mining. The family residence is at
55J Ouray avenue. The young man
was not married. The family has
resided in Grand junction for mauy
wears and no young man in Grand
junction was held in higher regard
or had more friends than Edward lit
mes. His character was above re-

MEXICANS TERR0RlZED.
Frequent Earthquak. Shocks Cause
Stampede OF re0ple From Large
Section OF New Mexlco.

A special from Albuquerque, New
Mexico, says: Refugees in large num-
bers are arriving in the city from
Socorro, where great damage has been
wrought by a succession OF destruc-
tive earthquakes since July 2. In that
time not an hour has passed without
one or more Quakes. The center OF
disturbance is a zone 30 miles long
by about 10 miles wide, running from
the Ladrone mountains southeast
through SocorrO, San Antonio and
San Marcial. This side of the belt
the shocks have been hardly felt.
Each one is preceded by loud rumb-
ling like heavy thunder, which can
be heard approaching from the north
west before it reaches Socorro. People
are leaving Socorro on every train,
and those who cannot leave on trains
are leaving by wagons. About two
thousand people are camping out in
tents, and no one dares to so in
doors. Practically every residence and
business block in the town has been
irreparably damaged. There has been
much distress among the people who
are camping in the open, as heavy
rains have fallen in the last two
days, one being the heaviest for fifty
years.
Most of the people are going to FL
Paso, although many are going to Al
buquerque and Santa Fe.
The shocks generally occur as short,
sharp jerks, the, ground seeming TO
slip violently. 1t is believed that the
adjustment of rock strata in the rug
ged Ladrones and Magdalena noun
tains is the cause of the continued
shocks.
Provisions are growing scarce, and
real distress is feared among the ref
ygees.
THE noise and the quakes are
frightful" said Mrs. J. J. Lesson, a
refugee from Socorro. 81 have expe-
rienced earthquakes in Los Angeles
and San Francisco, bat never anything
as terrible as these prolonged jerk
ings of the earth at Soccoro. Water
placed in a bowl will show contin-
uous vibrations between the greater
shocks, showing that the earth is new
err still. Not a house in town is safe
to enter, and chimneys and walls
topple with each recurring tremor."
A careful search of the lava fields
to the southwest Of the city, have
failed to reveal any new hot springs
or evidence of volcanic action report
ed Thursday The entire property
damage at Socorro will not exceed
$4,000, as only the old adobe houses
have suffered. In surrounding towns
the property damage is also slight,
owing to the cheap character Of the
buildings affected and the absence Of
costly structures.

ANOTHER DEAL
. BY SOUTHERN
Line Between Atlanta and Macon
Will Be Double Tracked.
FOR USE OF COAST LINE
In Making Change Line Will Be Large
; lY Rebuilt, Eliminating Curves and
Shortening Route.

A Washington dispatch is as fol.
VS.: 1t is said among those who are
close touch with the headquarters
the Southern railway that it has
en- decided to double track the
uthern line between Atlanta and
ICON, Ca, and further that this
.. decision has been reached as the re-
z suit of an agreement with the Allan
tic Coast Line system, by which traf-
fc arrangements have been made CIV
ing the Coast Line entrance into At
lanta from Macon over the South
ern.
1t will be recalled that some months
ago il was announced that the Allan
tic Coast Line was then negotiating
for entrance into Atlanta from Macon,
after it had definitely secured it's title
TO the Macon, Dublin and Savannah,
rom Macon to Vidalia.
Since then it seems that the Coast
ne has been moving definitely to-
rds establishing the connection be-
cen Vidalia and Savannah, thus
lpleting the through route by the
ansion of the old Macon, Dublin
Savannah to Savannah.
g Jew days ago the announcement
tmade that application for char
had been asked at the Office Of
secretary of state of Georgia for
building of the link between vi
liza and Fleming, the extension pass
through Reidsville, GlennEille and
tnewille and striking the main line
Coast Line at Fleming, some
miles west Of Savannah.
G ARRANGEMENTS have about been COM
leted and actual work will begin very
soon. This will give the Atlantic
Coast Line direct through route
from Atlanta to Savannah, and if
he traffic arrangement with the
Southern is effected, as announced,
! he Coast Line will meet the Louis
lille and Nashville syste min Atlanta
| %, er the double-tracked Southern be-
tween Macon and Atlanta.
The Louisville and Nashville sys-
tenn is owned by the Coast Line, and
it has been definitely known for some
months that the Coast Line had de-
termined to establish connection be-
tween the two properties at Atlanta.
It is said that had arrangements
not been effeeted between the South
ern and the Coast Line from Macon
to Atlanta, the latter system woHld
have built it's own line into Atlanta.
Much Of the SoutheTBs line be-
tween Macon and Atlanta will be re-
built in the construction Of the dOu-
ble-track system Many curves will
be taken cut, and there viii be con-
siderable changes in the grades. The
line will be made in every way a
perfect one, with no grade exceeding
one per cent and with the distance
between Atlanta and Macon shorten
ed probably three miles, making it
25 miles instead Of IS miles as now
With this direct line from Atlanta
10 Savannah the Coast Line will have
p mileage into Savannah somewhat
shorter than that of the Central rail-
~oad.
