EIGHT CARS OF
 COAL WRECKED Engine on Birmingham Mineral
 Jumped Track FILING CARS UP IN DEEP CUT Miraculous Part of It Was That Not a Member of the Crew Received Scratch Traffic Suspend
 ed All Night.

Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock, an ugly wreck occurred on the Birmingham Mineral railroad, almost totally destroying eight cars of coal and ore, and blocking the track on which the accident happened for about twelve hours. The miraculous part of it is that not a man in the train crew was even scratched.
 The accident occurred near McAdory, a station four miles below Bessemer, and about two hundred yards north of the place where the passenger train turned over on one of the fianges on the pony truck of the engine breaking off, while running at the regular schedule time, and this immedi- ately threw it off of the track, and turned it over on it's side. The point where the engine, Mo- 707, chose to leave the track was in a big cut and as soon as it turned over, all of the freight cars following be- hind it piled up in heap, completely fill ing the cut. The train was in charge of Engineer Marshall and Conductor Jim Norton
 Traffic was entirely stopped along the line, and the passengers on the regular passenger trains had to be transferred around the wreck. The train wrecker with a big crew of men left Birmingham inn mediately and arrived at the scene of the wreck about 6:30 o'clock. Trainmaster Stollenwerck was in charge and last night expressed a hope of having the track cleared by this morning, though 1t will be a very big job to remove all the coal and orc which is piled up in the cut.

The steamer proceeded on her voy age, making 121a to II knots per hour. Dur ing the following days the St. Paul experi- enced most tempestuous weather.

It was of fine quality and was perfectly good so long as witness had any thing to do with it. Asked if he had had any official complaint about the beef while In Porto Rico, he said ali that was said to him on that line was by General Mics at the latlers headquarters on August and 5. "J spoke to General Miles, said the wit ness, about the presence of beef on the ship. He said: I understand that beef is not good. Do you know that it is?' I replied that thought ii was good. I un- derstand,' replied General Miles, that it is not good and I can secure right here all the native beef l want That was all"
