Factory Destroyed by a Locomotive OFF
the Track.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. July 1S.-About
o'clock this morning, a mile east of this city,
at the zinc works, the eastern-bound express
train, going at full speed, was thrown from
the main track by misplaced switch. The
train struck four coal cars on the side track
demolishing them. The engine jumped the
track and ran into the main building of the
works Just erected by the East Tennessee
Valley Zinc Company, tearing away the whole
side OF the building, and playing havoc with
the machinery of the locomotive. The en-
CINE ran into the stationary engine of the
zinc company, demolishing the latter COM
pletely, and then the locomotive and tender
turned over. The mail car was torn to pieces
and the express car damaged. The damage
to the railroad company is about so, 900, and
the damage to the zinc company about Sc, 000
The railroad company offers a large reward
for the apprehension of the scoundrel who

He Goes as an Invited Guest, and Not at
Government Expense.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-It is denied, on the
highest authority. that President Arthur's
trip to the Yellowstone valley will cause any
expense to the government 1t is also spe-
officially denied that telegraph lines will be
erected which will cost thousands of dollars,
and that 100 horses are being provided for the
party, to be paid for with public funds. The
fact of the President being a member OF the
party will not add a single dollar to the ex-
penses of the trip. 1t is not to be pleasure
party for the benefit of the President but an
official exploration party, and the President
is to accompany it as an invited guest. The
exploration would be made this year in any
event, regardless whether the President ac-
companied the party or not 1t is the Gus
tom to send out one or more parties
each year to make explorations for the War
Department. Last year Acknowledgement
Sheridan made an exploration of part of the
Territories of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho,
and several months ago determined to make
an exploring trip, and invited the President
to accompany him. The President did not
accept the invitation at the time because he
did not then know whether he would be able
to 90. He subsequently accepted the in
vitation, however, and, as has been stated,
will accompany the party as an invited
guest, but will not consent that
the government shall be put to
any expense by reason of this
acceptance He will leave Washington in
time to be present at the opening of the ex-
hibition at Louisville, on the 1st of August,
and will then go to Chicago, and the party
will leave that city on August for Fort
Washakie. From this point they will follow
the route travelled by Gen Sheridan last sum
mer until they reach Hot Springs. They will
then branch off and follow the Yellowstone
river as far as Shields river in Montana.
Prior to his departure for Louisville the
President will make a visit of two or three
days to New York.

KELLoGG.s CASE.


The Motions in Abatement for Defendant
Denied by Judge Wyle.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-In the Criminal
Court, Judge Wylie delivered an opinion
upon the pleas in abatement by the defense
and demurrer entered by the government in
the case of the United States against VIM.
Pitt Kellogg charged with illegally receiving
money while United Staaes Senator for ac-
ton in connection with the expedition of
certain star routes.
1.-THE law required plea in abatement to
be drawn up with great exactness," said
Judge Wylie, as he took up the first plea,
based upon the failure of the indictment to
agree with the presentment He dismissed
this plea because it was not material. The
next plea, charging Mr.. Ker with illegal
attendance upon the sittings of the grand
jury, judge Wylie said was not
based upon fact. Mr.. Ker was
authorized representative attorney for the
United States and this district. The pleas
attacking the grand jury as illegal because
the members had not been notified five days
in advance, that their names had been drawn,
and because the notices did not specify the
proper hour were dismissed because they
did not agree with the facts and were not
material.
ne uGAb pea, an important one, SdlQ bD6
court, charged illegalty in the proceedings
because the vacancies in the jury caused by
certain persons being excused had been
filed by drafts from the box instead Of by
summoning talesmen; Instead of picking up
talesmen the marshal had taken the names
from the box. The names were supposed to
represent persons legally eligible.
Twas that fatal to the whole panel?'
asked Judge Wylie, and in answer he read a
number of authorities to the contrary. The
fact that the names had been
obtained from the box was
no objection, providing the persons possessed
legal qualifications. Said the court, as il dis
missed the plea Upon the question of the
applicability of the act of June 30, 1879, the
court had passed III the case of the United
States against Dorsey, holding that the act
was not in force in this District But even
if the pleas were in accordance with the
facts, said Judge Wylie in summing up,
"the indictment was good, because all the
pleas alleged violations of the District stat
utes, whereas the United States statutes also
governed. That alone was a fatal lack of ex-
actness in the pleas. Therefore the pleas
were overruled.'
Mr.. Wilson. for ex-senator Kellogg. noted
exceptions, and filed motion to quash the
indictment, based npon Mr.. Ker's presence
in the grand jury room, and upon imperfec-
tons and deficiencies in the Indictment 1t
was agreed to proceed tomorrow with argu-
ments upon motions to quash, and the case
vas continued.
