Lets the Trustees Gut.

The Western Recorder OF Louisville,
XIV. edited by Dir. r. T. Eaton. contains
in its current issue further information
concerning the article printed in the New
York Evening Post, over which the late
Whitsitt-Eaton controversy has arisen.
DR.. Eaton says that the editor OF the
New York papers writes that the name of
the informant OF the Post and OF the al
legged trustee does not appear in the list
OF trustees published in the Recorder
scme time ago. This. of course, relieves
the seven silent trustees. two Of whom
are residents of this city.
IT is understood that two or three of
the Baptist papers in the South are begin
ming to comment on the Eaten matter.
The Biblical Recorder remarks editorialiy
upon the subject and refers to Dr.. Eaton

DULUTH CONTRACTOR TELLS OF
BIG PROJECTS UNDER WAY
Deepening of Channels From Duluth
to Buffalo Will Mark the Begin
ming of a New Era in
Lake Navigation.
Special to The Globe.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Mr E. T. Will
hams, who has the dredging contract at
Duluth, said today to your representative:
with the improvements contemplated
by the government in the chain of lakes
there will be marked decrease in freight
tariff between the Atlantic seaboard and
the lake towns. These improvements con-
sist in Strengthening channels and deep
ening harbors and passages connecting
the lakes. The reduction in tariffs arises
from increased carrying power of vessels.
''It will probably be some years before
the government finishes its works, but
the plans are fairly well advanced. These
improvements will afford a depth of
thirty feet of water from Buffalo to
Duluth. This means that vessels carry
ing 10000 tons can go from Buffalo to
any port on the great lakes and to Du-
luth. Vessels now carry about 1000 or
5000 tons
1--WE are dredging not only the Duluth
harbor, but the channels, and when fin
ished there will be sixteen miles of chan
nels twenty-one feet in depth and 300
acres Of basins. The average stage of
water will be twenty-five feet The
work will be finished Nov. l. 1903, The
work calls for widening and deepening
the canal connecting the lake with the
harbor This will give Duluth the finest
harbor in the chain Of lakes.
Duluth is the biggest wheat center in

TWO BLOWN TO ATOMS
FREIGHT LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODES
AT MACON, GA.
Three Men Dead, Two More Will Die,
and Eight Others Are Severely
Hurt - Negro Helper
Was Careless.

MACON, Ga, Jan. "A freight en-
gine, just out of the repair shop and
fired up in the roundhouse Of the Cen
trail Railroad Of Georgia, exploded with
out warning today, shaking the entire
city. The report was heard seven miles
away, and houses three miles distant felt
the shock. The news instantly spread
that many were killed, and in a few
minutes there had gathered at the gates
hundreds of people, including wives and
children of shop employees, weeping and
clamoring for information. Two ma
chinists and a negro helper were killed,
and ten men quite seriously injured, two
of whom cannot live.
The negro helper was in the cab as
sisting the inspector, John Mcdonald,
who was on top of the engine. They
were blown to atoms. The others were
at some distance from the engine. The
cause Of the accident is not known, the
coroners jury failing to ascertain it. 1t
is supposed, however, that the negro
had found the water in the boiler too
low, and had suddenly injected a stream
Of cold water on the redhot crownshect.
The engine was reduced to fragments,
parts being hurled through the building
200 or 300 yards One piece, weighing 1900
pounds, was thrown $50 yards.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-Comptroller
Ridgeley takes the negative side of the
question amending the national banking
law So as to permit banks to loan money
on real estate. A bill to that effect is to
be introduced in congress and as it's sup
porters are securing the views Of ffnan-
cial men all over the country on the mat
ter, Comptroller Ridgeley's position is
worthy of attention.
Scarcely a day passes that the comp
troller does not have to call the attention
Of bank to the fact that it is violating
the law in accepting real estate as secur-
lty for loans. In many cases the banks
are justified in so doing, for they demand
more security to protect their depositors
and often real estate is all they can OBJ
tain.
There is no doubt that real estate is
good security and furnishes a fine field
for investment" said Mr.. Ridgeley, but
the trouble is it cannot be realized on
soon enough in times Of danger to enable
the bank making the loan to protect its
depositors. 1t is all right for man
to loan his own money on real estate,
but it is a risky business to use depos,
itors' funds in that way. I don't think
the change should be made
