Advertiser Bureau,


 Passenger train No. 21 on the South ern Railway from Birmingham tc Mo bile. which was due to arrive here at 4:2b o'clock this morning. did not pull into the union railway station until nearly II o'clock this morning.
 The seven hours delay of the train was caused by a freight train wreck early this morning between GtNaee Junction and Mobile Junction. Part of the train broke loose, the rear end putting int othe engine of the pas- senzer train which was in charge of Engineer Charles Wall.
 The freight train was going up the steep Shade Mountain grade between Gurney and Mobile Junction, when the train broke about the middle. The rear portion of the freight train began com ing down the grade and gained more speed The passenger train was com ing around a curve and the caboose ar the freight crashed into the en- zine pulling the passenger rain.
 The sped of the freight cars was not as great as 1t would have been if the two trains had been farther apart. The engine of the passenger train was only slightly damaged by the collision. These damages, to a certain extent. were repaired by Engineer Wall, who brought the. delayed train on to this city.

 tween Montgomery and 1. Ti6masville, Ga.

It is hinted in Coast Line Railroad circles of Montgomery that five inn mense passenger locomotives have been ordered by the Atlantic Coast Line for service on the second division be- tween Montgomery and Thomasvilie Ga.. While local officials of the rail- road have not received any official in- formation of such an order. they do not question but that the locomotives are coming.
 It is said the engines will be larger than any of the passenger engines now in service on this division of the Coast Line, and they will add greatly to the motive power of the railroad.
 Three monster locomotives were re- ceived few days ago by the Vest ern of Alabama. Two of them are freighters and one \ts a switch en- zine. One of the freight engines has been set, up and was put into service yesterday morning.

a Brave Britop.

When the attack was made on SidOn,
during the war with Syria, II became
necessary for the British troops To ad-
vance across long, unprotected
bridge In the face OF battery Of six
guns, which completely commanded the
approach. The men were unwilling to
expose themselves TO certain death,
when Arthur Cumming, carefully dress
ed in full uniform, stepped forward TO
the middle of the bridge. 1t was Inn
mediatcly swept by the fire of the bat
terry. When the smoke had rolled
away, there stood Cumming intact
carefully brushing the dust from his
boots, after which he stood erect, fixed
single glass In his eye and looked
back at the mon. This was too much,
and they captured that bridge and bat

Tune the Band Plays During the Per-

"Did you ever see member OF a
circus look at his watch during the
performance asked man who is
familiar with the cycus business ~
several men In group Of takers.
None Of them recalled ever having
noted this action and marveled at
the statement that watch was never
needed.
"The tune OF the band tells the tale"
went on tile speaker From the time
the first whistle Is sounded, which Is
five minutes before the performance
begins, until the last race Is run on the
hippOdrome track the circus folk do
not need timepiece.
"The first whistle Is followed by the
second one five minutes later, and
after that time any one connected with
the show can tell just what acts are
on, even If outside Of the tent The
band Is the timcplece with n circus.
Any employee can tell what is going
on by the tune the band Is playing
The band leader knows just what Is re-
qulred when he arranges the music,
and IL is unusual for any changes
whatsoever 10 be made. The grand
Introductory pageant requires a certain
kind OF music. The high school horses
require n cakcwak. Acrobats want n
certain kind Of music. Aerial perform
ers use another kind. This definite
routine Of music day by day enables
the show people TO time their actions
without watch or clock."-Indlanapolis
