REV. W.

T. EODOEBS' HOME WAS BADLY DAMAGED. Myriad of Chimney Sweeps Scatter Soot Oyer the Booms of the House. 'A peculiar accident happened at home of Rev. W.

T. Rodgers on Nortn Broadway near Wells street crossing yesterday afternoon about six o'clock. With a great whir and flutter, and uttering their peculiar cry, a myriad of chimney sweeps swooped down from the clouds and lighted in the chimney over the residence of Rer. Rodgers. The family within heard the commotion caused by the hundreds of birds and hastened out to see the trouble.

The birds were simply pouring into the chimney' in seemingly countless thousands, enough It would seem, to fill the chimney from top to bottom. After this continued -for a while the birds began to fly away from the chimney, their places being taken by others of the stream which continued to pour down the tr. Rodgers and wife hastened within and found that the birds were scratching through the papers and sacks with which chimneys are stuffed in the warmer weather, and soot was being scattered all over the house. They immediately began to barricade the chimneys with additional papers, but the chimney sweeps battered through the fortifications, and again the dust and soot covered the room, some of the birds getting into the rooms and carrying it almost all over the house. Dr.

Rodgers gave particular attention to his library, while Mrs. Rodgers looked after the parlor, but these rooms as well as others over the house, were well nigh ruined, and Dr. Rodgers fears that his library is badly damaged, since all of the books are covered with the soot from the chimneys. He and the, other members of the family who engaged in battling to keep the birds from getting through were literally covered with the soot, and he did not arrive at church until some time after the usual hour last night. Dr.

Rodgers regards the accident as most peculiar occurring at the time it did. That the birds should attack this particular chimney in such a manner is remarkable, especially when such resistance was made, and efforts made to frighten away the birds. The damage to books furniture, carpets, curtains and in fact to everything in the boose, may amount to several hundreds of dollars. VCHIEP ATKINS DEPARTS.

Visit of the Machine "Was an Inter-eiting Event to the Residents Of the litUe Town. Sevierrille saw the second automobile in its history yesterday when a Koox-ville machine visited that place. M. I. Wolf and Will Kinxel.

of thU city, decided that they would take a run to the capital of Sevier county yesterday afternoon just to see what shape the roads were in and if it would be possible to run an automobile mail line to that place from, Knoxvllle with the roads as they now are. They left Knoxville at 1:15 o'clock and made the run to Se-vlerville in two hours and fifty minutes, taking things as they came and doing the best they could, aa to speed, when they struck a stretch of road. (Speaking last night of the trip Mr. Wolf said that the road is fierce in some places but in others it is fairly good. Not knowing where to expect the bad places they had to run very 'cautiously and hence consumed more time than they otherwise would have done bad they been familiar with the condition of the pike iu entire length.

Oa the return trip they made much better time than they did going up, but dark overtook them when seven miles out 'from the city. They had come that far in one hour and forty-five minutes and would have been able to come to the court house in two hour and a half at the longest bad not darkness fallen. Mr. Wolf believes that an automobile mail line could be established and operated even with the roads in their present condition, but the government prefers to wait until the two counties of Knox and Serler de? the necessary amount of work on the pike to put it in suitable condition and so that fast time can be made between, the two places without danger of damage to the machine which will be placed on the lme. The machine-, which made the run of yesterday ts owned" by.

Mf. Wolf and is known as Toledo steam carriage. Only one tank of water was used in making the run and only one tank of gasoline. Mr. Wolf will not know-until be measures np his gasoline today just how much was consumed.

The visit of the automobilists to Be-Tierville created great deal of interest at this place as this is the second time that the little place hae ever been visited by one of these 'gasoline buggies." When the machine entered the town, and in fact all along the route people came out of their houses to get a good look at it When -wi brought to a stop on the public square of Seviemlle it was surrounded by scores of persons who were snxious to thotoughly investigate it The first auto which ever made the trip to SevlervHIe owned and operated by A- Sanford, of this eiW. i The distance to Seviemlle as registered by the cyclometer is; twenty-ecven miles. i It should be stated that both counties will rebuild their portions of the pike, Knox county- already being busily engaged on. the job. 11 CHUECH HOTES.

i Hon. Jesse L. Rogers bad a narrow escape -from death Sunday afternoon as he was driving down University hill in the direction of the main entrance to the grounds. i The accident happened about 3 o'clock. The shaft to the buggy in which Mr.

Rogers was seated gave way from the place where it is bolted to the singletree and fell against the horse's heels; The animal began running away, but fortunately for tjie occupant of the buggy, the horse drew away from the buggy carrying the broken shaft and most of the harness with him. The buggy bad been given a fast start and was running rapidly down the hill with no way for it to be checked by the oc-cirpant. It ran through the big gate and struck a post just outside. Mr. Rogers saw the impending danger from the collision with the post and braced himself for it, and as a result of his caution, was not injured; A number of people saw the accident from the Broadway and Circle Park car which was passing east on Main avenue at the time.

The horse ran on up town, going at a furious gait, until he reached the livery stable on Prince street. The owner of the livery stable at once telephoned Mr. Ralph L. Rogers that bis father's horse had just arrived with the broken shaft at his heels. The son hurried np town and on the way learned that the accident had occurred at the University.

Me ran all the way over there, some one reporting to him that his father had been thrown from the buggy which had struck a post and was then lying in a gully. He was glad indeed to find his father nninjured. The buggy was badly smashed. I To Enforce a Hew Ordinance.
