Major Anare,s watch.

The story Of Major Andres watch,
which, after many vicissitndes, has
come into the possession of q gentleman
living in Newburg on the Hudson. IL an
interesting one. Andre at the time OF
his capture wore two watches, as was the
custom OF gentlemen at that time His
captors took both. One, General Wash.
ington forced them to give up, and it
was restored TO Andre. The other Ia the
watch in question. Its history is az fol-
lows: After andres execution il was
sold by his captors TO Colonel William
Stevens Smith, then holding q commis-
sion in the patriot army on the Hudson,
for thirty guineas. Colonel Smith, it
may be promised, married sister Of
John Adams and was the
ancestor OF the present owner
from whom these facts are derived.
Smith sent the watch under the flag Of
truce to General Robinson, command
ing the British outposts on the Hudson,
with tho request that il he forwarded to
Andres family in England. Robinson,
who, as IL proved, was "roue, and
gambler, pawned the watch aud spent
the money in curousals. Tine passed
on. and the watch was forgotten. At
the time of the Philadelphia Centennial
it came on with other relics and was
deposited in the Wisconsin department.
There sharp-eyed newspaper cores
pondent discovered it. and described it
in the column OF his journal. The
paragraph, long time after, meeting
the eye of the gentleman whose ances-
tor had sent the watch, as he supposed,
to its iightful owners hundred years
before, lie at once began to search for the
relic, trav, ling over the greater portion
of the State Of Wisconsin, and ut last he
discovered its owner in the person of q
venerable lady, who stated that her
husband had purchased it of q pawn
broker in Philadelphia nearly fifty
years before. The lady was willing to
sell, and the gentleman gladly became

Campbell was the dealer of whom Andre
bought it, Albany icing aalittle town in

Profits Of Railroad Building.

The stockholders OF the Texas West
ern Narrow Gauge Railroad have re-
solved to bond the road at SO, 900 per
mile from Houston TO Presidio del
Norte, q disiaDce OF GOO miles, the bonds
to bear 3 per cent. interest to be issued
on the completion OF every ten miles.
This road will ron over comparatively
level and open country, and fully COM
pleted and equipped ought not TO cost
to exceed $1,000 per mile. II the bonds
can be sold ut par, the owners will not
only own the road when completed, but
have some 1900 900 or more for their
reward in suprintending the building.
More than that, after the first 2OD miles
of the road are completed, the traffic
will pay fol the construction OF the rest
as fast as it can be carried on. The
iron for rails costs $36 per ton fish plates
spikes, etc, from $50 to 500 per ton, so
that the whole expense for roadb d,rails,
ties, etc, will not cost to exceed $1,000 per
mile. The rolling stock will cost per.
hapG $1,000 per mile. There is no other
expense except for grading, bridges, de-
pots and right of way, which through
Texas will not amount to more than
$2500 per mile. The road will run
through great agricultural country for
miles. When we think of what the
U. p. and g. p. roads are drawing from
the people for their local trade
alone we can form an idea of what this
little road ought to do. With the road
fully completed it will have to pay net
only about 1882 900 per annum to meet
It's interest account, or about one-twelfth
the amount per mile which these big
bruisers that run through the desert are
able to lay up. Building and operating
railroads is a cheerful business Salt
