Fatalities In Southern Railway Wreck.
Washington, Feb. 16.-Further IN
vestigation of the Southern Railway
wreck, which occurred at Ravens
worth, Va, early yesterday morning,
when the New York and Florida ex-
press dashed into an open switch,
confirms the opinion that the catas-
trophe was of malicious origin. Mr..
A. Gordon Jones, superintendent of
the Washington division, says the
track was in perfect shape short
time prior to the wreck, and an in
vestigation afterward showed that the
lock of the switch had been broken
and taken entirely away. He is more
inclined to the belief that some enemy
of the road desired to wreck the train
and that no robbery was intended
Both Engineer John Puryis, of Alex

A GOOD ROAD.

Judge Awtrey Ordinary of Cobb
county who has just completed about
one mile of road, leading OUT of Mari
eta on the Canton road, using largely
convict labor, road machines and rock
crusher, gives as the approximate cost
of all the work $1,000 This is a fine
piece of work, level and macademized
and team going over it will find it
easier The cost per mile of building
good roads in Cobb county is thus as
certained and il extended all over the
county would increase taxation, as it
takes money to have good roads. 1t is
with the people to say what they
want.
Ordinary Awtrey says he will not try
TO work conyicts in the winter time on
the roads, but will hire out the present
conyicts and resume work on the roads
in the spring when the weather is good
and the days longer. The necessary
road work will be done by hired labor
as needed

DEAR MARIETTA"

Alphonse and CASTOR and their friend
Leon have made the American people
laugh ever since Mr.. Opper began pre-
senting them in the Sunday issues of
the New York American and other
papers Whenever trouble comes-and
it does every time--Leon wishes him
self at some choice place of safety.
In the paper of Sunday before last
they were shown as the leaders in a
football game Reaching the ball be-
fore Others of their respective sides
Alphonse and CASTOR began each, in
sisting that the other take the ball first,
While they were trying to Guido each
other in politeness their associates leap
ed upon them and also upon Leon, who
was umpire, and gave them stamping
and punching which put them out of
the game.
As one of the hospital corps was
hauling them away in wheelbarrow
Leon cried, "Take me to that dear
Marietta Georgia"
We can assure Leon, Alphonse and
CASTOR that if they will come to Ma
rietta, Ga, they will receive the choic-
est hospitality and balm for all their
wounds; and as for Mr.. Opper, the
doors of its homes will gladly open for
him. The New York American is ever
welcome with its sterling Democracy

clamoring for their money.
On Saturday last Mr.. Dawson charg-
ed Mr.. Wellons with not accounting for

SEA STORM GOES NORTHEAST.
Centre Passed This Latitude Last Night,
Perhaps 600 Miles Out.

The great cyclone that has been churr-
ing the Atlantic from Block Island to
Georgia for the last several days changed
it's pivot off tho North Carolina coast early
vest erday morning and started northeast
erly, after the manner of orderly, we'll
regulated West Indian hurricanes. At
o'clock last night the Weather Bureau
calcula cd the storm cent re- TO be well of
the New Jersey coast" II was further
away from land than it was on Saturday
night, when the conjecture was that it
might be 500 miles from the North Caro-
lima shore.
AT II o'clock last night the wind, which
had been blowing ftfully from northeast,
will spots of rain, shifted to north. blowing
about twenty-six miles an hour or some
what stronger than during the preceding
several hours The barometer fell in the
two hours ending at II o'clock at night
TO 29SB, O4 of an inch. This indicated
that the storm centre was nearer to New
York, but not nearer to the coast than II
had been. 1t was passing this latitude
possibly 900 miles or more off shore.
Whatever had been holding it of North
travelling northeast last night and will
swish probably with diminished energy

NEWARK BRIDGES WEIGHTED.
Held Down by Freight Trains-The Voyage
Of Jersey Dog.

The food in the Passaic River, at Newark,
Yesterday afternoon, was seven inches
higher than it was at food tide on Satur-
day, when it was three feet higher than
any previous food mark.
The Erie and Pennsylvania railroads
kept heavy freight trains on their Newark
bridges to hold them down and on the Centre
street bridge of the latter road. where the
food was high over the pivot pier of the
draw and within foot Of the Orders.
wrecking derrick was employed in dis
lodging the tmbers and refuse which gath
cred against the upstream ends Of the stone
piers and damned the food to an extent
which threatened the destruction of the
bridge. Hundreds Of cords Of hard wood
were gathered in by men with hooks wire
snares and pike poles.
Shortly after noon yesterday a dog house
with live dog in it floated under the bridge
and passed down the stream at speed
of fifteen miles an hour The frightened
animal was rescued near the Centre street
bridge.
The trolley service is still considerably
disorganized in and out of Newark and
there is grave fear that it will be put out
of action completely by the flooding OF the
boiler rooms of the power house on the
Passaic near Market street bridge.
Porpoises, or herring hogs were seen

Yesterday afternoon eleven bridges
spanned the river between this city and
Weston, while tonight, 1t IL reported here,
but three remain. To-day the river banks
above this city were lined with wreckage'
In some instances whole spans Of the bridges
were washed ashore almost intact. The
bridges reported to have been destroyed
were those at Regesville, Milford. French
town. Ravenrock, Stockton, Lambertvllle,
Washington's Crossing and Yardley. The
only brid ges known to he standing south
of Easton are the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway bridge near Yardley. the CAL
houn street bridge at this city and the two
bridges of the Pennsylvania Railroad in
South Trenton, one Of which is now being
dismantled.
Most of the bridges carried away were
of the old wooden truss variety with COW
cred superstructures. They cost from
$4,000 to sl25,OOO. They were familiar
landmarks to every one who had traversed
the Delaware. They will probably be re-
placed by more modern steel structures.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ll.--A financial trans

In 1890, Senator Mason told Major Sylves-
ter that his house on Chaplin street had been
broken into and robbed of $500 in cash,
considerable silver and jewelry and watch
and chain and charm. The charm con-
tanned a miniature OF a deceased child of
the Senator's and was considered by him as
the most serious Of his losses. He inserted
an advert isement in New York newspaper,

was asked If the offer still held good. The
Senator replied that it did.
