BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1889 Two Trains Collide on the East Tennessee Road. TWO KNOINES SMASHED—MAH. AO EXT Ill’UT AND 1‘ABSENOEKS SHAKEN UP —AM. BECAUSf OE A MISTAKE IX THE MATT EH OP TIME. The morning train on the £. T. V. R. R. collided this morning with the oot going freight on the curve near “The Point,” at the identical spot where two other terrible nccidents have occurred before.. The passen ger train, under charge of Conductor J. A. Kidson and Engineer Ed Mow er, was one hour late, and .Tinning as •ueb, was consequently entitled to the track. The out going freight was also behind time, going out un der orders to proceed to Jcsup, and was still in the “yard,” therefore had rights. As they rounded the curve they discovered each.other. Breaks were pot on, levers reversed, and engineers and firemen ail launched forth into the air with a leap for life. Scarcely had they reached the ground when the opposing elements met, and these ponderous engines came together and mounted high in tho air, after the manner of wild I leasts. After all had become still, an in vestigation was made. It was found that both engines were smashed— the ireight engine, No. 23, literally demolished, being driven up all in one mighty heap. The passenger en gine bad her front end driven iu and other damago'done, but sbe was still in pretty good shape. Both engines were still on the track or thereabout, and both trains on the rails, except the for.emost car of tho freight, which was badly bro ken up. Tho passengers were all badly shaken up, some worse than others, but no one badly hurt. The engineers and firemen having jumped out, and made safe landings, were com paratively unhurt. The mail agent was thrown tho whole length of bis car, and is a little soro over his ex perience. The expressman, Mr Partridge, however, did not fare so well. Uis car being next to the en gine lie found out before the other officers that danger was ahead, rush ed back through the baggage car and gave the alurm, but so hurriedly that no one understood him, reached tho baek platform and made his leap for life. When all was over lie was hunted up und found suffering very much from his wounds, lie was taken bock to the sleeper and litter on cv ritf-tP tbc home of bis sister, ,3ffs. | Erby, who lives on Reynold itrsfet in the city, where be was attended by Dr. Butts, who reports him/hurt in ternally. , * t now IT UAOfEMKD. How it happened ! This the ques tion that is hard to find out. Railroad men, by their training, are taught to keep their own counsel, and as a rule they are “know nothings.”. Prom outsiders we lagrn that the passenger train was making lively time—prob ably much faslerltban tbc ordinances of the city allow. *The curve being only a gradual one—unless paying no attention to what was ahead, or else running like wild-fire—the engineer ought to have seen the out-going freight in time to have stopped. . Mr. W. L. Fulton hearing the freight coming, and seeing the pas. senger coming down from the old de pot, tried to attract the attention of the engineer and firemen of the passenger train, but both seemed busy doing something, so he failed to stop them—and aboveyou have the Mbit. ' Both engineers claimed the track, under their orders. Not being able to secure these orders, we cannot say who is to blame, beyond the fact that tho engineer of the passenger train waa traveling more than “four miles per hour”—so the bystanders report.

Tlie object of the corporation is wholesale and retail handling of hardware, mainly for the trade of tho country represented by the incorpor ators.

Eastman, Ga., Nov. 7, ’80. . Editors Advertiser: The men and women of Dodge county hove admirable demonstrated this wedk’/wiist energy and determi nation can do. Where a few weeks ago only an old Held bounded by a pine forest could be seen, there ' is now n remarkable exhibit of farm re sources and household handiwork. On the grounds where two mohths since rabbits burrowed and weeds flourished, there now rests an excel lent agricultural hall, and in its en closure arc horses, cattle and hogs, whoso fatness indicates that pros perity dwells iu the homes of their owners, and a thousand people,- are admiring the industry and intelli gence of tlto farmers of Dodge county. On entering the enclosure ono first notices a large, neat new building with a sign board extending across the front enscribcd thereon “Agri cultural Hall," and in this hall on nil sides is every kind of agricultural products from a peanut to n large cotton plant, filled witli tlie fleecy staple. Here I saw specimens of Dodge county’s rice that would do creditJto the rice fields of Glynn and McIntosh counties, and numerous other articles such as oats, wheat, corn, potatoes, sugar cane, peas, fruits, (lowers, etc., all going to show thatwant is a stranger in the homes from which they came. I noticed a stalk of corn contain ing eight well-filled ears, some pota toes weighing six pounds each, sugar cane reaching nearly to the ceiling, turnips as large as a man’s head, pumpkins ns big as a wash pot, and other wonders of the.farm in tbc greatest profusion, all arranged to tbo^tgduatagB- ■ the ladies’ department. But it is the floral hall where the most attractive features of the fair are found. In jellies, preserves, cakos, canned goods, needle work and all those tilings which tend to make pantries attractive or homes bcauti ful, the ladies of Dodge county have certainly illustrated themselves The ball is encircled with mottoes, paintings, hand-painted chinaware, all us beautiful us if they had been wrought by fairy fingers. The horse racing is very good, tnk ing into, consideration that there is no imported’ stock here—only the horses of the six adjoining counties being entered, anil, while they do not get, around tho track in ns good time as “Goldsmith Maid,” or tho famous trotting horse “Dexter," stiil they arc good stoppers and win the np- plause and admiration of all. • , The fair closes to morrow, und Dodge county can.wcll feel proud of her effort, for there is no county in the State that could show a liner col- than has been exhibited here this week, and It was all sdonc through tho untiring energy of Dr. Harris Fisher, the president.

Kemmlcr, who is sentenced to be executed by electricity in New Y'ork for murder, and whose life has been prolonged by the quibble over that mode of execution, seems to lie a proper subject for missionary efforts. A woman who called to sec him the other day asked him if lie knew that Christ camu into the world to save such sinners as he, “I aever heard of him,” said Kemmler. “No, I never did,” he repeated, when the oman asked him in astonishment if he had really never heard of Christ.

Tlie question of the carrying of lights and changes necessary for the benefit of navigation and the avoid ance of collisions, recalls to the New Xork Times an incident that hap pimed some years ago, when a Britisii frigate, homeward bound, und an American man-of-raan were lying nt anchor in the same port. Tbo cap tain nnd ofHceri of the English ves sel were invited to dine on board tlie American ship. The dinner was a long, jovial affair and the toasts wore frequent. Finally, about 10 o’clock tho visitors were bundled into their boats to return to tbeir vessel,'which was to get under way as soon as all were on board and the boats hoisted. After a short interval the vessel was scce to lie moving, and from the American could lie heard q number of Orders given to tbc helmsman, first porting tbc helm and then hcav- ing.it hard over the other way, re peating the operation several times. A'&li c course was a fairly straight oac^thc reason for this vast amount of manouivcring was not apparent, and the mystery remained unsolved for quite a while. Several months Inter one of the officers returned to the station aboard another British man-of-war; and he stated that, owing to too much Americanism, or too many good-lives, they had neg lected to give the order to haul down tlie vessel’s stay-light—ns the light is called which all vessels hoist for ward when at anchor—and. being firmly convinced that it was tlie light aboard some other ship, they were shifting their vessel’s course in vain endeavors to avoid it, and bring it to bear iu some ether direction than right ahead, it was noj. until limy bad taken up the greater por tion Of the anchorage, and bad come within’ an ace of running down Yuri outkoraA that komg one cooler head ed than the rest discovered tin- of fending lantern, nnd had it hauled down. •Sweet Florida oranges $1.25 per hundred at Dillon's.

Thu State is one of the Republican strongholds, but the Democrats, it seems, have cap tured it. Tbc fact that this is an off year- in poUtics cannot account for such imrficnac Democratic gains. It is not to wondered at that the President is sotaephat depressed. He has reason to be. The indications are that the people are not satisfied with the administration of the govern ment by the Republican party.
