ATTEMPT TO WRECK CENTRAL.
Obstruction Is Discovered on Track In
Time to Prevent Accident.

Columbus, Ga, October 26-(Special)-
An obstruction was placed on the track
of the Central of Georgia railway on the
Macon line four miles from Columbus,
last night presumably for the purpose of
wrecl1ing either the regular passenger
train from Columbus to Macon, or else
a special train returning from the state
fair The obstruction was discovered in
time, and a wreck was thus fortunately
averted
Central railway officials went to the
scene last night accompanied by City
Detective Moore, who carried the citys
bloodhounds for the purpose of tracking
the would-be wreckers. 1t began raining
before they reached the scene, however,
and the dogs were unable to follow the
scent.
This makes the second attempt recently
to wreck a Central of Georgia passenger
train In Muscogee county.

GEORGIA PENSION
FUND WILL BE SHORT
At Least $4,000 More viii Be Nee.
essary to Pay Claims
Approved.

Atlanta October Special)-There Is
every likelihood of a big deficit in the
state pension fund for 1905, according to
report made today to Governor Ter
rell by Commissioner of Pensions j. w.
Lindsey. Instead of the fund appropriated
by the legislature, $s65,O00 being sufficient
to pay all of the pension claims for 1905.
If is probable at least $4,000 more will be
required and the deficit may run even
high than that.
This means an extra appropriation will
have to be made by the next legislature
for pensions If all of those applicants last
placed on the rolls are TO receive their
share of the fund.
Commissioner Lindsey has received
something like 1000 applicants for pensions
this year, and of these he reports to Gov
ernor Terrell he has approved 1926. This
is 1886 more applicants than were approved
in 1903.
