DIRECT TO AMERICUS
RAILWAY is COMING,
Strong Competition For Brunswick &
Birmingham.
SIXTY MILES OF ROAD GIVEN.
If Company Will Accept Same and
Use Lines-In This Event the Route
Will Be Direct to Americas Our
People Want the Road.

While the Times-Recorder has never
doubted that Americas would get the
new Brunswick & Birmingham Rail-
way, the prospect thereof brightens
every day. Over beyond the Flint
river competition for the road between
rival points is quite spirited, and the
Cordele Sentinel learns that Mr.. J.
Lee Ensign has offered the B. & B,
Railroad thirty miles of track, from
Ooilla to Worth, if the B. & B, will
come oyer his line. That Ashburn is
in this latest move and offers right-of-
way through the county and depot ia
cilities. That J. S. Belts & Co. at
Ashburn held meeting last week for
the purpose of probably rendering
twenty miles of road owned by them,
which extends west from Ashburn and
toward Americas. If this report is
true it can be readily seen that from
fifty to sixty miles of road has been
terdered, and if accepted will land the
road by Americas. Tue report comes
from an apparently reliable source and
the offer is too good to be treated
lightly by the B. & B, people.

PATIENCE OF EIGHTEEN YEARS
Rewarded in Discovery of Valued
Photograph

Captain John A, Cobb received yes
terday from an artist in Illinois valu-
ed photograph which for nearly eigh-
teen years he has been trying to locate.
1t was from the original plate taken of
the inaugural of President Jefferson
Davis at Montgomery in 1861, and be-
side President Davis stands General
Howell Cobb, the distinguished father
of Captain Cobb, of Amer1cus, who as
president Of the Confederate provision
al congress is administering the oath
of Office to MIR. Davis. The exercises
took place upon the portico of the pres
ent Alabama statehouse, the first capt.
tol of the Confederacy, and the photo
shows an immense thrOng of spectators
in the capitol grounds. The plate was
made by a northern artist, who shortly
afterwards returned north and his
Whereabouts could not be discovered.
Captain Cobb, desiring to secure a
copy of the picture from the original
plate, went to Montgomery several
years ago but not one of the now his
toric pictures could be found IN that
city. A year ago the photo appeared
in the Woman's Home Companion, q
northern publication. and after long
correspondence with the editor Captain
Cobb finally located the snte-bellum ar
fist in Illinois, and yesterday received
the coveted photograph which he
prizes most highly,

SHARP DECLINE IN CONTRACTS.
Cotton Tumbled Sixteen Points On

After decided break last week the

ton quotations yesterday, particularly
as New York showed a disposition
that way. But weak foreign cables

everything went back below 8 cents,
February tumbling from 9,O6 to $50,
March and May losing about the

THAT sNOWsTORM A BLESSING.
Assures a Fruit Crop Unless Late
Freeze Comes.

The housetops in Americas were still
white with snow yesterday, though
last nights rain probably removed
every vestige of the beautiful. This
weather and this snow will keep back
the buds and the tender growth on all
plants, and will greatly lessen the dan
ger from late frosts, if it does not re-
move it altogether. Farmers feel bet
ter over the outlook now than at any

the fruit crop will bs fully as large, if
not larger, than that of last year.

AN ABANDONED INFANT,
Mysterious Case in Which Woman
Black FiRurea

Black Figures.
A young woman attired in black and
wearing white sailor straw hat left a.
well-dressed infant In the vestibule at the
home of John Delaney, No. 1909 10Th street
northwest, about o'clock last night. The
infant was committed to the care of a
nurse in the employ of the board of chill
drens guardians and the police of the
eighth precinct are making an investiga-
tion.
1t was stated by the officers today that
they had been unable to Judge from the
statements made to them whether the wo-
man who abandoned the infant was white
or mulatto. Some of them are inclined
TO believe that she is the mother of the
child, while others believe she is a do
mestic, possibly nurse, employed by the
Infants mother. 1t is the opinion of the
police that the young woman intended to
deposit the little one on the steps of the
Washington Hospital for Foundiings, on
10th street, but was prevented from doing
so by the presence of persons connected
with the institution seated on the lawn
The infant was wrapped In a black shawl
and the woman having it in charge was
seen about the vicinity of 10th and o
streets during the early part of the night
She made inquiry at one house concerning
the location of the founding hospital
There was nobody seated in front of Mr..
Delaney's home. and the woman took ad-
vantage of an opportunity to place the in
FAINT in the vestibule carrying the black
shawl away with her. She hurried around
the corner of r street, entered a closed
carriage and was driven away She was
followed to the carriage of man, who
returned home after seeing her being hur-
ried away in the vehicle
Policeman Reith took charge of the in
fant and placed 1t in charge of the nurse

Telegraph Company Responsible for
Damage in Certain Contingency.
A suit against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, alleging the non-delivery
Of a telegram, for several days pending be-
fore Justice Of the Peace Callan, has just
been decided. Policeman Samuel Paine
sued the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany for falling to deliver a telegram sent
by him from Norfolk Va. After a lengthy
hearing last Saturday the justice Of the
peace reserved his decision. He now gives
Judgment for Policeman Paine for 33 cents
and COSTS explaining that the evidence did
not show any actual damages sustained by
the policeman. From the evidence 1t ap-
peared that Paine had obtained leave OF
absence for five days, beginning July Z,
and took advantage of the opportunity for
a trip to Norfolk. The 11th Of July he
missed the boat coming to Washington and
telegraphed Lieut.. McCathran for an ex-
tension Of leave for one day. 1t Is under
stood that the message was received In
Washington, but was never delivered.
Lieut. McCathran reported Policeman
Paine's absence from duty, and the latter
was fined two days pay.
It is said that this case establishes the
precedent that kilograms must be deltv-
cred. and II not. and any actual damage
occurs to the party sending 1t, the COM
pany Is responsible, but the company is
not responsible for mental anguish to the
party sending the telegram. The damage
must be pecuniary. Attorney Edward q.

INSPECTORS REPORT.
Total of 875 Boilers Examined the
Past Year.

Fast 1ear
The District Commissioners have received
the annual report of E. F. Vermillion, in
spector of steam boilers for the District Of
Columbia The report states that he in
spected a total of 675 boilers, IS being in
spected for the District. Sixteen boilers
were totally condemned and 50 condemned
for repairs. There were found Is cases of
internal corrosion, II cases of external cor
rosion and 10 cases of sediment. Twenty
two defective safety valves were discovered
and % defective steam gauges. Twenty
eight boilers were condemned on account of
defective f1ues. OF the boilers inspected,
other than those belonging to the District
of Columbia, fees were received for 632
boilers, at s. each. making total of re-
ceiptS of 81, 1tO. Mr.. Vermillion states that
fees are still due from the owners of five
boilers. His expenses for the year were
$1,000. leaving balance of s21i0.
Inspector Verm1llion makes an inter
esting statement and suggestion concern
ing the boilers used for heating purposes
In the public schools. He says;
AT the request of the board of educa-
tion the low-pressure steam boilers in a
number of the school buildings were exam
ined and condemned by me. These examina-
tions occurred In the fall and interrupted
the proceedings of the schools to quite an
extent. as it became necessary to have
numerous repairs made in order to make
the boilers safe. In one of the principal
buildings the boiler was found to be
broken one-half of its circumference.
thereby endangering the lives and limbs of
the occupants. AS these boilers are not
under my Jurisdiction, and that this inter-
ference shall not occur again, / have the
honor to recommend that some one be de-
tailed by the board of education to make
an annual examination of the above-men-
toned boilers.
The District of Columbia should have a
heating and ventilating engineer for su-
pervision of the heating apparatus of it's
school buildings, as In other cities"
