A DISTRESSING AFFAIR
Aged Woman, Mrs. Jane Mclean,
Burned to Death at Morven Yestcr-
day.

Morven was the scene OF most dis
tressing affair yesterday when MRS
Jane Mclean, the aged mother or Mrs.
Julia Morrison was horribly burned
to death in her bed. Her daughter hau
left her about ten minutes to got
something for her to read ami return
ed to find the bed mass of flames
and the dead body Of her mother on
the floor behind the bed.
Mrs. Mclean, who was 81 years Of
age, was almost helpless, being con-
fined to her bed, desired some papers
or books to read and her daughter
had gone to nearby neighbor's 10 get
these for her. Shortly before leaving
Mrs. Morrison had lighted pipe for
her mother to smoke, but she had
finished before she left the room. 1t
is supposed that in handling the pipe
about the bed, coal of fire dropped
between the bed coverings and was not
noticed until it had gained some head
way and after Mrs Morrison was
away. The scene she found was horri-
flying in the extreme and one that
will linger in the minds of those VINO
witnessed it. The poor woman who was
well-nigh helpless, had literally rolled
from the burning bed clothing in fin
al effort to escape the terrible death
and had died on the floor before her
daughter could reach her.-W adesboro

SEVERED HEAD WITH AXE
Carpenter on Collier Abarenda Kills
Chief Officer

San Juan,> p R., February 90
Judge Dixon, carpenter on the Am
erican collier Abarenda killed Walter
Weichert, chief officer of the collier,
this afternoon. The crime was COM
mitted on board the vessel. Dixon
swung at Weichert with an axe and
completely severed his head. The at
tack was made just as Weichert was
walking away from the carpenters
bench where he had been talking
with Dixon. Weichert recently had
Dixon placed in irons on account Of
disoebdience of orders and this pro-
badly was the motive for the crime.
Dixon at once reported the murder
and asked the second officer to put him
in the ships bridge. A board of in
quiry has been appointed to investi-
gate the occurrence. The Abarenda
accompanied the fleet of American bat
tleships to Rio Janeiro and arrived
here four days ago from that port

Apprehension That Railroads Had En-
tered Into Agreement Tor Reduction
Is Groundfess.

Washington. February 1o.-Indus-
trial and financial circles have been
more or less concerned today over
the railroads Of the country have in
contemplation a general reduction in
the wages of their employees.
Such apprehension In practically
groundless- Information which has
reached the interstate commerce COM
mission and the officials of the gov
ernment indicates clearly that there
is no concerted action on the part OF
American railways to make general
changes In their wage scale. Instances
of proposed readiustment OF wage
scale are cited in the cases OF three
or four southern systems, the South
ern Railway, the Louisville and
Nashville, the Seaboard Air Line and
the Atlantic Coast Line being made
as practically the only roads in the
country which may be affected. 1t is
the intention of the officials of the
lines named to consider what their
employees think of the question OF re-
adjustment of some at least, of the
wage scales now in force with view
OF reducing their operating expenses,
which they regard as necessary. The
plans Of the officials have not been
worked cut yet, because it Is their
desire first, to present the situation
which confrodts them fairly and i'm
partially to their employees. 1t is eX-
pected that the employees may meet
them half way and no serious diff
fculty is anticipated. The proposition.
in a general way, will be to return TO
the wage scales which were in force
about year ago, at which time gen.
eral advances in the pay of men in
the operating departments Of the
railroads were made.
Assurances have been given by the
railway officials that they have no
disposition to impose any hardship
upon their employees and they will not
do so.
Chairman Knapp, of the interstate
commerce commission, who, by the
operation of the so-called Erdman law,
is made one Of the two members of
a board of mediation-ProfessOr Char
les P Neill, commissioner of labor,
being the Other-in accordance with
the suggestion contained in President
Rooseveit's letter to the interstate
commerce commission respecting the
railroads wage question is holding
himself in readiness to act under the
law whenever ne may be called upon
by one or the other Of the parties
to any wage controversy.
Chairman Knapp and Commissioner
Neill has adjusted successfully in the
past fifteen months several contro-
versies that have arisen between in
terstate carriers and their employees.
In each case their action has been
purely informal. They simply have
, threshed out the question with the
representatives of the employers and
of the employees and in each case have
succeeded in bringing them to a basis
of satisfactory understanding.
So far as the interstate commerce
commission is concerned and so far
as important railroad interests here
are aware, there is no cause for ap-
prehension respecting the wage ques-
lion on American railroads. Such
questions as have arisen in isolated
instances are not regarded as ground
for any general concern.

AN INFAMOUS PROCEEDING.
The Residence of Respectable Family
OF Augusta Searched by Officers for
Blockade Whiskey.
South Georgia Sees the Mistake

Deputy Collector of Interna. Reve-
nue A w. Wimberly, col. says he
was given a Tip" which yesterday
resulted i'm the search of the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs George Perry, at AL
Reynolds street, by federal, county
and municipal officers. Wimberly was
at hand during the search. and enter
cd the premises by side alley.
The search, IL was stated, was in
quest of contraband liquor and an
illict distillery. Every facility was af-
forded by Mr.. and Mrs. Perry to make
the search complete. Nothing was
found in the matter OF liquor or a
distillery.
The officers making the search was
United States Deputy Marshal Mur-
ray, United States Deputy Marshal
Whiteley, Sergeant Hatcher, Of the
Augusta police, and County Officer
Gay.
Those who saw the search in pro-
gress tell reporters that an intense
sensation was provoked, crowd
gathered and excitement prevail
ed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Perry have lived III
neighborhood for years. Mr.. Perry is.
by trade, a blacksmith. Mr.. and Mrs.
Perry are quiet, hardworking people.
enjoying the highest respect, esteem
and confidence of their neighbors.
To reporters yesterday and last
night there was the sharpest criticism
of the act of the search by the people
of the neighborhood. They pronounc-
ed it outrageous, blunder or no blum
der Neighbors could not imagine the
excuse for it-could not imagine on
what any Tip" involving Mr.. and
Mrs. Perry is an illicit liquor transac-
ton could be based. Mr.. and Mrs.
Perry are so we'll regarded that the
suggestion of such offense by them
a against Law could not be dreamed of
by those who have lived next door to
them for years.
Mr. Perry had been out Of work for
a short while. The family consists of
Mr.. Perry, Mrs. Perry and three boys,
the eldest about nineteen years of
age. Mrs Perry is known as a church
worker and her antagonism to the iq-
uor traffic Is asserted by friends and
neighbors.
Discussing the occurrence to a
Chronicle reporter last night, Mrs.
Perry said: Il have been confined to
my room for nearly six weeks. When
the officers came here with that mob
yesterday and stated to me that my
house was to be searched for whiskey,
