TRAINS WATERBOUND;

WaShoutS Cause Many Delays--Splendid Work of |. & N.--Chicago and Evansville Road Prob
 ably Merged Into 1. & N.

company has practically secured con. trolling interest in the Evansville and Terre Haute Railroad and that the roed will be merged into one before long. This belief Is strengthened by> the report that President E. R. Thomas of the Evans yile and Terre Haute confirms the stete- ment that he is to resign hts ofhcs ana that he will retire from the directorate, together with his father, General Samuel Thomas, and H. N. Work, who h on the board in the interest of Thomas.
 The retirment of Mir. Thomas from the Presidency can mean but one thing. and that is that the control of the Evans- vile and Terre Haute. which has been held by the Thomas ipterests for about one year only, has gone into new hands. That the Eastern Illinois Is in control Is shown by the further announcement that the Chicago and Eastern Illinois interests would play . prominent pert tn the new board. Edwin M. Hooley of the Stock Exchange firm of Raiston q Hooiey of New York, 1t h understood, will sue ceed Mir. E. R. Thomas as President. RaIstou and Hooley are said to be ciosefy Identified with H. H. Porter. the prin- cipai owner and chairman of the Board of Directors of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
 The Chicago and Eastern Illinois Ohio River line terminates at Terre Haute, Ind, and to secure an outlet to the ono River at Evansville, where connection is made with the Louisville and Nash ville, 1t has to use the Evansville and Terre Haute. The two roads together make the most direct line between Chfca- 20 and the Ohio River, and In connection with the Louisville and Nashville nave the short line to Nashville and other point. in the South. A strong trafhc agreement has existed between these roads for years. For short timeT about twelve or fifteen years ago. the two roads were united and D. J. Mackey was presi- dent of both. Subsequently dissentions arose and the two lines were again sepa-
 rated and have been ioperated inde7 pendently ever since.
 The opinion Is that the Louisville and Nashville is interested in the new deal and that as soon as the Evansvilie anu Terre Haute and the Chicago and East ern Illinois have been united. the iormer will come to the front as the principal owner of these roads and make them its direct outlet to Chicago. This will onset the acquisition of the Monon by the Southern Railway.
 The Plant had troubles of their own yesterday as we'll as the Mobile ana Montgomery. the difference being that the M. q M. had enough men working on their breaks to have all trains moving by o'clock last night. On the contrary it is not know when the Plant will De Tn shape, and the last report on the train due here at 6:so yesterday evening was that they looked for 1t sometime today
 The Central had washout at Fitspat- rick's Station and all trains had to trans. fer the train due from Macon at 7:4o last night getting in at s:30. The Wes- tern due at s:20 last night was three hours late, but there is no trouble on that road--the same old moth-eaten story. the Southern st Atlanta.

EXPERT IS COMING.
Necessity for Improving Building tc
 Be Investigated.


 Be Investigated.
 government expert is expected here within the next few days to make an investigation of . the condition at the Federal building and to report upon the proposed additions to the building.
 The officials are confident that the gov- ernment agent need only to go through the building to become convinced that the proposed improvements are greatly needed. They are therefore looking for favorable report.
 The special committee of the Con- mercial and Industrial Association which inspected the building closely and en- auired into the needs for better quarters has not as yet filed its report. It Is un- derstood that meeting of the Board of Directors will be called and the report after being made will be sent to Wash ington where it win do most good.
 From all quarters the proposed inn rrovements are receiving endorsement. The undeniable need for the addition Is. however wagng the strongest influence in favor of Congressional action. The government owns ample land in the rear of the present building for an addition.

Miners Flee Just Before Terrlfc
 Explosion Begins.

Ironwood, Mich, Feb. 2.-By mere chance three miners were saved from De- ing blown into bits in the iron belt mine
 They were employed on the night shift and after eating their dinner went into warm drift to smoke. Two boxes or pow der had been placed on the steam pipes and formed convenient seats for two or the miners and the other laid down be, side them. Later the skip tender passed by and was startled to see that the fili- ing of one of the boxes was on ire and that the men were asleep. He hastily alarmed the sleeping men and there was a wild scramble for the shaft, which was just reached when the powder. forty pounds. half dynamite exploded.
 The men were knocked down and bonn barded by flying rocks.
