 This morning they will go at it again and today promises to be as busy Tor them as yesterday and the day pefore' On account of the late arrival of many of the incoming trains some of the malls were delayed and this interfered with the prompt despatch of much matter. It is stated by the postoffice authorities that the mail this year was much heaV- fer than last Christmas, but 1t was an tieipated on account of the prosperous condition of the country In general.
 John H. Ham. the local agent of the Southern Express company, stated that his company handled the record-breaking business this year for Birmingham and they had done everything possible to look after the express with promptness. It will be remembered some of the de- livery wagons were kept in operation on Sunday distributing express to the citi- zens and yesterday they were all loaoed to the tops again The local office was crowded all of the forenoon with peo- ple calling for packages and Il kept an extra force of clerks busy looking over the matter and handing it over the coun- ter.
 The annual Christmas tree of the local Salvation army for the poor children or Birmingham will be given on New Year day at the hall on Second avenue and it is stated that preparations will be made to care for all the poor children In the city. Many donations for the tree have already been received at the army hall
 Ensign Mcclelland requests that all who desire 10 send anything for this analr can do so by leaving it at the hall and states that all donations will be thank fullv received.

"Ann La Mont"

Florence Roberts came to Birmingham comparatively unknown She played at the Jefferson yesterday afternoon and last night in Ann La Mont" a problem play by Paul Armstrong, and demon- strated that she is n finished artist She has long been popular on the Pacific coast where she has enjoyed success in a repertoir of noted roles, but she Is win ming new laurels on her present tour and next year she will be welcomed wherever she plays this season. Miss Roberts has fine stage presence and is effective in emotional parts. She won a personal triumph in both performances.
 "Ann La Mont Is called a modern prob lem play II Is a story of Bohemia and world centers-a story not without cer- tain fascination and charm. 1t Is strong. well written play and is the product of man who struggled many years before gaining recognition. Miss Roberts has an excellent vehicle for the exercise of her talents.
 The company supporting Miss Roberts was good Max Figman was remember ed for his clever Hperformance in "The Marriage of Kitty" last season and he did not dlsappoint his friends in the au- dlence. He gave the easy, finished inter- pretation of his role that was expected II. S. Northup as Leon Richmond and Lucius Henderson as Gordon Titus were also pleasing.

At the Rliou.

Standing room was in demand at the RJou theatre yesterday afternoon sSd last night when "rhe Beauty Doctor" was presented for the first two perform snces of weeks engagement. This musi- cal farce is about the same now that was seen here last season. The "newness'' dweit upon by advance notices was not apparent in scenery or costumes, but one or two new specialties have been intro dnced. and the best part of last season's show has been retained.
 The company contains several perform crs who were here last year, including Will Phlibrick. Mir. Philbrick constitutes large part of "rhe Beauty Doctor" He is a comedian of unique methods, ap- pears in a rather unusual musical com edy role and is funny enough to make a horse laugh. He was roundly applauded last night. His songs, his eccentric danc- ing and his adventures with the turkey kept everybody laughing. Mir. Philbrick's carving act is by no means new, but he makes 1t screamingly funny. If all the other members of the company were as talented as he, "The Beauty Doctor" would be one of the most entertaining shows of its class before the public. How ever, the others are as good as one usu- ally finds in musical comedies. Claire Grenville as the beauty doctor is dash ing and handsome She has a good voice and sings well. The wonder is that she Is given only one song number. James R. Waters gave his amusing portrayal of the Hebrew character, Solomon Cohen.
 "The Beauty Doctor" Is not as bright and pretty as one would wish A musical production to be, but it is blessed with an excellent comedian, and those who are are in search of Q laugh will be apt to find it at the Biiou this week.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
 NARROWLY AYERTED
REAR COACH ON DECATUR Ac- COMMODATlON SPLIT SWITCH IN YARDS AT BoYLES LAST NIGHT-No ONE INJURED.

A serious accident was narrowly averted last night at o'clock on the Decatur ac- commodaton of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad as it entered the yards of the company just north of Boyles.
 The train had just passed the A X tower and was running about ten miles an hour when the rear trucks of the last coach split a switch, throwing the car from the track and turning 1t half way on It's side.
 Conductor Ferguson was in the rear car and recognizing what the trouble was turned on the emergency brake and stopped the train, but not before the car was dragged almost one hundred yards
 The coach was comfortably full of pas sengers with many women and children and all were badly frightened but none injured in any way so far as could be learned, though all were more or less shaken up. The occupants of the second coach were also badly frightened though none were injured.
 The passengers were transferred to the front coach and brought into the city while the wrecker was dispatched to the scene of the accident.
 Engineer Atkins was pulling the train
 In speaking of the accident last night Conductor Ferguson said:
 "The accident might have been a great deal more serious and 1t is lucky that Happened to be so near the emergency brake at the time l cannot explain the cause of the accident except that the rear truck of the last coach split switch The engine, a baggage car and two passenger coaches had passed over the switch safely and I know of no cause for the last truck taking the wrong track
 "The people in the wrecked car, though badly frightened acted wonderfully we'll otherwise many might have been serious ly injured in a stampede or by jumping from windows.
 "The train was running between ten and twelve miles an hour and the car was carried about ten car lengths be- fore the train was stopped"

West, another white man, who was found on the Tennessee road near North Birmingham early one morning several weeks ago and who died before telling anything about how he came to be shot, are still confined in the county jail with no prospects of a preliminary hear ing.
 It is probable that the authorities are awaiting the action of the grand jury in the ten cases before giving them trial. The two men maintain that they are innocent ol the charge and say they will be able to clear themselves.
