Montgomery, Aug. 5.-Ioday's

WHO KNEW HOW
Splice Rails Are Put On
Track in Effort to Wreck
a Train.
By Associated Press.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug Sit was
learned today that an attempt was
made yesterday to wreck the New
York-Chicago limited express on the
Pennsylvania Railroad at a point just
outside of Allegheny.
Splice bars had been nailed to the
ties, and rested on each rail, but the
enormous weight of the mogul engine
drawing the train prevented derail-
ment, and the only effect was to bad
ly jolt the passengers
1t is the opinion of the railroad
officials that the attempt was made
by either former employees or by those
familiar with the working of the road,
as the spot selected was the safest
from its being under the signal bridge,
and the manner in which the splice
bars were placed indicate that those
who drove the bars were familiar with
this kind Of work.

ATIVELY VERY HEAVY MORTAL
ITY OF MEN.
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug 5.-The strenu
Gus life is killing the men of Chicago
at a tremendous rate, while women
of the city are increasing their Ion
gevity by the simple life.
On the official health bulletin yes
terday, Health Commissioner Evans
declares that a few centuries will see
Chicago an Adamless Eden.
Commissioner Evans draws his con
illusions from the death rate in Chi
cago for twenty years, and particular
ly in the last seven months, when five
members of the stronger sex died fol
every two of the fairer.
DR.. Evans makes the startling state
ment that during the last seven
months Of 1907 in Chicago, about II,
900 men succumbed as compared tC
5000 women. He says that in the last
year the ratio of difference in tn,
death rate between men and wome1
has been thirty as against less thar
ten per cent. twenty years ago.
The cause of this is attributed by
the physician to the strenuous life
Contributory causes are the quicF
lunch, constant exposure and careless
ness.
The men," he says, ARE living a:
a rate that is so per cent faster thar
that of the women. They work hard
er. They take less care of themselves
than of their wives and daughters
They court danger. They dissipate
more. They exhibit carelessness be
gotten of familiarity with danger
The remedy, according to an emf
nent physician, lies in the return tt
the simple life of our fathers.
