RELIEF FOR MERIDIAN,
Governor vardaman at Stricken
City to Aid Victims.

MERIDIAN, Miss. March 5.-Hunter
George. president of the city board of
trade. was made chairman of TIE gem
aral relief committee, and j. W. Doho-
van was elected secretary. Business
is practically suspended, and every
citizen is giving his best effort 'oward
alleviating the sufferings of many poor
people.
Among the buildings destroyed or
practically ruined were those OF the
Thomas Lyle Grocery COMPANY, Elmi-
ra's restaurant, the MeyerNeville
Hardware company, the Grand Avenue
hotel, Thornton's Transfer company,
the Culpepper hotel, the New Orleans
and Northeastern freight depot, the
Young Mems Christian association, the
Meridian Chair company, the city cleo
trio light plant, w. J. Woodside Il Co.,
the Iearcc Compress company, the
Gulf Compress company and innumer
able smaller buildings used by work
men ANA negroes.
The militia is keeping the crowds
back. while the search of the ruins
progresses. The citizens held a meet
ing and organized for relief work.
Many persons reported missing are
believed to be dead under the wreck
age in the business district.
The property loss is difficult to esti-
mate, but it is believed it will run
above 100000. The city is in dark
ness at night and doubtless will be for
some time, as the electric light plant
was badly damaged. and wires OF all
kinds are down.
A special train has arrived from
Jackson with Governor Nardaman, 100
members of the legislature aud many
physicians. who are aiding in the relief
work.

A FABLE.
Sometimes the Man Owns the Home
Sometimes the House Owns Him.

Perhaps you bought that extra
house" with the saving of many
years. When title passed TO you it
seemed that you had become a pref
ty important sort of fellow, after
long waiting. 1t looked as though
it would be a nice thing to have Il
steady income from a property, as
we'll as from your daily work. You
felt like a capitalist-or like you
imagined a capitalist must feel
able 10 make other things besides
your w hands work for you. And
the thought that upon waking up
every morning you would be Il little
richer than when you went to bed
was a very comforting one-after so
many years of the other feeling.
But there seemed to be something
wrong somewhere. The rent-income
of the first three months was swal-
lowed up in repairs-then the ten
ants moved out one fine morning
owing you Il couple of months rent.
Taxes were due and payable. The
house needed papering and decorat-
ing. A new leak in the roof need
ed attention, You placed a very
pretty ITO Rent placard in the win
dow; but the possible tenant walked
down the next street when he was
in that neighborhood.
In fact, your house had quit work
ing for you; and you had commenced
working for it. You had quit man
aging the house; and the house had
begun to manage you.
But, for the sake of a HAPPY end
ing" to thi slittle fable, let us sup
pose that one morning you woke
up a wiser, if a poorer, man. Let
us suppose that, in consideration of
the money you had spent in making
it a better house, you concluded to
raise the rate of rent accordingly;
and that you lost no time in writing
an effective ITO Rent" advertise
ment of that house. Let us assume
that the possible new tenant who
who had not been on that street
lately was a reader of the classified
advertisement-as he usually is
and that he signed your lease a few
days afterwards.
And having had plenty of "eXper-
ience' as a landlord you may now
expect to reap some of the profits.

CA@-~-, IAN, -,iarch 5.-The gas

The well is being increased by the ex-
pulsion of rocks, which are thrown
high into the air.
A rock weighing twenty pounds shot
from the well descended 1000 feet
away. Efforts to smother the fire with
steam have failed completely, and the
plan of closing the well with Il hood
has not proved feasible.

MUST COVER
THE GARBAGE
New Contractors Will be Com.
PEELED TO Observe that Fea-
ture in New Contract.

The city authorities, in an effort
to do away with the Il of the
complaints from residents of the
vicinity OF the place where the garb-
abe is dumped, will require the con
Germ which gets the contract fol
gathering and %disposing of the ashes
and garbage during the ensuing
year to cover the garbage in the
dump with at least six inches OF
clean earth or one foot of clean ash
es. every three days. Bids will be
received March 10 by the Board OF
Aldermen.
II thus appears that the idea of an
%incinerator, to burn the garbage,
will not be entertained, owing to the
economy necessirated by the reduc-
ton in the tax rate brought about by
the Hillery law. and also because it
is thought that the covering will
prove a satisfactory method.

ALL IS NOW READY FOR
OPENING OF THE CANAL

Trenton Friday--0pen Winter
Favored Repairs.

TRENTON, Mar. 5.-The Delaware

cation, weather permitting, Saturday,

railroad building, South Clinton ave
nue..
While no improvements of a spe-
cially extensive nature have been
made during the winter, the canal
has received one of the most thor
)ugh overhaulings in its history. This
has been due 10 the fact that the win.
ter has been so open that repair
work could be kept up all winter.
Assistant Superintendent Dunn said
Yesterday afternoon spots along the
canal that had not been worked at in
years, owing to snow and ice, had
been repaired this winter. Mr.. Dunn
stated that three times as much work
rs usual had been accomplished. In
consequence, the waterway will be in
first class condition when the boats
start again next saturday.
The principal work done in this
city was the construction of new
bridges at North Broad street, over
the feeder, and at Mulberry street,
East Trenton, over the main canal.
At Mulberry street the old type of
sheer pole bridge was abandoned,
and the new structure is a solid, sub
5tantial balance bridge, This type
Of bridge is kept in place when turn
ed for the passage of boats by coun-
terpoise weights placed underneath
the shore end.
