Cold Storage Plant Is a Certainty
While Two or Three Warehouses
Will Be Built In Spring—Many New
Buildings In Americus,
Americas is Dot coin? to get on a
"building boom” exao'ly, but tbe con
templated erection of several ware
houses and a cold storage deprt in the
near future, to say nothing of tbe nu
merous dwelling houses that will be
built, would give it that appsara 'ce.
For the carpenter and brick mason
will be busy here very soon.
And the current year will mark the
best building ^record of tbe past de
cade; more n^w hou-e« will be built for
residence and business purposes than
in teD years past.
Tbe TimeB-Recorder was informed
by an euterpri ing citizsu yesterday
that be represented a company tbatde
sired to erect a large >cold storage da
pot, and ;even now he is looking ai
several available sites o l tbe railroad
front with that end in view.
This will mean ibe investment of
considerable foreign capital. Tbe
building, it is said, will be 100 by 300
feet and have capacity for many c»r
loads of stufl consigned to cold stor
age.
This includes fresh meats, vegeta-
hies, beer, butter aud anything of irk
kind kept in storage.
Negotiations with the railroads are
now progressing, and as soon as terms
can be agreed upon the company pro-
proses to begin building.
It is also stated that two large whole
sale eoncerns and a brokerage house
will build storage freight depots dar
ing the early summer. Hites for these
have been selected, practically, and
the three large buildiugs will be com
pleted ere tbe bnsy season opens.
Then there will be something doing
in building more homes.
Americus needs fifty or a hundred
dwelling booses and a goodly number
of these will be built during tbe year.
Homo are already under way aud plans
for others are beiug drawn.
Uesides the building in progress in
the city, our new suburb, ilsgley, is
going to do something iu a building
way. A large depot there is nearing
■fiction, and the cotton glueing

Remains of Woman Who Disappeared
In November Found.
Augusta, Oa., Feb. 10.—The river
went to S3 feet and 2 Inches and re
mained at a standstill most of Mon
day. -It began slowly falling In the
afternoon. The water on upper Jones
Reynold* and Market itreete, near the
river, attracted many spectators all
day. Some of the negroes aud deni-
■ens of the Tenderloin were surround
ed by water and' had to use batteaux
for a short distance to get from their
doors'to the higher streets.
In one of the undertaking establish
ments are the remains of Mrs. Mary
McDonald, aged 65 years. 8he dis
appeared from the home, 806 Elbert
•street, In which she lived the day
following Thanksgiving day and no
trace of her has slues been found.
About sundown yesterday evening
some men standing on the bridge,
looking at the river, discovered an
object floating going down the swift
rushing waters that looked like a wo
man.
Hastily procuring a boat they set In
pursuit, aud a mile or two down the
river below the city caught up with
what proved to be the badly decom
posed remains of a gray-halredi wo
man. It was Impossible to paddle
back up the swollen stream, and they
were some hours In getting their find
back to town.
The remains were identified as
those of Mrs. McDonald. The pre
sumption Is that she was drowned
last November and, the body caught
under roots or overhanging limbs and
held under water until released by the
swift and swollen stream of todnv.

ANDERSONVILLE PARAGRAPHS.
The "rainy season” prevailing here
for two weeks, almost without the
cessation of a day, ever, cnluuuuted
yesterdav morning in a fi iod of raiu
which reached torrential proportions,
washing tbe city’s streets, damaging
plantations and, as usual, playiDg hav
oc with tbe railroads.
Not since the freshet of two years
ago has such a rain fallen here. ,
For three hours there was a blind
ing storm in which deefening thunder
and vivid lightning played a part, and
daring this 'ime the raiu poured dowu
in almost blinding sheets.
The water gauge at tbs weather bu
reau hero registered a fall of almost
three inches within two hours. This,
with the bard rains of tbe past two
weeks, has fairly Hooded the country,
and travel is great y retarded. 1'raius
ou all the roads here were somewhat
delayed yesterday,
The Seaboard’a morning train came
in late, though its other passenger
trains came aud left on time.
The Central was open below Ameri
cus bat [had trouble with the Flint
river bridge at Monteznma. AH south*
bonnd trains were tied np there yes
terday while the mnddy waters of the
Flint surged about tbe steel bridge.
The river is not as high as daring oth-
freshets. By noon the san shone
and the work of repairing tbe ^damage
was began.
The city’s streets are washed con
siderably, while the condition of tbe
roads leading to Amerious is 'probably
worse than ever. Farms sustained
much damage, and wherever guano
had been put out it was washed away.

FRANCE IS DUBIOUS.
Not Disposed to Accept Porte’s Assur
ance Regarding Mobilization.
Paris, Feb. 10.—The officials here
are not disposed to accept the porte's
assurance that Turkey has no inten
tion of mobilizing a largo force of
troops. When the Turkish denial
was brought to tho attention of the
dale hero who have access to the
government's sources of information,
the following reply was made.
“Wo have received similar pacific
assurances from Turkish sources, but
our own information is positive and
specific that orders for the mobiliza
tion have been actually Issued. This
was three days ago, and we are un
able to say whether the execution of
the orders are withheld in view of the
effect they have produced among the
powers who are seeking to enforce re
forms In the Balkans. Our advices
further show etiat the mobilization
would effect 240,000 troops."
The French government’s policy ap-
pears to be shaping on Its own advices
without reference to the quieting
Turkish assurances.
Atlanta, Feb. 10.—Advices received
here state that a heaJ-in collision oc
curred on the Southern railway about
a mile south of Jackson, GtC, late yes
terday afternoon. In which 14 persons
were more or less seriously Injured,
among the number being several resi
dents of Atlanta.
The trains which came together
were passenger train No. 19, drawn
by engine 343, which left Atlanta a:
4:30 p. m., and the first section of
freight train No. 61, drawn by engine
No. 256, which left Macon during the
afternoon.
Those who suffered injuries are:
Will Smith, a negro of Cork, Ga
hurt in the breast; George Mitchell
a negro employe, Macon, cut in the
face and hurt in the chest; J. W.
Hutchins, white passenger, Atlanta
knee and hand hurt; C. F. Elliott, a
white passenger, Atlanta, shoulder in
jured; Adams Alzringer, white passen
ger. Louisville, Ky., back and head
injured; Miss S. G. Kennan, white
passenger, Wilmington, shoulder in-
Jured; W. D. Jones, white passenger,
Dallas, Tex., wounded in the knee;
George H. Edwards, white passenger,
Dallas, Tex., injured In nick and
shoulder; Miss Mamie White, Sum
merville, nose and race cut. Miss
White Is probably the most seriously
Injured of the 14 passengers. S. H.
Taylor, white passenger, Macon, Ga,
sprained shoulder and a tooth knock
ed. out; J. I. Mitchell, white passenger,
Macon, Ga.. back injured and head
cut; J. I. Birdsong, white passenger,
Macon, Ga., bruised about the face.
Engineer Liddell, of Atlanta, Is Injur
ed In the back, his back being badly
apralned; Conductor Sloan, of Macon,
was cut about tbe head, and his shoul
ders wCre sprained.
It Is said the collision must ba
charged up to the crew manning the
freight train. At the first station
north of Jackson, where It had orders
to meet the passenger train, it wait
ed a time and then pulled out for Jack-
son, the engineer and the conductor-
believing they could hake the run in
safety.
The passenger train had the right
of way; and was on time at Jackson.
Believing the track to be clear, the erii
gineer opened his throttle and was
picking up speed when he observed
the headlight moving toward him.
He knew at once that it was the
first section of 61. which he expected
to pass at the next station. He re
versed his engine and applied his
brakes, as also did the engineer of
the freight when he discovered the ap-
proachlng passenger train.
Both trains rapidly decreased In
speed, but they were too close to each
other to avoid the collision.
The engines were badly wrecked. 1
but the greatest damage done was to
the passenger train. The first-class
coach was especially wrecked, and it
was In this that most of the passen
gers who were Injured were riding.
The track was blocked for an hour,
but wrecking crews sent from both
ends of the road met at the point and
cleared the obstruction, and trains are
now running as usual.
The Injured passengers were car
ried to Macon, Jackson and' Atlanta.
Express and Fi eight Collide,
Chicago, Feb. 11.—The southbound
Green Bay express on the Chicago and
Northwestern road collided' with s
freight engine at Winnetha this morn
ing, seriously Injuring a P. Fleming
fireman, and slightly Injuring Engin
eer James Robinson and an unknown
man riding on the engine. The en
glneers were badly shaken up, but es
caped Injury. The freight engine was
switching across the main track when
the accident occurred'.
