A RUNAWAY ENGINE.

Chattanooga Times, Both.
A serious accident occurred on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and GeOr'
gia railroad at Carriers Station Fri
day night. As the third section Of
freight train number eight was gO~
ing down the steep grade a few
hundred yards west of the station,
the engine became unmanageable
aud rushed down the grade with
lightning rapidity. The whistle for
brakes was blown necessarily which
was answered by the brakemen, but
to 20 avail, and the engine dashed
into the rear of the second section.
When the men at the station hear
the thunder of the runaway train
they realized the situation in an in
slant, and turned the switch from
the main line, which threw the train
on the side track into the freight
train. Had the switch been left for
the main line the runaway train
ould have run into a southbound
freight which was standing few
feet distant, and the loss of property
would have been enormous.
The caboOse and three cars we're
entirely demolished, and ten cars
we're badly damaged. The cabOOse
took fire while lying on top of the
engine and was destroyed.
Engineer Asham in jumping from
his engine was badly injured abou
the head. The fireman in jumping
rolled down 40 embankment fully
twenty-five feet, but escaped injury
The runaway engine was buriec
under the debris of the burning carr
and was almost a total ruin It wal
one of the splendid moguls, recently
received by the road.

until he was struck down lay a minnie bail and

\ Delightful Entertainm emit.

The round of social entertainments to
which our neighborhood is usually treated
during the summer, was began on Tuesday
evening last at 'Idaho," the hospitabe home
of our worthy Chief Justice Stone, and if it
was precursor Of Others that are to follow, then
indeed we may look forward 10 u guy and
pleasant season. The appointments at Idaho"
on the night in question were complete and moth
ing was left undone by the genial Judge, his este
mable spouse and their attractive and charming
daugh tiers, that would be in the least conducive
to pleasure and entertainment of the assembled
COMPANY. On ascending the hill leading to
the house the scene presented burst on the view
like some oriental picture, for the beautiful
lawn surrounding the residence was tasteful;y
adorned with fancy colored lanterns and the
house itself was lit up in a blaze of light, from
ground to spire, throwing around halo OF
mellow light that would at once cause happy
flow of spirits and the heart to rebound at the
cheerful anticipation of the pleasure and hap
piness that would be experienced on crossing the
threshold. Nor was this anticipation in the
least leSSeueu neu you were once Wltulu, ioT
the reassuring smile of welcome with which
all were greeted by the kind host and hostess,
made even the most bashful forget himself and
enter heartily into the spirit OF the occasion.
novel feature of the entertainment was, that
before entering the dancing room each gentle
man was required to draw piece of ribbon, q
corresponding piece of which was held by some
lady in an adjoining room of whose identity
you were ignorant, and the lady whose ribbon
corresponded to yours was to be your partner
for the first dance. Much speculation was
INDUCED in by the boys as TO whom they bad
drawn, but the happy look that appeared on
the face of each as his partner came forth, was
sufficient proof that each one considered himself
lucky in the draw. All then repaired to the
dining room where a substantial supper was
psrtaken OF, and then the dancing begun and
was kept up, with only an inter- upton for re-
freshmeuts about O. clock, until the ''wee sma'
hours" of morning then there was hurry ing
for wraps and call for carriages and the las,
good byes were spoken coupled with unbounded
thanks to the host and hostess for so pleasant
an entertainment.
