ONE WAS KILLED
 EIGHT INJURED Southern Freight Strikes BoyIes
 Work Train WRECK WAS AT TAO A. M. Conductor and Engineer of Work Train State They Had Been FIagged s Across at First Ave. and Twenty.seventh St.
WRECK WAS AT TAO A. M.

Eight people were more or less injured and one was killed in a collision this morning at 1:40 o'clock between d South ern freight train and the Louisville and Nashville train which brings the em- ployes in from Boyles every night. The collision occurred at First avenue and Twenty-seyenth street.
 Lowell Bradford a negro, died at St yincents hospital a few minutes after reaching there. His foot was cut off his arm bruised and he had internal injuries.
 The injured were:
 Tom Malone, a negro living at 3l9 Third avenue, leg broken and other injuries.
 Conductor Bowers, injuries slight.
 Engineer Klyce, foot badly cut with glass.
 ! J. H. Johnson, negro, IF Twenty third street, leg badly hurt
 w. D. Sims, 300 South Nineteenth street, injuries slight.
 Flagman Finley, not serious.
 The Louisville and Nashville train was in charge of Engineer Andrews and Com ductor Shannon. They stated that tfN had clear crossing and were partially over when n fiagman suddenly flagged them. Just then their train was struck by the rear end of a Southern freight train which was being pushed through the yards
 The lIoulsNllle and NaSnNllle train was going east having come down to Twen- tieth street, and the Southern engine was pushing long string of cars through the yards going from the south towards the north.
 Lon Stewart, who was engineer on the Southern train stated that he had Jagged the crossing and started to cross when the Louisville and Nashville train ran in ahead of him. The conductor. Benn Suggs, made similar statement.
 The injured were taken to St. Vincent 8 hospital in the ambulances of Shaw X Son. the Gaudin company, Lge Loy and Green X Go. It Is not thought that any of the injured will die.
 It seems the freight cars of the South ern struck between two of the Louisville and Nashville cars. and that the negro who died at the hospital was standing on the platform and was caught One of the Louisville and Nashville cars was thrown on one side of the track and another on the other side
 The Louisville and Nashville wrecker cleared the tracks, which were blocked only about two hours.

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
Lafayette Railway Wins Out In Pro-
 ceednes Before Chancellor.

Lafayette, June 2S.-(Special) )-Acting Chancellor Oscar Lewis of Tuskegee rem dered a decision late tonight in the in junction proceedings to prevent the La fayette railway from dismantling it's tracks, dissolving the injunction, which virtually means that the work of tear ing up the track can proceed.
 Several weeks ago when the Lafayette, Railway company announced that the line between this town and Opelika would be discontinued and began tearing up the tracks number of citizens along the route enjoined the road from con tinuing the work of dsmantling the road. The injunction was granted and the tear ing up of the tracks was stopped. Only about a mile of the line had befn torn up.
 Unless the case is appealed to a higher court the company will proceed at once to dismantle the rest of the tracks be- tween Lafayette and Opelika.
 The road was built about ten years ago by the merchants of Lafayete but as it was only an experiment the directors decided to discontinue the operation of the road, which has been strenuously op- posed by the people along the route.

LABOR MORE PLENTIFUL

Bessemer. June B. Special )-From the many activities around furnaces number l and of the Tennessee company's Bes- semer division the report that the plants will be relighted about July 1 seems to be we'll founded. These furnaces have been idle since July last and during that time have been oyerhauled and repaired from top to bottom
 Among the many improvements that have been made is the installing of a number of new improved blowing engines. These will greatly increase the air pres sure and will materially add to the out put of the plants.
 Since the Tennessee company began to start up its furnaces in this district the scarcity of labor has been one great drawback. Recently the company gave notice that the prices paid to furnace laborers would be raised from s1. 20 to $1.Se per day. This increase has had a heal thy tendency to add to the number of workmen and everything is now clear for putting the plant into operation.
 Three of the Tennessee furnances in this division are now in full blast and are turning out pig iron in large volume. The resumption of number l and ? will put every plant in and around Bessemer in operation.
 Recently the Woodward company blew in No. furnace at Woodward, making three blast furnaces in operation at that place. The Bessemer rolling mills are running on full time in all departments and the daily output is breaking all for mer records.
