The dead are Bob Hall, of 353 But ler street, and Frank Matthews, whose address Is unknown. George Mathis and Mike Moncla, white, were slight ly Injured by the mass of earth which covered them. Just opposite the Temple Baptist church Is the big excavation of the terminals, where Bcott Brothers, con tractors, are digging deep into the soil with steam shovels and a big gang of men. Abutting the curb line on West Hunter street Is a perpendicular em bankment more than 25 feet high. Its soil streaked with crevices caused by heavy blasting. Wednesday morning a big gang ' at work at the foot of the cliff, digging still farther under the treacherous soil. One of the foremen saw the earth be ginning to give way at the top, and yelled a warning. Most of the men Jumped from under the falling clay, but several were knocked down and es caped with difficulty. Two failed to escape, and were burled deep under the earth, at least 75 cubic yards cov ering them. In an effort to save the two work men, the whole gang was set to work, and for forty-fivo minutes they dug like beavers to remove the mass of loose earth. When the two negroea were reached at last they were dead, having been crushed and suffocated. TOOK L T [STAKE Special to The Georgian. nawklnarllle, Gn„ June 5.—The death of Stephen 51.

FREIGHT TRAFFIC ONLY GAINER BY TRACKAGE REAL Not Believed That Seaboard Will Operate Passenger Trains Over Georgia. Although President W. A. Garrett, of the Seaboard haa left Atlanta, gome of the other officiate who came here with him to arrange with the Georgia rail road, for trackage rights are still here and were busy Wcdneaday perfecting plans under the new arrangement. All during the morning First Vice President L. Sevier was engaged In consultation with General Freight Agent C. It. Capps, of Norfolk: As* alatant General Freight Agent J, A, Pride, of Atlanta, and several other of. flclals. Vice President Sevier will re main In Atlanta until Friday night, and while here direct his attention to mat ters connected with freight rates and the railroad commission. While It It admitted by railroad men that a trackage arrangement with the Georgia railroad, whereby tho Sea board may run passenger trains In and out of the old union depot over the tracks of the Georgia railroad, will save considerable delay and the backing out of trains, all agree that the arrange ment to run Seaboard trains over the Georgia road to Macon is of doubtful benefit. • No Passenger Traffic. In fact passenger traffic by this route and then over the Macon, Dublin and Savannah to Savannah from Atlanta Is considered out of the question. It le pointed out that In order to get to Ma con over the Georgia road from At' lanta, a Journey of 302 miles Is neeessl. tated, while the Southern Is only 33 miles and the Central 103. It le nec cssary to run trains away from Ma con to Camak and then back In southwesterly direction to Macon. While none of the details of the ar rangement with the Georgia road have been mado public. It Is generally be lieved that nothing more than a freight traffic arrangement la being consid ered. This will put the Seaboard In a position to receive through freight In Savannah for Atlanta. Such freight would be handled hy the Seaboard from Savannah to Vldalla; then over the M„ D. nnd S. to Macon and from Macon hauled by Georgia railroad en gines over that road 202 miles to At lanta. Whllo such a route Is over 100 miles longer, It Is pointed out by Sea board officials that It can be handled quicker than probably the ..Central or Southern could handle It on account of the congested condition of the freight yards. It Is said that this freight could be on Its way to Atlanta- by a longer route while It would be lying In (he Southern or Central yards at Macon. The trackage arrangement In Atlanta will save the Seaboard trains from making the big loop around the city In getting out end from turning trains around on the "Y" end In this manner time will be saved. Such an arrange ment was sought at the time the Sea board entered Atlanta several years ago, but was blocked at that time. In nny event, neltlcr the Central nor the Southern officials seriously contem plate any serious competition from the Seaboard from the new arrangement.

White or cream grounds, with tiny hair-line checks, with a stripe of color intersecting at inch apart inter* vals. Again, it’s a black or navy blue ground, with hair-line check of white, barred off with dark over plaids. Or a pale green, crossed with lines of pink, most beautifully harmonized, the con trast so delicate that they never clash. Tans in two tones are included in several patterns. Fancy mixed weaves in a commingling of violets and green, in an effect that’s almost iridescent. Aud there are solid colors; light and medium grays. 44 to 54 inches wide. 1.50 and 1.75 Light Weight Wool Weaves. At Light summer effects also in these—two tones of tan or blue in shepherd checks.
