The wrecking of Central passen-
ger train which, had it been success
full, would have proved disastrous and
accompanied with loss of life, was
made at Muckalee creek trestle, two
miles below Americus yesterday af-
ternoon
The very boldness of the train
Wrecker, working at high noon as he
did, makes the attempt the more auda-
cious.
The crew and passengers were
given a shock, but nothing more
severe.
Central passenger train No. 6, due
in Americus at 1856 from Montgom-
cry, swept around the sharp curve
just beyond the trestle over Muckalee
creek, running at usual speed. AS
he approached the trestle the engi-
neer saw tie on the bridge.
Tie Struck by Engine
The train was too close upon it to
be stopped although it struck the
crosstie under slackened speed. The
engine pilot was smashed, and the
tie, an unsound one was broken and
thrown to one side. No damage was
done the train.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the crosstie had been fixed with the
evident intent of hurting the passen-
ger train, with scores of people on
board, into the creek.
AS the train came to a halt after
striking the obstruction members of
the crew saw negro running away
through the creek swamp.
Special Engine for Officers
Upon reaching Americus and warn
ing No. 5, the west bound train, the
attempted train wrecking was report
ed to Agent Hightower and to Chief
of Police Feagin who was at the
depot. They secured the yard en-
gine and hurried to the trestle.
AS the engine and party of pursuers
reached the trestle a negro was found
sitting beside the track, Immediately

SAFES WERE BLOWN IN
TOWN OF BUENA VISTA
Burglars Busy There Mon.
day Morning.

A telephone message to Sheriff
Bell and Police Chief Feagin early
yesterday morning requested that dogs
be sent to Beuna Vista to trail bur-
glars who had done the dynamite act
there the night before. The message
was transmitted badly, and Chief
Feagin could not ascertain whose safe
had been blown open, or the amount
of loss sustained. The track dogs
here are the personal property OF
Supt. Paschal, of the county chain
gang, and are now at the camps in a
distant section of the county. Fol-
this reason it was impossible to com
ply with the request to send dogs tC
the scene. Passengers on the in
coming afternoon train from Columbus
heard nothing of the burglary while
passing through Beuna Vista.

SALVATION ARMY APPEAL.
Workers Need Assistance in Cash,
Toys and Provision for Christmas.

One of the infallibie signs of the ap-
proach of Christmas is the activity of the
officers of the Salvation Army, who are
ever mindful of the poor and who have
to depend upon the charity of the people
of the city for the wherewithal to carry
on their work. During the past two days
the Army officers have distributed 100
contribution boxes about the business
houses of the city and today several hun
bred appeals by letter are being sent out.
Any person knowing what has been ac-
complished il the past by this organiZa-
ton in Ogden cannot do otherwise than
to aid those engaged in the work Tie
army officers spare no pains trouble
in the task of Frightening the homes of
the destitute at all times, putting forth
a special effort at Christmas.
Instead of distributing the Christmas
baskets this year the Salvation Army
workers have decided to prepare the bas-
kets at their hall in the Bennett block,
where the needy Will call on Christmas
morning for the donation. On Christmas
night a real Christmas tree for the little
folks will be at the army hall and the
officers will play the part of Santa Claus.
The appeal sent out by letter by En-
sign Townsend and Cadet Caldwell reads
as follows:
In accordance with our annual custom
of providing Christmas cheer for the poor
of our city, we are planning this year to
furnish dinners, which will be sent in
well-filled baskets to the homes of needy
families. Also to act the part of Santa
Claus to number OF poor children, in
gifts of toys. candy fruit etc.
our friends assured by our long and
successful experience in handling these
undertakings. have nObly assisted us in
the past in generous responses &c our ap-
pealS for this special fund Although you
may have been called upon to assist other
efforts during the year. we believe you
will not fail at this special time when
we so much desire to bring cheer and
Christmas gladness into the homes of
sorrow and want. Donations NAV no saDt
