No. % on the Pennsylvania railroad,
known as the PENNSYLVANIA Flyer"
the new 1S-hour train between Chicago
and New York, met with an accident
today a mile west Of Port Royal,
which, fortunately did not result Sc
riOusly.
A westbound freight nearing Port
Royal tried to stop suddenly and the
engineer made too violent application
of air, the consequence was that car
buckled and was thrown over to track
No. ON which the flyer was speeding
east An attempt was made to flag
trains in front and in the rear of the
wreck, but the break occurred almost
simultaneously with the arrival of the
flyer and the train plunged into the
wreck The momentum threw the
wrecked car from the track, but the
flyer did not jump the rails. Engineer

saw the obstruction on the track,

only one injured on the train. Fire
man Garman brought the train to a

DR.. Roulde and His Compatrso,s I'm.
Dignantly Spurn the Amnesty Offer
cd by President Loubet.

Paris, July 15.-The amnesty pro-
claimed by President Loubet Friday,
whirh permits the return to France o.
Paul de Roulde and others condemned
to exile for sedition by the high court
has awakened somewhat OF a serio.
comic agitation in which the whole
country is interested De Roulde aud
his compatriots Indignantly spurned
amnesty in the form of q pardon
claiming that 1t placed them in the
same category with pardoned crimina ais,
and De Roulde has informed his friends
OF his intention to go to Austria until
his country's peril urgently requires his
presence here.
De Roulds is sort of Boulanger and
has large popular following which
seriously believes that he sooner CT
later will rescue France from her pres
ent condition. Therefore his pronunc-
iamento haughtily refusing to return
until the opportune moment arrives at
tracts widespread attention.
De Roulde puts forward a program
calculated to win the public, his main
policy being resistance Of the en-
croachments of Germany and condem .
nation of the governments course in
permitting Germany to force the retire
ment of Foreign Minister Delcasse.
Count de Lur Saluces and Andre Buff
fet, fellow exiles with De Roulde, have
returned to Paris. Each, however
maintained the opera bouffe aspect by
addressing to President LOubet an in
sulting telegram disdaining pardon and
saying that they returned in spite
of the executive clemency. The govern
ment thus far has ignored the tactics
Of the former exiles, apparently not
considering serious their popular ap-
peals or their intimations that they
will arouse new agitation against the
existing regime

Birmingham, Ala, July 15.-L. d.
Burr, paymaster of the Sioss-Sheffield
Steel and Iron Company, was held up
by two masked highwaymen this after
noon on the railroad between Littleton

Less than five minutes afterwards
Detective George Bodeker, Policeman
Joe Nix and Charles Pickard, a Flat
Top guard, had shot and killed one of
money. The other robber effected his
escape.
Some time ago Vice President j. w.
Mcqueen, of the Sloss-Sheffield Com
rany, learned that an effort would be
made to hold up the paymaster. Sew
eral days ago Mr.. Mcqueen learned
further of the plans of the robbers and
that they intended executing their ed
sign today. With that information,
Frank H. GaffOrd, mine superintend-
ent, requested the police department to
detail officers to work on the case. Two
officers left the city today and spent
the entire morning watching the river
bank of the Little Warrior.
1t was by this means that the Off
GERS were able to be on the scene al
most Immediately after the robbery
occurred. When confronted one of the
highwamen offered resistance and was
killed while the other made his escape.
The money was recovered from the
man killed. Highway robbery is a cap
