.
