Acting Judge Cross is Going to
Dispose of Nuisances.
Chronic Malefactors to be Fined
Hesvily-One Gets 800
Today.
A FEW OTHER GASES TRIED

Attorney D. A. Gross, who is acting
judge of the police court, is establish
ing a record that promises to make
him terror to evil-doers, especially
those who are in the habit of boarding
with the lookup keeper about two
thirds of their time. Many colored
offenders, and some white ones, man.
age to get back in the lookup IS soon
as they get out, and Acting Judge
Gross will give them all the time they
want on the city streets during his
term.
Today John Lewis, colored, who
was released from the lookup yester-
day, was presented on a charge of dis
orderly conduct. The evidence
showed that he went to the home of
some white women on the North Side
last night when no men were around
and aroused them to borrow an Ok. :"
His conduct was very peculiar, to say
the least, and he could give no salts
factory explanation Of it, although he
was probably full OF Cooke" A fine
Of 500 was assessed against HIM and
he was informed that the next time
he comes up before Judge Cross he
will be given fifty days in Jail in ad-
ditiop.
Mary Brown, colored, displayed a
faulty memory in regard to the rum
Der Of times she had been in police
court lately. She couldn't remember
to save her life. She was charged
with assaulting and abusing Msude
Titsborth, colored, and said she did it.
but only after she had been abused.
The Ellsworth woman of course told a
different tale, and said the woman
pulled her hair out and choked her,
and had the bunch of hair in court to
prove it. On account OF the defend
ants delicate condition she was not
fined, but both were placed under q
$500 bond to do no more fighting and
released.
The warrant against Fairfax Craig,
for refusing to support his child, was
dismissed, as the violation seems to
have been unintentional. He has
brought suit for divorce, but the case
has never been tried, and his wife
lives on Court street, where the father
objects to the ohild's being kept. He
says he will support it if 1t is taken
to a suitable place, but otherwise not.
The court advised him TO prosecute
the divorce suit and get the child.
James McNulty was fined $40 and
costs for violation of the Sabbath.
Annie Singleton, colored, who is an
old offender and is such a freTuentor
of the prisoners dock that the negro
spectators giggled when the court asked
her If she had ever been there before,
pleaded guilty to being drunk and dis
orderly and throwing a brick through
Mr.. A. Denker's showcase. She was
fined only ss5 and costs.
Jennie Hester and Sam Phillips,
charged with stealing a watch, were
held TO answer, and others may be i'm
plicated in the theft before the case is
finished.

Freight Trains Wrecked Near
Dawson Last Evening.
One Man Missing and Is Supposed to
Have Been Killed-Several
Were Hurt.
EXACT CAUSE Is UNKNOWN

There was head-end freight COLI
sion between two freight trains last
night on the I. q. just 500 yards north
Of Dawson, and one man is missing
and Sc sersl injured as a result of the
smash-up. One engine was knocked
100 feet off the track and the tanks Of
two other engines totally wrecked.
The trains were freights No. ISL,
engine No. "a, in charge of Conductor
j. W. Mccain, Engineer Charles
Underwood and Fireman steinberg,
and No. 1876, engines Nos. iI64 and
22, No. 1876 beirG q double header, in
charge OF Conductor ]. H. Fink,
Engineer z. Shegog and Fireman T.
O. Anderson on No. 22 and Engineer
Tom J. Mullen and Fireman Tom
Grammon on 1854. No. 1894 is a
total wreck and was knocked q dis
lance from the track The tanks Of
engines 22 and "a were total wrecks
and one car of train No. 1856 was
totally wrecked Nine cars of No
l51 were wrecked, the remainder Of
the tram escaping injury.
All enginemen jumped aud saved
themselves from probable fatal in
juries, and the only man missing is
Ed johnson, a colored brakeman who
was on the tank of No. 1894. He has
not been found and it is thought no
was killed in the wreck and his re
mains covered by the debris of tho
wreokage.
Fireman Grammon of Louisville il
perhaps the worst injured, having .
shoulder dislocated and his body badly
cut and bruised in several places
Fireman Underwood of Memphis sus-
tanned slight injuries about ths head
in alighting, his scalp being lacersted
in several places. Engineer Shegog's
back was wrenched and Fireman
Steinberg was bruised about the body
in alighting. Conductor Fink escaped
with slight cut behind the left ear
Engineer Mullen had lip cut and
several bad bruises about the body,
but all came in on No. 1871, the ac-
commodation train, having not been
too badly injured to walk, except
Grammop, who was kept at Dawson
under the care Of the railroad physi-
clan. He will be brought here as soon
as he is able 10 be moved.
William Martin, a colored brake
man, jumped and sustained injuries
about the lower limbs His legs
were cut by running into a bsrbed
wire fence.
Engines Nos. 90 and "a locked to-
gether and will have to be brought in
together. The wreck was one OF the
worst seen on this division in soma
time and the loss TO the |. O. will
amount to a great deal
The cause of the accident is sup
posed to lie in the fact that both en-
gineers tried to take opposite switches
and neither succeeded. fhey met
while running very fast and the escape
Of the enginemen AMI train crews is
considered miraculous. Another cause
given is that No. l5l was running
ahead of time, but the real cause will
be determined in the investigation.
The local wrecker was sent out from
here last night and is still working on
the wreck. The fast Louisville pas
senger train, No. l0l, was delayed
many hours, not arriving until 2
O'Clock this morning, running thirteen
hours late.

The courts will, at last, have TO de-
eide the question of supremacy be-
tween the old board of police commits
sioners and the new board recently
elected under the city charter amend
ment. The old board proposes TO hold
on instead of resigning Office.
Such was the decision reached after
a meeting held yesterday at the Office
of Chairman Perry,
Mr. Perry was seen after the meet
ing adjourned, and stated that his
board was willing for the courts to
pass upon the matter and decide the
question of jurisdiction.
The matter Of resigning was dis.
cussed at come length, Mr.. Perry
said, but it was the desire of the
board to hold on until the courts tried
the issue. Ii the old board bad any
rights, under such decision, they pro-
pose to stand by them.
And nov the issue is on between
the two police boards.
The Times Recorder has told already
OF the formal installation of the new
board, recently elected, on Saturday
night last; and organization Of that
body for business.
The new board proposed to take
charge e the police department. Tues.
day morning, but deferred action until
today, pandlng the result further
conference on the subject. 1t was
thought that the matter M ght reach
some kind Of adjustment.
Itnow remains TO be seen what next
the two boards will do towards assert.
ing authority
And also which one of the boards
the police department. will recognize
as having authority in directing the
police force OF the city.
1t is not improbable that one board
or the other will take legal steps this
mos ming, although this is a matter O
conjecture only. But certain it is the
vexed question is one which the cour tt
alone can determine, and the soonel
done the better.
The situation is an unusual as vel
as embarrassing one, and the people o

And, really, nothing short of COM

Nearly $50 misses and young chill

scene presented was one of dazzling
beauty aud grandeur.
Pretty Alice the wanderer in

pleasing juvenile play.
The costumes, transforming the young

received the very heartiest applause.
Many very gorgeous fairy dances

a SUCCESSOR TO sUpT. ANsLEY
viii Probably be Named in Council
Meeting Friday.

Many were the inquiries made yester-
day as to the probable action of council
in filling the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mr.. John B. Ansley, city
engineer and superintendent OF water
works. No one knows whom the conn
Gil members have in view, though ii
was suggested yesterday that some
one might be employed as bookkeeper
to look after the clerical work aud col.
lection of accounts, which duty also de-
volved upon Supt. AnsleY. Beyond
this nothing is definitely known of the
intentions of the council in the way OF
filling the vacancy. Mr.. Ansley left
yesterday for New Orleans, though his
family will remain in Americas until q
residence there can be secured.

SURE TO GET THAT
BIG MILL IN Time.
Americus to Get a Second
Factory.
A BUILDING SITE is INSPECTED
While No Positive Assurance is Given
BY The Projectors 1t is Reasonably
Certainly That The Armour Works
viii Build Here.

That Americas will have second
large fertilizer plant is now reasonably
assured. The Times Recorder, speak
ing adyisedly, has said SO already, and
just at present the prospect of securing
this large industry is brighter thar
ever before.
Positive assurance has not been
given, IL is true, but oil indications
point that way.
For some time ii has been very gen
orally known that the Armour Ferti-
Iizer Works contemplated erecting
large fertilizer plant in Americus
during the current year.
This company does a very ex ensive
business throughout this immediate
section, among others, but st present
it's nearest manufacturing plant is in
Atlanta, and local freight rates on
goods to this point is the great obstacle
IN the way.
BY manufacturing fertilizers right
here upon the field the company
would be put upon an equal basis
with others ia competing for business,
hence the purpose TO build.
Mr.. A. B Carpenter, of Chicago, one
of the chief officials of the Armour
Fertilizer Works, with Capt. Dwight
L, Roberts, commercial representative,
were in the city yesterday, coming
here npon important business.
These gentlemen, though thorough.
ly conYersant with the local situation
already talked with several prominent
business men of the city and county,
and during the afternoon took look
at several very desirable and available
building sites here.
The conclusions reached by them
| will be made known later.
The advantages possessed by Amer
Gus, both as a manufacturing and dis
tributing point, is we'll recognized,
and there is no better or more deslra-
BILE point in Georgia for the location oil
fertilizer plant, or any other large
industry for that matter.
Should the Armour Works build
here, as now seems most probable, the
| plant will ba completed during The
summer and will be ready to 5egir
operations for the next season.
