wreck occurred at 6:20 o'clock last night at the Cherry street opening of Vie Decatur yards Shortly after 6 o'clock freight train No 72 which was due three hone before arrived There were twentyone cars in the train the majority of which were Laden with ootton several with coal The switch engine started with the freight on the side track next to the warehouse to let patenger train No 2 pais This track extends for two hundred yards along the warehouse of the Nashvil Warebonee Elevator Corn petty to Cherry street where there was strong bracing of posts and curved rails to prevent cars from running into the street The grade alor the aide track is very harp and much caution is required to prtvent cars from jumping the tract at its end On the track last night about fifty yards from Cherry atteet were two cars loaded with cotton Freight train No 72 bad barely been switched to this side-track when the couplirig-pin of the eighth car from the engine brcke and in a few seconds fourteen cars were dashing down the track toward Cherry street They struck the two stationary care with great force and hurled them forward with tremendous velocity The avalanche of cars gained impetus with every revolution of the wheels and when the brain) and carved rails were they were dashed aside and scUtered without hardly a jar in the onaid movement The end cars bounded down the embankment and across the street but fortunately no person was in the way A colored girl narrowly escaped the front car almost blushing her as it surged forward but she was not touched The impetus was great that one of the cars climbed a six-foot embankment on the mit aide of the street and crushed the front wall of the residence of Niaj Andrew Burr president of the Nashville Warehouse and Elevator Compsny from the first to the s2cond floor The windows and inner work of the lower front chamber were broken to piece and a none crevice crevice made in the wail toward the side No one wee in the room at the time but servants to the rear thought that a cannon had fired when they heard the crash Maj Burr is in New York The cars barely missed the drug store of Owen This was a frame struo ture and had the airs moved cne foot to the left it would inevitably have been crushed and its occupants killed or injured Four cars jumped the track and completely blockaded the street Street car traffic was stopped but travel along the railroad was not interrupted The derailed cars were replec2d on the aide track at 1:20 o'clock this morning IlUAD ON!

citizen of Dover new and interesting circu mistimes connected with thiienn'ionI killing of A Rodent that place Sonde afternoon by DrT Smith At Tea AMERICAN yestreday stated the trardy was caused by the attempt of Roder to force himself into the presence of Mrs Sallie Smith the widowed eisterin-law of the slayer It appears that bout a year and a half ago Roder who is a widower began to press a lover's suit upon Mrs Smith and wes promptly rejticted 'Phi a vexed him extremely but be dropped the matter and seemed to be satisfied with the result until he wu told that the lady bad changed her mind and bad written to him to that This was a mistake as the lady never liked him Roder of course did not rtceive the letter Ile charged Postmaster Bruton with intercepting IL So great was his anger that he even went to Washington City to prefer charge against Bruton The department failing to remove Bruton Roder armed hinies with a club went to the postallos and gave him a severe beating whom came near resulting fatally Roder was indicted for this assault and tut April was tried convictid end fined POO This kept him quiet till a few weeks ago when be announced that he would see Mils Smith or aie He claimed that someof his friends had Interviewed her and that she wanted to see him but was prevented from doing so by the threats of her father and her husband' family Dr A Stone her father who is a very old man lives about tea miles from Dover Last Friday Roder went to Dr Stone's house but not finding Mrs Smith there be left after severely abusing the entire remit This greatly frightened Mn mall and she sent for her brother and brother inlay who quietly oonducted her to Dover next morning and placed her in charge of her husband's family for better protection Sunday morning Roder returned to Dr Stone's and finding no one present but Mrs Stone be demanded of her the whereabouts of Mn Smith His manner was so violent that Mrs Stone fled the house Roder pursued but did not overtake her until she had gotten far into the woods He again demanded to know where Mrs Smith was when Mrs Stone told him she wad at her father-in-law's house at Dover This and his failure to find her after a thorough search of the premises seemed to satisfy Roder and he returned to Dover reaching there about 11 o'clock in the morning Very soon he met Dr Smith Mrs Smith's fatherin law and told him that he was informed that Mrs Billie Smith was at his house end that he mutt see her Dr Smith told him that his daughter in-law did not want to see him that she had appealed to him for shelter and protection and that he Roder must not attempt to see her in his house by force While Roder and Dr Smith were talking his two sons Dr Smith and Smith the latter cm-cult court clerk came up and warned Ruder to leave He did so but remained In town until late in the evening when he wu seen dulling out of town on horseback In about an hour he returned on a different horse hitched him to a reek and proceeded in a hurry to Dr Smith's house where he was met by the Doctor's a to Dr Smith who forbade him to enter Roder did not heed this but placing his hand on his hip pocket he advanced on Smith who backed several gape and then drew his pistol and fired four shots at Roder in quick succession two taking effeck one in the left breast Just below the heart the Other which was fired just as Roder wheeled in the right side of the back Vow inquest was held Monday morning but the coroner's Jury did not state in the verdict whether the killing was unlawful or justifiable Dr Smith was on the street several times during the day expecting that Ro- dints friends would have him arrested but as no steps were taken in that tion about I o'clock he gave himself up to the Sheriff The Sherillheld him few hours but finding no one who would lodge complaint egainst him Smith was released Dr Smith is at bottle and it is aid will in no way avoid an investigation Gents Furnishings at the Lowest Possille

The American: I thipk the politieal world is permit ting itself to be unneeessarily thandel-struck with the recent revelations of Chauncey Depew and Fred Grant 1 The whole story amounts to about this: Lincoln nes assaMinated and Johnson became President at about the same time when Lee surrendered stud the Confederacy collapsed Johnson was at that time suspected by hotheaded people not only without evidence but against the evidence of complicity in the assassination conepiraey This suspicion was audibly whispered and though it was not credited by sober-minded men even among Johnson's enemies yet it probably bad its effect on his actions and especially his professions Johnson moreover was aware that by hie fierce declaration that "treason must be made odious and traitors punished" he only expressed the sentiment of a large part of the fanatical element of the Republican party To conciliate that faction was policy with him because as a Southern man coming to the Presidency at sueh a crisie and under such circumstances it was from it that he would look for opposition ouspicion accusation and embarrassment I do not believe that Andrew Johnson was an opium eater the me York Sun suggests but he waR a hard drinker and whenever he had indulged to excees for any long period of time the effect upon his temper was strongly marked It was unfavorable to amiability making him unkind and exceedingly rude and offensive in his manners When he was inaugurated as Vice President on the 4th of March 1865 he had been on one of the most protracted sprees of his life and was at the time so inebriated as to make himself a spectacle as he attempted incoherently to utter an inaugural address His friend the elder Blair toot him from aehington to his country home to sober up This 'was scracely six weeks before the death of Lincoln How well Mr Blair succeeded in his good office I am unable to say but the temper displayed by Johnson or gt least the tone of his utterances and some of his official conduct indicate that the whisky devil was not as yet fully exorcised when he came to the Presidency Nevertheless we must regard much of his loyal fury as assumed No politician was a more complete master of buncomb than Andrew Johnson His utterances were loud and repeated that "treason must be made odious and traitors punished" Yet he was issuing pardons by the hundreds or thousands all the time and the cases of punishment were few I am not his apologist for he counted the writer among his enemies It was my purpose to support him in the right and oppose him in the wrongregardless of our personal dislike which was mutual The result was that in many things I was against him I can readily believe in Grant's opposition to any such cruel programme as that attributed to Johnson It would be in accord with the magnanimous nature of Grant and perhaps not unlike the cunning nature of Johnson to place Gen Grant in that position Johnson's view of the matter would be that Grant can afford to take this position Johnson cannot No doubt Gen Grant thought President Johnson sincere and so he may have been for the time but I doubt it With all his faults be 'hardly wished more than to humiliate some of the proud 1 aders of the rebellion and to gain credit with the fanatical faction 1 which he feared Johnson did take an unworthy pleasure in the humiliation of his enemies but he generally was content with The other story indicates that Andrew Johnson had become sober A little time had passed The assassins had been tortured tried after a sort and executed Mrs Surratt also bad been put to death to the disgrace of the nation The public fever had cooled' Congress had refused admission to the representatives of the States lately in rebellion trampling under foot the Constitution and its own solemn pledge to the country made pending the war as well as the like assurance given by the Executive branch of the Government during Lincoln's first term Congress after the first battle of Manassas had Fund I almost unanimously a resolution which I quote from memory in substance vouching to the country and the world "that the war should not be waged for any purpose of oppression or of confiscation or for the subversion of the institutions of any of the States but to uphold the Constitution and preserve the Union with all the dignity equality and rights of the several States unimpaired And when these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease" And as late as the year 1863 as I remember the Department of State Mr Seward being its head issued a State paper in the form of a cir: cular letter to our representatives in foreign countries pledging the' Washbigton Government to this 'effect in reaped to theterins on which the revolted could return to the Union a clause of which in substance was "that all the States in rebellion had to do was to cease to Wage war upon the Government and return their representatives and senators to Congress" They were not to be denied representation but the Congress of the common country was open to representatives and senators of the revolting States whenever they should lay own their arms and return to the Union Now the fulfillment of We solemn pledge was all that Andrew Johnson proposed to Gen Grant as appears from the narrative of Mr Dopey He represents Gen Grant as saying that "Tee President sent for bins and said the radical measures of Congress were revolutionary and would desttey the ciuntry The war was over and the Republic wanted peace and that was possible only by a union of all sections The provisional governments provided for the seceded Buttes were temporary expodientiN without constitutioaal authority and the States bad all the rights and should poesess all the powere they bad before the war He had perfected a scheme to accomplish this result and with Gen Grant's assistance its success was assured He would by proclamation direct the rebel States to send to Wuhlegion their full quota of senators and representatives He had assurances from enough members from the Nor I who united with them would make a quorum of one House at least if not both The Congrese th is formed he would recognise and Install at the cant tat the other Northern members did Dot choose to idn they would be a powine rump meeting in some hall" This being the truth President Janson to do just what the 1 proposeu To a DRY 000 DS WE ARE NOW Singular Vegetation Found in the Cot fine of the Dead Bloomington (1114 Letter to Chicago Tribune The following letter written to a near relative in 1848 recently fell into my hands The writer an octogenarian is still living and I am induced to make it public together with some other matters pertaining to this subject hoping it may stimulate inquiry into so curious a topic The letter related to the removal of a number of relatives from an old burying ground in one of the cities of New England and substantially read as follows: The disinterment was done under my personal supervision as carefully anti respectfully as such things should be The first of the graves opened contained the remains of your grandmother but being too decayed for removal she was placed in a new case Your grand-father's coffin however was entire and was taken up without in the least dimturbirg the contents only the fastenings of the lid wee gone and the admirable preservation of the coffin induced me to contemplate for the first and last time the semblance el my respected ancestor who had departed this life nearly sixty years before The skeleton was entire and growing over it inside the ceflin feet under ground in a dry gravel soil was a little vine which bad year after year spread its meshes like a web over the entire corpse and to be still alive and growing! It was snowy white and cold as ice a fit inhabitant of the dark and silent grave In the coffins of your mother and brother the same little vine was found growing If you remember consumption has for many years made sad havoc in our family and these three are said to have died of this disease Sow there a tradition among the Germans that if a decendant pluck from the corpse of the last victim of consumption this little vine it will eradi cate the disease from the family If there be anything in it which I hardly believe consumption has been destroyed from ours for I had the temerity to tear it away from the remains of your brother the thought of which makes me shudder even now disclosing as it did the ghastly skeleton which this growth 1ad kindly endeavored to conceal In another grave I found sprcu's growing from the head the hair cf which was well preserved though hurled well-nigh three-score years This vine or sprcnt was also white but spalkled like an ice-plant and on close examinabion it proved to belong to the common sorrel family whose tenacity of life enable it to grow four or more feet under gronnd Many years ago in Smithfield a family was fast becoming extinct from consumption Through the advice of friends the last victim of this disease was disinterred and on opening the coffin this vampire or consumption-vine was found growing from the breast of the dead The body was afterward burned the friends hoping in this way to exterminate this dreadful malady In an old abbey in Dumfermiline Fifeehire Scotland workmen while excavating for laying the foundation of a new building came upon well-preserved stone sarcophagi tightly covered with slabs of stones On removing the cover seemingly this same curious vine or fungus was found growing over the skeleton In another of these stone receptacles for the dead which were evidently many hundred years old the body of some great dignitary was found in perfec4 preservation Crowds came from near and far to view these remains and there was some controversy at the time as to the unusual growth in the coffin and the identity of the unknown celebrity The removal of my informant soon after the event prevented further particulars In conversation with an old cemetery superintendent headmitted sometimes finding a net-work of rootlets in the coffins of those long dead and nothing more suggesting the discovery of what was supposed to be the grave of Roger Williams "in which when opened no remains of the skeleton even be found for the roots of an apple tree planted above had embraced the skull trunk and limbs and preserved their shape" Naturei the wonderful alchemiet having corn- pletel3 transformed and utilized the poisonous elements thus adding another proof of the countless resources of the creator who can turn to purpose even the refuse and decay of the grave Many amthe tales told and read of wonderful growths of hair found in the coffins of the dead years afterbariel which cover the unsightly remain with a garment clearly shoeing-that nature in its most repulsive forms is endowed with an artistic sense which would fain hide what is hideous and change ugliness into beauty and use MIIR Paillcz Hog Peeking In the West CINCINNATI Oct Cincinnati Price Crirrentewill state to-morrow that the number of hogs packed in the West list week is 265000 against 195000 for a corresponding time lest year The total to date from March 1 is 4610000 agaitot 8975000 a year ago The movement sines March 1 at the principal points is as follows: Chicago 2410000 Kansas City 773000 Milwaukee 217000 In dianapolls181000 Cedar Rapips183000 St Louis 18000 Cleveland lamoo!

two ears ago Weighing something over 200 pounds with a massive head from which his hair is combed back a la pompadour he will indeed form a strong contrast physically to Slosson and Schaefer when the
