Train Wreckers Escape

Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 29. - No trace has been found of the three men supposed to have wrecked the train on the Birmingham Mineral railway over the Cahaba river Sunday morning. Twenty-seven people were killed and eeven injured as a result of the work of fiends, who derailed the train on a trestle bridge 110 feet above the bed oL the Cahaba river. The cars caught fire and gave out so much heat that the rescuers could not save those imprisoned in the debris. The cars burned to embers before the arrival of wellequipped relief trains and physicians. The flreman's escape was little short of miraculous. He jumped as the train feil and struck in four feet of water. He then rushed away, apparently halfcrazed. Three rough-looking men were seen to come out of the woods soon aftfer the train took its plunge and are said to have gone through the cars before the fire gained headway. They are believed to be the train-wreckers. It is thought that a rail was removed, as the steam was sliut off on the engine.
