KILLED IN A WRECK.
Flood and Fire Cause Awful Havoc
on Southern Railway.
Passenger Train Near McDonough. Ga >
Ran into Waahoue and 50 Persons
Were Sent into Eternity without
Moments Warning.

Atlanta, Ca, June 25.-A passenger
train on the Macon branch of the
Southern railway ran into a washout
1H miles north of McDonough, Ca,
Saturday night and was completely
wrecked. The wreck caught fire and
the entire train, with the exception
of the sleeper. was destroyed. Every
person on the train except the occu-
pants of the Pullman car persisted.
Not a member of tie train crew es-
capped. Thirty-five people in all were
killed. A cloudburst broke over that
section of the country about six
o'clock Saturday night and presum-
ably shortly after dark washed out
a section of the track nearly 100 yards
in length. Into this the swiftly NOV
ing train plunged. The storm was
still raging and all the ear windows
were closed. The passengers, secure
as they thought and sheltered from
the weather, went to death without
an instant's warning. The train, con-
sisting of a baggage car, secona-class
coach, first-class coach and Pull
man sleeper, was knocked into
kindling wood by the fall. The wreck
caught fire a few minutes after. the
fall and all the coaches were burned
except the Pullman car. Every per-
son on the train, except the occu-
pants of the Pullman car. persisted
in the disaster. There was no escape,
as the heavy Pullman car weighted
down the others and the few alive
in the sleeper were unable to render
assistance to their fellow passengers.

From a reliable source the Register
base ben able to learn of some OF the
proposed actions to be taken by the
American Tin Plate Company in the
near future. 1t is said that the COM
pany will discontinue some of their
mills and concentrate their manufac-
turing at three different points. 1t is
most probable the largest plant will
be at Elwood, Indiana. The present
plant there is quite large, but several
mills in the gas belt will be moved
to this city, which will almost double
its present capacity.
New Castle will also be centre, and
very likely the Pittsburg mills will be
moved to the above city. The present
plant is large but with these additions
it VIII be a. monster mill. Martins
Ferry is the third city whose plant is
already being enlarged. 1t is said an
other addition will probably be built
in the near IuLure. 1t was also learned
that the mill at Cambridge, Ohio,
would be operated, as this mill is es-
pecially adapted for making an extra
quality of tin plate The mills at Gin
cinnati will most probably be moved to
Indiana. TAe'La belle mill, of Wheel
ing, will be operated, as it is near
Martins Ferry, one of the centres, and
it would not be profitable to move this
mill.
These concentrations of mills will be
beneficial only to those towns where
the mills will be located, and will be
a sad loss to many towns who solely
depend on these mills.

All the departments of the National
Tube Company's Riverside mill at Ben
wood are running, and a large force
of men are at work. A big order for
six-inch pipe for the Standard Oil
Company is being filed in the tube
works. 1t is understood that this is
the first order of this kind ever re-
ceived here from the Standard. The
blast furnace was idle two days during
the week. Both the steel and plate de-
partments are on as'usual.
1t is expected that the new 700-ton
blast furnace being erected at Bogg's
Run in Upper Benwood for the COM
pary, will be ready for blast early in
July of the coming year. Work has
not yet been resumed on the new open
hearth steel plant, which is located
near the big furnace Operations upon
this addition were suspended several
weeks ago The improvements when
completed will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. At the new blast
furnace four large stoves are under
course of construction, giving employ
ment to big force of workmen from
which the stacks are now being added,
will soon be completed. The other
two stoves were started only a few
weeks ago. The structural iron is
also being rapidly put up for the en-
gine-house at the south end of the
building, and the furnace. 1t is said
that the plant will be larger than the
old furnace.

The Bellaire steel plant has all OF
its departments on in full except. one
of the blast furnaces, which has been
closed down for repairs. This fur
mace has been in active work for a
number of years. 1t was reported that
the furnace was compelled to close
down on account of the gas company
shutting off the supply of gas. This
was a mistake, as the company makes
its own gas. This furnace will be re-
paired and will be off for some time.
The National Glass Company is
working every day. The work on the
new addition is going on rapidly.

The following appears in Fridays is
sue of the Warrington Advocate:
The new cooperative window-glass
factory began operation Monday morn
ing with a full force of workmen. The
first glass was blown without difficulty
and everything moved along satisfacto-
rily except that the quality of glass was
not what tie company desired.
This was due, however, to the quail
ty of the cuilet, and is a condition to be
met in. the first blow in all new facto-
ries. Inc second melt effectually elm
mates all dirt and foreign substances
from the molten glass and makes the
finished product smooth and clear
The skilled workmen are for the most
part former employees of Western glass
companies and are competent workmen.
A great many OF them came from Indi-
ana where some of the largest factories
are located. They are an orderly, gen.
teel class and will prove an excellent
and valuable addition to the citizenship
of Warrington. The factory has an
abundance of gas and the fuel is of a
good quality.
The workmen say that il is far SUI
perior to that found in the Indiana
field. iAe factory is perhaps the most
convenient OF any similar structure in
the country an advantage which means
much to the workmen and one which lie
due solely to the fact that the work
men, members of the corporation, built
it themselves. The site is one which
has many advantages, and 50 far as can
be ascertained the woTkmen are all
pleased with the new conditions In
the factory are a number Of veteran
glass workmen, among whom may be
mentioned Messrs. Barrett, SIRIUS, Glib
son, Ed. Burrel, Frank Crowel, Wm.
Langdon and several others whom the
Advocate has had the good fortune TO
meet
The Warrington glass works also
started this week under favorable con-
ditions and write-up on the factory
an workmen will appear next week.

At the Lower Benwood mill the
skelp department closed down Thurs
day afternoon and the steel depart
ment quit work Friday morning. 1t
is expected that operations viii be re-
sumea during the week. A large force
of workmen are engaged in removing
the machines from the old nail fac
tory and making other preparations
for the contemplated Improvements to
the company's location in this part
of the industrial town. When the old
factory closed down a number of years
ago some of its machinery was remov-
ed to the company's Belmont plant on
the South Side. so it is learned, but
quite an number of the nail machines,
probably 1875, were left standing. As
soon as these have been taken out OF
the building it will be torn down, so
as to provide more available ground
north of the plant for the proposed new
tube mill.

In the matter of labor organizations
this country is so years behind Eng
land. Never in the history of the
world was there a system of labor so
grinding as in England at the close of
the eighteenth century. But the work

to-day they are betterd fed, receive
higher wages and work half as many
hours a day as they did at the close
of the eighteenth century.-Professor

A war by the farmers and dairy
men of New York, New Jersey and

counters are to be opened in all of the

city, and the department stores as a
beginning. which plan of selling will

of the city. In" this way the farmer
will get better price for the milk and
the customer will save at least two
cents on each quart; but this means
death to the milk trust, and its arbi-
trary and selfish practices, and the
utter abolishing of the milk-can sys

to have a regulation legal capacity
of 40 quarts to the can. but in most
instances they are made to hold AZ

said to be simple, and gas of excellent
lighting properties can be produced at
$1,21 per 1000 feet. The gas is extract
ed from any kind of wood by extreme
heat, and the cost of the wood is re-
turned in the value of the charcoal
that comes from the furnace. Tar is
