NoRDicA IN A WRECK.
Famous Singer and Her AccOmpa-
 mist Injured In Georgia.

Famous Singer and Her Accompa-
 mist Injured In Georgia.
 ROME, Ga, Jan. 13.-As a result of collision between a passenger train and freight train on the Southern railway at an early morning hour near Reeves Station, twenty miles north of Rome, Mme. Lillian Nordica, the sing CT. was injured; her accompanist, D. Romaine Simmons, sustained bruised hand, an engineer was killed, and three other employees of the road were in jured.
 The train to which Mime. Nordica's s private car was attached was mixed passenger and freight and left Atlanta for Chattanooga. It arrived at Reeves Station at 3:3O o'clock in the morning, where it had orders to meet freight No. 56. A freight train, which proved to be an extra, was on the siding at Reeves when the passenger train arrived, and the engineer of the passenger train, ev- idently assuming that it was No. 55, did not stop, but continued his run to- ward Chattanooga.
 A mile north of Reeves, while going at a rapid rate, the passenger met the freight on a sharp curve. The two en- zines crashed into each other, and En- gineer Tracey in attempting to jump was caught between the two locomo- tives and crushed to death.
 Mime. Nordica's car was attached to the rear of the passenger train. When the collision occurred, Mme Nordica was asleep in the private stateroom of the car. The sudden jar threw her from the bed to the floor. It is under stood that she sustained a badly bruis- ed shoulder, and the muscles of her neck are said to have been strained. Dr. Darlington, the Southern railways s surgeon here, was immediately sum- moned and attended the singer. Dr. Darlington stated that Mime. Nordica was not badly hurt, and he thought she would be able to fill her engage ment tonight.
 MT. Simmons, her accompanist, sus- tained injuries to his right hand. The exact condition of the injured member was not ascertained.

Rnrrlars Shot and Captured.

SAYBROOK, Conn, Jan. 13.-Six burglars broke into the village grocery store early Sunday morning and were discovered by passerby. He went for help and the owner. Daniel Holmes, and, returning to the store, a fight en- sued in which several shots were fired. After two of the burglars were in- jured they surrendered and were lock- ed up. The burglars had already load ed team with merchandise, and there was enough on the sidewalk to fill an- other. They refused to give their names, but from notebooks and cards found in their clothes it is believed that they came from Providence. A man was arrested at the depot who is believed to be confederate. The con- dition of the injured men is not seri- ous. @

WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.
Senate Has Little to Do--House t'
 Pass Pension Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-The sen ate is still without any definite plan of action for the future, and the indica- tions are that the present week will witness q greater display of activity in the committee rooms than in the sen- ate chamber. There are very few mat ters of importance on the calendar, but enough to engage attention for few hours each day until Thursday, when the senate probably will adjourn for the week.
 Among the measures which there will be an effort made to get out of committee during the week are the NJ caragua canal bill, the Philippine tariff bill and the ship subsidy bill. The in dications are that the Nicaragua bill will be reported practically as it pass ed the house and that the shipping bill will not be materially amended, but the Republican leaders have practical ly decided to make a material reduc- ton of the tariff on Philippine imports.
 The really important work of the house of representatives aside from the Nicaragua canal bill is still in the committee stage, so that there is little of importance to be considered during this week. Today the house is consid- ering bills affecting the District of Co lumbia. After that the pension appro- priation bill will be passed. Although this measure carries about $139,OOO,- GOO, it follows the department esti- mates and does not involve any serious issues, so that after brief explanation it's passage usually follows promptly.

seph Francois Garnier, a captain of the French navy and an explorer, born here in 1889, and whose efforts con- tributed largely to obtaining for France her colonial possessions of An nam and Tonquin, where Captain Gar nier was assassinated in 1873 by the Black Flags" The unveiling of this statue was the occasion of a great ova- ton in favor of the French premier and the other ministers.
 A reception of the delegates to the labor and commercial organizations followed.
 In the evening at the prefecture, on the occasion of the banquet offered the French premier by the Republicans Of the department of Loire, NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, replying to a toast of his health, made his great speech, in which he set forth the position of the government in view of the coming gen. eral elections.
 The speech of the premier took the form of review of the policy of the government and the work of the pres ent legislature. The speaker concluded with expressing his firm conviction that the elections would result in a striking victory for the republic and finally overthrow all the forces of re- action.
 NJ. Waldeck- R ousseau began by de- claring that since the formation of his ministry the country had acquired security unknown for a long time pre- vious. He recalled the sweeping Repub- lican victory in the municipal elections and said that the hour for action in stead of defense had seemed to have arrived and that the government sub- mitted programme of reforms He said the adoption of the law of associa- tions had marked a decisive step for ward from the point of view of eco homie development and the guarantees of society. Notwithstanding a predic- ton of agitation, the speaker said, the law of associations had begun to be executed, and it would be carried out in the spirit in which it was conceived, without passion and without weakness.
 Referring to the liquor legislation, which had resulted in a loss to the treasury, the premier said that the transitory decsptions attributed to this law were not too heavy a price to pay for the suppression of the scourge of alcoholism, which threatens the very existence of the race.

BRUGES WAKING UP.
The Ancient City Taking on Modern
Manners.

From the Manchester Guardian.
Something there is very touching in the
faith which inspires the Brugeois in the fu-
ture of their ancient city. For centuries it
has lain, as it were, under some terrible
ban, while all the time its silent mansions
with their rich, fantastic architecture it's
deserted streets, its idle Quays and it's IN
troubled waters have told of glory that is
past At last the spell has broken. 1t is
to be "Bruges In morte' no longer, but
Brages very much awake. Given a revival
Of the old conditions the fortunes of Bru-
ges, once the mart Of Europe, may be re-
paired. The new spirit first made its elf
manifest in an effort to revive local arts
and industries, and the result has been so
far good.
This is not ALL 1t is not forgotten that
at the zenith Of its greatness Bruges was a
great seaport. Largely through neglect the
channel was allowed to silt up, and of
course, the sea retreated. and civil discords
completed the mischief which ended in tho
ruin of Bruges. As the result of the new
movement that has swept over the life of
the province the project was conceived and
begun of restoring communication with the
sea. This is no inconsderabie undertaking
"a ship canal some six or seven miles long
ard wider and deeper than that between
Eastman and Manchester.
The outlet at Heyst is intended as a mort
OF call for fast ocean ships thus relieving
Antwerp of some of its crowded traffic
while Brugos Itself is to become a great
center OF distribution ever the railway sys-
tenn OF Europe. With which the city is con-
nfcted. The sands at the outlet were con-
