Our Roads Astonish Foreigners.

The development of passenger trans portation in the United States astonishes all foreigners, Edwin A. Pratt, a repre- sentative of The London Times, was making some investigations yesterday at the Grand Central Station with a view to writing a comprehensive article on American railroads. His inquiries devel- oped the fact that the New York Central has eight passenger trains day between New York and Chicago, and when he learned that the distance is 980 miles, he remarked that 1t Is a marvellous thing. He was still further astonished to find that four of the eight trains make the 9SO miles in twentyfour hours, and that one. the Twentieth Century Limited, goes the distance every day, in either direc. ton. in twenty hours. His amazement grew when he was informed that the westbound Twentieth Century Limited carries only Chicago passengers, and will not take passenger for any other point. He remarked that his people would be equally astounded on learning these facts. From On the Tip of the Tongue" Col umn in The New York Press. adv.

DECREE IS MODIFIED
LovEJoY CLAIMS VICTORY FOR
 HIS COMPANY.
The Case Of the Board of Trustees of the State University Against
 F. M. Hogg, J. E. Jones, and A. L. Jones.

Birmingham, Sept. 1.-(Special.)-A de- cree was rendered yesterday by Judge c. w. Ferguson in the City Court of sBir- mingham, modifying the former decree in the matter of the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama against F. M. Hogg. J. E. Jones and A. l.. Jones, which again brings the Warrior River Coal and Land Company Into public mo- tice.
 The modified decree enjoins the defend- ants from cutting. saving or hauling timber from the land which is averred in the petition to be the property of tho complainants.
 G. M. Lovejoy, President of the War; rior River Coal and Land Company, this morning claimed this as a victory for his company. He said that the raising of the bond of the University from 2o0 to $4,000 is quite a score for them, and goes to indicate that their title Is much clearer than was at first thought. He further says this property was bought from Mitch Thompson, who had lived on ic for twenty-seven years. The company then sold the timber on the land to F NJ. Hogg. who has been operating the sawmill and cutting timber on 1t since the sale.
 The University enjoined Mir Hogg from using this timber and the sawmill which has been shut down for two months, be. gan operations again this morning. As the courts released all but the particu lar forty acres on which the sawmill is located, MT. Hogg is cutting timber from the outside of this forty acres now.

 Was Killed.
