REVOLVING CONFESSION.

Sam Palatka Admits That He Was tho
Author of the Cohoba Bridge Disas-
ter.
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 20.-Sam Palat-
ka, fiend in expression, revolving in
rountenance, confesses to having per-
petrated the great Cohoba bridge dis
aster, which occurred two weeks ago
in Alabama. Stolidly and with i'm
movable lines of criminal harshness
On his face, he admits that single
handed he sent &c persons to horrible
death, and wounded and manned a
score more.
When the disaster occurred, lying
below, hidden behind a convenient
ledge of rock, was the relentless
wrecker who had ripped rail from
the trestle, fastened it across the track
and then made his way to where he
could steal from the yet warm bodies
of the dead and the helpless wounded,
the money that was to pay
him for the terrible step. Before he
could get at his victims, the live ones
got up and the crowd came. Palatka
skipped out and later was arrested in
Putnam county, Georgia.

A MAGAZINE,
Containing Over $4,000 Pounds OF
EMPLOYEES Lets Go.
Two Negroes Are Reported Dead and
Several Other Persons Mangled-The
Terrific Explosion was Distinctly
Heard Seven Miles Away.

MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 2O.-About z
o'clock Tuesday afternoon the planning
mill of the Dixie Mill Co., located
about five miles above the city on the
Mobile river, caught fire and was
totally destroyed. The fire spread to
the dry kiln and it was also consumed,
with large quantity of lumber both
in the kilns and in the yard. The
plant was valued at about $4,000, and
was insured for about $25, 900.
During the progress of the fire
sparks from the mill set fire to the city
magazine, which is located across the
Louisville & Nashville track from the
mill plant, and about o'clock resi-
dents of this city were startled by a
tremendous explosion, which broke
glass in many houses in the city and IN
Summerville, nine miles from the scene
of the explosion. Men at work on the
tower of the convent were almost
shaken off and in some parts of the
city chimneys were shaken down. At
the time of the explosion there were
| so, 900 pounds of powder and 800 pounds
of dynamite stored in the magazine.
| The air in the vicinity was filed with
| flying bricks and number of cottages
were blown to pieces by the terrific
explosion which was distinctly heard
at Spring Hill, seven miles west Of the
city and at least ten or twelve miles
from the explosion.
The lateness of the hour at which
the explosion occurred and the mac
feasibility of the place makes it impos-
Bible to verify all the reports as to
casualties to human life. Mr.. Gwin,
bookkeeper of the Dixie Mill Co.,
was slightly hurt by flying
| bricks, and Bob Knight, colored,
is reported to have been seriously
| injured in the same manner. The in
ones reported that have been verified,
but there are reports to the effect that
two Negroes were blown to atoms and
that several other persons were en-
gagged in taking goods to place o.
safety from store about block from
the magazine about the time the ex
plosion occurred, are more or less dan
gerously injured.
There are two smaller magazine:
near the large one which exploded
which are said to be filed with explo
sives, but in an inter- lew Tuesday
night John 81. Moore, keeper of the
magazines, said he did not apprehenc
any further danger.
It is said that when the sparks Sc
fire to the roof of the large magazine
that the blaze that followed was seer
by some gentlemen who Immediately
ran about giving the alarm anC
warned the people living in the cot
tages nearby to flee for their lives. L
is said that the act of these men, whos'
names could not be learned, saved {
mum Der OF lives.

nesday morning, Sir f. B. Findlay,
solicitor general, who has been con-
Quoting the prosecution, addressed the
court, saying that the prosecuting au-
thorities in the case had made the
discovery that the explosives which
were found in Antwerp were pur-
chased after the date of the alleged
conspiracy as far as Ivory was con-
cerned therein, and there was no evil
dence that he was concerned in the
purchase of the explosives There
fore, he said, that portion of the case
could not be sustained, and it was not
customary to proceed with the trial of
a case upon minor charges after the
principal charge had been withdrawn.
Justice Hawkins concurred in the re-
marks of the solicitor general, and O.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cOus lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a rum bling
sound or imper ect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
ditiOn, hear ng will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
