A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Mr.. Westley DeKnIght Run over
and Frightfully Mangled by a Con-
structlon Train.
A most terrible accident befeI Mr..
Westly DeKnight, a well known citi-
zen of this city, yesterday, in which
his body was so badly mangled as to
be deemed necessarily fatal. About IL
o'clock Mr.. Tom Burk, a well'known
young bar keeper, who is now out of
employment, met Mr.. DeKnight near
the corner Of Grove and Washington
streets, when the proposition
was made to 60 to the
Fair Grounds. They went to Priel's
saloon and there took a drink which
was all they took up to the time of the
accident. They left there and walked
up the cemetery road stopping at
various points to convels Sc with passers-
by and were leisurely making their
way along when they reached Curphey's
saw mill boat. When abreast Of this
boat they passed several colored PEG.
pie to whom they spoke, and
something said to them caused
them to laugh very loudly.
They had passed a few rods further
when they were attracted by shouts
from some n saying "iook out there"
Burk says he turned to look and saw
the tender Of an engine backing up on
him and within six feet Of him. He
was On the river side and jumped down
the hill. Wesley was on the hill side,
and there being four or
five foot embankment on that
side he though that he attempted
to get off on that side. and fearing
there was not room for him to miss
the cars on that side had attempted to
o over to the side where he Burk
had gone, when the tender knocked
him down and the wheels struck his
right thigh and leg crushing and
mangling the same most frightfully
but failed to sever the same from the
body or cut the femToal artery
then catching the left foot had
mashed 1t also badly. When the
train stopped the railroad men
pulled his mangled and almost
lifeless form from under the wheels,
and it was found that his right thigh
was only hanging by feshy strings.
Drs. Brisbane and Quin were soon
summoned and placed him under the
influence of sedatives, and he was
taken to his home on Main street. His
condition was such last evening that
the doctors did not think it necessary,
or safe to amputate his legs, as it was
thought he could not survive the
night. He is a river freight clerk by
occupation, and has a wife and two
children.

Look at the public schools we are taxed
to support and you know that more
Of this tax money goes to support col
ored schools than for the white schools.
We charge that most Of the men now
in Office in the county by your vote are
not faithful to duty, that they are
using their offices not according to law,
that they are specializing in the war
rants of the county, thereby depressing
their value at the expense of the peo-
pie. Again, you are living on the
farms of the white people. They give
you a home, lease you land, and most
of these white people mortgage their
homes SO that they can buy you mules,
plows and provisions to enable you to
make a crop to support your fami-
lies, and encourage you all they an.
You come to US for help you get it;
you ask us for advice about planting
and the best way for you to make
crops you get it willingly; for advice
about your family affairs you get it;
we furnish you with medicines when
sick and stand for you with the doctor
when needed and in every way com-
fort and assist you all we can, and
strange to say, is it not indeed wonder
full, after %con6ding in us in every way
and form, and yet in political matters
you have permitted yourselves to be
taught and led not to act with US? If
you owe debt Of gratitude to any
body does 1t not seem reasonable that
you rather owe it to those who are in
fact your real true friends and not to
those who only wish your support at
the ballot box in order to feather their
nests. Have not the scales fallen
from your eyes? What evidence do
you want yet to convince you that you
have been struggling against your best
friends, against your own interests,
against fate and Gods decree? Come
then now in your golden opportunity
to show that you are worthy of the
suffrage given you, that you can in the
future act like men in maintaining
the right cause and be not like dumb
driven cattle hither and thither at the
beck and nod of political adventures.
You will stand and prosper or fall &C.
cording to your abilities to perceive
and accept, or refuse the great OPP
portunity given you. Rally then to
the cause of honesty and efficiency,
and you will bless the day that this
conviction of your duty dawned upon
you.
