The Fearful Newmarket Wreck.

Mrs. John Robertson and Miss
Daisy Sheriff. were aboard one
of the i'll fated trains on the
Southern Railway which were
wrecked last Saturday near
Newmarket, Tenn. Fortunately
they were in therear sleeper and
their lives were saved. Both
were seriously shocked and
bruised and are still suffering
from the effects of the fearful
catastrophe
The death list resulting from
this awful crash had reached the
seventy limit yesterday and it
was feared that it would go high
er. Hundreds are MANNED and
wounded and the extent of their
injuries will not be fully deter
mined for several days.
The cause of the collision will
never be know. The trains were
a through fast train and a local
passenger train. Both were on
fine stretches of track. were on
time and bad orders for a meet
ing point at Newmarket at which
they had met for years. In
some way and from some cause
one of the train crews. composed
of old and tried men, the en-
ployees of years, overran the
meeting point and hence the
collision. 1t is estimated that
the wreck will cost the Southern
in damages and other loss nearly
q million dollars.

The First Heat.

The Standard Stove Works
took off lis first heat" IN Co
lnmbns at four o'clock yesterday
afternoon " h en- eighteen
thousand pounds Of molten metal
poured from the cupola into The
ladels Of the waiting moulderss
and was thence moulded into
stoves bear ing the imprint,
'sThe Standard Stove Works,
Columbus, Miss.
It was an interesting sight and
marked a new era in industrial
Columbus. President Sanders,
MIR. Folsom and other of the
officials of the company stood 10
the presence of a large crowd of
interested spectators and
watched tie beginning cf their
enterprise in Colum bus and il
the announcement is any
augury it is assured of success.
For several weeks past a
large force OF men ha / been en-
gagged in the task of getting the
plant here in readiness for the
beginning of operations. BY
herculean efforts the move from
Fort Payne to this city was ac-
com plished with little delay and
little time was lost from the
actual work of manufacturing.
The plant is an interesting
sight an each afternoon at three
O'Clock the same operation will
be witnessed. From an immense
cupola the metal pours after it
has been melted by a powerful
draft fan. Forty odd moulders
went to work yesterday and the
occasion of their first heat in
Colum bus was made one of re
joicing.
To give an idea of the reliabil-
ity of the men employed in this
plant, the first label filed yester-
day and the first mould made,
was by the man who did the same
thing for the company in Fort
Payne ten years ago. Many of
the men employed have been
with the company for years. and
they are men of family and home
builders
Yesterday S run was largely
experimental and was made to
test the fan, the cupola and the
other machinery employed in the
process of stove making The
second run will he made this
afternoon, at three o'clock, when
the plant begins work in earnest.
Every steam whistle in COlum-
bus, every plant stationary and
movable, every engine and every
whistle within the confines OF
Columbus is expected to salute
the new plant this afternoon at
that hour.

The members Of the City
Council were called together
late last Saturday afternoon to
consider the school question.
1t has assumed grave proper
tions and it is a problem which
must very soon be solved in
manner which will not only be
satisfactory to present conditions
but must anticipate and provide
for the future.
Franklin Academy was crowd
ed in all of it's rooms and depart
ments last year. Allowing for
the increase which the trustees
had reason to believe would
manifest Itself in the attendance
here this year they elected an
extra teacher, Mr.. Spiegle, to
help 10 the teaching corps Of this
institution. But the increased
attendance at this school sur
passed all expectations Up to
date there have been Us new
pupils enrolled and allowing for
those who have left the school
since last year the actual increase
Of pupils this session over last is
1873. 1t will be seen that this in
crease taxes every department
of the Academy, one teacher
having as many as ninety odd
pupils in her room. Mr. Cook
found more help absolutely
necessary and on Saturday laid
the matter before the City
Council they allowed an extra
teacher at the Academy and the
trustees elected Miss Sadie Hud
son to fill the place.
While this is relief in a meas
ure it is only temporary for
when the industrial plants in
Columbus get under full sway
and the people necessary to OPP
crate them are all here with
their families it is estimated that
there will be another hundred
and fifty children who will be
knocking at the school doors for
chance to get an education.
To attempt to educate them at
Franklin Academy viii be out of
the question and another school
building will be an absolute
necessity.
