Special. May- er A. II. Jioyaen or fcansDury naa a co:.f-' ronro today with C. M. Ackert, jn'.i vice-president and general man- the Southern Railway, which 1A ,.1 Itiati u a new ucpui at mo cuumy f at of Kowan. The interview ' was hi.shiy ' satiftfacttory to Mr. Boyden, was assured that an engineer wouM be sent to Salisbury to make :h? ?;!?ction of a site and an estimate Df tho c:?t of a handsome new depot it th.U Koint. 'The Southern Railway .has done p -p.t things for Salisbury and Row r.:.," ?.'A Mr. Boyden, "and of this we (if v(-ry appreciative. We do need a ! (v d. pot. ,and need one badly, and I a-n satisfied that the officials-of the S u:h-rn will do the right thing by our city, which is growing as fast as any in tho south. Tho Southern has recently finished a rjfi.iyo addition to the shops at Spen cer. ar;d Mr. Ackert tells me other s.Kitier.s hr.x'e got to be made in the :--ar future. as the result of increased Vjir.r-ss. The shops at Spencer, Mr. Ackert snys-, are as fine as any in fiii? country. The town's population is r.-.nye then 4,000 and the railroad pay roil is aoout $ia,uuu. .ext wee the new street car system will be jut into operation, giving- connection i irtwecn Salisbury and -Spencer. "I feel fonfldent that we, will get r. r :w depot. An engineer will get to v i;k at once" on the probable cost of su h a structure as is desired. Mr. .Ackert explained that the Southern is row building depots at New Orleans, Herk.ian, Spartanburg, AsheviHa. Kiqh Point and many, other points, finl that this work of permanent im provements could not be carried on .u-.-i-ywfcere. There is a demand for i new depot and Salisbury's claims v.'-im receive the consideration to which they are entitled." America Can Play the Boycott Game The suggestion is made here that the Vr.iipi States can play the game of t -oh-- boycotting as well as China. ('hhvx buys more goods of us than we 1 of China, but nevertheless "China h :s an export trade at stake worth considering. If American merchants .fii-ukl determine to boycott Chinese i M rtations pending the existence of th- boycott against American goods by Chinese merchants, it would, make quite i hole in China's foreign trade. The latest figures collected by the bureau statistics of tne department of com n 'crce- and labor show that in the fis- n year ending June 30, 1905, the Uni ted States bought from China includ i''-i the port of Hong Kcmg, for which separate figures are made merchandise 'io the value of $30,000,000 in round num- f"rs.. We sold in -the same period to H.ir.a and the distributing port of H"!-!g Kong about $63,000,000 worth of " Is. It is interesting to note, however, that th- bulk of the goods we have pur rh.tsed from China were not of a class '.vhlh renders this country dependent "Pn China. We bought the same things I" large quantities from Japan, and "t would probably not be difficult to transfer the preponderance of the trade Japan if it should be determined o retaliate with a boycott. Tar Heels on the Bennington A full list of the dead, injured and injured, who were aboard the gunboat onington when the explosion took )lice in San Diego harbor was received re today.

Frice Makes a Million New York, .July 27. Theodore H. Price, according: to the nearly unani mous opinion of the cotton trade has made close to $1,000,000 in the market the last month. Mr. Price has been carrying from 200,000 to 400,000 bales of cotton. Wednesday, it is believed, he sold about 150,000 bales. Today Mr. Price took occasion to deny that he had turned toear upon the market. While he had sold some cotton, he said he is still ready to purchase it On any reasonable decline and believes the cotton world is facing:, a compara tive crop disaster. "Mr. Price has, done what practically no other cotton leader has ever done,", said one cot ton man today. "He has not over stayed his market. Hardly any one has ever made so muchmoney In so short a time and got away with it." Wanted to Drown Himself and a Boy Richmond, Va., July 27. William Lyons, a printer, this morning en deavored to . induce his nephew, six years old. to jump into the water with him. Quick work by a policeman saved both. The policemen, saw the man as he was leading the child along by the hand and urging him to go along quietly. The policeman ran after the two and caught Lyons at the very string piece of the pier. The Officer grabbed him in time and say that he was suffering from the effects of the liquor he had been drinking. HER HONOR AT STAKE Woman Will Defend It at Cost of Husband's Lite Vincent x Sanford Shoots George Wright for Intimacy With His Wife Mrs. Sanford Will Assert Her Honor Though It Hangs Him Rome, Ga., July 27. Mrs. Elizabeth Sanford, a beautiful society woman of this city, has elected' to defend her honor although such election will in all likelihood send her husband and father of her three children to the gallows. Last week Vincent T. Sanford, one of the leading politicians in this section, shot George Wright to death in meet ing him in the streets of Rome. San ford then wired his wife who was with relatives at Madison, Ga.: "Well. I have killed him." Sanford alleged that Wright and Mrs. Sanford were unduly intimate. Mon day -Sanford wrote a card stating he had overwhelming proof of the inti macy cf his wife with Wright. Today Mrs. Sanford wrote a card de nying that her relations with Wright were wrong. She says: "This is a terrible situation for me. I have to defend my honor, yet to do that means probably the hanging of my husband and the father of my children. I am absolutely alone in my defense. I have not a soul in the world to whom I can turn for help, so that I feel I must gather all my forces to the task. The strain has been fearful, but I have been able to stand it in some miracu lous way. People' asked me if I did not dread the criticism and condemnation in returning to Rome. I never once thought of such a small thing as criti cism. My honor was at stake, and I alone could clear myself of the charge. Rome was the place of accusation, so I came to Rome. As to , the charges Mr. Sanford makes, I can only deny them most emphatically. A few small trivial circumstances have been exag gerated and dwelt upon hideously." Sanford has been indicted for murder and his trial will begin August 1 Mrs. Wright, widow of the slain man, gave birth to twins today and both soon died. Mrs. Wright will probably die as the result of the shock of her hus band's tragic death. All the parties are prominent. r GRAIN CROP REPORTS -.i To Be Issued as Rapidly as Possible After Noon Auguct 19th Washington, July 27. Beginning Au guest 10, the monthly estimates of the hcondition of the corn, spring wheat and oat crops will be"issued as rapidly as possible after 12 o'clock noon, in stead of four p. m., according to the system heretofore in operation at the department of agriculture. .

TWO ADDED TO ROLL OF DEA1 The Bennington's List Num bers Sixty-two. V INQUIRY IS UNDER WAY After Preliminary Investigation Ad miral Goodrich Will Appoint a Board of Experienced Naval Qffl cers to Look Into All the Facts Re lating to the Explosion San Diego, Cal., July 27. The list of the Bennington's dead now numbers sixty-two, there having been two more deaths, S. Tayate, a Japanese attendT- ant, and H. A. Metius, pay cleric The case of Metius is peculiar. He was able to walk up town after the acci dent and was thought not to hava been badly injured. After his wounds had been dressed he was in the streets Suddenly he collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital on a stretcher. It is supposed that the shock and a weak heart were the causes for his death. Washington, July 27. The official in vestigation of the cause of the disas ter on the Bennington at San Diego last Friday and the conditions existing1 prior to the explosion of the vessel's boilers is under way. Rear . Admiral C. F. Goodrich, commandine: the Pa cific station, arrived at San Diego to ' , day. His first act was to appoint a preliminary board of invest igstion,' consisting of Lieutenant Commanders Bartlett and Halstead and 'Lieutenant Moody. This board Is to collect and arrange all evidence- that has ' been gathered thus far by Commander y oung, commander of the Bennington, and by Captain Drake of the Mare Island navy yard, who was , sent to i In a. prociamsiin Governor Va rp man j Komura, accompanied by Minster Ta San -Diego to take charge cf: the, slt- j appeaVcr to nli "i.fistv-: 'lj!lir 1o ntand irfthif "the other Japanese envoy, ar- uation.

RAILWAY DISASTER Twenty-two Persons Killed by a Collision in England Tnndon. Julv 27. The worst railway disaster in the United Kingdonv for fifteen years occurred tnis evening on the electrified section of the -Lanca shire & Yorkshire railway. Twenty two persons, including several child ren, were killed and an unknown num, ber, but supposed to be few, were in jured. An electric express from Liv erpool was crowded with passengers. At Southport the train crashed into the rear of an empty train standing on a side track at the hall road sta tion. The body of the front car of the express was torn off and the steel fram rose in the ah? and fell' upon the passengers. Two other cars were overturned and one or two cars caught fire. It is not clear whether there were many casualties from the fire. It seeems that most of the dead were instantly killed. It Is stated that a passenger who happened' to be looi-i ing out of a window of the express saw that a collision was impenam: and shouted to his companions to lie on the floor of the car. Many were saved by this means. mm Six More Fall Victims the Pestilence to NEW CASES REPORTED The Disease Carried Outside the Original Infested District by Ital ian Refugees Mississippi Quaran tined Against New Orleans . and Texas Against State of Louisiana New Orleans, July 27. The official yellow ! fever report for New Orleans for July 26 shows twelve new cases and six deaths. The official reports are published one day late. Unofficial re ports are published covering each day, but they are of little value as the cases have not been examined, and an invest!- gation shaws many mistakes. There are now twenty-one cases outside of the original infected district in the Italian quarter, . but most of these are of Italian refugees in the immediate neighborhood. They are scattered and there is no other established foeus of infection. Quarantines were made more rigid to day. In Baton Rouge the city coun cil quarantined against New Orleans when th,e city board of health had re fused to do so. Bay St. Louis, Miss., which has hiterto refused to quarantine against this city, gave in today to Gov- - . - J f Om' -V V-t J V. V-4 V ernor Var'daman and the Mississippi state bard of health, and now all Mis sissippi Is quarantined against New Or leans. 'Inspectors were stationed on the Mississippi sound coast to warn off New Orleans! vessels.- Three vessels -were stopped 'vnd.cent to Ship Island quar antine staUkm,' the authorities refuatnej to hear any explanation offered them, j by the-sta.e authorities nI tn state yuarrtnuiie, aim aia auuress nas ra-meir all the smaller towns which were at first tempted to continue business with New Orleans. " .? Tiie 1 exas quarantine is now In force Une against New Orleans, but the rest m 1 x 1 ill. a i a a. Ui x 18 suusneu wnn ine state ,fUdIdUune- Aiempnis is the only southern city which has suffered from yellow fever persistea in mis rerusai in spite or tne threat of Mississippi to quarantine it if it .continues open to New Orleans. In spite of the quarantine little ! US uum.-u auB ! reported. The departures, from New Orleans, are not one-fifth as great as in any previous year in which yellow fever was announced, and the popu lation of the city is probably greater than before the' announcement, as 8,000. or lO.OOO persons at the Missis u. sippi sea coast resorts returned to the city after-the quarantines were de clared, so as not to be separated from their families. An optimistic feeling prevails that it will be possible to crush the fever - by getting rid of the mosquitoes, and the campaign Is being conducted on that line. The work of cleaning up, of screen ing cisterns, putting oil oh" ponds, etc. j is now well in progress, every ward being organized for that purpose. Some ) five thousand men are already em ployed in sanitary work in addition to the city and board of health em ployes, Saturday will be ' declared cleaning-up day, all the sixty thousand householders to work together to put the city in sanitary condition and get rid of the mosquitoes. . The vellow fever hospital was ot)en- a , tv, tnfaA rift vpttvrr1; v. f amj thirty of the poorer patients, all . Italians, were moved there. The Standard Oil Company has placed its wagons at the disposal of the citizens committee and has done good work in getting rid of the mos quitoes. The enforcement of the new quaran tine rule making the " detention freight vessels from Central America six instead of five days as formerly has resulted in some of the lines trans ferring their business to1 Mobile, the Mobile and Alabama health authori ties agreeing to admit fctem on the shorter detention. Such investigation as has been made indicates that the fever was brought here from Honduras. There has been since early In May a' general infection of the Central American ports, the disease coming orig'nally from Pan ama. J'ruit vessels from those ports brought a number, of sporadic cases, fOUr of which, were detained at the ( Mississippi and Ship Island quarantine stations. The boards of health put a DEATH HARVEST quarantine against these ports where the fever was reported as prevailing, but not against ports supposed to be non-infected. A proposition to quaran tine all, the Central American port' was rejected, the fruit importing com panies opposing it. The Louisiana board of health yielded on that point yesterday, but the Alabama board still refuses to do so. While Dr. Souchon, president of the Louisiana board,' believes the fever was Introduced from Belize, from j which port two hundred and twenty- five yellow fever refugees came to New Orleans, his theory isnot accepted by all. Cases have been now traced back here as far as June 28 or even to June 15, but the board of health did not become aware of the existence of the fever until July 13. American Officers in Russian Camp ' Harbin, Manchuria, July 22. Lieu tenant General Linievitch today -received Brig. Gen. Thos. S. Barry, U. S. A., and the other American at taches. The rapk and file of the army welcomed the Americans as evidence of good will and sympathy with Rus sia. Some of the higher ranks, how ever, are not so appreciative of the American action. Many Killed in a Wreck Ironwood, Mich., July 27. A passen ger train is reported wrecked near here on the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railroad. It is reported that from fifty to one hundred persons were killed. Most of the victims were Finns on their way to eC convention at Iron wood. The wreck occurred just east of Bergland station. " EXCHANGE OF CIVILITIES Komura and Takahira Call on the President Mr. Roosevelt Fails to Impress His Visitors on the Matter of Armis ticeAll Envoys Expected to Be Received at Oyster Bay Saturday Oyater Bay, N. T., July 27. Baron ftrl'i the' 12:20 train today to pay his respects to President Roose velt. tThey stayed to luncheon and In cidentally discussed not only, the peace negotiations, but that armistice in Man churia, which is so near the president's heart. It is highly improbable that the president succeeded in influencing the eastern diplomats to recommend that their government should at least not force the fighting while the peace ne gotiations are in progress at Ports mouth. The only representatives of the presi dent's household waiting to meet the envoys were Julius, the colored coach man, and Tom Llghtfoot and John Kel ly, colored messengers of the White House. Baron Komura would say nothing at all when he returned from Sagamore Hill, but Minister Takahira, when ad dressed by the; reporters, made a few laconic remarks, saying that the errand was one purely for the purpose of ex changing civilities. It was definitely announoed today that the peace envoys of both belliger ent countries will arrive here about noon Saturday, August 5, on two war ships from which they will be trans ferred to the yacht Mayflower that will lie at anchor here. The state department will have its hands full to see that the order of pre cedence is strictly adhered to when the transferring of the envoys takes place. The launches with the envoys and' their suites will aim to reach the Mayflower at the same time. If one should get ahead of the other then it will. not be fair, and they will have to do it all over again, according to Hoyle. After the formal presentation all hands will lunch in the cabin of the Mayflower. Then the party wiil separ ate. Some will stay on the Mayflower and the others will be transferred to the Dolphin, which will arrive here. Convoyed by the warships, probably the Galveston and Tacoma, which will bring them to Oyster Bay, they will proceed direct to Portsmouth and go in to session at once. Cotton Making Improvement '''.' New York," July 27. Dispatches to Dunn's Review from branches, report some injury to cotton in Georgia and, Louisiana while the weevil is abund ant in Texas, but thus far it is difficult to ' approximate the' extent of injury. Rain is needed at some points, but has been the cause of abandoned plan tations elsewhere. On the whole cot ton, appears to have gained during the week, particularly "in the states of greatest importance. ; Examining Commercial Relations St. Petersburg, July 27 The exami nation of the commercial and tariff relations of Russia and the United States has been commenced by the two governments with a view to the re vision of the treaty at the end of the year. The men in the Neva shipbuilding works went on. a-strike today. IMHOIRS FOREIGNERS Tokio Treating the American " Visitors Handsomely NO END OF FUNCTIONS Secretary Taft andHis Party Enter tained at the Imperial Palace. Minister Griscom and- Others Give Dinners in Their Honor TheEn tire Population Enthusiastic Tokio, July 27. Tokio continues en fete in honor of Secretary Taft's party. The doings of the American visitors absorb the attention of the Japanese Fireworks are constantly in the sky. At noon today Prince FUshima, who was in America last fall, gave a lun cheon at the Kiozawa Palace to Sec retary Taft, Miss Roosevelt and their immediate party. The guests included Minister Griscom, Mrs. Griscom and the entire legation staff. This afternoon Minister Griscom gave a garden party which crowded the lega tion gardens.

An exhibition of two handed Japanese fencing was given, which especially interested the Ameri cans. Tonight the nation's capital gave a dinner at the Maple Club. The hosts were the millionaires, Mitsui and Shi busawa, the last named, of whom is the governor of the Bank of Japan, and prominent railway, bank and steamship presidents. All wore ceremonial Jap anese costumes. The guests were enter tained with the f amoiis geisha dances of the seventeenth century, Japan's most luxurious era. The Japan Mail says today: "Not within our experience of over thirty years has Tokio ever given such an ar dent reception to any foreign visitors.". The princess assisted the emperor of Japan at an audience he granted to Secretary Taft yesterday, ' the empress being absent from the city. After the audience all proceeded to the banquet hall. The emperor sat at the head of the table, with the crown princess on the' table, with the crown prince on left. On either side of these were Sec retary Taft and Miss Roosevelt. Mr. and Mrs. Griscom sat opposite the em peror. A garden party followed. The party were then driven through the em peror's private park, especially opened in their honor by his majesty's orders. No foreigners have ever been admitted to it before. ROMANCE RUDELY ENDED English Girl Eloped With the Father . of Six Children Boston, July 27. The immigration of ficers made a search among the steer age passengers on the steamer Ivernia, which arrived this morning from Liv erpool, for an eloping English couple who were traveling as Mr. and Mrs. John E. Mai work. The woman is twenty years old and a pretty bru .otto. She broke down before a board of in quiry and confessed that she was Emily Sailer of Southford, England, and that she was running away with M'work, who leaves a wife and six children in Liverpool. The couple will be sent back to Liverpool. One of the ship's officers told of a scene at the Liverpool landing, stage, just before the ship sailed July 18, that led to the detention of the couple. The ship was casting off its lines when a woman arrived and shouted that her husband- had run away wih a young girl whom he intended to marry, and that he was leaving his wife and six children behind. She shouted to the officers to throw -her husband over board. As the husband did not make his Identity known it became ship's gossip as to who the runaway pair could be among the passengers. Couples eyed each other with suspicion until about everybody in the second cabin and steerage had 'a wise look. V Train Wreckers in Jail Salisbury, N. C, July 27. Special. Jacob Morgan and Jonn Brady, both 17 years old, of Rockwell, Rowan, county, have been lodged In Jail here on the charge of wrecking a passenger, train on the Yadkin branch of the Southern Railway June 27th.
