The Hood 81 Last Week.

Ninety feet of railroad track was
washed out about a mile north OF this
station near what is called Butterfield
lodges last week Wednesday 80 that
traffic was delayed north OF here till
about noon, and with the wreck south
and not one engine in between there was
no means Of conveying the injured to a
hospital till afternoon.
Engineer Burt Smith, who was serious
ly burned in the railroad accident lust
south Of the state fish hatchery and was
taken to Heaton hospital, Montpelier, is
reported little more comfortable, vet
not out of danger because Of the internal
burns caused by inhaling steam.
The water was very high at the old
pond just south of the village, a part Of
last week, so that teams were unable to
pass and had to 60 over the hill
Wednesday morning, when help was
summoned from this place to the wreck
south OF here, they could not get down
the track without rubber boots and a
hand car load went down, including DR..
Howard and Mrs. Howard, who was 9
nurse. However, the water lowered rn-
pidly for q little time in the morning and
as the news spread more people who were
DESTROYS to go to the scene were able to
pass the high water mark by walking
rails. Two highway bridges were float
ing near hornet hill.
Joseph Howe and Perry Dickinson
were unable to reach the tale mills until
Monday because q 34-ft. bridge had been
washed out Just south of the White

Obituary.
Died, April 10, after few days illness
Va ~ RhOAA ASNNAs AAdA w
Doath has again visited this community
and has taken from the activities Of life a
much respected and honored citizen.
Paul Wagner was a kind husband and
loving father. He was always ready to
do kind act when anyone was in trou-
bic and OF him it may well be said, the
world could better have spared others
than he.
Paul Wagner was born in Georgia, VT,
in 1850. He came to Braintree II years
ago, where he has made his home ever
since. He left q wife, two sons and two
Ave brothers, one sister, to
mourn bis loss. The deceased was SO
years, months and 10 days OF age.
The funeral was held at his late home
Monday morning, Rev. Fraser Metzger
officiating. The bearers were four broth
ers OF the deceased. The remains were
laid at rest in Randolph cemetery. The
floral tributes were beautiful, showing
the high esteem in which the deceased
was held.
oh, father, thy gentle voice is hushed,
Thy worn, true heart STILL
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Ia resting deaths cold child.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast
We have kissed thy marble brow;
And In our aching hearts know
We have no father now.

TO ASK LEG. FOR $393,OOO
HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITU.
TIONS OF GEORGIA WANT
WADS OF SPONDULIX.

ATLANTA, IGa.-The educational
institutions of Georgia, outside of the
common schools, are going to ask for
more money for maintenance this
year than they have had heretofore,
in addition to which some of them
will also ask special appropriations
for new buildings, repairs and i'm
provements.
The Georgia School of Technolo-
gy, which has heretofore had $780,
600 a year for maintenance, wants
this year $4,000 besides a special
appropriation of $4,000 for a new
building.
The State College of Agriculture
at Athens wants to increase its main
tenance appropriation from $4,000
to 100000. 1t is not asking for any
special appropriations, but the agri-
cultural schools of the state which
are adjuncts, so to speak, of this in
stitution, will probably make effort
also to secure increased maintenance
funds.
The State Normal School at Ath-
ems wants $4,000 maintenance fund
this year, an increase of $4,000, and
also a special appropriation of $685.
600 for new recitation building, of
which it is greatly in need.
The Georgia Normal and Indus
trial College at Milledgeville for
girls wants $4,000 maintenance this
year, an increase of $4,000, and a
special appropriation of $4,000 for
new buildings and equipment.
The North Georgia Agricultural
College at Dahlonega asks for no in
crease, but simply its usual mainte-
nance appropriation of $4,000.
The University of Georgia proper,
at Athens, wants S42,500 mainte-
nance, an increase of $40, 900, and in
special bills asks $4,000 for a heat
ing plant and $4,000 for dairy equip
ment.
There is asked for the summer
school at the university the usual
IS, 900, and for the farmers insti-
tutes the same appropriation of ST.
500.
The total asked for maintenance
of these institutions is $283,500, an
increase of $4,000 over last year.
The total asked for special pur-
poses, including new buildings, equip
ment and repairs is $4,000, or for
the high educational institutions a
grand total of $393,500.

WHY WASN'T HILLYER FIRED?
He Voted Contrary to the Platform
on Which He Was Nominated

'oUeu contrary to the Platform
on Which He Was Nominated,
From the savannah News.
II the legislature should annrove

sQspend4ng Railroad Commissioner

guided in his official action by the
port rates declaration of the Macon
tiatIorm what action would it feel
IKE taking in respect to Railroad
commissioner Hillyer2 Commission
er Ei1lIyer was elected on the Atlanta
platform. 1t was we'll understood
that that platform was against mort
rates. The men who shaped it were
against it, and so was the candidate
Iof governor who stood upon it. Mr..
brown was the candidate for govern
OF on that platform, and in the pre-
Vlous campaign he had written strong
letters against the declaration for
port rates ia the Macon platform.
H. therefore, the legislature thinks
mat Mr.. MeLendon should be re-
moved from the railroad commission
because be failed to- stand up to the
declaration of the platform on which
ne was elected it ought, in order to
De consistent, take steps for the re-
moval OF Commissioner lHTllyer, who
voted Tor port rates.
And what about Ex-Governor
Smiths attitude? II fer consisten-
cy's sake he removed Mr.. McLendon
SHOULDN'T he also have removed Com
missioner Hillyer? If he insisted
that Mr.. McLendon should have
voted for port rates because they
were called for by the Macon plat
form shouldn't he also have suspend
ed Judge Hillyer for not obeying the
Atlanta platform, the platform on
which he was elected? 1t looks a
little that way.
In the Atlanta platform the peo-
pie reversed themselves in respect
to port rates. Shouldn't the govern
or have taken notice of that fact?
And, if so, should he not have called
Judge Hillyer to account for not
complying with the platform on
which he was elected.

BALLOON ABLAzE UP IN AIR
Pilot James Moore Is Dying, and
Aged Spectator Was Fatally Hurt
in Rush Of OnIOOkers.

REDDING. CaT-During an as
cension this afternoon the balloon
America caught fire and Capt. James
Moore, the aeronaut, was probably
fatally injured.
The accident was witnessed by sew
eral thousand spectators. Besides
Capt. Moore Milton Mygatt, by
stander, was fatally hurt.
Several spectators were knocked
down and severely hurt when the i'm
mense crowd made a rush to get
away from the Scene. Mygatt, who
is 80 years old, was thrown to the
ground with such force by the ex-
plosion that he sustained a fractured
hip. Neither he nor Capt. Moore is
expected to recover.
Capt. Moore was making the first
of three ascensions of flights that he
had contracted to make here. At
tached to the huge gas bag was a
framework carrying a small engine
which furnished the power for the
propeller. The balloon, dirigible,
was about fifty feet above the
ground when the revolving propeller
caught in the bag and tore a huge
hole IN the covering, from which
volumes of gas poured out.
Before the aeronaut could stop the
engine or drop from the basket the
gas ignited from the motor sparker.
