Recent Loan to the Road Will Be Taken Up and Rest Used For Completion of
 Improvements.

New York. Jan. S.--(Special.) )-The di- rectors of the Seaboard Air Line met this afternoon and authorized an issue of S,0oo.000 collateral bonds.
 Part of the loan will be used to take up the $250,000 loan to the road made at the time that the Blair Ryan interests entered the company. The remainder of the issue is to provide cash for the com pletion of various improvements. The most important of these is the Birming- ham extension, which has required more capital than was at first expected.
 The new issue. it is said, will be secur- ed in addition to treasury assets by 4 per cent improvement bonds. The i'm provement mortgage allows of the issue of H,500,0 900 bonds yearly.
 The allowance for 1905 was not issued.

 IN MEMPHIS.
Ballots from One Box Burned and Gross Irregularities are Alleged in Other Wards-Shoottng

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. S.-AltnouSn twenty-four hours has passed since inc polls closed in the city election held yes terday, the result Is still in doupt, ieSai contest of several of the offices is prac- tically assured, and late developments show that tho election was signalized py the most irregular and riotous scenes connected with any local political contest of recent years.
 II the Tenth Ward the ballot oox was stolen the ballots burned and two men were shot, one seriously, in a riot within the room where the ballots were being counted Gross irregularities are alleged In the Fourth and Fifth Wards and many minor shooting and cutting scrapes are reported from all parts of the city.
 All manner of wild rumors are cur rent, but the more conservative are m- clined to think that no further violence need be anticipated, as 1t is believed that the candidatesswill quietly submit to the official canvass of the vote on Monday by the election commissioner, and where circumstances seem to warrant, to resoit to legal contests. Tonight the city IS quiet, although partisan feeling is run ming high.
 The tally sheets in the Ninth Ward showing the count of the majority of the ballots saved by the judges and an eToit will be made by the Independents 10 have this incomplete vote counted and to have the vote in the Fourth and Fifth wards thrown out. The administration forces will, it is said, oppose these ef- forts.

MARRIAGE NOT LEGAL.
Contract Between Morse and Mrs.
 Dodge Annulled.

New York, Jan, S.-After union or two years the marriage of Mrs. Charles F: Dodge to Charles W. Morse. banker, and former President of the American Ice Company, has been annulled by Supreme Court Justice Bischoff, on the ground that when she became his wife, she had not been legally divorced from her first hus- band.
 It appears that Mrs. Dodge was married to Charles F. Dodge, hotel proprietor in Atlanta, Ga., March 8. 1877. In 1888 she obtained a decree of divorce and in 1901 married MT. Morse in this city. Re- gently Dodge had the decree set aside on the ground that it had been illegally ob- tained in that he was not properly served with notice of the suit.
 This decision rendered the Morse mar riage illegal and petition for its annul- ment was necessary order to straighten out the tangle. Dodge Is said to be al present in New Orleans.
 Much secrecy has been thrown about the case, lawyers connected with it even de- nying that MT. Morse, the banker, is a party to the suit.
