had risen to their heads, placed a lozenge
OF benz in the glass of Abu-l-Hasan, so
that when he had drunken it his head fell
before his feet. The Khaleefeh then arose
and ordered his young men to carry Abu-l-
Hasan to the palace and desired mis-
slave girls and attendants to do with him
as before.
And toward the close of the night Abu-
l-Hasan awoke, and hearing the sounds of
music, and seeing the attendants, he cried
out: 0 my mother! Whereupon the

SAVE THE BATTLEFIELDS.

Appeal to Veterans and Patriotic Socie-
ties for United Action.
DR.. Charles Anderson of Santa Barbara
writes to the Chicago Tribune: The an
nouncement that Bull Run Battlefield"
and "Appomattox," the alpha and omega
of the civil war, are about to fall under
the greed for the almighty dollar should
cause every American who has any love
for his country's history or who has any
appreciation for the great events of the
four terrible years of that war, to stop
and think. Not only should the men who
made all the great fields memorable object
to their being built over and blotted Off
the map of the country, but every good
citizen should do all that is possible to
help them.
to look after every battlefield of import
ance in the land, not only those of the
revolution and of the war of 1872, but the
more important battlefelds in wars
against the Indians. AS it is now there is
q commission for this field and that. and
score, more or less, of superintendents of
National cemeteries, but nobody with gen
eral powers whose duty it is to look after
and see that the battlefields are properly
surveyed, delineated and taken care of.
What is the condition of the fields of the
Wilderness campaign, or OF those OF Nc
Clellan's seven days battles before Rich
mond: Who can now point out the point
of interest of the battle OF the Brandywine,
or any other fields of the Revolution, for
that matter? And yet these are chapters
of our National history that are, or should
be, OF interest to us all. If the press will
appeal to the patriotism of the American
people and stimulate them into thinking
about this matter then something will be
accomplished.
Let the Grand Army Of the Republic ask
Congress for permanent commission to
take care of the battlefields their valor
has made memorable and it will be done.
Let the Sons of Veterans demand the
ground on which their fathers shed their
blood for the n alton be preserved and Con-
gress will listen to their demands.
Let the sons and daughters of Revolu-
t;onary sires point out that the ground on
which their fathers and grandfathers
fought for the life of the Republic should
remain as landmark of that great Ma
tional struggle and not only Congress will
listen, but even the clatter of the lobby
will be quiet.
1t is too late to save much that should
not have been allowed to be lost but there
is much that is too valuable to go to waste,
and, moreover, it will be an insult to the
dead, wrong to ourselves (the iving)
and sin against posterity should these
fields that were our sorrow and our
scourger, but now our glory, our honor, be
allowed to become lost to us.

Progress of the simplon Tunnel.

PROGRESS OF Che S1mpIOn Tunnel.
The Increment between Italy and Swift
erland regarding the construction of the
Sim plon tunnel has been signed by their
official representatives. The Italian Gov
eminent gave the company a concession
for 80 years and an annual subvention of
$4,000 lire ($l3,0O0). The Italian cities
which have material interests in the build
ing of the line have guaranteed subscrip-
ton of Loco, 900 lire. The new railroad is
mainly built to relieve the Gotthard Rail-
road of part of the traffic, which has be-
come SO immense that it is impossible to
attend to it properly. The new road will
be completed inside of five years.

I station on the Central Railroad Of Geor-
/ gia. about three miles south Of Milledge-
Vile.
The freight train that left here this morn
ing at o'clock reached Gordon on time
and left on its return trip. followed by a
service train loaded with steel rails. The
freight train had some cars to leave at
Midway. and had just left the baggage
car on the main track and backed on the
siding, when the service train came in
sight coming down grade at good speed.
The engineer on the service train saw the
car ahead and reversed his engine when
one Of the couplings broke. allowing the
front end of the train TO crash into the
baggage car. The service train was back
ing, and the cab was the first TO strike
the baggage car. hitting it with such force
that the baggage car was turned over,
and the cab of the service train was tele-
scoped over the cars of rail that were just
behind it,
In the cab was Thomas Allen, the section
foreman. with some Of his hands who had
come out with the train to distribute the
rail- Mr. Allen had both of his legs crush
ed and died tonight.
One OF his hands, a negro by the name
of Bob Smith of Gordon had one of his
legs and his body badly crushed, and has
also died.
Bob Jesse. a train hand of Davisboro,
had one leg crushed and his body badly
bruised and will probably die before
morning.
Adam Stevens, train hand, had his left
arm badly mashed.
Conductor Crutchfeld Of the service
train had his hand and arm slightly
mashed.
Mr.. Allen and Bob Smith were in the cab
and the rest were on a car of rails next
to the cab. Why they were not killed out
right and how the others escape is a mys-
terry.
DIR. Allen, who lives near by. was soon
on the scene and did all in his power to
relieve the suffering of the wounded.
Dr. J. l.. Harris, the local surgeon of the
road, was sent for and was soon on the
scene, accompanied by Dr. T. NJ. Hall. on
their arrival it was deemed necessary to
amputate one of Bob Smiths legs, and
Bob Jessie and Mr.. Allen were found to be
dying, so the doctors would not perform an
operation on them.
Drs. Jones and O'Donell OF the state lu-
matte asylum assisted Drs. Harris, Hall
and Allen in the operations.
The service train was in charge of Con-
ductor Crutchfield and Engineer Collins.
The freight train was in charge of Con-
ductor Sheftall and Engineer Tom Linson.
The main track was cleared in about two
hours and trains are now running on time
Mr. Allen was a member of the Gordon
Lodge of Masons, and will be buried by
them tomorrow.

A ROW AT THE EXPOSITION.

President Collier and Grant wilkins
at Outs.
Atlanta. Ca, June 25.-There is the live
lest sort of row on at the exposition
headquarters which may result in serious
complications. All the parties concerned
are as silent as clans in regard to the
affair and it is almost impossible to secure
any of the details. This much is known.
The principals to the affair are Grant
wilkins, chief of construction of the expo
sition, and Charles A. Collier, the pres
ident. and certain members of the execu-
tive board. II is said that a serious differ
ence has arisen between Mr.. Collier, Mr.
wilkins and members of the executive
committee, and that result
there was a stormy scene at headquarters
this morning and again this afternoon. 1t
Is also known that Mr.. wilkins has been
ousted from his office. An effort is being
made tonight to patch up the affair and
restore Mr. wilkins to his position and his
friends are sanguine of success in this di-
rection. The matter of his restoration
rests with the executive board and Presi-
dent Collier. Up to date Mr.. Collier is
said to be much on top.
Concerning the direct cause of the
trouble those acquainted with the facts
mors are afioat, but none of them can be
verified.
When the stormy scene of to-day was at
its hight, at exposition headquarters, two
or three outside parties were present and
they were Immediately pledged to secrecy.
One story floating about the streets to-
night was to the effect that fisticuffs were
INDUCED in, but this is denied by one of
those who were present at time.
Grant Wilkins has been supervising ar
chitect of the exposition since the begin
ming. He is an old resident of Atlanta
and one of the most prominent architects
in the south. He has been very self-willed
IN designing the exposition and he and
President Collier have clashed before, but
the present disagreement, it seems. went
further than mere difference of opinion.
If the matter is not amicably adjusted to-
night, the details of the affair, whatever
they are, will undoubtedly be made public
Tomorrow. The effect of the difficulty
may be far-reaching. as Mr.. Wilkins has
some warm friends and supporters on the
executive committee

Atlanta, Ga, June 25.-The management
Of the Cotton States International Expo
siton has received advices from Philadel-
phia TO the effect that the Pennsylvania
legislature has appropriated $500 for an
exhibit here. In addition to this the gov
ernor has appointed a commission and T.

tomorrow to begin arrangements for the
exhibit. OF the $500 appropriated $500
will be devoted TO the woman's depart
ment. The colonial exhibit will be espec-
ally fine. including the liberty bell and
other relics of great value sent by the
Philadelphia general council
The Massachusetts legislature has appro-
priated $4,000 for an exhibit and the COM
mission appointed by the governor are
now urgently demanding a large space in
which to make an exhibit.
1t is probable that Massachusetts, Penn
sylvania, New York and Illinois viii all
erect buildings as headquarters for the
citizens of those states, but will install
their exhibits in the buildings Of the eX-
position company under the general classi-
fication.
Advices received from San Francisco say
that Gov. Budd has called a convention of
the county supervisors who have power to
appropriate money for exposition pur-
poses and will seek to raise in the different
counties enough money to install the eX-
hibit in the possession of the state board
of trade. This exhibit was collected at a
cost of between $4,000 and 100000 and
transportation to the amount of $4,000
has been contributed by the railroads be-
tween Atlanta and San Francisco. The
plan for the California building has al
ready been adopted and the site selected
near the transportation building.
