 Wild Rumors Current.
 Wild rumors about a number of people killed and injured were circulated. The number dead, according to the reports, went as high as 125 and the rumors said that the entire train had turned over.
 As matter of fact none of the coaches turned over The train consisted of nine cars, mail car, a baggage car, an ex- press car. two day coaches, three Pullman sleepers and the dining car. None Of the cars were much damaged The engine was not damaged at all and the damage to the tender was slight.
 Engineer Lee McClain was in charge of the train and escaped injury. He stuck to the engine and put on the emergency brakes, which tended to lessen the extent of the accident The conductor in charge was James A. Stone. The train left Bir- ming'ham at 5:45 o'clock and was running on time It was making about forty miles an hour when the accident occurred. The accident happened on straight stretch of track on level ground. When the injured were brought to the city the ambulances of Lige Loy, Green & Co.,, E. T. Shaw & Son and the Gaudin company were used to carry them to the infirmary.
 Dr. Copeland stated last night that the wreck looked pretty bad when the relief train arrived and it seemed rather mar velous that more people were not serious ly injured.

He said: "When I heard that peculiar noise be- hind me I turned and saw the tender jump the tracks and the front trucks of the baggage car leave the tracks at the same time. l don't know which jumped first l broke the air connection, which set the brake. Just then my engine tln nf frltl
