trial of Samuel ]. Taylor in the county

A carriage, drawn by spirited horse,
and heavily loaded team, while passing
each other on Tenth street near Orange,
Friday afternoon, collided, causing
the carriage to upset and the horse to run
away. The occupants were thrown out
but escaped with only few bruises. The
horse ran as far as Ninth and Market,
where he fell and was secured. The
single-tree of the carriage was broken
and one of the hind wheels demolished.

will Il Be the Priscilla or Another
Pnrilan


The contract for the building of Gen.
Paines new large sloop yacht will prob
ably be closed this week and. according
TO an eastern yachtsmnn, lit is with this
new craft that the Eastern Yacht Club
propose TO defend the America Cup
against the Galatea next season-it being
now generally conceded that only Puri-
tans Gun successfully defend this cup"
Other Eastern yachtsmen will join Gen.
Paine in the building of this new big
sloop and, in view of the Galatea's record
and the performance of the Genesta in
these waters last season, the opinion in
this city by expert racing yachtsmen that
Boston'snext representative for yacht rae
ing honors will not bevery severely taxed.
She will be fully as long as the cutter
Galatea and all Improvements in rig,
model and construction which have been
suggested by the experience that Eastern
yachtman have had with the Puritan will
be incorporated in her design.
II seems likely at the present time that
General Paine's new sloop may have to
meet the iron sloop Priscilla, in order to
determine which is the better craft, and if
the Priscilla should be improved-as
many people think she can be-by some
trifling alterations to her rig, there prom
ises to be some exciting trial conterts next
season, and such contests if sailed will be
of more value to the art and science Of
yacht naval architecture than any races
sailed with crafts like the Galatea possibly
can be.
1t is likely, too, that one or more "big
sloops" will be brought out next year,
besides the Boston craft, to contest for
the honor of defending the cup. The
building of these yachts will be decided
upon as soon as the New York Yacht Club
appoints its committee to take charge of
the races. Several models are already
made in this city for thisspecial purpose,
and at least two we'll l-known yachtsmen
have signifed their intention of entering
the lists with yachts designed and built
by practical men. The stimulus that the
sport of yacht racing has received in this
country by the visit last year of the cutter
Genesta will be seen and felt in many
different ways and shapes before the close
of next year's Yachting season.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 31.--A tele-
phone message was received from Leba-
non, Tenn, at an early hour this morn
ing, saying disastrous fire had broken
out in the centre of the town, and asking
for aid from this city. Engines were
forwarded by special train. There is no
telegraph office at Lebanon, and telephone
connection cannot now be had owing
probably to the Office being burned.
Though the town is 80 miles from here,
the light of the flames was distinctly seen
at the time. No further information has

The empress of Austria in one of her
freakish moods, conceived the idea of sur
prising the German emperor at Gastein
the other day by visiting him immediat ely
after his arrival there, without giving any
notice of her coming. The idea had to be
carried out amid downpour of hail and
sleet, and it Is probable the still be autiful
empress regretted the prank, as she found
the poor old fellow amusing himself in
an DID, faded suit-of clothes, quite unfit to
receive a lady in, and was afterward
vexed that she exposed him to the humil-
iation of being caught without the trap
pings which help to conceal the wretched
wreck which ninety years make Of kings
as other men. But the old emperor got
gayly over the surprise, chatted pleas
antly for an hour, and accompanied the
empress to the top of the staircase, where
he CALAMITY kissed her hand several times
and stood bowling while she descended.
The following day, tricked out in his
best style, the emperor attempted to catch
the empress equally unprepared to receive
him; but her majesty, woman-like, con-
jectured what would happen, and was
ready to do the honors of receiving in ir-
reproachable costume. The above uncon-
ventional interchange of compliments
was foil owed in couple of days by q
grand dinner party given by the emperor,
who was in the highest spirits and played
the gallant to the empress and other nota-
bic ladies who were present, kissing their
hands frequently with much fervor. The
interchange of affection between the two
emperors was not so attractive picture.
Francis Joseph confined himself to kiss
ing his brother monarch several times
with great fervency, but the German en-
peror added weeping to the osculatory ex-
ercise and leaked freely down the back
seams of the Austrian emperor's coat
