RAILROAD ACCIDENT FAST TRAIN STRIKES COUNTRY
 WAGON. Accident Happened at Hayneville Crossing of M. 6 M. Railroad and Two Negroes and c
 Mule Killed.

At what is known as the Haynevilie crossing of the Mobile and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nashville about two miles west of the city wagon was struck by train No. 1, one Of the fastest passenger trains on the Louisville and Nashville. Tn the wagon. were two negroes-Mack Williams and his sen--re- turning to their home in Lowndes County day with a load of cotton which was sold and the start for home made. The crossing spoken of was moved several hundred yards south of its former posi- tion about two years ago when the tracks of the Plant System were raised and subway built under the tracks or that road. From the Mobile and Montgomery crossing there Is an uninterrupted view for nearly a mile in each direction and 1t is a mystery that the negroes did not see the fast train yesterday morninr. The train left the Union ta.sr sSstior as eott s ana Engineer Comer-at every road crossing the regular road crossing signals were sounded from the engine. The train IS a very fast one and there is slight grade for several miles out of the city,, for this reason all steam possible IS worked When the Hayneyilie crossing was approached Engineer Conner was run sounded and he did not shut on, thinking everything all right. Just before the train reached the crossing wagon dash- ed in front of the engine-there was 2
  been ground to pieces, one Of the mules killed and the wagon torn into shreds. The train was stopped ana tne Donles taken from the top and unaer tne plloa, and says that the wagon was deliberateiy driven in front of the approaching train. the supposed object being to try ana get across in front of it. A negro undertaker took charge of the bodies and they will be sent to their home in Lowndes County.
 The engine was the first of the install- ment of big passenger engines 70 pe usea . the 25o and was the first one to take passenger train south.

 The last of the five big passenger loco motives to be used on tne Moonn aa1a aHI reached the local shops at E O clock yes, terday. It wns No. 25S and took local freirht train No. l3 south at 4:S0 yester- tnent of the engines, Nos. 255. 256, 2b7, 25S and 25s. The big fellows had to be stripped of driving rods, etc. before crossing the Tennessee River pEhge i42,OoO pounds-71 tons-without the ten der. While in working order. that IS with Voal wood, etc.. they weigh 2b9, oOO pounds; Several of the shipment or to-t0n n,i coai the Louisville and Nashville Is having 260 of these cars built to be used mainly for the export coal trade rom blrming- ham south These cars together with the biz freight engines put the M: and M equal to all requirements. The big freight engines went through from Montgomery to Mobile yesterday for the nrst ume- they pull a train of 1000 tons whereas the former light engines could only pull TAO tons. Tn addition to the aO-ton cars the l.. and N. Is having some built with a capacity of 50 tons which will make the freight department rank among the best best In the country.

RUMORS ABOUT A QUEEN
ALLEGED ATTEMPT To KILL THE
SERVIAN RULERS CONSORT.
Draga Said to Have Been Wounded
Another Report Says She Com
mitted Suicide.

VIENNA, Nov 2O.-An unconfrmed re-
port has reached Vienna that Queen Draga
has been shot at in the streets of Belgrade.
The Neue Freie Presse and other Vienna
papers publish various rumors, one declar-
ing that the Servian Queen was assas-
sinated, another that she was wounded
and a third that she committed suicide.
Reports from other sources deny the state
ment that Queen Draga was killed and
assert that the rumor of her death was
caused by a hysterical scene with King
Alexander. There is no reliable informa-
ton on the subject here, but it is generally
believed a serious crisis exists in Belgrade
PARIS, Nov. 21.-According to a dispatch
from Vienna to the Echo de Paris, an at
tempt has been made to assassinate the
Queen of Servia, three shots having been
fired at her while she was driving near
Semlin. A dispatch to the same paper
from Belgrade gives a rumor that the
Queen attempted suicide at Semlin.

THROWN OUT OF OFFICE
GOEBELITE BRECKENRIDGE NO
LONGER ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Place Given by the Kentucky Court
of Appeals to c. j. Pratt, the Le-
galIy Elected Republican.

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 2O-The Court
of Appeals to-day reversed the judgment
of the Franklin Circuit Court, which sus-
tanned the decision of the state contest
board in giving the office of attorney gen
eral to Judge Robert ]. Breckenridge, and
holds that Clifton ]. Pratt, of Hopkins
county, the Republican nominee, is the legal
official. The decision of the court is final
and directs that Breckenridge retire imme-
diately from office. Breckenridge was on
the Democratic ticket, headed by William
Goebel for Governor, two years ago and
Pratt was on the Republican state ticket,
headed by w. S. Taylor for Governor, that
year.
Justice Guffy delivered the opinion Of the
court and Judges Barnard, Durelle and
O'Rear, Republicans, concur with Guny.
Judges Hobson, Paynter and White, Demo-
Gratis, dissent from this decision. The
court, through Judge Guffy. says: 1.-THE
judgment or decision of the State Board of
Contest is void and conferred no rights on
the appellee Breckenridge and could not af-
feet appellant Pratts right and title to the
office in contest, and the court below erred
in rendering the judgment appealed from. .
This case Is the last of the contests
growing out of the election of 1899 All OF
the Republican candidates for state Offices
with the exception of Judge Pratt appealed
Immediately from the decision of the State
Contest Board and a Democratic Court OF
Appeals sustained the seating of the Demo-
cratic claimants. Pratt waited until the
political complexion of the higher court
changed and then filed an appeal.
Judge Breckenridge has frequently said
recently If removed that he would become
a candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Governor two years hence. He is a
brother of the eX-congressman from the
Lexington district.

ton, TO the effect that the bandits were
concealed in a defile of the Belleritza
mountains, district OF Dubnitza, could not
be acted on by ii, as an inquiry showed
the place in question TO be within Turkish
territory
The latest intelligence received here sets
forth that the brigands are holding out for
high figure of ransom, and ii is asserted
that they are able 10 keep their captives
as long as this may be necessary.
Mr.. Dickinson. according to the Vezerna
former Macedonian committee has sent an
ultimatum to the brigands. giving them
six days TO accept a specified sum as the
ransom for Miss Stone. II this amount Is
