Mtl RAILWAY rlMAILI WILL BE Fl RTIIER EI I FADED. Preliminary Hteps Toward Building a lew Line Bereit er Asked for a Mlrhlftan Railway. READING. Pa.. Aug. l.-From a document filed in court to-day it is understood that the Wabash railroad system will be extended from Baltimore to Rvadlug and thence to New York. This afternoon the Reading. Incaster A Southern Railroad Company placed a mortgage of J2.30U.000 on record. There are bonds of a par value of $1,000 each, bearing 5 per cent, interest for forty years, to De paid in gold at maturity. Isaac Spatz, of Mohonsvll'e, is president and Sydney C. Long, of Baltimore, Is 91 MM tary. The officers of the company are in Lancaster, Baltimore and Nw York. The mortgage Is given to the Mercantile Turst Company of New York, trustee for the bondholders. Xhe documents says the company is to build and operate a railroad from Beading to Baltimore. President Spatx in speaking of the new line, said: "It may take a little time until building operations are commenced, but we expect to start this fall. F rom Reading to thv vicinity of Tene Hill it will practically occupy the route of the Reading, Lancaster & Baltimore road, From lerre Hill a new route will be used. The road will save titty mil. s from the coal regions to Baltimore." When asked if it had any connection with' any otlu-r big mpaiiy. Mr. Sp-ttü tmid: "You may say that at Reading und in Baltimore the new line will have important connections." HIS SALARY TOO LARGE. Charge Against a President Whose Kailwar the Court is Asked to Sell. PONTIAC, Mich., Aug. l.-A bill of complaint was filed in the Oakland County Circuit Court, at Pontiac, Mich., to-day, representing Charles Stone. William H. Barbour and Al Sells, all of New York city, asking that a receiver be appointed for the Pontiac, Oxford & Northern Railroad, 100 miles long. The bill of complaint makes charges thatJ President Hugh Porter s salary of 912,000 a yi-ar, is too larg that he has manipulated the finances of the road until he holds $400.000 that ought to be turned into the treasury, and that at one time this amount was 95O5.00O. Judge Smith granted a temporary injunction forbidding the removal of the company s book, r paper, or cash from the Jurisdiction of the court, and also restraining the present management from paying President Porta his salary of $12,uou. Bridge Appropriation Defeated. 91 JEW YORK, Auer. 1. By a vote of 41 to H the Board of Aldermen has for the second time defeated the appropriation of $6,M2.000 for the Manhattan bridge, the opposition being to the proposed bar construction which had been suggested in place of wire cables. General Railway News. A. C. Bird, traffic director of the entire Gould system of railroads, who has completed the tlrst official Inspection of the lines announces that before the end of this year the Gould system will have solid trains running direct into Chicago and Pittsburg from New Orleans and Galveston, and soon thereafter they would enter Baltimore. R. J. Chaney, formerly a trainman on the Mobile A Ohio Railroad and chairman of the grievance committee of the strikers, was arrested by a Cnlted States deputy marshal at Springfield, 111., Saturday, charged with violating an injunction of the United States Circuit Court by interfering with the operation of trains. Chaney is allegad to have threatened employes of the road. BIG TRACTION PURCHASE. New York Trait Company Secures Look Island Railways. NEW YORK. Aug. 1. More than 200 miles of electric railway, worth millions of dollars, extenQlng throughout Queens and Nassau counties. Long island, has passed into the control of a trust company in this city. This is probably one of the largest street railway deals ever made in Greater New York. For some time the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the interests represented in the subway rapid transit are said to have desired possession of these railways. Eleven years ago the Steinway interests, which then owned the horse-car system in Long Island City, began to build a tunnel under the East river. The work came to disastrous end when a dynamite explosion killed sever. il RMS and did $5o,000 damage. By means of this tunnel the trolley system of Long island could be made a part of the subway system of Manhattan and several times it had been reported that the electric pstem of Queens had passed Into the control of the Belmont interests. Whether the trust company represents the Belmont or the Pennsylvania Kuilroad Interests could not be learned. In addition to lines already in operation many unused franchises go with the roads purchased, so the company acquiring the property can practically gridiron the borough of Queens. Franchises Secured In Kansas. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 1. Superintendent A. A. Anderson, of the I niuii Traction Company, has been notitied that franchises for an ele.-tric interurban line have been granted him in the cities of Councils, Indent sdajaeSi Cherryville and Coffeeville, Kan. Mr. Anderson has been after franchises ind. pendant of the I'nion Tract on Company. 1 1 will build a line connecting the four towns and has other . itics i:i the Suntlowci State in prospect.

Fight Between the Builders League and I nionists to Continue. PITTSBURG, Aug. 1. The fight between the Builders' League and the Building Trades' Council seems to be on in earnest. The breach was widened by the action taken at a meeting of the trades' council to-night, which lasted until midnight. After much discussion the following letter waa sent to the secretary of the Builders' League: "The committee from the Building Trades' Council authorized to confer with your honorable body submitted its report of the me ting held July 31, and at a regular meeting of the trades' council this resolution was unanimously adopted: " 'Resolved, That we, the members of the Building Trades' Council, in regular convention assembled, do hereby refuse to concur in the recommendation offered by the Builders' League, namely, that all men go back to work on all jobs in dispute; and It Is further " 'Resolved, That this body cannot see its way clear to urge the men to return to work at this time. "We desire it to be understood that we stand ready at all times to arbitrate any and all questions that are in dispute or that may arise in the future." MANY MILLS TO BE IDLE COTTO MARKET SPECULATION CAISES CESSATION OF WORK. Millions of Spindles Will Be Stopped nnd Thousands of Operatives Will Have Nothing- .o Do. BOSTON, Aug. L In cotton manufacturing circles jn this city it is said that more than 2,000,000 spindles will be Idle throughout the North during the month of August, due mainly to high prices in the cotton market and the hesitancy of purchasers of goods to agree to any marked advance while any raw material purchased before the rise remains in the storehouses. Attempts have been made to induce all cotton manufacturers to enter a general agreement to shut down for a stated period or on certain days of each week, but owing to a large number of unfinished contracts an ironclad agreement was deemed inexpedient at this time. The conditions iu the cotton market have caused much inconv nfc nee in Fall River, the textile center of North America. About one-third of the 30,000 operatives there have Leen idle this t k, and of the 3,000,000 spindles TOO.oOO will not be working next week. Iu Lowell, another leading mill center, the high price of cotton has not had any noticeable effect on account of the long shut-down of six eofporatloM during the strike of the operatives. In Maine the mills at Lewiston. Lasbon and Brunswick will shut down for two week.-. Among other corporations which also will curtail their product are the Quem City, of Burlington, and the North Powual, of PownaL, VC, the lionadnock mills, ot Clareinont. and tli Coctteeb milis, of Dover, N. 1 1 ., the Bernon mills, of Georgeville, R. 1., and other plants In the latter State, and several of the corporations in the QulnnebaUS valley, eastern Connecticut. There is a confident feeling in cottonmill circles that after September is well advanced a general improvement in market conditions will occur. BiK Ileal in Lumber. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l.-A deal has been consummated whereby the controlling Interest in the West Side Lumber Company, whose principal holdings are in Tuolumne county, passed from VY. H. Croker, of the Croker- elworth Bank, to Widiam R. Thorsen, a millionaire lumber man of Milwaukee, and several associates. It is said the price paid was in the neighborhood of $2,500.000. New Incorporations Falllna; Off. NEW YORK. Aug. l.-Papers filed for new corporations with a capital of $1.000,000 each or more in July represented the unusually small total of $1U0U,U00, or the lowwat. r mark of the current year. For the seven months of l!M3 the total is $1,251, tioi.ouu, compared with $124,000,000 last year in the like period and $L',M2,700,ooo in fDOJ. HUNTING FOR A NEGRO.

When Adolphus Beaur, a young farmer of Iredell county, returned to his home, his wife was missing. The neighbors wer notified and the body of the woman was found in a well.

Aug. l.-Harry Mlnard. tfixty years old, was found dead with a bullet hole in his breast at his home three miles from Kenton early to-day. William Xickolson, a mulatto, is suspected of the crime.

A posse is in pnravtt and there are threats that if captured he will be lynched. QUARREL IN A SALOON. Thomas V Tlerney Hit in the Head with a Beer Bottle. At a late hour last night the police were called to Banks's saloon, on the corner of Illinois and Maryland streets, where Thomas N. Tierney, of 30i) East Market street, had been hit in the forehead with a beer bottle. He had become invoived in an argument with another man who waa drunk and Inclined to be yuarreisome. Without any evident cauet he hurled the bottle at Tlerney and inflicted a serious wound on his scalp. He was removed to the City Dispensary, where Dr. Mackey sewed up the cut.

BORN A FIGHTING MAN

MA J. GEX. S. B. M. YOIXG. WHO WILL SICCEED LIEIT. GEX. MILES. Had a Good Civil War Record and Made a ame for Himself on the Frontier Some Life Incidents. Boston Globe. Major General Samuel B. at Young, who has been designated as chief of staff of the army and has become lieutenant general, succeeding Miles, upon the latter's retirement for age, Is a red hot, nre-eating fighting man. Six or seven years ago he was a mere major of regulars. Once in his military career, ns the story runs, when he was the commanding officer at Fort rjhtoa, in New Mexico, it was reported to him that a soldier had "tanked ud" in Las Vecas to such an extent that rhe had landed in Jail. Young rode into town the next day with a dozen troopers. He dismounted and, drawu saber in hand, entered the courtroom. There sat the prisoner and the justice of the peace was proceeding with the trial. Then this iceue was enacted: Young Private Murphy, attention! Murphy jumped up and faced his commander in the military attitude directed. Young Right face! Forward, march! Murphy obeyed with promptness and tramped down the aisle and out of the courthouse ,door. The troopers remounted and galloped away with him to the fort before what had happened had fairly dawned upon the Justice of the peace. Young fought in the civil war. Then he chased Indians. During the Spanish-American war he landed on the Island of Cuba and pushed on up to Sibonty. He asked Joe Wheeler the whereabouts of the government campground and was told that the Spaniards were occupying it. He said he would go right out and drive them off. He did. He fought nob'y at the battle of Guaslma.-. Then he looked over toward Caney and del.i red he could take that place with his brigade before it grew too dark, but permission to advance at that time was not granted. Later he took 'a whack at maintaining order in the Philippines. Now, in days of peace, he foresees a conflict in the future. Speaking at a banquet of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce six months ago, he said: "If we wish to gain the supremacy in commerce in the East we must maintain such a military force (army and navy) in the Philippine islands that it c:m act instantly and effectively at any point in the Orient, and that fact must be well known and Understood by Oriental peoples. The larger and more efficient the force, and the more widely its strength and efflclencjr are known, the longer will the inevitable conflict of arms be delayed. No One can prophesy when it will come, nor what will be the pretended or real causes, but the time will come when we will have to tight to maintain the supremacy of our commerce." SA SOLDIER AT TWENTY-ONE. He was twenty-one when, as plain "Samuel Young," he entered the Unfall army as a private in Co. K, Twelfth Pennsylvania Volunteers, In IIS, in answer to President Lincoln's appeal to his fellow-countrj-men's patriotism to save thye Nation. Stalwart, strong and ready to do service, no matter how small, for his country, the lad from Pittsburg soon gained the attention of his superiors, and before many months found himself no longer a private, but a commissioned captain iu the Fourth Pennsylvania Lavairy. Those were stirring times for the inexperienced young officer. He had everything to learn in military science, but he was not lacking in pluck and ambition, and fce stuck valiantly to his post, however tierce might be the conflict, and found suflicieut reward in the chiefs of his men. The gallant Pennsyl vanians were inspired by his bravery and fought well under their young officer, so well that he was SOOfl raised to the rank of major, in less than a year after his enlistmeut as a volunteer. In fact, Major Young soou demonstrated to his superlurs that he was a natural born soldier and that lack of West Point or other training was no handicap to his military success. Although always eager for battle, he was, wheu iu action, cool and calm, leading his men in splendid order into the thick of the light and ou to the victory that was always theirs. Small wonder that Major Young was frequently called to the front to the envy of older officers. The years of '62 and '03 were to him a series of fights, encounters, skirmishes with the enemy, and more than one of hit superior officers had their eyes and their hopes fixed on the IVnnsylvanian, who never disappointed them. He was undoubtedly a born lighter and a born leader, and his commanders recoguized his ability by assigning to him an Important post of command with the army of the Potomac In tsH, Lee's strongest forces were leading the Union army a dance iu Virginia, and oung was exultant at being sent to the scene of the most important engagements at the latter part of the war. Then began movements which showed to the lullest extent the young major's mettle in warfare. He found himself dealing with an enemy whose tactics were as brilliant as those of his commanding officers, Grant and Sherman, two of the greatest generals in the Cnion army. He won the unstinted praise of these men more thau ouce, and after one particularly exciting engagement he found himself raised to the rank of lieutenant colonel, an unusually high standing, indeed, for a man scarcely twenty-four. "There is a man who will make his name familiar in military life some day, not only in his own country, but across the water, too if he lives to come through this war,'' said his superiors, men who had scars from many a battle and had seen soldiers far elder than Young flinch and turn pale at less tierce fusillades than those into which he darted with the ringiug command to hie men to "Come on!" IN AT THE DEATH. At Sailors creek, Virginia, the last encounter with the Confederate army under Lee took place, and the Pennsylvaniau was "in at the death." The "Yanks," under Grant, were in full pursuit of Lee, moving on a parallel road with the enemy in the direction of Appomattox courthouse, and whenever the hostile forces were near enough there were lively combats between the opposing armies. At Sailors creek the young Pennsylvanlan took a very active part in the light, and brought himselt still more prominently betöre the notice of his superior officers. He succeeded in delaying Lee s army in a sharp erkirmish to the extent of several hours, so tnat the I'nion army reached the cdurtnouse several hours before the Confederates. When the enemy Anally reached their ucstination, weary, starved and reduced la ranks, they found themselves confronted by a formidable array of bluecoats, before whom they made no attempt to stand. For his bravery at Sai.ors creek and the enengagemtns imediately succeeding, Young became a colonel. Young and his brave men bore a very important part in the proceedings following Lee s surrender, and the young officer, after ' four years of hard and faithful service, left the army at the close of the war with the rank of brevet brigadier general "for gallant and meritorious service during the campaign terminating with the surrender of the insurgent army under Gen. K. E. Lee." After having such a taste of martial life, Young found it hard to go back to the quiet, peaceable existence of the citizen, and ueiore long he waa back again in the regular arm), as captain of the Eighth Cavalry. For twenty-five years he served in the West against Apaches and other savage lAbes. and his name was a terror to tbm swarthy chiefs that warmed over the mountains and plains on murder intent. Indian lighting and the passing of superiors in rank, with the years of piair.e warfare, made him a lieutenant colonel. Then came the call for troops in the Spanish-American war, and In that brief struggle Young served as brigade COnv manuvr und r General Shafter. At the end of the war he was sent to the Philippines to preserve or enforce order among the restless inhabitants of those turbulent islands la the Pacific. So well did he perform his duties that in 11W0 the gallant American received hie commission of major paneeal. In the spring of that year General Young sallied forth to ubdue the insurrectionists

and inflicted heavy defeat on them in northern Luzon. In July he Installed a municipal government at Vigan, a little town in the Luzon district, and in this way held a grim hand on the Insurgents, though he was kept bupy all during the summer quelling varioi dj uprisiugs. He had already made a remarkable record for himself In the Philippines when he was recalled in 1901 to be placed at the head of the department of California. That he has been constantly under the eye of the secretary of war Is evident from the rapid progress he has recently made in his army career. PIT AWAY IS STORAGE."

The Confessions of a Manager of a Warehouse. New York Times. Whenever New York people buy anything or have anything given them that they do not want just then, but which they think they may want some time, they put it in storage. Nafurally. household furnishings and wearing apparel constitute the bulk of this embalmed property; but warehouses gather into their capacious quarters many things not included in either category. There is medicine, for instance. Nobody but the manager of the worehouse has any Idea how many bottles of medicine are consigned to his keeping in the course of a year, and even he never knows till he comes to sell unclaimed goods. "We store away medicines by the gallon," said one manager. "There are patent medicines and medicines put up according to prescriptions. Of all the trash on which people pay room rent it strikes me that on nothing else is money so absolutely wasted. It is really a dangerous investment. Whether the people whe- put the stuff in storage have so little consideration for their own wellare as to take it after it has been packed away for a year or so is a question. If they do, It is their own funeral, figuratively and literally. Only a small portion of the medicine we receive Is included In a doctor's paraphernalia. Families and unattached individuals gather up whole chests full of medicine which they are loath to part with, and it is put in storage to f rment and work out its deadly combinations. "Another thing that strikes a warehouse manager as peculiar is the number d stuffed birds and animals we are asked to take care of. When I was a youngster I was not in a position to make much of a study of natural history, but you would have to go far afleld to stall ie nowadays in that particular sclenc. if there is any kind of bird of the air or beast of the forest or fish of the sea that I have not got acquainted with In the past ten years. I should like to meet him right off. And I have gained all that knowledge through hobnobbing with stuffed specimens that have been put in storage. "But not all the pets my patrons would like to put in storage are stuffed. Some of them are very much alive. Only a few weeks ago a woman living in Central Park West telephoned me to come up and make an estimate on storing her furniture. I looked p.'I through the house and figured for a few minutes. Just as 1 was about to name my terms the woman came at me with a new proposition. " I haven't shown you quite everything I should like you to take care of,' she said. 'They the rest of the things are down in the cellar.' "Her manner made me curious. 'Oh,' said I. 'and what may they be?' " 'Alligators,' she said. 'I've got two of them. They are the dearest little creatures In the world. I don't know what T shall do with them while I am away. I have Offered them to all my friends, bid nobody seems prepared to accept the offering. Do you think you could keep them?" Another queer customer 1 ran up against a short while ago was a man who wanted to pot his tombstone in storage. He was still a young man, and the case interested me. " 'How,' said I, 'did you come to Invest In such a grewsome memorial thus early in your career?' "The fellow grinned cheerfully. 'It was a bargain,' said he. 'I always had a keen eye for bargains. There isn't a woman in New York that can pick one out at a greater distance. 1 knew this stone was a bargain the minute I set eyes on it. I spotted it one day while nosing around in a marble cutter's shop. It was completed, with the exception of the name and date, and I fell in love with it at first sight. I asked who it bolonged to. The dealer told me. but I don't remember the man's name. Anyway, it doesn't matter about that. 'He'll never get to use it,' eaid the dealer sadly. 'It's a pity, too. because it was his own design, and he was quite proud of it.' " 'Why can't he use it?' said I. " 'Because he was drowned In Lake Michigan six weeks ago.' said the dealer, 'and won't need a tombstone.' " 'Of course. ( was sorry the lake had cheated the fellow out of the pleasure of resting under his own tombstone, but In one sense I was glad, because I wanted that stone. I asked the price of it. The dealer named a figure, which he finally cut down forty-five per ce. and I took it. I kept It in my own ropm for about a year, but my folks complained that it made them nervoUs to see the thing standing around there, so I have concluded to put it in storage.' " 'In point of numbers, what one article heads the list of things put in storage?' askfd the visitor. "Clocks." was the reply. "If all the clocks wo have on hand at this moment could be set going there would be no excuse for anybody ever going wrong In the matter of time. Letters probably come next as to quantity. When cleaning-up time comes we find great bundles of them. I never pay much attention to them myself, but some of the clerks who are not so busy as I am often find time to read a few pages. Occasionally they unearth very interesting stones, but no matter how romantic the incidents, I always take care that strangers never get hold of those letters. Generally the owners of the correspondence thank me for destroying it, but now and then I run across a person in whom the bump of gratitude is wholly undeveloped, and I am treated to a peppery lecture on the evils of wanton destructiveness. 1 remember one woman who claimed that I had destroyed letters which she needed in a divorce case. She threatened to sue me for damages, but of .course she couldn't do anything, and anyway hers was an exceptional case." A IV OLD-FASHIONED FATHER. A Picture That a Good Many People Will Reeofrnlse. Kansas City Journal. The .quizzical fellow who writes to the Sterling "Bulletin" under the non de plume of "Peek-a-Boo," describes as follows his own old-fashioned father: "My father was a member of the church and for that time was considered a very intelligent man. He was well read and up to date in matters of education. Here are some of the things he taught' me, and among the first I was never to question what a preacher said, but to take It down whole. He taught me that the world was made G.uOo years ago, no more, no less, and that God took up the work and finished it in six literal days and made everything in it just as they then existed. He did not know that the horse and other animals had changed very much from what they once were. He showed me on a kind of map that he drew how the garden of Eden was fixed. I can see now tn i wire fence around the garden. The wires were made of gold ana the trees and the walks were grand. He said the walks were marble. Then he told me about the woman Adam had and how the serpent got her to eat the fruit. Then he gravely remarked that he believed it would have been better to have bad no woman. After he to'd me about the serpent doing so much damage. I said: 'Father how did that snake get in there?' He cautioned me not to ask such questions. Then he told me about how Eve got Adam into trouble and that Adam was created holy and because he listened to the woman, that had caused all the trouble and that I had to suffer for Adam's sins and the woman was at the bottom of the whole matter. "I said:, 'Father. I think mother is good and did she ever get you into trouble?' 'Well. I think sho is good, too, but she is like Eve was, she has a way of making me do about as she pleases.' " Whistler's Vanity. New York Mail and Express. No budget of stories about Whistler can afford to omit those that Illustrate his excessive vanity. The trait is exhibited In all shades, from that which shows his contempt for ignorant pretension to that which seems no deeper than an extravagant delight in flaunting the cap and bells. How he replied that "nature was creeping up" to bis pictures, and ttie famous retort, Why drag in Velasquex?" are well known; but allied with them is the less knowu or perhaps unknown reply he made to a lady who met him at the Royal Academy and exEressed her surprise at seeing him in a place e was reported never to enter. "Well." retorted Whistler, "one must do something to add Interest to the show; so hTe I am." On the Holland trip some canvases that had been expressed to a point where sketching had been planned, failed to arrive at the expected time. The lame of the artist was well established here and the honor of his visit appreciated. The official of the express company offered his apology for the Inconvenience caused by the delay, and begged to know if the canvaaee were valuable, whist-

old day? the sexton announced I death in the community by a stroke on the church bell for every year of the life that was gone. People expected, then, to live to old age, and speculation at the first tap of the bell took a a arrow range including only those who had lived the allotted time. There is no reason why people should not have the same expectancy of nge to-day, except for the neglect and abuse of the one organ ou which all the other organs depend the stomach. Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery enables men and women to be strong aud healthy, by curing diseases of the stomach (ana other orgms of digestion and nutrition), which prevent the proper nourishment of the body. M'had been sick for two years with n digestion and nervous de bility, and nod taken medicine from my family doctor for a long time without mach benefit," writes Mrs. W. H. Peebles, of Lucknow. S. C.

The Great Western l'nlveraltle. Frederick J. Turner, in August World's Work. Statistics of attendance in the leading universities of the country for the present year 3how that while the great universities whi h rest upon private foundations take the lead, they are closely followed by the state universities of the Middle West.
