TUSCALOOSA.
w. L. DInkIns still Trying to Raise
 the Money for Survey.

Tuscaloosa, September 16.-(Special.)- city in the interest of the Birmingham and Vicksburg railroad. MT. D1nkins IS one of the committee who visited Tlsca- loosa and Birmingham about a month and a half ago in the interest of that road. They asked a contribution of $250o from Tuscaloosa for the survey and $5O00 from Birmingham for the same purpose. At that time the survey was at the Ala bama line and the amount asked of this place was to insurs its coming through this place. Committees were appointed to look after the raising of the sum. but at subsequent meeting 1t was decided that the amount asked of Tuscaloosa was disproportionate with the amount re- quested of Birmingham. MT. Dinkins hopes to further interest the people of this place In the road. the survey of which Is about fifteen miles inside the state of Alabama and thirty-hve or forty miles from Tuscaloosa
 A collision occurred on the dummy line about 1o:3o this morning which badly dis abled one of the engines. The passenger dummy was going out to the University and the freight dummy with car load of coal was backing into Tuscaloosa when the two met on a curve beyond the University. The freight dummy was stopped before the two met, but the pas senger dummy was going at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour. The passen- ger engine was smashed in at the head and the coach also battered up some, the whole damage amountin~ to less than $20o. The engineers and firemen jumped in time to save themselves from injury.

fears that the result will be serious in a physical way to his friend. When Vice President Hobart died Hanna got tele- gram at his office in Cleveland announo- ing the death. He broke down, laid his head on the table at which he was seated and wept like child, his sturdy form shaking with sobs. He was absolutely wrapped up in Mckinley in whose com pany he took the keenest pleasure. To the writer in 1896 at his winter home In Thomasville. Ga., he said that he hoped to retire from politics that year.
 'If Mckinley should be nominated and elected mean to get out" said MT. Han ma then. My heart Is out of condition and my physicians tell me that undue ex- citement may carry me off. I have all want out of politics and wouldn't have a job.'
 Yet to please the President and be near him at Washington MT. Hanna had him. self made Senator He also took up the burden of the campaign work and sank his personal interests for the sake of par ty success. The sunshine went out of his life with the death of Mckinley, and 1t would not be surprising if the closing year did not see his retirement to prl- vate life He will not be driven out by Foraker, Roosevelt or any one else. The old lions teeth and claws are sound, bus his leonine heart Is cracked and broken. With his passing will go the most perfect political machine that Ohio politics has ever known. He Is the only man that could manage 1t, and now 1t will fall apart.

A dispatch from Washington shows that
Congressman Fordney is actively at work to
secure an increase of pay for the rural
mail carriers. 1t viii be recalled that the
last increase, from $500 to $500 per year,
was made at his earnest solicitation and it
is TO be hoped that he will be equally as
successful this time. The dispatch referred
to, sent by Otto Carmichael to the Detroit
Journal, Is as follows:
"On account of the small salary of rural
mail carriers, hundreds CT good men are re-
signing every day. In Michigan 1t has
been almost impossible to keep good men
on the routes. Representatives II. G..
Smith and FordneY called upon Postmaster
General Smith today, and were assured that
IL a majority of the congressman would sign
a petition he would raise their salaries to
5000 the first year of service, S720 the
second and $3.50 the third. The Michigan
men will have no trouble in securing the de-
sired number of signatures, as almost all
the members realize that the pay is toe
small"
