 Montgomery. THEY RESUME THEIR TRAVELS Are Sent to Southwest by Way of
 Birmingham. Traffic on l.. & N. Road south of FIom- aton is stiII Blocked and Tensas Bridge Is Reported Damaged.

The problem of moving passengers for the Southwest, who were massing in Montgomery, was solved yesterday by the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road Company, by making up spec ial train and sending more than 200 persons bound for New orleans and points in Texas by way of Birming ham to the Crescent City,.
 Many of these persons had been in Montgomery since Thursday morning. They continued to. come in from At lanta and points East of there Mont gomery hotels were filled and many were cared for by the railroad com- pany at the union railway st..tiop. The situation on the Mobile and Montgomery Division of the Louisville and Nashville continues unchanged so far as communication with points south of Flomaton is concerned there is no authentic news of the condition of the road and the damage to the company's property south of Bay Mi nette. where the storm IS said to have wrecked havoc.
 Clear to Pensacola.
 From Flomaton to Pensacola the wires have been patched temporarily and the road has been gotten iD.o such shape that trains are now running | on that division. Photographic cornmu- nicatfon has been ft,-sstablished be- | tween Montgomery and Flomaton and all intervening points on the line. Trains for Birmingham and the North left Montgomery last night, the | first that have left the union station in the past twenty-four Lours.

 been at the union station since Thurs day were taken on special train last | night at 7:30 o'clock to Birmingham and sent from that city to New Or

The message came from Mobile, by the way of the South ern Railway to Selma. and was tele- graphed from that place to Montgomery
 The Tensas river bridge is one of the longest and most important bridges on the system. Any sort of damage to that bridge would be a severe blow to traffic on the Mobile and Montgomery Division, and if the displacement of the bridge is a fact, 1t will mean that the company faces 2 problem that will re- quire many thousands of dollars and considerable time to solve. The Tensas river bridge has been strengthened re- gently to admit of the weight of the mammoth new engines which the com pany is using to pull the heavy trains that are passing daily over the Divis- ion.
