 strange sights are in store for the navy boys when they arrive at Rio. It is a quaint old city. From the top of Sac Antonio Hill they will see some thing like our High Bridge. only lower and vastly longer, Some of the streets are so narrow that wagons can travel but in one direction. No passing. This should suggest something to our reg uiators of truck traffic There Is no confusion. Grip has advocated this for years.) The famous fire brigade will exhibit itself. There will be a drive through the Palm Tree Alice, and ev- cry jack tar will be treated to pot of coffee brewed right on the plantation. The government palace Is a gorgeous house.

The Postmaster.,

It is expected that every Presiden- tial postmaster in Alabama almost will be in Birmingham Tuesday for the meeting of the association which was recently organized.
 The organization is to be perfected at the meeting here this week. Other business is to be transacted. While 1t is announced that there is no political significance to the meeting. 1t is hard ly to be believed that something will not be said as to the political situa- tion. It is not denied that Secretary Taft has strong following among the office holding Republicans in Alabama. Inasmuch as Secretary Taft is being given endorsement by the administra- tion leaders in the party in the State, 1t is not improbable that others will flock towards him also. Outside of politics there is no denying that much good can result from an organization among the Presidential postmasters.

PASSENGER TRAIN HAD A NARROW
 ESCAPE YESTERDAY.
ps.swhead of d Freight Dropped At HaynevfIle Road Crossing and
 Passenger Train Follow


 HayneyiIle Road Crossing and
 Passenger Train Follow y
 ing Was Damaged.
 By the narrowest margin the Louis- vile and Nashville passenger train No. missed being wrecked last night
 The train is due in Montgomery from Mobile and New Orleans at 6 p. m. and last night was running on time in charge of Engineer Wicker and Con- ductor Haralson. A few minutes ahead of No. s a freight train. No 72. in charge of Engineer Sprueil and Con ductor Morrill,. was coming to Mont gomery, and at the crossing of the Hayneviile Pike. about one mile south of the city. a drawhead in one of the cars pulled out and fell on the track In the hurry to have the main line clear for the passenger train follow ing, the crow of the freight train did not discover that the drawhead was on the track and 1t was left there. When the passenger train reached the cross ing. fortunately it was running very slowly and to this fact alone it was saved from a disastrous wreck. When the engine struck the iron drawhead laying on the track the pilot was almost torn off while the trucks of the engine were derailed.
 The running gear of the baggage car and postal car were badly damaged though none of the coaches in the train were hurt. With the aid of jacks, the trucks and wheels of tho engine were put back on the rails and train No. pulled into the trainshed at the Union Station just forty-fivc minutes late. On the arrival of the train at the Union Station the baggage and mail cars had to be sent over to the South and North shops for repairs. instead of going north on train No. as they usually do. Beyond slight delay to train No. and some minor damage to the engine and two cars In -aaestion there was no blocking of tho main line and very few of eAe passen- gers knew of the danger that they had escaped.
 The private ear of President Milton H smith. of the Louisville and Nash- ville was attached to the rear of train No Ss, but was scarcely jared. Presi- dent Smith was coming to Montgomery hearing in the United States Court to- day.
 Yesterday another change was made in the shake-up of the train dispatch er's office of the Mobile and Mont gonnery, the details of which were giv- Nen in The Advertiser Sunday morning. The of1ce of Assistant Master of Trains held by Joe Burton was yesterday re- established and instead of being brought back to working one of tho tricks in the office of Chief Train Dis- patcher Frank Young, MT. Burton will continue to hold his ofice at Georgiana. This change puts Dispatcher Holt on the first trick from 8 a. m. to p. m., Ben Harhen on the second trick from { D. m. to 13 m., and Tom Rucker back on the third trick from midnight to a. m. Hugh Hairston will be made day copyist instead of going to the tsl- egraph once on the second floor.
