Clarksville's Cordiality.

The Nashville Banner of Saturday
says Clarksville is big place. There
are larger cities and more p0pulous
centers of activity, but there is no
where to be found finer community
of people. This is the unanimous
sentiment of the ex-Confederates who
were so handsomely entertained there
Thursday at the reception given by
the Forbes Biyouac to the invited
bivouacs from other parts of this State
and Kentucky. Clarksville is pros
porous and promising city, noted for
its enterprise and culture, which has
not yet reached that metropolitan
and cosmopolitan stage of develop
ment when hospitality becomes a
glittering generality and the hotel
becomes the easy and convenient sub
stitute for the home. Clarksville is
imbued with the progressive spirit
and takes a natural pride in her com
mercial advantages, yet it is still a
city of homes. The doors Of these
homes were thrown wide open Thurs
day and the visitors were received
with cordial and hearty welcome.

A Printers Wedding.
runs.

The Louisville Commercial records
the wedding of Mr.. Ben d. Farmer
on Thursday last to Mrs. Lizzie Far
mer, of Elizabethtown, Ky. The
groom will be remembered as foreman
of the Tobacco Leaf for few months
last Spring, and his wedding is the
elimination of what was thought to
have been a fatal separation between
man and wife, as the bride had Sc
cured a legal separation. But the
old devotion still fingered in Ben
Farmers honest heart, and about two
months ago he visited his wife and
children, when happy reconciliation
occurred, which brought about a new
wedding. The BRIDES brother and
several other relatives were present
at Alexander's Hotel when Rev. DR..
Perkins, of st. PauPs Church, admin
istered the ceremony.

GREENWOOD AVENUE RAILROAD;
It Wont be Constructed Under the stip-
ulations. Says President Shelton.

Late last Saturday afternoon the
committee appointed by the County
Quarterly Court last Monday, rode
out in carriages, accompanied by Col.
John +. Shelton, to view the proposed
route oft Greenwood Avenue Street
Railroad. During the ride a good
time was enjoyed, and after returning
to the city the committee made its
report, but it was so complicated with
restrictions and exactions from the
railroad company that President Shell
ton decided to abandon the project
and the road will not be constructed
along that route. The idea, however,
of reaching Greenwood Cemetery and
the proposed new park with the street
cars has not been abandoned, as Col.
Shelton is looking around to see if
another route as equally acceptable
to the public as Greenwood avenue
cannot be secured, and if found the
work of construction will be COM
menced this Fall. One thing is GER
tain, and that Is, that if the road is
built it will be the cause in year or
two of building up new city along
its route, no matter which way it
runs.

RAILROAD DISASTER.
PASSENGER AND FREIGHT TRAIN
ON THE B. q o. COLLIDE.
The Former Running Fifty Miles an
Hour-rhres Trainmen Killed and
Six Injured.
All the Passengers Escape Senator
voorhees, and Postmaster Dalton
Were Passengers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Gin
cinnati & st., Louis express, which
left the Baltimore & Ohio station in
this city at 1o:45 o'clock last night,
collided with an east-bond freight
train from Martinsburg, W.. Va,
near Dickerson, killing three train
men and injuring six Others. By al
most miracle the passengers all es-
capped uninjured, A mile west of
Dickerson Station the road makes a
sharp turn and then goes down a
heavy grade in deep cut, the banks
being twenty feet or more above the
level of the tracks. Around this
curve this train dashed just before
midnight and began its descent,
gathering momentum each second.
The freight train, which had orders
| to remain on switch at Tuscaroora,
one mile beyond, until the express
passed, had few minutes before left
the switch and was slowly toiling up
grade. Suddenly there was flash
of headlight, and the trainmen OF
the two engines were appalled, at the
looming disaster, which they imme-
diately saw could not be averted'
Two engines were almost upon each
other and the engineers saw that
nothing could be done, as it was use
less to apply the brakes.
"gUMP, BOYS"
shouted Engineer j. e. Welsh, o.
the freight train, as he sprang from
his cab to the side of the track; but
his fireman, j. B. Viets, had no time
to get from ais place at the furnace
and George Ridenbaugh, brake
man, who was also on the engine
was also paralyzed with fear that h'
was unabied to heed the engineer
warning. j. w. Hand, fireman OF
the passenger train, jumped and es
capped uniniured. In an instant th'
two engines came together with sucl
force that they stood locked togethe
on the track, and formed base upoi
which was piled in confusion a pyra
mid twenty feet high, consisting G
three wrecked freight cars, the mai
car and baggage car. These car
acted as a buffet for the passenge
! coaches attached to the Western
bound express, and, though the pas
sengers were violently thrown foi
ward, they
ALL ESCAPED UNINJURED.
The passengers Immediately set t
work to extricate the train men froi
the debris, and a wrecking train
arriving a few hours later, assisted i
the work.
At5o'clock this afternoon the trac
was not yet free Of debris, althoug
the men had been, gotten out.
Senator VOORHEES, and Postmastt
Dalton, of the House of Represent;
tives, were on the train on their VIA
to Indiana.

THE COMBINE OFF.
The Two Birmingham Dailies to Go it
Alone.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Oct. 7.--At a
late hour last night the meeting of
the directors of the Age and Herald
adjourned, and it was announced
that no consolidation would
be made. 1t seems that both
companies wanted the earth and full
ness there of, and at the last moment
they failed to agree on basis of con-
solidation of the two papers. They
will now proceed to fight it out if it
takes all winter. AS the field is far
too small for two morning papers
both have been and will doubtless
continue to lose money.

The Hopkinsville New Era says:
The Clarksville CHRONICLE has re-
sumed the publication of an evening

creditable one, and the New Era

Paid Anarc hists.

LONDON, Jan. "A dispatch from
Berne, Switzerland. gives The following
particulars of the arrest at Zurich,
Of Heupt and Schroeder, the spies
sent to Switzerland by the German
police to incile The Swiss anarchists,
the information having been fur:
nished from the highest official
source. Both Heupt and Schroe.
der were known as ardent an.
archists, but the socialists OF Geneva
finally suApecting them Of treach'
cry, traced Heupt from Geneva
to Zurich where bOtl' he and Schroe.
der resided, and confronted one with
| the other. Heupt WINS met ut Zurich
by the socialists of his acquaintance
and Immediately marched to Schroe.
der's house which the escorting party
searched from top to bottom with the
result OF finding Il quantity OF dyna.
mite and u number Of letters from
Police Inspector Keruger, OF Berlin.
Both the explosive material and letters
were handed at once to Inspector
Fischer of the Zurich police.
Heupt's house was then searched
and u large number OF letters from Po-
lice Inspector Hucke Of Berlin, and
other damaging evidence OF his du-
plicity were found. Among the pa-
pers and documents found were u set
, Of accounts proving that Heupt had re-
ceived II salary Of 25O marks II month
from the German police since 1850,
aid had also been paid l4,OOO marks
lor extraordinary expenses within the
same period.
Both men we're committed to prison
charged with melting outrages against
life and property.
The immed iate employer Of Heupt
and Schroeder, is Won Ehrenberg for.
merly n captain in the German army,
Was also known to the Swiss socialists
us an ardent anarchist. Search was
ut once made for him, but he had been
varied and escaped to Carlsruhe. His
period Of liberty was cut short, howev-
er, for he was arrested by the German
authorities soon after his arrival at
Carlsruhe and taken TO Baden to un.
dergo IL sentence of courtmartial
passed upon him at that place some
years ago.
The Swiss police scout the idea sug.
gested that the dynamite found in
Schroeder's house was sent from Ber.
lin for the purpose of assassinuting the
Czar during his late journey from Co.
penhagen TO st. Petersberg. Should
an opportunity offer it is expected that
the dismissal or retirement of Inspec-
tors Kieuger and Hacke will be
deemed advisable, if not necessary.

"Our opposition TO Lamar is not due

We do not oppose him on any political
