 WRECK FAST TRAIN
Serious Charge Against a Negro in Tuscaloosa Jail
THREE SUSPECTS HELD
City Building Ordinance Recently Adopted by Commissioners Tested. Tuscaloosa Executive Com
 mittee to Meet Saturday

Tuscaloosa, February 12-(Special.)- Eugene Cunningham, negro, was ar- | rested here Saturday evening charged | with attempted train wreeking. The at tempt to wreck train occurred on the main line of the A. G. s. one mile from this city, not long since, and it is con sidered a mystery as to why one of the heavy trans on that road was not ditched when the nature of the obstruction placed on the track is taken into consideration.
 Cunningham was arrested by Officer Foster King Saturday night at the A. G. S. passenger depot. He maintains that Ee is innocent of the charge but a rigid lI- vestigation is to be made into the case, and In the meantime Cunningham is being held.
 Spikes had been pulled from two of the rails, while an iron bar was placed in the frog of switch. A crow bar and other pieces of railroad iron were also found on the track by the section fore man. who reported the matter to the police here.
 Three white men were arrested here
 
 ing to rob the Moundvlle bank. Informal ton received from MotlndVille Saturday morning was to the effect that some one had entered the bank there, and had made an unsuccessful attempt to break the vault, not being able to penetrate the vault, several articles lying about the banking room were taken.
 An interesting spectacle on the streets here recently was the initiation ceremonies of the Skulls" a popular organization at the University. There were a number of candidates for mem bership, and the programme as rem dered by them before being admitted into membership was very novel. A large crowd gathered on the streets during the evening" and the efforts of the candidates were greeted with much applause.
 The city building ordinance adopted a short time ago by the commissioners was tested for the first time Saturday when Mr. Dan Collier, to whom a per- init to erect an addition to a building belonging to him, appeared before the commission and urged as to why work had been ordered stopped on the build ing. The case was heard pro and con by the commission, who finally ordered that MT. Collier revise his plans and submit them to the commission Mon day. MT. Golfers building was in character a wood and sheet iron build ing, which is prohibited by the building ordinance.
