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. TROOPS AGAIN NEEDED. Once More the Mining Trouble* In Kentucky Reach Acute Stage.

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.

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.

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 HUNDREDS L08E LIFE. Disastrous 8tormt Sweep English Coast and Waves Claim Victims.
