SOUTHERN TO BUILD NEW ROAD
Short Line to Coast From Tennessee
Coal Fields.


Knoxville, Aug. 1S.-Announcement
is made of the Southern railways in.
tention to establish an important line
from Knoxville and the East Tennes-
see coal fields, through the Carolina
mountains and eastern Georgia and
western South Carolina, making a
short line to the coast. The Railway
Age quotes from a letter from Chief
Engineer w. H. Wells, of the Southern,
as follows:
"The extension to Maryyille, Tenn,
on which engineers are now at work,
will be an extension Of our Murphy
branch. beginning at or near Bushnell,
n c.. down the Little Tennessee rtv-
er to Maryville about so miles. The
ultimate intention is when this is fin
ished to push a line through Rabun
Gap into eastern Georgia and weBt.
ern South Carolina, making a short
connection with our line in those states
from the coal fields. We now have
two corps engaged in this work"
Maryville is 16 miles from Knoxville,
and the Southern now has a line be-
tween the two points. It also has
lines from Knoxville into the coal
! fields.

Ensley, Ala, Aug. 1S.-Plans have
been drawn up by the Tennessee Coal
Iron and Railroad company to make
improvements about their Ensley fur
mace plant which will cost something
like $250000. The company will
put in a hosting plant with bins for
the raw material, cheapening the cost
of handling. Raw material will be
brought from the mines and quarries
and dumped right into the bins. From
tue bins the raw material will be
dumped into the little buggies which
will be hoisted to the top of the fur
naces and dumped into them, making
a big saving in labor The work will
be done by degrees, three of the fur
naces to be repaired and refined as
the new hosting machinery is being
placed 1t is figured that enough will
be saved on the labor inside of few
years to pay for the improvement.

Londong, Aug 1S-Russian dispitches
describe a daring attsmtp to assas-
sinate the kaiser and czar together at
Raval, while the two monarchs were
dining together on the kaisers yacht,

A launch bearing five men came
alongside. She looked exactly like
Russian man-of-war launch, and one
of the ruffians wore the uniform of a
Russian officer. while the other four
wore the uniforms of Russian seamen.
In reality they were Russian nihll-
lists bent on assassination.
The man in the officers uniform
boarded the Hohenzolern and inform.
ed the officer of the watch that he be.
longed to the czar's yacht, the Stal-
dart, and had urgent messages for the
czar's immediate perusal. Owing to
the urgency of his commission he ask
ed to be taken to the czar without
delay
AS the officer of the watch started
TO show him below, the captain of the
STANDARD appeared on deck He heard
that one of his officers desired to see
him, and confronted the disguised nj
hilist, who drew pistol and tried to
cover his retreat to the launch, but af.
ter fight was disarmed and arrested.
The four accomplices in the launch
steamed away during the confusion
and evaded the patrol boats, although
they secured the sea all night. The
ring leader confessed his intention
was to kill the two emperors at one
time.

his brother came upon the CHASTITY
spectacle alongside the creek.
1t is supposed that the rash act was
committed some time during the
night. The man had selected place
where one tree had partially blown
over and was leaning against another,
and presumably he had climbed upon
the fallen tree to point which would
leave him suspended higher than the
ground, and attaching the rope to his
neck and the tree, jumped off He
was a rather quiet man and well
thought of by those who knew him.

Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR Some years ago operated float

operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands we're always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. | employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss Of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic and l determined to give the
medicine trial l procured it, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but JohnsOn's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly
