RUTHERFORD, TENN.
A Freight Train Crushed Almost 10
AtOms-The Chicken Trade.
Regular Correspondence of the Appeal

Regular Correspondence of the Appeal
RUTHERFORD, February 14.-This is a
thriving town on the Mobile and Ohio
railroad, in Gibson county, twelve miles
north of Trenton.
Rutherford is surrounded by a very fine
farming country. A great deal of wheat
is grown here.
This town fer a long time monopolized
the chicken trade of the surrounding
counties. Fol a long time fifty cents
apiece for grown hens was the regular
price, but the merchants have finally real
lied that there was not millions in il"
and released their hold on the chicken
trade by giving lower prices.
The store of George W. Keathly, who
recently made a failure here, is still closed,
while a suit is pending between the credi-
tors here and those in the cities.
All the low land near here is overfiowed,
and no prospect OF a fall.
There was a terrible freight wreck on
the railroad about half a mile north of
this place on last Thursday morning,
which resulted in the almost total ruin of
the engine and five bON-cars. These are
the particulars: The north-bound freight
passed here about6:10 o'clock in the morn
ing. There was a fog, which increased the
darkness sc that the engineer did not see
a large tree that had fallen across the
track during the night until nearly on it.
The engine struck the log while
going at full speed. The engineer and
fireman jumped in time to get out OF the
way, but the engineer was badly bruised.
No n else was hurt. The cotton bales
and goods were scattered far and near.
The engine was of the "Mogur' make,
with three driving wheels on each side,
and looked like some great crippled mon
ster. The loss to the company was very
heavy, but / do not know the exact
auoount ON
