A Painful Accident.
lLynchburg vlrglnian.l


Yesterday morning a painful acct
dent happened to Mr.. Alfred Elliott,
well-known engineer on the Norfolk
and Western railroad, and brother to
Mr.. John A. Elliott, the popular livery
stable man. Engineer Elliott was
standing in the Norfolk and Western
yard, facing the Union depot, when the
eastern-bound train moved out. and as
the train neared him he stepped aside
on another track. lie had not observed
that an engine with tender attached
was approaching from another d.
rection, and before he became
aware of it he had been struck
and knocked down on the track.
lie made an effort to roll to
one side in order to avoid injury, but,
unfortunately, one of his feet was
caught under a wheel and horribly
crushed. The wounded man was picked
up and conveyed to the office of the
machine-shOps, and q messenger was
dispatched at once for surgical as
sistance. DR.. billiard and several other
physician. responded, and after an
examination and consultation it was
decided that Engineer Elliot's leg
would have to be amputated just above
the ankle. The operation was success
fully performed, after which the suf-
ferer was removed to the home of his
brother, on Elm avenue. AT late
hour he was reported to be pro-
crossing favorably.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1885-07-21

Now turn to SPOPFORD for 1885,
page 100, and read the following, which
were the highest and lowest prices of
1879 for the whole year:
Flour-Western, $500 to S6.40.
I'VE have no quotations Of family -four,
but il was above s6.4O in 1879
Wheat, sl0j to sl.l7.
Mote that wheat was in 1879 almost
exactly as much higher than 1T is now
as gold is higher now than silver.l
We quote from SPorFORD as fol-
lows: In 1879 Rio coffee, IL TO Il ic. {;
in 1883, s 10 l3c. Upland cotton in
1879, OF to l3lc. in 1888, 10 to II !c.
But iron is the great balsnco-wheel Of
trade and commerce. In 1879 bar-iron
sold at cas- to 1850 per ton. In 1888
at s47 to ESQ. Remember, these are
the highest and the lowest figures. And
iron is still lower now. In 1879 the
highest price Of Scotch pig-iron was
s30.5O; in 1888, it was $3.50. In 1879
the highest price Of No. msckerel was
500 H.; in 1853, it was also.
These figures will at least show that
Mr.. KEMP's figures cannot be relied
upon. Not that they were not In
tended to be true, but that he probably
picked his articles. We must at the
same time admit that there are two sides
to even this question.
