STRANGE RUMoRs.

Dispatches from Atlanta, Ga, say;
Sensational rumors about changes In
railroad circles arc flying about railroad
offices today, and some credence is being
given these reports, One of these rumors
is that Mr.. A. Pope, secretary Of the
Southern Railway aud Steamship associa-
tion. is TO be made traffic manager Of
the Seaboard Air line. TO succeed MIR,
q. V. Smith, who hus been too III To
attend to the duties of his position for
some time On top of this rumor comes
one which asserts that Mr., j. NJ, Culp
will DE made traffic manager Of the Cen
trail railroad, This. It is claimed, has
been in contemplation some time and is
move on the part Of Mr., j. Somers
Hayes, who was recently appointed
county receiver Of the Central by Justice
Jackson to represent the interest Of the
Richmond aud West Point Terminal. 1t
is stated that II Is more than likely that
the Richmond and DanyIlle will vote
their Central stock at the next meeting
Of the Central road stockholders, and II
they do. II is a certainly that Mr.. CUP
will be made traffic manager.

CHRISTIANS IN ASIA MINOR.
Many of Them Subjected to InhumaI
Treatment by the Turks.

Many of Them Subjected to Inhuman
Treatment by the Turks.
The native Christians of Asia Minor
who have the misery to find themselves
under the sway of Turkey are feeling
the Mohammedan heel with renewed
severity, SO the report goes. Accord
ing to the latest news most of the peo-
pie of position in Marsovan and Amas-
STA are in prison. The following Incl
dent is reported to have lately occurred
in Marsovan:
searching house for a certain young
man he fled from roof to roof until he
reached the roof of the house where he
was caught. 1t happened that the
house belonged to the male cook of the
well-known "Anatolia college," estab-
lished at Marsovan. The government,
inspired by it's old hatred of that COL
lege, imprisoned the cook as well as
the young man, although the latter
again and again declared that the cook
had no share in his fight. The poor
cook was imprisoned, and beaten at in
tervals by the officials. He was hung
on a beam and his arms stretched
tight. Heavy blocks of stone were at
tached to each Of his feet. Then he
was put in small cell and cold water
thrown under and over him. ALI this
because the poor fellow did not con-
sent to sign paper presented to him
stating that: 1.-THE American Protestant
missionaries distribute arms to the peo-
pie and excite them to revolt"
By-and-by the pressure became SO in
tense that the poor fellow was obliged
to sign the paper, but he added to it
the words made under pressure. /"
The Turks remarked the addition and
began to beat him more. What finally
became Of the man Is not known, for
the Turkish government is carrying on
q crusade against letters, and informa-
ton from the interior is difficult to OBJ
tain

minutes they stopped before the shabby

Neclicees and Tea Gowns

Negligees and tea gowns are more
elaborate this year than ever before,
and they are certainly most satisfac,
tory objects to lavish money on. have
seen exquisite ones in combinations OF
yellow and white, blue and white and
green and white. They are, apparentr
~, perfectly loose, but in reality are
fitted with as much attention to detail
as street costume, only such yards
and Yards of material are used to hang
loosely and full that the trouble taken
to have them exactly right hardly
shows. Lace is, of course, the trim
ming always used for these garments,
and it is used most lavishly. They are
made of silk, bengaline and cashmere
The prettiest are Of bengaline.-Vogue

THE BAR AT LIVERPOOL.
Magnitude of the Work of Removing an
ImpedIment to Navigation.

Magnitude of the Work of Removing an
impeachment to Navigation.
The brief announcement the other
day that the White Star line steamer
Majestic, drawing twenty-four feet,
had passed over the bar at Liverpool
with three feet of water under her
keel shows that the great work of re-
moving the chief impeachment to navi-
cation in the Mersey is nearly &C.
complished. The engineers Of the
Liverpool dock board state that under
the worst possible conditions there is
depth of twenty feet of water over
the bar, the great sandbank having
been cut down no less than nine feet,
and the debris bodily transported and
dumped far from the channel on site
where 1t can do no possible harm.
During the three years that the work
has been going on says the
Chicago Times no less than $685.
600 tons Of sand have been removed.
Allowing the rough measurement of q
hundredweight of sand to cubic foot,
it appears that no less than 1928, 1888
cubic yards Of material have been
shifted. This is said to be a record in
the matter of dredging operations,
and many other startling figures are
quoted. During recent week, for in
stance, the three dredgers working at
the bar removed no less than $4,000
tons of sand, machine called the
Brancker alone lifting and dumping
100. 900 tons out of this enormous total,
while in little over three months al
most 100000 tons of sand were
dredged and placed on the dumping
site. The arrival of the Brapcker
changed all calculations, the effect OF
the continuous working Of vessel
capable OF filing herself with 5000
tons of sand in less than an hour being
something tremendous.
