Returns Increase.
Continued from First Page.

until the arbitration boards Sc
lected to pass upon the big rail
road systems have completed
their work, there is nothing but
guess work in all. In the smaller
arbitrations, the assessments of
the comptroller general have
either been accepted or not ma
terially cut-save in one instance.
1t will remain, however, for re-
ports from the arbitrators chosen
to pass upon the big systems be-
fore it will bepossib1e to estimate
with any great degree of accura-
cy the return from this source.
In addition to the return from
bulton county, the comptroller
general received yesterday, in
digests and in kilograms from
the officials in the counties, ad-
vices from the following counties:
Floyd, $4,000; Worth, $415,-
307; Barlow, $104, 768; Clayton,
S77,147; Lee, $55,S72; Stewart,
S1446S0; Meriwether, $4,000;
Laurens, 1920, 10; Baldwin, $780,
474.
AS stated above, the only coun-
ties out are Telfair, which is es-
timated at S150,OO0; Coffee, upon
which Captain Harrison places
estimate of 100000, and Dooly,
estimated at 100000. In almost
every case heretofore the actual
return has been greater than
Captain Harrison's estimate, as
1T is possible that the official fig
ures will increase the above total
somewhat.
AS it stands, however, the to-
tai increase as shown by the
county digests is the greatest
shown in any one year in this his
tory Of the state.

the report. We have seen no

been lost in the shuttle, and can
not be located. Representative

Corbett Counted Out in Tenth
Round--- Thousands Wit

AT the Ringside, Mechanics
Pavilion, San Francisco, Cal,
August 14.-Jeffries wins in the
tenth round.
San Francisco, Aug. 14.-Ten
thousand men were seated about
the arena in Mechanics Pavilion
at 9 o'clock tonight, representing
an expenditure for seating ac-
commodations aggregating $54,-
600. This is the largest crowd
ever assembled at ringside in
this country, and the third larg-
est sum in dollars and cents ever
contested for.
The two that exceeded it in re-
ceipts were the Corbett-Jeffries
fight at Coney Island, S66,00O,
and the Corbett-McCoy fight at
Madison Square Garden, New
York, $4,000 The scene about
the big pavilion from 5 p. m. I'M
til the men stepped into the ring
was one of confusion. The gall
lery ticket holders formed in
line on Hayes, Larkin and Grove
streets in three large rows, and
although there was much crowd
ing and scram bling in the at
tempt to gain admittance, a hun
dred policeman kept perfect or

The pavilion ticket holders we're
more leisurely about coming to
claim their seats. Not until 9
O'Clock were the chairs, boxes

Two Wrecks and Murder Occur on
the Mobile G. Ohio.
Jackson, Tenn. May 12.--The strike
on the Mobile & Ohio railroad now on
in this city is assuming alarming pro-
portions. One man killed, two trains
wrecked and business. badly tied up is
the result of the day in Jackson. Early
yesterday Chief OF Police CASTOR and
his force were called to the. union
depot by the officials of the road on
account OF a wreck having occurred
there, alleged TO be the work of the
strikers. A fish-plate had been laid
between the rails of a switch and a
monster engine was ditched. The en-
CINE was placed again on the rails and
returned to the shops, and when it re-
turned to carry the train north the
switch was thrown and another delay
occasioned.
VIII Marlborough, young man, was
shot and killed yesterday on the tender
OF his engine. Marlborough boarded
the train Saturday afternoon at Bethel
Springs, made trip to Okolona, Miss,
as brakeman and returned to Jack
son yesterday. The train on which
He Was Killed
was the same as that manned by Capt.
Pringle, a bridge foreman, and his
crew of negro hands. South of jack
son the negroes were run off the train
and at Bethel Springs Marlborough
Joined Pringle's train. The strikers
say that they know nothing of the
identity of the man or men who did
the shooting and deprecate the act.
The railroad property is being guarded
and further trouble is feared.
At the request of the strikers the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad company has
prepared writ of injunction which
will be filed in the federal courts ask
ing that the state militia be ordered to
Jackson at once to protect the rights
and property OF the company.
The report that the engineers and
firemen would join the strikers is said
to be unfounded.

Fire Of Incendiary Origin Destroys
LARGE Amount of Property.

Large Amount of Property.
Ottawa, Ont, May ia fire, sns-
pected of being of incendiary origin,
yesterday afternoon and evening, de-
stroyed hundreds of homes and mill
ions of feet of lumber in this city. John
White, who has just been released
from the penitentiary after serving a
term of imprisonment for arson, was
caught near where the fire was first
discovered. He was taken to the po-
lice station and will be charged with
starting the conflagration.
The fire originated within a stones
throw of where the great Hull fire Of
April &c, 1900, was checked. The Hull
fire started on the opposite side of the
river and spread to the Ottawa side,
destroying millions of dollars worth Of
property. II burned out near where
the Ottawa & Parry Sound railway en-
tiers the Western part of the city, and
1t was in the lumber yards near the
railroad that yesterdays fire orig
mated.
Two hours before the principal fire
started two smaller blazes were dis
covered and quickly extinguished in
the lumber yards near the Canadian
Pacific railroad. 1t was $3.50 when the
third was discovered When the brig
ade arrived at the scene it was found
that the water main had been damaged.
and no water could be obtained.
When the brigade did get water the
fire was utterly beyond control. 1t
swept along over the same ground that
the former fire had gone, the only diff
ference being that 1t was going in the
opposite direction. There is a large
cliff which extends from Ottawa river
into the corner of Margaret and Pres
ton streets. The fire area was on the
fats below the cliff,
At two or three points it came very
near getting over the cliff. and had it
done so, nothing would have saved
the city. Fifteen million feet of lum-
Der we're destroyed. The loss on the
lumber will be about 100000. The
buildings burned were principally
dwelling houses and stores. They were
all built since the last great fire and
were either solid brick or brick
yeneered, as the city would not permit
of any other kind being erected. The
loss on the buildings is estimated at
various figures. Mayor Cook said
there were from 500 to 600 families
homeless, or about 1000 individuals.
All the parties are supposed to be in
suTed. .... ..

Washington, May II. Miss Alice
Roosevelt is suffering from collapse as
a result Of her arduous social career.
By her physicians order she is con-
fined to her bed for rest of several
days. For two years Miss Roosevelt
has kept pace with her mothers bril-.
liant social career, which has brought
nearly every woman of the cabinet to
the verge of nervous prostration. She
has been constantly entertained by
diplomats and others when in Wash
ington, and has been even more active
when absent.
