REED MAY RESIGN.
An Improbable Rumor Afoat in Con-
gressional Circles.

An Improbable Rumor Af1oat in Con-
greSsional Circles.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-It was reported
to-day among the score of senator's and rep.
resentatives in town that ex-Speeker Reed
would tender his resignation and retire from
the House before congress meets. 1t was
said that he had received such tempting
offer, either professional engagement or
involving the presidency of au important
corporation in New York, that he pro-
posed TO withdraw from public life
for q time at least. Inquiry failed to find
any solid base for the report. 1t is believed
that if Speaker Reed had entertained any
such intention he has abandoned it on the
advics of friends who represented to him
that it would be an unwise step in view of
possible democratic jeers and sneers at his
retirement from the lively fight in pros
pect for the next session.

FREIGHT TRAINS oRAsH.
The Crossing of the Richmond and
Danvllle Road at Athens the Scene.

Tho Crossing of the Richmond and
Danvllle Road at Athens the Scene.
ATHENS. GA, Oct. 3.-An accident TO
two freight trains at the crossing of tho
Richmond and Danville and Georgia, Caro-
lima and Northern railways this morning
about 3 O'Clock blocked both roads for
about seven hours. The Richmond and
Danville mail train going north was de-
layed five hours, and the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern freight and passenger train
was prevented from leaving at all. In the
northern part of the city the Georgia, Caro-
lima and Northern road crosses the Rich
mond and Danville, which used to be the
Macon and Covington, at right angles on
the same grade 1t is a rule Of both roads
that trains passing this crossing shall stop
before clearing.
THE CRASH.
This morning about $3.50 the north-bound
freight on the Georgia, Carolina and North
ern was clearing the place at lowspeed
when suddenly "A north bound, through
freight frou Macon to Lula came deshing
around the curve at high speed. Engineer
johnson Of the Richmond and Danville saw
the passing freight some distance before
him and reversed his engine and applied the
breaks, neither OF which had any effect.
He tried in vain to conquer the iron horse
man to save his own life The engine dashed
on and struck the third car from tho end
on the Georgia, Carolina and Northern
freight, which hurled it from the track
down a 60-foot embanKment, breaking it
half in two and scattering its contents,
which was compressed cotton, in all direc-
tions. A negro brakeman was on top of
the freight car, and was tossed in the air by
the collision, and fell sixty feet away nt the
bottom Of the cmbaukmeut
HIS CONDITION CRITICAL.
His head was badly cut and blood was
found fifteen feet from where he struck the
ground. Though still alive his condition is
very p ecarious The wild engine also left
the track at the crossing and ran nearly
down the embankment, breaking itself at
every turn. The tender was smashed
and laid across the roadbed and
the tracks were torn up for some
distance. The wreck was the most
complete wreck ever seen arouRd here. Cit
liens have been visiting it all day and pho
tographers have made number of views
The wrecking train of the Richmond and
Danville road arrived on the scene
few hours after the smashup, and has
cleared the track. The ill-fated Richmond
and Danville locomotive is said TO have
been tricky before, but never to such an
extent as last nights run. All trains de-
parted on time tonight.

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 3.-The Southern
Travellers Association and the Richmond
Terminal have not yet come to terms on the
5.0O0mile book question. A meeting of tho
Atlanta branch was held tonight, at
which it was expected that a 6nal answer
would be received from Vice President
Calhoun, but Mr.. Calhoun was
not ready to say yes or no
and asked further time to consider
the matter. Chairman Brannau Of the rail-
road committee had a lengthy conference
with Mr.. Calhoun and Traffic Manager Sol
Haas. Mr.. Haas left Immediately after
ward for New York TO be gone about ten
days. with the understanding that final
answer would be given the Southern
Travellers on his return. Mr.. Haas trip TO
New York probably has something to DO
with the pr position OF the Southern
Travellers Association. The association has
determined that if the 5000 mile book is re-
fused by the Terminal they will, as a body,
go before the railroad commission and de-
mand a 2-cent passenger rate.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 3-The funeral of Gen.
crowd of people assembled hours before the
time fixed for the interment ceremonies in
front and about the late residence Of the
dead soldier. A large crowd was expected
and the local authorities had taken precau-
tions to provide an imposing police force for
this emergency, but the number was not
sufficient and reinforcements were
called out But notwithstanding their
numbers the number OF policemen present
was far from sufficient for the purpose Of
maintaining order. Reinforcements were
sent for, but, though the extra force soon
arrived, the police, as the coffin was brought
out OF the hotel, proved entirely Unequal to
keeping the crushing, excited throngs in any
thing like decent ordOr. Consequently Sergt.
DeVIlle had to call upon the gen darmes, and
were compelled TO make a number Of arrests
before order could be restored.
wREATHs AND THE TRr-CoLoR.
The coffin Of the general was covered
with hundreds of floral wreaths, tied with
tri.color ribbons, mostly sent from France
by his political admirers. and there were a
number of tri-color flags festooned about and
draped around the casket. At the cemetery
gate another scene of disorder occurred
and the gen darmes had difficulty in
clearing a passage to the grave. There
were no religious services whatever and
no speeches were made. The only ceremony,
if ceremony it may be called, was per-
formed by M. Deroulede. who. taking up the
tri.colors, put the flag to his lips and then
placed it on the coffin, at the same time ex-
claiming, Farewell my friend" This was

ALABAMA's OYSTER LAW.
Prohibition of Expectation Declared
Unconstitutional

OuCOu SUI UUIOIh4.
MOBILE, Oct. 3.-The Alabama oyster
law test case was decided by Judge Semms
in the habeas corpus proceedings to-day. A
test was made to see whether the new law
forbidding the shipment of oysters in the
shell out OF the state at certain seasons, and
by rail only, would stand. The judge de-
cided that prohibition OF this character is
unconstitutional as viOlative of
the freedom Of interstate commerce.
The case will be appealed. The
case was brought about by the action Of the
agents of Mississippi cauneries dependent
upon the Alabama oyster reefs for their
supplies, and which have been shut of from
the Alabama reefs since the law was passed
last spring.
