ABOUT WYOMING:
A Railroad Through the Center
Of This Territory.
The House Passes the Yellow
stone Park Bill.
News From Egypt, Cremation
and Railroad Items.
A Union Pacific Branch.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3.-On motion Of
Mr.. Thompson a bill of a good deal of
interest passed the-house this afternoon.
1t amends the UaioezP tactic act SO as to
allow the construction of a road from
Sioux City westward via the Niobrara
valley to Granger. Wyo., on the Union
Pacific, west Of the Tooth meridian. The
object of this is to cut off the bend made
in the eastern portion Of the Union Pa
cifc, and will, it is said, shorten the dis
lance from Chicago to San Francisco $50
miles. The bill has not yet passed the
senate, but probably will 1t does not
grant any lands to the company to build
this road, but does make the road, when
built. a section Of the Union Pacific. SO
far as relates TO pro-ratine and the ex-
change Of freight cars, etc. It is under
stood that the company stands ready to
begin the building Of the road at once.
On motion of Nj. Thompson the bill
passed the house amending the Pacific
railroad act so as to authorize the con-
struction of a road from Sioux City. Ia,
to Granger, Wyo.
1.-THE above dispatch relates to a matter
Of vital importance to the people of
Wyoming, and especially to Cheyenne.
The road, if constructed, will probably fol-
low the line surveyed by the Sioux City
& Northwestern; it is even probable that
the Union Pacific has obtained the con-
troll Of that portion Of the new road al
ready built westward from Sioux City by
the former company, and will continue
its construction as originally contemplated.
If these are the facts. the Union Pacific
will o have two lines passing through
the whole length Of this territory, from
east to west; and rs a natural consequence
will need a communication with with its
southern lines at Denver. We may
therefore anticipate the speedy construc-
ton of the proposed line from Cheyenne
northward. to connect with thenew road.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. l3.-During the
past few weeks a large amount of floating
wreckage Of all descriptions has been
washed ashore at Delaware breakwater
and near Cape Henlopen. Capt Gibbons,
Of the tug North America, found on the
beach a seaman's chest with letters ad-
dressed to Geo. j. White of the bark
Thomas Fletcher, Of Brunswick, Ga.
There were also photographs Of a lady
and three children The latest dates in
the letters are February, 1884, and evil
IDENTIFY they were written by the mans
wife, who signs herself Della" There
were also letters from his mother as far
back as 1916. The life saving crew re-
port the finding of some wreckage along
the beach. The vessel referred to is
doubtless the bark Thomas Fletcher, of
New York, which cleared Brunswick,
Ga, Ocl. 25, for Buenos Ayers, South
America, lumber laden, but which, ac-
cording to latest reports, has not arrived
at her destination.

CLEVELAND, o.. Feb. ls.-Mr.
Mary NJ. futile, of Ann Arbor, Mich,
Feb. 10, 1888, arrived at Toledo. and took
the New York and Chicago limited ex-
press on the lake Shore road without
having purchased a ticket. The rule was
that passengers should have tickets for
this train. She presented the money,
but the conductor refused it and told her
to buy a ticket at Sandusky. When she
reached the latter place she bought a
ticket from Sandusky to Cleveland. The
conductor informed her that she should
have purchased a ticket from Toledo to
Cleveland, and put her off the train at the
Sandusky depot. She tainted and the
train steamed away. When she got here
she entered suit for $40, 600 damages.
To-day the Jury awarded her 80, 800.
