Terrible 0dOr.

Two nights last week the Washington
Southern Railway sidetracked the gar
bage train from Washington city in West
End Just outside the city limits. The
stencil from the train was simply horrible
and very offensive to those living near.
Had the wind been blowing from the west
instead of from the southeast the whole
western part of the city would have been
affected. Some steps should be taken by
the proper authorities to stop this null
sance. Now for the comical part. \
house maid in West End was entertain
ing a gentleman on the back porIico on
the first night Of the visitation Of the
garbage train and her experiences are
best told by her conversation with the
mistress of the house. Next morning she
said "NIrs, - wasn't it awful? when
first smelled it, thought it was Tommie,
anu after found out What it was, | was
awlully afraid TOmmie would think 1t
was me"

Sensational Report.

Early last night an attempt was MADE
N get up excitement in this city by the
circulation of report to the effect that
q negro had il-treated q little girl IN
Alexandria county, near this city. and
that q mob had left here for the purpose
of capturing the offender and iynching
him The origin of the matter seems to
have been as follows: Yesterday after
noon the eleven-year-old daughter OF
Edward Wagner, a laborer, living on
north Henry street, near the Belle-Pre
Bottle Works, was sent by her mother 10
q store ON north Patrick street, about
three blocks from her home, 10 make
some purchases, and not returning with
in q reasonable time caused some ankle
1y. Finally the police were appealed to
and in short while search was IN
stituted Later she was located near
Spring Park, and, when questioned
about her failure to return home, she
said she was on her way to the store
when she was approached by man VINO,
WAS either an Italian or bright mulai-
10. whose conduct frightened her so
4hat she started to run. She asserted
that the man pursued her for some dis
lance. and then gave up the chase but
she was so unstrung that she continued
toward Del Ray and finally wandered
back to Spring Park. The report con-
corning tire girls disappearance which
reached the station house early IN ne
night was made to Lieutenant Smith
who took immediate steps toward ind
ing her By sending Officer Arlington Ill
abe direction of Del Ray.

The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1905-02-02
The Street Railway

There has been such persist
ent inquiry regarding the street
railway recently and the matter
seems to occupy such promi-
nent place ia the public mind
that a DISPATCH reporter on yes
4 terday called on Col. T. j.
/ O'Neili, the local representative
of the company. and asked for
news regarding the building on
the line. Col. O9Neill's reply
was practically the same as that
which he has given to many sim
liar inquiries ON previous 0cca-
sfons. It was to the effect that
the delay, vas, due to inability of
the company to seosre cross
ties. In substantiation of this
statement he showed the report
er letters from various persons
regarding cross ties and also let
tiers from railroad off Gals giving
information as TO rates on ties
from various points.
Col. O4Neill stated that while
the public did not seem TO be-
Iieve that an inability to secure
cross ties was the cause of the
delay in the work that such was
really the case. In laying the
street railway the com pany willis
use BOO ties to the mile. so that
to lay the three miles which in
order to comply with the c0ndi-
tons of the franchise must be
completed by next December. |
about $500 ties will be req uired. |
It was the original intention of
the company to purchase all
these ties in Lowndes county, |
but it has proven impossible to
secure them, and arrangements
are now being made TO import
them from adjoining counties in
East Mississippi and West Ala
bama.
