custom of closing early during the

by it. The merchants of Albany will
be called upon to sign an agreement to

train on the B. A W. was held over
here by an order until after- the in
coming 5:30 train had teacbed Albany,
and was“made up” and standiugonthc
track on whicli the passenger train, in
order to bead towards Macon, ran up
towards the freight within ear shot
directly in front, and from there backed
around the Y to reach the depot.
It was necessary for the passenger
train to cross the B. A W. track at
the right angle intersection of the B.
A W. and S., F. A W. railroads.
Engineer John Golden, ranner on
the passengec, stopped his engine
about 70 yards from this crossing, and
then steamed Ofi towards the depot.
What must have been his horror In
passing tlie corner of the Brunswick
freight depot on seeing the freight
train within 30 yards of him coming
at a speed that rendered stopping im
possible !
Tlie bystanders looked on in amaze
ment and horror, and breathlessly
awaited the inevitable crash, whicb
jarred harshly on ears and nerves;
some ciosed their eyes to shut out the
fearful sight and all gave utterance to
exclamations of horror. The engine
of the way freight which was running
on a track at right angles to the pas
senger train first struck the steps aud
front end of the second-class coach
watch fortunately was unoccupied.
The speed at w hich the passenger train
was going prevented the coach from
being throw’n down the steep embank
ment, but it was badly derailed aud its
side was crushed and Splintered. The
engine to the freight train was thrown
from the track and its pilot and entire
front was literally torn into a tooth-
pickable condition. The bystanders
rushed to the spot in feaeful suspense
lest some one had been seriously hurt,
if not killed, bnt the voice of the train
hand who had rushed into the demol
ished car sang out,'“No one hurt.”
The relief from suspense brought a
sudden revulsion of feeling and the
strongest indignation was expressed
by all of what appeared to “lookers
on” as a piece of gross criminal care
lessness.
Mr. John Golden, engineer passen
ger train, say s that he was in no way
at faul:, and that when he discovered
the freight train s^. near upon bis,
that to have attempted to stop w ould
have resulted iu the serious demolition
of two engines, so he used all possible
speed to oppose the second-class coach
w’bich he knew to be empty, to the
colliding engiue. This- statement is
explicit aud evinces a clear head and
sound judgment iu the trying moment
of danger.
Mr. James Blair, tlie runner of the
freight traiii engine, also claims to be
free from fault and says that be be
lieved the passenger train had passed
the crossing rs it had consumed plenty
of time so to do, and that in obedience
to his conductors sigual lie pulled out.
He claims to have stopped his engine
abot 00 yards from the intersection of
the two track*, and that he was going
only about 3 miles an hour at the time
of collision, and reversed his engine at
soonest p«»s*iblc moment, after danger
was visible. His engine stood re
versed after the wreck.
The News and Advertiser does
not wish to prejudice the case of any
one before the official investigation,
but it will say that the occurrence Is
due to gross carelessness for whicb
some one is responsible. If the known
rules of stopping trains at all times,
withiu 50 yards of snch crossings had
been observed, the accident would
never have happened.

After the ball game the young folks
collected in a large vacant room aud
indulged the delights of “Many, Many
Stars” and other pleasant games until
the train’s whistle forced them reluct
antly to take their leave.
Twenty-one men struck Out by Al
bany. Two struck ont by Leesburg.
Horace Bennett, a fourteen-year-old
boy, caught the entire game with a
record of only one past ball.

It has been claimed, and with some
show' of reason, too, that had Crockett
survived, the bloody holocaust of the
Alamo, no gift at the hands of a grate
ful people would have been denied
him, not even the presidency, had
such been his aspiration.
Crockett was not a collegian, he was
a genius, a man of remarkable mother
wit, possessing a strong intuiti\'e
knowledge of human nature, of bound
less sympathy for bi3 fellow man,
Such were the qualities of this man
drawing all hearts toward him with a
magnetic force that was irresistable.
Many, still living, will recall the
times, when, just upon the eve of the
Christmas holidays, the whole country
would be flooded with what wa^then
known as Crockett almanacs. These
productions were merely extravagant
caricatures upon the real worth of our
hero. Nature never intended Crockett
to play the simple role of backwoods
man, rifle in hand and ceaselessly on
the move for raccoon, bear and otiier
varmints. This was what the bur
lesque pamphleteers of the time made
him, but there was, outside of all
a • sterling manhood commanding a
profounder respect and admiration.
His tragic and glorious death, when
the gallant Fannin and his comrades
perished in the wholesale hatchery of
the Alamo, will live in. history tide by
side with those*of Leonidas, Dentatns
and Bazaris. It is stated that Crockett
having received his mortal wound
feebly dragged himself behind a bas
tion of the fort, and from his shelter,
as the enemy pressed upon him, be
clove them to the earth" with his drip
ping bowie, mid when all was over,
the dead of the enemy lay crossed and
piled above aud around him slain hy
his individual bandl Snch
dyiug soldier's fury and despair. His
valor shall become monumental, his
deathless prowess place his name high
upon the head roll of fame among the
few immortals that were not born to
die. S *
Dr. H. XX. Tucker mu Albany.
Dr. H. H. Tucker, the accomplished
and widely-known editor of the Chris
tian Index, who receutly spent two or
three weeks in Albany for the benefit
of his health, has returned to his post
of duty, ami ou the editorial page of
the last issse of the Index we find the
following kind article about our city
and some of her good peoples
ALBANY.
Two of the pleasantest weeks In the
writer's life were spent in Albauy,
Georgia, where by the advice of his
physician he had repaired with a view
to recovery of his strength after his
late illness. Perhaps any change
of air and climate would have been
beneficial, but this seems to have
been peculiarly so. The bland atmos
phere was in very pleasant contrast to
the harsher climate of Atlanta, and the
writer felt as if he breathed in soothing
and comfort as well as health and
vigor with every inhalation.
Albany is becoming celebrated for
its Artesian wells, eight of which in
different parts of the city are now dis
charging their perpetual streams. Oue
of them on the premises of Col. Nelson
Tift discharges, as he Informed us, oue
hundred aud five gallons per minute;,
the others discharge from twenty to
thirty gallons each. Well No. 1, as It
is called, is thought to have great medi
cinal virtues. The analysis does not
show any very lage amount of mineral
matter, but this is the case with almost
all miueral waters, the effect ot whicb
on the human system is frequently,
much greater than might be expected,
judging by the small amount of medi
cal material contained. At any rate,
so far as relates to the Albany well,
the facts appears to be that man* j»er-
song are to be greatly benefited by its
use. Certainly the writer Improved
rapidly and greatly daring his stay in
Albany; the water which he drauk
very freely was probably one of the
factor which contributed to this result.
The temperature of the water, about
73° Fahr., would seem to indicate that
it must be disagreeable to the pail ate;
such, however, Is not the case. There
is something about it which makes It
not only endurable, but actually pleas
ant, and surprisingly large quantities
of it can be drunk without the least
unpleasant effect.
A more potent faotor In the writer's
improvement was found, as he thinks,
ia the cheering, animating, enlivening
influence of the kind and graceful at
tentions of his friends. He may be
said to have held a daily reception of
gentlemen under the trees in*tront ol
his hotel, interrupted, however, by
frequent calls from ladies who honored
him with tbeir attentions, and whom
he received in the parlor. Magnificent
bouquets, prepared by fair hands, from
the floral wealth with which Albauy
abounds, were sent to him daily, and
the parlor of his hotel was constantly
decorated and kept fragfant. Was he
mistaken for Jeff Davis? No, these
were but tokens of loye for a plain
Baptist preacher—the editor of the
Index, who bad fallen among angels of
comfort and ministers of joy. Thanks
be to them for their tasteful, graceful
and tender ministrations, and thanks
be to God lor these messengers of hi*
merej’. Exhilarated and charmed by
these happy surronndlngs, it is uot
surprising that the editor took a new
lease on life, and put on fresh strength
for his work. An exhaustive cata
logue of the editor's benefactors cauuot
b.‘ given, but he may be pardoned for
naming the Bacons, and the S trot hors,
and the Warrens, and the Callaways,
and some of the innumerable host of
the Willinghams (may their number
never be less for the world needs
snch people), to say nothing of
Matthews, (the Methodist minis
ter,) and Pond, (the Episcopal
minister,) and Dix, (onr Baptist

Tucker, (a distant relative), and
Alfriend; and what shall we say more,

They ran him across tlie street in
for tlie first run, wluch fell ou Eagle
No. 2, which immediately took posi
tion. Upon examination, Eagle’s
coupling was found to be so bruised as
to take only two threads, and after
some parley, It was filed out, and every
thing being in readiness, the running
squad flew ;down the track at a good
speed, but in uncoupling, the hose was
wreuched off, aud the judges declared
them entitled to another run. The
second trial they “busted” aud scored
0. Defiance squad then took position,
and at the signal made a capital run,
but owing to delay in getting water,
scored 35. The running theu followed
in turns, during which tlie colored
friends of each company exerted them
selves to inspire^ their favorites with
the loudest yells and wildest gesticula
tions ever heard or seen on Albany’s
streets. Albany's best record was 28
and Cutbbert’s 35 seconds.
In the second contest, one run was
determined upon by tbe judges in con
sequence of the lateness of the hour.
Cuthbert made the first run and
scored 26 only. The Albany c *rapany
was wild with hopes of victory, over
what they considered slow time, and

whether his best girl or even Ills “nia”
would have recognized him If they had
seen him slipping through tlie back
streets and alleys on bis return home
about nightfall. His dilapidated ap
pearance was due to an accident—a
sort of aquatic catastrophe, so to speak
—ami it happened in this wise: Bob and
Will 3IcClellan and a darkey were in
a boat on the lake known as Mizzard's
Garden. When they went to make a
landing. Bob was seated at one end ot
tlie boat and the darkey at the other.
Tbe darkey’s end was next to the
landing. Bob stood up, with fishing
tackle, etc., in hand, and balanced
himself preparatory to walking the
length of the boat to tbe shore. Just
as fie straightened himself, the darkey,
prompted either by mischief or inher
ent cussedness, gave the boat a sudden
jerk, landing Bob backwards on his
bead in -water about seven feet deep.
For an instant all that could be seen
of Bob . was his bat floating on top of
tbe water; but after a while he came
up blowing like a porpoise, and com
menced to manfully “pull for the
shore.” The darkey saw vengeance in
Bob's eye, and fled in terror from tlie
pond, but Bob pursued him, and was
not satisfied until he had carried him
back to tbe water and Immersed him.
It was not one ol your solemn, formal
immersions, either, but a shove and a
kick and—“down he goes.” “An eye
for an eye;” a ducking for a ducking.
