FORNEY, Nov. 10 - Special. Monday evening as No. 1, a passenger train, was going west under Conductor Ben Collins, two tramps boarded the train for a blind baggage ride. The negro porter ordered them off, and one refused. The negro picked up a burt cinder, weighing about five pounds, and threw it with all his force, hitting the poor, unfortunate creature in the face, completely smashing his nose and otherwise disfiguring him. The man fell to the ground in an insensible state. Dr. Stroud attended him and dressed his wounds, and he is still here in a pitiable condition. The party injured claims to be E.C. Andrews, from St. Louis.

Warrants were issued for the arrest of the negro, but he was telegraphed to from this point concerning it, and he has abandoned his run. The people are very much incensed over the affair, and should the gentleman be caught he will receive a full bond.

Miss Ida Crawford, a charming young lady, and daughter of Captain Jones Crawford, was married to Mr. William Dallas this evening at ? o'clock by Rev H.I. McQuirter. An elegant reception was given by the bride's parents to her many friends.

Professor John Kelly, the celbrated California violinist, gives a concert tonight at the Forney Hall.

A new telegraph operator arrived recently at Mr. and Mrs. W.P. Newtons. Mother and father both doing well.

Dr. Goodman, of Tyler, arrived today to visit G.W. Reynolds, of this town. Mr. Reynolds is improving and Dr. Stroud, his physician, thinks, with no change, he will recover.
