Major scott's Injury In Montgomery
 Pains Friends in Selma.

Selma, July A.-(Special.) )-The friends of Maj. D. M. Scott were pained to learn through The Age-Herald of Sunday of the accident by which his leg was broken in Montgomery Saturday afternoon while reviewing the First regiment with Brig adler General Clark. His family was phoned the news at a late hour Satur- day night but the most of his friends did not learn of 1t until next morning.
 Dr. Gay, Dr. Pitts, Dr. Furniss and others have purchased the Hudson prop crty corner of Union and Third streets, for the purpose of erecting a modern in- firmary. Selma already has three up to date institutions of this character but the location of one has been somewhat against 1t. and it is likely with the esta blishment of the new hospital, the old one will be abandoned. The lot secured is an ideal one and the purchase price is said to have been $7500.

Atlanta, July 24.-(Special.)-As result of a crusade against Sunday trains by the people of West End, a suburb of At lanta. nothing but passenger trans were run yesterday. Under the laws Of the state and the city ordinances. the rail- roads can move only passenger trains and perishable freight on Sunday.

The West End people took the matter up with the police and the railroads were notified that cases would be made if the law was violated. As result no freight train work was done yesterday.

The following letter was received from the management of the Moore & Handley team in regard to the game which was played Saturday between the above named team and the Gotten, Odum & Bowers team:
 "The account published in last Sum day mornings Herald of the base ball game between the Moore & Handley and the Gotten, Odum X Bowers teams did the former team an injustice. as the Moore & Handley boys put up equally as fast an article of ball as that of their opponents. The correct score of the game was 6 to 3, in favor of the Moore & Hand- ley team, The features of the game were the pitching and base running of Mc- Poland and the hitting of Welch and Lighton. McPoland should have scored a shutout as he allowed but two hits, and these came in different innings

The yellow fever reported to exist in New Orleans will have no serious effect on the Southern league, as was at first feared. It may be that no more games will be played at New Orleans this year, but nevertheless the New Orleans club will finish out the season.
 Possibly President Kavanaugh will be compelled to have games scheduled at either New Orleans or Shreveport trans ferred to some other cities but in any event the entire schedule will be finished out. Letters have been received from beth Knoxville and Chattanooga asking that transferred games be played in those cities. President Kavanaugh has stated that he will see that the season is fin- ished out with every game played. The only loss that will be entailed will be a reduction of the income to the New Dr. leans association. and possibly will cost them the pennant
 The league president with his char acteristic optimism has said that the other cities will suffer no loss whatever, and that all clubs will finish out the race. He has the ability and power to make good his promise, and 1t is not now fear d that the yellow fever scare will work sraat Injury on the leaG->
