BAD WRECK ON SOUTHERN

 Facilities to the City.

Selma, NOYemDeT J.-NOpOSAol'i | Through the clouds that have op pressed the democrats of Selma today has come one single ray and that IS the result in Alabama. Chairman Mallory has received telegrams from all counties In the state where there was opposition except four and there seems to be possibly that number oi the sixty-seven counties which have failed to elect their county ticket, , though he does not concede this, but not having heard positively, is not Tn position to say. These four counties are Shelby, Chiffon, St. Clair and Winston, and it would not surprise him to hear that certainly two of these and perhaps three had also gone dem- ocratic.
 Congressman Burnett wired him this morning: T am elected by from 1900 to 2000 majority
 s. J. Griffin, chairman of the cam- paign committee in Cullman county, and who has waged splendid cam paign, telegraphed: "Cullman safe. All the county ticket elected. Burnett carried the county by 40O."
 J. W. Jackson, chairman of the county committee of Clay county, tel egraphed: Clay goes democratic from 300 to 400 majority"
 J. V. Musgroye, chairman of the Blount county committee, telegraphed "Blount county goes democratic by a good majority" and G. W. Darden, the elector from the Ninth district wired; Indications are that Blount will go democratic by about 200."
 gratifying telegram came from C. G. Fennell, chairman of the campaign committee of Marshall county, in which he said: "I present you Marshall county reunited and redeemed"
 During the campaign more speeches and harder work was done by Gen. w. w Brandon than any of the very excellent speaking corps the committee had out But the reports from all of the speak CTS efforts are most gratifying to MT Mallory, and his secretary, MT. Mel who had charge of this feature of the campaign.
 c. w. Pratt telegraphs: "St. Clair dem- ocratic by 100 to 200 majority"
 Tyston Mullins wires from Chiffon Parker and Bowie carry county. Caller for treasurer elected. Will take officia vote to determine rest of ticket.'
 Judge Richardson teegraphed ant claimed district from 5000 to SOOO

 Increased Railroad Facilities.
 General Superintendent M. M Riche. of the western district of the Southeri railway, was in Selma yesterday and wa seen shortly before his departure by Tn Age-Herald's representative. MT. Ricne. stated that the purpose of his visit | Selma was to give to Division Superin tendent Eagan better and improved ia cilities for handling the business of tn road, which had doubled at this point dur ing the past two or three years
 He has lately given to this division fiv big freight engines and proposes to sen and possibly two big passenger engine here inside of thirty days Two nor switch engines will also be sent here Another track is to be put in the nortl Selma yard and the scales located ther instead of down in the city yard. Thi latter will have a great deal of tim and allow the locating of the cars soone thereby enabling merchants to get thei freight quicker.
 The biggest improvement contemplat ed however is the establishment of through yard somewhere near the cit. so that through cars will not have t. come down into the city. Several loca tions for this yard were looked at yes terday by MT. 3ichey but as it will b impossible to lay the tracks and hav' them in readiness for this seasons bus mess there will be no hurry about it. Th' yards will be arranged to accommodate from 300 to 1000 cars.
