key, lowered over it for q minute or So and
then dived like a SHOT, set its claws 10 its

was tied securely, and while the eagle was
doing its utmost 60 lift 1t Mr.. Smartw BOD

GEORGIA's GEoLOGIsT.
The state Board Petitioned to Remove
DR.. Spencer.


DR.. Spencer.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 13-The state geo.
logical board will hold decidedly sensa-
tional meeting tomorrow at the capitol
To-day q petition was filed with the board
asking for the removal OF DR.. Spencer, the
etate geologist. A copy Of this petition
was placed Ia the hands Of each member of
the board in order that they might be pro-
pared in advance for the official action to-
morrow by the board. The petition is a
strong one, and will receive the serious con-
sideration of the board, the probability
being that It will be granted.

North Georgia-and is signed by legis-
lators, county officers and the holders Of
large mining interests IN every county OF
the mineral belt, besides a large number
of business men, bankers and citizens gen
orally, who believe that the advancement of
the states interests demands change In the
management OF the geological department
The signers of the petition plainly say that
they do not believe DR.. Spencer is capable
of properly administering the duties of the
position v hich be fills, not that he is not
qualified as regards the science, but from a
business standpoint be Is not alive TO the
demands OF the situation.
At the last meeting Of the legislature the
state geological department came near
being abolished. The Senate refused to
appropriate the s., 900 required TO carry on
the work, the point being made that the
department was apparently dead issue
This action by the Senate was. however,
reconsidered after a bard fight and the
department was saved by scratch. This
action by the Senate is mentioned in the
petition in way which shows that Dr.
Spencer Is held responsible for this lack OF
appreciation by the Senate.

had been sent back the engineer of the
second section could not have failed to
see him. On the other hand, il is said
the engineer of the second section was
asleep, and that the fireman was throw

and fireman saved themselves by jump

There was dead" sleeper on the
rear end of the first train, or, in other
words, the car was empty. The car
ahead of it was the day coach and con-
tanned some 40 or so passengers. The
second section of the train crashed into
the dead sleeper, driving it forward
through the day coach, and it did not
stop until it had completely telescoped
the car from end to end. The wreck
was the worst that has occurred on the
Illinois Central system for 20 years.

and six men surrounded the engine.
One mounted the engine and presented
revolvers at the engineers and fire.

messenger to open the door, which he
did forthwith.
Three of the bandits entered the car,
leaving two without to keep guard.
The policemen who were guarding the
train were distributed in the various
cars, the majority of them being con-
cealed in the express car. When the
three bandits entered the door, the
police within ordered them To sur
render. The robbers were taken com
pletely by surprise, but they opened
fire at once upon the police. The police
returned the fire and "a general fusilade
followed. About - shots were fired
on both sides. When the smoke

$1,000. 900 Fire at st. Joseph, Mo.

For six long hours fire threatened
the complete destruction of the entire
business district of st. Joseph, Mo.
The entire fire department, during that
time, contested the advance of the
flames foot by foot and although they
were placed at great disadvantage
by the inability of the water works to
give satisfactory pressure in its mains,
the firemen finally conquered. Before
they had won, however, a whole square
of buildings and half of another were
laid in ruins and 81 10000 worth of
property went up in smoke.
The cause of all the loss was the in
significant stub of cigarette thrown
carelessly on the floor Of the store
room on the fifth floor of the big de-
partment store of Townsend, Wyatt &
Emery, which was completely Quilted.
One of the walls tottered and fell and
Calvin Wyatt, member Of the firm,
was struck by flying bricks and seri-
ously injured. Many others were
slightly injured. Mr.. Wyatt was
struck on the head and physicians fear
that his injuries may prove fatal.
