 Delayed.

Five freight cars jumped the track at Fillmore yesterday afternon at o'clock, and the Louisville and Nashville was thereby blocked at that point until mid night.
 The cause of the accident is thought to have been due to spreading rails.
 No one was hurt in the accident.
 The cars which figured in the wreck were part of the first section train No l3, a freight. This train was due in Montgomery before o'clock D. m.
 News of the blockade was received hert at o'clock and Wrecking Boss kerlin with the wrecking train, and force of hands, immediately left for the scene.
 The track was not torn up but 1t was effectively blocked by the derailed cars, and the work of the wrecking crew was devoted to clearing away the cars, some of which were badly damaged.
 The accident badly disarranged all schedules on the Louisville and Nashville. Train No. 3 the south bound passenger which was due here at 7:25 did not reach the city until an early hour this morn ing.
 Train No 1, the northbound passenger train was held at the depot until mid night. On board this train was the Abell- Martin wedding party en route tc MT. Abell's home in Canada. A number of thme friends of the bride and groom remained at the depot with them untli the eagerly looked for notice came that the track was clear shortly after mid night.

RIOTS IN HAITI.
Provisional Government Incapable of
 Coping With Situation.

Kingston, Jam. June 25.-Mail advices received here from Hayti say the situa- ton is more serious in that republic. The party feeling is extremely high. The adherents of the presidential candidate are guarding the latter's home nightly.
 Several men were killed in a riot at Cane Haytien, a couple of days ago.
 The provisional government of Hayti is incapable of coping with the situation and an extensive outbreak is imminent. Even now a reign of terror prevails The saIarias of the officials are four month; in arrears and the efforts of the govern rnent to obtain a loan have been futile.
 Generals Fouchard and Pierre are re- norted to be joining hands in the hope of defeating M Firmin, whose position is strong.
