An Accident Two Tramps Killed.
Yesterday as a train loaded with lum
ber was coming up the mountain from
Round Knob two cars became detached
and went down the grade at a rapid rate.
Two negro tramps had secreted them
selves in the lumber on thece cars, and
when latter went flyin: down the moun
tain they began to scatter the lumber on
first oni siue then another, finally
thiowinc tho nejiroes off, who were
caught under the falling lumber,
one being killed an.! ti e othr so badly
injurtd a to nia'.e his death a cc-rtaiBty.
Tramps jught to know by this time that
the Inter-State law cannot prevent acci
dents to trains upon which they try to
steal rides, and there is always danger in
such ventures. The cars did not leave
the track, so we are informed.
Tobacco Sales
Monday and yesterday at all the
warehouses were very heavy, and
the prices ranged high, good tobacco
selling very hih. Our farmers ne
certainly reaping good returns now.

Death of a Prominent Republi
can Statesman.
Rev. W. H. High, colored, for
tome years a baker of this city, died
yesterdav. after a ehort illness. He
7.is, vre bslicve, a member of the
State Constitutional Convention of
1S68, the body of sweet scented noto
riety, which ruined the State for
years to follow. And High was
about as reputable as any ol his
colleagues, and this is no complN
merit to him, and was a fair speci
men of those chosen by the Repub
licans to frame an organic law for a
great people to live under. We
hope he is at rest.
Arm Cut Off.
We learn that a painful accident
occurred in the transfer yard at
Hot Springs on Saturday last. A
freight train was backing dor-n one
track, while another was moving up
on another. A lad about 12 years
old was watching the up coming
train, and didnot see the other until
lie was struck and knocked into a
cattl is guard. He thrcrv up one aim
across the rail, and it was so crush
ed that amputation was necessary.
The lad was a poor boy, the son of
a destitute mother iho had sent
him out on a begginj errand.
On Sunday a collection for hie
benefit was made among the train
men, and SIS realized.
Doj't Forget the Susbtantials.
Mes.-rs. Penniman & Co., dealers
in hardware, house furnishing
oris, cooking and other stoves,
sportsmen's outfits, &c, wish the
people to remember that eating
tloci hot constitute all the objects of
li!': that preparations even for eat
ing have t bs made, as well as oth
er t:o!b for t's, aud lieucs invite atten
tion to their very large and varied
stock of goods. A good cooking
stove would be a splendid Christmas
pre.-eut for the home !olk, a hand
so'.ue gun for the young man of the
house, and many things too tedious
to mention. Call and see, and you
will lie pleased.
Pyrotechnics and the Small Bot.
A city ordinance prohibits, under
a heavy penalty, the firing of crack
ers, eky-rocketf, etc., on the streets
ofthecit'. As the Mayor has no
authority to suspend thi s ordiuance,
the police will of course have to ar
rest any one guilty. There
are many ressons why such a law
should be enforced. The danger of
fiie, and frightening horses by such
things i.-i very great. But we must
confess we sympathise with the
boys. It has not been so many
years since we were a boy of boya
and loyed such things and we like
to see others enjoy what boys of
other days were permitted toVnjoy.
But then we did not live ina crowded
cit', and had room enough for our
fun without endangering anybody
or anything. Boys of this 3-ear of
grace will have to get off of public
streets, and into lots awav from
possibilities ofddiigeror doing harm
toSenjuy their fire works. We hope
they will be allowed as much lati
tude as circumstance will permit,
and may have a really good iim.

Messrs. JLditors Citizen: In obedience
to an order made by the County Cora

Magistrates and CorrHnissiuners conven

Tho mica interests of the oountv are

been a source of great revenue to the

The Unaca Lumber Companv from the

menced moving timber to Cane River
with the view of floating it to Knoxville,
lenn. If the experiment proves success
ful a large extent of country extending

lbere are other lumber interests in
the county, but in the main they have
to find a market by way of Tennessee
and Virginia roads, from Tohnson Citv.
Tenn. We pay on cherry and walnut
thirty-one cents per hundred pounds to
noston: on tbe VV. c Kail Koid on
the same article we have to Day forty
five cents per hundred pounds to the
same point from Alexander. If the terms
were at all equal we would go to the W.
X. C. Rail Koad, but there is so much
difference in rates that we are compelled
to seek the oth "r line.
T ie fruit crop was not a trood one the
past year, but what there was of it has
proved quite a source of revenue. Two
of Dur enterprising citizens W. H. Gard
ner and Charles Lissenbee have just re
turned from Greenville, Tenn,, to which
place they took each a wagon load of
ancey'e fine apples for which they got
one dollar end titty cents per bushel,
thus paying them well for their trip.

Allison from the committee on Fi

placed on the calander and motion
to print was referred to the commit

Mr. Hampton from the committee
on military affairs reported .i bili to
transfer to the trustee of Porter
academy certain property ued for
army purposes in Charleston, S. C.
Calendar.
Mr. Edmunds asked that the pos
tal telegraph bill introduced by him
be taken from the table and re
ferred to the post office committee.
He had intended, he said, to have
submitted same brief observations
on tho bill but trusting to the zeal
and fidelity which the postoffice
committee had hitherto shown in
favor of some such measure he
thought he could safely send it
without any preliminary cbserya
tions, trusting that it would be very
speedily leported when it could be
discussed. The bill was so referred,
as well as a bill on the same sub
ject introduced by Mr. Cullum. The
resolution offered uy Mr. Call yes
terday to print in the Congressional
Record the memorial of Hie consti
tutional convention of Utah wa8
called up by that gentleman who
asked that it be now adopted.
Mr. Edmunds preferred that the
resolution be referred to the com
mittee on territories which now had
jurisdiction of the subject.
Mr. Call argued that it was due to
a commuuity of 200,000 people to
have its views fairly presented. He
understood that less than three per
cent, of the people were guilty of
practices an assumption on
which the objection of the Senator
from Vermont was based. He
would now read the memorial to in
sure its publication in the Record,
and to show that there was nothing
objectable in it. (Read memorial).
Mr. Call added that the Senator
from Vermont knew that there was
nathing in the memorial disrespect
ful to Congress and that there was
no reason in right or Justice why
the Senate should refuse to hear the
petition of 200,000 American citi
zens. Mr. Edmunds thanked the Sena
tor from Florida for his gratifying
allusions to him, they were worthy
of him (Call), and he trusted that he
(Edmunds) could bear them. He
certainly had not questioner1 the
sincerity of the Senator from Flori
da, for he (Call had stood behind
this polvgamist hierarchy every
time that it had any interest to ad
vance, or any wholesome legislation
to resist. He had done so wih a
great deal of ability and considera
ble zeal. He could give the Senator
the praise of being absoiutel r s n
cere in standing by that body of
persons through thick and through
thin, come good, come ill, and he
expected thjt the Senator would
continue to do so, and it in the pro
cess of time Utah should become a
State and the United States Consti
tution should be changed so that
one person might ha Senator from
two States, he hid no doubt that
the Senator from Florida would be
the t5rt Senator whom the Mormon
hierarchy would select.
After considerable discussion Mr,
Call withdrew his resolution, as he
had attained his object in reading
th Utah'ioeuiorial himself.
Mr. Blair then moved to take 'up
his educational bill and the motion
was agreed to, yeas 27, nays 15.
Without further action the Senate
proceeded to executive business.

the operators have positively refused
to enter itito arbitration, and re
questing the President to notify offi

menced falling here yesterday morn
ing, and has come down steadily
eyer since. L i1e ;n the day a bliz
zard set in from the North, and has
hourly increased in violence. Ad-vic-s
are to the effect thai 'he bliz
zard is general over the WVst and
that it has caught the country with
out any adequate supply of coal. It
is known that the railroa i compa
nies have from some cause failed to
supply the demand on the plaiDS.
There is great fear that much suf
fering and distress will result from
this sudden change of weather, as it
is certain that the entire districts
are almost entirely without fuel.
