situation that a surplus of 29,000,-

tatlon of progressive increase
with the extension of the state
railway system. 1t announces
loan of moderate amount for
productive works. Also an ecclesi-

ernment discretionary powers, but
of larger scope ethan those of the
May law. Congratulatory reference

DEATH ON TIE RAIL.
Terrible Accident on a New York
Road.
Nine Persons Killed and Forty
Wounded.

New YORK, January 14.-The ex
press from Chicago to New York
reached Albany twenty three min
utes late yesterday afternoon. Owing
10 the great crowd of legislators and
others who desired to reach the cap
ital, fifteen additional cars were put
on, eight of them being palace
coaches. Two extra engines were
also attached and the tram got un-
der way. 1t was filed with men of
note and prominence of both Repub-
iican and Democratic parties, includ
ing almost the entire New York
City, Brooklyn, Long Island and
Staten Island delegates in both
houses Of the Legislature, winch had
adjourned over till next
Monday. At Spoyten Devil the
train became disabled, and
owing, apparently to the failure on
the part of the rear fagman, the en-
gineer of the Tarrytown special,
which followed at an interval of q
few minutes, knew nothing of the
danger until he was almost upon the
disabled train aud running at high
speed The two rear drawing
cans were telescoped and Immediately
caught fire from the overturned
stoves and lamps. Some of the pas
sengers were caught in the wreck
and burned to death.
The wounded were promptly cared
for end scattered among the houses
in the vicinity and the hospitals.
About 40 were more or less injured.
Accounts vary as to the number of
killed. But bodies were recognized,
and were burned beyond rec0gni-
ton. The recognized dead are Sen
ator Webster Wagner, E. L. Ran
som, of the Hoffman House, Park.
Valentine, of Bennington, Vt, and
wife Oliver B. Kelly, OF Pennsylvania,
man supposed to be Rev. +. Mar
shall, book of sermons bearing that
name being found in his effects, and
Miss Maud Brown, of n. Y.
The railroad officials say the cause
of the stoppage of the train was a
arrangement of the air brakes. AS
soon as the train stopped, the rear
brakeman, named MlIins, was sent
back with the danger signal to warn
other trains, and-had time to go half
mile, but seems to have gone but a
short distance. He disappeared i'm
mediately after the accident and has
not since been seen. The body sup
posed to be that of a clergyman, is
now supposed to be that of Father
Marechal, a Catholic priest, of Troy.

gross neglect of duty, as he deemed it, put
ting him to an immense amount of trouble
and annoyance In the case
of patient who was taken
charge of by him from the hands of po-
hcenan, being as he supposed, prisoner,
and the city physician unable to attend him
| The patient, he said, was in critical con-
dition, requiring his constant attention,
and entaihng much loss of sleep and rest
He attempted, he said, to have policeman
detailed to relieve him on the watch, as he
had right to do as executive officer of the
board of health, and the patients condition
was such as to require policeman to pre-
vent him from being nuisance. The police
authorities refused him assistance, however
Alderman Allison stated that the patient
referred to was not a prisoner, and in no
sense in the city's charge, but was simply
hunted up by request of a relative, and DIR.
Park summoned; hence ne, as chairman of
the fire and police committee, had no au-
thority TO detail policeman.
No action was taken by the board in the
matter.
The reI ort of the finance committee for
the year 1881 was read by Il. H. Campbell,
the city's book-keeper. accepted, and 100
copies ordered printed. The-srepoft being
not yet completed in ali its details, we are
not able to give the figures in this ISSUE but
will in our next.
DIR. S. b. Boyd, secretary of the city
board of health, made his annual re-
port to the board, which was lengthy
and interesting. From this report there
are shown to have occurred i'll the city of
Knoxville and suburbs during the year 1881
274 deaths, l4i whites, 80 colored for 1880
144, 81 whites, 60 colored. In 1881, 80 died
of consumption, and in 1880, n from the
same disease.
The report was accepted and 900 copies
ordered printed
On motion of Alderman Deaderick DR.
Boyd was paid $50 for extra services
The question of vaccination was sprung
by Alderman Nelson, who asked if there
was an ordinance providing therefor. II
was replied that there is an ordinance on
the subject, though it is not compulsory
He moved, and it was carried, that all the
people of the city be requested to vaccinate.
He thought steps ought to be taken to
quarantine against the infected districts in
the country~
Alderman King stated that the County
Court had taken action and appointed DIR.
West to put guards around the different
places.
Alderman Deaderick stated that the
citizens are being vaccinated as fast as pos
sible, and most all intelligent people have
already attended to the matter, but the
poor people should be attended to at once.
DIR. Boyd said that the city physician, DIR.
Alexander, being himself sick and afflicted
in his family it is very essential to attend to
vaccinating the poor at once, and he sug-
gested that two or three physicians be select
ed to attend to it.
On motion of Alderman Brooks, the matter
was referred to the sanitary committee, with
power to act in the premises.
