TRAIN WRECKER TRIAL
JOHN DUNDEE WILL ANSWER
 FOR ATTEMPTED WRECK.
Louisville and Nashville Was Pulling 8 Circus Train When Dundee, It is Claimed, Put Rail
 on the Track.

When the Circuit Court of Geneva County Is convened in the pretty little court house in Geneva tomorrow morn ing one of the first cases called will be of peculiar interest to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the Alabama and Florida division in particular.
 The story is one of train wrecking, or rather attempted train wrecking.
 Engineer Bill Reynolds was pulling a special circus train out of Geneva. A heavy train 1t was, loaded with wagons, animals. employees and the general para phernalia of circus outfit. Being such a heavy train every ounce of steam com patible with safety was being worked coming down grades so as to be able to climb the next hill. When just about a mile this side of Geneva the pilot of the locomotive struck something with ter rife force, the cab and entire body of the locomotive quivering under the shock.
 Engineer Reynolds stopped his machine as quickly as possible. and making a flying leap into the darkness with his gun in his hand, grabbed a negro man by the throat. There were two other men there but being alone the engineer had his hands full with the one that he had caught and the other two made their escape in the darkness.
 The men had, it is alleged, put heavy iron rail across the track and wedged 1t in with a pile of cross ties. The fact that the pilot Of the locomotive struck and scattered the rail and ties was the miracle that saved big lot of damages for the Louisville and Nashville and probably the lives of several people.
 The value of dead animals are usually increased many times over the actual value of the same beast in life, and if the train had been wrecked and any of the wild animals or horses killed, the loss to the Louisville and Nashville can be imagined.
 When Enginer Reynolds had lugged the captive up in the cab 1t was learned that his name was John Dundee, q worthless negro who at odd times worked in tur- pentine stills. It Is his trial that will interest the Geneva court tomorrow.

SUPERB BAND CONCERT
 AT THE AUDITORIUM
PaOletti'S New Orleans Men Faced Fine Audi ence With Varied Program and
 Made Great Hit,

the selections from Faust"
 As showing the feelings of the audi ence .orrent Cf applause greeted the opening selection from the favorite old ''Burgomaster' and when the swing of the tuneful Song of the Kangaroo" burst forth the audience could hardly keep its seat.
 Many artists of ability have been heard in Montgomery. but the equal of Emile Cheyre on the picalo has never been list ened to here or probably anywhere else in this country. The silvery sheen of moonbeams glinting through the trees on q glorious summers night-this is the nearest approach to description or that picalo solo that can be made. and even then one scarcely has conception of the harmonious beauty of the number Emile Chevre is an artist entirely in a class by himself.
 In such sympathetic enjoyment of every number on the program yesterday morning was the audience that by req son of the encores 1t was after 1 o'clock before the finale was reached. Paoietti s Band has been a distinctive feature Of the Carnival this year and yesterday was a fitting close to its triumph.
