3111 West Cary Street. was badly kick
ed by the struggling animal. and the
horse was burned to death In the de-

Inc hre. which originated in Mr.
Wollsieffer's stable, spread rapidly and
destroyed another stable, besides in
fictins considerable damage on Mr.
Wholesalers home. Firemen were un-
able to determine the origin of the
fire. Only one fire company was able
TO reach the scene INN edately after
the alarm was turned in and Chief
Wise sent for No 4 Company. which
is located on Third Street The men
of No. arrived in time to be of con-
siderable aid, though, on account of
the distance between the fire and the
water plugs, ii was found necessary
to double the hose line in order to
reach the burning stables. The fire
lasted more than an hour, and the to-
tai damage is estimated at $4,000.
Damage amounting TO several hun
dred dollars was inflicted on the ga
rage of the Virginia Auto supply Com

yesterday morning. Many automobile
tires were burned. and an automobile
was so badly scorched by the flames
as to be rendered practically useless
The engine of No. Company. located
mt Brook Avenue and Marshall Streets
got stuck in the mud on West Broad
street. where street paving is in pro-
gresS, and was unable to. reach the
fire. The rear wheels Of the heavy
machine were so deeply imbedded that
1T required the combined efforts of
several other fire horses TO pull il out.

ing to $55s,50O, Will Be Aug

$00O,OOO-Plans Mature Rapidly.

Strong efforts will be made to-day
to complete the S1.000.0o0 subscription
of Virginia to the s135, 100000 pool
which Is being raised to finance the
cotton crop of this year. a committee
OF local business men will visit r,anu-
facturers and jobbers to-day for the
purpose of further Increasing the
amount to be subscribed by this city
The sum of s55S,500 has already been
raised here, bat 1t Is hoped that the
total before night will exceed $500. ooo
Meetings will be held in several cities
Of the State to-day to arrange for the
financing OF tho amount allotted to
them. Lynchburg. which does big
jobbing business in the cotton States,
VIII have 4 meeting OF bankers and
1obbers this morning, and 1t Is expected
that at least 100000 will be subscribed.
DnnFille. Is we'll as smaller cities are
yet to be heard from. They will easily
swell the total up to the $1,000, 00e
mark. 1t is believed. t
Participation certificates are to be
issued to the subscribers to the pool,
and these certificates will be transfer
able. They will bear interest at 6
per cent, payable quarterly.
The cotton States are to put up S35,-
100000. while the other States will
subscribe Sl00,000.O00. The latter Will
be known as Class A subscriptions, and
the former rs Glass b. The subscrip-
lions to the Glass certificates will
depend upon only the applications
for loans The plan of loanIng tho
inOEey follows:
For example, cotton planter, mer-
chant or manufacturer in Corsicana
Texas. has 1000 bales of cotton and
desires to borrow on same
This plan gives him the opportunity
OF going 10 his banker at Corsicana and
applying for loan of cents a pound,
or $4,000 In total, He makes his note
for 100000 with the cotton as security;
the banker knowing that he is per-
fectly good risk, commercially and
financially. agrees to make him the
loan The banker advances $500
OF II for which he takes n Class b
certificate bearing 6 per cent Interest
for 1880 and secures for the planter,
merchant or manufacturer $22,5O0
with the 1000 bales OF cotton as secur-
ity from the S100.0o0.000 against
which Will be issued Glass y certjfi-
cato :or S22,500, which certificate Is
Issued to the subscribers other than
those In cotton producing States). 1t
VIII be observed that no definite sub
scriptions to any fund is required from
the South. Thus each bank, whether
II he State bank, national bank or
trust company. can finance any of
their customers needing financing, ana
as such banks or trust companies know
20 whom they are loaning, they take no
FISK on their Glass B certificates. IL
they are conservative in making such
loans. II is TO be noted that both Glass
4 and Class II certificates being ne.
Sotlable. can be disposed of by tho
banks In any manner seen fit.

Memphis Tran Leaves South

SIGNALS THE WRONG TRAIN
Extra Light Engine From Saint
Louis Carries the Crew 10
Place of Duty.

II is demonstrated fact that Il
passenger train will make better time
when manned by u crew than when
running with only the engineer and
fireman to look after its dcsiincs.
This was proven last night when the
>outh-bDund Memphis, train due in
the Cape at I24O reached this
point one hour and twenty minutes
late. IN occurrence Of most UNUSUAL
character is recorded in the experience
undergone by said carrier of human
freight when by u mistaken signal
the engineer pulled out of Southeast
Junction leaving the crew innoccntly
discussing the propsccts for the en-
suing year with the force in charge
.of the operators station.
1t seems that when the Memphis
train pulled into Southeast Junction
some eleven miles out of St Louis
there was train standing on the
main line. Someone signallcd the
main line train to 90 ahead and the
engineer on the Memphis train mis-
took it a. being directed to him and
he acted accordingly, They ran twcn-
ty-siX miles before they discovered
that the essential elements were
lacking. \ light engine was sent
from St Louis to restore the deserted
crew to their places Of duty.

Al is DUE
His Well-known Position on
That Question Fore
casts Tenor
TO Be A VERY SHORT One
II is His Sixth Message Within
Year and Will Ask That Con-
greSS Reverse Itself
CNNNU News ScrvicoD

Washington, March 5.--When presi-
dent Wilson reads his sixth message
to congress- he will advocate the re-
peal OF the clause c&cmpting Ameri.
can coastwise shipping from the pay
ment of Panama canal tolls.
The chief executive for the first
time will ask congress, particularly his
own party, to reverse itself, but his
argument is that when congress last
passed on the question international
circumstances such as now surround
the question did not then exist.
The president believes a general
distrust of the intentions of the
United States in constraining treaties
for its selfish benefit has arisen and
because of the doubt existing on the
Interpretation of the Hay. Pauncefote
treaty he will urge the repeal of the
much.debated provision.
Message Contains Only 500 Words.
This message viii be the shortest
of all. 1t is said to be less than 500
words long. All OF the presidents adj
dresses have been brief as compared
with those of his predecessors.
Originally Mr.. Wilson had not in
tended to deliver a message on this
subject. He had conferred with SEN
ators and members of the house, and
sentiment in favor of the repeal APP
pears to him to he strong. Some of
the leaders, however, were of the
opinion that the international phases
OF the situation Should be emphasized
in a communication from the presi-
dent to congress to impress upon
those who had voted for the cXcmp-
ton prcyiou ~ the "ecessity of chang
ing their vot. $, regardless Of domestic
questions Involved.
Sincerity Of United States Doubted.
Since the toll question was last be-
fore congress the president has told
senators that Euro""an nations gonor-
ally were tak'nI the view that the
United State had violated the Hay
Pauuccroto treaty. The governments
Of the world, he made it clear were
bcpinning to believe that the United
States was not sincere in the con-
struction Of treaties.
The message 20 congress will open
the fi"ht on the Panama tolls qucs-
lions in earnest. Senator O'Gorman,
chairman OF the intoroCoaniC canal
committee, is expected to oppose the
presidents view. Lately it has been
said that majority of the committee
would favor a repeal. The White
House is confident that in both houses
of congress the repeal will he passed,
