TRAIN GOES IN. CREEK
WRECK ON THE ALABAMA
 GREAT SOUTHERN.
Express Messenger Coleson of Chattanooga is Missing and It
 is Believed He Lost His Life in the Accident.

Tuscaloosa, Dec. 16.-(Special. .)-The southbound Alabama Great Southern train No. 1, which was due here at u:S7 last evening, was wrecked sixteen miles south of this place, near Moundville. Express Messenger Coleson of Chatta- nooga, is missing. It is thought that he is under the express car. which lies at the bottom of the creek.
 Two clerks and four passengers were injured, though not dangerously so.
 The accident occurred about 3 o'clock this morning. The train left this station three hours late. and was travelling at a rapid speed to make up lost time when the accident occurred. The engine had just reached the far side of the trestle when the entire train save the engine and the rear Pullman sleeper was landed at the bottom of the creek, swollen by the recent rains.
 The cause of the wreck is not known, but 1t is claimed that one of the rails had been removed. Upon examination, 1t was found that bolts had been tempered with only a short distance from where the wreck occurred.
 There were a large number of passen- gers on the train. and it is a miracle that 90 many escaped uninjured. as it was one of the most complete wrecks that has eyer occurred in this section. relief train with several physicians was sent from here a short while after the acci- dent occurred.
 It is not thought that traffic will be interferred with as all mails and pas sensers will be transferred both north and south.

MARRIED IN GEORGIA.
MT. and Mrs. Reese Could Not Await
 Judge Kelly's Time Limit,

VuuSo A0lAy 4Auo 4lIu4t.
 Roanoke, Dec. 16.-(Special.)-T Town of Roanoke is party to a romantic episode of unusually interest.
 Some months ago Mrs. Agnes Long came to Roanoke to make her home with her sister. the wife of the superintendent of the electric light and waterworks plant. It was learned that Mrs. Long 8 husband had mysteriously disappeared a few years ago from their former home in Dothan in a short while after their marriage.
 Upon coming here Mrs. Long secured the services of lawyer and began pro- ceedings in chancery for a divorce. It was expected that this would be secured at the regular term of the chancery court in this county In November. but as fate would have 1t, Chancellor R. B. Kelly saw fit to postpone the session till the ninth of the present month. At that time the matter was taken up. and the chancellor granted the divorce, but de- creed that the plaintiff should not be at liberty to marry until the expiration of a year from that date.
 Meanwhile preparations had been made for the marriage of Mrs. Long to B. A. Reese of LaGrange, Ga. in this city December 17th. Naturally enough the action of the court produced a sensation and bitter disappointment to those most interested. Upon learning the decision of the court. MT. Reese at once instituted investigations in his own State and was informed that the marriage could be legally celebrated in Georgia. Conse- quently he came to Roanoke Saturday, and after talking over the matter. i'm mediate action was decided upon. Ac- cordingly Mir. Reese and Mrs. Long hied nopa Aarly train and were duly married in LaGrange yesterday afternoon. thus bringing the affair to a continuation two days earlier than 1t would have occurred had it not been for the prohibitory attachment to Chancellor Kelly's decree.

WERE NOT so BAD.
Sheriff Has Easy Time Handling
 Riotous Negroes,

Evergreen. Dec. Especial. )-Great excitement was caused here today when a telegram was received by Sheriff Prid- gen to meet the train due here at 1:2S p. m. and arrest a gang of drunken negroes from the turpentine disttlleries of North Carolina. who were aboard, riot ing and frightening the passengers. It was soon noised about what was up and the town turned out en masse with re- volvers and shot guns to assist Sheriff Pridgen and his deputies. On the ar rival of the train the gang were soon bagged, however, without much resist ance, but not before the frightened pas sengers were seen out scurrying around to keep out of danger.
 The affair was more amusing than seri- ons.

SERMON TO STUDENTS.
Rev. MT. Anderson Addresses Marion
 Military Institute.


 Marion. Dec. 16.-(special.)-Rev. Neal L. Anderson. pastor of the Central Pres byterian Church of Montgomery. deliver ed last evening in the chapel of the Marion Military Institute an earnest ser mon to the cadets and to the young ladies of the Judson and the Seminary. The subject of the sermon was The Way of Eternal Life," as presented by Jesus to the rich young man: Mark x, 17-22 With eloquent earnestness the distin- guished preacher unfolded the full mean ing of the great teacher: how Jesus es- teemed the just possession and use of riches. of civic and social position, and of character; and yet how clearly Jesus taught that none nor all of these could merit eternal life. The things of the world were wisely appraised for their power for good in the life of the world; but the theme of the eloquent appeal was the inefficiency of these things to quicken or nourish the life of the spirit.
 It has rarely been the privilege of the people of Marion to hear a sermon of so much eloquent earnestness and holy zeal. Its power for good in the life of the young men and the young women who heard 1t Is inestimable. The truths and ideals 1t presented should justly be the chief part of the education of our youth The Bible should be less a book of our churches and more a book of our schools; and the teachings of Jesus should con- stitute the fundamental and essential part of all education. To bring this to pass is the praiseworthy purpose of these institute sermons. Eminent ministers from every denomination are invited to present to the students the place and part of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus In education and in life. It is hoped these sermons will be published for the permanent possession of the young men and young women of the schools, and of | the State.
 Rev. Edgar Murphy and Rev. Neal L. | Anderson have made an suspicious begin | ming in this great movement, and their services here for the cause of education | and Christianity have been great indeed

Rev. W. P. Hurts Return.

Methodists of Selma and the general public as well are gratified over the re- turn of Rev. W. P. Hurt to Selma as pas- tor Of the Church Street Church of this city for two years. This is the beginning of his third year and he is so very pop- uiar with the church which he as served so faithfully that it was the unanimous wish of the congregation that he be sent back. It is more than likely that MT. Hurt will serve out the full four years ne IS allowed to remain at a church be- fore his people will be willing to give up his valuable services.
 The Church Street Church of Selma never had more popular pastor than MT Hurt and the entire city of Selma Is rejoicing with the church that he has been sent back During his pastorate the handsome new S26,000 church edifice ha as been completed, which is not only a credit to the city but an honor to Methodism throughout the State.
