Special to the Journal.

Apalachicola, Fla, May 23.-One
hundred yards of the bridge on the
Apalachicola Northern railroad be,
tween Sumatra and the Apalachicola
river, was burned last Friday, the fire
starting, it is believed, from the
sparks falling from a freight train
which passed over the structure ahead
of the mail and passenger train. The
engineer of the latter train, seeing the
gap in the bridge, applied the brakes
and brought his train to a stop, just
in time to prevent a catastrophe. For
his act, and for his watchfulness in
preventing an otherwise bad accident
the passengers rendered many thanks
to him. Where the fire started was
lonely stretch in the road, hence Its
lack of earlier discovery.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM

GRAIN MEN DEFRAUD
BANK OF LARGE SUMS

President James H. Perkins of the Ma.
tional Commercial Bank, the company
is ''hopelessly involved"
The scheme by which the money is
alleged to have been secured was a
simple one. AS soon as a carload Of
grain was shipped from Chicago for
the local firm, the manager received d
warehouse receipt. The man whose
duty is said to have been to take up
the warehouse receipts when the grain
was actually delivered by the railroad
company, it is alleged, did not do so
and hence the genuine bills were used
over again.
