LUMBERMEN WILL APPEAL.
Very Much Disappointed Over Judge
Niles Decision in Refusing
Injunction.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, July 2.-An appeal will
be taken By the lumbermen Of Mis-
sissippi from the decision of Judge
Niles on the amended bill seeking to
secure an injunction restraining the
railroads operating in the state from
enforcing the advance of two cents
per 100 in the rates on yellow pine
shipped to points south of the Ohio
and east of. the Mississippi river.
The appeal records will be for
warded to the federal court of appeals
it New Orleans as soon as they can be
prepared. The lumbermen are very
much disappointed over the decision
of Judge Niles, the important portion
of which is as follows:
1T seems perfectly clear to me that
the decree prayed for in this supple
mental or amended bill, in SO far as
it suggests no provision for modifi-
cation of it in the future upon the
application of the defendant compan-
les, would be exactly the decree pray
ed for in the original bill. If this
court should make decree enjoining
the defendant companies from enforc-
ing the increased rates, would L not
be prescribing maximum rate be-
yond which the companies should
not go, and beneath which they must
adjust their rates? 1t seems clear
to me that there is no distinction
between the decree prayed for in the
original bill and that prayed for in
the amended bill. think, therefore,
that my ruling upon the demurrer to
the original bill must be sustained,
and that this court has no jurisdiction
to grant the relief prayed for by the
supplemental bill for the reason that
to do so would be to prescribe max
imum rate. Therefore the complain
ants are not entitled to restraining
order as prayed.

wringing their hands. Many sat on
shattered timbers blown from the
mines mouth, insensible to thier sur
roundings. The most frantic pushed
to the edge of the gap and tried to
force a way into the slope.
An expert who went almost TO the
seventeenth level says the mine can
not possibly be cleared for month.
It is feared that men in the lower
levels were torn to pieces by the ex-
plo sion, which hurled great timbers
high over the town and 1900 feet be-
yond the mouth of the slope.
