The Coavkta Are Playing Havoc a
Cayaaaa.
Uiadon strpi 21. A aprrlal d la
patch from Parts nay* the dr pur rep
rraratlng Preach Guina in tbr cham

ing that a mutiny ha* taken place

munition there. They are now, »<-

principal prison and may aticcerd In
freeing four thousand convicts con
fined In the building. Reinforcement*
have been telegraphed for. but It 1*
aald they will not arrive In lime to
suppress the mutiny.
The l rial of Plcquart and Ixtble*. on
the charge of revealng the document*
concerning the national defense, was
to have begun today. The public
prosecutor, however, asked tor an ad
journment. on the ground that the
prosecution of Plcquart had been or
dered by the minister of war. Labo
rl, who waa counsel for Zola during
the latter’* famous trial. Indignantly
opposed adjournment, which ho said
was an attempt to hand over Plcquart
Into the clutches of the military au
thorities.
Plcquart then arose and made a
statement which caused a sensation.
He said:
■ This is perhaps the last time I shall
sneak In public. I shall sleep perhaps
In the military prison Cherlee Midi,
there Wire I wish to declare if I find
there a strangling cord. Lemlcler, plc
ard, or razor of Col. Henry, it will be
murder, for 1 have no Idea of commit
ting suicide.”
The audience was intensely moved,
and shouted “Vive Plcquart!” The
judges, however, after a short dellber
atlon. decided to indefinitely adjourn
the case, and Plcquart was led away
between policemen..

TREE ACROSS TRACK.
Did Soma One Try to Wreck the
Southern?
Yesterday the io coming Southern
train only misaed being wrecked by a
1 few .'eet.
About a mile from Hamburg there la
a curve and a ateep embankment. Aa
the train came around the curve It waa
ahead of time and running slower than
uauol Tbl# I* that saved It. for a pine
some ninety feet long was laying
across the track.
The engine was Mopped within a few
feet of the obstacle. The track waa
cleared, the train reaching the city
about half an hour late.
There are two opinions expressed.
One is that an attempt was made to
wreck the train by cutting the tree
across the track.
The other opinion and the one ex
preaed by most of thr passengers Is
that someone was cutting the tree and
It accidentally fell ncross the tracks.
The person then became frlghteuedand
ran away.
This is probably the solution, as the
stump of the tree whs some thirty feet
from the butt, shoving that the tree
hit and bounced over the track.
The authorities, however, In view of
the fact that several of the trains (tim
ing | n have had narrow escapes, will
Investigate the* matter thoroughly.
Bridge Row Improved.
Work has been commenced on the
Improvement of Bridge Row. Already
a force of hands are laying the curb.
As soon as thlß Is finished the street
v/Bl be graded, the sidewalks rolald.
and Bridge Row will be one of the
smoothest thoroughfares in the city of
Augusta.
Completed By June.
The road from Denmark to Robbins,
on the Charleston and Western Caro
lina, via Barnwell, is now an assured
fact. Work on (he road will begin
Bhortly and it Is expected the road will
be completed by next June.
Mr. Wideman Here.
Mr. W. P. Wideman, the well known
lecturer, is In the city today. Mr. Wlde
man’s “Hit the Grit” Is full of wit, wis
dom and Tun. He has been called the
I*ark Twain of South Carolina.
