NIUMFORD AND HIS DEPUTIES.
Commencement of a Case Involving an
Important Decision.


Important Decision.
RICHMOND, VA, April 10.-The United
States Circuit Court met here to-day,
Judges Bond and Hughes presiding. The
first case taken up was that of Robert B.
Mumford, Commissioner of Revenue of
Richmond, under Indictment for con-
spiracy with his deputies to OBJ
struct and hinder the friends
and supporters of John S. Wise
and John Amber Smith, candidates for
Congress in the November election, from
being assessed as delinquents for the pay
ment of the poll tax. The counsel for the
defense demurred to the indictment, and
moved that it be quashed on the grounds
that the Offense is vaguely charged; that
the act Of assessing delinquents was not
required by law, as payment of the poll
tax could be made without it.; that the
repeal of the poll tax provision of the
constitution vOided the prosecution, and
that the section of the United States stat
ute in question is unconstitutional. The
argument of the motion to quash occupied
the time till the adjournment of the court,
and will be concluded tomorrow morning
The questions under discussion are vital
ones, as a decision favorable to the defense
will put an end to the whole prosecution
against Mumford and his deputies.

A Terrible Collision or sr,e Eizl
nois Central Railroad.

Special to the Times Dsmocrat.l
BRADFORD, Tenn, Nov. 17.-At 3
o'clock this afternoon south bound
passenger train No. and north
bound passenger train No. on the
Illinois Central Railroad, collided
halfway between Greenfield and
Bradford, Tenn. The collision oc-
Cured in a sixteen-foot cut, and on a
curve. Both engines were thrown
from the track and stood almost
upon end side by side. The baggage
cars Of each train telescoped into the
adjoining passenger coach, and sub
sequently caught fire and both bag
gage cars and passenger coach were
burned. The baggage, mail and ex-
press matter was badly scattered but
not lost.
Orders had been issued for the two
trains to meet at Greenfield, five
miles from Bradford; the south
bound train received orders at Green
field to meet at Bradford, and the
north bound train was tagged at
Bradford and the conductor entered
the telegraph Office, where he was
receiving orders to wait at that sta
ton. Suddenly Engineer Smally OF
the north bound train, pulled out
Train Master Ellington and Conduc-
tor G. B. Harris ran to the freight
engine on the side track, where sig
nails were sounded, but evidently
were not heard. The north-bound
train was running at full speed on a
down grade when the trains met
Engineer Jack Allen, Of the down
train saw the wife of the section
master making signals as he entered
the cut and had just time to reverse
the engine and give full steam to the
engine and brakes and jump. AS il
was he was covered by the debris
and slightly injured. Engineer
Smally was buried under the wreck
and was taken out by the conductor
Major e. A. Burke, of New Orleans
and other passengers. One log was
broken, and he was otherwise
bruised. Telegraph Repairer Coburne
WAS so badly injured that he died
about an hour after the accident
Pete Harris, porter, was killed. G
5. Mcintyre, express messenger
bound south, was injured, but not
seriously. Three colored men
names unknown, were injured
though not seriously. Mail Agents
Clemens, Crudup and Truly were in
jured, Crudup rnallY, Clemonf
and Truly not seriously. Fifteen OIL

gers, were more or less injured by

The collision secns entirely due
to. Engineer Smaily leaving Brad
ford without the signal. He left
Conductor Harris in the telegraph
Office getting orders, and evidently
was under the impression that orders
to run to Greenfield were in force. 1,
was reported that the bell-rope was
pulled, but the fireman denies that
any signal was given. He says the
engineer packed hot box as soon as
the train stopped, and when he fin
ished jumped upon the engine and
pulled out. Smaily stood at the
throttle until the trains struck.

"kll Things for che Best

1t is surmised that Gov. Lowry
will reappoint Judge Campbell and
supersede Judge Chrisman. The
Senate will hardly confirm Judge
Campbell, and the people of the 10th
district will unanimously and very
cmphatically condemn the non-ap-
pointment of Judge Chrisman. He
has taught the bar Of the 10th dis
trict good manners in court, and
made the people the most law bid-
ing people of the State. The courte-
sy Of the members of the bar to each
other and to the court, is charming
feature, and when the courthouse
bell rings the people jump and run
to court as swiftly as they respond
to the dinner bell.

TIE last issue Of the BRooKHAyEN
LEADER contains an article that does
Copiah county great injustice. In
fact, many statements it contains are
not true and others are greatly over
drawn. We hope this is the result
of the editors ignorance of the true
state of affairs, as he has 10 reason
TO misrepresent them; but if he is to
be the sponsor and read them moral
lectures, we hope he will post himself
first so that he can establish his
premises just little nearer the truth
than he did in his last issue-Copi-
al Signal.
AS you state, we have no reason
to misrepresent the people of Copiah
county, nor have we any desire to dc
so; but if tire statements published
by us were untrue, neighbor, why
did you not point out, while you
were penning the above, wherein
they were untrue" or greatly over
