NEW L. & N. OFFICE.
IT IS BELIEVED ONE WILL BE
 ESTABLISHED HERE.
Uptown Ticket Office With Solicit ing Passenger Agent in Charge Will, Railroad Circles Think,
 Be Created in Montgomery.

s
 While no official announcement has been made, it is generally believed in railroad circles that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad will establish an up town ticket office in Montgomery with a soliciting passenger agent in charge, and that within the next thirty days.
 The official announcement of the step will come from the office of General Pas senser Agent c. L. Stone. in Louisville. No predictions as to the probable ap- pointment of the Soliciting Passenger Agent have been made.
 There was some discussion of new ticket office and a Soliciting Passenger Agercy during the last visit of Traveling Passenger Agent w. l.. Beasierftp Mont gomery, but no definite informatioR'k*tas s given out.
 The proposed move on the part of the officials of the Louisville and Nashville has been expected to some extent for two months, since the Seaboard Air Line establis he'd an up town office. The pas senger business of the road has been growing and an increase of ticket office facilities is demanded by the present volume of business.
 The up town office, if it is established will be bureau of information for the Louisville and will give the road an op- portunity of meeting the competition of otler roads having up town ticket offices and soliciting passenger agents

 Selma. June 24,

AdvertiSer Bureau,
 Selma. June 24. Yesterday evening after sundown, while the Dallas Light Dragons were at Elk dale Park drilling. the horse ridden by Crawford Bates was struck by an cleo trio car and so badly injured that the suffering animal was shot by order of Captain V. B. Atkins. While the troop was crossing the track at brisk trot the horse ridden by Captain Atkins fell and caught him under the saddle and 1t took some minutes to get Captain Atkins from under the horse. This caused the entire command to halt. and MT. Bates seeing street car coming galioped back a few hundred feet in order to warn the motorman of the accident to the com. mander of the company. so that he would not run into the column.
 Just before the car came up to MT. Bates, the horse he was riding got scared. Just as the car got nearly opposite Mir. Bates, the horse whirled in front of the car. Mir. Bates seeing that he could not manage the horse. jumped of and by doing so probably saved his life. The motorman did all in his power to check the car but could not do so. The horse was struck with terrific force. 1t beirg knocked down and rolled for some dis tance before the car.
 The animals back was broken and 1t was otherwise bruised and mangled. and as soon as Captain Atkins saw how the horse was suffering he ordered platoon of his men to disnount and shoot It. The horse belonged to R. H. Kennedy and cost him s1o5. and Captain Atkins gave him check on the companys funds for that amount this morning.
