Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 27.-One

wrecks that has ever taken place
in this state occurred at $3.50 this
morning on the Birmingham Nine
raj road, a loop that extends all
over this section, taking in the
mines and furnaces. The wreck oc-
Cured at what is known as the Ca
haba bridge, about fifty miles from
Birmingham, between Guernsey
and Blockton. The bridge is 1000
feet long and ninety to 100 feet
high. The train jumped the track
from some cause unknown and
plunged off the trestle to the rocks
below. As to the number of pas
sengers on board the reports con-
flict, but the best obtainable infor-
nation place the number at thirty
to thirty-fve, Seven were taken
out alive, but in dying condition.
The wreck caught fire and many
victims burned to death.
The scene at the wreck presented
a most heartrending and sickening
spectacle. The cars were smashed
to splinters on the rocks fully 100
feet below the track from which
the train had been hurled The
groans of the injured and lamenta-
tions of those who crowded around
we're pitiable in the extreme.
Physicians from Birmingham and
the adjacent villages were sent to
the wreck and rendered efficient
service in endeavoring to alleviate
the suffering of those who escaped
with the news.

TWELFTH-STREET TRAVEL.
Over Ten Thousand Teams Crossed
the Track in June.

Most people probably imagine that
the fiagman at the Twelfth street rail-
road crossing on B street has what is
known as "a soft thing
So he has, perhaps, so far as hard
physical labor is concerned, but when it
comes 10 mental strain, the situation is
decidedly reversed. A part OF his duty
is to look out for teams about to cross
the track and warn them Of the APP
proach of trains. As much switching
IS going on back and forth, the vigi-
lance to be exercised is not only in
relation to regular trains, but must be
maintained at all times. That ii is so
maintained is evidenced by the very
few occasions on which accidents have
happened. in spite of the immense
amount Of travel that crosses there.
OF a number of people who were
asked to make an estimate OF the num-
ber of teams crossing the track at that
point daily. all but one, after some men
tai figuring, set their figures at from
20 to 30 per cent. of the number actu-
ally passing last month, showing that
very few have any idea of the number
who use that road daily.

LUTEY GOES FREE.
Jennie Turner Receivers Her Jewelry
From Another Source.

About two weeks ago Anita Para,
the old Spanish woman who collects toll
from unfortunates who inhabit lower l.
street, had guitar and music-box
stolen, which Officers Douglas and
Higgins soon traced to the house oc-
cupied by Lutey Gomez, and found the
stolen articles in her trunk 1t trans
piTed, however, that suspicion fell upon
one Gus Hanson, better known as John
son, and the chain woven around him
is so tight that the officers say he will
| never break it.
! But the fact that the stolen articles
were found in the room of the Gomez
woman created suspicion in the breast
of Jennie Turner, young colored
woman, who several weeks ago found
herself in Strengthened circumstances,
and pawned a diamond ring valued at
Sl2o to the Gomez woman for a few
dollars, stipulating that she would call
/ for it in a few days
She called accordingly, but Lutey
Gomez pulled a wry face over the af
/ fair and told a rather fishy story about
her house being entered by thieves, the
trunk opened and the ring, together
with another belonging to well-to-do
young business man, and a gold brace
| let extracted.
| Jennie Turner told her story to the
police, and on Sunday last Lutey Co
mez was taken to the city prison, and
told that she would be given her lib
erty when the missing jewelry was
dug up. She had several consulta-
tlons with her friends, among whom
| was the young business man, but pro-
claimed her innocence
| Monday evening Chief of Police Drew
received an anonymous communication
relating that the writer had stolen the
Jewelry, and not wishing to see an in
nocent party suffer would send it to the
station if the girl Lutey was released.
But the anonymous writer was up
against the wrong man. The Chief
maintained a profound silence. and
When the mail came in yesterday morn
ing packet was brought to him inclos-
ing the missing jewels and also an
other anonymous note in the handwrit-
ing OF the one received the day before,
which was remarkable in nothing ex-
cept to show the versatility of the
writer's imagination. He had evidently
| forgotten the former note, for he said
that German, now in the city prison
tmeaning Hanson) had pawned the
articles to him for s., and sooner than
see an innocent person suffer they were
| returned.
There being no evidence on which to
hold the woman, she was allowed to
go without a complaint being lodged
against her
The writer of the notes did not fling
much dirt in the eyes of the officers
who have been working on the case, it
appears, for both Douglas and Higgins
are satisfied that they know him. and
believe that he merely stood in with
I.utey and intended to divide the spols.
There will probably be nothing more
said about the matter, as the primary
obJect-the recovery of the jewels-has
| been attained

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Pastor Anderson's Discourse-WO-
mems Auxiliary on FRIDAY.

An eloquent, instructive address was
delivered to an audience. of young men
in the parlors of the Young Mems
Christian Association on Sunday after
noon by DR. T. II. B. Anderson. pastor
Of the NJ. f. Church South. The subject
Of the address was, The Birthdays of
Nations"
The speaker referred to the institu-
ton of the passover as the birthday of
the Jewish nation, and he traced their
history and the development of their
nationality. He called attention to the
fact that the Jewish nation was the only
one believing in monotheism. and theirs
was the only religion that taught liberty.
In Christ was the exemplification of
true virtue and freedom, and from his
time forward the idea of liberty has
been developed more and more, finding
expression in Magma Charta. the Bill
of Rights and our own Declaration of
Independence.
On next Friday afternoon at g O'Clock
the Women's Auxiliary will hold an i'm
portant meeting. 1t is hoped that a
good attendance will be present.

A couple of dust-cOvered, weary-l look

nlento yesterday with their faces set
toward the west. They came across
the continent from New York, which
place they left on June 1st, their des-
tination being San Francisco. They ex-
pect to arrive there by noon tomorrow.
having gone as far as Stockton yester-
day
The tourists were Messrs La France
and Devoux, and they are striving to
break the record between the two cities.
The record now stands at Al days and
~ hours, and if they reach San Fran
cisco at noon to-day they will have COW
cred the distance in 37la days
The men seem to have stood the Jour-
ney very well, considering the insult
ferably hot weather they encountered
crossing the dry, sandy wastes of Ne
vada. They say they enjoyed the trip
over the Sierra Nevada very much, the
scenery Of which is so grand, and the
roads harder and better than those of
the desert
In few days w. A. England, another
long distance crank, will probably
reach here on his way from New York
to San Francisco. He, too, is going
against the A days 10 hours record. but
he hopes to make his record on his re-
turn trip.
England left Chicago over a week
| ago, and is riding on a wager of 81. 600
to go from San Francisco to New York
liz 40 days, and he will endeavor to
knock off nearly eight days On Mon
day, August 31st, he will start from San
Francisco on his return trip.
Going east he will ride in competition
with Private Fritz General Miles mes
senger, who is to take dispatches from
Mare Island Navy Yard to the Brooklyn

winning his wager, but if La France

RIVER FRUIT.
Heaviest Shipment Yesterday and
Good Prices Ruling.

The fruit output along the Sacra-
mento River is increasing, and the
amount brought up yesterday was the
largest this year, the Acme bringing
up 1,142 boxes and the Apache 1880, a
total of 1912 packages. OF these,
1000 haIf-boxes of Bartlett pears We're
for the export train, by which they will
be forwarded to London The fruit
brought up was pears and Tragedy
prunes. Two carloads of peaches were
also brought down from Penryn and re-
loaded here for the East.
In conversation with A. ]. Hecht-
man, Vice-President of Porter Bros. it
was learned that the market in Eastern
cities is in good shape, and likely to
keep so, even for Bartlett pears, the
crop this year being the largest ever
raised in this State
At Minneapolis yesterday they
brought as high as 81 SO per box, with
an average of 81 81. In Boston peaches
brought 81 10 to 81 10, and in Chicago
81 10 to ST 40. Sacramento Bartlett
pears in ventilated cars brought 81 t.
to 81 80, most of them fetching from
81 90 to 81 IS, while apricots brought
81 % to 81 10 and Tragedy prunes
s. 70. In New York Tragedy prunes
brought 81 80 to 50 35 per crate. Alex
ander peaches 81 05 and ST. Johns
81 40. Burbank plums brought 81 ?.
and Ogons 50 %
kilograms to Porter Bros. yesterday
from the whole Atlantic sea board
stated that the prospects are that
prices of peaches will be good for the
next two weeks, showing that the Geor-
gia crop does not cut much of a figure
Advices are that all the Bartlett pears
received there SO far are very small, and
their being. under-sized accounts fo1
the low prices to date. The size and
quality are increasing, however, and
there is prospect of better prices.
