TWO MEN KILLED
BY FALLING EARTH
Two negroes were killed Wednesday
morning and a doien laborers, white
and black, narrowly escaped death by
the fall of a mass of earth at West
Hunter and Mangum streets, where the
Atlanta, Brunswick and Atlantic term!,
nnls are being graded.
The dead are Bob Hall, of 353 But
ler street, and Frank Matthews, whose
address Is unknown. George Mathis
and Mike Moncla, white, were slight
ly Injured by the mass of earth which
covered them.
Just opposite the Temple Baptist
church Is the big excavation of the
terminals, where Bcott Brothers, con
tractors, are digging deep into the soil
with steam shovels and a big gang of
men. Abutting the curb line on West
Hunter street Is a perpendicular em
bankment more than 25 feet high. Its
soil streaked with crevices caused by
heavy blasting.
Wednesday morning a big gang '
at work at the foot of the cliff, digging
still farther under the treacherous soil.
One of the foremen saw the earth be
ginning to give way at the top, and
yelled a warning. Most of the men
Jumped from under the falling clay,
but several were knocked down and es
caped with difficulty. Two failed to
escape, and were burled deep under
the earth, at least 75 cubic yards cov
ering them.
In an effort to save the two work
men, the whole gang was set to work,
and for forty-fivo minutes they dug
like beavers to remove the mass of
loose earth. When the two negroea
were reached at last they were dead,
having been crushed and suffocated.

FREIGHT TRAFFIC
ONLY GAINER BY
TRACKAGE REAL
Not Believed That Seaboard
Will Operate Passenger
Trains Over Georgia.
Although President W. A. Garrett, of
the Seaboard haa left Atlanta, gome of
the other officiate who came here with
him to arrange with the Georgia rail
road, for trackage rights are still here
and were busy Wcdneaday perfecting
plans under the new arrangement.
All during the morning First Vice
President L. Sevier was engaged In
consultation with General Freight
Agent C. It. Capps, of Norfolk: As*
alatant General Freight Agent J, A,
Pride, of Atlanta, and several other of.
flclals. Vice President Sevier will re
main In Atlanta until Friday night, and
while here direct his attention to mat
ters connected with freight rates and
the railroad commission.
While It It admitted by railroad men
that a trackage arrangement with the
Georgia railroad, whereby tho Sea
board may run passenger trains In and
out of the old union depot over the
tracks of the Georgia railroad, will save
considerable delay and the backing out
of trains, all agree that the arrange
ment to run Seaboard trains over the
Georgia road to Macon is of doubtful
benefit.
• No Passenger Traffic.
In fact passenger traffic by this route
and then over the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah to Savannah from Atlanta Is
considered out of the question. It le
pointed out that In order to get to Ma
con over the Georgia road from At'
lanta, a Journey of 302 miles Is neeessl.
tated, while the Southern Is only 33
miles and the Central 103. It le nec
cssary to run trains away from Ma
con to Camak and then back In
southwesterly direction to Macon.
While none of the details of the ar
rangement with the Georgia road have
been mado public. It Is generally be
lieved that nothing more than a freight
traffic arrangement la being consid
ered. This will put the Seaboard In a
position to receive through freight In
Savannah for Atlanta. Such freight
would be handled hy the Seaboard
from Savannah to Vldalla; then over
the M„ D. nnd S. to Macon and from
Macon hauled by Georgia railroad en
gines over that road 202 miles to At
lanta. Whllo such a route Is over 100
miles longer, It Is pointed out by Sea
board officials that It can be handled
quicker than probably the ..Central or
Southern could handle It on account of
the congested condition of the freight
yards. It Is said that this freight could
be on Its way to Atlanta- by a longer
route while It would be lying In (he
Southern or Central yards at Macon.
The trackage arrangement In Atlanta
will save the Seaboard trains from
making the big loop around the city In
getting out end from turning trains
around on the "Y" end In this manner
time will be saved. Such an arrange
ment was sought at the time the Sea
board entered Atlanta several years
ago, but was blocked at that time.
In nny event, neltlcr the Central nor
the Southern officials seriously contem
plate any serious competition from the
Seaboard from the new arrangement.

Idsal Summer Suitings
and Separate Skirtings

A NON it is summer, that glorious time of the year when the promises of spring are fulfilled, and everything
' radiates beauty to excess. But the white sheer waist aud dress can not serve every day and ever}- occa
sion. Lightweight woolen weaves must do their share. And these we tell of here are the very things.
Summery in weight, summery woven into each design and color.
Shepherd checks in tans and grays; in fact, the plaids and stripes are found in great variety.
White or cream grounds, with tiny hair-line checks, with a stripe of color intersecting at inch apart inter*
vals.
Again, it’s a black or navy blue ground, with hair-line check of white, barred off with dark over plaids.
Or a pale green, crossed with lines of pink, most beautifully harmonized, the con trast so delicate that they
never clash.
Tans in two tones are included in several patterns.
Fancy mixed weaves in a commingling of violets and green, in an effect that’s almost iridescent.
Aud there are solid colors; light and medium grays. 44 to 54 inches wide.
1.50 and 1.75 Light Weight
Wool Weaves. At
Light summer effects also in these—two tones of tan or blue in shepherd checks.
Stripes in which the stripe, is a mere hair line or equal to the background that show
The colors are all soft and most happily combined.
Some of our very finest imported all-wool weaves.
