THREW WRENCH IN
BOX OF DYNAMITE
All That Could Afterwards Be Found
of the Mans Body Was Portion
of Legs From Hips Down.

BACONTON, Ga.-Eppie Young, a
negro, while engaged in dynamiting
holes for pecan trees on the place
of Mr.. G. P. Jackson, one mile from
here, at II o'clock this morning,
threw a wrench into a box contain
ing 80 or 40 sticks of dynamite.
A terrific explosion followed, and
the negro was thrown many feet into
the air.
All that could afterwards be found
of the negro's body was a portion of
his legs, from the hips to the
knees.
A great hole was torn in the
ground, and the explosion shattered
many windows here, causing much
terror and commotion among the in
habitants.
Fortunately no one but the negro
who was killed was near when the
explosion occurred.

SHIP WRECKS LIGHTHOUSE
An Unusual Accident Occurs Of the
Coast of Southern Australia.

The wrecking of the Wongo Shoal
lighthouse off the coast of southern
Australia by the sailing ship "Dims-
dale" will probably go down as one
of the most unusual accidents in
modern sea annals, considering the
fact that the express purpose of a
lighthouse is to warn mariners to
keep away from a dangerous locali-
ty and that the ship not only entered
the danger zone but actually struck
the lighthouse while sailing under
fair weather conditions. Pictures of
the wrecked lighthouse appear in the

URGES PARTY TO LINE UP
MR.. UNDERWOOD TILTS WITH
MANN AND RODDENBERY.
Asserts Wilson Doesn't Want Appro-
priatiOn Bills to Go Over, and Urges
Passage by Present Congress.

AblAAS W wv CNNis sAAN ~ So
Passage by Present Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-With the
house in tangle of congested appro-
priation bills Democratic Leader I'm
derwood today dropped his tariff
work and lectured the democrats on
the necessity for speedy action on the
supply measures. In the course OF
colloquy with Minority Leader
Mann and Representative Rodden-
berry of Georgia, the latter filibuster-
ing against the appropriations bills,
Representative Underwood declared
emphatically it was not the wish of
President-elect Wilson that this
years appropriation bills go over to
the democratic administration.
1T is understood generally on this
side of the house." said Mr.. Mann,
and also on the other side of the
house that it was the inspiration OF
the democratic president-elect to pre-
vent the passage of these appropria-
lions bills at this session of con-
gress.''
Not Authorized by Wilson.
81 am not here" Mr.. Underwood
replied, with any authority to speak
for the next president, but l will
say, without having any special au-
thority, that | am firmly convinced
that any such statement attributed to
the next president is absolutely err
roneous."
THE time has come" Mr.. Under
wood continued, when gentlemen
on the democratic side, as well as
those on the other side, should real
ize their responsibilities to the Amer
lean people. Any filibuster against
these appropriation bills at this stage
of the proceedings is indefensible."
"None of these bills carry appro-
priations necessary before the first of
next July" said Representative Rod
denbery.
NO." retorted Mr.. Underwood,
'but this congress is responsible for
these bills; not the next one.
Ought a republican senate be al
lowed to shape this bill with dem
ocratic senate to meet within very
few weeks" asked Mr.. Roddenbery.
Mann Says They're DisOrganized.
81 am as intense partisan as
there is on this fioor;M said Mr.. I'm
derwood, "but I do not believe we
should allow the bills to go over"
Mr.. Mann characterized the ma
jority as "disorganized,' declaring
that the appropriations bill had been
delayed until it had become impossi-
BILE to get through without setting
aside the rules and that he was de-
lighted to see the gentleman from
Alabama back from his labors in the
tariff hearings. His services are

WORLD END WHEN TURK FALLS
JUDGMENT DAY is UPON US, SAYS
EVANGELIST STEPHENSON.
Present War Will Fill Biblical In.
junction, He Declares, and Sun
and Moon Will Go Out.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Get ready for
the end of the world; it is upon us.
This was the gist of sermon de-
livered at the Seventh Day Advent
lists church by w. G. Stephenson last
night. 1t was based upon prophecy
in the Bible, which told that the sec
ond coming of the Lord and the end
of the world will be accompanied by
great wars between the kingdoms OF
the north and the south.
These TWO Kingdoms of the propk-
ecy he identified as Greece and Tur-
KEY, and he showed that the final
fall of the latter power, which now
seems imminent, will surely mark
the fulfllment of the prophecy The
Bible predicts long series of strug-
giles between these two powers and
speaks especially of three. These
the speaker identified as the wars of
1898, 1928 and the Crimean war in
1853. The present war, he said, is
the last, and will result in the fall
of the Turk.
Fall of the Turks.
The prophecy tells further that the
end shall be delayed by the interven-
ton of other nations, and this, too,
has been fulfilled in all of the other
struggles. In fact, the conclusion
seems obvious, Mr.. Stephenson says,
that when the Turk falls all mum
dane powers must perish with him.
The other signs which are to fore
tell the coming of the Lord, accord
ing to the Bible, are total eclipse of
the sun and moon, the falling of the
stars and an epidemic of earth
quakes. The celestial phenomena in
question, he said, will occur in good
time. and the earthquakes, he point
ed out, we are getting in good meas
ure. He quoted figures showing that
the number of earthquakes has in
creased from one in every four years
during the earliest recorded times to
400 in every year at present. At this
rate, he argued, the world will be
fairly shaken to pieces should other
means of destruction be wanting.
The Signals of God.
These indications are so plain that
the most uneducated man cannot fail
to see them, he said. Nj. Stephen
SOL told that before ne tl?nivod The
cali to religious teaching he was a
train dispatcher, and he likened these
warnings of the Lord to the whistled
signals of an approaching engine.
Had he disregarded these, Ia said,
he would have been discharged tho
next morning, and so those who dis
regard the plain signals of Gods re-
turn may expect to be dropped from

WON'T PAY FOR TITANIC MAIL
British Postoffice Refuses Compensa-

The British postoffice has finally
decided to refuse compensation for
registered mail lost on the Titanic.
An indemnity of SO is payable to
the owner of any registered letter or
package lost in transit to any foreign
country through negligence on the
part of the mail service or transpor-
tation line. If negligence had been
admitted in the case of the Titanic
the amount payable would be in the
neighborhood of $4,OOO,OOO, but the

Banking and Currency Com
mittee Devising New Plan
to Present Congress
(Bv Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.--That there
is something radically wrong with the
american monetary system was agreed
to today by all witnesses before the
Glass subcommittee Of the house bank
ing currency committee which be-
gan series Of hearings with the
purpose of devising new currency
scheme to be recommended to con.
gress.
All witnesses tod the committee
that what the country needed was
more elastic currency and a concentra-
ton of the reserve funds, but opin-
ions as to how these ends could be
accomplished were variant.
A. Eartoa, chairman of the board of
directors Of the Chase National bank
of New York. advocated a central
bank, similar to the one proposed by
the national monetary commission,
with 81 per cent of the stock to be
owned-1by the government If neces-
sary. Other plans were recommended.
Chairman Glass annouced that in.
asmuch as the democratic platform de.
clared specifically against the none
tary commission central bank, the ma
jority Of the members of the commit:
tee felt it was their duty to seek
substitute for this plan.

propriety OF federal judges writing to
an attorney of Ne side is that it had
been argued before him, for inforna-

points, became the point around
which members of the senate today

was virtually taken from Sterling's
hands when the charge was reached

demanded of Archibald whether he
did not think it improper and unfair
to other parties to request in suit to
refuse the explanation of the correc-

the other side like privileges, but
Archibald insisted nothing was i'm
proper in his conduct.
Archibald occupied the stand four
hours. All the testimony was COM

ASTORIA, Oregon, Jan. THE oil
tan steamer Rosecrens. bound from
Monterey, California, for Portland
Oregon, ran aground early today on
the Peacock Spit while crossing into
the Columbia river during 55 mile
gale, and was lost with 81 members
of her crew out OF 81.
One survivor of the wreck was re.
ported tonight to have reached the
shore at Tioga, Washington, and the
Point Adams Mfe saving crew rescued
three other men late today. The men
had taken refuge in the rigging of one
OF the masts when the ship went
down. For many hours they clung
there. One became desperate and
leaped into the sea, being rescued by
the life saving crew.
The ROsecrans was hurled upon the
rocks at the same place where the
Steamship General Washington went
aground year ago. Owing to the
thick weather, the plight OF the steam
ship was unkn0wn for several hours.
When the tugs reached the neigh.
borho0d Of the tanker, she was found
to be hard aground, and the high sea
made near approach impossible. The
wrecked vessel soon shifted and be.
gan to break up before tugs could get
near enough, to put line aboard and
she slipped on the rocks and sank un.
til only her lnasts and funnel appear
ed above the water. with three men Of
