NEGRO BABY HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE
ENTIRE FREIGHT TRAIN PASSED OVER HIM AND HE SUFFERED THE LOSS OF ONE TOE ONLY. OTHER SELMA NEWS.

Selma, May 11.-(speciaL) )-At Rlverville about twenty-five miles from Selma up the Southern railway, a few days ago a negro child about 1S-months-old had a miraculous escape from death. The child's mother, whose cabin Is along side the railroad, had gone across the track to a spring to get some water. The child which was toddling around the yard followed her, and just as he got on the track an engine of freight train No. 65, pushing nine cars back to the caboose, after switching reached the spot. The boy was knocked down by the brake beam of the first car and all nine cars passed above his body before the frantic cries of the mother, who was returning from the spring and saw the child. could signal the engineer to stop. When the young ster was pulled out from between the last car and the tender of the engine he had only his big toe cut off and a few bruises. He got up between the trucks under each car and the brake beams would knock him down again.

Any honest person who suffers from Rheumatism is welcome to this offer.
 I am a specialist in Rheumatism. and have treated more cases than any other physician, 1 think. For 16 years l made 2000 experiments with different drugs, testing all known remedies while search ing the world for something better. Nine years ago I found a costly chemical in Germany which. with my previous discov- cries. gives me a certain cure.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. March THE stock market
was thrown into a condition OF demorali-
zation today by the disclosure Of the
fact hat the surplus reserves of the
clearing house banks, were practically
wiped out. Excluding government de-
posts this item is now $685. $50, compared
with $3,958, 425 at this time last year,
and $40, III, PTS two years ago. The Sc
we're loss in cash reserves was ABOUT as
much above the preliminary estimates as
last weeks loss was below it, thus dis
closing the rectiication by the average
system of computation of last week 5
discrepancy. The $40, 900, 900 loan con-
traction fulfilled the expectations that
the stock market liquidation of the week,
and the shifting of loans to foreign
money markets would be reflected in
that item. but the loan contraction must
have been near $50, 900, 900 to keep pace
with the rate of depletion of cash re-
serves. No reader of the bank state
nent could be left in doubt that further
calling of leans would have to be re-
sorted to by the banks next week and
operators threw over stocks IN all dl-
rections to prepare for this emergency.
Some futile efforts were made to check
the decline by supporting orders, but
these proved too fimsy for the purpose,
and prices broke through violently to the
lowest of the week. Prices were crump-
ling dangerously when the market closed
at about the lowest and on very active
dealings. Fierce raiding tactics by the
bears were a factor in the slump. Inc
sneculative contest in Union was made
evident by the extreme break OF ia IN
that stock. Losses in st. Paul, C~anadla

neared to be the sole factor in the

s. A. L. After Memphis Business.
(The Common Carrier.)

The Seaboard Air Line Railway will
be an important factor in the Memphis
territory before this year is past, through
the developments now in progress be-
tween Atlanta and Birmingham. With
the construction of the two necessary
links between Atlanta and CedartoWn.
Ca, and between Pell City and Biz
nlingham, Ala, the Seaboard, with its
late purchase of the East and West Rail-
road, will have a line into Birmingham
that will practically mean another trunk
line from Memphis to the Atlantic sea-
board and the Eastern cities. 1t was
conceded several months ago in railroad
circles that the Frisco system and the
Seaboard Air Line had perfected traffic
arrangements at Birmingham, to become
effective with the opening of the Sea-
boards extension, whereby the frisco
would get an Eastern outlet and the
Seaboard get into the West and South
west.
Already the Seaboard is preparing to
invade the Memphi territory for the
control of some of the through passen-
ger and freight traffic. This is being
done by sending travelling passenger and
freight representatives to this territory
to work for business heretofore not So
licitcd. These representatives are now
advertising the Seaboard, SO that when
it begins operations to Birmingham it
will, in a measure, have a patronage al
ready established.
Further developments are anticipated
from the Seaboard during the year. The
purchase in January OF the birmingham
and Atlantic Railroad by the Seaboard.
shows that the Seaboard proposes to &C
complish more in and around Birming-
ham than has been made public. Having
contracted with the Frisco for the use
of the latters terminals in Birmingham,
the relations between the two big sys-
TENS are all the more closely allied.
A report has been current in the past
month that the Seaboard is after the
Chattanooga Southern Railroad operat-
ing between Chattanooga and Gadsden.
Ala, ninety-two miles, and that the
