Powers to Oppose Claims of Allies PARIS, Nov 9 An ominous shadow is being east over Europe by the mailed hand of the triple alliance. Definite announcement has come from Vienna that Austria will refute to consent to Servia having an outlet on the Adriatic sea. This for years lias been the national dream of the and their demands in this respect will be upheld by the other members of the Balkan league Italy and Germany are expected to support Austria. This, in condensed form, is the an ticipated fruits of the victory of the allies over the 'lurks: Montenegro to annex the vilayet of Scutari. The Sanjak of Novibazar to revert to Austria. Russia will insist that the Darda nelles be opened and remain neutral to commerce and fleets of the world. The frontiers of Greece added to Servia Bulgaria to annex all the Turkish territory lying between its southern boundary and Turkey Servia to secure one or more sea ports on the Adriatic. Roumania expects a reward for re maining neutral. The report that Adrianople has sur rendered to the Bulgars, hut that the Bulgarian government is keeping the fact secret to p-event European inter vention until Constantinople has fallen, was accepted here in a number of quar ters as true.

WRECK Twelve Injured, One Fatally, in Collision of Freight and Work Trains Near Cartersville. Tracks were cleared and traffic re sumed on the Western and Atlantic railroad this morning, after the road had been blocked for fifteen hours by a wreck that killed eight persons, prob ably fatally injured one and more or less seriously hurt eleven others. All , the dead and injured were employees |of the Western .and Atlantic and I Louisville and Nashville railroads. The dead are: A. B. Baker. Dalton, foreman W. & A. ! work gang. i Ed Blankenship, Cass Station, as- I sistant foreman W. & A. work gang. I Six negro laborers, members of W. & | A. work gang. Probably fatally injured: A. A. Eidson, Kennesaw, L. & N. fireman. Others injured: W. A. Gaston, Atlanta. W. & A. con ductor. W. G. P. Newman, Dalton, W. & A. I engineer. | H. G. Edwards, Atlanta, L. &N. en gineer. Ernest y. Head, Tunnel Hill, W. & A. flremAn. J. A. Jordan, Atlanta. W. & A. flag man. White, L. & N. brakeman. Five negro laborers, members of W. & A. work gang. Seven other laborers escaped injury. Wreck Near Acworth. The wreck took place late yesterday afternoon between Bartow and Ac— | worth, tvhen L. & N. southbound freight train No. 9, coming to Atlanta, ! collided head-on with a W. & A. work I train going to Emerson to take a sid- I ing for the night. The two engines and several cars were demolished and the tracks completely' blocked. For fear other victims might be un der the wreckage, the wrecking crews rushed from Atlanta, would not burn the wreckage last night, removing it with derricks. A relief train from Car tersville was hurried to the scent* and the injured were taken to that city for medical attention, while the dead were turned over to undertakers to be pre pared for burial. Because of the wreck it was neces sary to detour all W. & A. and L. & N. trains, except those of the Blue Ridge line of the latter road, which leave the W. & A. at Marietta, south of Ac worth. The late afternoon and night L. & N. trains to and from Knoxville and the north xx ere routed over the Seaboard Air Line between Cartersville and Atlanta. Those of the VV. & A. to and from Chattanooga and Nash ville were sent over the Southern’s tracks between Atlanta and Dalton. Victims Caught Unawares. Misunderstanding of train orders is assigned as the cause of the wreck. The heavy' freight train, with a mis cellaneous cargo of coal, lumber, mer chandise and manufactured products, was bowling along at a lively clip when the string of five flat ears, pushed by the light enginx* of the work train, hove into sight. It was too late to avoid a crash. The freight plowed through the flats and was derailed when it struck j the work train locomotive. The work gang foremen and negroes were riding on the flat cars. They* were taken completely' unawares and those who did not have the forethought to jump and save themselves were crushed to death or injured. The engineers saved themselves by jumping. Fire man Eidson, however, was caught on I the wrong side and could not save him self from being crushed. 1 Fireman Head, though hurt, ran back ’ two miles to a telegraph office and re ported the wreck. Then the relief and - wreck trains were ordered out. Those on the two trains who were unhurt and people from the countryside re moved some of the injured and dead i i from the wreckage before the relief ■' train arrived. i, MRS.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS Postmasterehip contests already loom large on the Democratic horizon in Georgia, and the prospects are for some lively times ahead in the matter of plucking here and there those most desirable plums. Already there are 42 candidates for the job in Thomasville. This if. as yet, far ibove the aver age, of course, but it is significant, nevertheless. Rome Is to have one of the pret tiest fights—only it will not be a "fight” exactly—■ of them all, even if nobody other M' jamm » w than the two present avowed candi dates throws his hat into the ring. John M. Vandiver, present tax col lector and former postmaster under President Cleveland, wants the Rome postmastership, and so does Jack Mc- Cartney. managing editor of The Rome Tribune-Hera Id. That is going to make it mighty em barrassing for Rome to take sides. Both of these aspirants are very pop ular, both exceptionally fine fellows and both amply equipped for the job. If either would retire in the other’s fa vor, Rome doubtless would make it unanimous. Rather than choose between McCart ney and Vandiver, the average Roman will prefer to take to the woods, in all probability. Those few people who just natural ly will not be happy in this world, no matter xvhat happens, are viewing pes simistically nowadays the overwhelm ing Democratic majority in the next house of representatives in Washing tdh. Said one Geogian today, discussing the matter: "It would be much better if the margin of control were closer. "When th» margin is narrow, con gressmen are much more dependent upon one another than they are when it is wide. And the inevitable conse quence is that peace in the family is more easily obtained and preserved. “With a big margin, factions arise and mean family spats occur. The temptation to row is much greater in a big majority than in a small one. "Democrats are not as easily disci plined as Republicans, moreover—and while this may be to their credit in a way, it frequently interferes seriously with the progress of legislation along lines likely' to stand before the country in its broader aspect. ”1 would much have preferred a nar row margin of control. As an immedi ate example of the tendency to insur gency in a big majority, I call attention to the fact that t'ongressman Henry, of Texas, even noxx - is snapping at Champ Clark and announcing himself a receptive candidate for speaker of the house! “Imagine disputing Clark’s right to be renamed the speaker! It makes me tired—and it argues no good!” There is. to be sure, more than one grain of wholesome truth in what this gentleman says—still, the victory yet is so young that most folks of Demo cratic persuasion will prefer to cross no bridges before they reach them.

A full set of officers were named— | and to prove that it proposes to be a real, genuine Georgia county, after an approved fashion, it produced a large crop of candidates for the honors.

NEVIN. the honor of occupying the baker's doz en of seats of the mighty, for the time going begging. Comes this pathetic story from The Thomasville Press: Tuesday’ morning while the big press was running at a lively clip, driven by an electric motor, the , head of a bolt in the machine flew off and fell among a set of cog wheels. Crash! Sna! Pop! Bang! And all was over. Results: A cog wheel txvo feet long xvas stripped, and a large casting collar that held the driving wheel in place broke. Gee whiz! And that was election day, too, and Wilson and Marshall sweeping both the state and the na tion! A great many people are strangely confused about the functions and op eration of the "electoral college,” so called. The popular notion that the “elec toral college” is some sort of national institution is all a mistake. There are, as a matter of fact, 48 "electoral colleges”—one in each state. The electors chosen, under the laws of the states, meet in tiie respective capitals threof on tiie first Monday in January and proceed to ballot, one time only, for a president and vice president. The results of these ballots are sealed and sent to Washington by individual state messengers, who must be chosen, as must secretaries of the "colleges,” from outside the membership of the “colleges.” These votes are delivered by the mes sengers to the vice president of the United States, or in case there is no vice president, to the president pro tempore of the senate —in the present case, to Senator Bacon, of Georgia. Subsequently the two houses of con gress meet in joint session, canvass the entire electoral vote and declare the re sult. Joseph E. Pottle, brother of the ap peals court judge, and solicitor general of the Ocmulgee circuit superior court, is an Atlanta visitor. Mr. Pottle xvas accompanied on this trip to Atlanta by a particularly hand some gold-headed umbrella; and there by hangs a tale. Not a great while ago, Mr. Pottle successfully prosecuted for murder a man in his circuit, and the brother of the slain man attended the trial. So pleased was he with the way Mr. Pottle handled the case that he sent the so licitor, a few weeks after the trial, the aforesaid umbrella and an even more beautiful gold-headed cane. He was under no sort of obligation to send the solicitor anythng, of course, for that of ficial merely was performing his duty under the law, and for that particular reason Pottle appreciated the gift thor oughly. In al! his practice as prosecuting at torney lie never before was remembered by any person in just that way. Now that the Democrats have tiie new congress assured, and the matter of committee plums is being consid ered, the friends of Congressman-elect Charles Crisp are talking him for Mr. Brantley’s place on the ways and means committee of the house. This is a high committee, and would not ordinarily go to a new member, but Mr. Crisp might not be held strictly within that rule, as he has been a very important part of the house —its par liamentarian —for the past two years, is the son of a former speaker, and is very popular among the members. Mr. Brantley’s going out generally is regretted in Georgia, but the hope that "Charlie” Crisp will land Brantley’s ways and means berth is all but uni versal among those who know Mr. Crisp here in his home state.
