FRANCE is DUBIOUS.
Not Disposed to Accept Porte's Assur.
ance Regarding Mobilization.

Paris, Feb. 10.-The officials here
are not disposed to accept the porte's
assurance that Turkey has no inten.
ton of mobilizing a large force of
troops. When the Turkish denial
was brought to the attention of the
0 cials here who have access to the
governments sources of information.
the following reply was made.
We have received similar pacific
assurances from Turkish sources. but
our own information is positive and
specific that orders for the mobiliza-
ton have been actually issued. This
was three days ago, and we are un.
able to say whether the execution of
the orders are withheld in view of the
effect they have produced among the
powers who are seeking to enforce re.
forms in the Balkans. Our adyices
further show mat the mobilization
would effect 1000 troops
The French governments policy an.
pears to be shaping on it's own adyices
without reference to the qufetfng

RIVER GIVES UP BODY.
Remains of Woman Who Disappeared
In November Found.

Augusta. Ga, Feb. 1O.-The river
went to 33 feet and 2 inches and re-
mained at a standstill most of Mon
day. 1t began slowly falling In the
afternoon. The water on upper Jones
Reynolds and Market streets, near the
river, attracted many spectators all
day. Some Of the negroes and deni-
zens Of the Tenderloin were surround
ed by water and had to use batteaux
for a short distance to get from their
doors to the higher streets.
In one Of the undertaking establish
ments are the remains of Mrs. Mary
Mcdonald, aged 65 years. She dis
appeared from the home, 800 Elbert
street, in which she lived the day
following Thanksgiving day and no
trace Of her has since been found.
About sundown yesterday evening
some men standing on the bridge,
looking at the river, discovered an
object floating going down the swift
rushing waters that looked like q wo.
man.
Hastily procuring boat they set in
pursuit, and q mile or two down tkxss
river below the city caught up with
what proved to be the badly decom-
posed remains of a gray-haired wo-
man. It was impossible to paddle
back up the swollen stream, and they
were some hours in getting their find
back to town.
The remains were identified as
those of Mrs. Mcdonald. The pre-
sumption Is that she was drowned
last November and the body caught
under roots or overhanging limbs and
held under water until released by the
swift and swollen stream of today.

SOUTHERN ROAD HAS
HEAD-ON COLLISION
Passenger and Freight Crash
Near Jackson, Ga.
MANY PASSENGERS INJURED.
misunderstanding by Crews of Both
Trains Seems to Have Been the
Cause of the Accident-None of the
Passengers Were Fatally Injured.

Atlanta. Feb. 10.-Advices received
here state that a head4in collision oc-
Cured on the Southern railway about
mile south of Jackson, Ca. late yes
terday afternoon, in which IA persons
were more or less seriously injured,
among the number being several resi-
dents of Atlanta.
The trains which came together
were passenger train No. 19, drawn
by engine 343, which left Atlanta at
4:30 p. M, and the first section of
freight train No. 81, drawn by engine
No 256, which left Macon during the
afternoon
Those who suffered injuries are:
Will Smith, a negro of Cork, Ca
hurt in the breast; George Mitchell,
negro employe, Macon, cut in the
face and hurt in the chest; J. w.
Hutchins, white passenger, Atlanta,
knee and hand hurt; G. F. Elliott,
white passenger, Atlanta, shoulder in
jured; Adams Alzringer, white passen-
ger, Louisville, KY, back and head
injured Miss S. G.. Kennan, white
jured; w. D. Jones, white passenger,
Dallas, Tex, wounded in the knee;
George H. Edwards, white passenger.
Dallas, Tex, injured in neck and
shoulder; Miss Mamie White, Sum-
meryille, nose and race cut. Miss
White is probably the most seriously
injured of the IA passengers. S. H.
Taylor, white passenger, Macon, Ga,
sprained shoulder and a tooth knock
ed out; J. l. Mitchell, white passenger.
Macon, Ca, back injured and head
cut; ]. I. Birdsong, white passenger,
Macon, Ga, bruised about the face.
Engineer Liddell, of Atlanta, is injur-
ed in the back, his back being badly
sprained; Conductor Sloan, of Macon,
was cut about the head, and his shoul-
ders were sprained.
1t is said the collision must be
charged up to the crew manning the
freight train. At the first station
north of Jackson, where it had orders
to meet the passenger train, it wait
ed time and then pulled out for Jack
son, the engineer and the conductor
believing they could make the run In
safety.
The passenger train had the right
of way, and was on time at Jackson.
Believing the track to be clear, the en-
gineer opened his throttle and was
picking up speed when he observed
the headlight moving toward him.
He knew at once that it was the
first section of 81, which he expected
to pass at the next station. He re.
versed his engine and applied his
brakes, as also did the engineer of
the freight when he discovered the ap.
preaching passenger train.
Both trains rapidly decreased in
speed, but they were too close to each
other to avoid the collision.
The engines were badly wrecked,
but the greatest damage done was to
the passenger train. The first-class
coach was especially wrecked, and 1t
was in this that most of the passen.
gers who were injured were riding.
The track was blocked for an hour,
but wrecking crews sent from both
ends of the road met at the point and
cleared the obstruction, and trains are
now running as usual.
The injured passengers were car.
ried to Macon, Jackson and Atlanta.
