THE COLORADO WRECK.
Tra1nmen Charged with Causing tn
Horror at New Castle.

Trainmen Charged with Causing the
Horror at New Castle.
New Castle, Co.., Sept. 13.-Frank
1'ul bank, conductor, and Engineer Os-
trander, deceased, of the Colorado Mid
land. railway, are charged by the cor
oner's jury with being responsible for
the frightful wreck which occurred
here last week. At the inquest the
jury decided from the evidence that
the conductor and engineer attempted
to arrive at New Castle siding upon
the time allotted by order of the train
dispatcher to the Rio Grande passenger
train west-bound.
The, death of Rev. Alexander Hart
man, of Herscher, ILL.,, and the finding
of the body of Engineer Ostrander in
creases the number of known dead to
II. The coroner's researches among the
ruins have convinced him that from
six to ten persons met death in the aw-
full accident. This materially reduces
the original estimate.

RAILROAD SO MILES LONG.
1t Defles the State Of Georgia and the
Railroad Com missiOn's Order.

1t Def1es the State of Georgia and the
Railroad CommissiOn's Order.
There is an obdurate little railroad
in Georgia which has not only shown .
disposition to fight all the rest of the
state, but which seems serenely conf
dent that it will win. It is only 36 miles
long and runs from Dublin to Tennilla
Its name is the Wrightsville & Tennille
railroad, and is especially distinguished
for it's prosperity and it's pugnacioua
qualities. Last year the cotton grow.
ers along the line of this road were
compelled to ship their cotton over tho
Georgia Central because the road re-
fused to issue through bills of lading
over any other line. Some of the grow.
ers wanted to ship their cotton over
the Augusta Southern, but the Wrights-
vile & Tennille refused to give them
through bills over that line, and made
no pretense to disguise their prefer
ences. The result was that the Georgia
Central got nearly all the cotton and
the Augusta Southern got left.
The matter was carried before the
railroad commission and that body
handed down a decision ordering the
Wrightsville & Tennille railroad to is.
sue through bills of lading over all
railroads and not to play any favorites.
The commission also ordered the at
torney-general of the state to begin
proceedings for damages against the
recalcitrant railroad and to try the
issue involved before the state courts.
Acknowledgement Terrell has prepared
his case and will go down to Dublin to
try it before Judge Hart. The defense
will be represented by former Senator
A. F. Daily, of Wrightsville. Not only
is the right of the state to manage its
. railroads involved in the trial of the
case, but the interstate commerce COM
mission is interested as well. The line
of the Georgia Central runs entirely
through the state, while the Augusta
Southern line-the destination of both
being Savannah-carries the freight
north to Hamburg and then south over
the Port Royal route through South
Carolina. This brings up the inter-
state commerce commission question,
and not only the railroad people of
Georgia but the cotton growers as we'll
are deeply interested in the result of
the legal contest.-Atlanta Constitu.

YELLOW Fever.
SIX fCases Officially Announced in
New OrlcNnN.

New Orleans, Sept 13.-Shortly be.
fore noon the board of health officially
declared, six of the suspicious cases
OF fever on St. Claude street to be
yellow fever. A couple of hours sub
se.quently the board announced another
pronounced case of yellow fever at Miro
and Esplanade streets, also in the
lower part OF the city, but mile or
more away from the infected square.
The announcement of the first six
cases of yellow fever was not unexpect-
cd, although it was hoped from the
delay on the part of the experts that
these cases were simply of bilious ma
laria. No general alarm has resulted
here, although the news rapidly spread
through the city. The authorities do
not believe that the situation is ma
terially worse than it was four or five
days ago, and they are still confident
of their ability, with modern sanitary
appliances, successfully to quarantine
the infected districts.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 13.-Excitement
over yellow fever has again been re-
newed here and an order has been
promulgated that all trains from the
infected district be forced to pass
through the city without stopping and
that quarantine be enforced with all
possible strictness.
Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 13.-The state
board of health has issued quarantine
orders against all points along the gulf
coast extending from Mobile to New
Orleans. This was done as measure
of extra caution because of the receipt
of unfavorable reports from the gulf
coast.
