INTO A SPLIT SWITCH

 FUNIAK, FLA.
l.. and N. OmciaIs Conducting an In- vestigation in an Endeavor to Fix the Blame-Pensacoia
 Gamblers Fined.

Pensacola Fla. Sept 16.--(Special.)-- Some thoughtless railroad employe or some individual maliciously inclined came near creating trouble for fast train No. at DeFuniak, station eighty miles east of Pensacola, Thurs day night. As 1t was the engine had to be replaced by another and the train. which is due here at 10:50 o'clock at night. arrived in the early hours this morning.
 as a supper stop. and the engine was sually slow rate of speed. Just as the frog of a switch was struck, the en- zine trucks dashed off into the switch which had been opened, and in another second the locomotive with a string of cars following crashed into a flat car which had been left standing on the tracks. There was not person on board who did not feel the shock from the heavy impact.
 dispatch to the headquarters here was responded to quickly, and an en- zine was sent from the round house. The train reached here at 12:50 o'clock this morning and the damage to the locomotive was then ascertained. It was thought the cost of repairs will be near the thousand dollar mark.
 At any rate an investigation has been ordered. It was lucky that the train was on schedule time and had moments to spare. Had the train been behind time there would have been a greater rate of speed maintained and the dam age would have been large.

MEMPHIS'S EASY THING
WEIGH HIT EFFECTIVELY BUT NOT HARD.
Herr Holds the Montgomery Bnttern Safe and Not Until the Final In-
 ming Does a Man Reach %. Third Base.

Memphis Tenn. Sept. 16-(Special) Memphis had a gallop today Welch, from the South Atlantic. was in the box for the visitors and while the score shows he was not hit hard, nev- srtheless the singles came at the right time. In addition he was very un- steady. three of his bases on balls re- suited in runs, and two of the three errors made by Montgomery contribu- .ed to the Memphis score. Welch is another of the kiskadee. crop of twirl- CTS which seems to regard as the quin- tessence of class pitching an ability to throw thirteen out of fourteen curved balls. It required the Memphians d couple of innings to get the gauge of the curves, but when they did SD MT. Welch had a merry time.
 Montgomery played unsteady ball throughout. Herr pitched a heady game and not until the final inning did a man reach third base. The game was slow and tiresome. the only fea- lures being a running each of a line drive by Dungan and the catch of l foul fly against the stand by Womble. who took the ball back of the player ; bench.
 A double header will be played to- morrow. Brandt and Hale will be the pitchers for the Montgomerians.

PensacoIa Cargo in Danger.

From the dispatches giving reasons for the presence of several Russian naval vessels in the Pacific, 1t Is the opinion that the cargo of the German ship Frieda. which left this city last week for Japan. Is in danger of seizure or at least that the ship is in danger of being stopped and searched for con- traband of war.
 Well-informed sea men who have been following the course of the war with more than ordinary interest. make the point that there was no little sus- picion attached to the sailing of the Frieda and cite reports which had been circulated relative to the cargo of the vessel. Several days previous to her departure. rumor had it that the Frieda carried more than single submarine boat for the Japanese Government but the custom house records fall to sub stantiate this. The report Is thought to have found its way to the Russian embassy in the United States. and later transmitted to the home government at St. Petersburg
