TO WRITE FIRE RISKS
BIG INSURANCE COMPANY TO BI
 ORGANIZED.
Alabama and Georgia Men Are Inter ested in an Enterprise to Be Backed by $1,OOO,00O
 Capital.

It was learned yesterday from re- liable source that within few days a fire insurance company with a capital stock of $l,000,0O0 will be incorporated under the laws of Alabama by capital ists of Georgia and Alabama.
 The company will be known as the Atlantic and Gulf Insurance Company and it will be incorporated with the privilege of increasing its capital stock from $1.oo0,000 to $5,0O0,000.
 c. C. Hanson. Jacob Haas and D. l. MacIntyre, prominent citizens of At lanta, are among the promoters of the big company and 1t is probable that Montgomery men will be interested in the enterprise. It is definitely stated that several Alabama men will be in- terested in the company, but their names are not given out.
 J. c. Haas of Montgomery, who was asked for information concerning the proposed fire insurance company would neither confirm nor deny the report of it's proposed organization. He admit ted that thcre wa a probability of the organization of such a company, but declined to discuss the names of its promoters. ...
 The headquarters of the company will probably be in Atlanta.

HEAVY RAILROAD TRAVEL.
Holiday Ticket Rates Increases Number
 of Passengers.

or Fa1kemSers.
 The rain yesterday materially cut down the local railroad travel to Montgomery, but the through travel was unusually heavy.
 The home-seekers that bought tickets in the West Tuesday were passing through the union station yesterday morning and last night. The Western Railway train from Atlanta, due at 9:20 p. m., was run in two sections last night, the first two hours late and the secohd three hours late. The first sec- tion brought the mail and other New York connections, while the second section was made up entirely of Pull man cars.
 The tourist business from the North and East to California and New Or leans is heavy, as is the Florida busf- ness from the West.
 The effect of the school teachers and students tickets being on sale Is made evident by the presence in the Mont gomery union railway station of pretty school girls in their attractive Oxford caps, and gray clad cadets brave in natty military caps.
 Beginning tomorrow morning the holiday tickets for the general public take effect and remain on sale until January 1st. The sale of students and teachers tickets expire at midnight Saturday night, but are limited to Jan uary 4th. as are the general public tickets.
 The Texas holiday tickets which were put on sale Tuesday. have final limit to January Sth, and hundreds of Texans are taking advantage of the low rates to visit their former homes in Ala bama, Georgia and other States on this side of the river" The greatest vol ume fthis business is expected to pass through Montgomery. today. ...

 The prisoners had already removed several brick and were fast making their way to liberty when discovered. Sheriff Crawford has been in office nearly six years and although at times as many as twenty-five prisoners have been confined in the jail here there has not been a single escape from jail.
 County Court will convene here on the first day of January, 1906, and the docket will be the heaviest in the his- tory of the county. as there are about one hundred and forty cases on the docket for trial at that term. It is a

 The cotton receipts at this place this year are about 1000 bales behind what they were at the same time last year, which indicates that the cotton crop in Bibb County is quite short. The gin at this place has ginned 400 bales less up to this time than were ginncd at the same time last year.

CRIME OF A NEGRO.
Unknown Black Attempted to Assault
 Highly Respected Woman.


 Mrs s. A. Reed, a highly-respected woman, who resides at 106 Alsop Street. was the victim of indignities and an attempt at assault by burly, unknown negro at o'clock last night within fifty feet of her residence. The negro escaped and every effort is making to apprehend him.
 Mrs. Reed resides just a short dis tancc on AIsop Street from the corner of Clayton Street, She had been shop ping in town yesterday afternoon and few minutes before 6 o'clock sine took a Belt Line car to return to her home She stepped from the car at the intersection of Clayton and Holt Streets, and walked on Clayton Street in the direction of her home Arriving at the corner of Alsop Street. she turned the corner and, looking behind her. saw the negro crossing the street She had proceeded only few paces when the negro slipped up from be hind her and in an instant his arms encircled her waist. A desperate strug gle ensued, and Mrs. Reed was thrown to the ground by the brute She screamed for assistance. and as the ne gro heard footsteps approaching. he escaped across field in the direction of the Atlantic Coast Line shops.
 Just as the negro ran, MT. Cain, a neighbor of Mrs. Reed, attracted by the cries, made his way hastily to the scene. About the same time other neighbors were aroused and it was only a few minutes before the entire community was indignant Mrs Reed was taken to her home. and at 7:I5 o'clock the police department was in- formed of the crime.
 Patrolmen Avant and Thorn were despatched to the scene. They were unable to apprehend the negro. but they gained information that may lead to his arrest Mrs Reed thinks that sh~ can identify the negro if he is brought before her. She describes the negro as being about six feet high and weighing about lsO pounds. He is very black and wore a long rubber coat and a cap.
 The police department. as well as the sheriff, is using every effort to apnre- bend the negro.
