SEVERE ACCIDENT.

This morning about 5 O'Clock, as
Mr., j, A. NJ. Smith, the College Hill
dairyman was crossing the Iron Noun
tain railroad tracks, an engine back
ing out from the round house, struck
his spring wagon, pushing II and him
self some fifty feet, tearing the wagon
to pieces and badly bruising him up.
lie was very fortunate in not being
killed-it was indeed narrow escape.
The two mules escaped unhurt as
they were clear Of the track when
the wagon was hit.
The railroad is clearly TO blame, as
cars obstructed the view of both the
engineer and Mr.. Smith, so that nei-
ther saw the danger, until it was too
late to prevent the accident. A heavy
damage suit will doubtless result. The
railroad employs day watchman, but
none at night. A watchmsn would
have averted the accident. We learn
that there is an ordinance requiring y
night watchman, as well as day man.
Gates should be put up on each side,
as in cities.
Mr.. Smith is good citizen and
popular dairyman, and we are glad he
escaped as lightly as he did, and trust
he will be able to be out again in
few DAYS.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.

News Of one of the most terrible
and siokening crimes known to the
criminal calender, reached this city
last night, direct from Paris, Texas,
where same was committed, at an
early hour yesterday morning. The
details Of the awful affair, as related
to us by a responsible person, who
was present in that city when the
devlish deed was committed, are as
follows: Some time since a well
known and popular peace officer of
Lamar county, Texas, had occasion to
arrest, on o serious charge, u negro
desperate known as Jack Simmons.
On trial the negro accused was con-
victed and sentenced to term Of inn
prisonment his time being out re-
Gently, the negro ex-convict returned
to that city He had been heard to
make threats against the officer, but
little.if any attention was paid there
to, until yesterday morning, when the
officers bright little daughter was
found to be missing from home.
Owing to the cbild's tender years,
search was instantly begun and in =
short time the fact was discovered
that the little one had been abducted
by this negro brute. The startling
news spread like wildfre and large
searching parties were hastily formed
and search for the stolen child began
in every direction. To the lot of one
of these parties fell the heart-rending
discovery which has bowed down
with the agony Of grief and horror
the hearts Of devoted parents and
stirred to It's greatest depths madden
cd passions ofan outraged community.
The fearful sight which met the hor-
rifed gaze of the finders WAS the
cruelty mutilated body of the once
bright and beautiful child, now cold
and silent In death, Drained by blow
from the murderous hand Of fiend
in human guise. At last reports the
entire community are up in arms,
securing the country far and wide for
the perpetrator Of the hellish deed.
Up TO this hour no trace of the de-
mon has been found, but the search
continues with undated fury, and a
few more hours is expected to tell the
tale.

A new brick baking machine Is to be noted
among the recent mechanical novelties. IL
Is q simple contrivance, consisting OF a table

moulds, joined together like pigeon
holes each mould is the size of a brick
which has been pressed but not baked, and
each has a cover so fitted as TO follow the
brick as it is shrinks. The bricks are take n
from the presses and placed in the moulds,
the cover adjusted, and the current turned
on. The IRON sides of the moulds form the
resistance - and the bricks are virtually
inclosed by walls of fire; The bricks having
shrunk to the proper size. the sinking covers
Of the Aoulds automatically turn off the
current, the baking is done, and the bricks
are dumped.
One OF the most Interesting series OF 'eX-
periments lately made in regard to the best
methods and principles TO be observed in the
construction of smoke-consuming or smoke
preventing arrangements, has been made by
Mr.. Sennett, the well known naval engineer.
His conclusions are that, first of all, an ade-
quate volume of air must always be injected
above the fuel; that the gases from the coal
aud the introduced air must be thoroughly
agitated; the gases from the coal after adj
mixture with the air should be depressed
and distributed in contact with the mean
descent mass of fuel; contact between the
gas from the coal and the boiler plates
should be prevented as much as possible
until after admixture with the injected air,
| adequate space being also provided for the
| expansion of the gases; when average coal
Is used, the volume of air injected upon the
| top of the fuel should be equal to AT least
one-half of the volume admitted through the
bars and, finally, considerably more steam
should be present in the furnace than can be
! obtained from the hydrogen of the coal. To
carry out these acquisitions, an apparatus
has been contrived, according TO which
| steam from the boiler is first superheated
and then passes to M injector; from tho
| latter the steam and air pass TO a DETECTING
plate JUST inside the fire door, and in this
| way the current is completely distributed
/! over the surface Of the fuel.
