cries, and they are reporting even
sales to the farmrs of Hat
tiesburg and surroundingcountry, large
orders being placed with them almost
daily.
This section is rapidly becoming
recognized as being particularly we'll
adapted to fruit growing and truck
farming, and farmers are turning
their attention to diversified farming
more than ever was the case before.
always with the most encouraging re-
suits. A canning factory will be
placed in operation in this place in
time to can the product of next sea-
sons crops, and the farmers are pre-
pairing to take advantage of this fact
and the fertility of the soil to raise
Unprecedented amounts of fruits, veg
etables, etc.
In few years time there can be
no doubt that Hattiesburg will be a
fruit and produce center, from which
the markets of south Mississippi will
be to large extent supplied. The
farmers are becoming aware of the
advantages which truck farming offers
and the merchants have already rec
ognized the fact that to them it il
one of the most profitable stocks
All that is now necessary is for th,
farmers to exert themselves in this di
rection, and it will not be many year
before a new sock will have to b.
purchased in which TO keep thei
surplus money.

which two men scored, did excellent

capped from the state prison farm in
Rankin county Tuesday afternoon, is
still at large, but the prison officials
are not worrying over his absence,
feeling confident that he will either
voluntarily return OF be captured
within few weeks. Ii is presumed
that Story was prompted to leave the
farm by yearning to see his family
in Alfalfa county. This is the fifth
time he has escaped from the prison
since 1892, and he has been engaged
for nearly twelve years serving ten
year sentence. AT present the famous

Department OF Panama have with
drawn from the sessions of the Colon
bian Congress, Tomas Herran, the act
ing minister of Colombia here, to-day
telegraphed to the Governor of Panama
for information on the subject.
Dr. Herran discredits the report, as
the advices from his government have
given no information Of such action.
The three senators from Panama, with
one exception, and he was bitterly OPP
posed to the treaty, and the six MEM
bers OF the House of representatives
have assiduously worked for the rati-
cation of the treaty. Their defect on

TROLLEY CARS MET
IN FATAL COLLISION.
-Four Persons Were Killed and
Nineteen Injured.

Pelham, N. H.. Sept. 6.-Through a
head-on collision to-day between two
electric cars on the New Hampshire
Traction Company's line, each run
Ming it is said, at rate of more than
twenty-five miles an hour four per-
sons were killed and nineteen so Sc
riously injured that they are under
physicians care, and several of these
are expected to die.
As there were seventy passengers
on the two cars, many others received
cuts and minor wounds which did not
prevent their going to their homes.
The accident occurred on the line
which runs through this town. between
Lowell and Nachua, and one of the
cars, which was coming from the lat
ter city, was nearly filled with people
on their way to a summer resort.
The collision was due, according to
the officials of the road, to a misun-
Outstanding of the starters orders by
the motorman of the car bound for
Nashua. The car starter endeavored to
rectify this mistake by sending a man
to shut off the power and trying to
recall the Nashua bound car, but it
failed.
The accident occurred on a curve,
on either side of which were long
stretches of straight track The dead,
as reported up to 10 o'clock tonight,
were as follows;
Charles II. Gilbert so years, Nashua.
Gabriel Collett, rs years, Nashua, N.
H.
George c. Andrews. Sc years, post
master, Hudson. N. H.
Samuel Mayes, motorman on the
Nashua car, Hudson. N H.
The cars met on the curve on a down
grade, neither motorman seeing the APP
preaching car until too late to avoid
a collision.
Neither was there time for the pas
| sengers to escape by jumping when the
cars came together with a force that
threw the westbou1d car directly upon
the forward part of the other crushing
the top of the car down upon the pas
sengers, and pinion ing those occupying
the first three seats in the wreckage.
No one of the passengers on the two
cars escaped injury of some character,
| although a number were not seriously
| hurt.

Indictments Are Returned Against
Contractor and Commissioners.
Washington, Sept. ga telegram to
Secretary Hitchcock from United
States District Attorney Horace Speed,
of Oklohoma, says the United States
Grand Jury has found three indict-
ments against Contractor Stokes and
the three county commissioners for
Kiowa county, for making false vouch-
ers and false certificates for the pur-
pose of defrauding the government in
connection with the building of bridges.
Stokes is under arrest and his bond
has been fixed at $4,000. The three in
dicted county commissioners, it is stat
ed, have fled the country
This action has been taken at the in
stance of Secretary Hitchcock as the
result of an investigation instituted by
him several months ago which revealed
the fact that gross frauds had been
practiced in Oklahoma in connection
with contracts for bridges, roads and
buildings in the three counties opened
for settlement two years ago. Secre-
tary Hitchcock held up all bills until
he could have an investigation, and the
present indictments are the result

OFFERED A LEGATION
To Get Him Out of the Presidential
Campaign.


Panama. Colombia, Sept. 6.-Gen.
Fernandinez, who was spoken Of some
time ago as a possible presidential
candidate, has been offered a Euro
pean legation. 1t is believed that the
government is anxious to send him out
of the country and thus keep him out
of the presidential contest.
Advices received here from Bogota
say that a stormy session was recently
held in the House of Representatives
when the scandalous proceedings aris-
ing out of the cratic conduct of Gen.
The representatives for the Depart
ment of Panama complained bitterly
that the isthmus was being exploited
as a colony, and that all the high off,
Gals were appointed from other de-
partments, RICARDO Arrange being the
only governor appointed from the 18TH
mus since 1885.
1t is believed here that it was the
fear of a secession movement which
led to the appointment of Senior Obal-
dia as Governor of Panama, with, it
is understood, authority to negotiate
in the canal question.
Gen. Carria. who has been appointed
military governor of Panama, is an
isthmian at heart, having lived twen-
ty years in Panama. Both Gov. Obal-
dia and Gen. Sarria are ardent parti-
sans of the canal and friends of the
United States.

Sultan Himself Reviewed Two New
Hussar Regiments.
London, Sept Especial dispatches
from Constantinople, published here
this morning, all concur in the gravity
of the situation and state that the war
like feeling has been increased by the
fact that the Sultan last Friday re-
viewed and presented colors to two new
Hussar regiment, recruited from the
tribes which produced the Ottoman
dynasty, this being the first time that
the Sultan has presided at such a cere-
mony.
The Turkish papers are making patri-
otto appeals to the loyalty and devo-
ton of the nation.
1t is stated that an internal machine
was found in the baggage of a Bulgar-
ian passenger on the Greek steamer
Margarita, bound from Burgas to the
Piraeus. The machine was thrown
overheard and the passenger arrested.
A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle
from COnstantinople says the military
party is clamOring for war. but the
Sultan still hesitates. Nevertheless,
troops are being massed along the
frontier in readiness to take the field.
On the Sultan'S fete day it trans
pires that the "Mangas" clubs, COM
posed of the lowest elements of the
Turkish population, had made an or
ganized preparation TO massacre the
Christians, all the members being pro-
vided with a uniform pattern of cud-
gels, as was done at the time of the
Armenian massacre in Constantinople.
1t is supposed that the "Mangas" were
overawed by the military precautions,
and nothing happened.
1t is announced at Cettinje, Monte
negro, that the Montenegrin foreign
minister, M. Vukovitch, has started for
Constantinople.
A Varna dispatch to the Times says
inquiry shows that some members of a
Macedonian band, with their baggage
and ammunition, were aboard the
steamer Vaskapu, and this circum-
stance seems to indicate that the ex-
plosion was accidental.

WRECK OF THE VASKAPU.
Conflicting Stories as to the Cause
of the Explosions.

of the Explosions.
Constantinople, Sept. 6.-The survi-
Vors of the Hungarian steamer Vaska-
pu, which was destroyed in the Black
Sea, Sept. l, by explosion, attributed
them to the Bulgarian revolutionists,
while others from Varna, Bulgaria, to
Constantinople, state that two explo-
sions occurred on board the steamer
at o'clock last Tuesday morning.
Two dynamite bombs were thrown by
men, supposed to have embarked at
Varna, one in the stoke hole and the
other under the bridge
The vessel was in charge of the first
and second mates, the captain being
asleep. The whole bridge, with the
off, while the stoke hole was wrecked
and an apprentice killed
The explosions were followed by an
outbreak of fire in the forehold. AL
together 15 persons lost their lives, but
all the engineers and most of the pas
sengers were saved. The crew be-
haved with great gallantry.
Private advices from Adrianople re-
port that the troops in the Kirk
Kilisee district are treating the in
hibants with great rigor. Every Bull
garian village furnishing recruits to
the insurgents has been bombarded apd
destroyed, the inhibants being given
barely time to escape. In the vilayet
of Monastir equal severity is shown.
One Pasha told his troops that the
booty belonged to them and the honor
to him. AS the result the troops are
pillaging even the villages, which re-
main neutral.
