LARGE LUMBER YARDS BURN
AT BRUNSWICK YESTERDAY

Brunswick, Ca, May 3.-The
lumber yards of the Hilton and
Dodge Lumber Company, few
miles frcm this city, were almost
completely destroyed by fire to-
night, and total loss is estimated
to be between 100000 and $780,
900.
The fire originated shortly
after 5 o'clock in the dry kiln,
due to an overhead in the boiler.
The kiln was quickly destroyed
and nearby lumber pile ignited.
A stiff northeast gale prevailed,
which famed the flames from
pile to pile, and in a few minutes
the entire yard was ab1aze, and it
is estimated that a million and a
quarter feet of high grade cy-
press lumber we're burned, to-
gether with two dry kilns and a
number of shingles.
The city fire department went
to the scene of the confagration,
but was unable to render any

WHICH COURT HAS JURISDECTION2
Brunswick and Birmingham Receivership
Case Takes Another Turn.

The appointment of a receiver
for the Brunswick & Birming-
ham railroad has taken another
and important turn.
c. D. Ogg of Brunswick has
been appointed receiver by Judge
Parker, of the superior court OF
the Brunswick circuit, under peti.
ton from the Knickerbocker
Trust Co. of New York.
The petition was filed in March
for the purpose of protecting the
bondholders, but was not push
ed. Since E. C. Machen is try
ing to throw the road into the
hands of the United States court,
the attorneys for the trust COM
pany asked that Judge Parker
act on the petition.
1t is claimed by the petitioners
that the Brunswick & Birming-
ham has failed in three instances
to pay the interest on the mort
gage bonds held by them, amount
ing finally to $147,857.5O.
The Knickerbocker people are
in favor of the consolidation of

TRAINS COLLIDE AT
ALBANY YESTERDAY
Freight and Passenger Meet
8 on Highh Trest1e Over
the Flint River.

Albany, Ca, May "a fright
full accident, with heavy loss Of
life, was narrowly averted short
ly before noon to-day when north
bound passenger train No. u or
the Savannah, Florida and Yves
tern division of the Atlantic
Coast Line dashed into Central
of Georgia freight, which was
moving on the Coast Line bridge
over Flint river.
There is something of a my
stery connected with the cause
Of the collision, but the two
engines met at a point where the
trestle is fully fifty feet above
the ground. Fortunately the
engines te1escoped, neither being
thrown from the trest1e, and the
passenger coaches were not pull.
ed off the track.
There was a momentary panic
on the part of the passengers, a
curve in the trest1e made it an
easy matter to witness the COLI
sion from the coach windows.

A MIDNIGHT Fire.

Between IL and 1 o'clock last
night the Troup gin house near
the water and light plant was
discovered on fire. Although
the building is the very nearest
one to the plant, it was in a
bright blaze before the fire alarm
was sounded and was we'll nigh
consumed before the department
could reach the scene with a
stream. AS it was necessary to
run an unusually long line of
hose, probably more than three
blocks, from in front of the opera
house. The building had been
abandoned and the machinery
moved out more than a year ago.
The blaze was quite a bright one
for several minutes.
There are several versions as
to the origin of the fire. 1t is
near enough to the railroad tracks
to have been fired by a yard en-.
CINE, or it might have been fired
by the care1essness of gamblers,
who, it has been suggested might
have used the old building as a
hiding place.
There is still another theory;
that it was fired to give oppor-
tunity for rob berry. This idea is
borne out by an effort to rob
Mi1ler's Second Hand store dur.
ing the progress of the fire.
The burglar, who placed bar
rel on table and had broken out
a transom over the rear door,
was frightened away by Messrs,
Rowe and Beauchamp, who were
attracted by the noise as they
were watching the fire. The
police are at work on the case
and have negro now in prison
who fails to give a satisfactory
explanation of his actions and
whereabouts at that time.

and it is believed if Judge Speer
throws the Machen matter out
of the United States court in
Macon the receiver appointed
will only serve to bring the mat
tiers of the old company to a
close and will not in any way
effect the consolidation of the
two lines. In case Judge Speer
rules with Machen it is not
known what will be done.
The hearing in the United
States court which was to have
been held in Macon yesterday
was postponed on account of
