A BURNING TRESTLE
Causes the Wreck;ng of 8 Passenger Train = Several People Hurt.
 Three Cars Burned.

ATLANTA, Ga., July 2.-A special to the Constitution from Anniston, Ala, says: The northbound passenger train which left here at o'clock this evening on the Alabama Mineral railroad ran into burn ing trestle near Edmondson, two miles out of town.
 The trestle was at the bottom of grade, just around a sharp curve. It was too late to stop the train when tte fire was discov- cred. The engine and tender went across, but the express, mail and baggage cars fell in, pulling down two passenger coaches. All three were burned.
 Engineer w. R. Howden, fireman Will fam Cnastine and one or two others were hurt, but not fatally. The passengers escaped by the rear of the train unhurt. The fire is believed to have been caused by a spark from an engine which passed over the trestle two hours before.

THE BLUE AND GRAY
Join in Extending an Invitation to Comrades to Meet Together
 In Little Rock.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Gen. J. B. Cor don, commander of the United Confederate Veterans, has issued the following an- nouncement:
 To the United Confederate Veterans:
 The ex-soldiers of 4 Arkansas who served in both the Confederate and Union armies during the late civil war have appointed committees to extend invitations to all ex- soldiers to m eet at Little Rock, Ark, on veteran day, July 6, 1891. This date has been fixed by the Little Rock Interstate Drill association and the occasion will be one of unusual interest.
 The committees, both Confederate and federal, moved by patriotic impulse aud earnestly anxious to promote the most cor dial fraternity between those who for merly confronted each other in battle, propose this reunion of the veterans of both armies as an asurance of this good fellowship, and in recognition of the fact that the valor displayed on both sides is the common heritage of all, as command ing general of the United ontederate Vet- erans, l trust that every encouragement will be given by the different camps to this praiseworthy undertaking.

FOR REFORM.

Eu1auIa IImeS.
 When Colonel Warren Reese of Mont gomery takes the stump in the interest of reform we may expect to hear something. It is not often that the colonel gets on the subject Of reform, but when he does there is no half fheartedness about him. The mountains and the fields, the babbling brooks and the roaring cataracts catch the colonel's emphasis and reform has just got to get itself together and reform. There is no escape for it. Reform is on it's legs in Alabama. There is the genial captain, the red-edged Bowman, the torridonous Skaggs and now the ga liant Reese. When such an army as this moves on the fortifi cations of political sinners there can be but one result. Something must give way. This latest salvation army Is for reform and it is invincible, with the gallant Reese marching we'll in the lead.
