WEALTHY GERMANS.
Herr Krupp Is the Richest Man in
the Empire-Statistics OF
Wealthy Glasses.

Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE richest man in
Germany is Herr Krupp. According to
the income tax returns he has an in
come of between 10000, 900 and 81, O0O,-
900 marks a year. No one approaches
him in wealth. He stands in a class

classes between Herr Krupp and the
next richest man in Germany. The
identity of the second wealthiest man
in the empire who has yearly income
of between 100000 and 5000, 600, is not
quite clear, although he is supposed to
be the coal master, Herr Won Thie!e-
Winckler. The income tax returns
show 65 incomes of more than 1000, 900
marks per year. Ten of these incomes
are under 1000, 900, two are under
100000 and three are under 5,OOO,-

further that 2,774 persons have year.

WRECK IN GEORGIA.
Collision Between Trains Occurs
Near Rome.

Rome, Ca, Jan. 13.--As a result of
a collision between passenger and q
freight on the Southern railway at an
early hour Sunday morning near
Reeves Station, 20 miles north Of
Rome, Nine. Lillian Nordica, the
singer, was injured, her accompanist,
L. Romano Simmons, sustained a
bruised hand, Engineer Tracey was
killed and three other employees of
the road were injured.
The train to which Nine. Nordica's
private car, the Brunnehilde, was att
tached was mixed passenger and
freight, and left Atlanta at 1880 Sat-
urday night for Chattanooga, 1t ar
rived at Reeves Station at $3.50 in the
morning, where it had orders to meet
freight No. IS. A freight train, which
proved to be an extra, was on the sid
ing at Reeves when the passenger ar
rived, and the engineer of the passen-
ger, evidently assuming that it was
No. SIS, did not stop, but continued
his run towards Chattanooga.
A mile north of Reeves, while going
at a rapid rate, the passenger met the
freight on sharp curve. The two
engines crashed into each other, and
Engineer Tracey in attempting to
jump was caught between the two To-
comotives and crushed to death.
Not BADLY Hurt.
Nine. Nordica's car was attached to
the rear of the passenger train. She
sang in Atlanta Saturday night and
was on her way to Nashville, where
she is booked to fill an engagement
tonight. When the collision occurred
Mime. Nordica was asleep in her bed
in the private stateroom of the car.
The sudden jar threw the diva from
her bed to the floor. 1t is understood
that she sustained a badly bruised
shoulder and the muscles of her neck
are said to have been strained. DR.
Darlington, the Southern railways
surgeon here, was Immediately sum
moned and attended the singer. DIR.
Darlington stated that Nine. Nordica
was not badly hurt and that he
thought she would be able to fill her
engagement tonight. Mr.. Simmons,
her accompanist, sustained injuries to
his right hand. The exact condition
of the injured member was not as
certained here, but it is understood
that he will be able to play tonight.
Both engines were badly wrecked and
IL cars, it is said, were burned. The
engineer and fireman of the freight
escaped by jumping, but both were
badly bruised. The tracks were
cleared by night and traffic resumed.

WARSHIPS TO VENEZUELA.
United States TO Have Strong Force
Ready in Case of CnEtrO'A
Downfall.

Washington, Jan. lit is prob
able that Admiral Higginson, with
his flagship Kearsarge, and several
other vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron, will shortly repair to
Venezuelan waters, making his head
quarters at La Guaira. The ships
which Admiral Higginson will take
with him on this cruise will have an
unusually large complement of ma
rines aboard. These precautions are
taken, not with any offensive intent
towards Venezuela, but merely to
guard against an outbreak of an
archy and rioting in the event that
the revolutionists should prevail over
Castro's forces in the field. Owing
to Admiral Higginson's high rank he
naturally would command any joint
operations that might be incident to
the landing of naval forces of vari-
Gus nationalities.

LEMON JUICE TREATMENT.
Dr Lederle of New York Says Physi-

New York, Dec 31.-Dr Ernest G. Lederle, president of the health de partment, referring to the discovery said to have been made recently in England that lemon juice would kill typhoid germs in water, and to have been proved by experiments in Chicago, says he knows these experiments have been tried often before and that many physicians treat their typhoid patients with lemon juice.
 pr W. H. Billings, a bacteriologist of the department, said: T have not made any experiments myself, but l am sure that lemon juice in water will kill germs if enough is used. Orange juice will do the same thing, and. in fact, We have been feeding patients that right along. There is nothing new in this discovery of lemon juice. It takes more orange juice than lemon juice, because the former has not so much citric acid in it, and yet it is 3 powerful neutralizer. There is no doubt that acid will kill typhoid germs"

HE SHELL F|SH REPORT
Balance to Credit of State Doub- le That of Previous Years.

The Receipts From the Licensing of Boats Have Diminished-The Sale
 of Oyster Lands During the Year Amounted to Only About 500 Acres. Hartford, Dec 31.-The report of the state shell fish commission submitted to the governor to-day shows that the collections for the year ending Septem- Der 30, 1902, amounted to $9,24256, while the expenses were $5, 5,672.14, leaving balance to the state of s. 57O.42, which is more than double that of the previous year. Receipts from boat licenses have diminished the pro- portion allowed by law for the buoy ing of the natural oyster beds, so that the commission has been compelled to apply for special appropriation. Only about 800 acres of new oyster ground has been sold by the state this year, while 523.4 acres have been re- covered for arrears of taxes through the operation of the special law. Un- doubtedly, says the report, the failure of the set for three successive years has done much to discourage the talk ing up of new grounds, but there is no doubt that most of the available grounds now in the hands of the com mission will be called for upon the re- turn of reasonably favorable condi- tions.
 In discussing conditions in Rhode Island waters, the report al1udes to the fact that the commissioners of that state estimate the income to the state for 1903 at S45 0OO a# &@s @EsY%4&4.7 x
 An appropriation by the state suffi- clent to cover the expense of an ade- quate exhibition of the oyster indus. try at the St Louis exposition is recom- mended. The commission says the general oyster business aside from the work on the natural beds and the seed business, is fairly good, with an act i've demand for opened oysters, which is. one of the most prominent forms of the oyster business of the state The failure of, the annual oyster set and the practical ceasing of work on the great public beds is spoken of in the report as particularly discouraging to the workers in view of the two prev ious poor years. Many who have work ed the natural beds during the present season have not always made day wages azs
