hour people began pouring into town,
and by 9 o'clock the streets were

about 400 horses and numerous

The Avalanche Showing its True
COIOrs.

EDITOR LEDGER-It is a hard thing
to wear a mask all the time, and the
cultured journalist and distinguished
political leader who conducts the
Memphis Avalanche has at last thrown
off the one he has been wearing so
long, and in the following editorial of
yesterday appears as he really is and
always has been, a most venomous and
malignant Republican:
What fools We mortals be. It is
not "inceudiary" or Objectionable for
Colonel Young to excite snimosity
against Judge Smith by charging that
he voted to disfranchise the white
people and to rally the boys for the
grand old party that enfranchised
them. But its ''incendiary" for the
Republican speakers to rally the
Senegambian and to appeal to his
gratitude for the party that enfrau
chised him and tries to keen the
Young party from DISTINGUISHING him
by ballot-box stlfing and fraudulent
counting. 1t is all right for Young
and the rest to abuse" Hawkins and
Smith as DISTINGUISHES and all that,
but all wrong for Williamson and the
rest 20 abuse" Young and Harris
There never was as much hVmbug in
any campaign as there mas been in

Collision.
Columbia Herald. 8.

A serious collision occurred at
Lynnyille Wednesday night between
two of Forepaugh's circus trains,
resulting in considerable loss to him
aud the railroad, and perhaps in loss
OF life. He had three trains taking
his circus to Pulaski, and the middle
one ran into the rear Of the front
train completely telescoPing il. Two
of the elephants were badly injured
and considerable circus property was
damaged. One Of the circus employ.
ees was badly injured and a boy tramp
stealing a ride vas run over and it
is thought will die. The circus
men became incensed at the
conductor of the front train, Bill
Russell, and a row ensued, resulting in
the conductor being badly beaten up,
though he gave them a lively russell
and was only overpowered by mum
bers. The cause Of the accident was
the failure Of the circus men to attach
the breaks to their cars while the
second train was going down the grade
near Linnsille, where the front train
had stopped to water. The collision
was terrific, the noise being heard for
miles around. Various and greatly
exaggerated reports of the affair
reached Columbia, causing great ex-
citement until they we're corrected.
