Kamitillx, Tenn.. July SO.—[Special.]-—
News Jim just l»ccn received of a terrible cal*
lieion a mile north of Duck River station, on
the Nashville and Decatur railroad. A special
engine going north ran into the Columbia ac
commodation, killing six or seven, among
them A. L. Robinson, former ticket agen*.
here; Engineer Beech,of tlie special; Kuginoor
Denman and Fireman Robert Brown, of the
accommodation, and the bsgg»gc master,
Mon rce Wilcon.
Conductor Kidd,on the accommodation train,
makes the following statement regarding the
collision. Bo says engine No. 519 ran into
him about one mile south of Dark's mill while
running in the time of his train. Both en
gines are a total wreck. One of the engines
was knocked off on one side of the road,
while the other telescoped through the bag
gage car. Tho following Is a list of the
killed:
HENRY I.ANMAN, engineer of the accommoda
tion.
ROBERT BROWN, fireman of the accommoda
tion.
THAU. BEECH engineer of No. 61.
DAT KING, fir*':nan of No. OJ.
A. B. ROBRItTBOX, pasaenger agent, formerly
ticket agent Louisville and Nashville depot.
lfONltOE WILSON, bagfigemuter.
IIKNKY WHIITIMOKE.
There were only two passengers Injured.
Rev. Wm. M. Green, who was in the smoking
car, was thrown against a seat, cutting a gash
over his right e.vft, not serious. The other, a
colored girl, namo unknown, slightly ctu in
tho face. Tho collision occurred in a doep
cut with a sharp curve,making it impossible to
hen each other— hence tho collision took
place while both trains were going at full
speed. A passenger in tho accommodation
states that he was in the act of looking at his
watch when tho ougino< collided. Ho says
they bad just three minute to make Duck riv
er, showing that the accommodation was on
time,
The sight is most horrible, the bodiee being
torn to pieces and scalded by the escaping
steam. As soon as the terrible news roached
Columbia every available conveyance that
could be secured was en route to tho accidont.
There wero hotween flitcou and twenty pas
sengers in the ladies' coach who were uninjur
ed. Engine 510 has been used on tho S. A L.
road and was on its way to Nashvlllo for ro-
pairs, Engineer Beech having brought an en
gine from Nashville to tako its placo lato this
evening.
Undertaker Barr is now at the wreck with
colli os, and tho bodies will !>o brought to Col
umbia tonight. There is a diff erence of opin
ion among tho passengers, some holding that
one of the engines exploded, while others say
not. Engine 519 received orders beforo leav
ing Columbia to run to
South Nashville, keeping out
of tho way of regular trains. Tho onginoer
waa trying to make Dark's mills, instead of
waiting for the accommodation at Duck river.
A large number of men from this city are now
at tho wreck, reudering what assistance in
tlicir power.
It will probably be late tomorrow beforo the
road can be cleared. The ncetio at tho ltothel
house, when the* horrible nows was convoyod
to Engineer Lnuman's wife, Is beyoud descrip
tion.
Later information shows that ongiuo519
exploded, throwing tho teuder 150 foot In au
opposite direction. Robertson was killed in
stantly, being dll emboweled by a piecoof iron.
Ilia watch was broken, tho hands stopping at
(1:22. I ad man’s body was fonnd on tho side of
the road. It Is suppoaod he had lumped from
his engine and waa injured internally, his bs-
ing tho only body not dlsflgurod.
Henry Whittroore was found with a flag in
his band wedged between a cylinder of tho ox-
E loded entino ard tho sido of tho rock cut.
io lived only about ten minutes niter ho was
fonnd. It took nearly an hour to extricate his
body. Robertson got on tho engino at Carter's
creek, Inviting one of his friends to go with
him. Ills friend docliuod, informing Roborft-
son of the danger in riding on an engino.
Cliff 1*. Kennedy, passenger agent of C. M. and
8t. Paul railroad, who was on tho accommoda
tion, says they wero running at least forty
miles an honr when they met.
A. I.. Robinson's watch wasbrokentn two by
first, that Engineer Beech of the special train
looked at his watch wrong; second that ho
looked at his tlma card wrong; third, and the
most nrohable, that instead of side tracking
at Duck river, aa waa bis custom, ho arrived
at Duck River ahead of timo and tried to
make Dark's Mills, the next station, three
mllea further on.This Is the theory entartainod
by the railroad officials hero.
Nashville, Tenn., July SI.—[Special.] —
The terrible collision at Durks mills last
uight, by which seven men lost their llvoi, is
■till the sutyect of universal diocu talon and ro-
gret. The cause of the accident is now clearly
traceable to the crew* of tho special engino.
When it pasaed Duck river etation. one of
Beech's friends eald to him that he could not
make the next station, Dark's mills, to which
he responded: "Oh, yes I can. I have six
minutes to do it in."
In Columbia this morning tho following
gentlemfiB wero empanelled as a jurv of In
quest by Wm. Wood, actlugcoroner ltobt. U.
Gust, J. II. Hodge, Uco. C. Taylor, Johnson
Davis. F. E. Wood, Wm. J. Caldwell and 0.
W. Wetherspoon. They examined Lester
Drake, Mgjor John T. Wilhsnsou and Alex.
Fall, who were passengers on tho accommoda
tion. Mr. Drake stated to tho jury that from
his knowledge of the speed of tho train that
his train waa moving about forty miles an
honr. No other facts were developed
bey or. (1 what was ascertained and furnished
last night. Tho examination was postponad
until half past two o’clock tomorrow evening,
when the other witnesses will be examined,
Including the train dispatcher, who was on
duty when the accident occurred, who has
been summoned to appear and produce what
ever orders ha issued regarding the running
of tha two trains. The remains of Monroe
Wilson were taken to his grlaf-strickoB rela
tives at Campbell Station today, accompanied
by an escort of the Knights of Pythias from
his lodge Henry Lowman was a member of
Cumberland lodge, free and accepted Masons
of Kaahville, who were requested to tako
charge of h!s remains. The remains of Robert
P. Brown will bo interred beside those
of his father at ML Olivet. The rail
road officials spared neither pains nor
money to reader what assistance wm
necessary. There wm a general disposition
on the part of all of our pcopl* to do some
thing. Many hundreds viewed the remains
at Brook’s undertaking establishment during
the day. Many ladies contributed oholce
flowers. The remains of A. II, Robertson
were placed in a magnlficont matallc casket,
and forwarded to Laport, Ind., for burial.
The n mains of the other unfortunates wore
taken in charge by the railroad company, who
will forward them to relatives An old rsi'road
man stated that he had boeniu many wreck*,
hot had never witnetled one where the wark
of destruction was so complete. Huge pieces
of iron were torn tn two. The engines are
nothing more than a mtes of scrap iron.
Road Master Claik completed a temporary
track aioond the wreck this evening.

MOUNT ZfOfl CAMPGROUND.
I went to chnrch the other night. A cloud
less, summer night, with the moon it its full. A
pretty, quiet and modest little church in the sub
urbs, ministered to by a great big hearted Metho
dist pieat her, Rev. J. If. Austin. While listening
to bis sermon and the sweet old hymns of his se
lection, my thoughts wandered away out into mem
ory's church yard, and with eyes that were turned
backward I began to read the inscriptions on the
crumbling stones erected there. A scene that
transpired many years ago came forcibly to min J,
and she contrast between past and present
too striking to be lightly cast aside.
Jn the upper part of Brooks county there was a
magnificent piece of woodland. Spreading oaks
and towering hickories were interspersed with
arrowy pines and knotted gum trees. Two stream*
met there, and in the angle was the wood. The
pioneers chose that spot for a place of worship.
Like Hi© Hebrews of old. they pitched their taber
nacle there, and from that diy till thl«, though
more than half a century ha* Intervened, it has
been holy ground. Not able to stand the expense
of a roof of board-, they set up rough posts, laid
long poles from one to another, and oovered the
whole with the green branches of forest tree**. A
thick carpet of rough pine needles covered the
ground, and lop split in half, with the flat sido
smoothed off, furnished the benches. This was
Mount Zion camp ground.
Here the rough and untutored pioneers or the
wire grass stsembled annually in October for a
week’s enjojmentof the communion of saints. The
particular scene of which I write, oocurred on
Monday night. Sunday’s services had been of un*
usual intcrc-t. aud numbers felt the thrill of a new
bom hope in their hearts. A powerful preacher
occupied the stand. His theme was the beauty of
the divine religion of the meek and lowly Galll-
lean, aud mo6t touching was the description. The
night was one of those rare nights of Indian sum
mer. In s fathomless sky twinkled the hosts ot
Heaven, and there wm no moon to cast the weird
shadows upon the earth, l-'ire hundred rough
faces were upturned in au awesome gueonthe
speaker, and hearts beat faster m he ascended
from one height to another. It wm sublime.
The tallow candles burned low in their rough
sockets, and their feeblo flame flickered In au un
certain way when Uic night air was stirred by tho
fluttering wing of abenlghted bird. Higher and
higher mounted the eloquence of the preacher,
and none wished to break the spell by replenish
ing the lights. Suddenly the preacher seemed to
notice the falling lights, and in the midst of a
beautiful figure he paused, and in tones m soft as a
woman he said, "And God said lot there bo light
and there was light. Almighty God, wilt thou
send light that I may tell this people more of the
glories of that land that is lighted by the divine
prcxnce that surpaa^eth the light of a summer
day?" Excitement wm wrought to an intemlty
that wm painful. Men hung breathless on the
glowing words.
Slowly as Metis the dawn on the hill tops, broke
a soft radlcuco that was not of earth. Men looked
into each other's face* with a rapturous awe, and
the countenance of the minister sliono with a
luster akin to the glory that lighteth the face of tho
mighty law giver when he descended tho rocky
steeps of Sinai, Then there went up a grand about
that reverberated among the lonely plue barrens,
and one triumphant hallelujah burst from a hun
dred bearded throats. Men sang and shouted and
took each other by tho hand, aud such another
scene wm never witnessed on this hallowed spot
where tho pinions of holy angels have so often
hovered. One old Mock owner from a remote dis
trict sent up his familiar "cow holler," aud with a
bound he reached the side of the holy man, whose
body ho clasped in an earnest embrace.
Few of those grand old men are alive today,
That old stock owner was never known to slog
a tuna In all his long life, but the night he dlod
ho suduon y roused from his lothargy, and burst
Into a song. "I'm Glad Salvation’s Free," ho
I sang until tho ancient walls of his dwelling •choed
I the joyous refrain. To restrain the ebbing tide ot
life a little while, they propoted to him to drink a
little brandy. "No," he answered, "I promised
my God when I was a boy that not one drop of
tho flery liquid should ever defile my lips. I have
lived in tho faith of my fathers, aud I am too near
tho frontiers of eternity uow to break faith with
my Maker." The physician, who loved the old
man, turned away his face aud wept like a child."
As for tbo minister who delivered that memora
ble sermon he passed away m become a man of
bis character. lie lived an upright and uvcfhi
life. He preached constantly. Ills manner wm
m cheerful aa if there wm no sorrow on earth. One
bright sunshiny day he paused in tho middle of
his sermon and gazing thoughtfully at his hoarers,
ho said: "Brethren, It has been my desire to dlo In
tho harness. Take care of my wife and children.
1 want to show you how ca*y It is for a Christian
to die." As the last words fell from his lips he
sank to the floor, and when the half dozen strong
arms raised his prostrate body ho wm
dead. There wm a smilo of heavenly
beauty on the pallid lips, aud the
sightless eyes were closed m if in slumber. Ho had
died without a moan or a atiuggle.
Several times the arbor and tents have been de.
itroyed and rebuilt. They still have camp meet
ing at Mount Zion. The place has boon set apart
m an Inheritance for the desciples forever. It is
one ploco ot real estate that cannot he purchased.
Generations have been boru, grown tip and been
gathered to their fathers. I suppose that Norman
Campbell still keep* the old polished horn hang
ing on a convenient uall. and Its roollow notes
sound the call to praycra on the crisp October air
MllhM done ao oft In days of yore. There are
gtay headed followers of the cross who came there
first in the glory of a young aud
bouyant manhood, and now aged feet
totter over the ground hallowod by a thousand
sacred memories. Their eyes have been dimmed by
the sunlight of sixty summers, hut their hearts are
true as steel. Under the quiet shade of the trees
there are scores of veterans who are pcrmauently
tenting on the old campground. It Is a spot
where one loves to linger, and despite the changes
that time hath wrought. It is Mount Zion still.

Chicago, July 21.—The eljrht tnirchUtn
moved silently Into Judgo Gnry’e conrt thin
morning. Thera wna * thoughtful look la
fjpie.’a face ns ho took his sent, and, Indeed,
sombre melancholy seemed to brood over tho
entlte gang, with tho exception of Ungg.
Not n dull moment elapsed during the After,
noon. Tbejury, lawyers, judge and npeeta
lor, wore kept fixedly, without tho allghtest
relaxation, at the nmo high tension to which
they were railed when the day's oxettlng do*
velopmenls began In the early morning hoars.
Etch juror and all tbo defendant, wore
provided with broad palm leaf fans,
tut deaplte tha heat of the room
tbo cooling articles wort given scarcely a
thought, while tbo owners, with toads of per-
ipiratlon on their faces, listened with strained
attention. Wien Foster had resumed the
cross examination of Seligor after recess, tho
conduct dr Llngg was a study, as It gradually
became evident that the main part of the ia-
former’s disclosures waa over, and that the
lawyers for the defense were Inmognratlng a
vigorous series of attack, to break the force of
tho man's evidence. Llngg slowly recovered
part of his composure. His
eyes were furtively raised from
the Hoot, then the just visible down on his
upper lip was softly stroked, a, lawyers be
gan to entangle tho witness regarding minor
restores of the testimony. Finally Llngg
rested ono heel on the lower round of his
chtlr and drew tho other foot np in such a
manner u to form a support for n largo pad
of paper, upon which bo proceeded to draw
caricatures of the Informer. He waa ill at
ease, however, and pursued the occupation
fitfully. Appsrently in spltoof himself his
attention went to the witness, snd it waa nec
essary to resort to other expedients
than the drawing board to suc
ceed in tha efforts to maintain an
attitude of Indifference. One question pleased
Llngg immensely, snd thf lawyer repeated It
in a different form whenever the spirits of tho
congest of the defendants seemed parttcalar-
f low.
“You are sure,’’ Hr. Foster would ask, “that
Llngg Is tho man who said tho bomba would
be ino best of fodder for tho capitalists snd
police?”
A frighteied “yes” always followed from the
informer, and Lings invariably chuckled with
the most intense delight.
A determined attempt wss made by tha
defense to show that the bombs msnnfactnrod
tho afternoon of the day on which tho mas
sacre occurred had no necessary connection
with tho riot in Haymarket.
“Waa it agreed between you and the men
who had the bombs that nltht at Clayborne
avenue,” asked Ur. Foster, “that anyone of
you were to go the Haymarket mating?"
“No, but
“Stop right there,” thundered the attorney
for the anarchists to the trembling figure in
the witness chair.
“No, well, yes or no.”
“Do you know of the manufacture of bombs
hy toy person to to used against the police on
tho night of tho 4th of Hay'/”
“Yes—no—I cannot tsY.”
Witness was In a state of abject terror.
“Then It was not agreed by yon and tha men
who made those bombs that any of you wore
going to Haymarket?”
“There was plenty said about going.”
“Bat no particular person said ho was go
ing?”
“No.”
Being cress-examined, Sellger said when
arrested he was not placed in a nolsomo oell
away from the light and air. Ha (till occu
pies an exactly similar cell to tha first one as
a matter of choice for solf-protcctioa.
Mr. Foster bent over whllo ho nod Captain
Black consulted together.
In n moment Hr. Foster said
“Sellger, Is the lady who site over thoro be
hind Captain Schaalk your wife?”
.“Yea. 1 ’
A little dried up looking womtn In russet
dock and dlrgy, straw bat suddenly became
the center of attraction. Seligor told how,
upon being liberated by Captain Schaack, he
and bla wife went homo together.
Hrs. Sellger wss placed upon tho wltnem
eland and gava her testimony In a thin, treble
voire. She was very nervous and at times
eml stressed but displayed nono of tho craven-
new that characterized her husband. •
Lingg, she said, came to Jboard with them
two weeks beforo Christmas.
"Did yon ever see any bombs in yon
honse?”
“Shortly beforo Hay I saw some as Llngg
waa about to hide them. There wero atom a
half dozen lying in bil tod which he wanted
to hide. Both Tong ones and round ones, gas
pipes snd shells, ware there.'’ She had no talk
w ltb him then about bomba. After Llngg had
lett tbo houae she did not sea any mora of
them. On tha night of tho riot she board
l«opla say that a bomb had fallea
at llaymarket. That day there ware several
men in her home, six or eight—perhaps still
more. Among them Hentoner, Hnomsn,
Thiel, Llngg, snd bar hatband. Tho men
were working upon bomba. She did not pay
particular attention, but remembered that
Huinian waa filing. 8ald Hra. Sellger: “I
wa» In the kitchen when supper was ready.
I went In where mon were. 1 was so mid I
could throw them out.”
'Are you a socialist?” Interjected the state’s
attorney.
“No,” snapped the witness.
They always scold me. I frequently saw
Llngg molting lead right on my cooking
stove. Twice Hucmsn wss with him, and
onco Thiel and my husband. Llngg would
say to me: “Don't act so foolishly, standing
there; you might to doing something, too.' ”
Wilncw saw Llngg the day after the bomb
was tbrewu. He wss at home in tha forenoon,
lie wanted tn bide some tombe in the olothee
closet. She heard some hammering In
room, and went In. She
•aid to him: “Hr. Llngg, what are yon doing
there? I will not suffer that," Ho was tsar-
leg out a part of tho wall, Llngg retorted:
“You are crasy. I will have to look for a

Mr. H. F. Everett then rfise and said he
regretted that some one mote eloquent than he
wss had not been chosen to introduce the orstorof
the evening—a man who had fought the liquor
truffle from Virginia to the Mississippi river. He
then presented Rev. Dr. J. B. Hawthorne to the
audience amid the most hearty snd enthusiastic
applause. Dr. Hawthorne Is a tall and wiry man
of perhaps fifty, with a pronounced Grecian profile
and a manner indicative of deliberation rather
than dash. His physique is imposing, and he
would attract attention in any crowd m a man
upon whom Nature had stamped the word "leader"
tn unseen but unmistakable character. When he
came down to the footlights, "with the eye of a
prophet and the air or a prince," the audience sur
rendered snd wm held captive to the end of his
magnificent speech. Dr. Hawthorne began by say-
in it be wm glad of an opportunity to renew bis ac
quaintance with this city, and to speak
to this assembly ou the greatest
question now agitating. the American
people. Continuing, he said, "I listened with
rapture to the speiker who bade the Good Tem
