 The employees of the road on board the train and a number of the male passengers began to open hp the cars to release the passengers. Some of the doors had to be broken open, but this was soon accom- plished and all the passengers, injured and uninjured, were taken out.
 McAdory station has no telegraph instru- ment, so the news of the accident had to be taken to Bessemer. a distance of about five miles. Conductor Rutherford bor- rowed a bicycle from partyl of fishermen who were at a stream nearby, and began the trip a-wheel.
 Arriving there the word was flashed over the wires to Birmingham telling of the wreck.

Wrecking Train Starts

The message was received about noon and immediately wrecking train was put fin readiness and it, together with several coaches made a fast run to McAdory, arriving there about 1 o'clock Dr. George Brown, the Louisville and Nashville rail- roads physician at this point, and Dave Brown, the roads claim agent, accompanied the wrecking train.
 Arriving there, thorough examination of the track was made, but not the slight est cause could be found for the accident. The track was in a perfect condition, not spread at all and not a spike loose. The only reason that can be assigned is that the tender the front coach jumped the track, and tine impetus which the train had tore the first three coaches from their couplings and threw them off the track down the embankment.
 The rear wheels of the tender were put on the track within twenty minutes after the wrecking train arrived. and as the three derailed cars wer entirely away from the track the road was in shape for im- mediate transportation.
 The cars suffered little, and it is esti- mated that their damage will amount to only about $50O The scene of the wreck is near the dynamite factory at McAdory.
 Dr. Browne and pr. Robinson of Besse mer, who had gone to the scene of the wreck in a buggy, put all of the injured passengers on the relief train, and they, to- gether with nearly all of the injured pas sengers, were brought into the city, arriv- ing at 2 o'clock

First Thought Very Serious

The news which came over the wires first was necessarily very meagre in details, and no names of the injured were given. Word was sent that about fifteen passen- gers were injured. and preparations were made for two ambulances and five hacks to meet the relief train. They were at first instructed to meet the train at Four teenth street. but on account of the down. pour of rain the run was continued to the depot, where the injured were uhloaded.
 The hurrying through the streets of so many ambulances and hacks, in connection with the wreck, set the widest rumors afoat. It was said that large numbers of passengers were killed and scores injured. A great throng of spectators gathered at the depot to see the relief train come in. :.
 All of the injured except MT. Tegner were able to alight almost without assistance. The latter was lying on a cot in the bag gage car totally unconscious. He and sev- eral others of the injured passengers were removed to the Wilson-Brown infirmary where their injuries were examined, and all but two were discharged. MT. Long, MT. Jackson and several others said their injuries were very trivial, and refused to have them examined.
 On Visit to His Daughter
 w. F. Tegner, the passenger who was so seriously injured, is 6S years of age. He had been on visit to his daughter and son-in-law, MT. and Mrs. J. M Maxwell, at Brookwood. They were accompanying him back to his home in Elyton. He. had a very ugly wound on the right side of the head. At midnight he was still uncon- scious, and was expected to die at any minute.
 The mysterious aspect of the wreck re- wives the memory of the horrible Cahaba bridge catastrophe, which occurred on the same road more than year ago. The trainmen are already whispering that the line is possessed of a "hoodoo."

The Field Trials

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 2Z-The closing
day of the Pacific Coast field trials was
unsatisfactory Some of the best dogs,
like Dash Antonio disappointed their ad
mirers, and the sport was not equal to that
of previous days. Emmett Sullivan's Peach
Mark, an English setter, bred and trained
in California, won the all-age stake. The
second place went to w. S. Tevis pointer.
Cuba of Kenwood, the winner of second
in the derby. Luke, an eastern field trial
winner, recently purchased for Mrs Caesar
Young, was third. The derby winner, ].
f. Lucas pointer, Alex c., was in bad
form, and failed to get place. Most of
the visiting sportsmen will remain here for
the remainder of the week for the purpose
of shooting on the ranges.
