A WRECK NEAR AMERICA Five Men Injured and Two of

Them May Die.

WAS A REAR END COLLISION

A Freight Train Runs Into a Construction

Train-Not Properly Flagged Was the

Cause of the Accident.

A collision occurred about noon yester- day near America, thirty miles west of

Birmingham, resulting in the injury of

five men and the probable death of two.

The trains involved were No. 41, west-

bound freight, coal laden, In charge of

Engineer Mathews and Conductor Dil-

lard, and a construction train drawn by engine No. 336. The injured are:

James Bailes, colored, laborer on con-

struction train; seriously hurt, may die.

Unknown colored laborer on construc- tion train; badly Injured, perhaps fatally.

Engineer Mathews of the freight train; badly hurt by jumping.

Andrew Townsend, colored, laborer on

construction train; slightly Injured. Philip Sewell, colored, fireman on

freight train; leg broken by jumping. It seems that the work train was stand-

ing on the track near a curve and was not properly protected in the rear by flag signals, and was discovered too late by the engineer to prevent running into it.

The engine of the freight train was bad- ly damaged and the caboose of the con- struction train was smashed.

The three negro laborers who were in- jured, It Is supposed, were in the caboose of the construction train when the latter was struck. Two of them are known to be seriously and perhaps fatally hurt, but the exact character of their Injuries have not yet been learned.

Trainmaster Williams, on being ap- prised of the wreck, went to the scene from this city on a special train and will soon have the track clear. The Injured men were taken to America, where medi- cal aid was had and where they remain at present.

Germetuer Is the Best. Mr. C. P. McLain. Aoworth, Ga., says:

“Several years ago my wife suffered from attacks of bilious colic and indigestion. She used different medicines and tried several doctors, but all without perma- nent benefit. She used Royal Germetuer some years ago, and It has given her moire relief than all else, and she recommends it to the afflicted.” Write to the Atlanta Chemical company, Atlanta, Ga., for 48- page book, giving full Information, free.

theIaptist revival

The Attendance Continues Large and Much Good Is Being Accomplished—Last

Night’s Services.

The revival services at the First Bap- tist church continue to call out large and appreciative audiences.

Nearly all of the church goers in the city have listened with pleasure to Mr. Jacobs' singing. His distinct vocaliza- tion and sweet tones add greatly to the choir feature of the services.

Dr. White, the distinguished divine, preached an able sermon last night from Hebrews: "Repentance towards God and faith towards the Lord Jesus Christ.”

In exposition of his text he said that repentance was the gift of God. “No man can repent at any time. This is sus- tained in Timothy and In Acts. Without God's help you cannot repent. God cre- ated both Heaven and earth. He made the clouds, the sun, the rain, the soil ami the grain of wheat that Is planted In the eoil. Man can put the grain of wheat In the soli, but without the rain and sun

there can be no harvest. So God gives ■us the opportunltyof repenting tonight. The holy word is preached to you and He extends to you an opportunity for repent- ing. Will you seize it? This is God’s time. Turn from sin towards Christ, forsaking our way and accepting God and his way. Say to yourself T must forsake my way and turn to God and His iway.’Think of that. Simply coming here and asking the good people to pray for you and going out and returning to sin is not repentance. You must give up your sin and come to Christ. Summon all your manhood and enter the battle ionight. Begin the contest with the pur- pose of staying near Christ. You must

give up your sin. “The captain of an ocean vessel once

Bent a crew In his lifeboat to succor an-

other ship In distress. When the lifeboat [had neared the sinking ship he saw the icrew pause and row back. When they ftvere in hailing distance he asked them why they did not bring away the passen- gers of the other ship and the crew said that the passengers wanted them to bring their baggage and that they could not do it. They returned to the vessel, but the passengers still parleyed over the salvation of their effects and the ship ■went down and they were lost. So leave your sins behind and come to Christ. Let

the wicked man forsake his ways. The nearer one comes to God the more he re-

alises sin. A father once left home and on his departure said to his young boy, 'I leave you In chdrge of the household. Be obedient to your mother and kind to your little brothers and sisters.’ The first day the young boy was all that the fa- ther could have wished. On the second the idea that he was the master took pos- session of him and he openly rebelled against his mother's commands. She turned away from the young son without a word and with tears in her eyes. At night she fixed hts bed with unusual care and it wcas soft and inviting, but the boy found It the hardest bed that he ever lay upon. He got up and sobbed out his re-

pentance to his mother and she forgave him. He knew how wicked he had been and that's the way God wants you to feel and act tonight. The spirit of God wants you. Turn to it.

“Now let us look at the second part of the text. ‘Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.’ Why faith in Christ? Because faith takes in the three names—Lord. Jesus. Christ. We can't believe in Jesus until we accept the divinity of the Lord. If there is any man here who doubts the divinity of Christ let him hold up his hand. He is divine and through him we

must be saved.” The text was further illustrated and

at the conclusion the congregation htfd been deeply impressed with the earnest sermon.

There will be services at 11 o'clock to- day and again tills evening ut 7:30 o'clock.

FOR 30 DAYS ONLY we will give 15 per cent off on

AFRAID OF JOHNSTON.

His Nomination Keans the Reclaiming of Too Many Democrats to Suit the "Pops"

and Republicans.

A prominent populist remarked last night that the State Herald would have a heavy load to carry in the next cam-

paign. “What is the trouble?” remarked the

State Herald man “The democrats are

all coming back into ranks and there will not be enough of you populists left to

make a respectable fusion with the re-

publicans.” “That may all be true, from your

standpoint. But the Montgomei-y Ad- vertiser hates Joe Johnston worse than the devil hates holy -water. It matters not what we populists may do, that old granny Is going to burst your party wide open.”

“The Advertise- will oome around all right," put in the State Herald man. “She may have a little personal feeling towards Johnston, but she says herself that the good of the party Is uppermost In her heart.”

“What'er you giving me?" put in the

populist. “Don’t I know, and don’t we

all know that before the Advertiser would support Joe Johnston it would join the republican party. That is com-

mon talk in my section. And, by George, we populists don’t want the thing— wouldn’t have it, but you put this in your brlerwood pipe and smoke it If Oates is not a candidate for governor and the

organized democratic party nominates Joe Johnston, the old gal at the capital la going to jump tihe broom for once and

lock arms in marriage with the republl- can party!'*

“By the way,” said the Sfate Herald man “how do you populists like Joe John- ston,' anyhow? Don’t you think he would make a good governor?”

“We’ve got nothing particular against Johnston—don’t like the crowd he is in, and especially don’t like his assertion that he will vote for the party nominee, matters not whom he may be."

"Well, is that not democracy?” “That may be, but you have forgotten

we real populists are not democrats any more.”

The gentleman acknowledged, however, when pressed to the wall that the popu-

lists are afraid that Joe Johnston will be nominated, and In case he is the Jeffer- sonian democrats, rather those who were

formerly supporters of Captain Kolb, will give him a good vote. That there are

many of this class who will not join the populists If Johnston is the nominee, but every dled-in-the-wool populist will vote the straight republican ticket before they will again vote with the organized de- mocracy.

TROY.

A Slick Rascal Uses Carroll & Murphree’s Credit in Philadelphia.

Troy, Nov. 12.—(Special.)—Carroll & Murphree of this city were notified by Rountree & Co. of New York on Novem- ber 6 that they had sold 200 bales of Jan- uary futures at 8.59. They suspicioned fraud and sent the telegram back to the office, notifying the operator that it did not belong to them. It was returned to them by the'operator, Carroll & Mur- phree paid no attention to the telegram. On October 8 th^y received another tel- egram stating "your draft on Swift pro- tested; says he don’t know you." Carroll & Murphree saw that some foul work was being done by some one. They wrote Rountree & Co. and told them the note was a forgery. They then received a let- ter from Baugh & Son of Philadelphia, stating that they had seen "your Mr. Joel Murphree and contracted with him for 200 tons fertilizer, with an option on 200 more; cashed draft for $200; please honor when it is presented." This letter was re-

plied to by Carroll & Murphree and they were told the whole story. The draft came and went back unpaid, for it was bogus. The terminus of the case has not come. Detectives will likely go to work on his track and one day we may see him behind the bars for this high-handed at- tempt to swindle.
