Terrible Accident 10 Judge
Keys DAUGHTER.

Keys Daughter.
Miss Emma Key, daughter of Judge
D. NJ. Key, of Chattanooga, received
q dangerous injury in that city Satur-
day afternoon by fall from buggy.
She had just started on buggy ride
with a young man. The horse, a
spirited animal, made plunge before
the young man fairly had the lines in
hand. Her escort was thrown out
and run over, but not dangerously
hurt. The horse ran down an en-
bankment and plunged into ditch
fully nine feet deep and six feet wide.
The shock threw the young lady out
headforemost, and her head struck
the corner of sharp rock at the head
of the sewer into which the ditch
empties. The horse cleared the ditch
and got away. Miss Key was picked
up bleeding and unconscious and car
ried to her home. 1t was found that
no limbs were broken and that her
skull was not fractured. She re-
gained consciousness only temporarily,
and for awhile the worst was feared.
The Times Of yesterday morning gives
the latest bulletin, as follows:
AT l o'clock this morning, in
answer to inquiries from the Times,
Judge Key said that Miss Key symp-
toms we're as favorable as the terrible
fall she suffered would permit him to
hope. At that hour she was in a
semi-cOnscious condition, but had
parOxysms Of intense agony. Judge
Key said the physicians appear hope
full, but have apprehensions of unfa-
vorable results.

Monday night about 10 o'clock the large
and handsome residence of Captain Watt
Caruth was destroyed by fire, together with
all its contents, save piano and a few
pieces of household furniture. 1t was stu
ated some six miles distant from the CITY,
on the Preston road. just north of the Texas
Central railroad, and was fine two-story
frame building, which was elegantly FUR
nished. Captain Caruth was absent rom
home at The time, having gone to
Cleburne on business. The men,
bers of the family retired for
the night about 0 o'clock, and had hardly
began to slumber when they became aware
that the house was on fire. 1t caught in
the roofing near one of the tlues and burned
so rapidly that, with what scanty help
there was on the premises, but little was
saved. The building burned like so much
timber, and made blaze that was plainly
visible in the city and for miles around.
The house was insured for 5000, and its
contents for 5000, while the loss OF both
will approximate $4,000 in all.
