BRIDGES ARE DAMAGED
FLOOD CARRIES AWAY A NUM- BER IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY
New Structure Across Catoma Greek Submerged and Probably Damaged-Loss Will Amount
 to Many Thousands.

Many bridges and embankments along the public roads of Montgomery County have been washed away Great havoc has been wrought throughout the county by the exceeding heavy rains of saturday and Sunday. The Catoma Creek was out of its banks yesterday and at the point where 1t is spanned by bridge on the Mobile road the creek was mile wide All travel is suspended on that road and it will not be known until today whether the big bridge Is safe.
 It was reported at the office of the Board of Revenue yesterday that the big bridge across Catoma Creek had been washed away Clerk Allen telephoned MT. Hendrix, who lives on the Mobile road to investigate. He reported that he could not get within a half mile of the bridge because of the high water.
 Later Tn the afternoon J. M. Garret. county engineer went out to the bridge. The waters had receeded considerably since morning and MT. Garrett was able to get within a few feet of the bridge. The water was still running over 1t and 1t was impossible for him to make an examination to see whether the bridge was safe for travel. Mir Garrett says d report has been received that big bridge on the Haynevtlle road has been washed away. He will go out this morning to investigate the matter.
 Reports have been received by c. A. Allen. Clerk of the Board of Revenue, that bridges have heen washed away on the Upper Wetumpka road. the Ware s Ferry Road. the Carter Hin Road. Part of a Sl 2UJ bridge on the Woodley Road was reported gone and 12-foot embank- ment on the Woodley Road was also washed away. Slight damage was also done to q bridge on the Norman Bridge ROad

 Opelika Jail. REIGN OF TERROR ENDS The Hunted Man Was a
 Walking Arsenal. He Had a DOuble-barreled Shotgun, Winchester and Several
 Pistols and Knives-Held
 in Lee County.

opelilxa. Dec, SO.--(special. .)-After more than week Of terror. bloodshed and dis order the people of Crawford and Rus sell County can now rest safe. for Uriah Porter. who murdered Joseph Fincher last Wednesday and carried terror Into many homes in Russell County is now safe in the Lee County jail in this city.
 He came in this morning about o'clock and surrendered tc Deputy Sheriff John L. Moon, who was formerly Chief of Police of Phoenix City and who has once before arrested him. Porter was ac- companied by a man named Davis, a friend of his. who induced him to take the step of surrenderlng to the officials.
 After being imprisoned Porter sent for Tax Collector Boower who Is a friend of his. and when the Collector arrived he had q long talk with him, and was advised that he had done right in giving up to the law.
 Porter claims that he was afraid of a mob and gives this as the reason why he did not surrender. He claims that the accounts of his doings have been greatly exaggerated.
 The warrants sworn out for Porter in Russell County were never executed as he was never arrested. A warrant was sworn out for him in this county as some of the offenses charged against him took place on the county line and he will be held for trial here at the Spring term of the Circuit Court.
 When Porter kicked at the jail door this morning and it was opened he told Deputy Moon that he had come to give up. He was walking arsenal He had a double barreled shotgun, Win chester rifle and all kinds of pistols and knives. Moon told him to come in, that he was glad to see him.
 The military were still hunting for Porter when the telegraph office opened this morning, and the authorities were

FIVE ROADS ARE HARD HIT Tracks Washed Away and |. Trains Delayed. ENGINEER RUSSELL KILLED Freight Train On Western PlungeS Into Creek. Mobile and Ohio Only One to Escape Damage-with the Exception
 of One All Trains are

Never in the history of railroads in this section of the country will Sunday December g. 19v1, be forgotten.
 Out of the six railroads entering Mont gomery only one managed to come out of the disastrous fight without damage that one being the Mobile and Ohio. The Louisville and Nashville, Western, Plant System, Seaboard Air Line and Central of Georgia all coming in for a share of the trouble. All of Sunday morning engines were poking their noses along hunting for soft places on the track and in majority of cases they found them all right Soft roadbeds, loose ties and general shaky tracks. coupled with broken cnlverts through which torrents rushed was the order of the day from o'clock Sunday morning until early this morning. While the damage to the diff forent railroads will amount to many thousands of dollars, still the remarkable mart of it all is that only one human life was lost.

Something New in Mechanics,

Great is the humor OF wOman-
when she doesn't mean it. Great Is
the nerve of wOman-when she doesn't
need it. And great are the nerves Of
woman-when it 50 pleases her. This
combination Is blamable for the fol-
lowing: A very pretty girl sat in
Long Island railroad train en- route
for Manhattan Beach. Suddenly the
whistle blew. 1t is perhaps not neces-
sary to say that Long Island rail-
road whistle is more etfcacious than
otherwise. 1t is tuned to the key of
w and is operated with great diapa-
son. giving out Il different brand of
yelping shrek than anything known
to nature. To repeat, the whistle
whistled. "Oooow," cried the pretty
girl. Isn't that awful? | should
think the railroad company would
have these things oiled. 1t is an out
rage" Her companion had often heard
of wetting whistles, but never heard
before of oiling them. Think it over.
