Three Culprits Seen to Run Away From
 the Cahaba~River Wreck
 Tuskaloosa, Dec. 30-(Special Corre- spondenoe. )-Yesterday afternoon the railroad authorities received telegraph- ic message from pr. Ray, of Woodstock, who was at Blocton at the time, and has been attending the wounded left off the relief train at that place, stating that one of the survivors of the catastrophe had told him that IS soon as the train fell into the abyss three saVage-looking men came down the banks of the river and went through the train. Immediately af- ter doing this fiendish deed the gentle- man stated, the robbers made off the way they had come and disappeared in the distance. The passengers who had sur viVed were, as a rule, too much occupied with their sufferings to pay attention to the alleged robbers, and the flames were growing larger and larger each moment and children screamed, so that whatever the robbers did to the dead and the then dying was noticed but little, and proba- bly, only the one man realized what they were and what they were doing. Very little else has been heard along the line, but this tale in itself, connected with the condition of the collapsed bridge and the position of the engine, leads to the very plausible theory that the same gang has been al the bottom of three other serious affairs in railroad circles in North Ala hama lateIV.f

 shortly after noon yesterday negro giving his name es Charlie Jones, ap- piled to City Health Officer Abrahams for q permit to the city hospital The negro sud he had been ill for several days, and thought 1t best not to defer receiving medical attention.
 It aid not take pr. Abrahams long to diagnose the case, and he told the negro that he had smallpox. The negro then confessed that he himself had suspected as much, but could account in no pos sible manner as to how he might have contracted the disease. He said ne lives in Mobile, and went so far as to tell Dr. AbrahamS where, in the southern DOT tion of the city, his residence could be found. After hurrying Jones to the pest house pr. Abrahams instituted search for the negro's alleged residence, but it could not be located. It is thought the negro is not a resident of Mobile, and that he contracted the disease il another city and then came here.

The board of health has taken every precaution possible to prevent any return of the infectious dis case CT the entrance into the city of a person afflicted with 1t.

 Springville, Dec. 30.--(Speeialf Corres- pondence. "A confederate veterans con- cert was given at Spring Lake college chaped Christmas night by the young ladies of Springville. for the benefit of the confederate memorial.
 The hall was crowded to it's utmost ca pacity by an expectant and enthusiastic audience, among whom were a number of confederate veterans, for whom spec ial seats had, been reserved. The open ing prayer was offered by Rev. J. S. Porter, followed by an address by Rev. < Q. Melton, explanatory of the cause for which the concert had been given.
 Short talks were made by Capt. T, c. Belsher Capt. Reausseau, and other vet erans, after which a letter from Col. John W. Inzer, of Ashville, was read by Miss Minnie Woodall
 To the inspiring strains of Dixie Capt. A. w. Woodall, commander of the Springville Camp of United Confederate veterans unfured before the aundience the old battle flag of the Fifty-elghth Alabama regiment, which was made and presented to this regiment by Mrs Bush Jones and her sister. Mrs. Augusta Ev- ans Wilson. at Mobile, Ala, in 1862.
 For moment all was confusion. Above the crash of the music and the en- thusiastic applause of the audience could be heard the old rebel yell given by the veterans, who wept at the sight of the battle-scarred flag which they had not looked upon before for thrty-two years. This flag is now in the possession of Col. John w Inzer, of Ashville, Ala. who was colonel of the Thirty-second and Fifty eighth Alabama regiments.
 It was borne through fifteen hard fought battles, among them the three days fight around Chickamauga, where a part of it was torn away by a cannon ball: through the remaining part of 1t there are twenty bullet holes. As the

''s+e may get we'll and keep we'll by using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is the one reliable cure for all pulmonary complaints. It's effect upon throat lungs and bronchial tubes is immediate and pronounced. It is wonderful blood purifier. It works upon the blood first. It stimulates the action of all the digestive organs, promotes assitnila- ton and makes nutrition perfect. It con- tains elements that work directly on the nerves giving them steadiness and strength. It is for this reason highly recommended to those suffering from brain fag overwork and loss of sleep. Thousands of people have testified to the wonderful benefits re- ceived from this great medicine. Among them, Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby, Perry Co.,, Ind, who writes:
 "I was so weak I could not walk across the room without assistance. took Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and his Favorite Pre- scription' and one bottle of tbe Pleasant Pel- lets I began to improve very fast after the use of few bottles. The physicians who attended me said had dropsy,' and that my disease was leading into pulmonary consumption. I had quite cough and the home physician gave me up to die. I thank God that my cure is perma- nent do not feel any symptoms of my old dis too highly. Tie medicines come tine nearest to raising the dead' of any that have ever known about. They are worth their weight in gold"
 THE STARTING POINT of almost all diseases is in the digestive organs. Constipation leads to more diseases than any other one cause It is not looked upon as a serious thing, but 1t is. It means that poisonous, effete matter, that should be excreted, is retained in the body, and some portions of it must of course, be reabsorbed by the blood It is thus carried all over the body and has it's effect in producing headaches bilious ness, sour stomach, foul breath, heartburn, fat ulence palpitation of the heart, and many other serious symptoms It can be quickly and perma- nently cured by Dr Pierces Pleasant Pellets.
