D. RALLIED YESTERDAY
Delayed the Trains For Sew
eraI Hours

The derailment of a Central rail
way shifting engine in the Americas
yards effectually tied up all traffic
on this division from II o'clock yes
terday morning until late in the af-
ternoon, during which time no trains
were able to get by and general tie
up resulted. The scene of derailment
was near the city waterworks plant.
A soft roadbed resulting from recent
work upon the track there, caused
the big engine to slip down between
the rails.
A large force went to work imme-
diately to replace it, but the work
was slow and without results for many
hours. Several trains, including the
noon passenger train from Macon,
the Columbus passenger train and one
or two freights were blockaded, as
were trains at the depot.
1t was next to impossible to trans
fer mails and passengers from the
trains and a tedious delay of several
hours resulted before the derailed en-
gine was gotten out of the way afte-
4 o'clock in the afternoon.

4 On account of heavy rains, which
1began early yesterday morning. and
| eor+ nued with more or less regular
ity throughout the day, the athletic
contests which We're to have been
held at the high school yesterday as
| A part of the meeting of the Third
Dist let High School association, were
entirely dispensed with, as the wet
, grounds made these contests inn
possible
It, was thought once that some of
the contests, such as the jumps,
would be held at the Y. NJ. C. A. gym
nasium, but this idea was abandoned,
as it was soon apparent that none oil
| the out-of-door contests could be
| held under the unfavorable conditions.
The rains were unfortunate in this
particular and marred what was other
wise one of the most successful meets
lever held by the association. Every
school representative present was de-
| lighted with the manner in which the
local school officials handled the NEE,
and extended the most cordial hospi-
tality to the visitors.
The exercises at the high school au-
ditorium yesterday morning consisted
of the contests in defamation, spell
ing, ready-writing and school exhibits
Plenty of time was left for these ex-
ercises. as none was consumed in con
Quoting the athletic contests. There
were many contestants in each one
these competitions, of which the local
Eschool furnished a good part.
1t was a matter of special pride
I;among local school officials that the
local school again won over all com
petitors in point Of total scores, there
: by giving the local institution prece-
denoe in this particular. The high
school here also won the schDol ex-
hibit again, which it had the good for
tune of winning last year. This giveF

record of which amy school might
well be proud.
1t was matter of much congratu-

the awarding Of the prize for recita~
Etion Friday evening were unanimous
\ in placing the name of Miss Bstegle
ECarter in first place. There was not
a single dissenting vote in this par

tive OF the local school an undisputed
lead over all others. Miss Carter was
trained for the contest by Miss Annie
