FIRED THE BRIDGE And Creased the Rails for One
 Hundred Yards. A DIAB0LICAL ATTEMPT
To Wreck an Alabama and VickSburg Train Fortu-
 nately Averted.

MERIDIAN, Miss, July 25.-[Special Correspondence. Hast night as the east bound Alabama and Vicksburg passenger train No. 2 was nearing this city trestle No. 23 was discovered to be ablaze at both ends. The train was running at high rate Of speed, and, the trestle being in sharp curve, there came near being disastrous calamity. The engineer, on rounding the curve, discovered the burning bridge and immediately reversed his lever and applied heavy air brakes, the engine coming to q standstill few feet from the open bridge that would have precipitated the entire train depth of 3J feet.
 Further investigation developed the fact that the trestle was set on fire by unknown parties, and the track had been greased 100 yards on the west side of the trestle,
 Just one week ago an attempt was made by ambushers to assasinate Conductor Mc- Elroy and negro scab brakeman of a freight crew few miles below the scene of last nights occurrence. The ambushers fired upon these parties, almost mortally woundng both. Bl 'odhounds were put upon their trails in ca instance, but to no avail. The suspe.-s are supposed to be former employees of the road, who lost their places during the recent strike.

The first bill read was

foreign commerce. The first bill read was the house bill authorizing the superin- tendent of the life saving service to man and keep the stations on the Atlantic and gulf coast from Aug ust to May 1, instead of from September 1 to June 1, as at pres ent provided by law. The passage of the bill was strongly urged by Superintendent Kimball, who called attention to the re- cent frequent occurrence of storms in the months of August and May with destruc- tive effects to life aud property along the sea coasts. With an amendment offered by MT. Sayers, which made the salary of surf man at a station kept open ten months S60 months, instead of sG5 paid at the eight months stations, the bill was passed.
 The following bills were also passed: Extending the privileges of the marine hos- pital service to employees of the life saving service. To transfer the lghtship on Trinity shoals, Gulf of Mexico, to the south pass of the Mississippi river. To authoriz, the building of wagon and foot bridge over the Chattahoochee river, at or near the town of Columbia, Ala.
 Conference on the Qualifications appro- priation bill was prt sented by MT. Wash ington, democrat, of Tennessee, and agreed to. As thus agreed to the bill carries total appropriation of $2, ,427 ,000, being S409 600 less than 1t passed the senate, $202, $50 more than as it passed the house, and $216, ,9l9 more than the bill for the year ending June 4, 1894.

 CHICAGO, July 26,-Eugene Debs, presi- dent of the American Railway union. left here this afternoon for Terre Haute, where be will deliver an address tomorrow even- ing at the opera house. 'tSo much has been said about me and against me" said Debs this morning, "that am going be- fore my people, where l was born and raised, to say few words in my own be- half and in contradiction of the lies which have been uttered against me-. :"
 A committee from number of trades as- semblies of the city called on the president of the American Railway union this morn ing and pledged the financial support of the assemblies in fighting the charges brought against him. He was assured that there would be sufficient money forthcom- ing to employ the best legal talent in the land to defend and to carry the cases to the hig her courts, if found necessary.
 Debs will return to Chicago Monday next, and will thereafter make his head quarters here until matters are in such shape as to warrant his going nome to stay.

COLONEL WHITEHEAD
SPREADING THE SECRETS OF THE KoLB
 PRISON MOUSE.

SPREADING THE SECRETS OF THE KoLB
 PRISON MOUSE.
 OAKMAN, July 26. The candidates for this, the Twelfth Senatorial district, Messrs. Collier and Hollis, met here yesterday in joint discussion.
 As usual, the Jeffersonians and populists tried to work an unfair game by running in dark horse to the rescue of one of their dying men. The gentleman we refer to is Colonel Whitehead, editor of the Living Truth of Greenville. We say they worked an unfair game because they have tried diff ferent times to run in other speakers on agreement signed by the county candidates.
 But nevertheless it was good for the democratic party that Colonel Whithead was here and allowed to speak, from the fact he brought out the Weaver Harrison deal of two years ago and never denied any part of it. He frankly admitted that part of the Weaver electorj were called to F. G. Bowman's office after the East Lake con- vention and that they did agree to cast the vote for Harrison in case they saw no chance for Weaver. He also admitted, though rather privately, that Kolb was present when such agreement was made and knew all about it and that Kolb, when the thing was first brought to light, denied 1t. Thus Colonel Whitehead did a nice little act for the dem ocratic party by being here yesterday and turning on the light.
 After Whitehead had finished his speech of an hour, MT. Collier, democratic nomi- nee for the senate, arose and spoke for two hours. He is an excellent speaker and he certainly knocked the props from under Whitehead's argument, and literally butchsred his opponent, pr. Hollis, who followed. Taking all in all Golfers speech was a masterly effort, and there is not a doubt that he did effective work yesterday for democracy.
 There was speaking again last night by Colonel Whitehead, who still was not sat isfied, and Col. w. B. Appling of Jasper, who is a staunch democrat. Whitehead spoke first, and again they worked n scheme by allowing him to take up all the time and giving Colonel Appling only a few minutes.
 There is no doubt but that democracy is gaining fast in this county.

NEGRO REPUBLICANS
In Open and Manly Tones Denounce Kolb and His Methods and Advise
 Their Brethren to Rally to Oates.

OPELIKA, July 25.-[Special Correspond ence. Mir. I. Smith of Tuskaloosa, a staunch republican, addressed a good crowd, composed mostly of negroes, at tho court house last night.
 In defining his position he said he was and always had been a republican, but as they had no ticket in the field it behooved all who had the good of the republican party at heart to carefully survey the field and see which of the candidates for gov ernor was the best for all the people and lhe state.
 He said "that he was glad the issue was as clearly defined as it was. Kolb promises fair elections; Oates prom ises honest elections and honest gov ernment.' So the matter rested with the government, honest men, sound prlncl- pies as exemplified by William c. Oates, or would they vote for political tricksters and the ballot box suffer, Kolb.
 Smith was followed by Rsv.'s J. R. Howard, T. J. Jenkins and Green Gentry, all colored republicans, who have had their eyes opened as to the rottenness and cor ruption of the populite party and its chief exponent, Kolb. They made as good speeches as have ever been heard in Opellka and were frequently met with deafening applause. They showed why the negroes had all to lose in voting for Kolb and all to gain in voting for Oates.
 Their expose of Kolb was complete and caustic and met with a hearty approval from all tue negroes present. They showed in clear and lucid manner the kind of man Kolb was, and held up to public scorn his efforts to bring strife and anarchy into the state, and make the ballot box a check book and manhood mockery.
 Hon. J. T. Hefiin of Lafayette will ad- dress the people tomorrow night, followed by Hon. X. H. Clarke of Mobile Saturday night.
 Both sides are veilant and active in Lee and it is going to be close, but the indica- tions look bright for the democracy.
