Mrs. Lorha Crabb, Under
Arrest for Abandoning
Child, Killed by Dis
charge of Officer’s Pistol.
Dublin, Ga., March 29.—Last night
on the Wrlghtsvllle and Tennille pas
senger train at Lovett a pistol tell
from the pocket of Deputy Sheriff John
A Walden and was discharged. The
ball entered the right eye of Mrs. Lor-
na Crabb, piercing the brain and caus
ing her death in about an hour.
Mrs. Crabb was in the custody of
the deputy, and a man by the name of
"E. M. Joiner was trying to take her
from him. Joiner had Mrs. Crabb’s
satchel and was going to the door of
the coach with it. In the scuffle the
pistol fell from the pocket of the of
ficer, with the above result.
There were a number of'people on
the car who testify that the killing
was an accident. Among the passen-
gers were Superintendent Hollomon.
) •
of the "Wrlghtsvllle and Tennille road,
and Presiding Elder Matthews, of this
district. They exonerate the deputy.
Mrs. Crabb was arrested in Dublin
on a warrant sworn out by Mrs. "Wy
att, mother of the woman, who
charged her with deserting her "chil
dren. She left Meadows," Johnson
county, some time ago with Joiner,
leaving three children thorp. She was
arrested in Dublin on Wednesday by
Sheriff Prince, who placed her in
charge of Walden to carry her to
Meadows. The woman died shortly
after the train reached Meadows.
Joiner asked that she be placed in
his custody even after it was seen
that she was dying, but the officer re
fused to do this. The satchel "which
Joiner tried to take from the train
contained a pistol and a box of cart
ridges. No blame is attached to the
officer, who, it is claimed, was sim
ply endeavoring to do his full duty.

Special to The Herald.

several Important cases which are scheduled for hearing next week be
fore the United States Supreme Court.

tifcally on the line dividing the two states, have damaged fruit and other

Discussed Today at Har
monious Meeting Here of
Determined' Representa
tives of Albany, Camilla,
Newton and Cairo.
The promoters of the projected rail
road from Cairo to Albany met In this
city at noon today fob the purpose of
discussing the situation, comparing
notes, etc;; and arranging to carry for-
ward thp proposed enterprise.
Cairo needs another railroad, and
.the people of ;that. growing town are
determined to secure if- They have
gone about the undertaking in the
proper manner and with the proper
.spirit of local enterprise, all of which-
is promising of early success.
Cairo is the county seat of the new
county of Grady, and is in the center
of the richest cane belt of the state.
Hundreds of cars of cane syrup are
shipped from that market annually,
not to mention the matter of more
than a million pounds of tobacco, oth
er valuable agricultural products, and
a great deal of lumber.
The proposed line will extend from
Albany southward to Newton, crossing
the Flint river there and following the
graded bed of the old Camilla & Cuth-
bert road to Camilla. From Camilla
southward to,pairo would be a straight
shoot, and the line would eventually
be carried on to the port of Apalachi
cola. It would "traverse one of the
richest agricultural and timbered sec
tions of the South.
Those in Albany this morning as
representatives of the principally In
terested towns were W. C. Jones and
J. F. Stone, o^ Cairo," S. S. Bennet
and F. S. Perry, of Camillj; and C. F.
Norris, Howell Williams, John O. Per
ry and Benton Odom, of Newton.
These gentlemen were met at the
Third National Bank by the’following
Albanians: Messrs. S. B. Brown, Mor
ris WeBlosky, J: R. "Whitehead, L. E.
Welch, John D. Pope, H. A. Tarver,
R. A. Hall, C. W. Rawson, J. A. Betje
man, Joseph Ehrlich and J. S. Crews.
The meeting was an entirely satis
factory one. It was evident that all
present meant business, and would
waste no time in matuiing their plans.
The representatives of Camilla, New
ton and Cairo promised the support
of their respective communities, and
Albany’s cordial co-operation was
pledged.
The following resolution, vrhlch was
offered by Mr. Weslosky, was unani
mously adopted:
‘Resolved, That wo, citizens of Al
bany, assembled by invitation with a
committee from Cairo, Camilla and
Newton, Ga, for the purpose of fur
thering a proposed railroad from Al
bany via Newton, Camilla, Cairo and
Quincy to the Gulf of Mexico, are in
sympathy with the movement and will
lend our support tD the effort and ren
der such assistance at this end as may
be deemed necessary and expedient.”
It is considered more than a possi
bility than the Albany & Northern
railway will become interested in the
movement. It announced,. some time
ago, a plan to build from Albany to
Newton, thence to" Colquitt, Miller
county, and on to the Gulf. It may
suit A. & N. interests as well to go by
way of Newton, Camilla and Cairo.
By the route proposed, it will be a
line of fifty-four miles from Albany to
Cairo. The prospect appears good for
carrying the enterprise through with
but little delay.' The smaller towns
are undoubtedly very much in earn
est,: and Albany can be depended upon
to do her full part-

APPEAL TD THE PRESIDENT.
He
Is Asked to Appoint a Commission to Settle
Wage Scaler^
I WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3 0.—President Roosevelt today author
ized the publication of two telegrams received by him last night—one from
John C. Winder, an operator, and the other from John Mitchell, president
of the United Mine Workers of America, and Francis L. Robbins, the larg
est coal operator In the Pittsburg district.
The Winder message suggests that the President appoint commission
ers to investigate all matters which, In its judgment, have a bearing on
the wage scale which should be paid all classes of labor in the coal mines
in the territory involved. ',

signed by Winder, saying it does not represent the real’facts. They assert
that, one-half the total tonnage mined in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, and Illinois Is produced by operators willing to pay a compromise
scale.
