COLLISION NEAR VALDOSTA.
Freight Trnin Broke in TwO-NcgrO
Factions stirred Up.

Naldosta. Ga, Jan. 31.-There was col
llsion on the Georgia Southern and Fior-
ida road, two miles north of this city, last
night. caused by an extra freight train
breaking in TWO. The train was a long
one, and was on its way 20 this city, com
ing down a grade. On some way the train
broke in two near the center of the train.
A fiagman in the caboose signaued the en-
gineer but il is understood that the en-
gineer thought the signal was 20 stop
lie thereupon applied the brakes, and the
front section of the train came 10 a stop,
The rear section crashing into it. Several
cars were badly torn up. and Conductor
Robert Branham of Macon was injured
by being thrown over bench in his ca
boose. 1t was thought at first that mis-
injuries were serious. He was brought
to this city and medical attention given
him. His wife came to his side to-day,
and he is said TO be much improved now.
The wreck was cleared promptly, and traf-
tic was delayed only a short while.
1t is said that there is danger of a Sc
rious clash among the negroes in the
Dasher district over the tragedy which
occurred there Saturday night. Sam Jones,
the negro who was Xxi ed, was buried yes
terday. and the negroes attended his fun
eral in scores. Nest of them were drink
ing and were cursing and making threats
of what they were going to do to Fred
Goldwire the slayer 1t is said that both
Of the negroes belonged to the st. JOS
ephs Society, an organization among the
negroes for the protection of each other.
The society is torn into factions over the
tragedy, and 1t is alleged that there is
yet danger that they will go on the war
path for each other. Both negroes were
well known and both are said to have
been sober a the time of the killing.

DO NOT "MEET" DEWEY.

Remain Away From the Mclean
Musicale.
From the Chicago Record.

Washington. Jan. 36.-We are having
more trouble with the ambassadors. Their
sensitive souls are afflicted by the lin
difference of the American people to the
etiquette that should govern their treat
ment of them! last week Mr.. and Mrs
Joan r. Mclean gave a musicale enter
tainment in homer of their sister and new
brother-in-law, Admiral and Mrs Dewey
1t was one of the most sumptuous func-
lions ever given in Washington. A bunch
of famous singers was brought over from
the Metrop olitan opera House in New
York and the Baltimore Symphony or
chastra which ranks next to the Boston
organi cation, completed the programme
Everybody of any account was invited
and the toilets and jewels We're superb
Lots of people came from Baltimore, Phil
adClph-a New York, Pittsburg and Gin
cirrati and other places, and were well
re- aid for the journey The supper was
luXuri us, and, in fact, all Of the ar
rang mants were perfect. with one excep-
tion: The five ambassadors received invi-
tatons to meet Admiral and Mrs. Dew
ey." Therefore they would not go.
An ambassador cannot meet" in a So
cial sense any person of inferior rank
He is the personal representative of his
sovereign, and of course it would be very
rude TO ask queen victoria or the EN-
Teror Of Germany or the King of Italy
Ito meet" Admiral Dewey and his bride.
1t would be perfectly proper to invite Ad-
miral and Mrs. Dewey ito meet" the
King of Iay, but when the invitation is
put the other way, it is a grievous of
tense to the dignity of the superior per-
son If Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean had sent
the ambassadors and their wives straight
Invitations without reference to meeting
anVbOdv they would have attended the
musicale and enjoyed it as much as any
body else; but as long as their cards bore
the names of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey
they had to stay away.

DAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENT.
VaIdostan Writes of Girl Who Went
with Twenty-Ninth.

Valdosia, Ca, Jan. 3l.-A letter received
here to-day from Corpl. Tom Williams,
who is with Company F, Twen y-ninth
Regiment of Volunteers, in the Philippine
IslanIs, gives an interesting account #
the death of Gen. Lawton. 1t happenei
lust moment after he had commended
the Georgia boys for their gallantry in the
battle he having said to them that the
fight was one of the prettiest he ever saw.
He was within sixty feet of the Georgians
when he was killed.
Corpl. Williams also gives an interesting
account of the Daughter of the twenty
ninth Regiment-a young woman who
boarded the ship with them as a soldier
at San Francisco. She was dressed as a
soldier, and it was not known that she
was a woman until she tainted. At Hon
olulu she was put off of the transport, but
she got on it again. She was arrested
then, and it was the intention to send her
back from Manila TO America, but she
evaded The officers for some time. She
finally gave herself up and was adopted
by the regiment as the Daughter of the
Twenty-ninth. Corpl. Williams says that
she is doing some correspondence for some
of the papers, and is greatly beloved by
the troops, any of whom would fight for
her at the drop of a hat. He says she
continues to dress in the garb of a soldier
and looks like a soldier in every respect,
except that she is the 'prettiest soldier
he ever saw"

PLANT SYSTEM IN 1T.
Lines Want the Credit for Putting
on Mileage Books.

A gentleman prominently connected
with the Plant System said yesterday that
his line and others in Florida, as wen
as the Florida Central and Penlnsular,
were right in line for putting mileage
books on sale again. The meeting al which
the decision was reached was held at the
Office of the general passenger agent Of
the Florida Central and Peninsular in
Jacksonville, that line being the only one
of those represented at the meeting that
had such an Office in that city
The Plant System and the other lines
want to stand well with the travelling
men, naturally, and are DESTROYS that it
be understood that they had their hand
in the proceedings that finally resulted in
the restoration Of the privilege of buying
1,000-mile books at a reduction.
What travelling men have long desired
but have been unable to secure from the
railroads are Interchangeable mileage
books. The lines in the South have never
had such books on sale, and those sec
tions in which they have been used are
strongly opposed TO their restoration. 1t
was found to the advantage OF the roads
to take them off. and it is extremely i'm
probable that sufficient pressure can be
brought to bear by the travelling men to
secure them again.
The clerical work Of INTERCHANGEABLE
books is troublesome and confusing, and
too many opportunities are offered the
scalper TO make them very attractive to
the railroads. The lines usually believe
they can do better when working on their
own hook than when in a combination
with other lines in the interchangeable
mileage book scheme.
Mr. william Butler has returned from
Columbia, where he went on business con-
neoted with the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular. Mr.. Butter reports the work on
the Seaboard connecting link between
Cheraw and Columbia as progressing
well. and il is believed it will be complet-
ed so that the promises of officials may
be made good and through trains run on
Feb. Is. Track on the extension is being
laid from four points, the grading having
all been completed. Work on the bridges
over the Ccngaree and the Wateree is ad-
vancing.

A process is gaining vogue in Eng
and by which printing is done withous
ink, by means of electreity-which acts
from the face of the types upon damp pa
per containing a certain chemical which
the ele ticity decomposes. According to
tie Publishers Weekly The print obtain-
ed by this process resembles in clearness
a copper plate or litho-engraving, and Is
obtained in a more simple manner than
by letter-press printing. The ordinary
printers type forms, stereotypes or cleo
trotypes, constitute in themselves suit
able printing surface. and may be used
in a similar way, merely coming in con-
tact with the damped paper to form the
print The chemical additions to the pa
per which make it susceptible to the eIec-
trio current are to be added to the pup
and are said to be so cheap as to make no
appreciable addition to the cost of the
paper The paper does not depreciate by
keeping in stock, and can be supplied eth-
er in ans or rolls. 1t is claimed that all
printing presses now in use can be adapt
ed, at slight expense, for electrical INK
less printing. The only changes Will ne
to leave off the rollers and all of the NOV
able parts of the mixing apparatus, MT

Under as a conductor, connect the mega
tive and positive poles from the electrical

where Rats are in Demand.

From the Marquette Mining Journal
one of the local mining companies IS
buying rats in small way, which arc be-
ing put in a mine recently unwatered. Rats
are very valuable scavergcrs underground.
Much refuse Is left from the mails eaten
by the miners, which would in time he
come offensive If It were not devoured by
the ravenous rodents. There is never any
scarity of the rats in the cd mines, as
they multiply rapidly and keep the work
ings clean, but rising water drives them
from a deserted property, and they do no
return very readily after resumption. In
this particular case it was de med best to
increase the colony by buying and placing
a number of rats in the workings They
are purchased from the clerks in a local
store.
