June 11.--(Special )--A local mixed freight train which is op- erated between Attalla and Rome, Ga, on the Southern Railway, collided with switch engine of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad at Sulphur Springs, about mile below this city, today at Il o'clock, and both engines were com pletely demolished.

 The mixed train had only a few minutes before left the depot in this city. and was on its way to AttalIa when the collision occurred.

WILL SKINNER DIES IN STORE Charred Body Found by
 Neighbors. A YOUNG MAN OF SELMA Mystery Surrounds His Peculiar
 Taking Off. The Building Was Aare and Dallas County Merchant was Almost
 Cremated When Remains
 Were Discovered.

Selma, June 11.-(Special.) )-The charred body of Will Skinner. young white man of Selma, was found in his little store near Sardis, last night by some neighbors of the young man. The store which is about ten miles across the river from here was on fire at the time and the neighbors who hurried to the scene of the confiagraton rescued the lifeless body of MT. Skinner just before the building was destroyed.
 When found the remains of the young man were lying close to one of the windows of the building and had been terribly burned. The head and body had been burned beyond recognition but the legs appeared to have been un- touched by the flames. The front part of the store had been burned and 1t appeared as if the fire had started near the front door.
 cause of the death of MT. Skinner who had been conducting the store several months. One of the theories is that as the young man often suffered From vertigo and while he was standing near a lamp one of these attacks came on him and in falling he knocked over lamp which set the building afire. The second theory Is that he was shot by some one and to hide the crime the stoTe was set dHre so that tuc pouy would be cremated. If this second the ory Is correct the assassins did their work we'll for the body had been so badly burned when it was found that 1t could not be told whether he had met with fosll play.
 Some of the neighbors who were at- tracted to the store by the blaze say they distinctly heard a shot several minutes before the fire was discovered.
 There are quite a number who be- lteve that the young man was mur- dered. For several years previous to his opening the store in which his burned body was found Mir. Skinner acted as a deputy constable In this city for justices of the peace. During that time he arrested quite number of me- groes from the neighborhood where he afterwards went into business and 1t is thought that some of these negroes harbored a grudge against him and that last night they went to his store and robbed and killed him and set the building afire to hide all evidence of their crime.
 The young man spent most of yes terday in Selma and left for his place of business yesterday afternoon. His remains were brought here this morn ing and the funeral services took place from the residence Of his parents on o'clock. The body was inferred in Live Oak Cemetery.
 MT, Skinner was the son of Mir and Mrs. W. L.. Skinner of this city and was about 32 years old. Besides his parents he leaves two sisters and two brothers.
