TRESTLE READY FOR TRAINS.
PLANT SYSTEM OFFICIALS DO A LOT
OF HUSTLING.
The named Structure Replaced nl
Down Yesterday Morning—The
Building Operation* Conducted in
the Face of Intense Rent From the
YVreck— Every Precaution * Ind
Been Taken by tlie Hoad to Pre
vent the Trestle From Catching
Fire.
Waycross, On., Feb. 26,-The trestle,
where a riant system train was wrecked,
was rebuilt last night and was ready for
use at 5 o’clock tnis morning. Superin
tendent George \V. Hainc . Superintend* t
of Transportation Haylow, Master of
Trains Wright and other officials visted
the wreck last night and the work was
efficiently directed. The wreck was so in
tensely hot that the work was attended
with difficulty.
Superintendent Haines this afternoon re
marked that the wreck was one of the
lew purely accidental ones from natural
causes that has occurred under his ol>-
eervation. The trestle has been guarded
regularly' for some days by a negro. All
debris, straw and other combustible mat
ter were removed daily from around the
trestle, keeping the place rctnarkab.y
clean. The trestle was new, having been
rebuilt last year. There was, therefore,
preparation against the forest fires which
have raged in that section for some days.
The forest all around the trestle was in
a blaze yesterday afternoon, and the
smoke was blinding. Spurks and fire
brands were wafted from the tops of the
trees and the air was hot. In that way
the trestle caught tiro without the aid of
human agency. It was burning rapidly
before the negro watchman discover* and ii.
The smoke was so dense that he could not
see the blaze at the trestle, though he
stood only a short distance from it.
Upon hearing the noise of the approach
ing vestibule special (he watchman went
to the trestle and made the discovery. He
hoisted a danger signal in vain. The en
gineer was blinded by* the smoke and
could not see it. The train sped past the
watchman and the engine and all the
coaches excepting the rear one crossed the
trestle.
The trestle is about sixty feet long and
four or five feet high. The front end of the
trestle gave way, throwing three coaches
from the track, and three others remained
on the track, and were burned.
The remains of Mrs. Frank D. Holder of
Yonkers, N. Y., who was the only person
killed were sent north this morning. Mr.
Holder left on the same train with his
wife's remains.
The injured who are in the general hos
pital here are, Mr/ M. A. Hopson, J. W,
Hoff, E. C. Clarke and Mrs. E. C. Clarke.
Mrs. Hopson is the only woman who was
seriously injured. She is likely to recover
and her condition to-day is improving. All
the patients and their companions, except
ing Mrs. Hopson, were on the streets to
day walking and driving.
The Plant .System officials are highly
praised by everybody for their prompt
care of the passengers.
SAW TWO BED LINES.
Englaeer Henderson’* Story of the
V’eatibule Wreck.
Engineer Henderson said he did not see
the negro who was reported to have at
tempted to flag the train. The engineer
does not believe there was a man any
where nbout the trestle.
Henderson is regarded as one of the most
trustworthy and thoroughly reliable men
on the road. He is fearless at the throt
tle, and has a good record for getting his
train through on time. He was running
at a rate of sixty miles an hour, when,
Without warning, the train crashed into
the burning tresile.
Henderson said he was peering out of his
window just before the accident occurred.
The forest fires had left a dense smoke, \
and this lay near the ground. He could j
not see through it, but could get occa- j
slonal glimpses through rifts above it. It
waß through one of these that he saw two
red lines before his engine. He only got a
momentary view before he was speeding
across them. These lines were the red-hot
rails, from beneath which the sleepers had
been burned.
When the engineer caught sight of the
red lines of rails his first action was to
reverse his engine. He was too close on
the trestle, however, for anything he
might have done to be effective in stop
ping the train. The engine struck the
rails and passed Bafely over, the engineer
and firemen feeling the rails bend and the
engine sway down a foot or so until the
rails found the ground upon which the
sleepers had rested. The trestle her# was
very low, so that the fall was not great.
Engineer Henderson then turned to watch
his train. The baggage car passed safely
over, the engineer seeing it also drop down
Into the sink and come tip again, fie ex
pected to see the rest of (he (rain follow
over in safety, but the dining ear stuck.
Superintendent of Transportation Hay
low says there will be no investigation
of the wreck. It was so evidently due
to the fires and to no negligence on the
part of employes that an investigation
would be useless.
Railroad men admire the management
that prevented the wreck acting ns an
Impediment to traffic. This wds contin
ued even during the hours the track was
being cleared, the Florida Central and
Peninsular Railroad and the Southern be
ing used for two trains, North bound No.
78 in two section and South bound No. 21.
The Pennsylvania Railroad was notified
by the Plant System Immediately after
the accident of its occurrence. That road
will put on another train to take the
place of the one that was wrecked. The
new train will leave New York on the
schedule time of the one that left the
track of the- Savannah, Florida and Wes
tern.
NEGHO CHILD 111 TUNED TO DEATH.
It* Sknll mid Hones Left in n fan on
n Stump.
Albany, Ga„ Feb. 26.—Information lias
been received here from Warwick of a
horrible affair which occurred tills morn
ing on the plantation of T. J. Harris near
that place. A negro woman living on the
place went off and left her two children,
one of them n cripple, locked inside her
cabin. Shortly after her departure the
cabin was discovered wrapped in flatties,
and was completely destroyed, together
with a nearby dwelling house.
In some miraculous manner the youngest
child escaped before the roof fell in, but
the cripple, aged 5 years, was burned to
n crisp.
After the mother returned the skull end
Beveral bones were dug out of the smoul
dering debris, placed in a pan and left
alone on a nearby stump. At a late hour
of the evening they had not been removed.
The origin of the fire is not known, and
there are no facts to warrant the belief
that the mother tired the house for the
purpose of ridding herself o t, the deformed
child.

LEVEL-HEADED FARMERS.
Giving More Attention to Crop* Than
to Politic* or Spain.
Sylvania, Ga., Feb. 26.—The sizzling tide
of politics has not disturbed the even tenor
of the. Screven county Democrats to any
extent thus far, and is not apt to do bo
until their crops are fairly under way. Just
now, the guano question is a more import
ant one with them than the Gubernatorial.
They have been hauling their fertilizer
home and putting it under shelter during
this beautiful weather, and are not much
con, • rned about political platforms, so
early in the season.
As to war—there has been some slight
degree of hostility evinced against the
Spanish peanut, allhough the majority of
our farmers are forced to admit that it is
better for forage ami stock than the
American species. And then, there is the
Spanish yam—there will be war to the
knife between that and the new issue, or
poor-land potato, with the ehances very
much in favor of the former. This seems
lo be the prevalent opinion in regard to
the impending crisis,
(Misses Dicie Nunnally and Amanda
Scott, who have been spending some time
in Waycross, have returned to Sylvania.
The Baptists of Sylvania are raising
funds for the removal of their church
nearer up into town.
County School Cojnmlssioner H. J. Ar
nett now handles the school books for
Screven, which he sells to the pupils at
cost.
Much fencing has been destroyed by fire
in the county the last few days. In sev
eral instances out-houses and barns were
burned before the flames could be stopped.
Such a dry winter, and, consequently,
much devastation by forest fires, has not
been kii9wn in years.
STEPHEN H. WESTON DEAD.
He YYits One of the Most Influential
Citizen* of Albany.
Albany, Ga., Feb. 26.—Albany mourns j
the death of Capt. Stephen R. Weston, j
one of the oldest and most influential cit- j
izens of Southwest Georgia and a resident |
of this city stnee 1876. He died suddenly !
at his home on Jefferson street this morn- |
ing about 11 o’clock of neuralgia of the
heart.
About ten days ago while looking after
his extensive saw mill interests at Enig
ma, in Worth county, he was stricken
with the malady which to-day caused his
death. He rallied sufficiently to be I
brought to Albany and was soon regarded
as past all danger.
While conversing with some friends who
had called to see him this morning, he
sat up suddenly in taxi, gasped once or
twice and fell back dead.
No man has done more for Albany and
Dougherty county than Capt. Weston,
and the whole community is mourning
his death. He was at one time editor and
proprietor of the old Albany News, and
was formerly quite wealthy. He leaves a
large family connection. The funeral will
occur to-morrow afternoon from the
Methodist Church and the remains will
be interred In Oakview cemetery.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 27, 189a
WANTS TO ROAST WOODFORD.
J. HAMILTON LEWIS KICKS ON BAN
aUET TO SPANISH CABINET.
Congressman of the Opinion That
the Banquet Should Not Hare Been
Given While the Inquiry Into the
Dlsanter of the Maine Wa* Pend
ing—Sundry Civil Hill Again Under
Consideration,
Washington, Feb. 26.—The House resum
ed consideration of the sundry civil bill
to-day immediately after the reading of
the Journal, the pending amendment being
that of Mr. Tongue, Rep., of Oregon, to
appropriate $150,000 for Y'aqulma Bay, Ore
gon.
Mr. Dockery, Dem., of Missouri, vigor
ously’ opposed the amendment, which, he
said, would make the government liable
for an expenditure of more than $1,000,000
on a project that was an engineering im
possibility.
The amendment was lost by a vote of 26
to 76.
An amendment appropriating $300,000 for
the harbor of Cleveland, 0., offered by Mr.
Burton, Rep., of Ohio, was adopted.
Mr. Lewis, Dcm., of Washington, creat
ed something of a sensation by offering
the following resol uution as an amend
ment:
"Resolved, That Congress disapproves of
Minister Woodford tendering a banquet to
the Spanish cabinet in behalf of the Unit
ed States, and expresses the sense that
the relations between the United States
and Spain should, until the Inquiry as to
the cause of the Maine disaster be deter
mined, remain only in such formal rnd
official way as is demanded by the needs
of the respective nations.”
Mr. Lewis was proceeding to remark <n
the "ghoulish spectacle” of Minister
\\ oodford banquetting the Spanish cabinet
while the country was mourning the loss
of 250 brave sailors W'ho wore the victims
of Spanish hate, when Mr. Cannon inter
posed a point against the amendment and
was promptly sustained by the chair.
Mr. Lewis attempted to debate the point
of order, saying the amendment was cer
tainly pertinent to the paragraph under
consideration—which happened to relate to
national cemeteries.
”1 am opposed,” he said, “to our peo
ple burying their dead while our official
representative abroad is feating their mur
derers.” '
At this point Mr. Lewis was cut off and
the incident closed.
An amendment by Mr. Moody, Rep., of
Massachusetts, and warmly supported by
Mr. Fitzgerald, Dein., of Massachusetts,
to increase the appropriation for Boston
harbor from $lW),<X>O to $250,000, was
adopted.
An amendment offered by Mr. Grosve
nor, Rep., of Ohio, appropriating $28,880
for the continuation of the publication of
“Records of the Rebellion” was adopted.
At 5:15 o’clock the committee of the
whole arose without having completed the
consideration of the bill.
Mr. McCleary, Rep., of Minnesota, was
recognized by (he speaker on a question
of personal privilege. He said that a pur
ported interview with him was published
this morning relative to the disaster to
the Maine. He said the interview was un
authorized and did not represent his views
on the subject.
The House at 5:20 o'clock adjourned un
til Monday.
SENSATION AT SUNNY SIDE.
Mnr*linl Chnrged With Larceny anti
Suspected of Arson.
Griffin, Ga., Feb. 26.—Last night while
the debating society of the Sunny Side
public school was in session and the citi
zens of that village were all congregated
in the school building, J. R. Porter, the
marshal at that place, rushed in and in.
formed Prof. W. G. Brown that his home
was on fire. The crowd rushed to the
tire, which was soon extinguished.
Later on in the night Marshal Porter
went io a neighbor’s home and called for
the lady of the house. He w’as driven
away, and this morning a committee call
ed on him and advised him to leave town,
which he Immediately did, coming toward
Griffin.
After ills departure his landlady discov
ered in his room several articles which did
not belong there, and an investigation
proved them to be (he possessions of Prof,
and Mrs. Brown, which Porter had taken
from their home the night before.
The Griffin police were notified, and Por
ter was arrested and placed in Jail on a
charge of larceny from the house. It Is
thought by many that he also set fire to
Brown’s home after stealing the goods.
Porter claims he was drunk.
SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE.
Call of tile Ducket for the March
Term to Be Delayed.
Atlanta, Ga.. Feb. 26.—The Supreme
Court, which has been hearing arguments
in cases continuously for the past six
weeks, to-day issued the following impor
tant order referring to the call of the dock
et for the March term: “Owing to the fact
that a large number of the cases of the
October term, 1597, which have been ar
gued, have not yet been decided, and as
much time for their consideration will be
required, the call of the civil docket of the
March term, 1898, will not begin on the
first Monday in next month, but due no
tice will be given of the time when the call
of that docket will be commenced. Argu
ments in criminal cases will be heard on
the days fixed for that purpose under the
rules and cases especially set will be heard
as may be ordered.”
The case Involving the Savannah Fire
Commission is still before the court with
out further consideration than the argu
ment, which was heard three weeks ago. It
is not likely lhat this case will be decid
ed in the Immediate future as It involves
important points and the court will take
plenty of time with It.
TRAGEDY AT THOMASVILLE.

to-night which will. In ail probability, re
sult in the death of two well known

Piney Woods Hotel, got on a drunk and
fired three shots into the body of his
