Strikebreakers Hide
Out Until Daylight.

Then the 1agman, a strikebreaker
volunteered to close the switch, but he
was also driven back by a yolley from
both sides the track. Then a confer
ence was held and the crew decided TO
make no further attempts.
The sheriff of McDuffie county was
reached by telephone and he came 70
the scene with several deputies and
closed the switch. In the meantime the
conductor and hagman had disappeared
and it was feared they had been
dragged away by the mob But they
turned up again today and efforts were
made to take the train on to Augusta
by daylight. They had been hiding out
until dawn.
Merrill, the strikebreaking conductor,
came from Louisville. Officials Of the
road say he is a decent, respectable APP
pealing chap and not a typical strike
breaker He is an experienced railroad
man.
A crew of strkebreakers was sent
from Atlanta TO Athens late Yesterday
afternoon to bring a train from the
branch road into Atlanta Tney re-
turned TO headquarters here today and

Many Of the passengers showed signs
of the excitement of the morning and
several had small cuts or were limping
from some minor bruise. All declared
that nothing short of a miracle had
saved many more from being seriously
injured.

Admits 'Abyssinian
Treatment of Standard,

One Of the letters said that the Stand
ara OIL would receive just as much of a
square deal" If not numbered among
the contributors to the Roosevelt cam
pagn fund as II it were.
The colonel branded as untrue the
statement that Hartman raised his
fund for Roosevelt's 1904 campaign,
stating that Cornelius n. Bliss really
raised the fund and it was used in the
state and not the national campaign.
He smihagiy admitted he administered
the "Abyssinian treatment" to the
Standard OIL while he was president,
because It needed it." and asserted he
would treat all corporations who failed
TO obey the law in like manner if elected
president again.
In the course of his discussion of
senator Penrose's testimony before the
committee, and his speech on the floor
OF the senate, the former president de-
manded that the senator from Penn
syivanta be cast out of the upper house
OF congress because of his admission
concerning the contributions he had
solicited from the Standard Oil and
other interests.

DYNAMITE FOUND
|. ON CAR TRACKS
Inspector Discovers Explosive
Before Cars Start Officers
Increase Vigilance.

AUGUSTA, GA, oct A stick of dy~
Mantle, 112 inches in diameter and about
a foot long, was found on the tracks of
the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Electric
Corporation, near the corner of Fifth and
Hall streets, by a track inspector, early
this morning, before the cars began to
run. The finding Of the dynamite caused
an increased vigilance on the part Of the
city police and the military authorities.
The cars are being run today without
trouble, but vigilance has not been re-
Taxed for some time and will not be in
the near future. Martial law will probably
continue for some time, the saloons and
pool rooms are still closed and all Of
tenders must face the military authori-
ties
So far there has not been much trouble
because Of the fact that the killing Of
three men last Friday has inspired much
respect for the military.

Three Stories Up and No Pro-

Lighting and Plumbing.

Three stories of Fulton county's ST.
100000 court house have been built and
no provision made thus far for lighting.

This fact was conveyed to the aston
ished members of the Fulton county
commission today by r. II. Morgan. of
Morgan q Dillon the architects in
charge Of the erection Of the building
Morgan appeared before the board to
arrange for a $4,000 payment due on
the contract for the concrete work left
in tangle by the disappearance Of
Noise DeLeon.
THE matter OF letting the bids for
the heating, lighting and plumbing sys-
TENS should be taken up at once" said
Morgan. Three stories have been
erected. and no bids for any of these
systems have been let"
To Rush Letting of Contracts.
The board authorized the publication
Of the specifications for the systems on
Monday in daily newspa pers and trade
papers, and the contracts will be let
forthwith
In Strengthening Mr. Morgan out on
the manner in which to meet the pay
roll for the concrete work, the board
refused to have any dealings with Nor
row Brothers, a Baltimore concern
holding a sub-contract with DeLeon. It
Eas held that the commission could
recognize only the Fidelity and Guaran-
tee Company of Maryland, sureties on
DeLeon's bond. Morgan was told to
take the matter up with Luther q.
Rosser, county attorney.
Residents of Peachtree street living
between John NJ. Slaton's residence and
the Roxboro road represented by Bur
ton Smith, asked the Fulton board for
the use Of county convicts to ditch for
six-inch water main to be laid along
the road at the expense OF the resi-
dents. The matter was referred to the
public works committee, with power to
act, with the proviso that no favorable
action be taken unless the city authori
ties supervise the charge for tapping
the main.

Woman Indicted Two
Years Ago Not Tried,

Mrs. Flanders was indicted jointly
with DR.. McNaughton for the murder
of Flanders. 1t was alleged that they
slew the husband, in order that a too
great friendship between the wife and
the doctor might be pursued unmo-
Tested
McNaughton has been convicted at
every point, but, for some reason, the
woman, although indicted two years
ago, has not yet been tried She has
been at large for months on a $4,000
bond.
The prison commission takes the
view that to permit the hanging Of
McNaughton now might result in q
grave miscarriage Of justice in the case
of the woman. 1t is true also that
her possible acqulttal might incline the
commission to recommend McNaugh-
ton to communication, if not actual par
don.
For respiting McNaughton until after
the trial of his alleged accomplice, the
governor will not lack for precedent
Such a course was taken in the famous
Noble case by Governor Atkinson years
ago, and both Governor HOke Smith
and Governor Brown in the Hunter
case from Savannah, took the same
view of things.
The attorneys for McNaughton feel
that they will have scored heavily in
McNaughton's favor if the matter is
disposed Of as now seems most likely.
They contend that the trial of Mrs.
Flanders will throw an Illuminating
light on many obscure points in the
case against DR.. McNaug ntOn.
