NAPTHA LAUNCH WRECKED.
The I’aul Jones Whs Destroyed by Her
Kugine Hurst lug.
Biloxi, Miss, Jim. 21—The fate of
the missing yacht Paul Joues, which
left New Orleans oil Jan. 3 for Pensa
cola, has at last been solved, positive
ftews being received here to the effect
that her gasoline engine exploded, and
all on board, a party of eight, were
either instantly killed or drowned soon
after the disaster.
The United States lighthouse tender
Pansy, Captain Fields, which has been
engaged for the past three days in the
search of the missing party, has arrived
in Biloxi with the intelligence that, the
wreckage of the yacht had been found
on Breton island, 18 miles front Pass a
l’Outre. The report brought by the
mate and a sailor on the Pansy leaves
no doubt as to the fate of the yacht and
of those on board.
The mate says the wreckage was scat
tered all over the island, and among
other things picked up were the fore
mast of the vessel, a plank bearing me
name “Paul Jones,” a mirror, a table,
new tires of a bicycle, a yawl with bow
crushed in, and several other minor ar
ticles.
No trace of any of the missing per
sons was discovered.
The Paul Jones had the Mlowing
pleasure seekers on board:
Joseph Brinkman, Louisville.
Miss Florence Taggart, daughter of
Mayor Taggart, Indianapolis.
Miss Margerie Woodland, daughter
of George Woodland, vice president
Prairie State bank, Chicago.
Colonel Harry 0 Yocum, St. Louis.
Miss Florence Ymcuin, St. Louis, his
daughter.
The crew consisted of three men,
whose names are unknown.
NEW ROAD TO BE BUILT.
liiue Will Extend From Anderson, S.
C., to Carabeile, Fla.
Macon, Jan. 21. —lt has developed
that Macon men are interested in an
other railroad. It has not transpired
that actual cash investment is involved
in the lending of the name of the Ma
con people to the undertaking to build a
road from Anderson, S. C., to Cara
beile, Fla., but it is certain that Messrs.
George A. Smith, the president of the
chamber of commerce, Mr. Howard
Smith and Mr. T. J. Carling appear
among the incorporators of a road to
be built between these points.
The charter for the road is now being
applied for in the counties through
which the road runs. English capital
is, it is said, behind the scheme, but
just who the men are it is not yet given
out. In fact the whole undertaking
seems to be shrouded in a good deal of
mystery and the incorporators have
kept the plans of the road a profound
secret, so that the announcement that
they were interested in a railroad seems
to have created no small sensation.
Mr. George A. Smith, speaking of the
matter, said that the road would be
built and that it would be a big thing
for the whole south in that the road was
destined to play a very important part
in the future of business with the south
ern ports and the Nicaraguan trade.
The incorporators seem to think that
there is ample money here for the un
dertaking, that is to say that the money
will be forthcoming when the English
men are called upon to put it up. They
will themselves take stock in the road.
It is said that the road is an outcome
of or in connection with the Black Dia
mond road about which so much has
been said in the newspapers.

the president.

votes, McGraw 4(5 and Goff 1, necessary

gress. For five years he was West Vir
ginia’s member of the Republican na
tional committee and during the entire
time was a member of the executive
committee.

ASTOUNDING CHARGE MADE,
Hill Filed at Memphis Against Arm
strong and Dawes.
Memphis, Jan. 25. —Wiliiam Cox has
filed a bill iu the chancery court ol
Shelby county against Charles G. Dawes,
comptroller of currency, and H. C.
Armstrong, the cashier of the Conti
nental National bank of Memphis. The
bill charges that Armstrong is running
the bank in a reckless and negligent
manner in open violation of law, re
gardless of rights of stockholders and
seemingly w-ith the full knowledge and
consent of the comptroller.
It is charged that the cashier made
overdrafts amounting to over $45,000,
which were not reported, and under the
head of “checks and other cash items"
false entries, amounting to thousands
of dollars, were made and published,
yet the comptroller took no steps to pro
tect the stockholders.
The charges are most astonnding.
Local and federal grand juries are lia
ble to investigate.

WHITECAFS MURDER TWO.
Old Man and His Son Called to tfid
Door and Shot I) wn.
Albany, Ga., Jan. 24.—The details of
a shocking tragedy that occurred neat
Colquitt, Miller county, have been re
ceived here. At a late hour a party oi
armed men. disguised as whitecaps,
went to the house occupied by old man
Rust in and family and called to the in
mates to come out. Old man Rustiu
arose and opened the door, his appear
ance being the signal for a volley of
shots, some of which struck him, bring
ing him to the floor
A grown sou and daughter of the old
man, on hearing the firing, became
frightened, and. presumably, attempted
to escape, but they, too, were fired upon
by ihe mob and struck down. The sou
died in a few minutes, and advices just
received here state that old man Rustin
has also passed away from the effects of
his wounds.
The daughter is not dangerously in
jured, and will recover.
The Rustins were respectable, indus
trious people. The better class of Mil
ler county’s citizens are at a loss to im
agine what could have actuated the
whitecappers in their bloody work. A
large posse of determined men has
been organized for the purpose of ap
prehending the guilty parties.
LEGISLATURE RECONVENES.
Alumama Colons Have a Brief Time
to Finish Th Ir Work.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 24. The
general assembly of Alabama recon
vened today alter a recess of several
weeks. Only 24 days remain for the
legislature to complete its work. There
is really very little to bo done iu the
way of legislation, as it is understood
that the constitutional convention will
be called, and it is expected to meet all
the requirements of the organic law.
The joint committee to consider and
propose amendments to tire revenue law
has been in session m this city for the
past three weeks and has completed its
labors.
Representative Wallace of Madison
introduced a resolution before recess iu
the house against expansion, which was
referred to the committee on rules. Ho
says that the antiexpansion sentiment
has grown so rapidly and is now so
widespread that he feels that he will bo
satisfied in pushing his resolution, and
thinks he will have no difficulty in get
ting it through the house.
COTTON RATE FIGHT HOT.
Various Lines Katerina Atlanta Make
Fun her Reductions.
Atlanta, Jan. 24.—The Seaboard Air
Line has given notice that it will cut
rates from Atlanta and Athens to Ports
mouth and Norfolk from 25 cents to 20
cents per 100.
hue ooutneru gives evidence that it is
in the fight to stay, for authority has
been secured from t e railroad commis
sion to reduce the Brunswick-Savannah
rate from 19 cents to 15 cents, which
preserves the differential of 6 cents
whicn originally existed between the
rates to those points and Norfolk and
Portsmouth rates.
The Central of Georgia again reduced
to Savannah and the Georgia road and
connections will name the same figures
to Charleston.
The Central owns lines of steamers
from Savannah to Boston and New
York, so that while other roads only re
ceive a part of the rate the
all, and, consequently, is able to carry
cotton at a much less rate.
Receiver Aslced For 15. & Jj.
Atlanta, Jan. 24.—A bill asking for a
receiver for the Atlanta National Build
ing and Loan association has been filed
in the superior court. Judge Lumpkin
has granted a temporary restraining or
der and set a hearing for next Thurs
day upon the question as to whether he
will make the injunction permanent
and appoint a receiver. The plaintiff
in the bill is the former general counsel
and director, Malcolm Johnston. The
officers of the association and the attor
neys representing them say the bill has
no merit. It is alleged by Johnston that
the association has become insolvent by
mismanagement.
