WRECK CLEARED
And SCHEDULES
AGAIN RESUMED
TRAINS ARE GOING THROUGH
Damage at Green's Mill is
Fully Repaired

All Central railway trains on this
division are again operated on through
schedule, following the clearing away
of the recent wreck at Green's Mil,
fifteen miles north of Americas, where
fifteen derailed freight cars and a
collapsed trestle has caused trouble
recently, to say nothing of a second
smashup of smaller proportions there
Saturday.
The wreck has been cleared away,
the trestle restored and trains now
go through on schedule instead of be-
ing routed from Americas to Macon,
via Columbus, as during two or three
days.
Fortunately this disaster, while in
volving considerable property loss, did
not result in personal injury to any,
one, as did the recent wreck near
Clayton, Ala, where several were
killed and many others injured.
1t was stated here yesterday that
about $50 people aboard the Inflated
train speeding to the Eufaula fair,
sustained injury of greater or less
magnitude, aside from the several
who met death there when the train,
crowded with excursionists, left the
rails and turned over several times in
rolling down an embankment.
The greater number of these, about
$50 it has been stated, have been set
tied with satisfactorily, according to
the statement yesterday of a gentleman
recently at the scene, many of these
claimants having received slight in
juries only.

GREAT HIT SCORED
BY | z|NGAR|
|LeoncavaIIo Leads the First
American Production OF His
New Opera at TivoIi


Leoncavallo and his associates
scored a tremendous hit at the Tivoli
last night with Il Zingari."
The composer was happy in his
selection of a cast-Melis, Chioda,
Montesanto and Brill.
Melis gave us a Carmenesque lady
of the gypsy tents. She had little
chance to rise to any great emotional
heights. but in the lighter moments
she effervesced and glittered with all
the fire and abandon one would ex-
pect from a daughter of the Hun
garian gypsy tribe.
Chioda was Radu. the prince VINO
renounced his title for the gypsy girl
This tenor put more spirit into mis-
singing and acting than he has done
heretofore. He gave us really nne
bit in the song of lamentation.
Montesanto gave a virile interpre-
tation of lamar. the gypsy minstrel.
Brill did the small pit of Fleana's
father effectively in his,resonant bass.
The story Of the opera concerns
Hungarian prince who renounces his
title to wed the gypsy maid and, when
she proves faithless to him, burns
her and her lover together In the
lovers tent.
Through series of beautiful arias
the story is developed with never
let up in dramatic intensity until the
last act ends In a tremendous Climax
with Radu, the wronged husband,
setting fire to the tent of his rival.
