RUN INTO A FREIGHT.

Failure of a Train Hand to Close a
switch Causes q Collision.
TENNILLE, GA, March 2.-The north
bound passenger train on the Central
railroad collided with the cab OF freight
train No. at sun Hill last night, totally
wreeking the cab and engine, which
caught fire and burned. Conductor NJ.
Burke jumped from the cab window and
fell upon his head, but was not seriously
injured. The engineer, fireman and
brakeman on the passenger en-
CINE had most miraculous
escape from death. When Engineer
GOOlsby saw the danger he reversed mis-
engine and quickly warned his men who
dropped down behind the boiler and await
ed the crash. The engine went through
the cab, tearing the cab of the engine
away. The force of the shock made the
engine rebound, thus saving the men, as
they would have been caught under the
cab and burned, as it was consumed in a
few moments. The accident was caused
by the switchman on train No. : falling to
close the switch after his train had taken
the side track. Train No. SO expected TO
find a clear track and was not supposed
TO StOD at 1890.

STEAMSHIP RATES.
The Fight with the Mallory Line Da ally
Growing ia Bitterness.

/ 1fO wing ia bttEFrnesu.
JSCKsoNvILLE, FLA, March 2.--There
Is as yet no let up in the rate war in
augurated here a few days ago between
the rival steamship lines TO Florida. This
morning Col. c. d. Owens, traffic mana
ger Of the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, is out in an open letter, in which
he shows up the true inwardness" of the
! agreements, or, rather, non-agreem ents,
/ heretofore existing between the three
lines. Col. Owens states that the
Mallory line has been allowed to
charge s. less on passenger rates
! from New York to this city than the
| Charleston and Savannah lines for the
reason urged time and again by MIR.
Mallory that his line only made weekly
trips, and stopping as they did at Port
Royal and Brunswick, they could not
offer the same inducements to travel as
the ships Of the Ocean steamship Com
panY, that the ships OF the latter company
were superior in build, epeed, etc.. and
that his line could not hope TO success
fully compete with them. That last fall
the Mallory line put on semi-weekly ships
and thar then tne other lines insisted that
the Mallory line should increase
lts rates, the conditions upon
which it had been permitted TO
charge less having been removed; that
Nit. Mallory first agrr cd TO this, but
afterwards refused to sign the written
agreement. and the agreement fell
through. The meeting OF last week was
neld at the instance of the Charleston
steamship Company; that at this meeting
Nj. Mallory again urged the inequality OF
his line, whereupOn it was proposed that
II he would publish his reasons for
charging less than the other lines they
would agree to the disparity in rates.
Mr.. Mallory refused To agree to this.
Failing TO agree on passenger
rates, it was useless to attempt
an agreement on freight tariffs.
so the affair ended. Col. Owens further
says that the Mallory line, with the sole
exception of ternandIna freights, has
the same transfers" that the other lines
are subject to. He says the managers Of
his line prefer to keep its present stand
ard of passenger rates, with its accom-
panying safety and elegance than to enter
into any indiscrimip ate cutting that would
only result in lowering the character of
the service, that in the matter
OF freight rates the patrons of the Savan-
nah line will have no occasion to CON-
olain, and that they will always be found
as low as the lowest, and its patrons will
ind that IN this, as in every other in
stance, their interests will be fully pro-
tected.
The New York, Charleston and Florida
line Ia the meantime have announced a
reduction OF 30 per cent. to meet that of
the Mallory line, already announced. So
the fight goes bravely on.

A Majority of the Groups in Favor of
Their Expulsion.
PARIS, March 2.-M. Clemenceau caus-
ed a sensation in the Chamber OF Depu.
ties to-day by demanding that the French
princes be expelled from the country. He
denied that their expulsion would be
contrary to republican principles. Those
principles, he said were based upon the
rights of man. The princes claimed by
virtue of their birth more rights than
other men enjoyed, and they therefore
condemned themselves by placing them
selves outside of democratic society. NJ
Clemenceau was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. The majority of the groups in
the Chamber of Deputies are now in IA
vor of the expulsion of princes.
