Jackson.-Goy. Noel continues to be
harassed and besieged by applications
and applicants for pardon. either for
convicts in the penitentiary or con-
victs serving out sentences I'm jails or
on the county farms, his visitors In
some instances coming from the re-
hottest parts OF the state. Where the
parties interested do not visit him in
person they food his desk with nu-
merously signed petitions for pardon,
and each Of these cases requires al
most as much study and investigation
as though the chief executive were
preparing a brief TO be presented TO
a court. BY way of irony. the sltua-
ton just al present Is also somewhat
peculiar. for the governor is now up

Lisbon-The capital is now com.
pleteiy in the hands of the Republic
ans. who have formed a provisional
government with Theophile Braga as
president A new national flag of red
and green is flying over all the public
buildings, including the town hall.
King Manuel, with the queen mother,
Amelie, and Marie Pia, has taken RET.
uge at MARIA, twenty-three miles from
Lisbon.
Ii is impossible TO estimate the
number of those killed or wounded,
but it is expected to reach several
hundred. The city has been cons.1er-
ably damaged by the bombardment OF
the insurgent warships. The buildings
occupied by the ministries around the
Praca de Commercial and the Necessi-
da des Palace were made the partic-
ular targets of the shells from the
warships and today show the effects
of broken walls and turrets. The
tower of the church attached 10 the
palace was demolished.
Red Cross Society workers and po-
licemen are patrolling the streets and
removing the dead and wounded. The
revolutionists raided all buildings
which flew the old flag and tore down
the emblem OF the monarchy. The
warships greeted the hoisting of the
Republican flag with salutes of ar.
tillery.
Already British warships are on the
way TO protect British interests at the
scene of trouble. The American gun.

American government decides to send
them there. No detailed account OF

A significant incident is the visit paid

lican leaders after the fall of the pal
ace and the flag of the revolution was
hofsted on the town hall.

METHODIST oRPHANAoE.
Generous Contributions Enable Trus-
tees to Enlarge the Institution.

Jacksonville people OF the state
generally, especially those of the
Methodist denomination, will be inter
ested to know that improvements and
extensions are now being made at that
great institution known as the Missis-
sippi Methodist Orphans Home, that
will cost In the neighborhood of S40,-
600
These improvements consist in the
construction OF two handsome three
story brick buildings-one to be
known as the boys dormitory, the
other, on the left. as the school build
ing. Both are nearing completion.
Nearly all the lumber and brick used
in the construction OF these buildings
have been given to the institution by

other mill men.
Among the larger contributors OF
the building fund are: Dr. Luther Sex
ton of New Orleans, $4,000; Walter
hampton Of Magnolia. $4,000; Us. Sex
ton of Hazlehurst. 900; K. W. Mill
saps Of Jackson, 81 900.
There are now $50 children cared
for in the home, and they nave all the
advantages of a sure-enough home,
good schooling, religious training,
kind but firm treatment, and there is
no reason why they should not turn
out to be good and useful citizens. No
child under years of age is received
at the Methodist orphanage. and they
are kept till they are able to make
their way in the world.
The home has farm or truck patch
of sixteen acres. that is worked by
the boys, and they make fine crops.
The land lies well and is being
brought TO a high state of cultivation.
They are also taught how TO attend
to live stock. to feed and curry the
horses and mules, to encourage the big
bunch of hogs TO PUT on flesh, to milk
the twenty-five COWS and attend to the
making of milk and butter.

% KILLED IN WRECK
TWO TRAINS COLLIDE HEAD-ON
AT SHARP CURVE.
Crew of Local Train Disobeyed Their
Orders-Horrifyine Scenes
Follow Crash.

Stanton, Ill.-Disregard Of the
bend in the track, which hid two
rushing trolley cars from each other,
were responsible for the most appall-
ing wreck in the history of the cleo
trio railroads of Illinois. Twenty-eight
people were instantly killed. one died
on the way 10 a hospital and another
is not expected to live, and twenty-six
other people sustained more or less
serious injury.
The collision occurred between local
train No. IA, northbound, and an ex-
cursion train. No. 30, headed toward
st. Louis, and loaded with passengers
on their way to view the parade of the
Yelled Prophets at st. Louis.
The special train from Staunton,
bearing the twenty-eight dead, reached
Carlinville at $50 and volunteers Of
fered their services in carrying the
torn and mangled bodies to the I'M
dertaking parlors of II. c. Heinz 81
Bros Hundreds crowded about while
to permit the work of Identification to
go on undisturbed. But relatives of
those missing were irresistible in their
efforts to see the dead, and the most
intense excitement prevailed.
So mangled are some of the bodies
they can not be recognized even by
those who are sure they have relatives
among the victims.
The scenes attending the wreck
were indescribable in their horror, as
the injured screamed for help while
pinned beneath the wreckage. The
few who escaped without injury hero
ically went TO work in the mangied
mass of bleeding bodies and endeav-
ored TO extricate the dead from the
dying and injured
For the passengers shut in the two
cars there was no chance. In another
second the cars came together with a
splintering crash. The northbound car
tore into car No. IS, splitting it wide
open and literally raking the passen-
gers from their seats. Both cars prac.
tically reared on end and then fell
back into a tangle mass of splintered
wood and twisted iron which was lit
orally packed with the dead and dy.
ing and down the sides of which in a
dozen places, blood trickled in
streams. Nearly every passenger on
the southbound car was killed or Sc
riously injured.

RURAL SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
Longer Terms. Better Houses, and
Better Teachers.

Jackson.-Prof w. H. Smith, super
visor of elementary rural schools, an
important office, made possible
through the Peabody fund, was in the
city Tuesday on business connected
with his work. 1t is his duty to travel
about over the state and visit ali ru-
raj schools, TO encourage longer terms,
better houses, better teachers, to as
sist in the organization of district
schools and of agricultural high
schools, and he has so far been very
successful in all branches of his ser
vice.
Prof. Smith enjoys the distinction
of being the Father of the Boys Corn
Clubs" and continues to take a great
deal of interest therein. He has seen
the movement grow from one club in
Holmes county, where he was county
superintendent of education several
years ago, and until he resigned a few
months ago to accept mis- present posi-
ton. till there are now corn clubs in
forty or fifty counties and with a
membership of about 5000 of the
brightest and most energetic farmer s
in the state.
The corn club movement has grown
beyond Prof Smiths fondest dreams,
and has accomplished world of good.
The farmers of Mississippi had no
idea that they could raise $50 bushels
of corn per acre till they saw what
the boys of the corn clubs were doing,
and the result is that old Mississippi
has corn to sell this year. Never be-
fore did the state make such a corn
crop-thanks TO Providence for ideal
seasons, and TO the corn clubs for

ears of corn grow where there was

that it had stood on side track I'D
til December 20.
The Blue Island Company filed &
bill for $290.S5 against this car and
the Ostermanp Company presented a
bill of $s0.57 against the same car at
the same time. Records of similar
nature were exhibited for other cars
and on still other cars records show
ing two charges by the Ostermann
Company were exhibited.
For Illinois Central car 104.954 a
bill of $50 65 was rendered.
Among items in this bill were those
