SHOE FACTORY is
DAMAGED BY FIRE
SHOE FACTORY IN GAINESVILLE,
OWNED BY ATLANTA MEN, is
BADLY DAMAGED SUM-
DAY MORNING.

GAINESVILLE, Ca, March A.-Fire
was discovered at an early hour yesterday
morning in Inman, Smith & Co.'s shoe
factory. in this city. The department was
soon at the scene, but the extremely low
water pressure and the fact that the fire
was In the shoe box room on the third
floor, made 1t extremely difficult to get
IT out. 1t was over an hour before the
flames could be extinguished The loss to
the factory will be about $4,000, fully COW
cred by insurance.
The fire started on the third floor,
which is used almost exclusively for the
manufacture of shoe boxes, and a large
stock of card board and empty boxes
were kept there. The flames, when they
once reached IL, soon spread over the en-
tire floor, and quickly ignited the roof
But for the hard work of the fremen the
entire building would have been destroyed
The offices of the company, on the first
floor, were flooded with water, and the
second floor. which is filled with unwork-
ed leather. was also much wet by the
water from the floor above. The dam
age by water was much more than the
damage by fire.

STORM RIDDEN SHIP
REACHES PORT SAFE

NEW YORK, March 25.-With her coal
and water supply almost exhausted, the
steamer Nord America has arrived here.
She had been forced to put into Bermu-
da on her way from Genoa and Naples,
much to the relief OF her AZ cabin and
1900 steerage passengers who had lived
for DAYS In fear OF disaster.
Among the passengers was Frederick
Taylor, a fellow OF the Royal Geograp phi
cal society, who for the last sixteen
months has been travelling in Borneo, ia
pan, China and Hawaii.
1--WE were but one day out from Naples
when the first storm struck u.s." said
Taylor. 1.-THE heavy sea washed over the
vessels decks. The ship had a small car
go and rolled heavily.
1.-THE immigrants were lounging all over
the decks, exposed to the elements and
mothers with babes in their arms, were
drenched to the skin by the seas, which
kept breaking over the decks.
ION the night Of March IS, the vessel
was able to make small Roadway against
the furious storm. Every sea that struck
the ship shook her from stem to stern
and the crying and wailing of the immi-
grants who were panic stricken, made II
a night of horror for US all.
The captain did his best to calm the
immigrants fears. but It was Of no avail,
and after a consultation of the officers,
II was decided to steer for Bermuda.
When the America reached Hamilton the
coal had run short and the fresh water
had nearly given out"

MYSTERY SHROUDS
DEATH Of FATHER
AND HIS SON
BODIES or RICHARD ALBRIGHT
AND HIS BOY FOUND NEAR
5RUNsWIcK-DEATH IS BE-
LIEVED TO BE ACCIDENTAL.

BRUNSWICK. Ca. March 24.-One OF
the most sensational and mysterious
events that has occurred in this section
in many months came TO light Saturday
in finding near Thalmaun. on the Sea-
board Air Line. OF the drowned body OF
Richard Albrecht, a prominent citizen OF
New Brunswick. N. J. This interest was
augmented yesterday when the body Of
Mr.. Albrecht's son, a bright faced youth
OF about nine years, was recovered at the
same place.
There is a strange story attending the
movements Of the father and son. since
their presence in this section was first
noticed on the 18th instant, and briefly is
as follows:
On the date mentioned the two got on
the southbound Seaboard train at Thai
maun, holding tickets to Brunswick over
the Brunswick and Birmingham Mr.. AL
brecht disclaimed any intention of COM
ing 70 Brunswick, stating to the ticket
agent that when he bought the tickets in
Savannah. he asked for fares TO New
Brunswick. N. J., and the mistake had
caused him no little Inconvenience. He
appeared very disconnected and carried
on at such rate that IL was thought his
mind was not well balanced. Against the
protestations of the agent, Mn Albrecht
and the boy left Thalmaun late in the
afternoon walking in the direction OF
Everett City. II was raining and they
had no umbrellas. Since that time MOTH
Ing was heard of them until Saturday
when the body Of the elder Albrecht was
discovered in the water beneath trestle
about two miles from Thalmaun
A coroner's inquest was held and upon
the person OF the drowned man were cards
which showed him to be the proprietor
OF the Windsor hotel of New Brunswick,
besides a bank book showing several hun
dred dollars to HIS credit, and 1865 in
change was also in his pockets. No bruis-
es or anything else was evident to show
foul play
New Brunswick being notified Of the
hnd!ng, a food of kilograms from the
drowned mans wife and others began
coming in and inquiries about the where
abouts OF the boy were made. This caused
search for his body and II was found
yesterday as stated.
Another strange feature Of the mys-
terry Is that the father held tickets from
Baltimore TO Jacksonville, and his pres
ence at a point short OF the last named
place cannot be accounted for, even
though his story Is to be believed.

IRE Of NORTH.
IS AROUSED
BY BILL
RESOLUTION TO
INVESTIGATE SOUTHERN ELEc-
TIoN LAWS CAUSES BIG
PROTEST.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Business in,
terests of the north have been aroused by
the Crumpacker resolution to Investigate
southern election. laws. Since the 'publica-
ton of the fact that the Republican mem
bers OF the house committee on rules had
voted to report the Crumpacker resolution,
the Republican leaders have been fairly
overwhelmed with letters from the bust
ness men OF the north, protesting against
what they term an attempt to revive the
bloody shirt and Force bill' issue
The letters have been so numerous and
vigorous as to have had an appreciable
effect on certain Republican members. 1t
was stated last night that the committee
on rules will take its own time In report
ing the Crumpacker resolution to the
house, Notwithstanding that the majority
of that committee-Speaker. Henderson.
Representative Dalzell and Grosvenor-a
week ago last Saturday voted to report
the resolution.
Now, II Is claimed, since q number OF
Republicans In private conversation have
freely spoken their mind against the wis
dom Of the resolution, and on top Of this
the threat Of the beet sugar men to vote
with the Democrats against II, the Repub-
lican leaders are in a quandary.
On the other hand. Republicans like Mr..
Crumpacker, who have substantial col
ored vote in their respective districts, are
insistent that the committee on rules give
them an opportunity 70 vote on the Crum-
packer resolution and the opportunity can
not come too soon for them.
Speaking of the Crumpacker resolution,
Representative d. Linn Gooch, of Ken
lucky, who Is one of the most conserva-
tive men in the house, said last evening
that "for once the Republicans have
placed themselves in hole" He said
further: I'VE remember what followed the
force bill legislation of the f1fty-flrst con-
gress-the election OF Democratic house
and two years later the election of Mr..
Cleveland. 1 do not hesitate to say that
in my humble opinion we will elect a
Democratic house this fall and thus pave
the way to carry the presidential election
in 1904. and the Crumpacker resolution
will prove to be worth thousands of votes
to US next November"

NESBITT WRITES LETTER
TO COMMISSIONER STEVENS
NEAR MARIETTA, March IS. 1902.

NEAR MAh1E11At NldECu Los LOVE-
Hon o. B. Stevens, Atlanta. Ga.
AS there are some matters in regard to
the administration of the agricultural de-
partment on which the people of Georgia
should be informed and as your views
and mine in regard, to the duties Of COM
missioner of agriculture differ very wide
", and as we are both candidates for this
office. l. invite you TO. a public Joint dis
cussion of these issues, at such times and
places as we may be able to agree upon.
/ propose TO lay bare your extravaganza
and waste of the people s money, and also
your failure to protect them In. their use
of illuminating oils and offer you this OPP
portunity Of public reply.
In the meantime please answer explicit
ly the following questions in an open let
ter:
How many fertilizer inspectors have you
employed since taking charge of the de-
partment of agriculture? What are their
names, their places of residence, their
terms of service, their salaries and their
travelling expenses? How many have you
on duty now?
q Why have you repeatedly refused to
give this information when requested?
8. AS these inspectors are paid from a
direct tax on fertilizers, and as the sur
plus from this tax. goes to the school
fund of the state, does not each unnec-
essary inspector diminish the school fund
to the amount of his pay?
L. Why in your pamphlet, purporting to
contain the oil law, do you omit most
important section in regard to inspec-
lions in bulk. which reads as follows:
"In all cases where oil is inspected in
bulk, before said oil is put into barrels,
1t shall be the duty of the inspector to
either see the oil so inspected put into bar
rels on which he has put his official brand
or else he shall again take samples from
among the barrels into which said bulk
oil has been unloaded, before he shall
place his official brand upon said barrels.
This section is for the protection of con-
sumers OF oil against frauds and adulter-
ations; why do you not charge your in
spectors with the Importance of its en-
forcement? why do you allow them to test
from the tank car, brand the empty bar
rels and leave them in the hands Of the
oil companies?
s. When you engineered this bill through
the legislature, why did you strike out the
following protective sections of the old
law?
(a) when the oil inspected shall stand
a higher test, the inspector shall designate
the same by his brandt
Cb) inspectors shall inspect from time
to time oil in the tanks of retail dealers,
whether previously inspected or not, and
If the fluid is below the standard, the same
shall be seized, etc, etc"
was in the senate when this bill was
under consideration, and know its history.
You remember that through mutual friends
you sought my support of this measure,
and as a final argument I was told that
one of my best friends would receive the
position 4 state oil inspector If the bill
became a law My reply was that I would
not vote for the bill If my own son was
to be benefited by it. Yours truly,
r. T. NESBITT.
