Crosses the T.. 8 N. Track.

Thursday was a great day in Gulf
port, and one to mark for the State OF
Mississippi. The crossing of the Gulf
port & Ship Island railroad across the
tracks of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad was put in place under the SUI
pervision of Mr.. J. H. Johnston, the
roadmaster of the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad, assisted by two section
crews Of the same road, and Louisville
& Nashville trains passed over the
crossing as soon as it was in place.
Engine No. 722 crossed first, and En-
gineer w. ID. Guy gave the salute.
Putting in this crossing will enable the
Gulfport & Ship Island to run trains to
the edge of the Gulf and deliver ma
terInl to be used in building the Gulf
trestles ont TO deep water. Gulfport
is the only point on the coast where
capitalists have put in money and are
carrying on actual operations to con-
meet a railroad with the great Southern

DOWN THE FIRE ESCAPES.
Fifteen Families In Cincinnati In Dead
ly Peril for a Brief Period.

A fire which started at 2 O'Clock
Sunday morning in three-story tene-
ment house at the corner of Muirson
and Oregon streets, Cleveland, o.,
caused loss of $40, 900, and put the
lives of the members of fifteen Families
in peril for brief period. the fire
started on the second floor of the build
ing, which was q frame structure,
owned by Sipe & Sigler, and the occu-
pants of the upper suites Of rooms all
reached the fire escapes in safety with
the exception of one young woman.
named Mary Cox, who jumped from q
third story window and was badly hurt.
Charles Watkins, with his wife and
baby, occupied one of the fats. He
was awakened by smelling smoke.
Hastily rousing his wife and child and
pulling on some of his clothing, he at
tempted to escape by way Of the hall,
but the flames drove him back. Then
he burst open the door to the room of
Misses, Mary and Anna Cox. Both
girls we're throwing clothing from the
window. Watkins told them to come
with him. He then smashed the PAN
els in the door leading to the next suite,
occupied by Miss Mae Burke. From
the window of this room the fire escape
could be reached and Miss Burke had
already started to descend it. Wat
kins pulled his wife and child and Miss
Anna Cox through the hole in the door
and placed them on the fire escape. He
then went back for Miss Mary Cox, but
Just as he reached her side she plunged
from the window. Charles Wesley and
Louis Trayes, who discovered the fire,
we're standing below the window. They
saw the girl prepare to jump, and
joining their hands, they caught her as
she fell. They we're thrown to the
ground, but they had succeeded In
breaking the force of her fell, and she
escaped with broken arm and few
burns. Nearly all the people lost their
clothing and household goods, but the
losses are mostly covered by insurance.

WALLER AT NEW YORK.
Confident Of the Ultimate Justification
of His Actions.


John L. Waller, late United States
consul at Tamataye, Madagascar, was
second-class passenger on the Amer
lean steamer New York, which arrived
in New York Saturday from South
ampton. He stated that he was re-
leased from prison in France on
February Goth, exactly eleven months
from the time he was sentenced
at Madagascar. Waller declined to
Discus his case at length, but
said that he felt confident of the ulti-
mate justification of his actions. He
inquired anxiously as to the health
his wife and family, who have been at
Baltimore for the past two months.
Waller said that while on the guardship
at Madagascar and during the passage
to France his treatment was simply in
human, but that at the prison where he
was confined in France his lot was no
worse than that of the ordinary pris-
oner. The food served lacked nutri-
ment and he was obliged to purchase
supplies outside, a concession granted
by the prison authorities and for which
he was very grateful.
