TORE UP A RAIL.
Negroes Suspected of Doing it to Sc
cure Ride.

Macon, Ga, July 25.-The passengers
on the Central train on the main stem,
due in Macon this morning at o'clock,
report narrow escape from a catastrophe
as a result of the work of train wreckers.
When the train was about six miles south
of Millen the engineer saw a man wildly
waving a light in front of the
train and at once put on the air
brakes The man with the light
said that he had surprised party of
men, but whether white or black he
could not say, tearing up the track, and
a rail torn from the cross ties lying across
the road bed, corToborated his story. The
place was lonely and well suited for train
Wreckers, and according to eye witnesses,
the train, which was running about 30
miles an hour, would have been dashed to
destruction had not the timely interven-
ton of the negro prevented it. There
is no clue to who the parties
are, as the negro did not get near enough
to see or recognize them The theory Of
the railroad men is thata gang of negroes
planned the whole thing to secure a free
ride, as on the arrival of the train in Ma
con two negroes were seen on top of the
cars, but escaped before being captured.
The man who gave the warning, however,
tells a straight tale The train was only
delayed fOrty-tive minutes. the loose rail
being put in place by the train crew.

PENsToN PREJUpIcEs.
The Republicans Trying to Make Cap
ital Out OF Recent Rulings.

Washington, July 25-The repub-
licans have been endeavoring
to make political capital among the old
soldiers of the country by representing
that the democrats think more of pre-
senting a record for having saved a few
dollars than of carrying out the nation S
pledges to the men who went to the front.
They point, as an instance, to the recent
ruling of Secretary Smith on the Bennett
case, in which he holds that the law of
1890 is only applicable TO cases Of diSabil-
ity, and under which a number of pen
sioners have been suspended from the pen
sion rolls. They have succeeded in many
parts of the country in creating "A good
deal of dissatisfaction among the veterans
of the war by their representations as to
this ruling and have spread the impress
sion chat similar action viii be taken
against all other classes OF persons. 1t
now develops that Secretary Smith is
not the originator of this ruling. and that
a precisely similar one was made by his
republican predecessor.
