STREET CARS COLLIDE
PASSENGERS AND CREWS Es CAPPED INJURY.
One Motorman Jumped and the Other Was Knocked Through Glass Door-Cars Were
 Damaged.

The loud crash of two street cars of the Montgomery Street Railway Company as they colli6ed on Dexter Avenue near Perry Street together with the sputter- inEs of electricity and the screams of the frightened passengers. caused consider able excitement about o'clock last night.
 As a result of the collision, the front platform of a Jackson Street car was smashed in and trafic was delayed for some time.
 It seems that Jackson Street car had come down Dexter Avenue and had stop ped on the north side track to let an Oak Park car, which was coming up the Ave- nue, pass by.
 The Jackson Street car was in charge of Motorman Calvin and Conductor Por- ter. This car containedeno passengers.
 The Oak Park car was in charge of Motorman Singleton and Conductor Clay ton.
 ye-witnesses say that the Oak Park ear was coming very rapidly up Dexter Avenue. It was going so fast that when the car reached the switch near the cor ner 1t turned the switch and instead of continuing on the south side track, it jumped into the north side track. The sudden turn of the car caused the trolley to jump off. There are several overhead wires at this point and the trolley fash ed from one wire to another. causing great flashes of electricity. which fright ened the passengers. and. as one Of them said. caused the motorman to loose his head. The car dashed on into the Jack son Street car, which was standing on the track waiting for the Oak Park car to pass by.
 Motorman Singleton jumped just before the crash. and Motorman Calvin says he don't know anything about the accident except he was knocked through glass door in the front part of the car.
 Several passengers who were on the Oak Park car jumped of. but none of them were hurt. The dashboard and front platform of the Jackson Street car was knocked in and the can was forced sev- eral yards up the track.
 The accident attracted a large crowd and for a time there was considerable excitement on the Avenue.

The best news that the horse lovers of Montgomery and this section of the South have heard in many long day came in a telegram yesterday to Mana ger Newell of the Gentleman's Driving Club. The telegram was received yester- day morning from Boda, Mir. ketcham' s manager. and stated that Cresceus would be in Montgomery on the 18th of January just three weeks from now.
 There will probably be the greatest crowd at Riverside on that day that ever poured through the gates of the famous old track, and it is safe to say that at no point in their journey from the East to the Pacific slope and back again will MT. Ketcham and his famous horse re- ceive the ovation that will meet them in Montgomery. In Alabama there Is no place for the thoroughbred. but there are numbers of stock farm for the breeding, sale and campaigning of fast harness horses. From the Garths at Huntsville and Courtland to the McCurdy's just below Montgomery, in Lowndes Coun- ty. Judge, Caffey's former place near Marion ard others some of the fastest harness horses ever raised in the South have made. regulations in the trotting and pacing world. Of course all these gentlemen will be here to see &tSottups dH0s DtS1uCS tudt, tbc AofStS of horses from Georgia, Tennessee and other adjoining States will journey to Montgomery on the 1sth. Already the question of reduced rates has been taken up with the roads centering in Mont gomcry and having connections away from here, and rate of fare and a third for the round trip will probably be offered for distance of 300 or 4oo miles from Montgomery.
 
 thoroughly familiar with tho wonderful career of Cresceus as small boy is with his alphabet, but numbers of people who love good horses simply for the sake of the noble animals themselves, know nothing of the very fine points to which Cresceus has reduced the trotting speed of the world. No greater monument in all the world can be raised to laud a certain strain of blood in a horse than the fact that in both Cresceus and the Ab- bott-the fastest trotters ever looked through a bridle-the Mambrino blood flows. From a mile in 2:17 to a mile in 2:02 l-4 is a pretty long cry. but that is just the status of the case at this be- ginning of the new year of 1902. At Buff falo in the State of New York Budd Doble drove Dexter to the worlds trot- ting record of 2:17 1-4-this was in 1867, just thirty-five years ago. During the harness season of 1901 Montgomerians will remember the marvellous burst of speed when at Cleveland Cresceus trot- ted full mile in 2:02 l-4. The recent fast marks set as worlds records by stall lions. geidings, etc. look a bit tame now in the blaze of light kindled by this won. derful son of Robert McGregor. When Cresceus trotted his mile in 2:06 3-4 at Cleveland year or so ago hersemen be- gan to whisper among themselves and the question that they asked each other
 was whether the stallion would get dow,

Lost Hair

It's risky, this losing of the hair. You may not get it back again. When the hair first begins to fall out use Ayers Hair Vigor. It will stop the falling and will make new hair come in. And it always restores color to gray hair.

GOOD WORK AT FIRE.
Department Prevents Big Loss by
 Hard Labor.

Two practical illustrations were given by fires on Commerce Street about 8 o'clock last night. the first being the prompt work of the Montgomery Fire Department and the second, the urgent need of chemical engine by the de- partment.
 The fire was in the third story of the Gay Building at the corner of Commerce end Bibb Streets, originating in .the rooms used as a cigar factory on that floor. By quick work and with the aid of the long ladders of the truck com pany, the fremen, by the use of Bab- cocks alone. confined the fire to the one room in which it started. The flames had assumed extensive proportions by the time the department arrived. and not withstanding the hardest kind of work, part of the ceiling overhead had been burned through. On the first floor of the building are the offices of the Wes- tern Union Telegraph Company, and if the fire had broken out about midnight and burned down to the lower floors the loss would have been something tremen- dous. As 1t was the entire loss will hardly exceed $75.
