 A broken rail in a culvert washed out by heavy rains threw the baggage car from the track. This car, the smoker and one passenger car were overturned, resting on their sides. Three passenger cars and the sleeper also left the track, but did not overturn. The engine and mail car remained on the track. Engineer Kelly shut off the air on the train as he saw the culvert's condition and thus saved a greater disaster. The track was torn up for 300 feet.
 c. l.. McLain, who was killed, was sit ting on the car step of the smoker at the time of the accident. He was buried un- der a car truck.
 stock train had passed the point just ahead of the passenger and a farmer boy saw the broken rail and washout. He tried to warn the passenger engineer, but was too late.

RECEIVER ASKED
 FOR MOBILE & OHIO Sensational Suit Filed in Chan cery Court at Meridian AN OLD FIGHT IS RENEWED Object of the Suit Is to Block the Move ment Consolidating the Mobile and
 Ohio Road With the South
 ern Railway.
AN OLD FIGHT IS RENEWED

Meridian, July 30.-(Special IA sensa- tional suit was filed in Chancery Court yesterday afternoon, asking that re- ceiver be appointed for the Mobile and Ohio Railroad company.
 The petitioners further request that the consolidation of the Mobile and Ohio with the Southern be set aside, avering that 1t is against the laws of Mississp- pi.
 On of the reasons given for asking for a receiver is to give the stockholders As much security as allowed those who hold enormous interest bearing bonds.
 The application was filed by Attorneys of Vicksburg for persons who own com- mon stock to the value of thirty-nine shares.
 AS soon as the summonses were served on the railroad representatives, Hon. A. J. Russell. an attorney for the road, se- train for Mobile where he is today in consultation with the officers and gener- al attorney of the road.
 An Old Fight Renewed.
 The hard fight put up by the Southern to bring about the consolidation with the Mobile and Ohio is still fresh in the minds of every one in Mississippi, and should the court grant the prayer of the petitioners 1t would mean a succession of legal controversies which would probably last for years.
 The application Is made by L. Edmonds of Virginia and George L. Venner of Massachusetts. These are stockholders in the Mobile and Ohio who refused to con- cur in the sale to the Southern.
 They want to restrain the management of the Southern from operating the Mobile and Ohio. and ask that receiver be ap- pointed to take charge of the same under the direction of the court.
 They ask that persons now acting as officials of the Mobile and Ohio be. pro- hibited from operatisg 1t and that the re- ceiver, when appointed, advertise the names of all Mobile and Ohio stockhold- CTS so that it can be ascertained who are the owners of the road.
 When this Is ascertained the receiver is to be directed to call a meeting of the stockholders for the purpose of electing new officers and determining the future conduct and policy of the road; and when the directors and officers are so elected the receivership is to be dis missed.
 The object Is to block the sale of the Mobile, and Ohio to the Southern.

New Method Of Using Fenther,.

Ostrich feathers are more worn
than usual at this season. The broad.
er brimmed hats are often trimmed
with them. AS yet, this kind of hat
is somewhat exceptional and is more
often to be seen in black than in
color. A new method of adjusting
ostrich tips is to attach them to the
semi-coronet, which tits the hat or
toque to one side, so that they stand
almost erect, the points curling back
over the brims. In this case the coro-
net may consist of semicircular
ornament in pierced gilt metal or cut
jet. The gilt ornament is chosen for
a toquc, made of pink lisse, arranged
in "a quantity of fiat plaits, like the
leaves of book encircling the edge OF
the brim; and to this are attached, in
the manner just described, two black
ostrich tips. The same arrangement
is carried out with white tips and q
Jet ornament for white tulle toque,
the turban border of which is yelled
with black tulle very closely sewn
over with square black spangles.-Mil'
