REJOICING AT CHATTANOOGA.
Chattanooga, Tenn June 29.-There is
great rejoicing tonight in Chattanooga
over the announcement that the Chatta-
nooga, Rome and Columbus rail
road has been included in the
roorganized Georgia Central system
This makes Chattanooga the northern
terminus of that great system, and the
distributing point for large quantity of
ocean freight for the west. 1t is signif-
cant in this connection that the officials
of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
road have just obtained charter for the
Chattanooga Terminal Company. 1t is
thought that this means much for
Chattanooga. The reorganization com
mittee have provided funds for placing
the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus in
good condition. Receiver Jones of that
road says he expects greatly increased
terminal facilities, including ware
houses, to be provided here at once and
soon shops for repairs on the northern di-

INSULATION OF THE RALEIGH.
The Men Working on Her Bottom
Formed the Connection.


Formed the Connection.
Washington. June 29--fhe curious
electrical phenomenon at the Norfolk
navy yard last week, when two men were
killed and a number of others stunned,
continues to excite great interest among
naval officials, and it is likely that modifi-
cation of the regulations in relation TO
docking ships will be made as a result,
pending an investigation. 1t is now con-
coded that question Of considerable
gravity has arisen and that precautions
should hereafter be takens to insure
thorough grounding" of metal warships
when under repairs on land. From re-
ports from the officers Of the Raleigh
there is no doubt that the vessel,
which rested on dry blocks above the
shallow water In the dock, was insulated
and that her 5000 tons Of steel consti-
tuted the most enormous electrical con-
denser ever known. Men working on her
button formed the connection with the
earth and the great electrical force
stored in the vessel was readily
conducted through their bodies where
they stood on the wet docks floor and
touched her. The commander OF the yes
sci says three distinct shocks were felt.
The ships surgeon made Intellectual efforts
to resuseitate the injured men, but one
had been instantly killed and the other
fingered only few hours.

able to stand the fast and furious blows
