Bill ) ONE WAS INJURED
But Both the Engines Were Badly
Damaged.. .Trains Were Running
Slow Or Fatalities Would
Have Resulted.
Quite a serious wreck occurred on
the Brunswick auil Birmingham rail
road at 11,40 o’clock yesterday west
of Buffalo, about 12 miles from Bruns
wick, and, while not a ixirson was in
jured, two engines were badly damag
ed and will be out of commission far
some time.
The accident was a head-end collis
ion between passenger train No. 30,
hound for Brunswick, and local freight
No. 21, west bound.
Fortunately the two traine were not
running at a very high rate of speed
■which is probably responsible for the
fact that no one was injured. The
passenger was moving at the rate of
about ten miles an hour, while the
freight was not going over seven or
eight. . Neither the engineer on the
passenger or freight saw the other
coming until it was too late to put on
brakes. The train crew, seeing that
a collision was inevitable, jumped
lor their safety and not a man was
injured.
The two engines came together with
terrific force, and both were thrown
from the track. None of the freight
or passenger cars jumped the track,
and, save for a severe shaking up, the
Passengers were uninjured.
Just where the responsibility is to
be placed is not known, but the matter
is being investigated by B. & B. offi
cials, it seems, however that a mis
constinetion of order was the cause.
A wrecking train was quickly made
up and left, for the scene about 1
o'clock and at. once commenced the
work of clearing away the little debris
and trains were moving over the track
as usual last night.

Illinois Preacher Celebrates His Nine
ty-Seventh Birthday.
Streator, 111., Nov. s.—The Rev. By
ron Alden, who celebrated his ninety
seventh birthday today, is the oldest
Methodist minister in the would, be
ing eight months older than Rev. Jos-
Ayres, of Sidney, 0., who has been

ble pulpit preacher, and fills appoint
ments occasionally. He spoke at the
Methodist conference held at Streator
a year ago, when his eloquence and

regular assignment in New York in
1830, ad each is spending liis last years

Brobston, Fendig & Cos.,
Now Have Handsome
Quarters There
MEINS MUCH TO ELORIDI
The Jacksonville Times-Union Devotes
a Column Write-up to the Bruns
wick Firm and Gives Them a J
Big Send Off.
The following is from the Jackson- i
ville Times Union:
“Brobston, Fendig & Cos., the real
estate firm, well known throughout
the south, and who have recently es
tablished their principal oflico in this
city, have just moved into new quar
ters in the telephone exchange build
ing, on Forsyth street opposite the
Duval ’hotel.
"The company has excellent offices
there, including private offices for the,
everal members of tlie firm and a:
conveniently arranged and elegantly
iurnished reception room. ]
“The coming of this enterprising
firm means much for the development
of the resources of Florida. Edwin
Brobston, tlie leading member of the
firm has a large acquaintance through
the south and is known as one of the
most successful developers in this sec
tion of the country. The business of
the firm is one that identifies itself
with a state, not for temporary gain,
but in a manner to lend influence for
the permanent development of tlie-see
tion in which it operates.
Wel| Known in Florida.
“While the firm has just recently
established in Jacksonville, it is well
known, throughout the state, having
engineered some of the most exten
sive land deals known in Florida.
They have had dealing with the saw
mill and naval stores operators upon
an extensive scale, and by the scope '
and character of their dealings have j
established a raiing in Florida which.,
is among the hightest enjoyed by and !
real estate firm in the south. They j
have moved to Jacksonville because !
they appreciated the fact that there
was a wide field for operating here I
and the opportunities for their partic
ular class of real estate business of
fered more in Jacksonville than in any
other town in Florida.
Do Busniess Extensively.
“Broibston, Fendig & Cos., do busi
ness on an extension scale. The char
acter and scope of their business is
not excelled by any southern firm, and
in Georgia they have established an ;
enviable reputation, not only as real
estate men, but as developers of the
section in which they operate. View
ing it it from the past reputation of
the firm, the business men of Jack
sonville, who are actively engaged' l
and deeply interested in the future of
the city and who know the firm by
reputation, are all of the opinion that
their coming to Jacksonville and iden
tifying themselves thoirougjily with
the place means the coming of new
capital and much in the way of devel
opment.
Several Departments.
“The company will divide their bus
iness here into branches. There will
be the city real estate and rental
branch, which will be in charge of
C. E. Riddle, and actice business man
who was formerly manager for Bradley
Watkins & Cos., in the south, on of
the largest companies which ever op
erated in the country. Mr. Riddle will
devote his entire attention to this part
of the business. The Florida timber
Sands, farms, orange groves etc., will
be in charge of Mess. Brobston and
Fendig, who are familiar with the
lauds of the state and who have a
wide acquaintance with the holders of
timbered lands in Florida.
To Induce Settlers to Come.
“The company is to make a special
effort to induce settlers to come to
Florida, and in this connection al
ri :>ly have a large deal on hand for
some of the host farm land in the
state. ■
Means Much for Jacksonville.
Their coming to Jacksonville can
not but result in a great and lasting
advantage to the city and they will'
have the good will of all the business
interests.
“The Brunswick office of the firm,
will be maintained."

SAVANNAH VIEW OF SIIUIFION
— IV ,
Local Knights are Now Much Inter
ested and are Watching the Out
come... New Light on the
Situation.
The Knights oif Pythias wrangle in
Atlanta is still the topic in secret
order circles of the state and the af
fair is being watched with great in
terest by the Knights.
Following from the Atlanta News
gives the latest about the matter:
"Representatives of local Knights
of Pythias, accompanied by counsel,
went to Cartersville this morning for
the purpose of pretesting against the
reinstatement of H. Cronheim, the ex
pelled member of the Capital City
lodge. The trial will be before Grand
Chancellor Milam.
A prominent member of the Capital
City lodge said today that they ex
pected to light the case to a, finish and
that tlie 1,800 members in the sev
eral local lodges almost to a man, had
endorsed the action taken by the Cap
ital City lodge in expelling Mr. Cron
heim.
The hearing at Cartcrsvill will prob
ably be concluded tomorrow morn
ing.”
Here is Another Story.
There seems to bo two stories about
tire trouble in the K. of P. lodges in
Atlanta. The Savant nh Knights say
that it is a case of-• aloofly and the
following from the i orning News is
self explanatory:
“The sensation In Knights of Pythias
circles which ha s been sprung in At
lanta over the attempt j>f the Capital
City lodge to expel H. Orcarheim from
its ranks who has so successfully par
ried the thrusts against him in his
reinstatement though appeal to the
grand chancellor, i by no menus con
fined to, Atlanta, but has spread tlirouh
the entire state and was the general
topic among Savannah pythians yes
terday.
"The news of the probable disband
ment of the seven lodges of tho order
which partly depends upon the ac
tion of the grand chancellor, to whom
a protest was made by four hundred
Atlanta knights, and partly upon tho
supreme lodge;, to which body the case
I will, it is declared, be taken if the
grand chancellor insists upon the re
instatement ol' Mr. Croaiheim, was re
ceived iu local K. of P. circles with
unusual interest, as tho friction be
tween Mr. Crontvim and the Atlanta
lodges appears to have begun last
May when a Savannah knight wad el
ected to the office of grand keeper
of records and seals.
“Mr. Cronhcim, who is editor of the
Pythian Lodge Secret, the official or
gan of the state lodge, is also state
organizer ■■!' the endowment rank, and
the charges that have been brought
against him by the Capital Gity lodge
are, it. is understood, in connection
with this last office. Local Knights
of Pythias, however, are inclined to
believe that animosity said to exist,
between Mr. Chonhcdm a member of
the Capital City lodge, and petty jeal
ousv, i s the cause of the friction.
“Mr. F. Roland Alston, secretary of
the Capital city lodge, am! a promi
nent Knight of Pythias, who is gen
erally known throughout the state, was
a candidate for the office rtf grand
beeper ef records and seals, which
olfic ■ is being h"Irl by Mr. W. H. Leo
pold, !.f this city, who succeeded his
father in that office defeating Mr. Al
s*on by a large majority. At that
time Mr. Cronheitn, in spite of the
fact that he is an Atfnntian, was one
of Mr. Leopold's strongest supporters.
“Mr. Cronheitn is well known in
Knights of Pythias circles, it is tho
general opinion among local knights
that the friendship exit ting between
Mr. Crmtheim and Mr. Leopold, as
well as other local knights, is be
hind the desire of the Capital City
lodge to oust him.”

The retail lumbed dealers oif Sav

Lumber has jumped skyward and
those who are thinking of building or
making additions, will find that it will
cost a great deal more than it did sev

By reason of an ironclad agreement
into which tile lumber dealers iiavo
entered, there has been an advance

of the contractors .say that the jump
