Yesterday boy sat upon the tail
end of an express cart going up Market
street, between Eighth and Ninth, while
horse car on the street railway fol-
lowed close behind. Suddenly the boy
jumped off, but his feet slipped and
down he went, fiat on his back. The car
horses were almost upon him, but with
rare presence of mind he at once rolled
over and over, and cleared the track
just in the nick Of time, to the great re.
lief of many spectators, who feared he
would be killed, as it was impossible for
the car driver to stop in time, although
he tried hard to do so. The boy rose to
his feet, picked up his hat, which the
car had passed over, and ran away I'M
hurt. But it was q mighty close shave.

are Likely to Win the Contest.
Associated Press DISPATCH by Special Wires
NASHVILLE, TENN, July PA Knox
vile special sent at an early hour this
morning says: At midnight the troops
were still in camp on the campus Of the
State University. Brigadier-general Carnes
has 500 men in command awaiting march
ing orders. Excitement in Knoxville is
quieting down as the night wears away,
but it is feared it is only calm before the
storm.
The general impression is prevalent that
the governor will come here this morning
and that some compromise will either be
effected between him and the committee of
miners, or that the troops will be sent i'm
mediately to the scene OF the disturbance.
The only way in which the matter can be
compromised now, it seems is for the
lessees TO withdraw the convicts. The
policy of the miners, as outlined by a
member of the committee to correspond
ent Is about as follows;
If troops are sent to the miners in suf-
ficient number to give the miners a real
good battle they will simply wait until
they leave, then once more put the con-
yicts on the train and send them back here.
If the troops are few in number this will
be done Immediately. If, however, any
of the ringleaders are arrested the miners
say they will externlinate the troops.
