FATALLY EURNED.
The Fonr Year old Boy of
' Templeton of Cary,
Postmaster
The little four year old boy of
postmaster R. H.Templeton, of Cary
was burned to death yesterday,
Yesterday Mrs, Templeton made
a blazing fire of light wood in the
sitting room. She was called to
some other part of the house and left
her little boy, Thomas ia the room
where she had built the' fire. In a
few"' moments the attention of the
mother was attracted by distressing
screams from her child, , The little
fellow became -terribly frightened
. when his clothes took fire and he
ran out into the yard. WhenMrs.
Templeton reached her.son, he was
enreloped in flames. , ;
The child's body was very badly
burned and he lived only "twelve
hours." All efforts to save the life
pf the boy were without avail. It is
presumed that he got too near the
fire and the flames caught his clothes.

Railway Official Gtva Their Explanations
of Existing Schedule!.
The Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday says: "
Hon. Judson Clements, of the in
terstate, commerce commission, held
two long sessions yesterday t hear
ing evidence in complaints against
certain railroads. The ' charges
against the roads were making dis
criminations, in rates against-La
Grange and Griffin, j LaGrange par
ties complained that ; freight was
carriod from New Orleans through!
their town to Atlanta for a less
charge than the same freight would
have to pay if stopped at LaGrange.
Another complaint was.made that
higher rate was charged on freight
from Cincinnati- than- on the same
reight from Cincinnati to Macon dr
Columbus, points at a greater dis
tance than Griffin; V "
President George 0 Smith, bl the
Atlanta .and West Point and West'
em of Alabama; Traffic Manager
Lut and Audi tor Hunter, of , the
same roads, were examined." Mr.'
Stewart Knott, first vies president
of the Louisville and Nashville;
General Manager Day, cf the Ocnrul-gee-
Steamboat Company, and Mr.
Hayden Miller, of theSouthera, were
examined. V , ' - - '''.,
Mr. Smith was asked if his lines
were honestly,' economically . ana
skillfully managed ; and he renlied
that they .were. The gist of his
evidence along thai line was that the
roads did not do more than pay a
reasonable interest on the capitaliza
tion. The roads are capitalized at
about $14,000 a mile and Mr. Smith
testified that it would take (30,000
to $35,000 a mile to build as good a
road as his two.
It was emlalned that the rates
from New Orleans are adjusted with
some relation to rates from Cincin
nati and" v Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New ' York and Boston to Atlanta.
One element which figures in the
ratemaking is the water competition
from the eastern to the South Atlan
tic points. " V ' ' ' '
Mr. Knott explained the basis of
rate making and told how the present,
scheme of rates grew up. He filed
numbet of tabulated statements as
exhibits and so did Mr? Smith. - ,

NEW PACIFC LINE.-
Project to b Carried Out as a fiosult of
- - -"-f- j tha Election." , ".
By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor
! Sas Feanoisoo, No. II. One of
the great projected .enterprise de
pendent, in part, on- the election of
McEinley, is onee more attracting
attention here, at San Diego and in
Chicago,. New - York and Philadel
phia. , It is the heavily-backed pro
position of a number of American
capitalists to establish on the Pacifio
coast a magnificent: line, with such
railway arrangements in the United
States bnd suctrconneciicAi with the
new trans-Siberian Line " as. will
make it a vital and effective part of
a great round-the-world system of
communication. . -u - . v
This new proposition, vVhich has
long since passed the stage of pre
liminary discussion, bids fair to be
hi: full operation before any Pacifio
port has welcomed the first of the
much-talked-of Japanese flncrs. The
project had its inception lb Chicago,
and among its most enthusiastic sup
porters are Marshall Field, the milr
lionaire dry goods man and other
Chicago millionaires. A
' The Now York end of, the enter
prise is being taken care of by E. C.
Potter & Co. In Philadelphia the
concern is supported by; William
Cramp's Sons, .he ship-bidders.
It is the intention of these capi
talists to establish a ne1 w trans
Pacific .line superior to,' anything
afloat. v Their olan calls for the con-
rstructiofi of a number of . steamers of
nn less tban BUUU tons burden and
of 20 knots speed, which trill make
them eligible to tjbe benefits of the
United States mall subsidy of $4 per
traveled mile. The distance from
the California coast to Hon? Kone is
7,000 roilesf and thus each steamar
would oe entitled to a oonus oi f sa,
000 for a single tripi i C
It is proposed tq begin the enter
prise with four twin-screw steamers,
capable of carrying , 6,500 tons of
freight, "200- first-class passengers
and 1200 steerage passengers. As
originally proposed the line was to
run from San Diego to the ports of
China and Japan, but since then an
agent of the company . has come to
the coast and opened negotiations to
make San Francisco the terminus on
this coast . . " ' V
