General Shallenberger, second

that the post office department was
following out strictly the law pro

levied against railroads for non-per-

the postmaster general shall require
all railroads carrying the malls un

4 tla Town Causing Great J.oaa.
El Paso, Tex., Dec. tf,—From In
formation received here late Tues
day night It Is believed that tho lit
tle town of Clifton, Arlz., has boen
practically washed away. The Cop
per Queen hotel is said to hade been
swept away by the flood and at least
fifty persons lost their lives.
The Concentrator dam, which gave
way, precipitating the great flood up
on the town, was constructed entire
ly of earth. The dam was carried
away two years ago as a result of the
swollen streams and a number of per
sons were drowned.
A message received here from Tuc
son. Arts., says that Clifton Is half
destroyed. The -report that scores
of persons were drowned Is partially
confirmed.

Atlanta, Dec. 6.—A. L. Thomas,
a car inspector for the Seaboard Air
Line railway, Tuesday afternoon fired
five shots at Dr. Wllllm Cawhern,
on Marietta street, and three of them
took effect. Dr. Cawhern was In
jured In both hands and In the hip,
but will recover. Thomas alleges
that Dr. Cawhern has destroyed the
happiness of hlg home and declares
that this Is why he shot him. The
charge 1b vigorously denied by Dr.
Cawhern. After tho shooting Thom

General Shallenberger declared that

by the railroads against whom lev

ShaDeberger announced that under
the Jaw he now has the right to fine
all trains carrying the malls, when
schedules are delayed. This general
law did not go Into effect until July
of this year, and he now has evi
dence or all avoidable delays and
each case suitable penalties will
inflicted and he hopes by putting In
operation the general law put in the
postoffice appropriations hill at the
last session of congress to relieve
the public from serious trouble lu fu-
tyre..
It Is evident that If this law, now
on the statute books should fall to
give relief, the postoffice appropria
tions commltte will take the subject
up with the view of fixing a heavy
penalty and making It definite, and
also to empower the postmaster gen
eral to approve the schedules of
trains carrying the malls. .
Advices were received at the post
office department (hat the Southern
railway would voluntarily relinquish
