Savannah and Western Between Two Fires and
 the Decision Awaited.
 New York, July 2.--Advices have been received here that the application for the appointment of c. c. Gabbett as separate receiver of the Savannah and Western Railroad company in place of H. L. Co., mer, the receiver of the Georgia Central system, has not been granted by Judge Pardee in New Orleans, as the Savan- nah and Western bondholders hoped. The hearing on the application was postponed till the latter part of July by Judge Pardee, who intimated at the same time that he would not remove MT Conner.
 The Savannah and Western commit tee, of which Simon Borg is chairman, made a proposition to Samuel Thomas and Thomas Ryan, asking for modifi- cation of the terms in the Georgia Gen. tral reorganization plan. This proposi- tion was rejected, and all negotiations are off Unless the Savannah and West ern bondholders wish to accept the terms of the Thomas and Ryan plan as it now stands they will have to reorganize the company themselves An independent provisions for the 'liquidating of the floating debt of $1.000,000 to $1 800 900, for paying off car trusts of over $S0O,0 1000 and for purchasing the Columbus and Western road, which is now under de- cree of foreclosure. This road forms the main line of the Savannah and Western into Birmingham.
 Whether the Borg committed will un- dertake the reorganization of the com pany independently is is not yet known. but no other course remains open unless the Georgia Central plan is accepted.

FULLER DETAILS
Of the Hold-Up of Southern Pacific Train. Workmen and Women Unmolested
 By the Robbers.

Grants Pass. Ore. July 2.-The Southern Pacific Overland north bound train was stopped last night at 10:15 o'clock by three highwaymen, near Riddles, about lfhirty miles south of Roseburg, and thoroughly robbed. Sticks of dynamite were placed on the rail, which disabled the engine by blowing the Hangs off the pony trucks, and brought the train to a stop.
 Taking the fireman, two of the high waymen proceeded to go through the train, and every car, from the express to the rear Pullman, was searched Nothing was obtained from the express car for there was no treasure on board.
 On the mail car better success was met with, and the Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and Victoria, B. C., registered sacks were ri1ed. The passengers were also searched pretty thoroughly, but what success was met with is net known. One highwaymnn took nasty shot at Conductor Kearny, who was in charge of the train, but no damage resulted.
 Superintendent Fields of the Southern Pacific, in an hour after learning of the hold-up, had two parties on the way to the scene of the robbery. A posse of oiii- cefs was hastily made up in Rosebury and others of Ready Mountain started from here. Every effort will be made to capture the robbers. The men of the
 
 familiar with every foot of ground in the neighborhood of the hold-up. The train was delayed several hours, having been compelled to turn the engine around and go into Rosebury backwards.
 The robbers, in going through the train, passed all who had the appearance of be- ing workingmen, but made others hold up their hands while they went through their pockets. The sheriff of Klamath was on board with prisoner. The rob bers appropriated the sheriff's pistol. None of the ladies in the car were mo- tested during the time the train was held up, one hour and forty minutes being con- Sumed.
 The robbers outside kept firing sticks of dynamite to intimidate the passen- gers. After the chief robber had secured his booty he ordered the engineer not to proceed for one hour He then shot out the headlight, and firing five additional shots, which were signals to his com panions, disappeared in the darkness.
 It cannot be determined yet how much the robbers secured. but it is thought the amount is small. F. Plotner, Western Union lineman, had $50 Sr $60 in his pocket, but talked the robber out of searching him. He describes the rob- Der who went through the car as a slen- der man, about feet tall. He wore a white silk handkerchief for a mask, blue overals and jumper. He had a large bag slung over his shoulder and carried a combination grain sack in his hands. His hands were rough and cracked. He had deep, coarse voice, which could easily be recognized if heard again. It was too dark to see the other robbers The engine was so badly disabled that it took three hours to reach Riddles, four miles distant. Upon the arrival of the train here the sheriff and posse left for the scene of the robbery,

 Were Present-The Programme.
 Last night at the Elks' hall Miss Daisy Rowley, late of Dresden, Germany, gave u complimentary piano recital to the To- cal lodge of Elks. She was assisted by Professor Grambs' orchestra. While the rainstorm which prevailed early in the evening kept great many away, the re- cital was none the less appreciated for her music was highly enjoyed by those in attendance. Miss Rowley is certainly an accomplished performer showing that her visit abroad has been of great bene- fit to her. At the conclusion of each number the applause was such that she was forced to respond to the encore. She performs magnificently, and has good conception of the great artists, while her technique and execution are splendid. She responded to encores with two of her own compositions, one a waltz, the other the Edith Walker Gavotte."
 The following is the programme:
 Overture-Grambs' orchestra.

A HUMAN PEND
Murders His Wife, Butchers His Son and Than Uses the Bloody Weapon on His
 Own Worthless Carcas.

Richmond Va. July "A Boswell special 10 the Dispatch says: A horrible wife murder and an attempt at suicide, which will prove successful, occurred about 6:30 o'clock this morning at Dawn, in Caroline county, eight miles from here.
 Edgar Phillips, rather worthless but peaceable whase man, With his wife and son have lived for some time about 100 yards from Mrs. E. Y. Seay's store at Boswell. About the time this morning mentioned screams were heard at Phil lips house. Mrs. James Head went to the house and found Mrs. Phillips dead. She had been stabbed and horribly mutt lated by her husband. Near the wife lay the husband, who had cut open his abdomen in several places. The third victim was the 10-year-old son, whose stomach was cut open, and who was stabbed through the leg.
 The boy related that the breakfast had been prepared and placed on the table. and the family were seated. The boy left the table a moment later, and While he was out the mother went to the ire place to attend to something. His father followed her, and while she was stopping threw her backwards and slashed her several times. The son grabbed shovel and struck his father, who then turned hpon him and cut him as above stated.
 After this Phillips turned his bloody knife upon himself, infiicting such ghastly wounds in his stomach that he collapsed immediately and was unable to move.
 Dr. Pollard was summoned and sewed up the boys wounds. Phillips refused to be attended by the physicians, and when an effort was made to relieve him he rolled over and prevented anything be- ing done to save his life. 1t is expected he will die before morning. No reason is assigned for the butchery. The family have lived peaceably and this tragedy Is a great surprise The boy will recover.
 Mrs. Phillips was an industrious woman and supported the family princi- pally by her own efforts.

 A Rate War Prohahle

Chicago, July 2.-There is danger of a rate war over the excursion business of the Christian Endeavor convention to be held at Boston, Mass. The old trouble, Which originated with the Soo lines extension of the return limit to Septem- Der for the benefit of the Minnesota del- egatlon, has broken out again, after the Soo had agreed to abide by the uniform arrangement to limit the returns to July 22. The western trunk roads have sus- pected that the Soo was not sticking 10 the original time limit, and wanted to meet the extensions. Today, on the plea that it had discovered the Minnesota and St. Paul selling in violation of the agreement, the Soo began selling tickets to return September 15 A free-for-all scramble for the business on any terms is looked for now.
