C, FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDEliT. . * [Train on th* Air Lin* Bond do** Down an Enbankment. J The Air Line scored another ter- I rible aryl disastrous accident Wed. ' neaday to the last mail, tine here to night, six miles above Sparta and three uiilcs from Welalord. It was nearly two hours behind time, and i make it up was going near fifty ’ miles per hour. The train entered I a double curve on tin embankment and-the rails spread, precipitating the first and second-class coaches down the embankment. - A fearful wreck ensued, and two sleepers ^tyre thrown across the embank ment, wrenching off every wheel. V telegraph pole ran clear through one cpacii. The coaches were crowded, and the damages, as learn ed from a passenger, were simply fearful. When the accident occurred Con- uctnr Ransom was sitting in one coach, and feeling the crash coming, reached for the bell-linn, but missed it. 'Twas Isis last act, as he was fearfully mangled and died soon after. About fifteen passengers, more or less, were badly, wounded v and three will probably be dead be fore morning. Two trains cante in from the wreck, one at 10:30 and the other at 11 o'clock, but brought neither dead or wounded, which leads the people to fear the damage is far greater than the railroad people are willing to admit. The Air-Ling people am very reticent and none of the officials will give any satisfactory information. DA, lsintmn Min Ur.

During the cotton season, a large number of ties are saved, which are just as good at those received fresh from the facto ry. These are taken and laid out on a piece of woed three inches thick and about seven feet long. After enough ties have been put down to make a bundle, the buckles are put on aad tbe ties doubled over and another piece of timber the same length of the bottom piece is put on tbe top of the ties. A jack screw is then placed on this piece of timber, and the ties screwed down and fas tened with wire. The ties are then taken to a large box filled with paint and dipped in it After the paint dries on them they are ready for the uufrket and are jnst aa good as any ties sold, and] {much cheaper.
