Attempt to- Wreck Train.
Greenville, Ga., May 4. —An attempt
was made to wreck the Central train
from Americus to Greenville at a
point near Stinson, about S miles be
low here. A crosstie had been placed
upon the track at the north end of a
curve, just where it left a cut, and
but for the fact that the tie was laid
at right angles across the track the
attempt would probably have been suc
cessful. As it was, the pilot of the
engine pressed over the obstruction so
tightly that the timber slid along the
rails ahead of the wheels until the
train could be stopped. The negro
brakeman, Rich Matthews, discovered
a party concealed near the spot and
chased him into the woods, failing to
capture him. No damage was done.
Magistrate Killed by Zulus.
Pietermaritzburg, Natal, May 4.—An
outrage which may have serious con
sequences has occurred in Zululand.

at Mahlabitini, Zululand, has been kill
ed by Zulus while collecting taxes near
that place. Mr. Stainback, his wife,
a woman companion and some mount
ed police, were caught in an ambush
by hostile natives who fired a volley
at them. The migistrate and one
of the policemen were fatally wound
ed. Mr. Stainback and the two la
dies managed to reach MahlabitjnL
where the magistrate died of his in
juries.

Dublin, Ga., May 4.—-At a meeting
in this city of the directors of the
Dublin and Southwestern road it was
unanimously voted to extend the road
from Eastman, to Cordele, Fitzgerald,
Abbeville or Barrow's Bluff. Some
time since President Rentz announced
that the road would he extended. The
directors agreed with President Rentz
as to the necessity for this, and so

which point the road will be extended.

FATHER SHERMAN
IN FULL RETREAT
Outraged at Course of Federal
Government.
GIVES UP TRIP FOR PRESENT
Expressed Himself as Deeply Grieved
at the Revival of Bitter Feelings
Caused by His Journey to the Sea
With Military Escort.
Cartersville, Ga., May 4.—Stung by
criticisms that have been made of his
action in traveling over the line of
his father’s campaign between Chat
tanooga and Atlanta and outraged at
the course of the federal government
in recalling the escort which its offi
cers had pressed on him, Father Sher
man, son of the famous general Wil
liam Tescumseh Sherman, has thrown
up the whole junket, and started on
the return journey to Chattanooga.
"Wednesday night Father Sherm,an
spent the night here as the guest of
FATHER THOMAS SHERMAN.
General A. O. Granger, who was Gen
eral Sherman’s secretary. A reception
was given in his honor, but while it
was well attended, there were many
invited who were conspicious by their
absence.
When Father Sherman reached this
place and learned of the action of the
war department authorities he broke
off all official relations with the mem
bers of the escort, and had his bag
gage taken from the army wagon and
carried to the home of General Gran
ger. He later determined that this was
not the proper course, and arranged
to make the trip hack to Chattanooga
with the escort.
Father Sherman feels that he has
been officially insulted by the govern
ment authorities. He claims that he
was the invited guest of the govern
ment; that the invitation came un
sought by him, and was pressed upon
him.
He expressed himself as deeply
grieved at the revival of bitter feel
ing caused by his journey, and though
urged to continue his course without
the military escort, he decided that
it would be better for the present at
least for him to give up the trip al
together.
Engineers Complete Work.
Chattanooga, May 4.—The American
Society of Mechanical Engineers fin
ished Thursday morning the scheduled
work of their fifty-third semi-annual
session. In the afternoon the dele
gates and ladies accompanying them

fleers will be elected at the annual
meeting to be held in New York.
Large Still Captured.
Hartwell, Ga., May 4. —F. S. Brown
and Washington‘Grizzle, "of the reve
nue service, captured a big distillery
in the pleasant Hill settlement, in Mc-
Curry’s district. From all appear
ances, it is reported that the still is
thought to be operated by parties who
live at a distance, as a complete
camping outfit was near it. The still
was shipped to Atlanta, where it will
be confiscated.
Lee Defeats Fite.
Atlanta, May 4.—Returns from all
counties in the seventh district, except
Haralson and Paulding, show that Con
gressman Gordon Lee has won a vic
tory over his opponent, Judge A. W.
Fite. The vote in the counties not
heard from cannot affect the result,
except as to the size of Congressman
Lee’s majority, which is estimated at
between 6,000 and 7,000.
New National Bank Soon to Sart.
Macon, Ga., May 4.—About July 1
a new national hank is to begin oper
ation in Macon. The work is now practi
cally completed, and Macon capitalists
are already working for the new bus*
ness. Strong money hacking will sup
port the institution.
Senator Clark to Quit Politics.
Butte, Mont., May 4.—ln a signed
statement appearing in the Butte Mi
ner, his own paper, Senator W. A.
Clark, of Montana, announces that, he
is not a candidate for to
the United States senate.
$20,000 Fire Loss.
Atlanta, May 4. —A few minutes af
ter 12 o’clock Thursday while the
shopping district was crowded, fire
broke out in the basement of Liber
man’s Atlanta Trunk factory, No. 92
Whitehall street, and hardly before
the smoke was seen pouring out of the
windows, had caused an aggregate loss
to stock and building estimated at
$20,000.
People Will Suffer.
Duluth, Minn., May 4. — Eight boats
were loaded Friday at the wharves,
and will clear for lower lake points.
If the strike is prolonged, the people
on the iron ranges will suffer. With
no boats returning from lake Erie
ports the shipments of ore from the
mines will be curtailed and thousands
of laborers be forced into idleness.
KEPT PRISONER UPON ISLAND.
Negro Boy Secures Verdict for $1,500
Damages.
Montgomery, Ala., May 4.—Adam
Greene, the negro boy of Limestone
county, who has obtained a judgment
for $1,500 against C. N. Robinson &
Co., of that county, for services ren
dered during a year and a half of in
voluntary detention on an island in
the Tennessee river, has only one
more move between him and his
money, that of an application to the
supreme court for a rehearing of the
case. This application has been made
and the court will go over it in a few
days.
The story of the treatment of this
negro boy, as shown by the records of
the court, is one of great interest. It
appears that he was sent to the island
for some cattle and then kept there a
year and a half and forced to work
whether he would or not, the allega
tion being made that he was imprison
ed in an old shanty and the boats kept
locked so he could not get away. The
river is too wide to swim, and he was
a virtual prisoner all the time.
The lower court gave a verdict for
$1,500, which was sustained by the su
preme court in an especially able opin
ion by Justice Haralson. It is re
garded as not unlikely that the Unit
ed States court may take up the case
and prosecute on the criminal charge
of peonage.
Bucketshops an Issue.
Dublin, Ga., May 4. —Pool rooms and
busket shops have been made an is
sue in municipal politics in this city.
Dublin has a well-patronized poolroom
and a cotton brokerage office which
have been dubbed" a bucket shop.

year from the city at large. O. L.
Anderson, J. M. Williams and H. G.
Stevens, ‘three of the six candidates,
state that if they are elected they will
vote against relicensing the pool rooms
and the bucket shops. The other
candidates have so far taken no public
position in regard to these enterprises.
The primary will be held on the sth
of May. More than 400 voters have
registered so far. Those who have
not registered have until Saturday af
ternoon to do so. It is thought that
at least 450 white voters will quali
fy for the primary.
Populists to Meet Tuesday.
Atlanta, May 4.—Leading Georgia
Populists wfl meet here Tuesday in
the office of Judge J. K. Hines, who
was a candidate for governor against
the late W. Y. Atkinson, it is announc
ed, to decide as to the future of the
Populist organization. It is under
stood that the calling of this meeting
is the result of the action of the Dem
ocratic state committee in restricting
the Democratic primaries to loyal
Democrats, and that a final decision
will he reached as to whether the Pop
ulists shall continue to ac tas a sep
arate party and put out a state tick
et for this fall’s election, or whether
they shall disband the party organiza
tion and return to the Democratic
fold.

mate with Major Huntron, a New York

ARMY PEOPLE HAVE
ACCOMPLISHED MUCH
In Way of Straightening Out
Mixed Conditions.
OF AFFAIRS IN SAN FRANCISCO
General Funston In an Interview De
clares that This Is the Largest Res
cue Work Ever Attempted by the
"united States Army.
San Francisco, May 4. —The army
people at the Presidio have accom
plished wonders in the way of straigh
tening out the badly mixed up condi
tion of affairs in this stricken city.
In an interview on the subject today
General Funston said:
“This is the largest rescue work
ever attempted by the army.’’
In the they speak of fire as
the “greatest castrophe of the age,”
but those who have been engaged in
the work of relief on the ground do
not yet realize that 200,000 people
pie were made homeless and penni
less in a day, have been fed and shel
tered for two weeks and no man, wo
man or child has gone hungry.
The relief committee wrought won
ders, but in the end it must be admit
ted that without the army it would
have been impossible.
“Every quartermaster’s storehouse
in the country was emptied into ex
press trains in a day.
“For the first few days the tent cit
ies'that sprung up in the Presidio
were without order or arrangement.
Many of the homeless were crowded
together in the wooden barracks.
There the conditions resulting were
not sanitary, and Thursday they were
moved into an organized city of tents,
which had come by express from the
east. Possibly the only problem that
now remains for the army in this par
ticular camp is to fix the day when it
shall come down and the campers re
turn to normal conditions.
“Rapid progress is being made in
the immediate supply depot at the
Presidio, which will soon be able to
furnish the hospitals of the city with
all the drugs necessary for the treat
ment of the sick.”
In the matter of outside relief the
Southern Pacific officials state that up
to 7 o’clock Thursday morning, 1,056
carloads of supplies have been deliv
ered in San Francisco from all sec
tions of the country. The Southern
Pacific people are of the opinion that
an additional 300 carloads of various
lines of supplies from the east will
reach Oakland during the next four
or five days.
The cheering information was re
ceived Thursday that San Francisco
is not threatened with a water fam
ine, and that all of the city’s sources
of supply are intact. Probably for
two or three more weeks, however,
there will be a necessity for conserv
ing the limited supply that Is now com.
ing into the city for the reason that
tjie supply cannot be enlarged until
serious breaks in one of the leading
mains are repaired.
The first sign of the resumption of
the real estate sales w T as given Thurs
day. Several transactions wherein
process of negotiations before the con
flagration were completed on the lines
of the original terms, while new ones
were entered upon. In addition a
number of offers for reality, consider
ably below r its former value, wore
promptly declined.
The clearing house reports all the
city’s hanks as solvent. Its state
ment may be taken as authoritative.
That does not mean that any bank
could pay out the full balances of its
depositors at sight, for the majority
of the money is loaned. It means
simply that all banks could pay at
sight all checks which could be drawn
in the ordinary course of business un
der normal conditions, and all other
deposits within a reasonable time.
The health of the city continues to
he good. One case of typhoid fever
and six suspicious cases of the same
disease have been, reported in San
Francisco. This recQrd for two weeks
is below the average.
This constitutes, it is claimed, one ol
the most remarkable reports known
to medical men. That almost an en
tire city should be turned into virtual
ly one vast camp without preparation
for the handling of the sanitary situa
tion, and yet the cases of typhoid fe
ver should be limited to such a small
number, is considered miraculous.
THE DEAD SEA.
Work of the Salt Divers In This Des
olate Waste.
The awful desolation of the Dead
sea, which lies nearly 1,300 feet below
the level of the Mediterranean, is bro
ken here and there by the salt divers,
whose work is probably as ancient as
the human race itself.
From remotest antiquity the salt of
the Dead sea lias been collected and
taken to the Jerusalem market, where
it is used for curing hides and for do
mestic purposes. Dead sea water con
tains over 25 per cent of solid sub
stances, of which 7 per cent is chloride
of sodium, or common salt.
The Dead sea contains no living crea-
Sea fish put into its waters speed
ily die. Not a single boat navigates its
strange waters, nor is there any sign
of life, save the isolated parties of salt
divers, who scrape and slowly amass
their glistening heaps of crystal near
lhe mouth of the Jordan.
When a sufficient cargo Is made
ready a long string of camels crosses
the desert, and the salt is loaded up
into panniers, or “shwerries,” and tak
en into Jerusalem, where it finds a
ready market.
Salt, as is well known, has been used
as currency from time immemorial,
as bricks of tea are used today in
central Asia, especially in the border
land of China and Siberia.—Technical
World Magazine.
