concerning that city and it's railroad
facilities: This, the finest railroad
station in the United States, is put

visit of Prince Henry, March 3. The
depot is large and beautiful and has
many fine appointments; but with 23
railroads emptying their crowds into
it, it is doubtful if it will prove salts

ALABAMA is POWERLESS.
The Law in That State Can't Stop
the Proposed Merger.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. John "
Smith, president of the Railroad Com
mission of Alabama, in the course Of
an interview to-day on the state law
affecting the rumored consolidation of
the Louisville and Nashville and
Southern railroads, said:
AS to the law of Alabama with ref
erence to the reported plans of con-
solidation, there is nothing in our new
constitution or in statutes which pro-
hibits such a consolidation in this state.
Section 1853 of the code confers upon
corporations the following powers:
ITO consolidate with any railroad
corporation now existing or which
may hereafter be organized under the
laws of this state, in the mode and I'M
der the conditions and terms herein
prescribed
Section 1166 of the code provides the
manner of such consolidation and
carefully guards the rights of the
stockholders and all other parties in
terested in such consolidation, but
find no statute which prevents it, not
outstanding it may be of parallel and
competing lines. This may, however, be

HOW THE MINE WAS FIRED.
Fire Companies shot mt as They
Rushed to the Scene.

Roanoke, Va, Sept. "A special
from Bluefield to the Roanoke Times
tonight says:
The West mine of the Southwest
collieries at Pocahontas was set on fire
by unknown parties at o'clock this
morning. They broke the lock on the
door of the Beartown entrance and
carried in lot of old lumber to a
point about 200 feet from the entrance.
This lumber was fred about O'Clock
this morning, and when the fire was
discovered an alarm was given.
The flames had gained considerable
Roadway and the work of extinguish-
ing them was etremely difficult. Ali
the men that could be worked to adj
vantage were enlisted. There was no
loss of life or personal injury to any
one of the employees. as yet heard of.
1t is believed that some of the strikers
set the mine or fire.
This was one of the mines where the
explosion occurred last November, and
great fear is being felt that if the
flames are not soon extinguished the
accumulation of gas will cause an
other explosion. A late report says
that the fire companies. while rushing
to the scene of the fire, were shot at
several times from ambush by stri-
kers, but no one was hit. The party
is still in the woods and an effort will
be made to arrest them.

New London, Conn, Sept. 2.-The
defending forces in New London are
tonight on the alert and awaiting an
attack by the navy At midnight TO
decisive move had been made by the
fleet under Admiral Higginson. At
that hour Gen. Macarthur left his
headquarters and boarded his yacht
for the night, leaving Maj. Harrison
in charge.
line impression prevails here that
newport is the point which will be
next attacked, although the presence
OF three vessels, supposed to be bat
tlesh1ps, at Gardeners Bay, causes
considerable uneasiness. They can be
seen plainly from Fort Wright, and
the searchlights are kept on them con-
tinually.
The defending force is all at sea
in regard to the next move to be made
by Admiral Higginston, and every pos
sible precaution has been taken to
guard against a surprise. Early in
the evening it was feared that an
attack would be made on headquar-
ters. This is hardly to be expected
however, for the weather conditions are
against the navy, and it is believed
to be impossible for them to safely
reach point at which they could land
enough men to overpower the defen-
ders without being observed.

The defendants are charged with vio-

question has been raised that was not

1t is said that the coal companies
on New river were named as parties

the court jurisdiction; that the inter

other side; that a court of equity
would put them on the plaintiffs side,

destroyed and the case would have to

piled the Torch.
Bramwell, w. Va. Sept. 2.-The
great mines of the Pocahontas Colliery
Company are on fire. Strikers are OIL
legged to have applied the torch to va
rious portions of the mine near the
west entrance, which is on the Virginia
side, and the mine began burning furi-
ously.
The guards and strikers fired volley
after volley at each other. The Gov
ernor of Virginia has been appealed 70
to send troops to Pocahontas at once.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon officials
Of the Pocahontas Colliery Company
claim that the fire in their leading
mine is practically under control, and
they apprehend but little more dam
age.
Three strikers are reported injured
the result of the conflict with guards
soon after the fire was discovered The
mine in which the fire is
in progress is known as the
Baby mine, and is the same
one in which twenty miners
and a number of officials lost their
lives several months ago. and the
same place where 200 miners lost their
lives twelve years ago. 1t is the largest
on the line of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad, and has four main en-
frances. Every entrance is now being
heavily guarded.
Mine officials expect the Governors
of Virginia and West Virginia to COM

Bramwell, W. Va. Sept. 2.-The sit

tremely critical. and the skirmish be-
tween the strikers and the guards at
the Pocahontas Galleries Company
mines to-day, after the firing of the
mines by the strikers, has greatly en-
ragged the miners from the fact that
several of their side were severely in
jured.
Adjt. Gen. Baker. who has been in
over the territory, left at midnight
last night for other fields, informing
the operators before he left. however,
that he thought the presence of the
militia unnecessary at that time. The
outbreak of to-day will probably
change his opinion, and ii is thought
here that before tomorrow night
troops will be either in the Flat Top
region or. on their way there.
The Pocahontac Galleries Company
has the fire in it's mine practically
extinguished tonight. but has doubled
its force of guards, an another attack
is feared any hour. Many shots have
