ATTEMPTED TRAIN wRECKING.
The Supposed Guilty Man Arrested and Com
mitted to Jail.

"a NuppNoVu uuiity nun hiiNoeNu Wv Nuhi-
mitted to Jail.
On last Wednesday morning, Capt. l.
Stone, Of local No. 81, and his crew while
approaching Miller's Side Track, three
miles east of this place, observed some.
thing wrong with the switch at its north
end a close inspection revealed the fact
that an attemptha been made to wreck
the train, rocks had been damned in the
angles formed by the side track coming
in conjunction with the main track,
these rocks extended some twelve or
eighteen inches down the main line, and
were of such size and so placed that it is
apparent the train would have been de-
rallied. A light snow was on the ground,
and there were tracks leading up TO and
away from the place, these tracks indi-
Gated that the party had stopped and
placed the obstruction there, the train
crew hurriedly followed up those tracks
which indicated that the party had run
and at n point had left the main track
crossing over to the side track, picking
up a heavy rock, then coming back on to
the main track and placed another OBJ
struction at the road crossing about two
hundred yards below where the first OBJ
struction was placed. The track then
left the railroad and went off into the
adjoining field for a distance Of about
two hundred yards, then turned sudden
ly and came onto the railroad. The crew
continued the trail and overlook the
supposed guilty party, not more than
live hundred yards from where the OBJ
struction was placed. He was arrested
and brought to Jonesboro and placed in
Jail. He is n colored man by the name
of Mat Erwin, about twenty two years
old. He was given a preliminary hear
ing before Squire Shipley on last Satur-
day. The evidence against him is very
strong, and there is no question but
what he is the guilty party. The only
thing about which there can be any
doubt is his sanity. Those who know
him say that his mind has been affected,
and that he is not responsible for his
actions. He was committed to Jail in
default Of bond, and 1t is quite probable
that he will stay confined in the county
Jail until his sanity can be tested.

For the Herald and Tribune.

roT sao Herald ana tribune,
The Machine emOcracy's $4,000 Bond.
1t is quite easy to ''read between the
lines" and know exactly what the
Peter Turney Machine Democracy of
our State thought, and why they acted
under the force OF the caucus whip in
adding the 1876, 900 bond to the contest
law. First, they knew Bob Taylor
uttered an ~inexcusable SANDER against
the election officers of Sewer and
Garter Counties when he charged open
and wholesale frauds there in the late
election. Second, they knew that the
report Of the sub committee to the full
Republican committee of the State,
was true-that positive evidence was
at hand, showing that a close investi-
CATION would wipe out Taylor's 5000
majority and seat Tillman by a ma.
Jority OF over 5000. Third, their
knowledge of this fact, for weeks past,
has been %quickened by the poof now
being taken In the Patterson. Carmack
contest case; where, for instance, the
voters, as sworn witnesses show that in
a single precinct 800 votes were cast
for Patterson and Tillman, and all of
them except ten counted for Carmack
and Taylor. Fourth, this being The
Centennial year, and word having
gone out from both parties that a
searching investigation would be made,
and every fraudulent vote excluded
from the count, that it would, this
time, be impossible to choke off action
by technical bubbles, or to poll a ma
jority vote adverse to positive proof
and in the interest of a partisan ma
chine. What then was to be donep
A bluff was the only remedy left in
sight. The machine ring headed by
Iurney, McCOrry and Vertrees, with
the coal oil inspectors and back tax
collectors standing in the close back
ground, said: This is our only chance,
a bluff. Well add a heavy prosecution
bond feature to the contest law, and
lobby 1t through under the p~retense
that 1t is a reform feature to guard the
State from heavy contest expenses;
and, possibly, Tillman and his attor.
neys and hackers may not see through
the trick and withdraw from the con.
test" 20 yes! We know, that under
a contest and full investigation all the
chances are against TAYLOR, except,
the single one that a majority Of the
General Assembly may disregard the
proof and oath of office and decide
against Tillman; but in that event,
public opinion would render it impos.
sible to enforce the penalty of the
bond. Our only hope is that the other
side may not see this and go down and
out under the force of the bluff u
Another reason why We must, in
some way or other, avoid and choke
of this contest, is, that but for the
assurance that frauds in our late cleo
ton were to be thoroughly exposed,
the $3.50, 900 appropriation by Congress
would not have been made for a Gov
eminent exhibit at Nashville. The
eyes OF the whole country are upon us.
Now, If our bluff fails TO work, we had
better withdraw "Our Bobn from the
field, and thus end the matter. Inyes.

She passed to that beautiful home
where there will be no pain and death.
Oh can it be true that one 30 much
loved is gone. We shall never see her

have hopes of seeing her above. She
joined the Baptist Church at the age
of 16 and lived a very consistent life.
In her death the church has lost one
of her most devoted members and her
family a devoted wife and mother.
Her affection at times gave her a great
deal of pain. But che bore it all pa
tiently and without murmuring or
complaining until the hour of death,
when she fell asleep in Jesus. Her
countenance was lit up by the visions
of eternal things and she looked upon
the beautiful city of God, and met
with her daughter who had gone be.

She has gone the way of all the earth,

EFFIE WALLER,

LITTLE NALLch,
Etie Waller, daughter of NJ. V. and
E. A. Waller, was born March, 1883.
and died November 20, 1896. Her pa
rents left Tennessee in the fall of 81
for Arkansas, where they now reside.
Ellie was a kind and affectionate child,
loved by all who knew her. She had
been a constant sufferer for four years
past, but for the three last weeks of
her life she suffered greatly. She call.
ed her parents. brothers, sisters and
friends to her bed and requested that
they all would meet her in heaven.
She said she was going to heaven to see
her grandma and her little brother,
whom she had never seen, and that
she was going to see Jesus. She sang
several songs that were her ~favorites.
Effie had just budded on earth to bloom
in heaven. Her life was short. but she
filled it with pleasant remembrances.
Father, mother, brothers and sisters,
weep not for Efie, as those that have
no hope. She has sung her last song
here, but she is now singing the praise
of God with all the blood washed
throng on the sunny banks of sweet
deliverance. Think not of her as be-
ing dead and Wondering back to
mother dust, but as a sweet angel in
heaven. She is at rest from all her
sufferings, free from pain and will
know no more death. Fife is only a
cord to draw the minds of her loved
mes away from the cares and tolls of
this world to a higher aud nobler life.
We know that all things work together
for good to them that love the Lord.
We should keep ourselves in the love
Of God, and il the Good Shepherd
takes to his own bosom q lamb from
our little flock, let us consider that he
means to lead US on to greener pas.
lures and by the side of quiet waters.
II he chooses to bear our lambs asleep
in his bosom over the dark and rough
and dangerous road, shall we who are
often foot sore, weary and discouraged
murmur at his loving care. Shall we
not rather say, ut is well with the
child" Cease your weeping for Efie,
but rather rejoice that she is free from
all her pains. Live for God and her
rest shall be yours.
Then well may we wait with patience here,
Nor weep DER the churchyard sod;
We shall ind the lost whom we hold so dear
In the glorious garden of God.
