Two Narrowly Escape
Death as Locomotive
Crashes Into Motor
Attempting to Gross Tracks
Driver and Wife Are Dashed
From Car.

A badly smashed auto. piled against
the stone coping of the Pryor street
undercut at the union station track cross
ing to-day, is mute testimony in the hair
breadth escape from death last night Of
T. o. Marks and his wife, 2S Orange
street.
Marks, driving west in Pryor street,
was stopped at the crossing by hagman.
A cut OF cars stood on the tracks. After
waiting q minutes for a chance to cross
Marks finally saw an opening, cranked
his car and started forward a moment
later
From behind a passenger train stand
ing on the next to the last track a switch
engine puffed into sight. Before Marks
or the engineer could stop their vehicles
the auto had been struck, it's front wheels
bent shapeless and the lights. radiator
and front wind shield demolished
Marks and his wife were lifted bodily
from their machine when it reared on the
pilot of the switch engine, but miracu-
lousy escaped injury as the car settled
back into position after the impact.

Atlanta. was one Of those destroyed by
the cyclone that devastated portions
of Nebraska and Indiana Sunday
night. Mrs. Miller received a telegram
telling of the destruction of her for

Immediately.
Little of the details of the storm
were given I'm the message received
by Mrs. Miller The home Of her par
ents, in the residence district OF TeTre
Haute, was directly in the path of the
storm and within ten minutes after
the coming of the storm 1t was
wrecked Both Mr. and Mrs. Stoeckler
were thrown from their beds and forced
to crawl from under piles OF wrecSage,
but neither was injured.
1t is probable that Mrs, Miller Will
bring her parents TO Atlanta to re-

and to stay until arrangements can
be made to rebuild their home.

disastrous tornado that struck this city

bodies Of fifty more victims. The to-

the officials, shows 202 recovered dead.
-Four hundred were injured
A heavy snow storm. following in the
wake OF the tornado that swept this city,
hampered the work of the rescue par

Bodies of the dead and injured still lie

have been conducting the search say
that as many as 100 are stlll wedged
under the fallen timbers and the mass
OF rock and brick
During the night the work among the
ruins was pushed forward by lantern
light The pickering lights moving
through the haze of falling snow pre-
scented a weird appearance to the spec
tators who, drawn by curiosity, pushed
as close to the ruins as the soldiers
who stood on guard would let them.
The temperature fell rapidly during
the night and the work of search to-
day was hampered by the cold. Many
OF the volunteers who had been digging
about the ruins deserted before day
light and others were sent out about
dawn. They worked with increased
vigor but the work was slow,

reer to the public. AS the moulder
of youthful minds. as legislator, as
chief executive, as publicist and as
preserver OF the records of our ia
Tiers and as an advocate of civic
ideals and racial development, his
figure stood out as one of the no
blest and purest with which Geor-
gia has been blessed.
His sympathies were with the
weak and lowly. His trust was in
God, to whose voice he was ever at
tentive and to whose divine will he
gave the best of his mind and heart.
His hope was in that reward which
is gained by unselfsh devotion to
eternal truths, a reward earned and
surely enjoyed by him. We find
recompense for our sorrow in the
lasting fruits of his work, not the
least of which is the enduring ex-
ample of a spotless life left to crown
his memory.

Expect Floods to
Send Mississippi
To Record Height

WASHINGTON, March 95.-All riv-
ers throughout Ohio, Indiana and Nil
nois probably will rise abnormally
within the next As hours. This rise,
due to the recent and impending storms
in the middle West, doubtless will be
very dangerous to persons residing near
these rivers. Warnings have been sent
from St. Louis and Columbus to farm
ers to beware of the foods.
This was the statement to-day Of
Professor Henry, of the United States
weather bureau, with reference to the
flood situation in the middle Western
states.
Professor Henry added that practi-
cally every river in this section would
be affected and that the lower Missls-
sppi probably would reach a record
height as a result of the swollen
streams of the North.
