RICHMOND, Va, December 25.-A
collision of trains occurred last night
at eight minutes after midnight on
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad,

passing Melborn station about three

train; John w. Alsap, baggage mass
ter; L. l.. Loveing, ]. E. O'Neil,

Opeiika's Christmas.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, December 25.
Christmas passed off quietly. Elk
aggerated rumors prevailed to>day
of trouble at Opelika and Governor
O'Neal, who had gone to Mobile to
spend few days with his relatives,
was called back by telegram from
the commissioners appointed to take
charge Of municipal affairs in the
place of the old authorities, removed
by an act of the Legislature, va>
eating the charter. The. commiss
sioners called on Dunbar, the old
m ayor, to give possession of the city
property. This he refused to do,
and apprehending trouble from this
refusal he called the Governor back.
So far no violence is reported and
no troops have been ordered to the
scene of the trouble. Troops will be
SO ordered if an emergency demands
it. The sheriff of Lee County has
been ordered to summon sufficient
force to sustain the commissioners,
who are the legal authorities OF
Opelika to preserve the peace. The
trouble is caused by only few men,
the great body of citizens being
anxious to see the commissioners in
full control, but they are 10th to re>
sort to desperate measures. The
State authorities are determined to
sustain the commissioners and en-
force the law.

Please Pass the Salt.

A real romance occurred lately In a
hotel in Montreal. In the hotel the road
agent of respectable company boarded
while In the city. In the same hotel an
American young lady was domicied.
The lady was pleasant and accom-
plished. The young gentleman at first
viewed the lady admiringly at distance,
but too timid to approach. Day by day
his interest grew stronger. He had
never spoken to her, nor she to him,
and, so far as he was concerned, this
was what he most earnestly desired she
might do. In this dilemma he applied
to friend for advice. "Do you eat at
the same tablea'' asked the friend.
"Yes," was the reply. ''Then l would
advise you the next time you dine to ask
the lady to pass the SALT" sAll right
sighed the lovesick hero. The following
day he intended to put his friends ad-
vice into operation, but was most de-
lightfully baked by the lady asking him
''to please pass the SALT From that
moment the ice was broken, till at last
the lady asked for the gentleman's s card,
in order that she might know whom she
was conversing with The gentleman
at once handed the lady his business
card. Matters then went on smoothly,
all the while the couple enjoying each
others company at concerts, operas,
etc. At length this state of matters was
brought to crisis. The lady was about
to return to the States The lover was
perpiexed and again applied to his friend
for advice, who at once advised him to
pop the question and thus settle anxiety.
She was willing to become one with him.
The question thed came, when the hap
py day would be. She replied ''to-mor-
row. To this the gentleman at first
demurred, as he had certain business
matters to fix. She told him to leave
them alone and write TO his employers
resigning his position and leave the rest
to her. He complied; they were mar
ried and went to the States, when the
Canadian gentleman learned that he
had married young widow worth

forget the friend who advised him. He

pile of brush. Anderson was told of
his position, and, riding up, he dee
manded Smiths surrender at the
peril of his life. He was taken by
the sheriff. When the officer with
Smith arrived in town the scene was
indescribable. A yell was raised,
and the crowd ran to meet them, ,cry-
ing out ''kill him, '4et's hang him"
There was a large crowd in town,
and it was with difficulty that Smith
could pass through the street to the
jail. The excitement is still high. A
strong guard is on duty, and the law
will be executed.
