Mr. Romanger, who lives at Stanton, had just left a nephew and a companion and expected to return to his home on thu midnight train. The engine crew did not know they had run over him until they had put the engine in the roupdhouse and were going down the track to bring up a freight engine. The unfortunate man had his right leg to the hip end his right arm to the elbow mashed into a pulp, and death relieved his suffering a few hours after the accident
 There was almost a riot on the Selma wharf today about 10 o'clock. Alfred Banks and Scott Brown, two negro dray- men, got into a row over dispute as to some hauling, and Brown struck Banks with a pair of brass knucks. The latter beabored his adversary with dray pin and a nephew of Banks entered the melee, armed also with a dray pin, and did some effectual work. Some fifteen negro draymen who were on the wharf took either one side or the other and there was lively scrimmage for time. Finally Constable Smoke and the mate of the City of Mobile put an end to hostil- ities by kicks and cuffs. The two ne- groes were arrested and will answer to Justice Lloyd tomorrow for their affray. Both are badly used up.
