Indicted the Wrong Men.

Boston TranscrIpt.
 It is hardly surprising that the press and public of New York have experl- the grand jury in the case of the coili- sion in the Park Avenue tunnel. The green engineer who was running the en- zine that telescoped the other train Is again arrested and indicted for man slaughter Neither the railroad company nor any oficial, responsible for placing him in that important position, sets so much as a reprimand. This is the third shocking demonstration of the tunnels peril, but what is worse it shows that neither of the previous ones has led up to increased precautions and better safe guards of the public. It was admitted that engineers under certain conditions there had to grope their way, and be- cause a man new to the business failed as "groper" he is made the scapegoat and those who in the large sense are re- sponsible go free.

FOR HOME INDUSTRIES
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
 ASSOCIATION
Will Work For City-Improvements on Federal Building-Next Meeting March 11-Prom-
 inent Visitors.

The Commercial and Industrial Associ- ation holds It's March meeting on Tues day night next, the 1lth inst. It will be the regular monthly meeting of the as. sociation and several, matters of interest and benefit to the city will come up Tor discussion and action by the members.
 The Committee on Public Policy has formulated its report upon the condition ment building here, and 1t will be for mally presented to the association that night for Its consideration. The recom- mendations will probably be endorsed by the association, as 1t Is understood they have gone into the situation very careful- ly. They will have some other important matters upon which to ask acton py the association. Many other committees VIII bring up matters of interest and alto gether a valuable meeting for the city will take place.
 Committee on Manufacturing. 4
 The Committee on Manufacturing of the Commercial and Industrial Associa- ton held an interesting session Friday afternoon. at which time preliminary propositions were discussed looking to the location here of several different fac tories. The committee appointed various sub-committees to handle the different propositions and to report at future meeting the result of their investigation and deliberations.
 The Secretary of the Commercial and Industrial Association is sending out in Quiries to the members looking to se- curing a list of those who will agree to patronize home industries in future. A circular letter explains the reason Tor the movement and it's importance to the well fare of any con6nunity. In It is enclosed a postal card on which Is printed the fol- lowing agreement to be signed by every member of the association:
 Tn order to encourage the manufactur- ing enterprises already established at Montgomery and to stimulate the loca- ton of others, the undersigned agrees in future to patronize Montgomery factories and call for Montgomery made goods Tn every case, price and quality of goods being equal" are all in, an alphabetical list or the names will be made up and sent 10 ev- cry one of the signers, also to all the factories for preservation and use in the future.
 It is good sometimes to learn of the difficulties other places have along the same line as Montgomery. and to realize that this is not the only city suffering from a lack of home patronage. In Pen- sacola recently a broker from Atlanta sold their jobbing houses several large orders for goods made right in that city, billing it out from Atlanta, but sending the goods a few blocks across the town of Pensacola on dray.

 The Advertiser yesterday got to the bottom of the St. Joe railroad story. and the story is vouched for by a gentleman from Florida who was the informant of The Advertiser.
 This gentleman says that the Louisville and Nashville has bought out the road and down near Graceville. Fla. they are tearing up the part of the track that has been laid. Near Graceviile is where the Geneva extension of the l.. and N will join tho Pensacola division of that road. Now the St. Joe route would parallel the Geneva extension of the l.. and N. and for fear of the former road getting business away from them the L. and N. got rid of them by buying them up.
 This gentlenan also said that at River Junction the L. and N. will get into Jacksonville and other Florida points over the Plant Systems line from the former place.

Close under the drowning. walls of the grim fortress which was his prison. be- meath the shifting sands of Sullivan's Island. Is the resting place of the unfor- tunate Seminole, who was. ensnared by 4reachery of the grossest character. He was captured while under the protection of the flag of truce. brought to Fort Moultrie and imprisoned. The proud war. rior brooked confinement but for a short time. and his wild spirit soon fretted its way to freedom. It is black page of American history. which can be read only with shame. The grave is enclosed by an iron rafting and broken marbls slab bears the pathetic inscription:
 .'Osceo1a,
 Patriot and Warrior.
 Died in Fort Moultrie. 1s36"
 His portrait hangs in the historical sec ton of the Woman's Building at thu Charleston Exposition; an eagle face. thir and care-worn. with eyes that gaze afar. One can imagine that so he looked in Moultrie's walls as his thoughts travel ed back to the dim fastnesses of his Florida swamps. his decimated band and futile aspirations.
