RESTRICTIONS RETAINED.
Alabama NIodifes Her Quarantine
Rules and Admits Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. For the first time
in three weeks freight and passengers
from Atlanta were allowed to enter the
state of Alabama to-day.
With the announcement of the fact that
there was a case of yellow fever here the
Alabama state board of health raised up
a quarantine wall along the state line that
nothing from Atlanta was allowed 10 pass,
for fear of Infection Since the city was
declared free from the disease, however,
the Alabama authorities have been cOnsid-
eriug a modification of their regulations,
and last night they came 10 the conclusion
that it would be foolish to longer main
tain the non-intercOurse quarantine that
had been established at the commence
ment of the scare. 1t was accordingly or
dered suspended and to-day traffic and
trave. was resumed, passengers being re-
quired only to have the regulation Certit-
Gates of health and non-residence in other
infected districts. The fumigation of the
mails from this city was also suspended
and Atlanta paced upon the list of nom
infected cities.
+ Gov. Johnson of Alabama made the fol-
lowing statement of the revised Tegula-
lions, and the quarantine restrictions
against Atlanta are modified as follows:
First. Passengers from Atlanta may
come into the state, provided they have
been in no injected place for the previous
ten days atlanta not being considered in,

Solicitor O'NeiI and Judge Rogers
Argue With Blows at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga, oct. THE city court pre-
sided over by Judge Berry was enlivened
this afternoon by scrap, in which Hon.
]. f. O'Neil, the solicitor. and Judge Rob
ert L. Rogers, attorney for the defense in
the case on trial. We're the principals.
Judge Rogers was very caustic i'm his re-
marks about Solicitor O'Neil to the jury,
and both gentlemen had their dander.
When Solicitor O'Nei entered upon his
speech Judge Rogers interrupted him and
called him a liar. Quick as a fash, the
solicitor wheeled around and landed a
blow on Judge Rogers face that sent him
spraWing full length on the floor He
then faced the jury again and resumed
his argument, as if nothing had happened
when Judge Rogers was taken out of the
court room to rearrange his toilet. Judge
Berry will have both gentlemen up be-
fore him tomorrow to administer an Off
cial reprimand.

CENTRAL's FIRE AT MACON.
The Loss Estimated ut S1OO,OOO with
No Insurance.

Macon Ga, Oct. THE entire shops
of the Central railroad, with contents, in
Guiding books and accounts in offices,
were destroyed last night despite the eff
forts of the fire department to quench
the flames.
Many of the tools used in the shops be-
longed to individuals, which will prove
a serious blow to the men. About 80
men were thrown out of employment.
-Four handsome passenger coaches were
burned. Oil tanks did not ignite as ex-
pected, and thus was the round-house saw
ed from the confia grafton. The total loss
on the building, tools, lumber, cars, sup
plies, etc, is estimated at about 100000,
with not a cent of insurance.
Last August the management of the
Central decided to adopt the plan pur-
sued by large systems of the north, and,
instead of paying insurance, to set aside
what amount of premiums would be each
year as a sinking fund. AS this system
was only adopted recently, the amount
that has been set aside will not begin to
cover the loss

MAYOR COLLIER IN A BREEZE.
DispOscs of His Interest in the Jour
nal Because of n Rupture.


nal Because of IL Rupture.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 7-Something of a
breeze was stirred up in municipal affairs
to-day by the announcement that Mayor
Collier had sold out his interest in the
Evening Journal to Mr.. Jacob Haas, cash
Ter of the Capital CITY Bank.
Mr. Collier was one of the original spir-
its who went into the Journal along with
Hoke Smith, and his retirement from the
company is said to be due to a rupture be-
tween them.
According to the story, which is practi-
cally confirmed by Nh Collier, he got out
of the paper because it had abandoned
the fight begun to secure transfers on
street railway lines in the city. This
fight was inaugurated by the Journal
some time before Mr.. Collier became
mayor, and when he was elected to that
office one of the first things he did was
to officially revive it, securing the unani-
NOUS passage of transfer ordinance by
the council.
Mr.. Smith who was helping the Lcht
with his paper, then rendered the city his
legal services gratis when the consolida-
ted street railway went into the courts to
defeat the transfer ordinance. Later on,
however, for some reason, the Journal
seemed TO let up very suddenly on the
fight, and then Mayor Collier secured On
appropriation of $1,000 TO pay lawyers to
fight the case. Instead of appointing eX.
Secretary Smith however. he gave the fee
to another law firm. This, it is surmised
was the direct cause that led to the pres
ent chilly feeling between the mayor and
the ex-secretary, and finally resulted IN
the mayor selling out his holding IN the
paper controlled by the latter.
MaVOr Collier generally accredited
with training for a try at state or nation
al politics, either for governor or for con-
gress, and in view of this the separation
between himself and eX-Secretary Smith
may have an important bearing up. Hi

BLoDGETT ON THE wARPATH.
The Atlanta Republican, Venting
His Troubles. Lands in Jail.


Atlanta. Ga, Oct. Thomas Blodgett
the irrepressible republican, who has been
"cussing out the whole shooting match
On the republican camp, so 10 speak, and
who was Indicted by the federal grand
Jury yesterday. charged with having
swind.ed various applicants for office by
blackmaning them for his Endorsement
created a lively row at the custom house
to-day.
After his indictment he was allowed to
20 upon his own recosnizance by District
Attorney Angler. This consideration only
seemed TO enrage him more, whose trou-
bles seem to grow ont of his failure to
land at the federal patronage crib, and he
went 90 the custom house this morning
prepared 10 make things hot. He says he
was told by District Attorney Angler that
Rucker. the colored collector of internal
revenue. was back Of the indictments
against him. Rucker being actuated by
desire to harrass him for some things he
had done and said. At this 3lodgett
hunted up Rucker and got him 10 sc TO
the district attorneys office, where, ac-
cordiug to the accounts given out, Angler
denied having implicated Rucker in the
matter Blodgett declared that he cursed
out both Angler and Rucker, giving them
the lie direct before he left the Office.
The indictments against Blodgett are
based upon information furnished to the
grand jury by his alleged victims, Q. L.
Thacker. a A. Mosteller and S. r. Dick
son all of Cherokee county. It is alleg-
ed that he collected 500 from each
of them in consideration of giving them
positions in the government service. The
indictment charges mat Blodgett repre-
scented to these men that he was an Off
Cial of the government. and authorized to
promise the appointments referred to.
Blodgett denies that there is any fOunda-
zion for the indictments and declares that
they were instituted by his political enc
mics. who want 70 prevent him from go
ing up into Ohio to take the stump against
Mark Hanna whom he declares he can do
muon damage by telling of his corruption
tactics in the south to bring about the
nomination of Mckinley. BlOdgett says
that he borrowed money from the men
whose names figure in the indictments,
and that his notes are outstanding for the
amounts involved.
peculiar feature of the case is that
Dickson. one of the men, to-day publicly
repudiates the allegations which he is al
legged to have made before the grand jury
when the bill was found, declaring that
Blodgett did not represent himself as
federal official, and that he never pai1
him a dollar to get him am appointment
After his row at the custom house Blod
gett was ordered to give bond or go to
Jail He made no effort to comply
and was accordingly sent to
jail, where he spent tonight. His bond
IS $500 His wrath viii probably be cooled
off by tomorrow. and he will call for
friends to release him.
