Railroad Collision.

Last Saturday afternoon, about 4:30,
passenger trains No. 1 going South and
No. Q coming East collided between Tai
bolts and Messy Creek, seriously injur-
ing three men and doing considerable
damage to the rolling stock. Both trains
were behind time. A dispatch to No. /
10 remain at Talbott's until No. 2 passed
reached the station just as No. l pulled
out. The two trains met while winding
a curve and came together with a terrible
crash, badly wrecking the locomotives
and smashing the mail cars to pieces. The
tender on the south bound train was tele-
scoped into the mail car, in which were
A. J. WEIGH and l. A. Newton, in charge
of the mails, and NJ. T. Howard, on his
way from Greeneville to Chattanooga to
go out OF his mail run All three jump
ed when the crash came. WEIGH had his
right leg broken, Howard sprained his
ankle, and Newton escaped unhurt. Fred
II. Phillips and - Johnson were in
charge of the mail car attached to No. 2.
johnson escaped unhurt by jumping, but
Phillips was thrown against the tables
and sustained serious injuries. W. H.
Sloan, a brakeman on this train, was up
lighting the lamps when the collision
came. He was thrown against a seat and
his left collar bone broken. Although
some of the passengers were considerably
shaken up none was hurt.
The engineers and firemen Of the two
trains saved themselves by jumping be-
fore their engines anne together. Both
engines were reversed as SOC as the en-
gineers discovered the danger.
News of the accident was sent Ia
Knoxville and a wrecking train and aid
at once left for the scene Of disaster. AT.
ter the debris was cleared away freight
locomotives were attached to the rear Of
the two trains, the south bound train re
turning to Bristol with the east bount
trains passengers, and the east boun(
train returning to Knoxville with No. Il
passengers,
No. 1 was in charge of Conductor Ell
more, with engineer Sam Toms and fire
man Sidney Armstrong. Conducto
Moore. engineer Smith and fireman A
Presnell were running No. 2.
The cause of the collision is said to b
due to n miscalculation of the train dis
patcher at Knoxville, who had suppose
that No. ! would not make up as muc
lost time as it did before reaching Ia
bolts, and on this supposition was a fey
seconds too late in sending orders t

In this age when the events of yester-
day in AL parts of the world arc found in
to-day's paper; when tidings Of a battle
in Egypt or China are flashed across seas
and laid at our door before its smoke is
dissipated, it is necessary for well-inform-
ed people to have access to reliable maps.
Not all can afford the heavy library at
lases, and even they are often found un.
trustworthy unless a new one is purchased
as often as revised.

purpose, critically accurate and up to

Four Reversal. by the supreme Court.

~ y cso SofACAnS SVoAt
Last week the Supreme Court, in SEES
sion Of Knoxville, reversed the verdicts
in fours cases where murder was the
crime charged.
The first case was that Of Perkey, who
had been tried three times for Killing a
colored man named Sam Franklin In his,
Perkey's. bar in the summer Of 1884.
Two juries did not agree. The third
brought in a verdict Of guilty Of man
slaughter and sentenced Perkey TO the
penitentiary for five years. An appeal to
the Supreme Court was taken on the
grounds of a gambling verdict" and
the case was remanded to the lower court
for another trial.
The case of Poston Sooy, under SEN
tence Of seven years in the penitentiary
for the killing Of a man in Carter county
about two years ago, wa also sent back
to the Circuit Court. Sooy is the SON Of
a highly respectable merchant in Knox
vile and was q popular young man. The
cause of his present trouble was liquor
and a woman Of bad reputation. Sooy
and the mar he killed were working to,
gether on the narrow-gauge railroad near
Cranberry. They quarreled as to which
should assist the woman to mount her
horse, and in the heat of the disputs
Sooy pulled his pistol and killed his com
panion. He was tried at Elizabethton in
March, 1884. and sentenced to Tyears.
The case of William Ramsey, for the
killing of Vol. Clarke, near Rankin's De.
pot. Cooke County, in 1882, was affirmed,
Ramsey and Clarke were hunting and
quarreled about a dog. Ramsey shot
Clarke, and on the same day attempted
suicide with a pistol. The bah uttered
his face, passing in front of the skull.
He lost his eyesight, and is now ston,
blind. He was arrested on an indictmen'
for murder and his counsel obtained q
change Of venue to Hamblen county. H,
was tried at Morristown, found guilty
Of murder in the second degree and sen
fenced to ten years Imprisonment in thu
p~enitentiary, a verdict which the Su
preme Court has refused to set aside,
The verdict in the case of the Hoart
brothers and Robert Kite, convicted a
G~reeneville and sentenced to death TO
the murder of Mrs. Carrie Hunter il
February, 1884, was reversed and a new
trial ordered, upon the ground of error
in ruling by the lower court.

A SECRET.
A ST. Louis Undertakes Expects His BUSH
ness 10 Revive Soon.

moss 10 Revive Soon.
A reporter who recently interviewed a
st. Louis undertaken was told that he
expected to have some profitable funerals
soon. He said: 1.-THE rich men die in
winter and poor men in summer. As
winter is coming on it follows naturally
that we will have the remains Of people
belonging TO rich families to bury.
When l say that the rich die in winter
and the poor in summer, | am prepared
TO give my reasons for that assertion. In
the summer time rich men, as a rule, take
it easy, They keep in the shade, and
spend their time at summer resorts, where
they ret plenty Of fresh air. Poor people,
on the other hand, remain at home. They
work in the sun, live in Easements and
hot rooms, and enervate themselves until
they take sick and die. tits a well-known
fact that poor people, as q rule, have
more children than rich people, and 1t is
also a well known fact that the mortality
among children is greater during the
summer months than at any season OF the
year. Men who work on high walls, rs
brickmasons, men who clean the streets,
and tcamsters, as well as others who are
exposed to the hot rays of a midsummer
sun, are poor men, as a rule, who are
compelled TO work the year round for
their daily bread. Rich men die in the
winter because they are subject to dang
ers they take no precaution to avoid.
I Poor men suffer from exposure, yet their
very hardships fit them for the sudden
changes of the weather, which are al.
most constantly occurring. Rich people,
wearing furs and heavy %overcoats, crowd
into overheated and badly ventilated
theaters. When they come out they catch
their death of cold. Rich people indulge
in greater excuses in winter than in sum
mer. They attend more balls and wine
parties and lose more sleep in cold than
in warm weather. There are many other
reasons for the fact stated to you, but 1t
is hardly worth while to enumerate them
here. Suffice it is to say that the under
takers have nearly all Of their best pay.

Falling In Love with a sisters Schoolmate
Through Her Letters.
A marriage recently celebrated at At
lanta, Ca, between Miss Matte Keasey,
the daughter Of a prominent tea merchant
of Chicago, and Mr.. M. G.. Lyle, a
wealthy merchant of Morristown, Tenn,
is full of romantic incidents. Five years
ago Miss Keasey's parents lived in Allan
ia, and she was sent to Athens, Tenn, to
be educated at n female college. There
she met Miss Alice Lyle. The young
ladies soon became fast friends, and read
each others correspondence. Finally,
they both graduated, and returned to
their respective homes, but kept up an
interchange of letters. Three years ago
Miss Keasey's parents left Atlanta for
Chicago, and about the same time Miss
Lyle left home to 60 as missionary to AT.
RIGA, but their correspondence continued.
Miss Lylc's letters suddenly ceased.
Thinking that her friend had changed
her ~postoflice, Miss Keascy wrote to M.
G. Lyle, asking where his sister could be
addressed. About the same time Lyle
received the announcement that his sister
was dead, and notified Miss Kcascy of the
fact. This provoked q letter of condo
lencc from Miss Keasey, and several
weeks after the m%issionary's trunk was
returned from Africa, in which was
found Miss Kcasey's letters to Miss Lyle
OF course, the brother communicated the
fact to Miss Keasey, and she answered it
This was the beginning Of a correspon
dence which resulted in an interchang,
of photographs, and finally an engage
mcnt. Two weeks ago Miss Keasey ant
Mr.. Lyle met for the first time. Yester
day they were married by the Rev. DR.
Eddy, and left for Morristown, Tenn.
