ATTEMPT TO WRECK
Obstruction Placed on the
Southern's Track Near
BIacksburg.
Especial to News and Observer

Charlotte, N. c., April 3.-Railroad Of
ficials here are very much exercised over
a dastardly attempt to wreck No. 81,
the Southern's fast mail train, at point
one mile south of Blacksburg. This
fiendish act was attempted Wednesday
night and it was by the merest accident
that the obstruction placed on the track
did not prove disastrous.
No. 81 left Blacksburg on time Wednes
day evening. At point one mile from
the town the engineer felt his steed hit
some kind of obstruction and before he
had time to reverse his engine the front
truck of the powerful machine was on
the ties. AS quickly as possible the en-
CINE was reversed and the train brought
to a standstill
Speaking on the matter this morning,
a we'll known railroader stated that he
felt sure the trouble near Blacksburg
was caused by some one who intended to
wreck the fast mail train, and that the
purpose of the flends was robbery. This
train is known to carry valuable mail
and the person or persons who conceived
the idea of placing the obstruction on the
track were bent on plunder.
Detective Haney, the Southern's well
known detective, has been sent to Blacks
burg to look into the matter.

Monkeying With Chemicals Causes serious
Injuries to Two Girl Students.
(By the Associated Press. }

New York, April 3.-An explosion of
chemicals in the laboratory of the Ursu-
lines Convent in Park Avenue today re-
suited in serious injuries to two
young girls and precipitated a panic
among the students of the institution.
Twenty-four girls of the chemistry
class were in the laboratory waiting for
the instructor, Sister Mary Joseph, to be-
gin the lesson, when Jennie Cotter, II
years of age, and Stella Herscheimer, 1G
years old, both of City Island began to
experiment with some chemicals. Sud
denly there was a terrific explosion and
both girls were thrown to the floor. The
other girls ran out panic-stricken and
the panic spread to about 100 others in
the school, many of whom were with diff
fculty prevented from jumping out of
windows After the explosion the two
girls were found lying on the floor, their
clothes burned in many places and their
hands and arms covered with cuts and
bruises The character of the chemicals
used in the experiment could not be as
certained Neither of the girls was fa-
tally hurt and little damage to the room
vas done by the explosion.

A BREAK AT HOLLY BROOK.
Sewers al Louisiana Parishes Will be Inundated
by the Escaping Waters
(By the Associated Press)

New Orleans, La, April 3.-Thc most
serious development of the flood situation
to-day was a break in the levee at Holly
Brook plantation, owned by James G..
Pittman The crevaSse is about SIX
miles below Lake Providence in Fest
Carroll parish. The levee was probably
eighteen feet in height and no attempt
will be made to mend it. Efforts. how
ever, will be made to patch the ends.
Owing to protracted rains little planting
has been done and the damage will oe
principally in delay in getting seed into
the ground. The crevasse is reported tc
be 500 feet wide. Parts of Tensas, Mad
ison. Concordia, Catahoula and Richland
parishes, in addition to East Carroll will
be submerged, the water ultimately re-
turning to the Mississippi through the
Red River Dispatches from the vicinity
of the break say with the favorable eX-
isting river conditions the water will not
run through the crevasse and the dam
age will be considerably less than that
done by the crevasse in the same vicinity
in 1898.
Work OF strengthening the crib work
at Hymela continued throughout the
day. No signs Of weakness in the struc-
ture have yet appeared.
The river here to-day huctuated be-
tween 2O.2 and 2O.3, slight rise over
yesterday. due in all probability to re-
duction of the discharge at Hymelia.

A DECISION MONDAY.
Judge lurtOn Takes Southern
Pacific Case Under Al
ViSement.
(By the Associated Press.)

Nashville, April 3.-The Southern Pa
cific case was taken under advisement
by Judge Lurton shortly after noon to-
day The decision will be announced in
Louisville next Monday.
Senator Foraker made the concluding
argument for Talbot J. Taylor and Com
pany The Senator said the complainants
in applying for an injunction wished the
court to compel defendants to do what
it is their duty to perform.
Judge Lurton then asked Senator For
aker to state what sort of relief was de-
sired in event an injunction was not
granted as prayed Senator Foraker re-
piled that the injunction was asked to
prevent the voting of the stock held by
the Union Pacific at the coming meeting
on April S, and to prohibit the leasing
or severing of the Central Pacific. The
speaker then took up the question of
competition and said that both roads had
a common terminus at Portland, and that
they are competitors in trans continental
traffic.
eff they are competing lines" said
Senator Foraker, what are the rights
of bona fide minority stockholders? This
suit was brought to ascertain the rights
of stockholders, and complainants argue
and insist that the corporation should
have a board of directors free from the
touch or influence of any other line and
who would be devoted singly to the in
terests of this company
while this injunction was seeking to
prevent the execution of a contract,
said Senator Foraker, 1.-The complainants
contend that this contract is Illegal.
There was no redress for wrong done
by one corporation to another unless the
act complained of was Illegal and there
would have been no illegality in this con-
tract had it been entered into between
the directors of both companies acting
solely for the particular interests they
represented" Senator Foraker insisted
that the contract was Illegal for the rea-
son that it was in contravention of public
policy and against such acts some remedy
should be had The statement that the
Southern Pacific was being improved for
the benefit of stockholders was no an
swer.
The defendants had said that they had
no intention of severing the Central Pa
had spent 500. 100000 in improving it.
The earnings of the Southern Pacific over
and above operating expenses and fixed
charges were being spent on improve
ments and these sums amounted to many
millions.
One could not help thinking that if the
Union Pacific had no idea now of acquir-
ing the central Pacific, the time might
come when they would think of 1t, ana
this would be when they had made the
road more valuable and should they de-
eide to sever it from the Southern Pa
cific it could be done in five minutes by
a resolution adopted at a meeting of the
directors.
Senator Foraker in closing said the
important question was restraining the
Union Pacific from voting the Southern
Pacific stock at the annual meeting.

Especial to News and Observer

Chapel Hill, n. c., April 3.-In a per-
feet whirlwind which prevented the play
ing of fast and snappy ball, the Univer-
sity of North Carolina defeated Gettys-
burg College here this afternoon by a
score of seven to five. Errors, wild
throws and dumb base running charac-
terized the playing of both teams and
as result a slow and uninteresting
game was played
The visitors opened the game in a
lively manner, making two runs without
however getting a hit, thus runs being
absolutely presented to the Pennsyl-
vanians, but Carolina was not satisfied
with her donation of runs in the first
inning, and again in the second inning
the Northerners scored two more runs
on costly errors.
The University boys really never got
into tile game until the seventh inning,
when, by punching three hits four runs
were made. Hart pitched wonderfully
good ball, in fact a shut-out game, bat
the support he received was miserable.
