Mail Service Changes.

The report which reached the South that the postoffice bill will provide radical changes In the Southern malls between Montgomery and New Orleans on being called to the attention of MT. Moon of Tennessee, the ranking Dem- ocrat on the House Postefice Commit tee, said he did not consider there was anything in the measure likely to cause alarm on that score. He knew of noth- ing in the bill, he added. which would cut down the mail facilities of that section.
 MT Moon takes a great interest in postal matters and ever since he came to Congress has paid particular atten- ton to these measures.
 Mir. Small of North Carolina, anoth- CT Democrattic member of the commit tee, does not exactly agree with MT. Moon. The former says some reduc- tions have been made but until he can investigate more carefully he does not know just what the effect will be. He is going to look into the matter to- morrow when he says he will be in better position to say whether or not the South will be injured in its mail facilities.

In the train were two cars of explo-

train away from the town. He had
proceeded about half mile when the
explosion occurred and he was blown
to atoms. 1t is reported that another
