SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCI-
DENT.
several Injured but None Rii!-


Saturday last as the regular passenger
train, No. ,, east bound, cainc into
cleveland nc rs on schedule time, II
ran into the side track, next the depot,
rulliding with some coil cars, which
,tood on the track. The train was in
charge Of Capt. VIM. Elmorc, conduc-
tor. and was pulled by engine 10, Oar.
Gurley, engineer. In order to eseaI
what he very naturally a%pprehended
would result In serious consequences
by the collision, Engineer Gurley jump
rd from his engine, and in alighting on
The ground, which was slanting, he
broke both legs just aboge The ankle.
The left ankle as we learn from eye
witnesses, was broken at the joint, and
in the right the bones were badly shat
tered just above the joint, so bad that it
was feared a%npu:ation would be neces-
sary.
The fireman, Peter Henrit1ee, who
remained ia the cab, escaped without
injury. Conductor Gilmore, as a result
OF the jar, hal his left ear badly cut
and received other slight bruises about
the head, He was rendered %insensible
for a short time. No one else on the
train was hurt. The engine did not
leave the track, aud the damage to the
engine and cars was comparatively
slight.
The speed which was being Made by
the engine caused a considerable jam
among the coal and Hat cars on the
track, and rs a result, Charley, little
son of w. W. Stevenson, who was
standing nea OF on one of The cars, was
badly bruised about the head. Mr.. D..
II. Taylor, who was unloading the coal
car that was struck by the engine, was
also bruised and one arm broken. Will
liam Hapcr, who was assisting Taylor
was struck by the falling headlight
from the engine, and badly bruised and
Il rib or two broken.
The cause af the unfortunate accident
WAS that some one, either through mai
ice or carelessncss, changed the switch
from the main track tn the siding just
in advance of the arrival Of the train,
and The engineer failed to discover ii
in time to reverse and prevent the col
|liS>ion.
The engine being disabled, the train
was delayed for II considerable time,
until engineer Jerry Baily's freightcn-
ginc arrived, aud he pulled the passen-
ger train on to Knoxville.
On the receipt of the information at
ilc office of Mai. +. X. Hugcr, super
4 special was Immediately
dispatched to Cleveland, bearing Or.
Juo. NJ. Boyd, accompanied by Mrs.
Gurley, wife of the injured engineer
and other friends After his arrival ut
Cleveland, Or. Boyd photographed to
Major lIugcr, rs fellows: Condition
bad both ankles broken; both bone
joints exposed"
Mr.. Gurlcy was taken TO Knoxville,
Saturday night, on Il special train, 80
rs to be at home where he can he better
cured for. The accident to Mr.. Gurley
caused universal regret, as he WAS a so
BIER steady young man and universally
popular at home, and on the road. He

OBITUARY.


Mrs. Maria Thornton Hickman was
born Aug. lst, 1885 in Abingdon, Va,
and died of Pulmonary Consumption, at
her residence in G0odson- Bristol, Va.
Oct. l4ih 1881, at o'clock A. NJ. In
all the relations Of life the subject Of
this notice was a most exemplary Wo-
man. TO her husband, she was II help
meet indeed--as u mothev, she was fond
and taithful-as FRIEND ''true rs the
needle to the pole, Ut has been said Of
her--she never betrayed a uOnfdeaCc. -
As member Of the church, she was not
only outwardly consistent, but the doe
trines Of the Bible were ingraincd into
her soul, and made hers Il steady as well
as joyful experience. Converted at her
own private home in Jonesvillc, Lee
county, Va. in Dee, 1873, it is said that
for twenty-five years this christian wo-
man prayed regularly five times each
day, and sometimes rs often as six times.
She gave as n reason for this almost in
cessant importantly in prayer, that
nothing less than this could make her
equal to her duties, and may add, to
her SW0eriNgS, for she had been com
parative invalid for years. After the
Death of her son, George, in May last,
depleted in health, by her almost CON
slant attention to him, her friends con-
ceived change Of some sort, would be
helpful to her, and so she made n visit to
her SON IN Lee county, but was soon
brought back in state Of utter help
lessness, from which she never recover
ed. During the last days Of her Illness
! visited her quite often, and to me
these visits were always n benediction.
She was not simply passive under her
atlliction, but positively. triumphant,
and often expressed herself in raptures
when n hymn was sung or prayer Of
fered, that volImed forth the sentiment
Of her soul. And when her last strug-
gle came, with husband and children
around her bedside and kiss Imprinted
upon each, she resigned her spirit mp to
God, with these words upon her lips:
Lord Jesus, receive my SPIRIT II is
not too much to say that "the chamber
where this christian met her fate was
blcst beyond the common walks of men
quite on the verge Of Heaven" Much
as her family will miss her. they have
reason to be glad that her sull'crings are
over-that her warfare Is ended, and
that she has entered That Presence
"where there Is fllncss of joy, and
where there are pleasures forevcrmorc.'
Her PASTOR.
