There has been a second strike on
the Potts railroad, and it took place
Saturday last. Mr.. Potts seems to be
determined to run the road to suit his
notions. Accordingly he notified the
superintendent to reduce the number
of men on each train, and reduce the
wages of all the employees. The SUI
perintendent answered by sending in
his resignation, and then every man
on the road quit work. Consequently
business on that road was completely
suspended. Mr.. Potts is reported to
have said that he will keep the road
closed until next April unless he can
run it to suit himself The principal
business of the road is hauling logs,
and Mr.. Potts is said to be so situat-
ed that it is not necessary for him to
have the road in operation for some
months. We are of the opinion that
he will have no difficulty in getting a
crew at his own terms when he wants
them. No protective tariff on labor.
During the fog Friday night last
the steamer Quingal and the schooner
Constitution discovered the reef that
lays southeast of Middle Island. They
found it very extensively, and one of
them went on so hard that she was
four feet further out of water than
was usual with her when loaded. One
of the officers came to this port for
help, and engaged the propeller Gar
den City and the tug Ralph to go to
the assistance of the stranded vessels.
Both steamers went promptly to the
place where the crafts were on the
rocks, but they were too hard on to
be pulled off without lightering.-
They were loaded with coal, and after
large amount of their cargoes had
been thrown overheard, the two ves-
sells were released from their perilous
position. Both of the stranded vessels
are reported to have been got aAoat
uninjured. Good service was render
ed by the Middle Island life saving
crew.

A serious accident occurred Tuesday at
Pine Barren, about p miles above Pensa-
cola, on tho Louisville and Nashville rail
road. A car of lumber was being switched
from tho mill ana John Hughes, who was
employed as brakeman on the train stepped
between two cars TO make coupling. The
connection was made in good shape, but
when Hughes attempted 60 jump from be-
tween The cars he was unable to do SO as his
foot had become caught between two boards
that were spiked % the track. The train
kept moving slowly back, and Hughes,
after making several unsuccessful attempts
to escape from his perilous position began
to hollow. His cries attracted the atten-
ton of bystander who at once waved the
train down, and Engineer Martinez re-
versed his engine and came to a standstill
almost Immediately But he was just a
second TOO late. The brake beam had
caught the unfortunate mans leg and it
was broken in two places between the ankle
and knee joint.
