Ladies In Charge of Elks' Christmas Tree at Bessemer and Meeting With Much Success, But Welcome
 Additional Contributions.

Bessemer December S.-(Special. )- Between 10 and 12 ore cars were turned over on the line of tn Birmingham Min eral railroad at Gordon station this aft ernoon about 2 o'clock, and Judging from the appearance of the overturned cars It would seem that the car nearest the engine had jumped the track and that the others had followed suit. For tunately the train hands were enabled to jump. thereby escaping injury.
 In one instance there were three cars piled one on top of the other. It IS hard to see Just how this could have happened. but the fact remains that while the car that was on the bot tom was not badly broken up the other two were badly damaged and will only be good for fire wood.
 The wreck occurred at a spot which is very near the tracks of the Birming- nam Railway, Light and Power com pany, and had the cars been thrown a little further some of them would surely have landed on the tracks of the power company.
 Ho S"iS we're empty, ana Tor that reason they were broken up worse than they would have been had they been heavily loaded. Most of the cars are total wreck, although there are sev- eral of them that can be repaired and put into service again.
 No information could be obtained re- garding the wreck, but at o'clock there was a wrecking train on the spot and the work of clearing the wreck was being rapidly pushed.
