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.

Dawes, comptroller of currency, and H. C. Armstrong, the cashier of the Conti nental National bank of Memphis.

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.
