Tho caboose was torn to pieces,
and the local train badly damaged.
Tho extent of the damage could
not be definitely learned, but it Is

Tno construction train was be
yond the wreck, and in addition to
it all of the shop bands of the road
were sent from this place to the
scene of the wreck at 6 o’clock yes
terday afternoon, and all the force
available was put to work cleaning
up the wreck.
At midnight the passenger
train for Birmlnghrm over the B.

highly enjoyed throughout.
Dancldg was the principal amuse
ment of the evening. A much rel
ished lunch was served, and some
line music produced. Moonlight
promenading was enjoyed after the
lunch was served.
Among those proseut were: Bam
Hawkins, Jr., and Miss Georgia
Glover, Ross Harper and Callle
Windsor, H. Ed.Haynes and Mag
gie Brannon, Lester Windsor and

A. J. M. Bizikn, Bupt.
Hon. Charles F. Crisp will reach
Americus to-day.
Preparations had been made by
the people of Americus to extend
to him a grand ovation when he
reached the city, which it was sup
posed would o?cur to-morrow.
But intelligence has been recelv*
ed that the Congressman would
reach home to-day, and owing to Its
being Sunday the ovation was nee
essarily postponed.
The oltlzens of Americus, out of
appreciation for hls distinguished
services, made preparations to ex
tend to him the strongest and most
sincere expressions of their approv<
al of his labors in Congress. The
military were to turn out, aud in
connection with a procession of the
citizens were to form a demonstra
tion that would long be remem
bered by the Congressman and the
city of Americus.
However, the nows of his arrival
here to-day made it impossible to
carry out the original intention of
the citizens, and the congressmen
will be met at the depot by a com
mltteo of leading citizens.
Arrangements will bo made, how-
•ver, for a grand demonstration In
tho opera house some night this
Weok, where Judge Crisp will
^lake a speech, and where the citi
zens will all be out to hear him.
The following card explains itself
To-day being the Babbatli, aud
our distinguished citizen. Hon
Charles F. Crisp, is to arrive ou
the noon train on the Central rail
road, the following gentlemen, were
selected to meet him and escort
Mm to his residence as a mark oj

THE TABLET.
SOME BITS OF GOSSIP PICKED UP
HERE AND THERE.
It now appear, that thing, are
taking on a new aapeet in the boll
lug Seventh and especially in (he
.oven hilled metropoll. of Rome.
It aeem. that Dr. William Brad'
ford contributed an article to John
Martin’. Tribune which charged
Curput with aomo irregular!
tie. in a bu.in.l. matter while he
vu a citizen of Macon.
Well, tbe communication was
not auch aa would delight Captain
Corput, aud be went before the
grand jury of Floyd county and
obtained a true bill again.t tho
druggist.
That i. placing a very aeriou.
feature on the leglalatlve campaign
in Floyd, and tbe boiling of the
political oauldron i. now seething
with personal bltterne...
.When it waaknown that Captain
Corput waa before the grand Jury
for the purpose of getting the true
bill, It aroused the most luteuae in
terest all over tbe city, ami when
the jury returned the* bill found
truen ripple of exoilment awopt
over the fair metropolis of tho
mountain..
What the outcome will be no ouo
knows, but it is feared by many
that what was commenced aa only
political difference, will terminate
111 serious trouble of a peraonale na
ture.
A few days ago Editor John
Locke Martin announced tiirough
the Tribune that be would go be
fore the grand Jury and Indite
some of the opposition leaden for
libel, a few.'daya later he went bo
lero the afore.ald body, but tho
result of hls visit is not yet known.

weary Sunday afternoons, wbat

could not take a ride around tbe

There are many way. of apemllug
the Sabbath afternoons. In Ameri

arc usually warm, are .pent
by everybody quietly at hoina
reading, or talkingover the morn

ple go out for a stroll along tba
sandy streets which lead out to tba
suburb., or go out riding. When

visitor, to till, place will be found
many people of mature years and

they are people of a serious and re
flective nature.
To every one of whatever calling
or tem|ierament, the quiet hour, of

The Tari.kt.
How Americus does grow!
“Let me tell you," said Dr. Joe
M. Itosworth yesterday to The Re-
cnitfiEn, "you have the blggeat
town In Georgia for its size.”
Last wlntsr Dr. Bosworth was in
Amerlcua practicing hia profession.
He had a auite of rooms in the
Thomas Block, and was attending
patients who came from twenty
count!... Howascal.-edaway,and
visited several sections of tho state.
He gave notice when he left that
he would return, but did not retain
hia rooms, thinking It would ba no
trouble to get others. Last week
he returned, as he had promised i
hls |>atien)s be would.
Standing iu front of The Rkcor-
iikr building, with hia bands clasp
ed together, with a genial sm!!e
playing over ills face, he said:
--I have hunted the town over for
an office. Not a vacant room can
be found, aud It is only through,
tho courtesy of Prof. Van Riper
that I have scoured two -rooms in
tbe second story of the Hart build
ing, directly in front of The Rf.cok-
ukk building.”
"Of courso,” he continued, "I
would like to have rooms facing tbo
street, but after looking over Ain er-
Icus, I am thankful to get any.”
"I never saw anything like it in
my life,” ho said, "tha growth of
your oily. When I left you were
digging great wains in tho streets
for your sanitary sewerage. I
thought tlieu you wore building too
fast. Now I see you are wise in
your feneration, and hereafter will
be a steadfast believer In any enter
prise Americus takes hold of."
"Another thing that astonishes
me. A lsdy patient of mine wants
teoome to Apierlous while law
treating liei I have looked in vain
to secure a room for her in sonie pri
vate house, ora boarding bouse..
Not a place tian I find. True, aha-
could go to a hotel, but $00 a month
is mote than she can allbrd to pay.
Ills strange that with tho hundreds
of houses I seo golug up in every
part of the olty I cannot find one -
room for her!”
'Every place I go I find It crowd
ed. Your whole city Is overcrowd
ed, nnd the only fear I have is that
you cannot accommodate the great
number of new residents' who are
Hooking here."
Dr. Bosworth has probably visit
ed every city of any else in tho
State tho past year, while attending
to patients, and he Is not given to
talking. Wliatlie says tjt tho growth
of our city Is valuable as tbe testi
mony of n gentleman of high char
acter and great observation. By
locating In Amerlcua he thus shows
hia faith in her future (realnets,
for many; flattering offers have
been made to .him to toeste else
where, as oven Atlanta people are
■etltlouid| him to open hls oflles
here.
