ages Are Claimed.
Noted Engineers Have Expresst
ed Belief That the Plan
Is Feasible.

New York, Jan. 15.-Plans for new
ship canal will be presented next
Thursday before the senate committee
on canals by Gen. Edward w. Serrel,
for the American Isthmus Canal Com
pany and the Isthmus Company. both
corporations OF New Jersey The
route for the canal proposed is from
Gulg San Bias to the Pacific Ocean
behind Pearl Islands, called the Man
digo route. It is proposed that the
company will build the work under
supervision and protection of the gov
ernment without any cost to the Unit
ed States, which will be asked to guar
antee the bonds of the company. The
company propose that the government
have use of the canal free of charge
for all government vessels and If at
any time company does not do as
agreed the government shall take pos
session of the canal. The company as
serts 1t has the right of way. The
route is less than thirty miles long
and therefore shorter than any other
proposed. No engineering difficulties
are encountered, 1ts supporters say,
until the spur of the Andes is reached,
which must be pierced by tunnel
seven miles long. two hundred feet
high and $50 feet deep. which will be
cut thru solid granite, a trolley APP
pliance would tow the ships. r. p.
Rothwell. ex-president of the society
Of Mining Engineers, editor mining
journal, thought the scheme entirely
feasible and was heartily in sympathy
with it at the time of his death.

ENGINEER WENT Daft
j. E. Sible Jumps From Cab Of
Swiftly Moving Wabash
Engine.
His Mind Had Become overbaT,
anced From Ponderine Over
Recent Wrecks.
Fast Train Comes to Sudden
Standstill-.Sible Was Fa-
tally Injured.

Peru, Ind, Jan. 15.-Danger which
really existed only in a mind over
wrought by dwelling on recent railroad
wrecks last night brought fatal injuries
to j. e. Sible, an old and trusted engi-
neer on the Wabash railroad The fast
limited was laundering along at the rate
Of forty miles an hour when the lights
oe the town of Attica appeared. The
track was clear and the signal lights at
the switch showed an unobstructed
gath. Suddenly the old engineer gave
START and shouted to his fireman, Jump
for your life! The Burt switch is turned
and We'll crash into" The sentence
was not finished, for in an instant Sible
had applied safety brake, reversed the
lever and had leaped to escape the spec
tire his harasssd nerves had conjured up.
The fireman followed, but was not In
jured. The train came to stop and
Frick went back to find the engineer.
The latter lay on the roadbed, his skull
crushed, arm and leg broken, ribs frac-
tured and spine injured. Investigation
showed there had been no danger to the
train. Sible was brought to the hospi-
tai here, where he managed to gasp out
his story. According to Fireman Frick,, {
UP to the time Of the wreck at Lafay-
cite some months ago Sible had been
man Of absolutely perfect nerves. Sible
was in that wreck and ever since he had
been possessed of ceaseless fear OF fur
thcr trouble. News Of collisions in any
part Of the country added to his depres-
sion. Last night, apparently, his wor-
rying came to climax in a haliucina-
tion which physicians say will cause MS
death He thought the switch had been
turned and that he would crash into
train on the siding. The passengers were
shaken up by the sudden stopping OF the
train, but none were injured.

coming tour and refusing them only
when he must; dining, sometimes
wining, and always the same frank.
winning, popular guest of Savannah,
IT is easy to see Rear Admiral Schley
is ENJOYING himself In this quaint old
southern city. He said quite as much
yesterday.
.At the same time" he remarked
1t which prompted Grant on one oc-
casion to tap his host on the arm ana
say, under his breath: Say, John. this
is fine; but, say, haven't you got soIle
bacon and cabbage?
This may be one of the complaints
of the soldier that is characteristic"
he added There are so many oc-
casions when the soldier is compelled
to put up with so little in uncomplain-
ing attitude, that the horn OF plenty
is inclined to stagger him.
Yesterday was especially pleasant
for the real admiral because of Wis
it from his eldest son, Captain Il. r.
Schley of the Twenty-third infantry,
stationed at Fort Mcpherson. Ca
Father and son had not met before
for more than two years, and the fact
that Mrs. Schley is on this southern
visit has made the Captains visit
something of a family reunion. Cap.
tain Schley came only yesterday
morning and returned last night, hav-
ing been guest of the Gordons while
here.
The one incident of yesterday was
the visit which the rear admiral, ac-
companied by General Gordon, paid to
the Georgia Industrial College, just
outside the city. The visitors were
shown thru this school by Professor
Wright, who called attention to the
fact that the buildings on the grounds
had been built by the colored pupils
who now number about 400 of both
sexes.
The college band made music for the
occasion, and Rear Admiral Schley
called upon for a speech, made talk
that brought continued applause. Some
weird negro singing preceded this
speech, and before the rear admiral

pie of the state than these sisters, which
is practically demonstrated by the work
they have done at Dubuque, Council

that one of the earliest bills will be one
