Gen. ]. I. Wilder.

No one knows better than johnson
City people what Gen. Wilder has
done and is doing for this town and
section. He is not only willing, but
what is more important, is capable of
doing more for the development Of a
section than any man i'll the South.
He has done his part in building up
East Tennessee and Johnson City in
particularand the people recognize and
appreciate his abilities and untiring
energy exerted in our behalf and are
pleased to call him "our citizen" The
Athens Post speaks the truth when it
says If East Tennessee had more
such men as General Wilder the waste
places would soon be made glad and
the dessert blossom as the rose. He is
to-day doing more for the develop
ment and upbuilding OF East TenAes-
see than any twenty men combined
who can be named The three C's
road, leading from Charleston Harbor
to Chicago, is conception OF his, and
it is due to his indsfatigablc energy
and determination that the work is
now being hurried all along the line,
and assurance OF early completion is
given. When the magnitude OF this
road is considered and its great i'm
portance to the vast extent Of
bounteously rich country it traverses
is weighed, something of the work
Gen. Wilder has been doing can be
seen.-But this is not all At Johnson
City he has planted the foundations
OF a grand city, where depots, hotels,
blast furnaces, and other great enter
prises are under way and where the
population is increasing with marvel
GUS rapidity. Wilder is Presi-
dent of the Carnegie Land Company,
and as such as we'll rs in his indivi-
dual capacity, gives substantial en-
couragement to every new enterprise
seeking . location in that quarter.
At another time we intend to give
our readers detailed statement con-
corning Johnson City and Carnegie
and their surroundings and the NUM-
ficent and magnificent work of Gen.
Wilder is doing for that section, for
East Tennessee, and so for all the
South.

Bristol and Elizabothton are soon
to be connected by a railroad if we
can believe r1mor and it is natural to
suppose that Bristol people will build
the road in order to build up Eliza
bethton. If Elizabsthton don't look
out she might get hold of the wrong
end of the syphon. We have told
you.
There are great things in store for
Bristol. An iron furnace is soon to
be commenced there and they are
guaranteed coking coal and iron ore
over the Three C's and Atlantic &
Danville via Johnson City. What
more could they wish as it is impossi-

A Collision.

The west bound overland mail
train, No. 4, collidel yesterday morn
ing with light engine and some cars
loaded with ties on Lucin side track,
just beyond the Nevada and Utah
line, between Terrace and recoma.
The light engine had backed in on
the siding to let No. pass, and had
neglected to throw the switch back
on the main track. The overland
train was running about thirty-five
miles an hour when it struck. The
engines and several freight, express
and baggage cars were badly de-
molished. Fred Sheedy, fireman on
the light engine, had an arm broken
and severe scalp wound. Mr.. and
Mrs. Evans, Of Detroit, Michigan,
Miss Nina Lane, a Mr.. johnson, OF
Los Angeles, and Mr.. Sears, of San
Francisco, received cuts and bruises
about the head by being thrown
against their berths. Two drummers,
named Levy and Louden, also re-
ceived slight bruises, though fortu-
nately none were seriously injured.
DR.. Meigs was summoned and went
up to the scene of the accident, rem
dered medical assistance to the in
jured and accompanied them to
Sacramento, the train arriving here
at $50 last night.

For State Sena tor.

Many of the good people OF Elko
county think that as Elko county is
represented in the highest branch Of
our Legislature by one edi:or it
would be good plan to make even"
bv sending another; and hence the
announcement elsewhere in this issue.
@. w. Grover has been resident of
the county for more than ten years,
but as to his qualifications for the
position we have nothing TO say. The
people know him, and if they choose
to send him to the State IIegislat ure
he can only promise that he will do
what he can for the interests of the
State in general, and Elko county
particularly. With no further pledges
than the above he submits his name
to the consideration of his party Con-
vention, with the assurance in add
vance that no exceptions will be taken
to the action Of that body should it
see fit in its wisdom to select better
man for the position of State Senator.
