TWO BODIES UNIDENTIFIED.

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. AT the un-
dertaker's in this city there remain two
clnrred bodies taken from the wreck
last Sunday which have not been identi-
fed. 1t is the general impression that
these bodies are the remains Of S. w.
Tibbs and wife who were ON the train
and who are still missing.
The body Of Tom Gleadan is stin miss
ing nor has the body Of Samuel Weaver,
Of Aldrich, Ala, who was on the Inflated
train been found.
There is little prospect Of finding eth
er of these bodies and it now appears
that there were at least five more killed
than originally reported. Presuming that
last Sundays disaster was the result Of
tran wreckers dia.bolical work, the
Southern Railway Company and the l..
and n. Railroad have by advertisement
in the papers and posted notices offered
reward of ten thousand dollars for the
arrest and the evidence to convict the
guilty parties.

SHOT THE INFoRMER.
Norfolk's Assistant FSre-Ohsef Takes
Revenge ON the Chief.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. Ia *ery sensa-
tional shooting affair occurred III Norfolk
today, the parties to it being the Chief
and Assistant Chief Of the fire depart
ment. 1t occurred at about Il 80 p. M,
on Avon street, near the number / en-
CINE house, and the news ralsidly spread
through the city, causing quite a breeze
of excitement.
1t seems that this morning Chief Ryan
and Fire Committeeman J0nes went to
the uptown engine house, which was in
charge of Assistant Chief Fsank Wood.
That officer was found slightly intoxi-
Gated Chief Ryan came down town and
reported Assistant Chief Wood to the
Mayor. 1t would seem that the latter
suspected what Chief Ryan did and also
came down town. As Mayor Mayo was
writing the suspension of Assistant Chief
Wood he heard shooting outside, which
proved 10 be shots from Woods pistol,
aimed ait Ryan.
The two chiefs Of the department had
met on Avon street, just abreast of the
engine house, and it is supposed some
words must have ensued, Tfhen Wood
began firing at Chief Ryan, the latter re-
treating as the desperate map continued
to shoot. Five balls sped ons their dead
ly mission, but only two took effect, one
striking the chief in the right thigh and
lodging there, and the other striking him
near the base of spine, and gsancng out,
making only a flesh wound. A member
of the department and deteetiye Snow
den and police officer Twiford, who
were near, ran UP and seized the assis-
tant chief, having to wrenoa the pistol
out Of his hands. Mr.. Ryan was taken
into the engine house and laid down on
THE bed in his office and later was re-
moved to st. Vincent's hospital. The
wounds are not serious.
Mr. Wood has been connected with the
fire department here since III the fifties,
while Mr.. Ryan was appointed chief dur
ing the Prohibition administration about
two years ago, and came hera from New
York.

survived by a widow, three daughtrs and
two sons. The funeral will take place

Admiral Skerrett had a long and honor
able career in the service of his country.
He was in command of the naval forces
on the Pacific station and was at Homo

of his suspected sympathy with the ali

tached from the command Of the station
