ule has been issued. Hereafter express

Moscow to Nladivostok, $11946 and
$f49O; Moscow to Port Arthur $134.05

CAR OF STAG ESCAPED.
Comes Down Into City of Ell Paso
Like a Thunderbolt.

Ell Paso. Tex, July 2S-Yesterday
morning a car of Stag got away at the
Federal smelter and started on a wild
run toward this city. At the crossing
of the G. H. and the Rock Island it
tore through the big gate maintained
there and reduced the same to splin-
tiers. Luckily there was nothing else
in its course until it ran into the Rock
Island yards where it collided with five
cars standing in the track which, by the
force of the collision, were showed for
ward several hundred feet. The col
lision had the effect of stopping the
runaway car near the Rock Island
freight depot.

NAV Revert to old method.

Speaking of returning to previous prac-
tice, says the Railway Review, the super
iDtendent of motive power of a very
prominent line is seriously considering a
drop back to $50 pounds boiler pressure on
an order of new locomotives for bad wa
ter districts This will mean large cylin-
ders to make up for the drop in pressure,
but it also means less steam pressure
tending to produce leaks. and since there
is no such thing as economy with leaky
boiler. the difference in economy obtain
of minor moment The question is not yet
decided upon but the fact is interesting as
indicating a reversal of sentiment in some
vicinities.

TROLLEYS ID RUN ID BESSEMER SOON A Vladuct to be Built Over
 Tracks
 h THE LINE FOR GLEN IRIS Work VIII Begin as Soon as construc- ton Force Can Be Spared From Other Llnes-Route n
 Mapped Out. I

The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company now intends to build viaduct over the railroad tracks at Besse- mer for the new electric line which will connect that city with Birmingham.
 There are seventeen tracks just east of Bessemer which the dummy crosses at present, and which the electric cars will have to cross later. and the company be- lieves viaduet will save great deal of time and in the end will be economical.
 It Is thought now that unless bad weather shall interfere. electric cars will run into Bessemer within thirty days. It will probably be nearly sixty days how ever before a satisfactory schedule Is arranged.
 The trolley wire has been strung to the outskirts of Bessemer and there is less than two miles of track to be laid A large force Is kept at work all the time, Feed wires for the trolley are now being strung from Fairview to Bessemer.
 No work has yet been done on the pro- posed line to Glen Iris park. It will be begun as soon as the workmen can be spared from the construction already in progress.
 The new line will utilize the track on Avenue B, between Twentieth and Twen- ty-second streets after crossing the via duct. Cars will then proceed on the Highland loop tracks along Avenues and c to Fifteenth street. then up Eff teenth street to Avenue H. The company has tracks already laid to this point. New tracks will be built along Avenue II to Montgomery street and then south along Montgomery street to Fourteenth avenue South. ending between Highland park and Glen Iris
 The company Is especially desirous to get the construction work done in the heart of the city so that there will be no interference to traffic in that sec tion.

TALLApEeA oRPHANAeE.
Appeal for Funds Vnh Which to Re-
 pair Fire Damaae.

That part of the orphanage at Tallade- ga which was destroyed by fire will be rebuilt. As the institution is one of the worthiest in Alabama the following ap- peal from the manager will be read with interest,"
 Last Thursday morning fire was dis covered in our laundry, and for awhile 1t seemed as though no human power could save any of our buildings The laundry was two-story frame building with large sewing room upstairs where the weeks wash had been sent for mend- ing. Nothing was saved here except two sewing machines the steam laundry out fit being entirely ruined. The flames then seized the girls bath house, and then storeroom containing large amount of provisions. With a strong wind blowing directly toward the large brick building occupied by the superintendents family and forty-one girls, the destruction of the entire home seemed inevitable; but the blessing of God upon the heroic efforts of the firemen and citizens availed at last, and the fire was confined to the frame buildings. The loss will amount to quite $2000
 When the seventy children saw that their only earthly home, which had shelt- cred them so long, was about to be de- stroyed the most heart-rending scenes oecurred-not one was injured We are particularly thankful that the fire oc- cured in the day, and that no panic en- sued.
 Now, friends, we must patiently and cheerfully go to work to rebuild. We ask your immediate help. Funds will be needed at once to replace the clothing and provisions destroyed, and to rebuild. Profiting by this sad experience, nothing but brick will be used in the future. The insurance companies had cancelled our policies on these buildings, owing to the extra risk of the laundry. The damage to the girls dormitory will be several hundred dollars, and is covered by in- surance.
 May we not appeal to the public to help make good this loss? This home is in no sense sectarian. While founded and supported by the Presbyterians of Ala bama, very few of the children come from Presbyterian families. Many of them are waifs, homeless and friendless. The home is open to all. We therefore ask kindhearted people everywhere to help us In this emergency. Remit to J. B. McMillan, treasurer, Talladega, Ala. Bir- mingham friends may leave their gifts with MT. w w. Crawford at the First National bank, or with MT. F. w. Dixon, Hood building.

Jack Prince Unable to Negotiate
 Deal for Property
WILL RETURN WEDNESDAY,
He Has His Eye on Several Suitable Sites and Will Try to Get One. Will Use His Own
 Money.

Jack Prince has been unable thus far to secure a location for the bicycle coll scum which he will build in Birmingham: For the past two days he has been all over this vicinity with real estate men trying to get a piece of property well located and convenient to the street car line. and has found several but each time there was some condition tied to 1t which made a deal impossible.
 Yesterday afternoon Prince returned to Atlanta to arrange for some races to be pulled off there and in Savannah, but he will come back to Birmingham Wednes- day and renew his search for site. He has several locations in view One of those may be purchased if the property can be secured at a reasonable rate.
 Conditions.
 To be suitable the lot must be on a street car line, and If close to a second line it will be that much better. It must not be too far from the city, and If pos sible inside the city limits.
 MT. Prince requires lot about 21oxs2o feet which will allow the erection of a coliseum containing an eight-lap track and capable of seating about coco people.
 Jack went to the old fairgrounds yes terday to see if they would be suitable. He likes that place. and will probablg use it if he cannot secure a better place. There are several locations on the new EnsIey car line which are closer to the city than the fair grounds, and which are well suited. He hopes to close a deal when he returns Wednesday.
 His Own Enterprise.
 Before leaving the city yesterday Jack said that he proposed erecting the track himself, and after racing has proven sue cessful he might sell some of the stock to local people He stated that his idea in building the track with his own money is to show the people of Birmingham that he believes in their city, and that he IS willing to risk his own cash without ask ing any aid here. He thinks that after he shows them that the game will pay here that he can then easily sell DOT tion of the stock. Building the track him self will also give him complete control of it, and he can lease or rent it as he chooses.
 Jack states that the coliseum will cost in the neighborhood of 5000 and that it will be the best he has built In the south, and will be in good condition for the next ten years. It will be so arranged that it can be used for twenty or thirty different kinds of innocent sports, and also for horse show.
