Youthful Train Wreckers.
Yesterday morning when the train
on the S.G. & N. A. RR.. which leaves
here at 8:35 had reached Banning,
about 12 miles this side of Carroll¬
ton, Conductor Littleton was accost¬
ed by two white boyB who informed
him that there was an iron bar lying
across the track at the 51 mile post
and asked him if he would give them
a free ride back to Griffin on the
strength of the information, which
he promised to do. They stated
theirname 8 were George Mooney and
Marion Bridges,and lived at this
place. ,
The train proceeded on its way un¬
til the designated spot was reached,
when a bar of railroad iron thirty
feet long was found lying in .the man¬
ner as described by the boys. The
red was removed and Mr. L ittleton

of wbicb he took an accurate meas¬
ure. Returning on his afternoon
trip he found the boys at.Whitesburg
and allowed them to board the train.
They were not approached until
some distance had been traveled,
when Mr. Littleton took Marion
Bridges off to himself and by skill¬
fully questioning him about the af¬
fair, he confessed that he, together
with George Mooney, were
the guilty parties and stated
that they had run away from "home,
were out of money and had planed
this expectiagto geta passage home,
but had no intention of wrecking the
train. They were brought on to this
place and are by orders of the Central
RR-.^held in custody until warrants
can be precured from Carroll county
which will be done today. The boys
left here Saturday for Atlanta and
on Sunday were seen by a gentleman
of this city on the G. P. RR. with
tickets for Carrollton and at that,
time had some money.
The boys are both young, being 15
and 17 years of age and could have
had no motive other than related by
them for doing the deed.
Since writing the above we learn
warrants were sworn out before Jus¬
tice Stilwell at-11 o’clock last night
. and the boys will be carried to Car¬
rollton this morning, where bail will
probably be arranged far both.

fruit and about the same rates of

are situated so an to ship in direct

ALL DEPENDS ON THE WATEK,
Egypt's Cotton Crop Will be Good If
the River rises.
The Alexandria General Produce
Association., in its circular dated
April 30, reports regarding the pres¬
ent Egyptian cotton crop prospects:
“The information that we have re¬
ceived shows that the general amount
of acreage sown this year is that
folly equals the amount sown last
year. A reduction of 15,OOOfeddans
reported in the Fayoum provinces,
but tfiis reduction is compensated by
an increase in several of the lower
Egypt provinces. Jt appears that in
several localities of the Behera Gar
biethand Dakahlieh pro vinces, where
both cotton and rice are cultivated
the area put under cotton has been
increased at the expense of rice, owing
to the fears of short supplies of wa-
ter.
“The quantity of white quality
the districts of Zilta and Milt-Chmr
has been slightly reduced in order to
make trials with other qualities.
“Water is sufficient or abundant*
according to districts; the quantity
in the canals is estimated at about
equal to the quantity at this time
last year. Pumping engines are able
to do their work with facility, and in
some localities the water has been
sufficiently high for irrigation with¬
out raising.
“The fears are for June, and more
especially for July, should the Nile be
late in raising, as was the case last
year. :
“These fears are caused by tbepos
ition of the Nile at Assouan, where it
is unprecedently low, while at Cairo
the position is proportionately bet
ter, thanks to the improved barra ge.
“The Nile must now remain sta¬
tionary or decline for a further two
months. An early Nile only com¬
mences to rise at the beginning of
July; • we therefore appreciate the
fears caused by the low position at
Assouan. Fortunately the improve
barrage and imposed the system of the irrigation authori¬
by ties rotation will loss by and
prevent waste of
water, and will, to some extent, de¬
crease the danger.
“The early or late rising of the
rivet is thus a point of more than
usual importance. If it is as latej as
1888, we look for damage to the
crops; if, on the other hand, it is
early, any damage caused by the dry
season may be-to someextent remed¬
ied.
To sum up: Our information res¬
pecting is the present state of the young
plant satisfactory, while fears and
uncertainty hang upon the ^ question
of Air. water Jac. supply. Andrews, New’ York, rej
marks in Bis late cotton report, that,
“we do not share entirely the appre¬
hension about the water supply, be¬
cause irrigation during the past few
years has been greatly improved, and
we entertain will hopes that a serious
want of water be prevented.”
