point of death at St. Joseph in

For four minutes he was consid-
cred dead by the physicians, who

piration," said DR.. Corrigan, and
in little while, to our astonish-
ment, succeeded in reviving him.

PLANS EMPIRE
FOR NEGROES
Lebandy Proposes to Draw
His Subjects From The
Southern States.

London, October 6.-The Sc
cret of M. Lebandy's attempt to
found an empire in Africa is out.
The young French millionaire
who is now in London on bust
ness, desires first to obtain the
consent of the Europeans pow
ers who claim to have influence
over the territory on which he
has designs toestablish along the
northwest coast of Africa an en-
pire larger than Rhodsia, to be
entitled the United States of Lii
IBERIA.
Here it is alleged, he proposes
to found state peop1ed by me-
groes from America, especially
from the southern states, who
would receive grants of land and
be encouraged to found a coun-
try of their own. If M. Lebandy
obtains all the territory he desires
he will have country rich in
minerals, india rubber and cof-
fee.

Seaboard. and before morning
was many miles away from the
scene. AS soon as the work had
been completed Attorney J. Ran
ldolph Anderson was commune
Gated with at Eastman, and he
secured an injunction, restrain
ing the Brunswick and Birming-
ham Railroad from putting down
a crossing at Oci11a. The object
IN shipping the crossing itself
away was to insure time in which
to secure this injunction, other
wise the Brunswick and Birming-
ham people had perfect right
to go ahead with the work until
being officially notified that
an order had been issued by the
court restraining them.
AS soon as he had secured the
injunction Attorney Anderson
drove through the country to the
Seaboard Air Line main line
boarded special train and went
to Ocilla. AS soon as he arrived
there he found that Supt. Hale
and the WOrkmen had been ar
rested. Several charges were
lodged against Supt. Hale. One
was a possessory warrant for the
crossing which he had taken up,
and others for fe1oniously taking
up railroad crossing and ma
liciously destroying the property
of others.
After reading the INDUCTION
to the Brunswick and Birming-
ham officials, Supt. Hale gave
bond and was released, and the
'possessory Warrant was dis
missed when the crossing was
carried back to Ocilla and re-
stored to the owner, after it had
been made, useless to them for use
at Ocilla, as the injunction for
babe their putting it down there.
The statement that the Sea-
board had made offers of settle
ment to the Brunswick and Biz
mingham is erroneous. Chief
Engineer Roberts was in the city
yesterday to confer with the Sea-
board officials, seeking satisfac-
tory adjustment of the matter
whereby the Brunswick and Rir-
mingham can peaccably come
into possession of the right to es-
tablish another crossing at Oci1-
la. 1t is probable that permits
sion will be granted for a temper
arY crossing at the point so much
in dispute.
AS soon as Supt. Hale returned
to Savannah he found that busi-
ness necessitated his going to
Hamlet, where he is at present.

outwit the law. Night excur.
sions were arranged that the car.
rying out of certain plans might
not be made to the enemy, and a
great deal of rnaneuvering has
been engaged in by officials OF
the two roads concerned, the
Seaboard AirI Line and the
Brunswick an Birmingham.
Some weeks ago the officials OF
the Brunswick and Birmingham
road made application to the Sea
board officials for permission to
put in another crossing for their
line at Ocilla, forty-nine feet
north Of the Crossing which they
use now, and for which they hold
a contract with the Seaboard.
This application was refused for
several reasons. Ten days ago
officials of the Seaboard were as
founded when they we're inform
ed that during the night previous
crossing had been put in, at
Ocilla forty-nine feet north of the
crossing now used by the Bruins
wick and Birmingham Railroad.
Supt. Hale was notified of the ac-
ton of the Brunswick and Birm-
1ngham officials, and he at once
consulted with Mr.. J. Randolph
Anderson, district attorney for
the road, and it was decided that
the most feasible plan was to
give the Brunswick and Birmine-
ham people dose of their own
medicine.
The following plan was evolved
and successfully carried out:
Supt. Hale was to proceed to Alb
beville, collect a force of men and
go to Ocilla, tear up the crossing
which had been secretly put in
and at once communicate with
Attorney Anderson, who was to
be in Eastman ready to make ap-
plication for an injunction re-
straining the Brunswick and
Birmingham people from putting
in crossing at Ocilla.
The law on railway crossing
is so constructed that one road
already occupying a right of way
can refuse another road the
right to cross its line if sufficient
reason is given, but it cannot
force road to take up a cross
ing once it is in place. Conse-
quently when the Brunswick and
Birmingham crossing was down
it could not be removed by re.
sorting to the courts, but once
up an injunction could be secured
restraining them from putting
another one down.
Supt. Hale reached Abbevil1e
late in the afternoon Thursday.
He at once secured about forty
hands, and proceeded to Ocilla,
ARRIVING there after dark. He
proceeded to work, and the new.
ly put down crossing was soon
taken up, placed on fat-car and
sent out on the main line of the
