Engineer Graham Jones and his fireman, Otis, a negro, had another narrow call Sunday and so did the passengers that he had with him. His train, the west bound passen ger on the Southern out of Birming ham for Columbus, got into it bad a mile this side of Coalburg and a horrible catastrophe almost ensued. That section is a country of moun tains and valleys, of deep cuts and high trestles and fills. No. 35 was on time, slipping overlhe rails at a fine clip, when Engineer Jones saw two cows ahead. The first was hit lull force and pitched a hundred feet. The engine was re versed and the air crowded on, but not in time to arrest the momentum of the train before the second cow was struck. Instead ot clearing her off the track, she was ground beneath the engine, which left the rails, broke from the tender and plunged down the 20 foot embank ment. Mr. Jones was thrown out on his head and sustained painful injuries. The tender and passen ger coaches ran off the track, but balanced almost on the edge of the embankment, thus saving the lives of many passengers. A wrecking crew was put to work and the wreck was oon cleared, and the train reached this city about five hours later. On the train were Mrs. C. L. Steele, Mrs. Steele's mother in-law, Dr. A. N. Steele's mother, Mr. M. A. Franklin and other Columbus people. Wherever They Go. "My wife was run down in health and my little daughter had scrofu la.

The Steamer "Vienna" arrived Monday at noon from river points below bringing 180 bales of cotton and a few passengers.

Hoyt's "A Texas Steer," the best comedy that has come from the pen of the well known author, will be presented at the new theatre next Saturday night.
