 Railroad traffic officials were quite unanimous in reporting a volume of traffic which was fast absorbing the greatly ex- banded equipment facilities which have been added by all great railroad systems in the past few months. Grain has commenced to move freely except for some backwardness in the corn movements. and orders for all grades of merchandise arc reported to be on large scale based on the growing con- fidence in the crop out-turns The corn yrangers were relatively backward owing to the comparatively small movement of passed before its maturity, The action that was made Is due in mol o%smail part. how ever. to the maturing of the conviction that the countyy's grain crops are practically as- sured and that they will prove large.

Happened to an Accident.

Word of an accident which happened to U. T Keenan at Portland on Sat- urday was learned here today. MT. Keenan Is about S5 years old and all though 1t Is not thought that the in juries he received will prove serious his many friends fear for him on ac- count of his age.
 It seems that on Saturday Mir. Keen- an got on his horse and rode to the Alabama river landing on his place. He rode close up to the bank, which Is high bluff at that place, and leaned over from the back of his horse to look at tho river below. While lock- ing down at the water his horse from some cause shied and threw him off and he fell over the blum.
 If he had fallen to the water below he would never have lived to tell the tale, but after falling about six feet he caught hold of a small bush and managed to climb back to the top of the bluft He then got on his horse and rode home. where medical aid was summoned and the many bruises that he received were dressed. Whether any bones were broken in the fall could not be learned. but 1t is stated that the last heard from him he was resting easy.

Negro Joint Raided.

The negro pool room on Washington Street between Alabama Street and Hogan Alley. was raided today about l o'clock by Policemen Smith, Walker, Latham. Grimm. Logan and Barker. The result or the raid was that he officers gathered in fifteen negroes. against nine Of whom the charge of vagrancy was made. and they will appear in po- lice court tomorrow morning on that charge. Six of the fifteen arrested claimed 'hat they had employment and were discharged.
 This negro pool room has been a source of great worry to the police force, and today a crusade against the negro vagrants in the city was inaugu- rated. Most of the vagrants spend their time in this pool room, so 1t was de- clded to raid 1t and the raid will prob ably result in nine more hands being added to Capt. John Shannahan's street brigade.
