 Believed to Be Robbery.
OCCURRED ON THE L. 6 N.

Montgomery, April 1.-(Special. )-Pas- senger train No. which left Montgom- cry over the Louisville and Nashville road for New Orleans at Il o'clock last night was wrecked at Sparta and it is suspect ed that a rail had been taken from the track by persons with robbery in view While the train was considerably dam aged, several cars leaving the track, none of the passengers were seriously hurt.
 Sparta Is about eighty-five miles south of Montgomery, and news of the wreck did not reach this city until early this morning when a wrecking crew and phy- sicians left for the scene.
 An examination of the track after the wreck shows that the wreck was due to the fact that rails had been disjointed and the end of one nailed firmly down on the cross ties, the work evidently of some person or persons whose purpose was to wreck the train. Blood hounds were at once secured at Fort Deposit where they are kept by the railroad com pany, and carried to the scene of the wreck The hounds soon took up the trail and at last accounts were in hot pursuit of the supposed guilty persons. It Is be- lieved they will be caught
 Is Down Grade.
 It is said that the place of the wreck is down grade, and that the cars were going very fast, probably forty miles an hour, when they were thrown from the track. It is said that at this or near this point an effort was made to wreck a passenger train some time since. It Is understood that the railroad authorities have been on the outlook for train wreck CTS in that section, but 1t Is not known that they had any reason to suspect any one
 A telegram from the scene of the wreck says that the pony truck of the engine is off the track; express car staid on the track and was not damaged; one truck of baggage car off also, but not damaged; smoking car off track and slightly dam aged; ladies car jumped the track and slightly turned over on east side of the track; clear of the roadbed; the front end of the fourth sleeper jumped the track and went into a ditch; one truck on the tourist car went off the track. but car was not damaged. The Pensacola sleeper remained on the track and was uninjured, as were the passengers.

When the barometer falls, the air
around expands into larger volume
and the air inside the cupboard also
EXPANDS and forces itself out at every
minute crevice. When the barometer
rises again, the air inside the cupboard,
as well as outside, condenses ana
shrinks and the air Is forced back into
the cupboard to equallze the pressure
and along with the air in goes the dust
The smaller the crevice, the stronger
the iet of air, the farther goes the dirt

Of the body and that early symptoms
Of advancing diseases give a particular
