Chicago, Dee. 13.—Stuyvesant Ft all
has been spending a few days In get- _ __ „„„„„ „ u
ting acquainted with Chicago, which! i ,, 't'ls! , il list isamel i,y ihe rCi company con
i'* declare* he will make hi a future j they positively assert, met their'death"last
home. This Is a contingency based | fbursday.
upon his winning his suit against Ed
ward H. Rarrlman and the conae-
quent regaining of control of the Il
linois Central railroad.
For several days, while court pro
ceedings have been In progress be
fore Judge Ball, Mr. Fish has been
insidiously working his way through a
long calling list of prominent Chicago,
ans. Incidentally, his calls are said to
have had a good efTect on the proxy
Hat In his possession.
That which apparently appeals most
to the banking and other business In
terests Is the assertion that Mr. Fish
purposes running the Illinois Central
from Chicago and making It an abso
lutely independent property, unafftll-
sted with any Wall street Interest,
free to develop Its own territory to
the fullest, and ready and free to bene-
m by any Interchange of traffic with
any and all lines. It Is Mr. Fish's
purpose to maintain It as an Independ
ent Illinois corporation.
According to one of Mr. Fish's attor
neys. Wall street Is turning against
Harrlman, and,many of the financiers
blame him for a good share of the
financial troubles. Many of them have
tranbferred their proxies to Fish.

New Orleans, La., D«c. 2 3.—The
Jetties at th« south of the southwest
I ass of the Mississippi will be finished
this week, thus bringing to a close on*
of the greatest channel making under
takings In the history of American
river Improvement. There Is some
dredging between the jetties to be
done. These jetties will give the south
one of the deepest harbors In the world
by opening.tq .the .access of the largest
steamships uflout the 100 and 200-foot
depths of the lower Mississippi river.
The harbor, thus made accessible, has
navigable water connection With at
least a doten states bordering the
Mississippi and Its tributaries, the
Ohio, Missouri, Aiknnsas and Red
rivers. About >6,000,000 Is being spent
«>n the Improvement by the United
States government, which has the
work In charge. ' »
The work was begun four years ago.
The Jetties are nearly parallel walls,
one about three and the other about
f*ur miles long, lying over half u mile
Apart and built In the shoal water at
the Junction of the pass with the Gulf
of Mexico, Their purpose Is to confine
end thus accelerate the river's current
across a mud bar about three miles
1-rond, so as to produce a channel at
b-ast 1.000 feet Wide with a minimum
depth of 35 feet. The swift current
which they have produced, aided by
‘• edging, has caused a tremendous

thf beginning of the work the depth
was but little over a man’s head.
One man was killed and several re
ceived slight Injuries In a head-on col
lision Saturday afternoon on the South
ern, In the Inman yards. The dead
man Is William R. Race, a white fire
man. He was caught between the ten
der and cab of bis engine and crushed
to death.
The collision occurred about 5 o'clock,
when passenger train No. 3, north
bound for Chattanooga, ran Into a
southbound freight just entering At
lanta. It Is said the accident was the
result of a mistake in allowing the pas
senger train to take the track it did,
and that the switchman should have
thrown It on the northbound mnln line.
The engines were close together be
fore either engine crew realized the
trains were on the same track and that
a collision was Imminent. Fireman
Race, of the frplght, was attempting to
jump when the engines crashed and
he wns caught between the tender and
the cab. The engineer and the head
brakeman. who was riding on the fire
man's side of the cab. were both unin
jured, altho they did not have time to
leave the engine.
The body of the dead fireman wns
removed to the undertaking parlors of
H. M. Patterson & Son, and later was
eent to Little Falls. N. Y.. the unfor
