AUGUSTA AND CHATTANOOGA ROAD
The Prospects For Its Construction
Reported Improved.

Augusta, Ga, Jan. 29.-There is prospect
of the Augusta and Chattanooga railway
being built The Chronicle tomorrow will
publish a letter from j. C. stanton Of
Bailston Spa.,N Y.,who built the Alabama
Great Southern railway which he says:
Il have never known such times to nego-
tiate for a new road. The Augusta and
Chattanooga railroad, ! think, one Of the
most important railroads to be built at
present, and it is Of no use ia. .hatter the
people that they are going to get a rail-
road until you negotiate for money to build
it.
'At last have found party who will
take the securities and furnish the money
to complete the enterprise. They are to
send their own man there to sec IL the
statements which / have made are true.
/ have no fears but what he will find it
as l have stated. I am in hopes he will
be ready to go with me south the latter
part of this week. l will take my engineer
with him"
The building of the Augusta and Chat
tanooga would be one of the greatest
things that could happen for Augusta and
the southeast. 1t would open up magnifi-
cent territory to this city; put it in closer
touch with the great coal and iron fields
of Alabama and Tennessee and make Au-
gusta the gateway of the west to the
sea, saving the great agricultural inter-
ests of the west thousands of miles be-
tween their trade centers and foreign
countries

the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
road, was wrecked yesterday morning
about the 14s-mile post. near Callahan. on
the mainline, between Waycross and
Jacksonville.
The cause of the wreck was the burning
of a small trestle, which is supposed to
have caught fire from the burning woods
Fortunately, the engine passed over it all
right, but its supports. which were about
destroyed gave way and nine freight
cars were ditched. Four of them were
piled up on one side Of the track and five
on the other. Some OF the cars We're
broken open and their contents scattered
about. The engine and cab, however, did
not leave the track. and to this, no doubt,
is due Engineer WINS miraculous es-
cape, as IT, is said he had very close
call for his life.
The wreck, of course, delayed all of
the other trains on the line, aud No. 30.
the fast mail going north, arrived five
hours late. The New York sleeping car

Chief Hood mad warned his employer, j.
NJ. Lambert to close UP his gambling
house: that be had never been employed
or discharged by Lambert; that he had
never run a gambling house himself and

Rev DR.. Stradley, pastor of st. John s
church, in which the Gales meetings are
conducted, testified that Chief Hood came
to see him the morning after abe charges
were made by OH. Gales and said that in
his position hey sometimes had reason to
suspect violations of the laws he could not
prove, and that he "bluffed" such sup
posed offenders ~ telling them they were
suspected and wdlld be arrested and pros
ecuted if they diA not delsist
DR.. Stradley neglected TO say before the
commission THAT LamberG's was a case lCf
this kind, but he has SINCE the conclusion
of the hearing furnished a card to the
press in which he says Chief Hood told
him that having suspicious that Lambert
was running a gambling house, he had
sent for him and given MIN warning. The
