BAD WRECK
On Southern Railway. John
Outlaw, Negro Fireman
Killed. Engineer
Brown Injured.

Another bad wreck occurred
on the Southern railway last
Monday night, when west bound
freight train No 81 ran into an
extra freight at Pheba, and
as a result of which John Out
law, negro fireman, lost his life,
while Engineer John Brown was
seriously injured and Ed Trby, a
negro brakeman, also received
injuries which may prove fatal.
Mr.. Brown was brought to this
city and placed under the care of
DR.. John E. Davis. the local sur
geon of the Southern. His in
juries are of a serious and very
painful nature, both his lower
limbs having been terribly crush
ed and mangled in the wreck.
The wreck blocked the track
for several hours, and all traffic
was considerably delayed.

Mr.. John Evans, a planter liv-

exhibiting a handsome buggy
which his wife had received as a
premium from the National Ferti-
lizer Company for having raised
the largest number of pounds of
cotton on an acre of ground on
which the product of the COM
pany's plant had been used. Mrs.
Evans raised $50 pounds of cot
ton on single acre of ground,
and received the buggy, which is
a handsome and we'll built ve-

Mre. Evans has demonstrated
plainly what can be done on the
land contiguous to Columbus and

est and most fertile section of
America has again been exem-
plified.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency Of medical science Is TO-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given e
the subject 1t is easier and better tc
prevent than to cure. L has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one ot
the most dangerous diseases that medj-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
results from a cold or from an attack 81
influenza (grp), and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy c0unteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully prov
en- in many thousand cases IN which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip in re-
cent years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no dan
ger is apprehended until it is suddenly
discovered that there is fever and dim

tient has pneumonia. Be on the safe
side and take ChamberIain's Cough

UNPREPARED.
czar Nicholas Says the Russians
Were Totally unprepared .
Msxs6s AzzzAsss
- to Engage War
E~a
with Japan. -

The Car Of Russia has issued
! a proclamation in which he claims
that the fight with Japan was
thrust upon his country and that
the people are totally unprepared
for war. He counsels patience
on the part of his people and says
that the only thing that can be
done under the circumstances is
to wait.
It is said that an agent repre-
senting one of the foreign powers
has offered to sell Russia g small
battleship constructed in 1890,
two cruisers and two torpedo
catchers, but Russia hesitates in
accepting the offer on account of
the fact that the ships are old and
out Of date. The agent making
the offer asserts that if the ships
are not purchased by Russia that
they will be sold to Japan.
There exists in Russia feel
ing that the United States is un-
friendly to her, and the feeling
has been intensified by the act
ion of Secretary Hay in declar-
ing negotiations in connection
with his note to the powers on
the subject of the integrity Of
China closed without awaiting
a formal response from Russia.
The Japanese legation at Lon
don has received official inform
alton that the report that several I
Japanese war ships had been de-
was without foundation /
and on the contrary the entire
fleet remains intact. The report +
that the Japanese were also driv-
an from the neighborhood of Kin
Jhau after a skirmish in which
about 150 Japanese soldiers were
aiken prisoners has likewise been
denied.

at the time of her death was thirty
seven years of age, was a most
estimable Christian lady and was
greatly beloved by a large circle
of friends.

hood, and the remains were taken
to her old home for interment, the
funeral occurring at the Egger

MRS. w.B.PEEBLES DEAD

The death of Mrs. w. B. Pee
bles, which had been almost
momentarily expected for many
days past, occurred at her home
on South Second avenue a few
minutes before noon last Monday.
Mrs. PEBBLES had been i'll for
quite a while and for several
days past had been lowering be-
tween life and death, her spirit
having on several occasions
been at the very threshold of the
spirit land, and although the
physicians made a hard fight and
every remedy known to medical
science was applied their efforts
served only to temporarily pro-
long her life, and the Grim Reap
er finally claimed her as his own.
Deceased was the beloved wife
of Mr.. w. B. PEBBLES, who is one
of the wealthiest and most pro-
gressive citizens in this section,
controlling extensive business in
terests both in this city and in
Vienna, Ala, where he owns a
large plantation ard operates a
general store. He also owns the
steamer Vienna, which PHYS the
waters of the Tombigbee, and has
recently acquired a controlling
interest in the Gilmer hotel in
this city.
Mrs. PEBBLES was a woman of
noble character, devoted wife,
fond mother and faithful and
consistent Christian. She pos
sessed all the attributes which
make Southern women SO charm
ing and which serves to place
around them that sacred halo
which all true men revere and
respect. Besides her husband,
deceased leaves three children to
mour her loss, and to these and
other surviving relatives the
heartfelt sympathy of The Com
mercial is rendered.
The remains were taken to Vi
emma for interment, and the
friends of the family attested
their sorrow and sympathy by
sending many beautiful floral
tributes.

WOMAN BURNED
Hester Woods Clothes lgnited
and She was Burned to
Crisp Before Help
Arrived.

Hester Wood, an aged negress
who for a number of years past
has lived principally on the
bounty of the people and who
was a familiar figure on the
streets of the city. met a most
+ tragic end at her little home in
the northwestern part Of the city
last Monday morning. The old
woman lived alone in a little cabin
belonging to Constable John
Brrsher on North Seventh ave-
nue.. Shortly after nine O'Clock
Monday morning a negro named
Annanias McCloud was passing
in front of the houee and dis
covered that it was on fire. He
Immediately gave the alarm, and
when several of the neighbors
broke open the door and rushed
in they discovered the charred
remains of the old negress. .
Every spark of life had gone
from the body and the flesh had
been burned to a crisp. the
seorched and blackened bones 4
being the only things left 10 tell
the tale of the shocking incident.
From the position in which the
body was found tits supposed /.
that the old woman was sitting
peacefully before the fire when
her clothing was ignited from the
flames, and being Old and de-
crepit, she did not possess the f
to put them out.
The fire department responded +
promptly to the alarm which was
sent in, and the cabin was not
destroyed by the flames, only a /,
comparatively small hole being
burned in the floor just where the
I'D negress was sitting.
