wrecked in the yards here by running
into an open switch and colliding with
loaded freight cars.
The train was few minutes behind

believe that the switch was left open after
a freight train passed out a few min

At any rate, this is the second accident
which has occurred in that switch in the
past few weeks. The excuse for the other
was that the engine was too heavy for
the switch.
The passenger train was in charge of
Conductor Ballard, and Engineer DuBose
was on the engine.

signal and had his hand upon the brakes

Engineer DuBose says that Il was like
a flash, too.

but most awful sight they ever witnessed,

Former Volunteer Officers Under Err

Atlanta, Oct. 2.-Acting Adjutant Gene
raj Byrd issued the following circular this
afternoon:
The following decisions have been made
and are published for information Of all
concerned:
First. Retirement of Oficers.-No appli-
cation under Sec. No. 1121, Military Code.
can be entertained unless made by an Of
ficer in commission, except in case of an
ex-officer who had resigned previous to
Oct. q, 1891, and who had the required
service al the date of his resignation.
United States Volunteer Officers.-"There
Is no authority of law for persons who
served as officers of United States Volun-
teers during the Spanish-Amercan war,
to wear the uniform or TO use the title of
their former rank" (Letter Secretary of
War to Adjutant General of Georgia, Oct.
20, 1892
The impression prevails to a large extent
among the volunteer officers of the late
Spanish-American war that they were
privileged to wear their uniforms upon
military occasions. This has been done in
the recent past, and Col. Byrd wrote to
the Secretary of War for a decision upon
this point, which is given in the language
quoted in the circular above given.

BELIEVE IN A SHORT CROP.
Commissioners of Agriculture Fig.

Commissioners of Agriculture Fig
ure on Cotton Output.
Atlanta, Oct. ga composite crop es-
innate by the Commissioners of Agricul-
ture, now in convention. is from 100000
to $4,000 bales.
President Stevens asked the members of
the convention to figure out their esti-
mate on the total cotton crop, and the
estimates made by each commissioner was
practically the same. Only one ran over
the $500, O00- bale mark, Col. Charles Schulz
err of Louisiana, who placed his figures at
100000 and over. The estimates made by
the other members of the convention were
within the half million limit above 1900, =
0O0
II was stated at this conference of the
commissioners that much of the cotton had
already been picked in some of the states
and the indications were that the crop
would fall far short of last years crop
and even the figures which were selected
at the beginning of the present season.
The majority of the members of the con-
vention said that this years crop would
be fully % per cent. short of the crop last
year. and they gave their reasons for
thinking this way.

the money and retained 81, 663, turning over

Another decision was rendered that ser

cord can insure his own life in behalf OF

distinction made by the Supreme Court is

gaining a foothold here.
Richland. Alapaha, Douglas, Oclla and
Americas have been placed under the ban,
though there seems to be some doubt
whether the one suspected case In the lat
ter place is really smallpox.
1t is probable that the City Council, at a

will pass an ordinance making vaccinati ton
compulsory
The physicians of the city held con-
ference this afternoon and recommended
that such action be taken as a precaution-
airy measure, though there has not up to
this time been a suspicious case here.
