Railway bridge obstrueting Navig alton
in the Arkansas River.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. IA queer
complication exists at the Missouri Pa
ciiic bridge across the Arkansas river.
Several days ago freight car jumped
the track on the bridge, damaging The
draw SO that to move it will result in
the collapse of the structure Several
boats were tied up at the levee ut this
time, awaiting a rise in the river, which
has been coming down ever since the
accident occurred. Wednesday the
Mary Morgan approached the bridge
and gave the customary signal, but no
attention was paid to it, though repeat
ed several times.
No satisfactory explanation being
forthcoming from the building officials,
the boats captain reported to Captain
Tabor, of the United States engineer
corps. That official on Thursday morn
ing proceeded TO give the Mary Morgan
the right of way of the channel. He
ordered steam raised in one of the
United States boats lying at the wharf
about mile above the bridge, and in
personal command Of the boat, slowly
dr1tted IN the direction OF the obStTuc-
ton. When within about fifty yards of
the bridge he ordered the American
flag hoisted, and after the pilot had
blown four distinct whistles Captain
Tabor, standing upon the deck, de-
manded of the bridge attendant in the
name of the United States to open the
draw.
There was no steam in the little boiler
on the bridge, and the man in charge
paid no attention to the order of the
federal official, 50 the snag boat re-
turned to its moorings and Captain
Tabor went to his Office and sent an Of
fetal report to the war department ex-
planning the situation and entering com
plant against the Missouri Pacific for
obstructing the channel of the Arkan-
sas river. Owners of boats at the levee
will sue the bridge company for dam

him to the floor and, pointing pistol
at his head, ordered him to lie still. A
diamond stud valued at $500, three
pairs of earrings worth several hundred

The Crop VIII BE Short, but the Farmers
VIII Make Money.

The melon crop is being moved at a
right lively rate by the railroads, and the
season is well open. Carloads of the
Kolb Gem pass through Atlanta every
day South Georgia is doing all the ship
ping. Coming ut this time, the crop pro-
yides the lines with traffic for which they
are grateful.
There is no doubt that the crop will be
q short one. All over the melon section
the crop is suffering for rain. The acreage
is considerably lower this year than last
and now the drought has cut down the
Yield until experts have come to the con-
clusion that there will not be more than
half Il crop.
The melons are small on account of the
long dry spell, but the prices are good
The buyers are paying from 500 to $3.50
a carload on the side track at the shippiIs%
point and the planters will make money
this year. That first carload which went
to Chicago last week was sold com
mission, and brought the shipper 500.
Freight rates from south Georgia to Ohio
river points are the same as last year
about $50 per car.
OF the melons grown between Albany
and Valdosta, 10 per cent go west, and %
per cent east and north. Most of the
melons east of Naldosta go east and north.
The two lines to the west from the melon
fields are the Louisville and Nashville and
the Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis.
The latter works with the Western and
Atlanic and the Central through Atlanta,
and the Louisville and Nashville takes up
the melons ut Montgomery.
