WORK OF TRAIN WREcKERS.
Rails Were Drawn and Flyer Tumbled
from High Trestle.


Train No. 20, one Of the Southern
Pacific coast line train, was wrecked
at West Glendale, ten miles north OF
Los Angeles, at 1890 Wednesday
morning.
The wreck was the deliberate work
of train wreckers. One man was kill
ed and twenty-five injured, three prob
ably fatally. In accomplishing the
wreck of the train, a devilish ingenui-
ty had been exercised. At a point on
a trestle over the Arroyo Seco, the
fish plates and bolts of two connect
ing rails had been removed, and IN
the apertures, where the bolts were
taken. strands of heavy wire were fas-
tened at the end of each raik
1t was evident that some person had
hidden on hillside close to the tres
tie, had pulled the wire as the train
approached and spread the rails out
ward toward the edge of the trestle.

cRUsHERS' ASSOCIATION
OF Georgia to Meet at Atlantic Beach,
Fla. in Annual Convention.

Hon. J. A. Aycock, president of
the Georgia Crushers' Association,
will, from his home in Carrollton, Ga,
in a few days, issue a call for this
association to meet in annual conven-
ton at Atlantic Beach, Fla, on June
"a and 25.
1t has been the custom Of this as
sociation to meet each year at Lithia
Springs, Ca, but this year the dele
gates listened to the call of the waves
and voted for the Atlantic ocean re-
sort.
During the year which is drawing
to a close, great progress has been
made in the association, and this will
be shown in the annual reports OF
the officers at this meeting.
An especially strong feature which
is proposed for the meeting will be
an address by DR.. George Brown of
Atlanta, president of the Anti-Tuber-
culosis League of America, in watch
he will go into details concerning his
recent investigations whereby he has
proved the efficacy of cotton seed Oil
over cod liver oil as an emulsion to
be used in the treatment OF consumD-
tion
Another will be an article by Hon.
J. L. Benton of Monticello, Ga, for
merly secretary OF this ASSOCIATION,
but who is now in Europe as Unit
ed States government expert on cotton
seed oil and its by-products, who Will
write an interesting article on his in
vesigations in that country for this
southern product.
1t is expected that he will deal es-
pecially with the fact that the French
chamber of deputies has decided to
suspend the bill, which puts prohib-
tive tariff on this commodity, because
it competes with olive oil, a French
product.
This year the association will have,
as its guest, the president of the Inter
state Cotton Seed Crushers' Assocla-
ton, who is L. A. Ransom of Atlanta,
who was elected to; this honor at the
annual meeting of the association at
Jamestown.
The convention will be in session
for two days, during which the Geor-
gia rules will be made to conform to
those being adopted by the Interstate
Association. Large delegations of cot
ton seed oil manufacturers from At
lanta, Columbus, Macon, Augusta Sa-
vannah, Athens, Albany, Rome, Way
cross and LaGrange will be in attend
ance upon this meeting. There are
105 oil mills in Georgia and each
of these is to be represented at this
meeting.

Mayor Wins Rate Fight.

Mayor Rhett of Charleston won his
fight against the Atlantic Coast Line
for a reduction OF the passenger fare
to and return from Richmond for the
confederate reunion. Recently when
the rates were announced, Mayor
Rhett, who had been giving close at
tention to the determinations practic-
ed by the roads against Charleston,
discovered that the quoted rate for
Charleston showed an excess of S1.4O
over the mileage and he took the mat
ter up with the officials.
After a few days the mayor was
informed by President Emerson that
a mistake had occurred in the Charles
ton rate and it should be $685., which
still was IS cents in excess, accord
ing to the mayors figures, and upon
further protest the railroads reduced
the fare further, quoting rate OF
$500. Charleston sent good delega-
ton TO Richmond

 At such times Nature, the wisest and best of doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old fam fly remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over century.

Grottoes and eaverns are used more or less as shelters by primitive peo- pies and thus inhabited caves are of course most frequent in Africa A con- siderable number of natives make their homes in caves along the south ern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar apd in some of those caves are found the polished stones and arrow heads Of the stone age. Troglodyte villages are frequent in the Tebessa territory of Algeria, one of which. at Djeurf, 250 feet above the gorge of the Wadi Hallail. Is reached by steps cut in tho rock.
 The inhabitants of the Tunisian Island of Galite are cave dwellers, their habitations being grottoes which they have dug out of the limestone, or ancient burial caverns that they have enlarged. The subterranean villages of Matmata and of Medennie, hewn out of the rock, are in southern Tunisia.
