Saturday. September opened at 95 to
99. which was up 1*4 to 5% above the
closing price of last week. December
showed a wider range than any of the
other options, as the opening for De
cember ran at all figures between 96%
and 103. The rush of buying orders
seemed to come from almost every
towq in the United States which was
situated along a telegraph wire. The
professional traders were of the opin
ion that the opening was a little too
vigorous and that the chance to seize
profits on lines of long wheat carried
over Sunday was tempting.

Kuroki Interested in U. S. Cavalry.
Gen. Kuroki and his staff, next to
the sailors from their own kingdom,
seemed to be most interested in the

Of Interest to Traveling Men.
ATLANTA. May 13.—The State
Court of Appeals has rendered a de
cision which will be of widespread In

the responsibility of railroads for the
destruction by fire of sample trunks or
other baggage left at a railroad depot
without checks.
The suit was that of the Southern
Railway Comrany vs. Rosenheim &
Sons, of Savannah, whose traveling
man named Adams, left his sample
trunks at the road’s depot at Waynes-
ville, N. C. after having surrendered
his claim checks, but with the per

Oslerlism and Ministers.
ATLANTA. May 13—Should minis

"Oslerized?” This question was ap
parently answered in the affirmative
by the Atlanta Methodist ministers at
their weekly meeting today. Rev. J.
H. F.nkes. one of Atlanta’s well known
Methodist preachers, brought up tho
subject for discussion as to whether
ministers lose their influence and pow-

to a customer from his samples. That
night the depot burned down and the
trunks were destroyed. On the ground
that he had a Southern Rai'jvay mile
age book upon which he had the right
to claim checks for his trunks, Rosen
heim and Son* sued the Southern, and
recovered a judgment in the city court
of Savannah.
The Court of Appeals reverses this
ml'ng. holding that the railroad is not
responsible except where it has ac
cepted the baggage and given checks
for it. The leaving of t“e trunks in
the depot for the day and over night
was the result of a personal agreement
between the traveling man and the
agent with which the railroad had

Train’s Slow Rate of Sneed: more in this car were not either kill-
v *■ ed or injured.
In the coach for white people the jar
was rather harsh but fortunately no
one was seriously injured. A drunken
passenger is said to have caused con
siderable excitement, especially among
the women passengers by his hysteri
cal remark that the engine would blow
up and kill every body if the passen
gers didn't leave the train at once. R.
J. Scott, of Atlanta, who in company
with his little son was en route to Ea-
tonton, is said to have quieted the
passengers’ fears by his cool and time
ly assurance that the danger had pass
ed, and that the best thing for every
one in the car to do was to keep their
seats and make the best of the situa
tion.
Engineer Minor has figured in two
wrecks during his railroad service.
About two years ago he was in charge
of an engine pulling a train which was
wrecked between Croom and Willston.
in which he received injuries which
necessitated a long leave of absence
from duty. His right leg was so bad
ly crushed that he had to be taken
to Baltimore where specialists per
formed a delicate operation, removing
several bones from the leg. His escape
last night may be considered miracul
ous in that he was only badly scalded,
although internal injuries may make
their appearance later.
The wrecking train was immediately
sent to the scene and after several
hours of hard work the wreck was
cleared away sufficiently to resume
traffic.

the Royster Guano Company’s

resulted in the death of the negro
fireman. Bartow Peek, and injury to a
half dozen others.
From all accounts It seems that the
train was running at about twenty-
five miles per hour at the time of the
accident, and from all appearances was
due to splitting switch. The engine was
the first to leave the track, carrying
with it the combination baggage coach.
The engine was almost completely der
molished and the comb'natlon coach
was partially wrecked, while the white
coach was derailed but practically suf
fered no serious damage. The track

ed a committee to raise funds for the
strikers. The trans-Atlantic lines are

ing development of the day was the
announcement from Montreal that the
longshoremen had gone out.
WASHINGTON, May 13.—In the
case ot the State of Georgia against
the Tennessee Copper Company and
the Ducktown Sulphur and Copper
Company, in which the plaintiff today-
asked the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States to restrain tho defendant
companies from the operating of their
smelters at Ducktown, Tenn., Justice
Holmes, while not granting the in
junction, announced that he would en
tertain the State's motion unless the
companies make such improvements as
will put a stop to the objectionable
fumes to which the plaintiff objects.
The smelters are very near the
Georgia line and that State asked
to have them condemned as a
public and private nuisance alleging
that they constituted a menace to
health and were the sourco of great
injury to vegetation for a radius of
fifty miles.
Holding that the case Is not on the
same footing .as if between private
parties, but that “in its sovereign ca
pacity the State has an interest inde
pendent of and behind the title of Its
citizens In all the earth and air with
in its domain,” Justice Holmes said
that Georgia has a right to make de
mand that the air over It should not be
poluted on a great scale by sulphurous
acid gas. that the forests in its moun
tains should not be further Impaired
by poisons beyond its control, and that
crops and oreahrds should not be in
jured from the same source. Coming
to the proof in the case, he said with
out any attempt to go into detail, im
material to the suit, it is proper to add
that we are satisfied by a preponder
ance of evidence that the sulphurous
fumes caused and threatened damago
on so considerable a scale to the forest
and vegetable life, if not to health
within the plaintiff's State, as-to make
a case within the requirement of the
case of the State of Missouri against
the State of Illinois. If the State ad
heres to its determination- there is no
alternative to issuing an injunction,
after allowing a reasonable time to the
defendant to complete the structures
that they are now building and the ef
forts they are making to stop the
fumes. The plaintiff may submit a
form of decree on the convening of this
court in October next

Into the night, a thin line of curious

Mr. and Mrs. Corey will proceed to

They expect to remain there until they

ATHENS. Ga.. May 13.—J. IT. Arnold, a
traveling preacher from Franklin County,
was sent to the rock pile this morning by
Mayor Dorsey for having whipped his
little 9-ycar-old adopted daughter unmer
cifully. It appears from -evidence of two
men who saw the latter part of the whip"-
ping that Arnold had carried the child
out into Linton’s woods yesterday after
noon just before dark and had made her
take off her dress. He had then whipped
her- so severely with a switch that the
skin was cut off her left arm in two
places and her back made very red.
Her screams could be beard for some dis
tance.
Arnold has been conducting a tent
meeting neur the plant of the Southern
Manuafaeturinsr Company and this littlo
girl lias been helping him by singing and
passing around the hat. The child was
evidently afraid of him pnd her testi
mony was given under great stress. Ar
nold himself made a statement that he
had told the child not to plav baseball on
Sunday, and that she had disobeyed hin^
God told him to whip her ;.nd he carrieo
her out in the woods and prayel with
her. Then he whipped her. He s tld he
thought he had a right to do what he
had done.
Mayor Dorsey did not take this view- of
It. He told Arnold that he had no re
lic-ion; that he was a.brute; that hell was
filled with just such creatures, and that
honest men were kept out of the kingdom
of God by just such preachers. He sen
tenced him to six months’ service on the
rock pile and at its expiration advised hitn
to shake the dust of Athens off hir feet.
As for the child, he instructed Chief of
Police McKie to find a home for the littlo
one in some orphans’ home.
