WAREHOUSE C0LLAPSES Big Building Crushed by
 Heavy Weight. ESCAPE OF 75 WORKMEN National Cotton Oil Company Sui
 fers Great Loss. Second story overioaded With Hun dreas of Tons of Hulis wrecks
 Property in West End-Two
 Cars uader Debris.

Overloaded by the weight of more than three hundred tons of cotton seed hulls. stored in it's second floor, the immense warehouse or the Nation- al Cotton oil Company near Bell street and First avenue, collapsed yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock causing loss of several thousand dollars worth ot property. and seriously endangering the lives of seventy-five men.
 With crash and the sound or rend- ing timbers, the sides of the building caved outward, the upper floor sank to the top of the sacks piled on the noor beneath, and the loose hulls, bursting through the broken sides of the struc- ture, spread like flood, several feet deep, over the ground. Boards and pieces of tinbers were sent flying through the air. while the clouds or dust that arose completely blinded those seeking to escape from the vicini- ty of the falling walls. It was not un- til several minutes had elapsed. when the dust had cleared away, that 1t was ascertainesf> none of tnoses working near the building had been caught in the debris.
 Escape of Men Miraculous.
 Those who witnessed the collapse say that the fall of the building was instantaneous. There was no gradual giving way just before the walls bulg- ed and fell Although the weakness of the structure had been observed Tor several hours. and efforts were mak- ing to keep at least part of the build ing intact, when the final crash came. it was as sudden as q bolt of lightning. How some of those who were close to the wallis of the building escaped the falling tImbers is regarded by eyewit- nesses as little short of miraculous.
 Probably the nearest man to the building when it fell was Mir. F. Baze- more foreman of the grist mill at the cotton oil plant. When the first re- port of snapping wood was heard. he was standing close to the north wall on the outside, directing the movement of workmen who were endeavoring to stave off the impending collapse.
 How I managed to get away alive. said MT, Bazemore. T do not know, felt the wall give. and l sprang away. The air was full of flying tfmbers, and the dust prevented me from seeing any thing. I must have ran from under the falling wall. l did not realize

erection of another building will prob- ably cost as much or more than did the original structure. The value of the cotton seed hulls is estimated at $6 ton which makes a total of some thing over $1.So0. The meal is estimat- ed to be worth $1,500. and the bran at s400. With the exception of few tons of hulls, however. the contents of the building will all be saved un- less damaked by rain before they can be removed to a place of safety.
 The plant of the Cotton oil Compa- ny in, this city consists of an oil mill. a seed house. grist mill. grain ele- vator. cotton shed, office and the de- molIshed storehouse. The officers of the company are residents of Selma, where another plant is located.
 Manager Walker said last night that it will probably be n week before the contents of the ruined building can be removed. and the plant be started In operation again.
 Fire insurance is carried on the building and their contents, but noth- ing which will cover the loss sustained yesterday.

SKIN ECZEMA

Black SpIOtches All Over Face = Produced Severe Itching-Year' Treatment by Physicians Did No Good and Became Despondeut- Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever Alabama Lady's
CURE BY THE CUTICURA REMEDIES

"About four years ago was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of annoy- ance and suffering, to such an extent that was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After 8 thor ough examination of the dreaded com. plaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated ne for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good.
 Finally l became Respondent and decided to discontinue their services. Shortly afterwards, my husband in read- ing Q copy of q weekly New York paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti- cura Remedies. He purchased the en-, tire outfit, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. l continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever have not felt symp- tom ofthe eczema since, which was three years ago,
 The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicated troubles as well; and have been the means of others being cured of the same disease by the Cuticdra Remedies, and l don't hesitate in saying that the Resolvent is the best blood medicine that the world has ever known" Lizzie E.

Trafnc Has Been Resumed.

The waters of the Cahaba River are falling fast and traffic has been re- sumed by the railroads out of this city which cross that stream Yesterday y afternoon the first train for two days on the Southern was sent out. The train was sent to Lake Lanier nine miles west of here. and at that point the passengers were transferred across the stream. which is three miles wide at hat point. The first train in from the west reached this city last night a fGwg minutes before 10t o'clock. the passengers being transferred across the Cahaba.
 During the night water in the river receded rapidly and this morning the first engine passed over the bridge since the river went out of its banks Monday night. The regular schedule will now be resumed. A transfer on handsars was again made this morning on the Louisville and Nashville Road at the Cahaba bridge on the line be- tween this city and Myrtlewood.

An obiect of Intercst.

The Alabama River continues to be all object of interest 70 Selmians and visitors to the city, and every day hun dreds go to the county bridge to view it and speculate on the rise. The river has been rising very slowly all day. but all of the fields for about half a mile across from the city are inun- dated.
 If the river continues to rise at this point until 1t reaches the predicted mark. 1t will overflow the country on the southside for many miles. Such a rise would make many negro families leave their homes and would be the cause of much suff sring. But the Ala bama has been rising so slowly that it is thought that t will not go more than a few inches higher before the vast volume of water will begin to re- cede.
