WashOuts Between Mont
gomery and Mobile Caus-
ing Much Trouble

The Louisville and Nashville railroad
passenger schedules are more demoral-
lied on account of the storm south of
here than ever before perhaps. 1t is un-
derstood that in many places below Mont
gomery and Mobile the tracks are washed
away. 1t was announced yesterday from
local offices that traffic will not be re-
sumed over the washed out places be-
fore late tonight or tomorrow morning.
The Louisville and Nashville in its time
of trouble is using the Queen and Greg
cent into New Orleans and Mobile. The
passenger trains through here are being
taken over by the Queen and Crescent
and operated as rapidly as possible to
their destination. Local officials yester-
day said that it was impossible for any
accurate information to be given out at
this time as to the damages sustained or
the probable time of schedule resumption.
1t was stated that trains made up at
Montgomery for Louisville and points
north were being operated practically on
time, but that through service was many
hours late in most instances. The COM
pany officials have rushed material and
men to the scene of the washouts, aid
are leaving nothing undone TO get the sit
uation cleared up and service resumed.
