Attitude of Railroads Toward a Sep
arate Car Law.
(CharlOtte Observer

There is no doubt about the fact
that large measure of appropriately is
attached to the railroads of this State.
Iu This regard North Carolina may not
be singular; we are speaking only of
North Carolina now. Some of the dis
like is founded on reason and some of it
is not; but it exists, and on account Oft
a railroad company can seldom get JUS
tlce in the courts and suffers in many
other ways. We have told the rail-
Dads before of some of the causes of
their being i'll disfavor, prime cause
being that in any matter of a claim
against them they are uncompromising,
neutrality-suspicious. regard to the mer-
its of the case, they fight it to finish,
losing nearly always, because of the
character they have established for
contesting everything whether they are
right or wrong.
Now we are going to tell them some
thing else! Another reason for their
unpopularity is their resistance of the
reasonable demands of the public upon
them as regards train and station &C
commodations and kindred matters.
The separate car matter is case in
point. The popular demand for sepa-
rate car legislation is unanimous, yet
the railroads, instead of yielding a
prompt and cheerful acquiescence to a
reasonable public opinion, are stripped
and girded for a fight upon it. 1t is
very foolish, and it is astonishing that
the railroad people, who have never
been charged with lack Of sense, do
not see the folly of it. The separate
| car law is coming. 1t will come through
the next Legislature, through the rail-
| road commission or through the Legis.
lature of 1901. 1t may be STAYED off,
but it is coming, and in the meantime
| the railroads will have accumulated a
| lot of unnecessary appropriately with
out any corresponding benefit beyond
the mere postponement of the day.

Cattle Stealing and TamDering with
Telegraph Wires.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. 22-General
Demet Ruis Castillo returned to-day from
his trip into the interior of the Department
of Santiago, where, under the direction of
General Wood, the military governor, he
has been establishing the minor civil gov
ernments. He reports that there has been
considerable cattle stealing in the neghbor-
hood of San Luis. Tomorrow Col. Fran-
cisco Valiente, chief of gendarmerie, will
leave for that district with a substantial
force to endeavor to capture the thieves
According to General CastilIos, the
Cubans have again been tampering with the
telegraph lines. The line to Guantanamo
has been maliciously cut twice. In both
cases the cutting was absolutely wanton,
because the wire has not been used, as in
the case Of the cutting of the line to Alto
Songo for binding hay. The offenders mere
ly cut it and left II. Colonel Valiente has
special instructions in this matter.

HARBOR TOO SHALLOW
BATTLE SHIPS CANNOT SAFELY
LEAVE OR ENTER NEW YORK.
Not Enough Water When the Tide Is
Struck by the massachusetts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-The naval au-
thorities have learned to their dismay that
it is not possible for one of our big battle
ships like the Oregon or Massachusetts to
get out of New York harbor during extra
low water, such as prevailed when the latter
battle ship struck OH Diamond reef a short
time ago. no aid the court of inquiry now
in session at New York trying to ascertain
the responsibility for the grounding the
Navy Department called upon the coast
survey for special measurements of the
water in the harbor near Diamond reef and
upon the rock itself. The report of the SUI
perintendent of the survey has just been
received, and it shows in the opinion of the
naval officers, that it is not possible for a
ship of the size of the Massachusetts and
with her maneuvering qualities to get out
of the harbor without touching the bottom
when the tide is ebbing ard the wind strong.
The ship must pass on the Brooklyn shore
off Coenties reef and then cross over to the
channel between Diamond reef and the New
York shore The turn is too short for the
Massachusetts to make, and the best water
to be found in the best course she could pick
on the day she touched was one foot and
four inches less than the draft of the ship
as she started, namely. twenty six feet two
inches OF course these conditions are not
normal in the harbor but they may occur ON
any low tide with the wind in a certain quar-
ter, so the matter will be brought at once
to the attention of Congress with a view TO
securing the removal of the upper part of
Diamond reef
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The examination of
the battle ship Massachusetts to-day dis
closed three large dents in the port side of
the vessel forward. One of the officials told
reporter that the injuries We're much more
serious than had been anticipated. From a
hole in the bottom of the Massachusetts
several long splinters of wood were taken.
This is thought at the navy yard to indicate
that the ship struck the wreck of a barge
which sank off Governors island several
years ago and which at extreme low water
has been a menace TO navigation ever since.

the National Tobacco Company, of Louis
vile, is a branch, is in the city and wit
messed the destruction of his property. He
said that it would be at once rebuilt. The
fire was discovered at O'Clock on the Sec
ond floor of the building used for drying
purposes. Three alarms called the entire
fire department to the scene, and though
the tiremen worked herocally they could
do little else than save the property adj
jacent as the three big buildings, which oc-
cupy nearly the entire square between
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-ffth and Main
and Market streets, were seen to be in
eNltaDly doomed.
From the three-story drying building tho
flames spread rapidly west to the four-story
warehouse and east to the three-story
steaming house. In the building which first
caught two hundred hands, mostly women
and children, Were employed, but the ma
jority of these escaped safely only a few
being injured, as did two hundred who We're
at work in the steaming building. In the
four-stOry warehouse one thousand men
were at work. but they had plenty of time
TO escape. The flames gained rapid head
way and the fire department hindered
to great degree by a lack of water, seven
engines being at one time useless. Failing
walls added to the danger of the work and
some of the firemen had narrow escapes
When the alarm sounded in the picking de-
partment the employees of this building be-
gan to make their escape in an orderly
manner but George Tisshendorf, foreman
of two of the floors and John Packham and
William Sempie remained too long in the
burning building and were forced to jump
for their lives. Fourteen hundred men,
women and children are thrown out of en-
ployment
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
night Waterman, Lewis Leach, said that
he left the building TO go home at O'Clock
and that everything was all right then. The
force OF employees go to work at $50 OclOck
and it was not until after they had been at
work about two hours and half that the
fire was discovered.

low Treasurer In Jail.
Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.


ANDERSON. Ind. Feb. 25.-From the
records Of the Circuit Court tonight was
stricken the suit for divorce and action for
$4,000 alimony which was filed last week
by Mrs. j. f. Van Deventer. and at that
time caused great sensation. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. and Mrs. Van Deventer have
healed their little differences and will re-
turn to this city and make their home. The
Van Deventers have been leading factors
in social life in the gas belt and until her
sudden departure last week it was generally
taken for granted that their matrimonial
relations were very pleasant. 1t has later
developed however that Mrs. Van DeVen-
ter believed her husband was Il slave to his
interests and work and neglected her. Mr.
Van Deventer is the controlling spirit in
the Victor window-glass works, being inter
ested together with Max Carl, who former
ly lived in Toledo. Van Deventer is the
leader of Indiana glass men, and repre-
sents them in all legislative affairs, all
wage matters and combination work. He is
away from home much of the time, and
when at home he has been in the habit of
staying at his office as much as twenty
hours a day working over his reports and
books. He has been phenomenally success
full in business affairs. but it seems that
this success cost him his family relations.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Van Deventer are well
liked. and they will be received back into
Anderson social circles as though nothing
had happened. All her friends declare she
is a charming woman. They have two in
teresting children. both of whom Mrs. Van
Deventer took to Maumee with her.
