L. & N. Survey Corps.

The Louisville and Nashville has survey corps, with headquarters n Selma. and they are constantly running lines from Selma toward the north. This is the movement in connection with filling the gap between this city and the coal fields. A great deal of the heavy traffic that goes down the l.. and N. now via Montgomery, will then be diN erted this way. It Is hoped that the road will run up the Cahaba Valley and tap the line of the l.. and N. at Blocton. or run from here to Brook wood in Tuscaloosa County. The Bloc ton route is the shortest. but the Brook wood route can be built cheaper, and besides, the road from here to Brook wood would traverse an almost un- broken pine forest, which would give the road something to haul besides the coal and iron from the mineral reg .on. However, nobody knows but the l.. and N. authorities which route they will take after the bridge is completed at this point.

Settled Many Cases.

Col. Harvey E. Jones. State Back
 Tax Commissioner, was before the Board of Revenue yesterday in the cases that were docketed by ex-Back Tax Commissioner w. J. Rountree. Col. s. w. John of Birmingham was on hand to represent MT. Rountree and the State. Colonel Jones had a great many of those against whom cases had been docketed before him and the court and he disposed of a great many of the cases. Many of the cases he threw out altogether as being unworthy of notice. Colonel Jones has made a de- cidedly fine impression on the business community of Selma and the people are delighted with his open. frank, straightforward way of dealing with them. About $10O,0O0 worth of the cases that have been docketed By MT. Rountree stood, and fully that amount was thrown out Colonel John was called to Montevallo to look after some things connected with the Montevallo Girls Industr al School of which he Is a trustee. and could not remain over to settle all the cases, and, on that ac-

SUICIDE THE THEORY,
John Patty's Body Found by His
 Little Grandson.

Anniston, Aug. 2.-(Special. )-A white man. John Patty, was found deao in his room at his home near Edwards vile yesterday. His little grandson was the first one to see the ghastiy sight of his grandfather partly lying and partly sitting on the bed in hls room. A double barrel shotgun was ly- ing on the bed, the muzzle pointing towards the dead man. One of the loads had been discharged, and it is thought he committed suicide, though the matter is now being investigated. Two rifles were also on the bed.
 The little son of John Edwards was sent to the home of his grandfather on an errand. When he pushed open the door he saw the man on the bed with gunshot wounds in his head. Becom- ing frightened the lad ran to his home and told his parents what he had seen. They quickly hurried to the scene and found the corpse.
 The dead man is well known in the vicinity of his home and was highly respected. He seemed to have no ene- mics, and no reason can be assigned why he should commit suicide.
 A peculiar fatality seemed to follow the members of the dead mans family The dead mans father died in the Bryce Hospital for the Insane, Terry Patty, his brother, committed suicide a few years ago, and Terry's son killed himself with the same gun used by his fathes.
 Another terrific electrical storm wis., tied Anniston late yesterday after noon, and came near resulting fatally to several people, who had narrow es- capes. The home of pr. G. A. Mat thews was struck and the roof was de- molished. Mrs. Matthews was severely shocked by the bolt The lightning went through the house and killed a calf under the house. The daughter of Mir. J. M. Prather was in the act of prer airing supper when a bolt struck her home. She was shocked into un- consciousness for several minutes. Parts of the house were badly dam- aged. The storm yesterday and the day before were fearful.

COPPER DAM DESTROYED
GREAT LOSS CAUSED BYl THE
 HIGH RAIN.
Gossip as to Erection of New Union Passenger Station in Selma and a Change in the
 Westerns Route.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma. Aug. 22.
 The contractors for putting down the piers that are to support the bridge across the Alabama opposite the old Franklin warehouse, are having a hard time. The night of the storm the boat that contained the pile-driver and en- zine capsized and dumped the heavy machinery into the river. The Govern ment authorities at Washington were telegraphed to for the purpose of get ting the snag boat Twining to raise the sunken machinery, but as no reply came, the Government boat had to pull out without giving the much-needed assistance. The large boat that con- tained the machinery drifted down the river and landed on the lower sand bar, but the rise in the river has taken 1t further down toward the Gulf.
 The rain continued to pour down and the river persisted in rising. As the waters of the Alabama rose higher and higher and the current commenced to bear heavily against the coffer dam, It became shaky and guy ropes were run from the piling to the land. in the hope of preventing it from floating off and joining the pile-driven boat on the sand bar. The contractors, with number of boats and large number of

 The contractors have been at work nearly two months putting in the COT fer dam and getting ready 10 lay tne foundation of the piers and now all ol the work will have to be done over The boat, engine and pile-driver Una. went to the bottom, must have cost s2 800. and at least that amount mas been expended in the work of driving the piles and sinking the foundatlon and the contractors, or the L ana N Railroad, are out a considerable sun of money, with all of the worK 10 DC done over. It is getting so late Tn the fall that it is feared by some that tne waters of the Alabama will hardly iai early enough to give the bridge pullo CTS time to sink the piers for construct- ing the bridge this season.

Rumor About New Paper.

Your correspondent made diligent in- ouiry. and while severa! of the men interviewed had heard the rumors, still not A one of them could give any au- thentic information from whence the rumors emanated. One of the reports going the rounds was that the manage ment of the new paper had been offered to MT Louis Bamberger of The Times, but when asked about it he said that he did not know anything about 1t. It is said that the men behind the move. ment will form a stock company and will put up enough money to run the paper for the first year without spend- ing one dellar that the paper may take in. Your correspondent does not pub fish this as facts, but as mere rumors. but there is no doubt but that a move ment Joking to the establishment or another paper is on foot.

ern trains will come into Selma over the new Louisville and Nashville bridge. This rumor is predicated on the fear that the old Western bridge is not as strong as 1t might be, and new one will either have to be built or the new Louisville and Nashville structure inside the city limits used. There has been a god deal of talk of late years about the Western bridge not being safe, but the railroad authorities contend that it Is perfectly safe, but it is known that the road re- fused to haul some heavy ordnance. shipped by the government to Fort Morgan, a year or so ago, and this would tend to pfove that the rumors about the bridge being weak have some foundation in fact. If the Western does come down on the opposite side of the river and enter the city over the Louisville and Nashville bridge, the nine miles of track between here and the river on the north side of the Ala bama will be taken up, as there is not a station between the river and Selma and not a pound of freight to be hauled.
 The fact of the Pensacola or Gulf Division of the Louisville and Nashville coming into Selma over the new bridge has started the talk about that road and the Western building union pas senger station near the freight depot of the Western. across the street from Peacock's Foundry. Some people have raised objection to the scheme and seem to think that all of the trains should go into the union station at the foot of Broad Street. As the Gulf trains do not go into the union pas senger station at present, but stop at the old Western station. new pas senger station at the place indicated would be much preferable to the pre- sent arrangement, especially as the electric car line has a terminus within 100 feet of where the new passenger station would be located. The only in- convenience to the travelling public would be that trunks and baggage would have to be transferred from one station to another.

Malt Breakfast Food is the only cereal food that
