— THE 'ATLANTA A SUMMER NIGHT’S TRAGEDY WITH A COMIC DENOUEMENT To two of the little scene It was n tragedy; to her whose presence of mind and lawn hose prevented a cataclysm and earned for her a claim to the Car negie medal for heroism, and the one who, from the point of view of a very much Interested spectator, wit nessed the whole thing. It was the funniest bit of extravagant comedy ever seen on or off the stage. Here's what happened: The other night, a young couple were strolling down one of the beautifully shaded streets of one of Atlanta’s most delightful residence sections. It itai Just after supper; the atmosphere, iarm nn<! balmy, was aurcharged with serenity nnd peacefulness. There was not a nol.e to be heard, aave the oc casional lyric of the lanler In a grove or one of the streets most beautiful yards, nnd the raucous scraping of a Jack-o’-lantern, drawn along the tiled aldewalk by a little girl. . , The couple were very muchj£ l,0 ^! d In their conversation. The girl, pos sibly eighteen, was with her first sweetheart, agalnat whom no charge of beard could be preferred. The girl waa beautiful, her aplrftuelle face be ing made all the more entrancing by the filmy white dreas she wore. They were talking, and were loat to the world.' The little girl, pulling along the gaudy Jack-o'-lantern, drew nearer, hut the couple wotted not. The little girl didn’t either. She waa rubbering across the street, nnd brushed against the vision In whlta. Then them waa a flash of flume, a frightened flutter, and n frenxled. fu- rloso shriek. The girl's flliny skirt had caught lira In the rear from the. Jack-o'-lantern! Then came the ludldrous rescue. .A buxom matron, who was sprinkling the lawn before which the tragedy look place, calmly turned her hose,oh the flaming girl, the deluge of cold water Immediate)’ extinguished the blaze that’ waa about to consume the youthful She: , the boy caught a blast II In th< .If knock th# wobbling : the little the lmp< nnd the Jack-o’- lantem was left, a drowned wreck, with naught lef( of Ita pristine beau ty. The young couple returned to’ the girl's home, presumably for repairs, but they were not so absorbed going back. ' CONGRESS HOLDS TEDDY FROM OYSTER BAY HOME ny Private heated WJr».

The general Idea of the new road la riot a new one, and a company waa recently formed for the promotion of the Idea, J. H. Connor being made president. On Friday, however, It was announced that President Connor dis posed of the road to New York capital ists, and he and the old directors of the company will retire, although the new dwnera will have their co-opera tion and hearty support In the build ing of the road that will connect Nash ville by a direct route to tha Bir mingham district, and thence to At lanta and the coast. Mr. Connor Is authority for the state ment that the new purchasers have agreed to complete the road within fourteen months, and that already the second division of the line Is nearing completion, the American Railway Construction Company having charge of the work and having progressed rapidly. This company also has tha contract for tha building of the second aectlon of the road, which connects Huntsville with Nashville.' and work on that division la to begin next From Huntsville, Ala., the road la to continue south, and will cross the Ten nessee river at either Point Deposit, Neeman’s Ferry or Whtteaburg. Cross ing Sane Mountain the route will -be through Anniston, Talladega, Mont and ao on to the gulf. ... ..jcusalng the sale Mr. Connor has stated that negotiations for the sale had been pending with the New York people for some time, and while It hod been regarded as a sure thing, tha Eastern capitalists had held brick on account of the price. A study of the map shows that a road from Huntsville, via Anniston, to through the counties of Montgomery, through the counties of Madison. Etowah. Calhoun and Clay, would traverse the moat attractive Held In the entire South for a new railroad enterprise.. By diverging a little from the line aa already planned, and It Is said the matter la being con sidered. the line would traverse a aec tlon of western Georgia enormously rich In agricultural, mineral and tim bered properties It la quite probable that Georgia railroad Interests will be affected by the new line.
