sons residing ON the line of the road who
buy tickets to the recital An exchange
says: "The technique of this artist is re-
markable. His pedal playing surpasses in
fiuency and clearness anything of the kind
we have previously heard. His registration
was mastery, and no finer or more perfect
organ virtuosity can be imagined than was
exhibited by him in the more brilliant and
intricate portion of the work"

in this she has succeeded to degree, to say
the least, surprising Her success from
financial point of view has equalled her ar
tistic progress, and even this season. when
the theatrical business has been SO much de-
pressed, she has been greeted everywhere
with crowded houses. What is still more
surprising, she is now repeating her engage

CHEERING NEWS.
Liverpool Cotton buyers Will Accept
the Staple Packed in Cotton
Sheetlng.

The Atlanta Evening journal of Weds
nesday, Sept. 9th, says editorially:
"Mr. Russell, Urited States consul at
Liverpool, has interviewed leading cotton
men OF that city to ascertain whether
bagging covered with cotton cloth would
be accepted. He reports that they pre-
fer jute covering, but would accept cot
ton sheeting as a substitute, There ap
pears, there fore, to be no rule Of the
Liverpool exchange prohibiting other
covering than jute baggjng. If Liverpool
accepts cotton covering New York will
have to do likewise"
From the above it will be seen that the
trust will "bust" little sooner than ex-
pected. The anticipated profits the trust
expected to reap this year through their
nefarious scheme will be curtailed somes
what by this cheering item from Liver
pool. Let the Trust be crippled is the
nations wish.

UNDER THE WHEE'
Horrible Accident on the Huntsville
Belt Line and Monte SanO Railroad

Thursday at one o'clock, a squad o
workmen employed on the Dummy line
boarded the Dummy at McGee's Hotel
in light>hearted and merry mood, tc
resume the labors of the day. In front
OF the Du -nmy engine was box car, be-
longing to the E. 7. V. < Ga. railway,
loaded with cross ties, to be used in the
construction Of the track on the noun
tain. They little thought that in a few
more minutes one OF their numb would
be grasped in the icy embrace Of death.
But it was even so. One of the squad,
a young colored man named Frank Bars
ker, who was seated on the brake on
top OF the box car, We caught by the
neck with telephone wire, stretched
iiagonally across Clinton street where it
crossed Lincoln, and knocked to the
track beneath. The wheels of the Dunn,
my dragged the body OF the unfortunate
man about 80 yards before the engine
could be stopped.
When his comrades reached him, the
bruised, mangled and dismembered body
was reduced to an unrecognizable mass
OF bleeding pulp. He lived about ten
minutes.
Esquire Figg was sent for, and he, act
ing in the-er-oticto capacity OF coroner,
commenced inquiries on the spot with
regard to the death of the unfortunate
man. A. A. Oiom being duly sworn,
said that the deceased met his death by
his head coming in contact with the
telephone wire across Clinton street.
jeff Anderson, d. Kimball, John Coles
and Chas. Robinson gave testimony cors
rOborative of the above, and, on viewing
the remains, the Squire decided there
was no necessity in holding regular
coroners inquest, and gave instructions
that the remains be delivered to the
friends Of the deceased.
Mr.. Arthur Owen Wilson, President
OF the road shortly appeared on the
scene, and messenger was sent to the
undertaking establishment OF K. B. Car.
ter & Co., where an elegant burial casket
was procured. In the meantime the
body was removed to the house of co.,
ored family near by and washed and
shrouded for the grave. The remains
were forwarded to the relatives Of the
dead man, who reside near Eutaw, Ala.
Deceased was young man about 26
years old, and came here from Birming~
ham about weeks ago, He was mar
ried and his wife lives somewhere in the
vicinity OF Eutaw.
The telephone wire which caused his
death was private wire running from
the residence of Mr.. Mayhem on Maiden
Lane to the planning mill at the foot OF
Washington street. The wire was not
stretched on poles of regulation height,
which accounts for the disastrous and
fatal accident. The hands employed on
the dummy line severed the wire at this
point few hours after the catastrophe
