SEABOARD COMPANY
Organized to Acquire Controlling
Interest of the System.
TO OUST DOMINANT FACTORS
Capital Stock Is Five Millions and
Proposition Is to Purchase 200,
000 Shares Common and
Preferred Stock.
According to a Baltimore special
the Seaboard Company, incorporated
| at Trenton, N. J., Wednesday, is form
ed to acquire control of the Seaboard
Air Line railway from the dominant in
terests of this property. For this pur
pose the new company will, it is under
stood, secure the stocks owned by
John S. Williams & Sons and the Rich
mond Safe Deposit and Trust Company
of Richmond, Va.; J. W. Mlddendorf
1 & Co " the Continental Trust Company
i | William A. Marborg and Townsend,
Scott & Co., of Baltimore; C. Sidney
j Shepard, of New Haven; William F.
Cochran, of Yonkers, N. Y.; Pember
j ton, McAdoo & Co., and Ladenburg,
Thaiman & Co., of New York city.
The new company is chartered with
sweeping privileges, including the
right 4.0 build and operate railroad
lines, steamship lines, telephone and
: telegraph lines, and to deal in bonds
and mortgages. The authorized capl
i tal of the company is $5,000,000.
The present plan contemplates the
| issuance of $250,000 of capital. It is
proposed to acquire 200,000 shares of
the , ommon and preferred stocks of
the Seaboard Air Line railway out of
the whole issue of the two classes of
480,000 shares.
There Is now outstanding about $19,
000,000 of the preferred stock and $29,
000,000 of the common stock.
The company will be vested with ab
solute control of the Seaboard system.
The interests who turn over their
stocks to it will be the controlling spir
its. It is learned that the basis of ex
change provides for the issuance of
4 per cent debenture bonds of two
classes. For Seaboard preferred stock,
class A will be given, and for Seaboard
common stock class B will be Issued.
In both instances the exchange is par
for par.
The stockholders wll also receive
sto^k in the company. It is stated that
the Seaboard company will only issue
2.500 shares of stock of the par value
of $100 a share. For every 100 shares
of Seaboard stock of either issue one
share of stock in the new company
will be given in addition to the deben
ture bonds.
Another proposition mentioned is for
250,000 shares of the par value of $1.
In the latter case the exchange for
s ea board railway stocks would be
share for share. This centralizes the
control cf the Seaboard Air Line sys
tem and makes it impossible for a rive .1
to secretly buy either a majority or a
large minority interest In the proper
ty. This permanently establishes its
independence in the hands of Messrs.
Williams, Middendorf and their asso
elates.
President John Skel-ton Williams, of
(h e Seaboard Air Line when the Balti
more Epeeial was shown to him at his
home, said it contained all the facts
he could give out. He added that ho
had no further statement to make.
NO AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
Georgia Solons Kill Measure For New
Voting System—End of Filibustering.
Only one thing was done by the
Georgia house of representatives Wed
nesday morning, so far as legislation
was concerned. It killed the bill pro
viding for an Australian ballot system
In Georgia. The vote was 78 to 68
against the bill.
There was a tendency on the part of i
some of the members to prevent the
bill from coming up, but finally the I
vote was taken on the main question,
after numerous speeches from the va
rious members In the house. The yeas
and nays were called for, and it wa.i
during the call that Speaker Little
made his "bombshell” ruling that after
the main question had been put :
no
other motion could be made. This rul
ing will prevent all filibustering her*
after.

“™ N «oes up in smoke.
Big Warehouse Burned and Over Two
' Thousand Bales Destroyed, Ag
gregating Loss of $100,000.
The worst cotton fire that has visit
ed Albany, Ga., in fifteen years occur
red Friday night, when the big ware
house of A. W. Muse & Co., corner
| Broad ly destroyed. and Front streets, was complete
Saturday afternoon the rescue fire en
■ gines, which had been pumping from
the river for about nine hours, became
disabled, and the flames .n the waro
house were free to feed on anything
they might reach. Hundreds of bales
1 of cotton that might have been saved
'
but for the giving out of the water
supply and the subsequent breaking
down of the steamer were lnirneu be
! fore the eyes of helpless on-looking
persons.
The blaze was discovered at 11
o’clock p. rn., and when the firemen cn
tered the building the whole Interior
was a roaring furnace. There were
about 2,500 bales of cotton stored in
the warehouse, and all were wholly or
partially destroyed. The fire depart
ment exhausted the supply of water in
the standpipe reservoir at 5:30 o’clock
Saturday morning, having played
about 700,000 gallons on the fire. The
reserve steamer was then carried to
Flint river, which Is only a couple of
hundred yards from tue scene of the
conflagration unth disabled.
Tile value of the cotton stored In
the warehouse, most of which belonged
to farmers in the section,'is estimated
at about $87,500. The warehouse build
ing was worth $10,000, and bagging,
ties, provisions, etc., stored therein,
$3,000 or $4,000 more, making the to
tal not less than $100,000.
THOUSAI.DS VISIT SCENE.
So Far Twelve Charred Bodies Have
Ecen Taken From Baby Mine.
The reports from the Baby mine at
Pocahontas, i a., Saturday night were
that the fire practically has been ex
tinguished, three huge streams of wa
ter having been pouring into the mine
for forty-eight hours. Lines of hose
were run far into the Interior of the
shaft through another passage, and
brave men battled with the flames,
which at times almost brought death to
themselves. During the day three more
bodies were taken out, all badly char
red.
The list of bodies already recovered
numbers twelve, and two or three of
the injured wi.- die. Eight bodies of
the unfortunates were buried Satur
day in the same cemetery where two
hundred ui more miners were buried
who met death in the same min« near
ly fifteen years ago.
On Sunday excursion trains carried
more than 2,000 people from the coal
fields of -'ocahontas, Flat Top and Elk
horn to the scene of the Baby mine dis
aster, and all (lay long the grounds
about the entrance to the mine shaft
was a mass of humanity. Many of
the miners, familiar woth those em
ployed there, stiu assert that at least,
eight bodies are yet within the mine.
The fallen slate is being removed, but
tho work is necessarily slow.
Money for relief is being raised by
popular subscription. The state mine
inspector is on the scene, hut as yet
has given out no statement regarding
the supposed cause of the disaster.

TRANSPORT ASHORE
Staunch Vessel, Hancock, Meets
Mishap in Japanese Waters.
CONGRESSIONAL PARTY ABOARD
Much Apprehension of Their Safety Is
Felt—Among Them is Senator
Bacon and Correspondent
J. K. Ohl, of Georgia.
A special from Nagasaki, Japan,
says: The United States transport
Hancock is ashore on the south side
of the straits of Shimonoseki. A Ger
man gunboat is assisting her. The
transport grounded on a saudy bottom.
On receipt of this telegram orders
were cabled from the war department
at Washington directing the quarter
master at Nagasaki to utilize the Slier
idan to bring the passengers of the
Hancock to the United States. It Is
expected that she will bring the con
gresslonal party, the sick, and the im
portant mail now on the Hancock.
Tho Hancock is the third United
States transport to meet with a mis
hap In Japanese waters recently. First,
tho Sheridan, having on hoard a num
ber of returning troops and the con
gresslonal party which had been visit
ing the Philippine islands, headed by
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, was de
tained at Nagasaki by a broken tn
shaft. Her passengers were transfer
red to the Warren, which sailed from
Nagasaki November 3.
Two days later the Warren sustain
ed damages In the Inland sea, which
made it necessary to return and dock
at Nagasaki. The Hancock was or
dered to proceed from Mnnlla to Naga
sakl and tc lake on board I he delayed
passengers, and it waR expected that
she would sail from the port named
November 13 for San Francisco. Mr.
Joslah K. Ohl, of The Atlanta Constitu
tion, is with the congressional party
on the Hancock.
RUHLIN WAS AN EASY THING.
Champion Pugilist Jeffries Had Small
Trouble In Retaining His
Laurels.
In. one of the most unsatisfactory
prize fights ever witnessed In this
country, which took place In San Fran
cisco Friday night, J. J, Jeffries proved
the victor over Gus Uuhlin, the Akron
giant.
In the fifth round of what was to
have been a twenty-round struggle
Ruhlin wilted and then surrendered
to the litter amazement and disgust of
the assembled thousands. No one was
more surprised at the outcome than
Jeffries himself, who asserted that
while he had delivered one telling
blow in the second round, he (liu not
expect to win the victory so easily.
Ruhlin’* sole explanation of the out
come of the fight is that he received
a chance blow which utterly disabled
him, and that Jeffries persisted in
fighting him low.
While Ruhlin will make no absolute
charge of Jeffries having committed a
foul, he intimates that ho was unfair
ly handled and injured as a result.
Ruhlin received the support of his sec
onds In this stand, who say that his
was a hopeless case after the second
round.
Almost from tho beginning of tho
fight, Ruhlin appeared frightened. The
tight was practically finished in tho
fifth round, when Jeffries landed a left
on Ruhiin’s jaw that, took all the fight
out of him. His seconds complained
bitterly, but Ruhlin Insisted that he
was the victim of an accident,. Jeffries
walked to Ruhiin’s corner, asked what
was the matter, then turned in disgust,
and proceeded to his dressing room,
while the spectators rose as one man
and cheered the champion, while they
denounced Ruhlin as a quitter and a
fakir. The police tumbled into the
ring, stopped two fights In which Cor
bett, the referee, and officers of the
club were involved. The utmost excite
ment prevailed, during which Ruhlin
made his way out of the ring

At morning, eve or noon,

Scissors sharp and razors keen.
