EXPERTS in the gram trade, it is re-

and, therefore, twas but natural that
sooner or later there should be a sharp
reaction from the higher level to which
prices had been forced.

After 12 o'clock he had his horse caught and hitched in front of his house, and no doubt but Brown had a watch kept on the horse until Fed start ed. As Fed turned the corner of Ed Browns lot, east, Brown came out of his house and intercepted Fed at the corner of your mothers lot next to Dr. Lor- ance's. There Brown shot him twice on his horse, with double barrel shot gun Those two shots killed him. Fed fell from his horse in front of Mrs. Lilies place.

A THRILLING SIGHT.
in the Presence of Thousands of People.

The electric car collision advertised to take place at East Lake yesterday af- ternoon was complete success and real istic to completeness.
 The public had been promised a treat something entirely new and novel-and thousands gathered to see what it would look like.
 They were not disappointed as the col lision came off exactly as advertised, and for rarity, at almost the exact time set therefor. A few minutes after 4 o'clock two cars, stationed on the hill to the west of Lake Station and at the ", D respectively, were turned loose with full current of electricity operating the mo- tors.
 Down the hill came the one and along the level flew the other. They met-an awful crash was heard and fire and splinters filled the air. It was a sublime sight, though awful in its reality. A number of torpedoes exploded simultan- eously with the crash and skeptical people could easily have drawn on their ina gin- ation for a picture of a deed of train wreckerS
 General Manager McClary, of the Br- mingham Railway and Electric company, and MT. Ben W. Williams, the promot- CTS of the scheme, are to be congratulated on the success of their undertaking.
 Ample facilities for handling crowd four times as large, were at hand and no trouble was experienced in getting to and from the lake.

TWO MORE UNFORTUNATES Known to Have Perished in the
 Cahaba Disaster.
 A.:: so SAYS A YOUNG LADY Who Was Passenger on the lll-Fated Train Joe Weaver and Bruce Phillips .. We're the Victims.

Montevallo, Jan. 1.--(Special Cores pondence. .)-There were probably more people killed in the Cahaba river wreck from around Montevallo than any other vicinity Among the unfortunates were:
 Jordan Powell, his wife and three chil- dren. Mir Powell was a son of Isaac Powell, a hard-working, industrious farmer, who lived about four miles north of town.
 Wesley Tibbs and wife were just re- turning to Adger from a visit to James M. Tancher, step-father to Tibbs, a we'll to-do farmer living five miles southwest of town.
 William Weaver, living six miles west of here, lost his son, Joe, whose remains have never been identified.
 Miss Boothe, who escaped from the wreck, says Zoe Weaver occupied a seat directly in front of her with Bruce Phil lips, another young man, raised near here. She says they had gun and dog with them. The skull of dog and gun barrels were all that remained in the wreck to tell the sad tale.
 MT. Weaver, who is in town today is the father of young Weaver, is dis posed to cast blame on the way the re- mains of the bodies were hurried off to Birmingham. He went to the bridge and was there told the bodies had been carried to Birmingham. He then went on there and experienced considerable difficulty in getting in the room to try and identify his sons remains. The people living in the neighborhood of the wreck put little credence in the theory of train wreckers. They say the three savage looking men reported to be at the wreck first were good, re- liable citizens. who lived at Belle Ellen mines. and they remained there all the time and helped get the bodies out.

He leaves a wife and six children. Before his death he said that when he went down in the wreck something caught his leg and fastened him down. He tried several times to pull out, but failed. The fire came within three feet of him. He made final effort and suc- ceeded in getting loose and crawled away from the flames. The injury to his leg and othera bruises caused his death.
