ABE 4 PROBABLE PURCHASERS FOR THE C. C.&L BY. Newman Erb of New York, One of the Most Interested Stockholders, Talks on the Prospects of Road.
REGARDS PROPERTY A VERY VALUABLE ONE
will be In condition to handle the heavy traffic of a big road. I am most interested in the middle portion of the road, which is the old Cincinnati. Richmond and Muncie, because it is the best part of the property. Its 180 miles on August 1, are mortgaged for only $10,000 per mile against an average of $30,000 for the rest of the system. Also it is in better physical condition. The Chicago, Indiana and Western, the thirty mile division of the North and the Cincinnati and Chicago, the forty mile division south, have heavy grades and are hard to operate and maintain. I shall make every effort to have the middle division perhap3 the entire road taken out of receiver's hands, as soon as possible, then the rehabilitation will commence and it will then be time to talk about the sale of the C. C. & L. to another railroad."
There Are Four Railroad Systems, He Points Out, That Could Use Railroad to Good Advantage.
(American News Service) New York, Oct. 23. Regarding the purchase of the junior securities of the Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville, in which is vested the control of the property, Newman Erb said today: "I have control of the Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville, but I don't expect to retain it forever. Ultimately it will be sold to a larger system, but when this will take place, or who the purchaser will be, I can not yet tell.." "Of course, I have my suspicions, but these are not sufficiently well founded to warrant my mentioning any names. A number of roads could use the C, C. and L. to good advantage. There is the Chesapeake and Ohio, Tor instance. The C, C. & L. would form the connecting link between it at Cincinnati, and Mr. Ifawley's western properties at Chicago. Good for the Erie.
"Then again, the C, C. & L. would
be an excellent road for the Erie, affording a western entrance into Cincinnati. At the present time the Erie gets into that city over the C, H. & D.
and a rather cumbersome arrange
ment. "Then there is the seaboard airline, The C, C. & L. would be of great stra-
getlc advantage to it. The fourth possible purchaser is the Canadian Pacific. This road has but a single large Bource of coal anywhere along its 13,OfX) miles and that la in the Crow's Nest region, away out in western Canada. Now that It owns the Wisconsin Central, the Canadian Pacific would have Its own line directly into the Ohio
coal fields, did it but purchase the C, C. and I "There are four possible purchasers:
you can take your choice. None of the
first class carriers would! buy the road as it is now involved in all the complications of a receivership and facing the necessity of probable reconstruction. Repair Badly Needed. Many millions of dollars will have to be spent on the property before it

Full" will be at the Gennett at an early date. This event merits unusual attention. Eugene Walters's great play of modern New York, "Paid ia Full," holds an extraordinary place in
dramatic criticism. It stands alone as
a play that has been universally prais
ed, by dramatic critics in every city
where it has been seen. This fact establishes its exceptional power and
worth, and is apart from the evidence furnished by the three million persons
who have seen it. far more than ever have witnessed any other play in a like time. Such unvarying tribute
from dramatic critics as has been giv
en to "Paid in Full" is unprecedented. Many plays have been generally commended, though against all of these a critic's pen now and then has dissented from popular verdict. Not so with "Paid in Full." In New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, wherever it has been played, it has swept all dramatic writers to highest enthusiasm. All have called it the greatest play of the age.

Two aeroplanes foreign made, pre
sumably American (Wright) machines are to be purchased with the idea of
learning "how to do it," and four dirigibles are to be proceeded with imme

works of Victors Sons & Maxim, at Barrow, where it is evolving under the direction of several naval officers. In the meantime the Aldershot airship sheds and works are being reconstructed, with the idea of giving the army one more chance if the naval experiments prove successful.
Mrs. Hamlyn, of St. George street, Wnitectaapel, is a prominent member of a limited but lucrative profession that of monkey trainer. She prefers to call it "civilizing" them, as she regards the larger apes as merely little human savages who have lost the power of speech. ''Peter." the chimpanzee who has been appearing in New York at a salary of $1, 5 a week, is one of Mrs. Hamlyn's pupils, and she counts sixteen other educated apes who are now earning money in vaudeville as her "old pupils." Discussing her methods with her
Simian scholars, Mrs. Hamlyn said: "My aim is not to produce a monkey which will perform tricks, but to make the monkey behave exactly like a well brought up child. "To teach a monkey tricks after 1 have brought it up to behave like a child, is a very easy matter. It resembles teaching a human being. ."During the first forty-eight hours I get a complete mastery over the monkeys, and show them that I am to b3
htrusted. The rest is comparatively
easy, for, like children, they are anxious to do everything they see me do.
One of them took up washing the stairs in my absence. Unfortunately, he got

three sites in the heart of clubland to choose from, and the choice will depend upon the membership, but we hope to be installed by the end of next
month." Apart from the room where members ! will hold converse with deceased rel- j atives, the club will be exactly like any j
other West End club. The president is "a man of acknowledged rank in the scientific world."

"Polly of the Circus." The record breaking American play, "Polly of the Circus," which kept theaters in New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia packed with thousands of delighted playgoers for two whole years, is soon to be presented here for the first time, and the visit of this famous attraction will undoubtedly prove the most important and successful event of the present season.

The list of attractions announced for this week at the Murray theater promises to be an exceptionally meritorious
program, comprising Miss Kate W atson
and Mr. Gus Cohan and oompany,
Rever and French, Busch and Keiser,
and Mr. George Daun. Miss Kate Watson and Mr. Gus Co
han and company will be the most conspicuous offering in the one act pastoral comedy, "The Hoosier Girl." a playlet that has been acknowledged by the best critics to be one of the most delightful dramatic comedy sketches presented this season in vaudeville. The reputation of the players is sufficient guarantee that the playlet will be well acted. Reyer and French, in a singing and dancing act, are top notchers for good comedy and music. Busch and Keiser, in a comedy acrobatic act are clever. Mr. George Daun, the instrumentalist, plays some classic solos, duetts and trios on several instruments at the same time. The illustrated song is good this week. The motion picture? will show the latest and best subjects
Lady Aberdeen, having been asked by the South Dublin Board of Guardians to discontinue the anti-tuberculo sis crusade in Ireland on the ground that it was creating a scare and becoming harmful to the industrial welfare of the country, has written, in reply, pointing out that the crusade owed its origin to the reiterated warnings of the medical profession in Ireland, coupled with figures submitted by the Registrar-General for Ireland. It was not within the power of any individual to stop the campaign, she asserted. "It is being carried on not only here, but in every enlightened country," the Countess proceeded; "and the public

Last night was the regular meeting j night of the board of directors. The ! board was kept busy all evening, hav-! ing a great amount of business to look
after. Several new changes were inaugurated in the management of the Post's affairs.
An up-to-date residential club for Spiritualists is to be established in the West End shortly. The organizers of the International Club for Psychical Research have gone about their work very quietly, but they have already succeeded in obtaining a membership of more than one thousand. According to the "Annals of Physical Research," a quarterly journal, which will be published today, the new club will not aim in any sense at being a "mystery" club, but it will provide all the accessories and conditions requisite for experiment and research. The journal says: "It is believed by the organizers and patrons, among whom may be counted many distinguished men of science, that the study of the powers latent in man and of the more recondite problems of psychology cannot fail to be accelerated by such social intercourse as a club of this nature will afford, inasmuch as it will be synthetic of all that Psychical Research. Spiritualism. New Thought, Theosophy, and Christian Science ultimately Intend, and it is fully expected that, with the social recognition thus gained, modern psychology in its numerous specialized aspects will obtain the catholicity which it deserves, and which could not be secured to the same extent under any other auspices." One of the organizers told me yesterday that the internal management of the club would be entirely in the hands of the members. "The club will be divided into subsections, after the manner of the Lyceum and Sesame clubs," he said. "A special room will be set apart for seances, and it is likely that the various sections will meet daily in this room. "The experiments will be conducted on strictly scientific lines, and every endeavor will be made to keep out im
postors. The entrance iee win De two guineas, and the annual subscription
will also be two guineas.

The new piece of statuary adorning the Post rooms, so kindly donated by Mr. J. B. Hegger, has quite a bit of interesting history connected with it. The work is done in bronze and by a celebrated artist who happened to b? in this part of the country at the time and place in which the scene is located. The work shows Hegger himself true to life, standing in front of a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway map with time card in hand, and wearing that usual last and strayed look to which Hegger was so accustomed when traveling on the road. Whether or not J. B. ever found his objective point, for which he launched at that particular time, is a disputed question. This all happened away up in St. Paul and how he ever got back to Richmond is the question. The boys' of Post C are sad. They are going around the club rooms with a look of suffering that indicates heavy hearts. Their sorrow is intense, their grief unconsolable and the future looks gloomy and forlorn. And the cause of all this is the departure of our good friend and brother C. O. Tooker for Kokomo, where he will make his future permanent residence. How Post C is to survive the shock of the loss of this estimable gentleman is going to be for the future to determine. Tooker, or rather "Took," leaves Monday for Kokomo. where he will engage
in business. That every member of the post wishes him well and Godspeed is without question. Every member of Post C regrets greatly the going of "Took." but trust his future in Kokomo will be one continued success. And with his departure the Post loses its most valued and trusted worker, and he leaves a place behind that will be difficult to fill. No one in the entire Post has.done more to bring about the comforts and pleasure of its members than has C. O. Tooker. It matters not whether It was to be a lunch or a smoker, a game of cards or a whirl at billiards, "Took" was always willing and ready. With his wholesouled humc-
he was ever ready for work, always yours to command and willing to oblige. His famous lunches will ever remain a pleasant memory of Post C. His skill in arranging everything, from the cutting of the cheese down to the
mixing of the soup, will ' ever be attested to by the boys of Post C. We will miss all this, and more too. His genial personality, his merry laugh becomes a pleasant remembrance of the club rooms. The Post has received an invitation from the Commercial club to attend a smoker given Thursday evening of this week to the Young Men's Business club. A number of the boys will arrange to be present and add their mite to doing honor to the young men who have done so much for Richmond. Post N of Marion has established their new club rooms and will move into them in the near future. Tooker is doing some bossing of his own now. He has lost his job as "Chief Cook" and is very independent Next Saturday is meeting night of the post and a large attendance of members is desired. Arrangements will be made at that time for the smoker and hot time generally that will be pulled off Friday evening, Nov. 5th. The state officers will be here on that date and a big entertainment will be arranged for. The board of directors have appointed the following men to help in the management of the cigar sales: Wm.

If you want to have anything dyed from an old hat down to your hair or mustache, send the same to Kokomo. Post C boys will please take notice. C. O. Tooker is spending the day in Ft. Wayne or Winchester. Frank Highley was greeted by our good friend and fellow sufferer and press chairman Scott of New Albany, during the last week. And think, the town is dry. "Uncle" Billy Kramer's farewell to Took was most painful, and he gave a
little timely advice too that might be lived up to with proper results.
TRACE IS FOUND OF THE MURDERER
presented itself today was that he had also been slain and his body secreted or destroyed. His Description Given. Coroner Savage of Suffolk county from various information, has been able to learn that Mueller answered the following description: Height 5 feet, 7 inches; weight 175 pounds; complexion, swarthy; very dark brown hair and mustache: light blue eyes and thick bushy eyebrows, well dressed and erect in bearing. "This new witness," said Coroner Savage, "has also furnished me with a clue by which I believe I shall be able to trace the movements of the slain girl up to the point where she was last seen alive."
