Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 21.—Circuit
Judge B. M. Miller, who la the flrat to
organlzo a grand jury since the Louis
ville and Nashville railroad obtained
Its blanket Injunction against solicit
ors, sheriffs and other state officers,
amplifying an original Injunction so as
to prevent these officers from prosecut
ing the road for failure to put on the
state’s lower freight and passenger tar
iffs, has Instructed his grand jury not
to find Indictments. In no uncertain
tones he charged the grand jury Tues
day that a court of competent Jurisdic
tion had enjoined criminal prosecutions
under certain acts passed by tho re
cent legislature, and that until these
Injunction proceedings are passed upon
by the courts of the land there could
legally be no prosecutlona in the state
courts, ,,
It Is presumed that Judge Miller’s
example will be followed by other cir
cuit Judges and that no effort will be
made to find Indictments against the
Louisville and Nashville. That rood’s
puplshment, it would seen,, would coma
through tho loss of competitive busi
ness when the other roads put on the
lower rates next Monday.
Attorney General Garber has declined
to give out anything resulting from tho
conferences held yesterday at the state
capitol at Montgomery with the Cen
tral of Georgia and Atlantic Coast Line
with regard to their adopting the
course of the Southern in agreeing to
the lower freight nnd passenger tariffs.

EUROPEANS FLEE FROM
MAD MOROCCAN MOORS
Casa Blanca, Aug. 21.—European res-
Idents of coast towns, as well as those
of Morocco and Fes, are fleeing for
safety. Tho situation has grown acute
ly worse and a general Oriental war
with frightful results 1* expected to
materialise at any time. Tho attacks
by the Moors continue with regularity.
News of the proclamation of Mulal
Halid as sultan Is received with alarm
by most people, although the soldiers
ore glad of tho opportunity for a cam
paign that will take them throughout
Morocco and possibly In other African
territory.
Tho opinion prevails that France will
not bo able to keep within the limits of
the Algeclras convention, although thla
would mean the opening of a long and
costly war.
It Is estimated that the Moors lost
7,000 In battle yesterday.

New York, Aug. 21.—-A strange crime
that teday ta baffling the police
Greater Now York was revealed when
tho body of Mrs. Scham, 'a young
widow, was found In her apartments
in Brooklyn, with the skull crushed and
with marks of a stroller's Angers on
her throat and the bloodstained arid
disordered room showing signs of
terrible struggle with the murderer.
All that the police know is that the
slayer laid In wait for the woman and
killed her a few minutes after sho had
parted from neighbors at the door of
her house. There was no Indication
of robbery and no evidence has been
found that would tend to show that
the woman, who bore an excellent repu-
taion, was a victim of Jealousy.
Although half a doson families oc
cupy apartments In the same house,
nnd there Is plain evidence that the
young widow mado a desperate strug
gle for life, no peraon has been found
v. !io heard the slightest noise in the
room, only a few feet distant from
somo of them. T)>e woman had been
dead two days before a neighbor, whose
apartments are Just across the hhll,
discovered her death.
One man, an occupant of the same
house, has been locked up by the po
lice ns a "material witness." His ar
rest was caused by the discovery of
a stained knife In his room, but the
police said today they did not believe
ho had part In the crime.
A description of the supposed slayer
has been obtained and the whole city
is being searched for him. The mo
tive for the crime, however, is a com
plete mystery to the police.

CHANCE IN EAST
New York, Aug. 21.—The atrlke of
the telegraphers employed by the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
Companies In this city remains un
changed. Although the officials of
both companies claim they have all
the men they want and are handling
the usual amount of business, their
statements nre Inughed at by tho union
leaders, who say the claims are not
borne out by facts.
Union men declare there has not
been one desertion from the ranks of
the strikers, that In the main offices of
both companies only a few of their old
employees are at work, tho remainder
of the force being made up of branch
office managers, chief operators and
clerks who at one time have worked
at the key. The few men on duty are
about exhausted, being kept on duty
until exhausted and fall asleep over
their work.

Fifteen minutes later there was a call
for the patrol wagon. Policeman Qal-

"What do you want the wagon for?"
asked the sergeant. "Got a coat? Well,
can’t you bring It In on your wheel?’’
"Bzxz—brrrr—bzzzz," said the ’phone.
Officer Gallaher couldn’t get con
nections with No. 21 again, so, as he
knew of no way to fold a goat and put
It on his wheel, he walked back lead
ing the animal. II# was a big “Billy"

who enjoyed the giuit’s antics follow

wreck which endangered the
the entire train crew and several pas
sengers, occurred yesterday afternoon
shortly after tho Seaboard train left
this city for RoKmart. It was a mixed
freight and paf-enger train, carrying
several passengers and fifteen loaded
freight cars. The train was running at
a fast clip when, as It approached >vlth-
In 200 yards of the bridge, an Iron struc
ture 700. feet long, spanning the Eto
wah river, the engine left the track.
Tho momentum of the loaded cars
pushed the engine up the grade ap
proaching the bridge, and the monster
locomotive ran the entire length of the
bridge, bumping along the crosstlee.
When It was seen that the engine was
off the rails, and approaching tho
bridge running on the ties at such a
rate. It Is said the engineer and fire
man Jumped, not taking time to apply
the brakes. The,locomotive stopped on
the trestle work nt the other end of
the bridge, and, upon examination, It
was found that but alight damage had
had been done to either bridge or en
gine.
A locomotive was telephoned for, and
It went from this place to pull tho
coaches back to Cartersville while tho
wrecker was being sent from Atlanta
to put the engine on the track.
