similar permit, visited NJ. Guerin at 9
o'clock this evening and conferred with

Augusta, Ga, August 15.-It is

Coast Line has acquired a half inter-

road, held by the Louisville and Nash

Southern acquiring this lease OF the

interest in it from the present lessee,

Atlanta, Ga, August 15.-The Con-
stitution tomorrow will say: The Sea-
board Air Line has started a surveying
party from Augusta to run a line to
its road to Athens, shortening the dis
lance between this city and Augusta.
Next week the application for a charter
will be advertised in each county
through which the road will run. The
name of the line will be The Chatta-
nooga, Augusta and Charleston Air
Line. It's incorporators will be: Good

C. w. Album, w. B. Chisholm, Of
Charleston, S. c.; Thomas w. Alex

Paul Muslin, Charles S Heard, James
U. Jackson, Of Augusta, Ga, and S. w.
Travers, Edmund Randolph Williams,
of Richmond, Va.
A survey has heen made from Angus
ia to Charleston.
There is reason to belive that the
road will be built from Athens to Au-
gusta and ON to Charleston. Between
Athens and Augusta there is some good
farming territory without g convenient
railroad outlet. From Augusta to
Charleston the territory is not 20 good.
From Athens to Charleston the con-
struction would be very expensive.
The state of Georgia would probably
be willing to sell the Northeastern,
which extends from Athens to Lula,
thirty-nine miles.

lMPERIALISTS AND ROYALISTS
Followers OF These Parties Holding Banquets-A Telegram to the
Former From Prince Victor Napoleon-The Cry of Down With
the Jesuhs Brings on a Riot in the Streets-Guerin, Pres.
ident of the AntLSemite League Still Barricaded in
the Club Quarters-A Jewish Interna-
tional Association.

Paris, August 1.-THE warrant for
the arrest of NJ. Guerin, president of
the Anti-Semite League, who, with
SympathiZers, has been barricaded
since Saturday last in the offices of
the league, has been placed in the
hands of Magistrate Fabre. Guerin is
now regarded as an outlaw in a state
of rebellion since his notification of the
issue of the warrant. He cannot claim
the right of a citizen Of exemption
from arrest from sunset to sunrise, and
the persons garrisoning the ~headquar-
ters of the league, numbering about
forty, are in the same box. Strict Or
ders have been given to arrest every
one attempting to enter or leave the
building.
Three Of Guerin's friends who at
tempted to leave the place this morn
ing, were arrested. They all carried
six-chambered reVolvers and hatchets
and what Frenchmen designate as
american knuckle-dusters," otherwise
brass knuckles. The project Of police
is still awaiting orders from the gov
eminent in regard to what ACTION is to
be taken against Guerin.
NJ. Guerin this evening displayed an
Anti-Semite tri-cOlOr flag on the roof
Of the Anti-Semite headquarters. On
the flag was a motto reading: France
for Frenchmen."
NJ. Waldeck-ROusseau conferred sAv-
eral times during the day with NJ.
Lepine, the project of police, and, in
consideration of the fact that a re-
course to force in the arrest of M.
Guerin might lead to a useless sacri-
flee Of life, entailing still graver de-
mOnstratiOns at the Obsequies of the
victims, the premier decides not to
expose the life Of any man-soldier, po-
liceman or ~fireman-but to leave M.
Guerin a choice between self-imprison-
ment and arrest.
Meanwhile it looks as though this
affair would have a rather tame nd
ing. The friends of M. Guerin are
busying themselves to rescue him from
an impossible and foolish position. Mr..
Stevens, son of the Well-knoWn artist,
obtained from the government a per-
NIT to enter M. Guerin's house and
advise him to surrender at discretion,
assuring him that no one doubted his
courage but that he ought not to COM

Mormon Elders Sentenced for Non.
PAYMENT of Taxes

Chattanooga, Tenn, August 15.-Sat-
urday two Mormon elders were arrest
ed in Taylor county, Georgia, for re-
fusing to pay poll taxes. The elders
claimed they were preachers and ex-
empt. The judge of the superior court
stated from the bench that he refused
to recognize them as preachers and as
sessed a fine. The elders had no money
and were started off to jail, but sue
ceeded in getting the jailor to accept
their watches as security until they
could send for money to pay the fines.
President Rich, of the Southern Nor
mon Society, says he will proceed in
the courts against the Taylor county
Judge.

PRISONERS TOR YUAsrD
Evidence of Euhuknan Treatment OF
Prisoners by the Philippines

San Francisco, August 15.-The Bull
letin publishes a startling story from
the Philippines regarding Lieutenant
Gilmore and the party from the York
town who were captured by the Phil
ippinOs and who have been reported
from official sources as being we'll cared
for and we'll treated. It appears that
when the Americans reached a 1sidro,
Where the Yorktown members and some
soldiers and civilians had been impris-
oned, they found the names of the pris-
Oners scratched on the walls of the
jail. Some letters from the men were
found secreted under stones, and a
Spaniard, who had been i~ntrusted with
several, presented them to General
LaWtOn. The letters told of the hard
ships the men were compelled to suf-
fer and begged that aid be sent them.
The men complained that they had been
starved, beaten and bound, and more
over, were in rags. One of the letters,
signed by Albert Lowenshon, says that
the S%paniards had been treated very
badly, worse than the Americans, and
that hundreds were dying of ~dysentery
and other diseases n that the gov
took no notice of the sickness
prevailing. In his letter, Lowenshon,
who was formerly of the steamship
ZeaIandia, gave the list of prisoners
held by the Philippines as follows:

TWO STATIONS WANTED
To the Editor of The Spy:

To the Editor of The Spy:
Worcester was not originally con-
structed with the intention of using a
single Union station for all the rail-
roads, and it is not now advisable to
attempt reconstruction. There should
be two union stations, one near Lincoln
square for the northern roads, another
for the remainder at Washington
square or such other location as may be
selected Electric trains with baggage
car attached can run between stations
frequently as desired. Freight stations
and machine shops can remain as they
now are with the tracks thereto. Reg
ulate the hours they shall be used to
best accommodate all interested; build
marginal tracks around the town to ac-
commodate freight and such other
trains as may wish to use them. EN-
ploy sufficient number of gatemen to
ensure safety.
Boston is satisfied with two union sta,
tons. Why Should not Worcester be
content herewith? This will better ac-
commodate the people, Save your mo-
ney and pay as you go. Other meth
DDS create greater expense with less ac-
commodation. J. H. B.

GOING BACK.
State Detective Murray still Working on
the Ashburnham Bank 3reak.

the Ashburnham Bank 3reak.
State Detective p. F. Murray goes
to Ashburnham again this morning to
take up his work in connection with
the bank robbery in that town. Mr.
Murray said yesterday there was no
definite clue to the identity of the men
who did the job.
There is only one thing that savors
of being clue, and that is that two
strangers were seen driving about the
town on the afternoon previous to the
robbery. Since that time the officers
have been unable to get any trace of
the horse and wagon, and it is to this
end that the officers are working, hop
ing to learn something of the where
abouts of the vehicle and it's owners
Mr.. Murray says in his estimation
the work is that of the gang who
have been operating in various places
throughout the state. The manner
in which the door to the building was
forced. is almost Identical with the at
tempt at the Oxford bank a short time
ago. Powder and nitro-g lycerine were
employed in getting at the cash and
securities, and the manner in WlAGh the
contents of the safe was strewH@bout
shows that a heavy charge was used.
Another fact is evident, and that is
that the thieves got out soon after the
box was blown open. Bonds and val
liable securities were scattered in all
directions. the only thing taken being
the cash in the strong box.
