Investigation by the officials who are
charged with ascertaining the cause of
the New York tunnel disaster has made
it almost certain that the signal lights
which should have guided the engineer
OF the colliding train were obscured by
smoke and steam. In fact, his case APP
pears SO favorable that he has been ad :
mitted to bail, and has been promised
another position by the company,
which is virtual admission by his
superiors that it was now by his fault
that the accident happened. Then
whose fault was it? He was the only
man arrested and held for trial.

invitation to Prince Henry to visit that
smoky burg when he comes to
America For once proud Atlanta has
been caught mapping, and may miss the
prince altogether. Think ye with what
pride she would have shown him the
manifold sights there;her union depot,
the crematory, the viaduct; she would
have shown him the tame zebu and the
fierce gewhang out at Grants Park;
Initiated him into the mysteries of
Decatur street, rode him on Boss Akin
sons railroad and introduced him to
Mayor Minis while he tanked up at the
Capital City Club. Bob Lowery would
have given him a coach ride, and the

painted in glowing colors the success

might even have met Jim Woodward
and been thrilled with narratives of his
lurid career as mayor. Little HobsQn,
now cotton buyer of Modern Marth-

of the Merrimac, and how afterward he
was kissed into fame. All these honors
and more would have been showered
upon Hen, of Prussia, the brother of

The increase of immigration from
Germany to the United States last year
was caused doubtless by the German
industrial depression. For the same
reason the tide is likely to increase in

emigration by about $4,000, and the
balance had not been on that side of
the account before IN twenty years.
