Southern States - Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee and Kentucky.
The sale of the Richmond and Danville
but recently contains the keynote to the
situation, and Drexel, Morgan & Co. are
of course the central figures. The new
company will comprise the Richmond
and Danville, the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia, and the Cincin natl
Southern systems.
The Central Railroad of Georgia is al
ready practically under the control of the
newly organized Richmond and Danville
system, and the Georgia and Atlanta and
West Point roads, seemingly under in
dependent management, are really con-
trolled through the Central of Georgia
and the Louisville and Nashville. This
will leave but three roads of the ten en-
tering Atlanta outside of the Southern
Railway Company. These are the Sea-
board Air Line, the Western and Atlantic
and the Atlantic Railway.
The Chesapeake and Ohio will be very
friendly to the organization. and will be
operated so as to secure the best results to
both systems
An interesting question arose in con-
nection with this consolidation-Wha is
to become of the many general officers of
the lines to be taken in? Samuel Spencer,
it is affirmed, will be the President of the
new system. But as to the other officers
of the Cincinnati Southern, the East Ten
nesse and the Richmond and Danville, all
having Presidents, General Managers and
General Superintendents, when these sys-
TENS come under one management, what
will become of them? Some of these
officers, notably Henry Frank. has never
held place for years under any one else.
Railroad circles arc naturally deeply agi-
tated in the discussion of these questions,
and especially so in this section, where
the fates of thousands hang in the bal
ance. The definite announcement that
these properties are business enterprises,
and are not to be run as side issue to
speculation, gives much joy here.

The Whaling Bark James Allen
Runs on the Rocks.
THE ACCIDENT DUE TO A BLUNDER
OF THE CAPTAIN.
Twenty-Nine of the Crew Picked Up
on Bonen Island in an Almost
Starved Condition-The Captain and
Commits Suicide by Shooting Him
self In the Head.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.


SAN Francisco, June 21.-Particulars
of the wreck of the whaling bark James
Allen have been received by the Alaska
Commercial Company from its Atka
agent.
The agent says that on May oath boat
load of the shipwrecked crew put into
Atka and reported the wreck. They
were Joseph Duarte, third pate; Charles
c. Mcintyre, fourth mate, and John
Roach, Joseph Gonzales, Peter T. Potter
sen, Max Gohne, Thomas Goody and
Fred Hub. seamen.
The third mate, in giving an account OF
the disaster, says that on the night of May
11th the wind was blowing a moderate
gale from the southeast and the vessel
was running almost free before it. He
was on watch, and shortly after mid
night breakers were sighted dead ahead.
He went below and reported to the Cap
tain, but the chief officer replied that it
was Seguam, and to keep on the course.
The Captain had no sooner ceased speak
ing than the ship struck.
The greatest confusion for while pre-
smashed by the seas which swept over
the decks, but the starboard boats were
all right, and they were manned and
lowered.
The third mate and the men mentioned
got away in one boat, and they held off
shore all night. Early the next morning
the second mates boat was sighted steer
ing due east for Seguam. The third mate
tried to follow, but his boat was leaky
and he had to put back to Amelia Island,
where the ship wrecked sailors remained
seven days, in that time being almost
starved.
The Atka agent of the Alaska Com
mercial Company took care of the men
and placed them on board the steamer
Dora. They were subsequently trans
ferred to the Petrol.
About week later the Dora picked up
twenty y-nine men of the crew on Bonen
Island in an almost starved condition.
They had been living there ever since the
day of the wreck on salt meat. The men
were transferred to the whaling bark
Worcester, and they are now on their
way to San Francisco. Captain Huntley
and the first mate are still missing.

Whole Block of Property Laid In
Ruins.
LONDON, June 2l.-A fire broke out at
9 O'Clock tonight at Agnes cabinet man
ufactory, in Tabernacle street. The
flames, assisted by a fierce wind, spread
turiously, and within an hour eight or
ten other factories were burning. The
wind carried sheets of flames and sparks
a great distance, and the illumination
attracted enormous crowds of people to
the vicinity. Thirty engines were sum-
moned, but the greatest difficulty was ex-
perienced in approaching the burning
buildings. The whole block was de-
stroyed. The entire London brigade, over
fifty engines and four hundred men were
in attendance. The flames were visible
from all parts of London and suburbs.
The walls of the buildings fell from time
; 10 ii 10 with loud crashes. So far as ascer-
tanned, there were no casualties.
The fire ragged with fury until mid
night, when it was controlled. The esti-
mated damage is 100000.
Way to Keep England in Her Place.
PARIS, June 21.-The Ndti71 prints an
interview with DR.. AREN'T, the famous
bimetallist, and Member of the Prussian
Diet, in which he urges a Franco Ger
man alliance in Africa as the only way to
keep England in her place. England's
possession of the Nile Valley, he declares,
is much gloomier for France than the
fact that Germany has retaken her former
possession. England's impudence in
ebO l,or i,,f pol
ment in regard to the Congo, he believes,
has given an opportunity tor the Franco
Germ an alliance which he suggest.
