SAW BODIES OF WOMEN
KILLED IN THE WRECK
Badly MdngIed By Wheels
of Gar.

Mr. Boyce Miller of Columbus was
in Americus yesterday upon business
and gave a graphic description of the
terrible fatality there the day before
wherein the lives Of two women were
crushed out beneath the grinding
wheels when Central train collided
with a trolley car.
Mr.. Miller was at the scene of acct
dent a few minutes thereafter, though
not a witness to the collision. The
bodies of the women were badly man
gled.
The victims We're Mrs. Charles
Strickland and Mrs A. A. Monroe.
The accident occurred at Twelfth
street and Second avenue, where the
Atlanta division of the Central ailway
crosses the tracks of the street rail-
way Companys line from North High
lands
A switching engine pushing four
undertaken cars struck the street
car amidship demolishing it, There
were three ladies aboard the car, two
of whom were killed, while the other
was badly injured. All the male pas
sengers escaped by reaping off as they
saw the freight train
Mrs. Monroe slipped and fell as she
reached the earth and a second later
the electric car was hurled upon her,
pinning her to the earth.
Mrs Strickland saw the other pas
sengers Ieaping wildly for safety and
made desperate effort to do likewise,
but slipped on the running board and
fell She was too late to get out of
the way of the freight car, which ran
over her, horribly mangling the body
The crews of the freight train and
trolley car were alike arrested and
locked up, but later were released on
bail. Those arrested were: York
Fleming, negro fireman; Palmer, ne
gro flagman; John Proctor engineer;
Sam Hodge, conductor switching
crew; w. L. Bentley, mOtorman, and
]. c. Chandler, conductor of the street
car.
Joe Palmer, the negro who it is said
signalled the switcher to proceed and
thereby was largely to blame for the
accident, ran away Immediately after
it occurred and was arrested some
time later.

MASTER BERYL RUBINSTEIN
TO REPEAT CONCERT
win Play Again at Miss Bells Studio
Friday Night.

Beryl Rubinstein. the wonderful
child pianist, who so delighted the
audience to hear him on Tuesday
might, will appear again at Miss Bells
studio, on tomorrow night. The late
ness of the announcement of his ar
rival in the city Tuesday lead to
many not being acquainted with his
presence and the fact that he would
give a recital here. Master Rubinstein
is clearly one of the musical prodigies
of the world today and no one in the
slightest interested in music can af-
ford to miss the opportunity to hear
him. Wherever he has played he has
received ovations. Coming with strik-
ing endorsements, presenting a pro-
gram that is remarkable in its variety
and scope, he should be greeted to-
morrow night by crowded house.

SIMMONS HOME HAS
BEN LEASED.
1t Will Be Girls DOrmitory
For College.

The residence of Mrs L. G.. Sim
mons. out on Fielder street, an exceed
ingly attractive propertyis to be Ieas-
ed and will become the girls dormi-
tory of the Third District Agricultural
College.
Yesterday the Executive Committee
of the Trustees of the college met for
the consideration of several important
matters of business affecting the insti-
tuition
The committee is composed of
Messrs. ]. p. Heard, e. l.. Bridges and
Mr.. Matthews.
After carefully considering the sit
uation at the college and the impera-
tive need for dormitory for the
girls now attending the school, as
well as for those who would become
pupils there if proper accommodations
were to be had, the committee decided
to appoint a local committee, COM
posed of Messrs. Wheatley, Collum and
D
Simmons for five years occupancy of
her home, abutting the college
grounds, for that purpose.
The lease will be prepared and
signed at once and the college will
enter into possession of the property
The Simmons house, not only by
reason of its location, but by it's spaci-
BUSINESS and the large grounds about
it, is admirably adapted for the pur-
pose for which it is to be leased. AS
soon as it is turned over to the college
the girls now domiciled in the main
dormitory will be transferred to the
new home. where the matron will be
likewise installed. Notice will also be
sent out that there are now facilities
for more girls and it is not unlikely
that there will be immediate responses
from several counties, so well estab-
lished is the reputation of the Third
District College.
There are about five acres OF
ground connected with the Simmons
home, it is understood, which can be
worked to advantage. The large gar
den about the residence will give the
girls an opportunity to develop their
love for flowers and instil in them the
desire for the adornment of the home
grounds
At the meeting of the committee
yesterday it was also decided to lease
one hundred acres, of the least de-
sirable part of the college farm, to
the Country Club of Sumter County,
which proposes to erect club house,
lay out golf links, put in lawn tennis
courts, and otherwise make it a place
of recreation for the members of the
club and their friends.
The lease will also probably be per-
fected at once. Nothing has been done
by the club of late, it being necessary
for it to wait until the college author
tiles had acted definitely with regard
to the lease of the land in question for
a long term of years. 1t is probable
that definite steps will be Immediately
taken, when the lease is signed. to-
ward the erection of the club house.

WITH GRUBBING
HOE DUG INTO THE SAFE
Bold Robbery Was Committed at
Preston.

Parties in Americus yesterday from
Preston reported an unusual and
daring safe robbery there during the
early hours of morning. The cracks
man, evidently an amateur or punk
beginner, took steel pick, or grub
bing hoe, from the stock of goods and
with this crude Jimmy dug into the
side of the iron safe. Thirty dollars
in cash and three pistols were missed
when the wrecked safe was inspected
Yesterday morning One thousand dol
lars in currency had been taken from
the safe by the owner only a few
hours before and put in bank, it is
said, and the cracksmen, who may
have known the money had been there,
missed it only by that narrow margin
of time.

The Union Revival.
The third week of Che reviv;

The third week of the revival
meetings has gone, and with
each week the interest has in
Gsased. The people which have
gathered from night to night in
the Methodist church, and which
have on several occasions filled
the house, have listened to some
of the plainest preaching that
was ever heard in Baxter Springs.
Rev. Mr.. Mason, who is called
the Sam Jones of Kansas, hand
les things without gloves. He is
emphatic in his denunciation of
sin, and speaks in plainest terms
of hell and damnation for the I'M
saved, as we'll as of heaven and
reward for the saved. He is de-
cidedly thourough in his meth
DDS, he does not believe in get
ting right with God without a
conversion of which no man needs
to be told, as he himself will be
concious thereof. On last Sum
day night the Methodist church
was filled to its utmost capacity,
the interest was at high water
mark. AT the close of the ser
mon several persons came for
ward. some to renew their rela-
tion with God, others to seek the
Lord Jesus Christ in pardon, and
some to present themselves for
more devoted service. One fea-
ture Of great attraction in the
meetings has been special singing
by the male quartet from qalena,
and on one night by a ladies
quartet. On last Saturday and
Sunday the special singing was
furnished By the Misses Rowe of
Columbus. The meetings con-
tinue every night this week.

jacent thereto have been sold for
as high as $500 per acre. Re-
peated efforts have been made to
get light on the manner of this
sale, by which the Department
of the Interior, through its Indi-
an Office, delivered a deed to the
lands belonging to the Charles
Bluejacket heirs to an employee
of the Department of Justice, at
a ridiculously low price. How
it were possible for the govern
ment appraiser to allow his
judgement to be brought to such
a condition as to put an appraise-
ment on this valuable land so
any one could obtain it for so
low a price as SIS per acre?
When was this appraisement
made? What amount was the
land appraised at? or whether
any appraisement was ever made?
And last but not least i'm
portant, how an employee of the
government could bring himself
to, so far forget his connection
with the government service, as
to allow himself to procure a
deed for the land from the heirs
of a deceased Indian, at price
so much below the value of same?
When is restitution to be made
to the heirs? And what method
has been adopted to secure to the
heirs a fair price for their lands2
All these are facts which to date
have been kept secret, no doubt
the reason must be ample suf-
ficient to justify keeping the
community in the dark, other
wise the Indian department,
which is responsible for such a
proceeding, would have made
answer ere this. If there be
nothing to hide, let the public
have all the facts and if there
has been collision and dishonest
work done, let these parties suf-
fer who have been instrumental
in the Preparation of such a
Great Wrong. Also another
question presents itself for an
open and frank answer By the

PRESERVING Railroad Ties.

Consul w. D. O'Shaughnessy Of
Aguascalientes writes concerning the
successful treatment of railroad ties
in Mexico:
THE local tie-treating plant of the
Mexican Central railroad has reached
an output of $500 ties a day, making
1t one Of the largest concerns of it's
kind in the world. The local plant is
the first in the history of railway op.

ment of ties by the Ebano Oil process.
1t Is expected that the treatment will
prolong the life of each tie from 8 to
IL years.
The process consists Of placing the
ties In huge cylinders, which are then
filed with oil and subjected to heat
and pressure. After seven hours the
oil Is forced out of the cylinders and
the ties removed. The average tie
treated here absorbs about three gal.
Ions of oil, which contains a large
amount of solid matter, and It Is this,
after being forced into the wood, that
acts as a preventative. The average
penetration into pine ties is about
two inches; in harder woods 1t is less;
but in all cases the oil protects them
from the water, and will keep out
moisture for years. The cost of the
new treatment is said to be much less
than the old treatment of zinc chic.

THE TREE.
Curious Superstitions Regarding tho
I%nfIuenne of the Elder.

%Influenne of the Elder.
Country people speak Of the elder
tree as The Witches Tree" and plant
keep off witches. They also say that
the roots should never come near a
well, still less grow into it, or the
water will b espoilt. Evelyn's opinion
was also unfavorable. He says: Il
do by no means commend the scent Of
it which is very noxious to the air.
1--WE learn from Biesius that a GER
tain house in Spain, seated among
many elder trees, diseased and killed
nealy all its inhabitants, which, when
at last they were grubbed up, became
a very healthy and wholesome place"
Cattle scarcely touch the elder, and
the mole is driven away by the scent.
Carriers often place branches on their
horses heads to keep off flies. Nothing
will grow we'll in the company Of the
elder, and when it has been removed
and all its roots carefully grubbed up
it is some few years before the ground
becomes perfectly sweet and good
for anything.
The berries, besides feeding the
birds, make excellent country wine,
delicious with soda water in summer
or taken hot in winter; the wood Is
particularly good for skewers and the
curious Jews red fungus grows on
elder stumps. A species Of elder in the
Tyrol Is covered with beautiful scarlet
berries.

WILL HAVE NO STEAM LINES.
Sweden Probably to Be First Country
in the World to EIectrify All
Railroads.

Sweden will probably be the first
locomotives on all it's railroads. For
Sweden has no coal of its own and
has to import all that it uses.
Sweden began in 1906 to experiment
with electric traction on it's railroads.
Electric motors were tried first on a
small stretch of road, and the results
were so satisfactory that it has been
decided to electrify all the lines. The
government has bought several large
water falls, which will furnish the
power; five central hydro-electric sta.
tons are to be established for the OPP
Grafton of a first section of about 1000
kilometers, and secondary stations, sit.
uated about twenty miles apart, will
send the motive power in two direC.
tions in order that any point on the
system may receive power from two
different stations. These generating
stations will also supply motive power
direct to factories, the motors of which
are now run by engines burning petro.
leum in their furnaces.
The electric motors aye to run at
GO kilometers an hour for express
trains and As kilometers for way
trains, which is a little more rapid
than the speed at which the trains run
to-day.
The Swedish engineers calculate
that the electriication of these 1000
kilometers of railway will by 1920 eff.
feet a saving of about $1,000 a year
in the operation of the roads.
