AFsmllr at Hardarers Come Vp With Is Taxaa r t'awkar Avaasera. The Kelly family; the Oai City imita-' ton of the famous Bender family, have been overtaken by swift and awful retri bution., A posse of self-appointed aven gers found them In Texas, whither they had fled from their ranch in ,"Xo Man's Land," and, in the fight that ensued, the mother and daughter . were killed. The old man escaped) bat the son, Bill, was caught and hanged. The horrible crimes charged against the Kelly family even surpasses those of the notorious Bender family, and recall the juvenile stories of the giants, who, in ancient times, estub lishod themselves in some lonely spot and fed upon the bodies of unhappy travelers; They were believed to be respectable, honest and harmless people, and their ranch being on the public road or wha( goes as a public road in that vountry-r traveler stopped there almost every day to get something to eat, or, perhaps, s night's lodging. The family consisted oi Kelly, his wife, one son and a daughter, the children both grown. Although il literate, they were certainly cleanly and evidently industrious. In the centre ot the floor they had constructed trap door which opened into a basement under nesth. Their practice seems to have been to sound their victim and aaccrtain.us fat as possible, the extent of his cash in hand. Then they delibcratclr, it seems,pre pared to dispose of him. Either the father oi the son, or in some case the daughter who was not a bad-looking girl carried on a conversation with the guest, while the mother prepared the meal. Every thing being in readiness for the sacrifice, the victim was seated at the table, his chair being placed on the trap-door. At a given signal the spring wu touched and the unhappy , traveler would be throws into the basement, where, in the darkif the fall did not break his neck- he could be dispatched at pleasure. This is supposed to have been the modus oper andi, for no one is known to have ever escaped from their clutches. Some of tht friends of Merchant, Johnson the cowboy partners of a murdered Texan, concluded to catch these people if it took the rest oi l ineir uvea to ao u, arui accordingly tney Jeft town one morning going almost dus west. They had gone about fifty mile from their starting point and were Pre paring to camp on small creek, ween one of the cowboys noticed a dug-out, that seemed to have been newly made, a short distance op the stream, and started towards it, calling to hi compani(ns to come on and see if they could learn any thing of the chase from these people. All at once he stopped short, and ducked. The next instant the sharp report of a rifle broke the stillness and a bullet whistled past the ear of the man in ad vance. This proved that their prey had been run to earth, and the whole party beat a retreat to concoct some scheme to capture the gang. The wagon used by the family in reaching the place, stood some distance from the sod house. It was finally decided that three of the party should advance and dig down into the place while the other four covered the bouse with their guns. ' Accordingly this plan wu adopted, and the three del egated for the hazardous task advanced and mounted the roof. The partus inside could not get a chance to fir on them now until the roof should be caved In, when the greatest danger would be incurred for the attacking party. A hole was finally made in the ton, when a rapid fusilad began within, and one of the at tacking party was shot through the heart Nothing daunted, the others hauled op that old wagon, which was partly loaded with dry hay, and set it on fire right over the Hole, amid a pcricct rain oi bullets. The smoke poured into the house, as did the hot coals, but not oue of the family appeared. Getting tired of wailing, the avenger closed upon the place, and get ting to the entrance a desperate fight took place. ; The interior of the dugout was literally flooded with bullets while erica ana curses .came from within.

Cotton mills are reported as hav ing largely over-sold their production, and many old mills are being enlarged to meet the demand for their goods. The increudog diveniflcation of Southern in dustries is illustrated in the fact that Al obaraa alone secured, during the year, the location of five large car building plants, two at Decatur ana one each at Birming ham, Anniston and Gadsden. The Anni.v ton works will cost f 1,000,000, employ 1,000 mechanics and will turn out twenty complete cars a day, from freight to pas senger, parlor and sleeping -curs, the en-, tire work, from 'making wheels to the upholstering, to be done in these shops. One of the car plant at Decatur is being built by the Louisville 4! aaavuie rail road, and tka ntbrr will lie large works, now at Urbane, Ohio, which are to be removed to Decatur.

The most disastrous collision that svei oocnmd on the Clncbnatl Southern Bond, took place ' one mile north of Greenwood, Ky. Limited express No. 8 ran into limited express No. 1, which left Cincinnati, between tunnels 7 and 8, de molishing both engines, throwing every car from the track on train No. 9 except the two sleepers, and killing the follow ing persons outright: Leo Withrow, baggage master on No. 1 j L. . Callan, baggage master on No. 2-y M. B. Powell, Baltimore Ss Ohio excess messenger on No. 2. . Engineer-Michael, of train No. 2, tell a story that would make the blood ton cold In the veins of the strongest man. He was running down grade at a rate of sixty miles an hour and did not see No. 1 approaching his train until it was about fifty feet away,- and without stopping to reverse hi engine or turn on the air, he fell out of the cab window and landed in s lot of bushes and finally dropped in a mud hole. One of his an kles was badly hurt by the fall. No. 1 was running up grade at the rate of thirty-five miles per hour. Sam Bennett was the conductor on this train, and on meet ing Conductor Bchrum, said: "What does this meant" Bchrum replied, "I had orders to run to Somerset regardless of No. 1, and here is my order." On taking it from his pocket he discovered his mis take, for it ordered him to run to Summit The dreadful discovery was too much for poor Schrurn, and he has lost his mind. Three different times h succeeded in getting away from his friends, who were watching him at Somerset, Ky., and started for the oods. The accident occurred between tunnels 7 and 8, one hundred and seventy-four 'miles from Cincinnati. Both are curve tunnels, and there ia a distance of 800 feet between them. .The greater portion" of this is a fill, tin U-, being bet wensu aivty and one hundred feet a two. The sides of the fill are very steep. Had either train been two second sooner the crash would have taken place in one of the tunnels. The north bound train waa a light one owing to delay on other roads entering Chatta nooga, It was what train men call a "jumped up" train, formed at Chat a nooga. There was, at the time of the accident, but one person in the amokcr, and that wu the "butcher boy," who waa badly hurt. The responsibility of the accident seems to rest with the con ductor snd engineer of the north boon 1 train, and yet their mistake wu one that wu quite natural under the circum stances. A fast Chicago express on the New Tork,Pennylvsnia 4b Ohio Railroad, consisting of two sleepe aud five day coaches, collided with freight train consisting of two engines and sixty cars, three mb.es from Meadville, Pa. Five persons were killed outright, smong whom wu one psssenger; thirteen others were wounded: nine ot them fatally. Following are names of the killed, so iu u ascertained: William George, engineer, and Humes, fireman, of th leading freight engine. . P. Swan and Arthur Irwin, engineer and fireman of the Chicago express. Both train present a terrible scene of destruc tion. When the collision occurred the fast express wu making uplost time and going at the top speed. .The blame i said to rest with the freight train, who were running on the express train's time, snd Chicago sixteen passengers. Among th wounded are: Joseph Boy n ton, of Meadville, express agent, aeriouily hurt ana is u curious, ruiuip xiu, vi omu Francisco. . right arm fractured ; 8. A. Malone,of Salamanca, N.
