Snake ranch. She does everything in her power to harass the construction gang of the railroad company. She imprisons the president of the road and his secretary and also John Ashby in her smoke house, but they are later released. In spite of the unique positions which they occupy the two young people, Miss Houston and John Ashby have managed to fall in love. Ashby is shot by Miss Houston's s foreman in a spirit of jealousy and this event brings affairs to a crisis. Ashby Is not fatally wounded, but Miss Houston realizes that he will not be able to finish the road in the specified time and thus win his promised promotion. Casting aside her personal feelings in the matter, she completes the road across her ranch in Ashby's name and the play ends with the two lovers happily united.
 There Is no villain in the play, but there are some moments of real excite ment and some genuine pathos. The conn edy, however. predominates. The rugged characters of ranch in the southwest have been faithfully reproduced by the author of the play and the various parts will be carefully rendered by the mems bers of the Baldwin Melville company. The play will be carefully staged under the personal direction of Walter S. Bald win. Scenic artists have been engaged all this week in painting new scenery for the play. -4
 The usual matinees will be given on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. "The Love Route" promises to be even more popular with local theatre-goers than '.The Man on the Box"

 The production for the opening week will be "The Money Maker" with Fred Wayne, an inimitable comedian, in the title role. Wayne is a funny comedian, and he can make anybody laugh. He has some bright lines and he speaks them in bright way. Wayne will fur nish the bulk of the amusement with his drollery and comedy. He will not have to shoulder the whole burden of making the people laugh, as there are others in the company who can tickle the audience. The presence of the well trained and pretty chorus on the stage is always a pleasure to the audience.
 Here Is what an Augusta paper con- tained after the opening performance of ''The Money Maker"
 If the work of last night at the Casino is kept up the summer theatre-goers of Augusta are promised such a Casino season as they have never had before.
 The Wayne Musical Comedy company is a high-class attraction in every sense of the word. The unique and rather ridiculous plot of the show was such IS to bring laughter intermixed with ap- plause almost continuously. The work of some of the cast was exceptional par ticularly that of MT. Fred Wayne in his dual part of Archibald Rennick al Freddy MT. Frank Allworth the cupid smitten Frenchman, and MT. Gus tan Allworth as Professor Wise. The work of the soubrette, Miss Marshall, was good, her dancing proving quite an

attractive feature. The crowning suo- cess of the show is the chorus and the excellent selection of musical numbers. The chorus was very large for a sum- mer show. and as a whole was one of the prettiest lot of girls which has been seen on an Augusta stage. The chorus contains three of Kiralfys English ballet, and one of the number, Miss Kittie Fanchonetti, is from Weber's Music hall and is one of the original Bijou Comedy company girls. Her singing of Herman" assisted by the chorus, was fine. Probably the most enjoyable feat ure of the evening was the swinging number in which the entire chorus took part, and owing to the continued ap- plause will be repeated tonight. The singing of Miss Kirk when she rendered Bye Bye, Dearie," was good, in spite of the fact that she seemed to be suffer- ing from slight nervousness. Her sing Ing should prove to be one of the enjoy able features of the week.
 Manager Cohen was complimented by quite a number of the patrons as they passed out and with Fred Wayne's 8 company as an opener he has made good his promise to give Augusta a great Ga siho season, provided this grade of att fractions is continued.

Business of EVsry Kind Is Com p|ste|y Para|yzed After
 Sect Storm
SHUT OFF FROM WORLD
 NEARLY 1 WHOLE DAY
Wire Communication Is Established With Birmingham From Small
 Station Near the oity and
 Messengers at Work.

Atlanta, Ga, Via Howells Station, Ga,, February 1O.-The ice king made his ap- pearance in Atlanta yesterday and with one mighty sweep tore into shreds every bit of the commercial and social activities of the city.
 Every nook, every corner in the town was touched by the sheet of frozen water; communication with the entire world was shut off; the street cars were compelled to stop and traffic of all sorts was dis continued; long distance telephone con nections and telegraph wires were out of use; and in addition the courts, the schools and many places of business had to stop work for the day.
 The blizzard advanced Sunday withou! a word of warning and on Monday morn- ing the people of Atlanta were forced to face one huge scene of wreckage. Wires were down, streets were covered with a sheet of ice. trees were hang ing over, breaking, falling on the side walks and trolley lines, the electric cur rents were ordered shut off, the street cars were put out of business and every body had to walk; the fire department W dS ldIluiSdppCos anu CfOiS NhSSA OA ohH' mess refused to turn an inch.
 Not until o'clock this evening was it possible to secure any wire communica- ton with the outside world. At that time the Western Union discovered that Birmingham could be reached from How els Station, five miles from Atlanta, on the Seaboard Air Line. Linesmen and telegraphers were rushed to this point on the first train out and In a short time the Associated Press was connected with its regular south wire to New Orleans, and the Western Union established an outlet. Hack service was established and messengers were constantly on the way back and forth with the first news from the outside world since Sunday night
 No casualties have been reported out side of a number of people being struck by ice falling from overhead wires and trees.
 Only one fire alarm was turned in dur ing the day and this one proved costly to the city While making a run to a fire this afternoon pole crashed across a hose wagon on Peachtree street. The occupants escaped, but the wagon is a wreck.

No fatalities are reported. Pontoons in the government dredge fleet in the lower bay were blown across the bay and beached on the west side. The schooner Laura c. was driven ashore and was not gotten off until today, being up and dry. A~barge on the east shore of the liver across from this city was blown from its moorings and driven to the wharf. It did no damage. Reports from the lower bay and outer bar are that the sea was terrific Sunday and Sunday night
 and died down this morning, although the wind subsded at midnight Sunday night

Heavy Sleet Storm.

Montgomery, February IDA heavy sleet storm is reported east of Opelika, as a result of which wires are down in that direction. Western Union, Postal and long distance connection was cut off all morning and repair gangs rushed out from nearest stations The Western rail- way had a wire to Lagrange, Ga., part of the morning, but that has been unre- liable further than Opelika. The Postal is accepting business for Atlanta by mail only. 1t was reported also that Colum- bus, Ga, Is cut off from Atlanta, which seems to be in the center of the trouble. As communication is cut all the way around 1t is impossible tc tell how bad the storm Is.
 The fast Atlanta train is three hours late, held behind the trouble. and as q matter of fact, may not be in until late in the evening.

Two of the mob were shot by the military

 The mob began to assemble here be- fore daylight, coming into town Tn wagons on horseback and walking. It's ranks included some of the most prom inent farmers in Lincoln county es- pecially in the neighborhood of Ruth, where the assault by the negro is al- legged to have occurred.
