Then.
In connection with their adver.
tisement of an issue of bonds for
the Western Maryland railroad
company, two eastern banking
firms announce it is expected by
the railroad officials that the new
60-mlle Ink from Cherry Run to
Cum oerldnd will be completed by
Novem Der 10, when service will
be installed by the operating de.
partment The system will then
comprise 534 miles of railroad
and valuable coal fields in West
Virginia. 1t learnedl from an
other source that a consolidation
of the Western Maryland and the
West Virginia Central q Pitts
burg, together with the latter's
coal properties will be effected
shortly, giving the Western Mary
land entire control of the proper
ty. The system will have admir-
able facilities for handling the
coal and other tonnage at Balti-
more, where extensive terminals
have been built. 1t is SAID that
there is a strong rivalry between
Hagerstown, South Cum berland,
and Rldgely, W. Va, over the To-
cation of the company blgshops.
Eighty per cent. of the costly
piece of road is finished. The
new link crosses the Poto mac
river nine times, the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal seven times, the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad three
times, passes through ranges and
spurs by five tunnels, varying IN
length from 700 feet to 4400 feet,
passes through ridges and hills
by innumerable cuts, many of
them over 80 feet through solid
rock, and some almost a mile in
length, and a great portion of the
road is being cut out of the rocky
sides Of mountain ranges direct
/ ly above the canal. There were
I employed in this work of pushing
/ the road to completion;
Over :, 300 men, sixteen steam
shovels, twenty.six locomotives,
three hundred and fourteen ami.
mails, two compressing plants and
two concrete mixers.
The first seven bridges east oi
/ Cumberland have been built and
track LAID to North Branch. A
contract has been awarded tC
Tansey d Wagner. Of Cumber
land, for the construction of brick
/ passenger stations at HancocA
and South Cumberland.
1t required more dynamite and
/ powder, more men and animals,
more shovels and other machln-
cry aud more fertile bralns tc
build the Wabash Ink than any
other piece Of railroad work in
the history of the country. Yet
with all the machinery, men, ami.

which causes many to marvel

Phillips. q ~13-Year-Old Boy Begins
Serving Sentence.

Sheriff Julian left on the early train
this morning for Raleigh with two
prisoners for the p~enitentiary. Joe
Witherspoon goes up for eight years
for attempting to commit Il criminal
assault. and Gilmore Phillips, the 49,
.year-Old boy who unquestiOnably kill
ed his cruel stepfather and submitted
to manslaughter. will serve the same
number of years. Unless pardOned he
will be exactly 81 years old when his
iterm is completed.
The case OF this boy Phillips pre-
scented many remarkable phases. the
most conspicuous Of which. if he really
did murder his ~stepfather, was b de-
termination of this ignorant child to
revenge himself for the frequent mercl-
less whippings that he had endured.
The boy does not appear to possess
the intelligence of a child Of ten.
When arraigned in the court room he
looked wonderingly around and in a
half frightened manner met the gaze
of the spectators who sought a good
view of him.
The crime for which the boy was
convicted is still fresh in The mind OF
the public. But a few weeks ago the
dead body of Phillips stepfather was
found in a thicket. There was ample
proof in surface signs that the bod
had been dragged from the house to
the thicket by a horse Or mule. Young
Phillips confessed that he had secreted
the body, but denied that he killed his
father.-SalisDury Post.

tivity and undue p~artisanship in the

several of them. It so happened that

charges. AS a result Collector Stuart
has been directed hat if the business
of his office should make necessary the
employment of additional assistants he

tive or to permit hi. office force TO be
so partisan in their political efforts.

STREET AUTOMOBILE LINE
Four Big Machines Purchased. mi to
DC Operated by a Negro Company
i'm Nashville.

New York, September 14.-That r.
r. Boyd, president of the Penny Say
ings Bank of Nashville, Tenn, had
purchased in this city four large auto
mobiles for use on a new street auto
mobile line for negroes in that city was
announced today. The vehicles are to
be used by the Union Transport Com
pany of Nashville.
Rev. G.. Men. Parish of Louisville,
Ky, Il negro stakeholder in the new
company said:
"A law granting the conductor of
the street railways power of police to
remove passengers from any seat in
the car, and to arrest whoever refuses,
was passed several months Ago.. 1t is
worded to apply both to the blacks II
whites, but it is really directed only
against the blacks, and since it was
passed several negroes have been ar
rested for refusing to obey the con-
ductors. AS d result, the receipts in
fares have fallen off $500 a week since
the law was passed. The negroes i'm
mediately organized a company Of
their own, and began by using wagons.
They found that they owned among
themselves seventy vehicles which they
could use for the purpose. The enter
prise has prospered, and yesterday 1
went with MI. BoByd to purchase four
large steam automobiles, which will
be run in place of cars. The purpose
of the company is to give the negroes
of Nashville equal rights with the
white passengers. 1t is not our pur-
pose to exclude the whites and as au-
tOmobiles are something of a novelty
in Nashville, we expect that the whites
will patroniZe our company"

AFTER TAX
Durham .Atdcrmea Revising Tax List.
To Greatly Increase Receipts.

The board Of city aldermen are
playing for big game and if all .ndi-
cations prove true an investigation
that is now on will be the mea OF
not only putting thousands upon
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty ON the tax books, but there will
be a collection of back taxes that will
be no little sum.
1t seems from the present status OF
the investigation that there are a
number OF corporations In the city
b a are paying a great deal more
taxes to the state and county than
they have been paying the city. This
will. amount to a large sum. There
are other discrepancies that look TO
be large.
All such corporations have been cit
ed to appear before the board OF al
dermen at an adjourned session TO be
held on Monday night of next wees
and there show cause why the proper
ty shall not be listed for taxation ana
also why back taxes shall not be eel
lected for a period of than five
years, this being the limit allowed
by legislative enactment.
At this time it is impossible to get
figures and full facts. 1t is said. how
ever, by those who have figured over
the matter, that the increased valua-
ton of properly for taxation will be
over $1,000 00. This will add close to
$1,000 annually to the tax books. But
this is not all. There will be certain
other properties to be listed for in
creased taxation-those having the
right of eminent domain-and this
will bring the annual receipts up to
about 81, 500 additional. When the m
vestigation is over it may mean cou-
Bile this amount. Then the back taxes
for five years will be no small mater.
Probably $4,000 in cash-more like
ly it will be $25,000-will be collected
and turned into the city treasury

DISASTER TO THE MIKASA
critic Explosion and Fire That Caused

Sasebo, September 13.-Admiral To

Guiding members of her crew and men
from other ships who went to the res
cue were lost.
This little town, which has suddenly
risen to prominence since the outbreak
of the recent war, had spent a quiet
Sunday. The presence in the harbOr
of several warships that had taken
part in the humiliation Of the form

an object of pride, but the quiet SUM
Der of night was violently disturbed a
little after midnight by a terrific ex-
~plosion, accompanied by a severe
shock.
An eager crowd assembled on the
coast only to discover that a terrible
disaster had overtaken the beloved
Mikasa, the flagship of the great Togo,
who led his men to victory in the life
and death struggle, in which b nation
had just been engaged. Words are
powerless to describe the profound dis
appointment and sorrow attending this
great catastrophe. The absence of Adj
miral Togo from the ship at the time
of the explosion and the hope that the
vessel can be repaired, are the only re-
deeming features of the unprecedented
calamity. a deep feeling of sympathy
toward the unfortunate sufferers after
a cessation Of hostilities p~ermeated
