THROWN FROM TRESTLE
ELECTRIC CAR TRAILER FALLS
 EIGHTEEN FEET.
Occupants Have Remarkable Escape from Death-Six Persons Receive Injuries, But None
 is Fatally Hurt.

Louisville. Ky, Dec. A.-Six persons were injured, several of them seriously. as the result of a collision between the trailer of an electric train of the Ken lucky and Indiana Bridge and Railway Company and a Big Four freight on a siding on the Water Street treste just above First Street in this city today.
 The trailer of the electric train was thrown from the trestle to the ground eighteen feet below and the escape of the seven occupants of the car from death was remarkable.
 The Injured: James Williams, New AL bany, leg crushed and body badly bruised; T. E. Rutes, New Albany, slightly bruis- ed; W. T. Adams, Chief of Police. New Albany, back wrenched and bruised1 F, Trunk, New Albany, badly cut by glass; W. Deer New Albany, bruised; Brack Spicer, Big Four switchman, leg hurt. None of the injured will die.
 Fortunately the collision took place at a point where the New Albany train is generally unoccupied save by the crew, The electric train composed of a motor and a trailer had just discharged it's Lou isville passengers at the First Street sta ton and had moved up in order to re- verse the train so as to get the motor front for the return trip. A crowd of Christmas shoppers were waiting to re- turn to New Albany and few had board ed the train when the collision which was due to a misunderstanding of the signals occurred.

A WELL KNOWN EDUCATOR
Professor of Pedagogy at
 State University.
Member of an 1llustrious Family, Be- ing a Son of Major General John H. Forney of the
 Confederate Army.

Birmingham. Dec. A.-tSpecial)-By the accidental discharge of a 22-calibre rifle Jacob Forney, Professor of Peda- gogy in the State University at Tuska- loosa, was killed at Springville, small place in St. Clair County. twenty miles north of Birmingham. on the Alabama Great Southern Railroad this morning.
 He was in water closet some distance from the house when the shot was fired and when found he was dead, the ball having penetrated his head and no doubt his brain. Prof. Forney was in Spring vile with his wife and two children to spend the holidays with Mrs. Forney's parents, pr. and Mrs. James McLaugh- lin. Professor Forney had the rife to shoot some sparrows. He fired a number of shots and appeared to be having a good time. He was seen to enter the closet and close the door behind him and hardly had the door closed when the shot was heard accompanied by an al- most inaudihle cry. Members of the fam fly rushed to the plaoa and found him hreathing his last.
 Struck in Nose.
 The ball had first struck in the nose, passing on through one eye and then i'm bedding itself in his head just back of the forehead. As quickly as possible the unfortunate man was taken to the house and an examination made by Dr. Me Langhlin and others. It was to be seen at a glance that there was no hope. His young wife was craEed with grief.
 Prof. Founey was S5 years of age and a member of one of the most illustrious of Alabama families. His father was Gen arL John H. Tornsy. Major General in the Confederate army, and a man of affairs in the business world up to ths 1ns ct his death last September. His AAsis. CoEgreszznan William II. Forxsy, rspresented the old Fourth District in the National House Of Representatives for many years. He was a cousin of MT. John Forney and Miss Fannie Forney of Birmingham and related to the families of ex x-Governor Joseph F. Johnston and Captain James E. Webb of this city.
 He began his career as an educator in his home town of Jacksonville. Ala, where for several years ho was President of the State Normal College. He made a splendid reputation in that position. his work calling attention to his ability and later landing him in the position he held at death. He went to the Universi- ty two years ago. As a teacher he stood hirh in the State For season he was President of the State Teachers Associa- ton and at the time of his death on sev- eral important committees. There is no question but what the shot was acciden- tai. The supposition is that he stood the gun up in a corner and the jar of the door caused 1t to fall and discharge with the above effect

TO RECEIvE HUMBERTs.
France Takes Precautions to Avoid a
 Demonstration.

08u0ubtTAtAohs f
 Paris, Dec. A-As a result Of confer ences between Premier Combes ana Mn ister of Justice valIe, complete arrange ments have been made for the reception oi the members of the Humbert family, now under arrest but the precauticn has been taken not to disclose what prison the fu- gitives will occupy or where they wilt be taken from the train as popular dem onstration is feared.
 The Government authorities are show ing great activity in preparing for the prosecution of the prisoners M. Hen nion, chief of detectives, who has gone to Madrid, Is accompanied by four civil guards, four police inspectors, and two of the best detectives in the service. I is expected they will occupy a special car with the prisoners, whose arrival is waited in Paris with intense interest The affair continues to be the universal tonic for discussion and even affects the Christ mas rejoicing. many of the holiday nov cities depicting phases in the famous case.
 One of these is a miniature Humbert safe, as empty as that which induced bankers and others to lend millions to the Humberts. The nature of the legal proceedings has not yet been definitely settled. The statement in the extradition papers that the accused are charged with swindiing and irregular bankruptcy pro- ceedings gives general idea of the lines 0. the prosecution. The creditors are chiefly interested in rescuing the rem nant of their assets and plans are on foot for meeting of the creditors with 2 view to arranging an equitable division.
 The arrest of Mme. Delazza, the friend of Romain dAurignac, at Buenos Ayres was part of the Governments energetic plans to apprehend the fugftves.

Uncas and the lighthouse tender Laurei. was continued today.
 A case of wtiskey, addressed to Cap tain Andrew Dunlap, commandant of tho naval station here, which bore marks showing that it had come from St. Thom- as, was introduced as evidence.

NO WORD FROM DIEHL.
Believed He Can Take Care of Him
 self, However.

Washington, Dec. 24-The Navy De, partment up to noon today has received no word from Commander Diehl of the Marietta concerning his reported protest against the action of the blockading squadron at Caracas in refusing to allow Red ID" liner Caracas to remain in the harbor yesterday long enough to dis" charge her cargo No request fore in structions has come from him. The offi- ciaIs of the department have entire con- fidence in Commander Diehl to handle the situation and unless they hear some tbinR from him in the shape of protest against the allies they will make no move. As a rule 1t is agreed that blockadins fleet can 60 pretty much IS it likes. It is intimated as possible reason for tie position taken by the allies in declining to allow the Caracas to remain in the harbor at night that in the dark 1t will be difficult to exercise surveillance over what was being taken out Of her hold. For the same reasons the allies may have decided that she should, not return to the harbor today, but should take on her passengers outside.

Will March on Carcacas After Ex-

 wiIleanstad, Island of Curacoa. Dec. "A. -(By Boat from La Guayra.) )-The revo- futionists, strengthened by the impossi- bility of the government suppressing the smuggling of arms and ammunition into the country and by the fact that it has no longer any fleet at its disposal, have made answer to President Castro's propo- sition that they turn their arms against the foreigners who have attacked Vene- zusla by referring him to General Matas. their only chief capable of dealing with the matter. The rebels have regained courage. The government, which signed with them an armistice of ten days. which ends tomorrow. has 26Oo men at Baraauisimeto and 250o near Caracas, but all others who had enrolled themselves to fight against the foreigners have re- tired.
 The revoluttonists have planned an a march on Caracas by three roads; the leaders, Ramos Antonio Guevara, Urban eta and Penaloza, with 2.5O0 men. will march via Guatire; Antonio Fernandez Oslo and Crespo Torres, with 2,5o0 more, have left Camanagua, and General Ro- lando. with 2.5oo troops, will go from Alta Gracia Ammunition is expected to arrive every day near TuccacuA
 The situation for President Castro Is considered to be again perflous. Attacked by foreigners and his own countrymen he can with difficulty resist the shocks, as the government resources have van ished- The Presidents departure for La Victoria Is for the purpose of trying to check the near advance to the capital oi the revoluttonists.
