Two trains collided on the broad
gauge railroad up Lookout Mountain
at Chattanooga last Tuesday evening.
A freight engine was going up, push
ing car load of ice in front of it, and
a passenger train was coming down.
with the tender in front, the engine
backing. The collision occurred near
the top of the mountain. The engi-
neer of the freight engine, seeing a
collision was inevitable, reversed his
engine and he and his fireman both
jumped from the cab. When the
collision occurred, the freight engine
broke loose from the car and started
down the mountain. AS the grade
is 100 feet to the mile, it soon gained
tremendous speed, which increased
at every revolution of the wheels.
1t kept the track for two miles down
the mountain, till it ran onto the
"switch-back," at the end of and in
the center of which was a large white
oak tree. 1t cut the tree off as
sharply as an AK could have done
and plunged on down the mountain
for some distance until it turned over.
Some of the train men and passengers
were slightly bruised, but no one was
seriously hurt.

LEADING business men of Knox
vile held an informal meeting last
Monday night and proceeded to dis
cuss and cuss the assessment law of
our last Legislature. Under this law
a stock company is taxed for the full
amount of its capital stock, and the
individual stockholders are also re-
quired to pay taxes on whatever
amount of the stock they may hold.
The Supreme Court has held the law
to be constitutional. The opinions of
the magnates of our Supreme
Court to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, no well balanced citizen can be
induced to believe that double taxa
ton is either constitutional or just,
and the question may figure prOmi-
nently in bringing about an extra
session of the Legislature. 1t is
very serious matter, and unless
some remedy is found, it will mate
rally retard industrial development
in the State. One taxation is about
as much as any enterprise in this
state can stand up under, and peo-
pie will not be in any rush to put
money into new ones if their taxes
are to be doubled thereby.

quite forcibly verified by the Lum-
herman. 1t had very small begin
ing some years ago, but by fine
business management and careful
editorial work it has risen to the
very front rank of trade publications
in the United States, and its steadily
increasing advertising patronage has
been followed by a corresponding
enlargement of its size. We believe
it is now the only publication in the

interests. 1t is indispensable to any

Tennessee virtually has no law for
the prevention of working children
in factories.-Lebanon Democrat.
Nor does it want any such law. If
ever you get any factories in your
town you will soon find out that such
a law would work great hardship
on many people. Without children's
labor many factories in Tennessee
could not be operated, and without
the wages received by children in
these factories many families would
be in poverty or on the charities ofthe
public. All this hullabaloo over
working children in factories is senti-
mental gush. The alleged philan-
thropists don't know what they are
talking about.

kitchen maid. Mrs. Steup, she says, told
her that she was a nice looking girl, and
would suit her purpose. 1t is claimed
that Mrs Steup has had several other

like manner. When Katie was telling her
story she cried, and said that she first

CHIEF FARRIER'S HOPES.
No Buffaloes and a Better System oi
Fire Alarms.

No Buffaloes and a Better System OF
Fire Alarms.
The effort of the Fire Commissioners to
do away with the present buffalo system
and make a paid Fire Department is a
move Chief Farrier has advocated for a
number of years. Jersey City is behind
the age, he thinks, for even Newark
month ago threw overheard the buffaloes
and substituted regulars.
There are at present 112 buffaloes in the
department, seven to each company.
These are men-at-call who receive the
pittance of SIS year. While some OF
them are conscientious attaches, others
visit a fire only iu time to report with the
rest on their return. 1t is impossible to
maintain discipline among men receiving
such meagre salaries. Besides, their ser
vices are required from the start. When
they receive the alarm from the big bell
they a"e obliged to foot it' to the scene
of the fire.
The project now on foot is to substitute
three regulars in the place of the seven
buffaloes in each company and make the
foremen permanent officers. In order 70
do this the Commissioners estimate That
the salaries, together with improvements
in the telegraph alarm, will require an
additional annual appropriation of about
$4,000. The expenses of the Department
during the past year reached SS2,90O. Inc
Commissioners have asked the Board OF
Finance for an appropriation for the com
ing year of S124, 200.
The telegraph alarm system at present
in use is an old-fashioned automatic con-
cern. 1t was erected in 1868, when the
city required only forty y-two boxes. The
citys growth during the past twenty
years has necessitated increasing the
number of boxes to 100 The firemen are

By Gable to the United Press
LONDON, June 81, 1SS9.-According to
the Dublin correspondent of the Stand
ard, the plantation scheme" organized
to oppose the plan of campaign is meet
ing with some success in Ireland.
This is an organized plan for settling
pom farms from which the tenants have
been evicted, and which are boycotted
under the plan of campaign) settlers
brought from Ulster for that purpose
This correspondent states that as a re-
suit of the operations of the plantation
scheme on the Masserene estate in Louth
the plan of campaign has been practically
abandoned, although started by Mr.. John
Dillon, M. p, in person, work for which
he spent several months in Dundalk Jail.
There were twenty-one tenants to be
evicted, but at the first house visited by
the Sheriff the tenant paid years rent
and pleaded for time to pay the balance.
There were no evictions carried out,
as the other tenants came forward in
the same way and made offers
which the agent accepted. 1t is
claimed that the promptness with
was due entirely to the fact that it was
known to them that arrangements
had been completed for giving over
all evicted farms to settlers from
Ulster ALI, therefore, paid substantial
sums by way of instalment of arrears and
they were allowed foreman in possession.
