fur jso.iKK) damages.
Atlanta, April 17. The strike situa
tion here is unchanged. The telegra
phers and railroad officials contradict
each other regarding existing condi
tions. President Powell said today that this
afternoon h would file suit against the
Southern railway for $50,000 damages
on account of an article which appear
ed in a locil newspaper attempting to
hiiind him as a criminal.
The telegraphers' strike situation is
without new developments today.
Nothing can be seen from the outside
which is in any way indicative of the
outcome. The trouble with the wires
is said to have abated somewhat. The
railroad and telegraph people are still
engaged in repairing them. It is the
opinion of a gentleman who has ex
cellent opportunities for learning the
opinions of the trainmen that the ma
jority' of them believe the strikers will
win. Almost every one of them is in
hearty sympathy with the strikers, and
it is said the conductors seldom tail to
bestow a string of hearty and forcible
epithets on every "scab" in whose o-
Ih e they have business.
Kur any other order to join, in toe
strike it vould be necessary to poll tLiaf
votes of all members of the order vklfc 0

FINE ART EXHIBIT
AT OLD LIBRARY
THOSE WHO VISIT IT ARE LOUD
IN EXPRESSIONS OF PRAISE
AND WONDER.
The big exhibition of fine art re
productions at the old library building
opened yesterday afternoon. The ex
hibit has already been described in
The Citizen. Those who visited it yes
terday were loud in their expressions
of praise and wonder, and some of
them say they expect to go again ev
ery day during the week. Indeed, a
week's time will be all too short for a
borough study of the many master .
pieces represented, any one of whi' cjj
could be looked at with pleasure ' ana
profit for hours by any one who js jn
sympathy with art.
Aside from the exhibit itself, d elight
ful and entertaining program' 3 have
been arranged by the receptir m com.
mittees. Last evening th? musical

In conclusion Mr. Worrall expressed
his hearty approval of the line of work
which is being pursued bv the .cltv
schools with a view of surrounding the
pupils in their daily work with the
best examples of the world's art, and
offered to co-operate in any way with
those who are interested in the move
ment. Mr. Worrall has consented to speak
again this afternoon.
The exhibition is open every day
from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. From personal
and selfish reasons, aside from the ob
ject for which the collection is ex
hibited, no person should fail to at
tend once at least.
FRIGHTFUL SITUATION
THROUGH MISSISSIPPI
MERIDIAN WELL NIGH CUT OFF
FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
TRAIN WATERBOUND.
Memphis, April 17. Reports front
northern and central Mississippi today
are meagre. Telegraphic and telephone
Communications are seriously inter
rupted. The heaviest rains those sec
tions have experienced for years have
fallen within the past two days.
Reports from Crystal Springs and
Madison state that the cranberry and
strawberry beds are under water and
the early crop is entirely lost. Both cot
ton and corn crops will have to be re
planted in many places.
Meridian, Miss., April 17. The flood
situation has reached frightful propor
tions. This city is cut off from the out
side world except by three telegraphic
communications of Western Union
wires. All trains are marked annulled
for an indefinite period. The Atlanta.
& Vicksburg passenger due here at
12:30 yesterday has been waterbound
12 miles from the city for 24 hours.
The passengers are without food, the
train being unable to come forward or
go back.
Three fatalities are reported, the vic
tims being negroes who lost their live
trying to save cattle.
EASTER ENTERTAINMENT.
Given Yesterday at the Residence
Mrs. Theodore Morrison.
of
A very pretty Easter entertainment
was given yesterday at the residence of
Mrs. Theodore Morrison on Pearson's
drive, attended by the parents and
friends of the pupils. The children were
quaintly dressed in costumes of the co
lonial period, each making a beautiful
miniature. The minuet in the first
scene of The Mistletoe Bough was an
exquisite picture and was danced most, j,
gracetuiiy. rne recitations were verjr
good, with expressions seldom expect
ed of such small children. "Only a.
Chicken," was quitt amusing, and The
May Queen was expressively recited,
as was "The Twin Brothers" in the
Irish brogue by one of the little boys.
The musical recitals were much en
joyed. The final number "Columbia,"
was sung heartily by the children. The
perfect rendering of the whole pro
gram by the children reflects great
credit on the careful instruction of
the Misses Stevens. The program fol
lows :
Mistletoe Bough First scene, bridal
party dancing minuet; second, bride
hiding in the chest; third, the guests
hunt for the bride; fourth, the groom
discovers the bride in the chest after
20 years havg elapsed.

but became worse during the forenoon.
The funeral arrangements had not

LOUISIANA VOTES
FOR FULL TICKET
First General Election Held
Under New Constitution.
The Vote in the State Has Been
Greatly Reduced.
AN ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED
KAIN FLOODS THE CITY HALF
A FOOT OF WATER AT
THE POLLS.
New Orleans. April 17. At the Louis
iana state election today a full state
ticket will be elected as well as a full
legislature, which will choose United
States senators to succeed Caffery and
McEnery; parochial and county officerar
in all puiishes suve New Orleans, dis
trict judges and district attorneys save
in New Orleans justices of the peace
and locaJ and ward officers and munic
ipal ollieers, but not in New Orleans.
The entire state of Louisiana will al
s vote on a constitutional amendment
authorising New Orleans to issue $U.
Ofu.GW based on special tax, tae money
io be used in draining and sew-?r.ng
t!f ity.
This election is the first general one
held under the new constitution and
the new suffrage law, which contains
an educational or properly quannca
tion. shutting out nearly all the ne-
srroes and about three-fourths of the
foreigners, whether naturalized or not.
The registration shows 117,000 wnites
and 7,000 colored, against a registra
tion in the last election of 250,000, near
ly equally divided among whites and
negroes. In 14 parishes not a negro
registered and in 43 out of 59 thj ne
gro registration was under 100.
There are three tickets in the field.
Democratic. Republican fusion ticket
and the Populists and independent
Democrats. It is generally thought
the Democrats will carry the state by
a comparatively large majority on a
greatly reduced vote and will control
both branches of the legislature by a
light majority.
An almost unprecedented rainfall
which flooded the city made voters
scarce at the polling booths today. At
many of the polls the water is half a
foot deep, and unless the storm lets up,
of which there is not much prospect
now, the vote for the state ticket will
be the smallest ever cast. The rain is
general over the state, the roads are in
wretched condition, and the vote will
be very small.
GEORGE H. SCRIPPS
DIES IN SAN DIEGO
PROMINENT NEWSPAPER OWN
ER, WHO SPENT SOME TIME
IN ASHEVILLE THIS YEAR.
George H. Scripps died near San
Difgo, Cal., Saturday, at the age of 60
years. Mr. Scripps was a visitor to
Ashe ville-ihis year and spent some
time at the Battery Park. He went
from here in a private car to San

Mr. Scripps built up more newspa

spirit oi the Scripps-McRae league,
which controlled the Detroit Evening
News, the Detroit Tribune, the Cin
cinnati Post, the St. Louis Chronicle,
the Kentucky Post of Covington, the
Kansas City World and some papers
ou the Pacific coast.
It is said that Mr. Scrlppa neve
wrote a line for any of the papers he
owned. He contented himself with
looking after them in a general way.

o'clock, In the lecture room of Trinity
Episcopal church. Dr. Thomas Law
