THEY BEAR CHARMED LIVES
Seventy-Five Spanish Soldiers Were Blown
Fifty Feet With Dynamite and No
One W3s Injured.
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 17.—A cable- I
gram to the Times-Unlon from Key
West, Fla., says:
According to private advices received
in this city today Generals Gomez and i
Maceo are preparing to begin active
operations in Gas Villas district. They
have with them 500 well equipped men.
It is their object to prevent the grinding
of sugar cane, thereby crippling the gov
ernment in its revenue. The farmers in
the district have asked the government
for protection against the insurgents,
claiming that until such protection is
afforded them it will be impossible to
gather the crops.
Information has been received in Ha
vana that the Cubans have completely
destroyed Guatanamo. On the 9th in
stant the passenger train that left Los
Minos station was blown from the track
near Puerto Principe. The rails for 150
feet were torn up, the locomotive was
badly damaged and the guard car, in
which were seventy-live soldiers, under
the command of a lieutenant, was blown
about 50 feet, completely demolishing it.
According to the Spanish newspaper re
ports no one was injured.
General Gomez has issued a manifesto
warning all persons against traveling by
rail as they are in danger of being blown
up by dynamite. The object in destroying
the railroads is to prevent the carrying
of troops. They are in. complete control
of all roads in the eastern part of the
island.
The insurgents around Matanzas have
appointed Pancho Perez their leader. He
was very prominent in the Spanish army
during the war of 1868.
It is rumored that the insurgents, un
der Serafln Sanchez, had an encounter
with the troops under Suarez Valdez in
the Santa Clara district, which lasted
three days. Details are not known, but
the supposition is that the Cubans were
victorious.
Amezapa, the insurgent commander
who was wounded and captured a few
weeks a^o in the Santa Clara province,
has been court-martialed and ordered to
be shot. His execution will take place in
a few days.
One hundred and eighty ex-convicts,
recently arrived in Havana, were sent
into the country to join the troops.
The report that Maceo had beeif
wounded is denied by prominent Cubans
in this city.
The Royal Blue $4 shoes are
the best made.

BRAKE WAS LYNCHED.
The Judge Didn’t Get a Chance to Show
Him Mercy.
Augusta, On., Oct. 17.—A special to the
Chronicle from Hampton, S. C., says:
William Hlake, Sr., Jason Blake, Prince
Graves and William Frazier were con
victed tills evening for the murder of Mrs.
Raymond Meares on the 9th of last Au
gust. William Blake was recommended
to the mercy of the court and sentenced
to life imprisonment. The other three
were sentenced to be hanged on the 6th
of December. After the prisoners were
sentenced It was evident that there was
dissatisfaction at the Jury’s recommen
dation of mercy for William Blake. As
the constables were on their way to jail
with the prisoners they were overpow
ered by a number of men, who took Wil
liam Blake and carried him half n mile
in the woods and hung him to a large
pine tree. The coroner’s jury returned a
verdict that he came to his death at the
hands of parties unknown. All is quiet
at this hour.

Lexington, Ky„ Oct. IX'.—'The 2-year-old
colt Tommy Britton this afternoon wiped
out all race records by placing himself in
a class alone as "the incomparable.” The
record for 2-year-old fillies of 2:15% held
Jointly by Silician and Impetuous, has
been crossed out by a chip of half a sec
ond, and the honored title that Oakland
Baron held as the king of racing colt
trotters was passed and a new name is
written above all others, and Tommy
Britton, 2:1514, Is the king of his age. and
by conservative horsemen is regarded as
the greatest one ever bred. He won the
$2000 Lexington stake with ease from a
field of three starters and was driven
with a view of wiping out the race rec
ords. Tommy Britton is owned by Mc
Ferran and Clancy of Crescent Hill, tKy.,
sired by Liberty Bell, dam Keepsake by
Pancoast. His grand sire. Bell Boy, won
this same stake at the same age in 1887,
and his best time was 2:26.
Tommy Britton has not yet met defeat,
an4 won his fifth race of the season to
day. Iron Bar won two heats last even
ing In the Johnston stake quite handily,
but scored lame from the word today and
was distanced, wliile Valley Queen clev
erly won the necessary three heats, earn
ing a new record. Belle T. scored a bril
liant victory in the 2:13 pace and out
footed the first choice Chloral, who was
backed for large amounts, especially in
the second heat. One more day remains
and the greatest meeting ever given will
have passed into history.
In point of attendance, high class con
tests and clean racing the success has
been a brilliant one. The management
will open Its gates tomorrow with a bid
of welcome, no charge being made, and
the meeting will close with a general Jol

Southern Railroads Are Making a Final Ef
fort to Organise.
New York. Oct. 17.—There was another
meeting of the representatives of the
southern roads at the Hotel Waldorf to
day for the purpose of making a supreme
and final effort to form the proposed
Southern States Freight association. The
session began shortly before 11 o'clock
and although the special conference com
mittee had reported that it had failed in
its efforts to induce the South Carolina
and Georgia roads, as well as the Clyde
line, to sign the agreement, the conten
tion was made that the opposing lines
would change their attitude on certain
conditions. When the representatives
assembled today a general sentiment
prevailed that an association would be
formed befoil: the close of the day. The
first evident of this long desired turn
of affairs was furnished when General
Manager Scott of the Georgia road ad
dressed the meeting. He delivered a very
emphatic address, in which he outlined
the objections of his company with re
gard to becoming a member of the asso
ciation. He caused quite a stir by an
nouncing that providing resonable guar
antees were assured his'company, as well
as the other companies, would change
their position and would join the asso
ciation. Mr. Thomas specified the guar
antees he wanted and the meeting pro
ceeded to discuss the proposition.
