Ocilla. Georgia, March 25-
In an official statement made
this afternoon the general supefin-
tendent OF the Georgia Central rail-
road says that only seven persons
are known TO be dead as a result of
this mornings wreck, as follows:
Mrs w. D. Fletcher. Roland, Ill.
O.. F. Bonwart. Henderson, Ky.
w. w. Culpepper, Triton, Ga.
Four trainmen, names not given.
A dozen other passengers are re-
ported to be seriously injured.
1t is now believed that the first
reports of the wreck, in which 1t was
estimated that forty people had betn
killed, were exaggerated, but the
death list may be considerably in
creased over the last number given
as several cars are still submerged
in the waters of the Allapaha river.
The accident was caused by the
breaking of an axle ON the engine
midway of long trestle. The engine
remained on the track but the bag
gage car was telescoped and the
first and second class coaches a1d
one Pullman fell through thetTestle
into the river.

er. the fast train on the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad. plunged through
a trestle on the Allapaha river at 5
o'clock this morning.
The Dixie Flyer is one of the fast
est trains operated through the
south, being made up at Chicago and
running through to Jacksonville,
touching number of large southern
cities. During the winter and spring
great numbers of northern and
southern tourists travel via the Dix
lie Flyer to points in Florida, thus
making it the aristocratic train OF
the south.
The train went through a bridge
and five of its coaches were entirely
submerged in ten feet of water. Ten
dead bodies had been recovered
early this forenoon, but owing to the
conditions prevailing at the scene of
the wreck it is very difficult to de-
termine the exact number of dead.
1t ~ believed however that the ia
| talities may exceed forty

steadily since long before the begin
ming of the revolution.
Members of the cabinet refuse to
comment upon their action but 1t is
stated scmi-officially that the initia-
tive was taken, not by them, but by
! the president. who. it is said, pur-
poses to surround himself with
younger men, in the hope that such
action will serve to unite all ele-
ments of the nation.
1t is probable that the acceptance
of the designations will be coincident
with the announcement of the names
of the new ministers. This announce
ment may not be made for some

Who will compose the new cabinet
is not publicly known, but it may be
said that they will be men who have
not taken any prominent part in gov
eminent affairs. Neither will it in
elude any who have been identified
with the revolutionary movement
initiated by Madero.

THE MEN on GUARD.

Wherever the deadliest enemy of
man storms at the gates Of his defence
a forlorn hope mans the walls. In
Manchuria English and American
physicians are today walking with
death at their elbows among squalld.
ignorant and antagonistic victims Of
the plague. These guards at the walls
die but never surrender. AS they die
silently and without blare of trumpets
or waving of banners the waiting re-
serve steps quietly into the vacant
place and the present danger.
When yellow fever ravaged the gulf
states and a shotgun quarantine ranged
itself between the north and south
while communities and cities buried
their heaps of dead at night and
crawled from one deathbed to another
thru the long hot days the guard was
on duty. Men and women, doctors and
nurses, they faced their duty. If there
were assertions they were unknown
and unnoticed. The guard died at their
posts and their brief obituaries were
line in the death list.
Wherever the arch enemy storms
at the gates Of life the guard STANDS
firm There are no thunders OF APP
plause. No cheering crowds to line
the streets when they return. For
those who died no muffled drums and
reversed arms But they die in their
duty on the field of glory, heroes OF
more desperate fight and Of more he
roic mould than they who combed their
hair and held the pass at Thermopy-
lac. Heroism is not dead while the
guard is at the gate.

STOP HIS PAY.

A strike Is an economic disaster ex-
cept to the strike manager and pro-
moter The parties involved lose money
Why shouldn't the walking delegate
lose his?
A member Of Chicago builders
council proposes to stop the pay OF the
walking delegate and his superior Of
ficers when a strike is ordered and
begin payment as soon as it is settled.
Thus the delegate and official would
realize by experience that a strike is a
serious thing for workingmen and their
families Moreover it would relieve
him from the imputation that strikes
are his harvest time.
The best way the labor official can
earn his pay is by avoiding trouble
between men and employers If he
ever earns it he does when he keeps
peace. Why not pay him only while
others ere getting pay checks?
