has already passed to meet the cases Of in
houses. He had been compelled to
improve houses Of this character under his
control, and Mr.. Emmons had been made
to do the game thing. He wanted to know
why others had not been made to do the
same. What was needed was a committee
to see that the laws governing sanitation
of dwellings be carried out. There was
further discussion, which DR.. Purvis closed
by moving to lay the motion on the table.

ROBBERS WRECK A TRAIN.
RAIL TORN UP AND NAILED DOWN
AGAIN OUT OF PLACE.
The Engine and Cars Crash Down a
Steep Observation-Disclosures
People Injured.

MONTGOMERY (A1a.), Nov. 1o.-The
2:3O train from Louisville this morning
on the Louisville and Nashville, bound
for New Orleans, was wrecked Tour
miles from this place, in very Wno
country, by train robbers.
The engineer saw an obstruction on
the track too late to stop the train,
which went crashing down steep en-
bankment.
A rail had been torn up and nailed
down again, three or four inches out Oh
line.
The train, comprising two mail
coaches. a baggage car, and two first
class coaches was completely wrecked,
and the track was torn up for fully 2uO
yards.
Three persons were seriously injured,
Holm Thwatt of Atlanta, bound for Dali
las Texas, and w. G.. McGovey of Mon
roe being the most seriously nurt.
Two other passengers, pinned under
the smoking car, were released only
after an hours hard work Their names
could not be ascertained.
Rloodhounds have been set on the trail
of the wreckers. Suspicion rests on a
colored track walker, who was cap
tured near the place. He claims to
have been posted there to watch for the
train wreckers by the company. The
loss will be fully $4,000.

CONSIDERED VERY FISHY.
The Talk of the Sultan's AcCeDtance
of Reforms in Turkey.

LONDON, Nov. 13-The expression
of English, French and Continental
opinion generally is a veritable chorus
of celebration over the restored concert
of the Powers in regard to Turkey. as
indicated by Lord Salisbury's speech at
the Lord Mayors banquet in the Guild
Hall last Monday. The Sultan's ac-
ceptance of the scheme of reforms sub
mitted to him is admitted to be due to
the concert of the Powers, which the
French press credits to NJ. Hanotauxs s
mastery seizure Of the proper moment
to coerce the Porte.
In the London diplomatic circle all
this talk of the Sultan's acceptance of
the reforms is considered to be extreme
ly hshy, and the whole tenor of the
facts derived from official sources in
ConStantinople points to the certainty
that the Sultan is pursuing his old
course of deceit. Before the extraor.
dinary tribunal trying the persons ar
rested for participation in the Galeta
riots was closed under the pressure ex-
erted by M. Cambon, the French En-
bassador, the Sultan's Judges SEN
fenced to death or to long terms of i'm

mans brought before them, and lib

sentences imposed by the tribunal The
EmbasSa dors at Constantinople view
ing the Sultan's promises of reforms in
the light of comedy, are leaving Con-
stantinople for the purpose of taking a
holiday until the chiefs of their re-
spective Governments decide what to
do next
