Man and His Daughter Run Into BY a
Train and Seriously injured.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
FRANKLIN, October 13.-Last night as j.
G. Dawson and his daughter, aged 16 years,
were crossing the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad track two miles east of
this city in wagon, they were struck by an
accommodation train and SO terribly in
jured that they will probably die. The
horse was killed and the wagon was reduced
to kindling wood.
At the point where the accident occurred
the above road runs parallel with that of the
Erie Railway. Mr.. Dawson saw a train ap-
preaching on the latter road and drove his
horse on the Lake Shore tracks to avoid 1t.
He failed to heed the warning of the en-
gineer or observe the train approaching
until it was too late to escape. He was
caught on the cow-catcher and carried
several yards and then thrown over an en-
bankment, receiving terrible injuries. His
daughter was thrown some distance, but
was not hurt as badly as her father, and
may recover.

FOR A PICTURE OF MOSES
An Artist Selects Photograph of General
Pixies Head.

Pixies Head.
Washington Post.i
The picturesque figure of the venerable
General Albert Pike, who was in carriage
with other grand officers of the Templars in
the parade, attracted considerable attention
yesterday, and one of the grand officers tells
an interesting story about the Generals
striking head. "a Canadian priest" said
he. desired model for a plaster represen-
tation of Moses. He had searched for a
long time in his own and other countries,
and had never seen anything approaching
his ideal. Not long ago, however, he was
in New York, and in passing along Broad
way he spied full-length photograph of
General Pike displayed in one of the photo
grapher's windows. He did not know
whose picture it was, but determined to Sc
cure it at once, and did so.''
Another story about General Pike, which
is vouched for by the best authority, is that
a Chicago artist recently took one of the
pictures of the head OF the Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rites to make a paint
ing of one of the saints to send to the Pope
to Rome.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
LOUISIANA, KY, October 13.-Martha
Seward. good looking woman about 30
years old, was convicted of moonshining Sat-
urday in the United States District Court.
Her home was in little cabin high up In
the hills, and some of her friends and rela-
tlves conducted secret distillery in the
forest near by. To Martha was entrusted
the task of selling the liquor. She took
jugs of it away every day and peddled it
throughout the county, doing a prosperous
business.
Deputy Marshals heard that such traffic
was being carried on, but for long time
they could not ascertain who was selling the
liquor. A customer finally betrayed Martha,
and the officers seized her when she had the
whisky in her possession.

DANv1LLE, September 3.-The funeral
Of Decatur Jones, Of Bachelors Hall,
took place to-day. Mr.. Jones was
a splendid old man and WAS uni
verselly beloved and respected as
a Christian gentleman. He had been a
member OF the Methodist Church for
fifty years. He was one OF the pioneers
in the manufacture of tobacco in this
section. and his old factory is still
standing. Most of bis sons are
still in the tobacco business. and he also
has a grandson in this city-Mr. ID. j.
Holcombe- who is one of the most sue
ccssful young tobacconists III Danyille.
Mr.. Jones married a daughter of Cap
tain John Keen, another distinguished
man in this section. and the aged couple
celebrated their golden wedding in Janu-
airy last AS already stated he leaves a
widow and eleven grown children, and a
number of grandchildren and great
grandchildren, and he is tho first Of the
family to die.
DR.. George b. Eager, OF the Baptist
church, has positively decided to accept
a call to Admission. His church-mem-
bers here tried in every way to induce
him TO remain. but the Doctor decided
that duty called him to the new field
and he could not be shaken in his pur-
pose. No preacher has ever served a
Danyille congregation who was more
generally esteemed and beloved than
DIR. Eager. He is scholar OF high at
tainments, a man OF gentle, courteous
manners, and a preacher OF excellent
ability. Not only the Baptists, but peo-
pie of all denominations have learned to
like him, and there is general regret that
he has decided to make his home in
another field.

CoLUMBIA, Va, September, 1889,
The valley of the James Is scene Of
devastation from Lynchburg to Rich
mond. and the same may be said OF the
Rivanaa and other tributaries. The
farmers in these valleys have not been in
such straits since the war. Instead OF
having corn and provender for sale. with
an exception here and there they will
have to buy supplies for both man and
beast, and what is worse than all the
land was 80 secured by the late floods
that many acres are rendered worthless
for agricultural purposes know OF one
farmer who expected, with good season,
TO make 800 barrels Of corn who will be
fortunate If he gets twenty five, and he
is one OF many III like straits.
The political caldron horeabouts is
not bubbing up yet, but will in the near
future be at the boiling point. From
indications recently shown 1t is quite
doubtful whether the Little Boss will
he able to rally all his sable followers to
the rescue in the coming election. There
is strong talk among them OF boiling
the ticket, though 1t will not do for
the Democrats to put faith III these indi-
cations, as the negro is very uncertain
quality IN political matters.
