Pure Blood

Is absolutely necessary in order to have
good health. The greatest affection Of
the human race is impure blood.
There are about 24O0 disorders incl

majority arising from the impure or
poisonous condition Of the blood.
The best remedy for all blood dis
eases is found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Its remarkable cures are its lOudest
praise. Ii is not what we say but

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
One Dead and Five Injured From the
TeIescoping of Two Cars.


FITZGERALD. Ca, March IA sad acct
dent occurred on the Abbeville and Way
cross road, Just outside of this city. AS
the construction train was going down a
grade one of the cars came uncoupled
and telescoped with the one in front of IL.
This caused a general wreck. one negro
was killed and five men were injured, it
is not known how badly. The accident
occurred on Mr.. McCaWs place. just north
of the colony mill. 1t is not known how
the car became uncoupled and no one is
blamed for the accident as II seemed TO
be one of those that could not be fore
seen, and, therefore, could not be avoid
ed. The accident occurred in the morn
ing, just before the regular passenger
train was to have gone, but the wreckage
could not be cleared away so the train
could go that day, but the next morning
1t went out on schedule time. The in
Jured men were brought 10 the city, where
their wounds were attended to, and they
were made as comfortable as possible I'M
der the circumstances.
The Home Pastime Club gave an inter-
esting entertainment at Paulks hall We'd

Grand Army of the Republic han. 1t was
an interesting little play that the club
play was entitled, Dot the Miners Daugh-
ter and was enacted by fifteen young
ladies and gentlemen.
The number of houses has been counted
and found TO be something over 500, with,
no one knows how many, new buildings
going up and others being started every
day. One hundred and thirty-nine of these
are business houses.
NJ. w. Metrau, who has been cashier

spicuous place. has stood in front of one
of the real estates offices for about two
weeks, and still continues to stand there
It may be seen from this that the people
that want work can obtain it, good
many are now at work on their five ana
ten-acre tracts and no longer wish en-
ployment, except on their own places
The five-acre tracts are beginning to show
the care they are receiving, and a NINA
ture town is being founded just outside
OF the greater town. When these are set
tied upon they will make a fine place to
live.
Mr. Fitzgerald returned to Indianapolis
Thursday morning. He will return about

HIS ONLY PEACE WAS IN WAR.
An Unhappy Husband Airs His Tale
of Woe in Court.

OF W Oe IN O0uEi.
Atlanta, Ga, March 1S.-Possibly the
only instance of a man finding peace in
war was brought to light in a petition
for divorce filed in the superior court this
morning by Robert c. Young. Mr.. Young
who was once a member of the city coun-
ell, is the husband of Mrs. Martha J.
Young. In his petition to the court Mr..
Young says he was married in 1859 and
that seven children have been born to
them He alleges that he has had no
peace since he married his wife, on ac-
count of the strife she has stirred up be-
tween himself and his children. On ac-
count of her continued and fearful abuse
of him, he says the only moments of
peace he has had since his marriage was
between the years 1860 and 1865, during
which he was a soldier in the war and
absent from home.
The Young family has recently figured
extensively in the public prints. A day
or two ago one of the sons of the house
filed suit against his mother. The boy
charged that his mother was seeking to
defraud him of several thousand dollars
damages received from a railroad company
for the loss of an arm when he was S
years old. The courts have been asked to
enjoin Mrs. Young from disposing of the
property and compel her to account for
the amount already alleged to have been

NEW ORLEANS SMALLPOX.
Most of the Patients Negro Tramps
From Logging Cnmns

Most of the Patients Negro Tramps
From Logging Camps.
New Orleans, La, March 13.-The most
exaggerated reports have been circulated
about the prevalence of smallpox in New
Orleans. An investigation of the matter
shows that there are 100 cases now in the
pest house, only six of whom are white
people. Most of the patients are unclean
negro tramps brought here from log and
tie camps throughout the state. Some are
from camps in Mississippi.
The operations of the sanitary deDart-
ment in connection with this state of af-
fairs have been seriously handicapped by
the smallness of the sanitary force and its
limited financial resources. A circular let
ter has been sent TO the various parishes
throughout the state urging their co-oper-
alton in SuppreSsing the disease
In 1888 there were 5000 cases of smallpox
in this city. Since Jan. 1, this year. there
have been 25S cases, of which only Is
were white. During February there were
50 cases, and in the twelve days of March
l79 cases. Eighty per cent. of these cases
have been brought here from country
points. Since Jan. there have been forty
two deaths four of whom were white
The board of health have passed reso
luton forbidding negro excursions to and
from the city, and general vaccination will
be vigorously resorted to.

b. AND O.s REORGANIZATION.
A Committee to Look After the In
terest of the BaItimOreans.

A Committee to Look After the In
terest of the BaItimOreans.
Baltimore, March ia Baltimore and
Ohio railroad reorganization committee
composed exclusively of Baltimoreans was
formed in this city to-day. Alexander Shaw
who was chairman of the late finance
committee of the company, is chairman of
the new committee, the other members
being G. Morton Stewart, John Gill, John
G. Harvey, T. Edward Hambleton, James
l.. McClane and d. Fahnestock.
The organization of the committee, it
was stated. was at the request of the
institutions of this city and others of the
largest security holders of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, representing
both the bonds and stocks"
The committee is to act for the protec-
ton of the securities represented. 1t is set
forth that a majority of the Baltimore
and Ohio stock, and millions of the bonds,
are held by the people of this state, and
it is proposed TO protect these TO the fullest
extent.
There was a diversity of opinion on the
street, after the fact became known that
the committee had been formed, as to the
significance of the move. Some express
ed the view that it meant an attack upon
the New York committee and the receiV-
ers; Others asserted that certain Baltimore
interests were angered at the methods en-
ployed before and after the roads receiv-
ership.
Mai Shaw, chairman of the newly
formed committee, said with reference to
the action taken; Our purpose is solely
to protect the interests of the millions of
Baltimore and Ohio securities held in Bal
timore
When asked if the main object of the
committee was the prevention of fore
closure and sale. he replied in the af-
frmatiVe
Receiver Cowan destined to say any
thing for publication.

A CURIOUS LIBEL SUIT.
Some improvements Being Made in
EaIdosta.

NaiuOstH.
ValdOsta, Ga, March ia very unique
law suit or libel suit was tried in the
city court here this morning in which a
lawyer and marble yard owner were the
conspicuous figures. The lawyer was the
plaintiff in the case and marble man was
the defendant. Mr. Johnson, who runs
the marble works here, has been passing
a good deal of his spare time of late in
editing paper called the owl Creek Ban
ner The paper is printed in the CHR
ography of the editor on legal cap paper
and is usually read and passed around
among those who like to read 1t by the
editor himself. Recently he has tackled
several local subjects and made them
very ridiculous. Mr.. Charles Morgan,
who is a man of some eccentric notions,
but a clever gentlemen none the less, was
one of the subjects which johnson hand
led. The fact that the men were on I'M
friendly terms lead Morgan to believe that
1t was a malicious assault, so he had
Johnson arrested and the trial came off
this morning. The case developed some
interesting points and expert testimony
was brought in to interpret some of the
phrases in Johnson's article. Johnson
was found guilty of criminal libel, but
very small fine was imposed upon him,
as Morgan requested Judge Smith TO deal
lightly with him. The case has been the
talk of the day here.
Among the Improvements proposed here
is new street to cut through the dis
trict which was burned last week and
open it for new stores and other business
houses The object is to cut the block,
which is a large one, in two. 1t is believ
ed that the step would add greatly to the
value of the property in that section and
would give the town more room for bust
ness houses.
Four gentlemen came up on the train
last night from Florida and in a talk with
the Morning News correspondent, they
stated that they were on their way home
in Ohio from a visit to Havana. They
stated that Havana was less excited over
the war in Cuba than the average Lingo"
in congress is, and that the papers there
had hardly anything to say about it. They
say that the reports from Cuba have been
SO colored that hardly anyone here has
an idea of the real situation there.

His Claim to the Amateur Champion
ship Confirmed.

Jacksonville, Fla, March 1S-At the
Villa Maynard meet last Wednesday of
the Jacksonville wheelmen, Harry Fixes
of Saratoga, N. Y, rode ten miles in
competition in A:5S On the strength of
this performance, it was claimed that
Elkes had lowered the worlds amateur
record for ten miles in competition. This
claim was, however subsequently denied.
a telegram being received here that the
distance had been made in less time than
24:5S. This assertion, however. is not true
for Chairman Gideon of the League of
graphs to-day that the best time for ten
miles prior to Elkes performance was
25:32. Elkes therefore holds the world S
amateur championship for ten miles in
competition. Elkes' performance was the
more notable because the racers We're
