SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE II & 8.
Twelve SIen Injured by a Collision Of
Freight Cars,

A bad accident occurred near Mar
tinsville on the Roanoke and South
ern road about ) O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon.
The particulars of the affair as we
gained them this morning are as fol-
lows:
A fat car loaded with heavy bridge
timber for the road was placed on a
siding at Martinsville and breaks
were applied in order to secure it
from moving Tuesday, however,
several boys got up on the car and
by some means loosened the breaks.
This caused the car to start Off on
the road leading out from Martins
vile. Owing to the fact that it was
a heavy down grade the car was soon
running at almost lightning speed.
When about two miles beyond
MartinsvilIe Engineer Wathes, who
was running the construction train,
composed of FIVE cars, saw the car
coming. His engine was behind
the empty cars and he was running
backwards. He at once realized the
danger ahead and reversed his en-
CINE. By so doing his engine broke
loose from the cars. Tie latter,
however, continued to run on until
they collided with the car that was
meeting them. They ran into one
another with terrific force and the
result was every man on the fat con-
struction cars We're thrown off in
every direction. The heavy bridge
timber was also scattered broadcast,
several pieces of which bounced be-
yond the engine.
AS soon as the cars were stopped
it was soon ascertained that there
were twelve wounded men by the
accident, besides everybody else vas
terribly frightened.
We were unable to learn the
names of but three OF the twelve
who sustained painful injuries. These
were Conductor T. J. Whitehead,
and two foremen, Gordon Gerry and
A. B. Gibson. The other nine are
not regular employees of the road,
hence their names were not learned
by our informant.
A telegram from Martinsville this
morning stated that all the injured
men were getting along very we'll.
It is considered quite fortunate in
such an accident that the damages
were not really worse than they
were.
The act Of Engineer Mathes in
reversing his engine at the time he
did is now considered very wise, hes
pecially so by the engine breaking
loose from the cars.

The Nleancst Man.

If we were asked to say who we
thought was .he meanest man in
any community we would answer
that it was the fellow who was al
ways indulging in some unkind re-
marks about some one, and when We
say some one we mean any and every
one that chances to brave his basilisk
eye,or pass in review before the mon
ster. The lawyer with his brain
graphing difficult problems in legal
lore feels his hot kissing breath as
he traduces his profession. The
Doctor with learning and experience
feels the cauterizing cuts of this
moral monster, while the preacher
in his pulpit or at his prayers is not
spared. The characters of the viz
tuous and innocent feel the wither
ing blight of his foul breath. The
honest citizens motives are miscon-
strued and are twisted to suit the
depraved mind of this depraved
wretch. No one escapes his unli-
censed tongue. Do you know him 2

fact he sees nothing bright nor beat
tiful in this world; charity has no
place in his wicked heart. Like a
snake he crawls around in the dank 4,
dark weeds of discomfort, and like a
snake the world has never yet dis
covered for what use he was created.
He hunts for the dark spots in hu-
man character and if he cannot find
them sufficiently black he paints
them SO with the vile drippings Of
his envenomed tongue.
Flung from tho orbit OF all human
virtues he stands out an isolated ob

tired and loathing. Let him stand,

BUSINESS IMPROVING.
II. g Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade-Business Failures.

Dur s. Company's weekly trade
review says:
The general business of the coun-
try does we'll with gradual improve
ment in nearly all branches, based
on the actual increase of demand
from the farming States. 1t may be
doubtful whether there has ever
been a more cautious and conserva-
tive feeling prevalent, at time
when the prospect of a large trade
is bright land in scarcely any branch
is there seen disposition to venture
upon strong speculative purchases.
Stocks of goods carried over, have
been large for the year, and dealers
are admonished by full list of flu
position to purchase only what it is
certain consumers will require, that
many trades appear hesitating and
almost dull. Yet the volume of bus
mess is probably as large as ever be-
fore at midsummer. Collections are
not generally good, and there is
more than the usual complaint, but
the rush of harvesting and other
temporary causes explain much Of
the delay.
money is rlSnI at many OOuChern
points, and collections are some
what slow.
The Treasury has put out $1,7O0,-
900 more than 1t has taken in during
the week, and the failure to obtain
for extension a large part of the
four-and-a half per cent bonds seems
likely to oblige the Treasury to dis
burse large sums for the remaining
bonds on September 1st. Money
tends to ease at Boston; is in brisk
demand at northwestern points, but
easy for legitimate business at Chi
cagO.
THE WEEKS FAILURES.
Business failures occurri ing
throughout the country during last
week number for the United States,

A Lynchburg special says: One of
the boldest robberies ever perpetra-
ted occurred Saturday morning on
the Norfolk and Western railroad
just before or when the Western train
reached this city. Among the pas
sengers on the east-bound Norfolk
and Western train were two men and
Il woman-all white-who got on the
train at Roanoke. Shortly after the
train arrived Conductor Gill, who
was in charge, found that tin box
in which he, like other conductors,
kept his tickets and money, was miss
ing. He reported the matter to Capt.
Wright, night station master, and
Mr.. George Leftwich, station officer.
The two men and the woman had
remained in the depot, saying they
intended to take the south bound
train. just after the train arrived
one of the men and the woman arose
from their seats and started to the
train. On the way out the man
handed the box to the woman, who
secreted it under her shawl or cape.
The officer promptly stepped up and
put both under arrest. The other
man was then nowhere to be seen.
Mr.. Leftwich took his prisoners to
the station-house, where the man
gave his name as Robert Westmore-
