VOL. 9. ALBANY, GA.. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1901. ISTHMIAN CANAL COMECON REPORTS. i°<? •sv Favors Nicaragua Route, By Which Canal Would Cost $189,864,062—Figures Relative to Panama Route Are Smaller, But Commission Fa vors Nicaragua—Report Goes '■ to Congress—President Sub mits New Canal Treaty. Washington. Deo. 4.—The report of the Isthmian Oanal Commission was sent to Congress today. The commis sion favors the Nioarauga route, and makes an estimate of $180,804,063 as total oost of the construction of the canal through Nioarauga. The esti mated cost of the Panama ronte is $144,- 384,858, but the report RayB it would cost $100,141,000 to obtain the Panama oonoession. The commission values the work a’- ready done at $40,000,000. The report says the Panama route is feasible us a sea level canal, while the Nioarauga route must be by looks, but that Lake Nioarauga will furnish an inexhausti ble supply of water for the canal. The Nlcaranga route has no natural harbors on either end, but satisfactory harbors may be constructed. Harbors already exist at eaoh end of the Panama ‘route, but considerable work must be done at the entrance of the harbor on the At lantic side. With adequate foroe and plant, the commissio'nestinmtes thaltheNicaragua oane! oah be completed fin six years. Ten year^pro estimated to complete the Pauama oanal. The tu4l length of the Nicaragua rou* j will bo 183 miles, and of the Panama ioui,e 4b. The estimated cost of operating apd maintaining the Nicaragua canal annually is $350,000 greater than that of the Panama canal. It is estimated that a deep draught ves sel could pass through the Panama canal in twelvo hours, and through the Nica ragua canal in S3 hours. The Nicaragua route, the report says, is more advan tageous for oommeroe. For gulf ports, the advantage would be two days and for most of the ports on the Atlantio' and Pacific! oceans one day. The Nicaragua route is said to be better for sailing ves sels on aocount of^favorable winds. I WEIGH 175 IbS. former weight 135 | Gain 40 lbs. There are people who say that the benefit derived from the use of put-up medicines is imaginary. It is not the case with Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion, which makes weak women strong and sick women well. A woman may imagine she’s weak, or may fancy she’s sick, but her imagination can't add forty pounds to her weight. The positive proof of the curative power 6f « Favorite Prescription w is found in the restoration of health which is recorded in face and form, of strength which can be tested, and weight which can be registered in pounds and ounces. The general health of women is so intimately connected with the local health of the womanly organs that when these are diseased the whole body suffers loss. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription cures womanly diseaaeo. It establishes regularity, stops weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulcera tion and cures female weakness. W I am very glad to let other poor sufferers know what Dr. Pierce’s medicines have done for mo.” writes Mrs. Edwin H. Gardner, of Beech wood. Norfolk Co., Mass. (Bor 70.)

House Adjourned Todsy lo Meet Again on Friday—The House Committee on Rules Announced by the Speaker—Richardson and Underwood the Democratic Members, Two Plant System Freight Cars Bunged up This Morning. From Wednesday's Daily Herald. Two Plant System freight cars fig ured in a smashup this morning about 10 o’clock. Itocoarred in tbe yard ad joining the Plant freight depot, and was witnessed by a number of persons on Washington aDd Flint streets. An engine was backing into the yard pushing a string of a dozen box oars. The engineer’s vision was obstructed by a great pile of wood on the tender, and he was relying on signals from train hands or yard employes. As the result of some misunderstanding, the line of cars was pushed back too rapidly, bringing about the wreck. There is a great pile of earth and a buttress of heavy timbers at the Flint street end of eaoh of the tracks in the yard. One of the cars smashed against the buttress and demolished it, and ran up the high mound of earth. For a moment the car stood directly on end, then came down with a terrifio crash, missing the trucks and making a great smashup. The car next to it was also considerably damaged, but did not leave its tracks. Several, pedestrians were on the sidewalk within a few feet of the wreck when it occurred, and these were seen to scamper for safety with out wasting any time.

Immediately after the general business of the konseand senate had been transacted the message was presented to the two houses by Maj. O. L Pruden, assistant secretary to th; president, and was read by the clerks of the honse and senate. The strictest attention was paid to the reading of the message, hardly a mem ber of either honse leaving his seat dur ing the time It was being delivered. Passages of the message evoked mur murs of approval, the portioh relating to anarchy bringing forth the warmest applause. II. S. GUNBOAT BDSY.
