Cut —Conductor Claims He Had Mo
tioned Car To Stop.
Chattanooga, Tenn., May 11.—An in
coming train on the Chattanooga
Southern railroad struck a street car
on the electric line at a crossing near
the city limits Friday morning. Two
men were killed, one fatally injured,
several badly hurt, and nearly every

The car was packed with laboring
men from the suburb of St. Elmo, go
ing to their work. It was upon the
Chattanooga track when struck, al
though the conductor had gone on
ahead and claims that he had motion
ed for a dead stop. It was struck
near the rear end, turned completely
over, and thrown to one side, parallel
with the rairoad track.
About the only man on board who
was unhurt was a one-legged cripple
who got off without a scratch.

Must Replant Crops.
Valdosta, Ga., May 11.—Fred Bam
berg, of this city, has returned from a
visit to his naval stores location near
Lenox, in Berrien county, and says
that the damage in that section from
the severe hailstorm which passed
over the country a few days ago has
been greatly underestimated. He says
that the damage on his place from the
windblown trees will be fully $2,000,
and that in some sections the bark
was beaten from pine trees and crops
utterly ruined. The storm covered a
strip about 5 miles wide. Throughout
that section all crops will have to be
replanted.

INCREASED MARKETS
FOR UNITED STATES
Such Is Prediction of Special
Agent Pepper.
IN KfcFUKTING HIS INVESTIGATION
Os Trade in Cuba to the Department of
Commerce and Labor—Capitalists
Transfer Large Amounts for Devel
opment of Cuban Enterprises.
Washington, May 11. —Special Agent
Charles M. Pepper, of the department
of commerce and labor in reporting
on his investigation of trade in Cuba,
predicts increased markets for the
United States. He says that while the
exports of Cuba in the last few years
have exceeded the imports, the pres
ent year is likely to show a more
evenly balanced condition with the
United States selling the Island $50,-
000,000 worth of products. He antici
pates no falling off in the import trade.
In spite of the drop, both in produc
tion and price of sugar, Mr. Pepper
does not regard the industry as facing
a grave crisis, though there will be
(Repression later in the year.
There is also, he says, a shortage in
the tobacco crop. Despite the heavy
decrease in sugar and tobacco, Mr.
Pepper says there will be no distress,
because large amounts of capital are
being transferred from the United
States and Europe for development of
these enterprises.
Cuban imports of cottons vary from
$8,000,000 to $9,000,000 annually, and
while the United States manufacturers
under reciprocity concessions, have
been able to build up a business of
$1,500,000 to $1,600,000, yet they would
make greater headway against the
Manchester mills if more attention
were paid to the requirements of the
Cuban customers in patterns, style*
and designs.
Socialist Members Resign.
Rome, May 11. —All the Socialist
members of the chamber of deputies

country. During the day a largely
attended meeting of strikers was held
in the Collise-um. Socialists and dep
uties delivered Inflammatory speeches
and a resolution protesting against the
use of arms against the people was
adopted. Later collisions between
the strikers and the police and the
troops took place, and several hours
elapsed before demonstrators were
finally dispersed.

PEOPLE OF RUSSIA
TAKE OPITMISTIC VIEW
Os Historical Event of the Czar
Meeting His Subjects.
The new council is opened
Constitutional Democrats Demand Am
nesty, Reorganization of Labor Laws
and of the Army; Disbanding of
Cossacks, and Equal Rights to Ail.
St. Petersburg, May 11, 11:45 a. in.
—The impression left by Friday’s his
toric events, is on the whole one of
optimism. Even the radical papers
assume a rather hurtful tone. The
Rech, organ of the Constitutional Dem
ocrats and now the most powerful pa
per in Russia, while not concealing
its disappointment at the fact that the
expected amnesty was not granted, on
the other hand expresses its satisfac
tion that the emperor did not use the
word "autocracy.”
It regards his majesty’s speech as
an adroit refusal to grant any further
concessions, leaving the fundamental
law as the platform of the government.
The Constitutional Democrats, how
ever, are in nowise dismayed at the
prospect of having a struggle, and
their efforts will be directed to forc
ing general political amnesty from the
unwilling hands of the emperor.
One of the striking changes today
is the appearance of the Official Mes
senger, .which for days and weeks had
been appearing each morning with col
umn after column of ukases and nom
inations after the bureaucracy, fever
ishly sought to “get their goods in out
of the wet.” With the assembling of
parliament toe end has come. Not a
signle ukase or nomination was print
ed today. The only official announce
ment was a rescript giving Finance
Minister Kokovsoff credit for the suc
cess of the late loan.
The central committee of the Consti
tutional Democrats is working out a
reply to the speech from the throne.
The principal points will be amnesty
and equality of political and civil
rights; but a faction is insisting on a
demand for the abolition of the coun
cil of the empire. An attempt will
be made to come to an agreement
with the peasants who are drawing up
an independent reply. The chief de
mands are amnesty, reorganization of
the labor laws, reorganization of the
army, disbanding of the Cossacks, the
separation of church and state, a gen
eral extension of the schools and equal
rights for all nationalities.
The new council of the empire, or
upper house of parliament, was opened
this afternoon with elaborate ceremo
nies.
Baptists Meet at Chattanooga.
Chattanooga, May 11.—The South
ern Baptists’ convention met for its
sixty-first annual session in this city
Friday morning. The convention is
not a synod, conference nor presby

of the affairs of the various churches.
The convention is purely a missionarj
organization, and has only to do with
the home and foreign missionary work
of the church. The various churches
have been organized into state organ
izations which has associations and
missionary boards, and these, in turn,
form the Southern Association.
Contract Let For County Jail.
Ashburn, Ga., May 11. —Ordinary W.

large room and has been fitted up with

rooms, etc., and will make an ideal
court room. This will possibly be
used for a year or two, at least until
the new court house is built.

mous Meil and Alex Adkins case
which was to have been called Thurs
day morning, will not come up for
