SIX COACHES burn
IN DANGEROUS WRECK
G. n. Oriental Limited, No. l, Wrecked
and Destroyed Yesterday Afternoon
Rails Spread..--No Lives Lost.

Lne disaster, Ike the many OLl2rS
which the Great Northern has had
of late. was due to defective track.
The division superintendent stated
to World representative that the
ties We're not old--that tie imbed-
ded in the sand at that point should
be seryiceable for IA or Is years.
The date marks on the ties at the
place of the wreck showed them to
have been put in during 1900.
Passengers say the train was run
ming at high rate of speed to make
up time. running down a long grade
free from curves and making prob
ably so or more miles an hour. The
fireman thought they were making
about forty miles an hour.
Pull Up Spikes With Fingers.
AT Columbia Sizing this morning
passengers loafing around the sta
tion were amused at the antics of
two small boys in the party who bus
led themselves trying the spikes
along the main line of the railway.
They found several spikes so loose
that they pulled them out without
difficulty, afterwards replacing them
in the holes in the ties.
Twenty Hours Delay.
The passengers on ithe wrecked
train were held at Columbia Siding
for twenty hours. Trains from both
end are coming in this morning, and
there are probably more people in
the picturesque hamlet of Columbia
Siding than ever before.
Passengers in Panic.

that We couldn't get out the doors

all the women and children out that
way, and passed their hand baggage

 The Latest Fad.
 The latest fad among the leisured classes of a sporting turn of mind is cockroach races in eggs. This fascinating sport is indulged in the country or even in Paris, preferably in the garden as dusk is coming on.
 The method is as follows: Cut off the top of an egg, empty out the con- tents. and place inside a good-sized live cock roach. Fasten up the aper- ture with paper, and make a few holes in the eggshell so that the creature can see the light and breathe. Place number of the encaged cockroaches at one end of the table and a lighted candle at the other.
 The insects, as soon as they see the light will make for it. and race takes place, the result being a very curious and amusing series of Mobbling on the part of the egg. This sport is just at present enjoying a perfect fur ore. Large parties sit round and roar at the gambols of the egg. and much betting takes place on the result of the race.

The third day of the big auction sale of the bankrupt stock of the Bai- ley Furniture Company, at 1s Com merce street, drew an even larger and more enthusiastic gathering of inter ested men and women than Thursday or Friday the first days of the sale
 A portion of the stock has been closed out, but tie auctioneer will have to use his best efforts in order to make sure that the entire stock is closed out before the expiration of the lease /on the store at the end of two weeks. In view of the fact that the sale can not be extended beyond that time. it is absolutely necessary that every item in the entire store shall be closed out at once, absolutely without regard to value or cost.
 It will be recalled that the Bailey Furniture Company has been in busi- ness less than a year. Therefore, the stock is brand new In every particular. In addition to all kinds of medium and fine Furniture, the stock consists of Lace Curtains, Portier Curtains. Win dow Shades. Upholstery Goods. Rugs. etc.
 From day to day, until the stock is disposed of, the auctioneer will hold two sales, one at 10 in the morning, tho other at { in the afternoon. Now that the knowledge that the sale can be run only two weeks has gotten out the home-owners of Montgomery are talk ing advantage of the magnificent op- portunity afforded by this sale to buy absolutely new Furniture at less than cost.

Western Facade of Capitol

ther expenditure on Che Capitol for the present.
 A prominent State House officer said yesterday that he does not see how the State can make the changes in the Capitol which have been recommended within the next two years There is so much to be done, he said, that s100,oo0 can be expended with great beneht to the building.
 There are also many who oppose the changing of the facade of the old building for sentimental reason. ar guing. as it was argued when the prop osition was first made to construct new Capitol entirely. that the historic old building where the President or the Confederacy was first sheltered should stand forever as monument.
 It was because of these heavy ex- penditures and burdens upon the state that the Legislature declined to make the desired appropriation for the con struction of the proposed north wing of the Capitol. to provide more room for some of the departments, ana 70 offset in an architectural way the new south wing.
