dred Are Injured.

Jellico. Tenn. Sept. 21.-Twelve
deaths, the injury of scores of other
persons and 500, 600 dollars damage to
property We're caused here today, when
a carload of dynamite standing on a
track near the Southern Railway de-
pot exploded with a report that was
heard for 20 miles. Buildings We're
shattered in the business section of the
town and nearly every piece of glass
within a radius of one mile Of the
scene was broken.
The explosion occurred at 3 o'clock
this morning. The freight car con-
tanning $50 boxes of 1000 pounds of high
explosives consigned to the Rand Pow
der Co at Clearfield, Tenn. Two causes
are assigned for the explosion. One is
that three parties We're shooting at a
mark on the car and that bullet en-
tered the car and caused the explosion.
The other is that while the car was
standing on a side track, carload of
pig iron was switched against it and
that the impact caused the explosion.
People here are divided as to the the
cries. some going 50 far as to say that
they actually saw the men firing at the
car with Ii rifle.
Jallico is on the kentucky
line. about 80 miles from Knoxville. the
main business portion of the town be-
ing on the Tennessee side. Two lines
of railroad, the Southern and the Louis

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful IL IL in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs nothing TO Try.

Nearly everybody knows that Char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier In nature. but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans

Charcoal is a remedy that the more

drug at all. but simply absOrbs the gases
and impurities always present IN the
stomach ard intestines and carries them
out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions

COCHRAN REPLIES
IN PATROL CASE

To the Editor of The Times
In your article headed, Night Watch
men and Fire Patrol" of yesterday
appears a statement from Mr. r. +. An
dFews. president of the Washington Hire
Patrol Company. that reflects directly
ON me therefore / ask for correction.
MI. Andrews is quoted as saying:
we notice that in some of the papers
the individual watchmeR object 20 the
new company-they certainly can have
no objections as long as they discharge
their duties.
The Night Watchmen's Association.
recently objected 20 the new company
on the ground that II makes one man
do the duty OF seven or eight and pa
troll beats which it would ordinarily re-
quire seven or eight men TO patrol. This
is absolutely untrue; the new company
not only does not do anything of the
kind. but il never viii do anything OF
this character
We have no quarrel with the old in
dividUal watchmen. bat we seriously
object 10 their making, or having any
one Of their representatives make state
meuts which are Incorrect. We want
lair competition and we ask for no Ia
Vors-our service shall speak for us
The objections referred 10 were made
10y me and me alone Tor the sole in
Lerest Of the Individual WaJChmeu. Civ
ing names and facts To substantaJe my
statement, / explained 10 the District
Commissioners that we had no ObJec-
tons whatsoever TO the WatChmen of
this patrol company being given police
authority, bat We did object 10 them
being given authority over eight OF the
Old WaJchmen's beats. as is now done
! also insisted that we did not object 10
them having one man on each one of
our beats but we did object to four men
being commissioned 20 cover fifteen
beats. as This company was having
done; tle reason Is quite apparent The
consequence OF such being thai one
fourth the service is rendered by the
fire patrol as by the old watchmen' s
system, now in effect.
II Is rot the intention of the Night
WatchmCu's Association to antagoaize
the business men of this city, nor Mir.
Andrews, nor am I given 10 making
statements Of any nature that are not
plain, true facts.
