Closing Scenes of the Session. The Legislature closed its session of twenty-seven w orking days on the day before Christmas at half-past three o'clock in the morning. It was busy .1oin the beginning, and the rush of work during the last three days was something stupendous-from eighty to a hitidred bills being put throigh their reading each day. Besides this -A superitendent anid directors of the mekientiary and a comptroller-general were elected. The resignation of Colonel Colt was a surprise to most people. lie had been exonerated from all blame by a committee of both houses, anQ I peculiary -liability was removed by a two-thirds vote. Still he preferred not to hold the ofile, as lie felt that le would be an'object of detraction to a discontented clement. So soon as he coukd retire gracefully he did so. Ile carries into his retiremellt the heart Ielt sympathy and the profound re spect of ill well minided citizens. In, mnediately upon the announcement of his resignation there wias a preceptible flutter in political circles. A mong the gentlemen nanied for the comptroller ship wero Capt. James N. Lipscomb, of Newberry, Major 11. A. Meetze, of Lexington, Mr. James E. Black, of Spartanbyrg, Capt. W. E. Stoney, clerk in the comptroller's office, Gen. J. Walter Gray, of Greenville, and General Bratton. The frieids of the last naied gcntleman obtained is periissioni to put hii in nloini-iiation, but some delay was caused owing to his absence from the city, and lie l was not annouilced until the night before the election. In the leantile the friends of General Gray and of Captain Lip sconib had been very active. The olh or gentlemen did not enter the race. The friends-of General Gray were es pecially confident, and the young ele mneint in the Legislature combined in his favor. Canvassing was very active the evening before and the day of the election. The result is known. Cap tain Lipscomb declined to run an( the conitest narrowed down to General Biratton and General Gray. The lat ter's strength camne chiiefly froin the line of the Greenville Railroad and from the young men. General Lh'atton lost two votes in York, one ini Chester, one in Fairtield, one ini iershmaw, and got a p~retty solid vote from Pco Dce and the mhitkle and lower counties. After thle election on *Wedniesday the Legislature hauled off for refresh lments amid got t~o work agvain. On Thursday atL three o'clock they ad journed, the .llouse until half-past eight and the Senate until ten at night. Nothing of any importance was trans Acted until about, eleven o'clock at night. In thme meantimie the Governor gave a formal reception to the memi bers. Groups ot ten or twelve at a time rep~aired to his oflce, where, with his aides, lhe enltertainied them socially with chaumpagne and "absorbenmt.." The ehamnpagne and the absorbent blended very hiarmioniiouisly. Enough c hampa~ugne to prevent the absorbent's beh. too dry. ~I), and eniough absorbent to k'ebp thec champagne from being oQ-wet. All of tile regular work of the day -bding completed, thie Ihouse amused itself with ai mock sessioni, ini which the bJody was presided over by Johnny Lake, of Edgelield, the small est page in the House. Hie is very b~right , and createdl much amiusement by the manner in which he imitated * Speaker Shiepplard1. While this was going on some countrymen ca * see the House,an aba a-. vdnl taken ~%immgs 8 inmnner ini which the p)ro cednswere conducted. Said one, tuirninig to his comlpanlions, "'I'm coin p10et13 disgusted. This is the way they waste the peop~le's money," and they stalked off. There wvill have to be seome tall explaining done by their represontatives at the next primary. The fact is that the Ihouse was only waitinig for midnight ini order to b~egini awnew legislative day, necessary for the third reading of a large nu'nber of bills5. As soon as time hour- of mid night arrived, everything was hmardl at work. .In the Seniato there was a final *struggle over~ the question of leasing conivicts to railroads, but the oppo uenits of the measure again tri mnphed. Thllen the Senate sent a message to t he Jionse thait it was ready for the ratiji cation of acts. Speaker Sheppard and Clerk Sloani and such of the ;nemnbers (1s were noQt too tired or too sleepy or otherwilse engaged, repaired to thme Seniate Chamber, w here thle Lieutenant Governor amnd the Speaker signmed at least a hundred amid fifty bills,. closing ump time caleitdar. Then the liouse ic turned. and then both adjourned sine die at half-past thiree ini the mioriniiig, time members from tihe low country hurrying oflf to catch their special trahmi.

A Fimgut NaIn .%uns into a "Break Loosr" Witlh Fatal Rtesults-A Faithnful Engineer's mravery - Several rorsous Rilled and Voukded. nAnlLOTr , N. C.,.Deceinber 27. Intelligence of another frightful rail road disaster reached this city this amorning about eight o'clock. It oc .curred on the Air Line Railroad, five hundred yards beyond Paw Creek trestle, nino miles Xinom the city, about seven o'clock. Two fireight trains, of the usual si 0, left Charlotte yesterday morning i ections-one about flifeen minutes behind the other. At Paw Creek tres tlo fourteen cars of the forward train Engineer Anthony, broke looso and stopped, after running a short dis tanee. In the rear car were Flagman Bob Griffith, of this city, and six pas sengers three of whom were colored. When the detached cars stopped Flag man Grillith jumped off, anld, having told the trainimen to notify the passen gers that they had brokeit loose from the remainder of the train, immediate ly started back to signal the second section, which he kinew must be only a few miles behind. lie had not. gone back far before he heard the approach ing train blow, and then rea ized the fact that he could proceced no further because of the trestle, which is one hundred and fifty yards long and very high. lie waivtied his flag as the en gine, in charge of Eingincor Wisen erry, camne in sight., and the engineer expressed his recoginition of the signal by imnediately blowing on brakes, bit his train was heavy, and he was nearing the bottom of one of the big gest grades on the road. Hence it was ipossiblo to stop. As soon as, he realized this 'act, and before crossing the trestle. ho reversed his engine and contimed to blow on brakes. Real izing the catastro phIe, he left his seat and, standing in tront of the fire box with his hand on Ilp lever, awaited the shock. It came, itid lie was par tially knocked dovn by a stick of wood from the t.iler, but was other wiso unhurt, though abnost entirely shut in by the mass of debris which was thrown against the engine. Hlis life was probably saved by the flt that the rear of 0lie teLder was throm to onme side, thus diverting the full miiomenitumn of the train froi the en gine to the side of the cut, agaitist which the shattered cars were piled ip. All the passeigers in the cib of the foremost section were either killed or seriously injured.' Thomas A. Gaither, of this city, escaped with broken ibst bit I Philip 8. Wisrant, also of tlis city, Charlie Sellers, of Piihook, aind a negro named Ned. Stroud, were iistatly killed. The wreck caught fire and burned tp, and att least. oinC man was burned alive, as his cries could be heard, but nothing could be done ior him. Mr. (Gaither was tle sole survivor- of the passengers inl the Cabl. A large foreo of men is now engagred in inoving the wreck and building a track around H.
