ENGINEER CRUSHED UNDER LOCOMOTIVE THE BLACK STARS SHOW THE LOCATION OF THE ENGINE HOUSES IN ATLANTA. It Is shown that'in the big territory west of the railroad tracks there Is not a single engine and compa nies must cross by one of the viaducts to reach a blaze in the thickly populated disirict. STATE UPHELD Roads Must Restore Rate Prescribed by Law. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 28.—The Louisville and Nashville and the South and North Alabama railroads must re store the rates In the state that were In effect on January last. In accord ance with what la known aa the maxi mum rate bill, passed by the last ses sion of the legislature. This Is the ef fect of an order Issued by Judge Thom as G. Jones, of the United States court, ireaterday afternoon. The rates must >e put ha ' First Ward an’d Part of Fifth Help- :; less. Atthough the city of Atlanta hat' ten fire company stations now In use, and another In course of erection, there la one section of the city, embracing ter ritory almost equal In extent to the site of the city of Macon, ‘which la practically without protection from fire. This Is the section of the city which lies west from the Terminal station and beyond the Western and Atlantic and the Southern railroads. It covers some thing over 2,200 acres, and embraces all of the First ward and a portion of the Fifth. Under the present conditions, should a fire occur In any portion of this sec tion of the city, there are only three avenues by which a fire company from the section east of tha railways men tioned could reach the scene of'the fire. These are Jones avenue, the Magnolia street bridge and the Nelson street viaduct. The Peters street viaduct could not be used to advantage, be cause It skirts the section of territory which is now unprotected, and doca not lead directly Into It. Means Long Run.

The exact amount of deposlti Is not allotted, but It Is understood that there will be 25,000,001) weekly In New York. The first effect of this announce ment was the engagement of 2600,000 gold for export to Germany. save the two mentioned, resisted the act making the ratee in offect on all roads on ths first of the year, tha max. lmum rates for all time. These two not only resisted, but raised rates on 28 articles of building material and raw material and other products of like character, so far as the Louisville and "'ashvllle goes, and nlnsteen by thi outh and North. The atata did not resist'the Injunc tions against the other laws, bnt did re sist this one. The two roads will now become on the same basis as the oth ers, and all will now go Into a common cause to the end of tho litigation for tho determination of whether or not tho rates art fair os put in by all of the bills. The Judge holds that the assertion that the Increases were neceaaary to prevent Inequalities and Injustice la not a Question to be determined on a pre liminary Injunction which can be left over until the final hearing. Tha bond of tho Louisville and Nashville, upon which It may coma In under the In junction granted all the roads. Is placed at <100,000, and that of the South and North was placed at <160,000. This decision has nothing to do with the lower freight and passenger rates enjoined by the Louisville and Nash ville. Raleigh, N. C„ Aug. 28.—In the state supreme court this morning. Colonel W. B. Rodman, attorney for the Southern Railway, made a motion to have additional papers sent up from the superior court In the 220.000 pen alty suit. Ex-Governor Ayooek, on behalf of tha state, made a motion to advance the case on the docket so as It can be heard at an early date. Both motions will be heard tomorrow morn ing. Attorneys for the state say that the transcript as sent up Is complete and there Is no occasion for nuch motion by tbe Southern's attorneys. limits of the city. Thus It happens when a fire company from the Alabama street station, the Peters street station, or the station near Thurmond and Ma rietta streets, Is called upon to respond to a fire In the extreme western eectlon of the city, it would necessitate a run of about one and one-half miles on a straight line, but when the winding streets are taken into'conslderatlon the run Is almost doubled In length. The accompanying map, which was made by Civil Enflneer O. F. Kauff man. and which was furnished Tho Georgian by W. P. Walthall by per- mlaaton of Mr. Kauffman, shows the lo cation of the present fire companies and also shows the extent of the ter ritory which Is now almost without protection from fire. In speaking of the necessity for In creased protection from fire for the western section, Forrest Adair said: "This section of the city west from the Western and Atlantic railroad and the Southern railroad Is practically at the mercy of the flames. Should a fire originate In that section of the city and :aln any headway. It would sweep a ■st area before a fire company could reach it. Thlokly Populated. “The western section Is one of the oldest sections of the city, and tt ts very thickly populated. It seems strange to me that no fire companies have yet been located there, and I am surprised that the members of council from the First and Fifth wards have not men tioned the matter to the city authori ties. A large portion of the western section Is occupied by factories, and It seems that they should certainly have >)e protection In case of a fire, h my opinion, two additional com panies, located on the west side, would afford all the protection that ia needed. Pssaad Bad Checks. Columbus', fit., Aug. 28.—Otis Mat thews, a negro with several atlases. Is In jail here charged with passing If one was located near Gray or Ken nedy street, and the other near West Hunter and Davla streets, I believe they could cover the entire western section now unprotected, and would save the other companies from many long and hard runs.” Work on-tbe new (Ire engine house on North avenue, In .the northern section of the city, has alreadjr begun, and when It Is finished a large portion of the city which has been as far re moved from fire protection as the west ern section will be partly protected. The building will cost about 818,000, and will be finished about January 1.
