Atlanta, Ga--The recent proposition
of J. Pope Brown, chairman OF tho
Georgia railroad commission. TO reduce
the passenger rate In Georgia from
three to two cents per mile was pro-
tested against by the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers, the Order or
Railway Conductors, and unions OF the
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
ers, boilermakers, railway trainmen,
carpenters and joiners. clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such n reduce
tion would work against the prosperi-
~ of the state and lead to a reduc-'
ton In the number Of railroad en-
ployes as we'll as Of their wages. Tho
Travellers Protective association also
protested that a reduction as proposed
would result In fewer trains and poor
service.

WRECKED THE TRAIN
Fourth Attempt to Derail Cars Near
Emporia, Kan, Successful.
spikes Were Drawn and Fishplstss No
moved ON Curve-six Persons In
iursd-Tools Found
Near Wreck.

Emporia. Kan. May 16.-Santa Fe
passenger train No. IL was ditched
by train wreckers q mile east OF town
ut 1880 Sunday morning. Six passen-
gers were injured and two will prob
ably die.
This is the fourth attempt In the
last four months TO wreck passenger
trains in the same place. Previous
attempts were made by piling ties on
the track and without serious results.
The wreck Sunday morning was caused
by removing the spikes and fishplates
OF two rails on the inside OF curve.
The engine on No. II, In charge Of
Engineer Tom Grady and Fireman
Grover, passed over the loose rails
safely, but the mail car left the track
and was dragged q hundred yards
along the embankment before the train
was stopped. The next Ave cars, two
express and baggage cars, smoker
and two day coaches, went into the
ditch across the right-of-way fence,
and lodged in O zigzag line. The end
OF the baggage car went up In the air
high enough to ground four telegraph
wires. Two Pullman sleepers remained
on the track. The passengers were
asleep when the wreck occurred and
were greatly excited. The passengers
soon formed wrecking crew and went
to the relief of the men In the over
turned baggage car. A window was
broken and of seven men in the car
six were found injured. Strechers
were made from car doors and wounded
carried to a nearby field where hos
pital was improvised. An hour after
the wreck a relief train arrived from
Emporia and the injured were taken
to Emporia. A hundred workmen were
put to work on the track and 1t was
cleared for use again Sunday after
noon.
There Is no clues to the wreckers,
although II is evidently the work OF
amateurs. Three were seen Saturday
night near Howard branch section
house. Sunday morning a track
wrench and claw bar were missing
and were found in a pool of water
near the wreck Sunday. 1t is believed
II must have been the work Of gang
as passenger train No. 1S passed over
the rails less than 25 minutes before
the wreck and met II at Lang, five
miles away.

Il stopped almost as suddenly as II
had commenced. A few moments OF
ominous calm followed and then the
tornado struck, tearing buildings to
pieces as though they were made OF
paper. Many people who had thought
to take advantage Of the calm to seek
refuge In cellars were caught In the
streets and between buildings, where
some were lifted high in the air and
dashed to the ground as though hurled
from a catapult, while Others were
struck by flying debris and beaten
almost beyond recognition. Those who
remained In their houses Jared no bet
