Real War Scenes.
Comrades Wanted, to give Exhibitions
A splendid business opportunity.
During the great War of the Rebel

During the great War of the Rebel
lion, the U. S. Government author
lied Messrs. Gardner & Brady, (the
leading photographers of Washing
ton, to go with the Union armies and
photograph all of the interesting and
wonderful scenes sat the front. "
These artists were provided with the
best quality of cameras and remained with
thearmies in the field through theentire war.
The result of their four years labor was 0reT
SIC thousand actual photographs Of tCGl-
scenes. The photographers made two exeel-
lent . negatives F" Of each scene, thus seCur-
ing two complete sets of negatives OF this
wonderful collection. One set of these
negatives went into the archives of the
War Department at Washington, costing
the United States twenty-eight thousand
dollars. In the vaults ct the War Depart
ment this set is now treasured. The
fortunes of war threw the other set Of mega
tives into the control Of Comrades TAYLOR
& Huntington, No. , State Street, Hartford,
Conn, and now, 8 quarter Of q century
after the war, all of those thrilling scenes
are brought cut again, as accurate as a re-
Fiction in a mirror, faithfully preserved
through all the years by the grand art of
photography. Again can be seen, exactly
rs they looked then, the battlefelds, bat
teries, regiments, forts, picket-posts, Rebel
prisoners, hospitals, the wounded, the dead
on the battlefelds just as they fell, burial
details, burying the dead, the execution Of
a spy, and hundreds Of other scenes once so
familiar to us
The funny camp scenes were also taken:
cooking beans, the guard house, riding the
wooden horse, tossing up q darkey IN
blanket, in short, everything OF interest
was photographed and is now reproduced,

not uncommon for soldiers to pick out
their own pictures at the guns, or In the
trenches. These views make the most
interesting entertainments which can be
given to the public. The comrades above
named will appoint enterprising men to give
exhibitions in each State, Except Connec-
tieut, which territory they reserve for their
own use.) Any comrade or other reliable
person who would like TO undertake this
business is invited to call at above address,
and see the war views, or write to the same
address, enclosing stamps for descriptive
circular and terms. It is light, pleasant,
and profitable business, and pays better

leave forthwith brought her mistress grudg-

of the household. 1t was but a little time until
Mrs. Dixon became an enthusiastic convert.

Now, comrade let US have charity, and give
every comrade his due; likewise every army.
Each had its brave men, each its towards aud

and is the demand for spot cotton con-
tinues to exceed the receipts another
advance may be looked for in few days.
About l20 bales came in yesterday, the

ton bagging are being shipped out to the
country, and it will begin to show itself
on the market in few days.
Farmers report that the cotton fields
are rapidly growing white, and if the
dry, warm weather keeps up, and the
cotton is not held back, the receipts will
be unusually large next week.
The Alliance men, DIS rnle, are hold
ing their cotton until they can get cot
ton bagging to bale it in, and that is one
reason why the prices are tending up

TERRIBLE.
An Awful Railroad Accident
Near Knoxville
- which Some of That City's Most
prominent Citizens We're Killed.

One Of the most terrible railroad
wrecks OF this year of accidents, occur
red near Knoxville, Tenn Thursday
morning in which three people were al
most instantly killed and thirty-eigh,
injured, several fatally and mapv seri
ously.
The wrecked train was the first train
run on the Knoxville, Cum berland Gap
q Louisville Railroad, which had just
reached completion. Thursday was made
gala day on account of the completion
OF the road and the city council, board OF
pubic works, representatives of the
chamber OF commerce and other prom~
lnent officials and business men OF
Knoxville were invited to take a trip
over the road on the first regular train.
Everything went well until TWENTY.
two miles out from Knoxville, when in
passing crossing the train jumped the
track. Just beyond the crossing is a
trestle about thirty feet high, and before
the train could be stopped it struck the
trestle and went off turning bottom side
upwards. There were 56 persons on the
train out OF which Al were injured or
killed outright. Among them being
some Of the most prominent people Of
Knoxville.
The following is the lates.
kNcXvILLE, Aug 23-At noon to-day
lsham Young, chairman of the board of
public works, was reported dying. AL
dermen Barry and Hokenjess are both
thought to be fatally hurt. Edward
Barker. coal and lime dealer, has but
little chance for life. Engineer Charlt
Seymour, of the new road, had his lower
limbs badly. crushed and his life is
despaired Of. Fl. Schubert, proprietor
OF Schubert's Hotel, had both legs badly
fractured and is in dangerous condi-
ton. Lawyer H. ii. Taylor has fatal in
ternal injuries.
Business Of all kinds is practically
and the only thought is to
care for the dead dying and wounded.
Those hurt are among the leading citi-
zens, as all on board were representative
people inspecting the new road. A mass
memorial meeting has been called for
this afternoon.

EARLY COMPLETION.
l.. a. to Push the Huntsville IL rant

| Birmingham News.
1t is now generally believed that the
Louisville q Nashville people intend
not only to build to Tuscaloosa at one g.
but to push the Huntsville branch of the
Mineral road to an early completion
Such is the report in railroad circles
which is believed by many well inform
ed men. The same report is also cur
rent in Huntsville. From that city
comes the news that engineers have
been placed in the field agai n on the
Huntsville branch and are now locating
the line between Onconta, the present
northern terminus of the road, and
Huntsville distance Of about sixty or
seventy miles. Last year the line was
constructed from Boyles, five miles
from this city, northward, about forty
miles from Oneonia and has for some
time been in operation. AS it is now
there is no connection at its northerR
terminus and it is necessary for the line
to be finished to Huntsville.
A News reporter called at the office of
Consulting Engineer Fitzhugh this
morning but the gentleman was out Of
the city. AS is usually the case every
other official who was questioned about
the matter pleaded ignorance Such
moves are always made on the dead quiz
ct. The fact that the surveys are being
made makes it appear that the line will
surely be finished.
