A Genuine Sensation Brewing I'm Nash.

NASHVILLE, January 20.-The -Baaner
publishes the following: The facts concern
ing the abduction OF Mollie Payne from her
home, and her marriage TO John w. Phil
lips. and the subsequent arrest Of Capt. Da-
vid Hughes, charging him with her seduc.
tion and abduction, are familiar TO the read
ers of the Banner, as they were at the time of
the occurrence portrayed in its columns. 1t
will also be remembered that the arrest of
Hughes and other parties connected with
the sffair created quite a sensation. 1t is
said that the aged and chief actor in the
drama has been successful in persu aiding the
girl, Mollie Payne, and John w. Phillips, two
important States witnesses, to again renew
their once broken matrimonial VOWS, and
leave the State as husband and wife.
About two weeks ago John Phillips,
Nellie Payne and Dave Hughes were
seen at the Chattanooga depot, and as
the Northwestern train pulled out from the
depot, the attorney, Phillips and the girl
were on board. In few days after this
Capt. Yaier received information that the
party were in Paducab, KY, and Phillips
and the girl were passing as man and wife.
This information was given the attorney
general, and he instructed Detective Watson
to watch the case and keep the parties spot
| ted, which he did, and in reference to the
movements and actions Of the couple, he has
received several very important letters and
kilograms, which he refuses 10 allow pub
lished, stating that he had been at some ex-
pense in the matter, and that Attorney
General Washington refuses 10 reimburse
him. Several parties saw these letters and
they say their contents would create even
greater sensation than the arrest of Hughes
did, as they implicate a number of citizens
of this city. 1t is understood that Phillips

Excitement still st Fever Heat, with
No Sign or Abatement.

PrrTsBURa, January 20.-The Tidewater
Pipeline war at Titusville, Pa, continues,
with no signs of abatement The excitement
is still at fever heat. The old officials hold
the Offices with 3 force of men and barri-

force. James P. Keepe gave orders to all
the employees to stand by the old board and
they would be protected. The Sat-

s250,000 of stock, and the Perrin
party $50 900. Judge Church at Meadvills
this mornisg granted preliminary injunc-
ton restraining the newly elected board from
assuming control pending an action to chow
the illegality of the same. A sharp legal
fight is sure to follow, as it seems all chances
OF an amicable settlement are now impossi-
BILE. The fight involves the sum of at least
$500, 900.

SAN Francisco, Janusry 20.-There be.

no press dispatches regarding the railroad ac-
cident have been received, but the following
was obtained at the Office Of the railroad
company here: Shortly after midnight the

making the change, BY some means, yet un-
known, the train got away and started back
porthward. down The grade OF 40 feet to the
mile. The train consisted Of two engines, the
express, mail and baggage care, two sleepers,
one coach aud the smoker. Ii went down the
grade at frightiul speed for about four miles,
when the hiadmost sleeper jumped the track
and went over On emb,nkment about fifteen
feet high, carrying With it the other sleeper,

ing the track about two miles further on.

mining man; F. w. Piersop, express meg
senger; the porter Of one OF the sleepers,
named Wright, was taken out alive but died
soon after; Lawrence, porter Of the other
sleeper, burned. 1t Is feared that the vile
Of ex-Gov. Downey, who. with her husband
was on the train, is among the dead. At

taken out, some burned beyond recogni-
ton. The following are
