\ Judge Elopes.

WICHITA, Kas. March 11.-Judge E.
C. Ruggles, who few days ago skipped
with his slenographer, wrote letter bear.
ing the date of March from st. Louis to
his wife, stating that he never expected to
return 10 Wichita, and that she should
make the best of his actions. He failed to
express any regrets, and, in fact, seemed to
be happy that he was off with his charming
clerk.
The publication of the elopement to-day
brought out considerable new evidence con-
corning it. The Judge had mortgaged some
OF his property three times, claiming to be
giving first mortgages. He sold 81, ,ooO
worth OF real estate. getting the cash. though
the property was heavily mortgaged: he
also borrowed money on it only few days
before he sold it. His library was mort.
gagged to c. r. Miller, j. c. Houston and
Reddel, who paid him $4,000. 1t is said to
be one of the finest private libraries in the
state, costing about SIS, 900.
He mortgaged his fine residence to two
agencies and got more money out of them
than il is thought TO be worth. Some who
have lost money on him and were anxious
to see justice done, made up purse OF
81 goo Tor his arrest and conviction, and the
matter was given to the detectives.

the startling statement, and proved it,
that five newspapers have more than
oue-sevcnth of the total daily circula-
ton of the United States. though there
are about l,400 daily newspapers in
this country. The five great journals
mentioned by Mr.. Rowell as making
up this immense total of circulation

noon about six miles south OF the Colorado
line, $50 miles south of Denver and 53i
from For; Worth, and at engineers station
$50.
The day has been al exciting and inter
esting one Two construction forces quit
work last night at a distance OF SO feet less
than four miles apart. The pistol which
aroused the men for wo this morning
sounded at half past four O'Clock, just as it
was light enough to see spike. Extra
time had been promised the men and all
worked with spirit and will and with the
single determination to make the connec.
tion Mt as early an hour as possible, 4 repre-
sentative OF the News arrived on the ground
about Q o'clock. The scene which met his
eye was spirited and enlivenine. Four
hundred and sixty teams We're Mt wurf. The
forces had just come in sight Of each other.
They were destined to meet in picturesque
| park laying on the southern slope of the
! Ration, just west of Emory's Peak and sur
rounded by rolling hills and cone-like noun
tains. The forces from the south entered
the valley from the south border, and the
forces building from Trinidad from the
north each turning towards the west which
side of the pass was skirted by the Grande,
toward common meeting place. Each
gang of men pushed on with will. Jacl,
Denmore, of the Grand canon force, di.
rected the men from the north, while John
w. Painter, of the construction force, man
aged the men who were laying the rails
toward the north. Dan Carey, the veteran
contractor, was on the ground, cool and
collected, and watched every movement.
Never but once during the day did he get
excited. The engineers failed to place
the center stakes, and dozen tie teams
were punched and waiting. Dan Carey's
eye caught the trouble, and berating the
engineers In vigorous English, with Hi
berian accent ordered the tie drivers to
stop for mo man on the grade" Thus
the 400 teams worked vigorously, and will
till noon. and when they stopped for din,
ner two and half miles of steel had been
laid. During the entire forenoon the cen
tral figure Of the occasion was General G
NJ. Dodge, the superintendent Of the con-
struction, and who, as citizen and soldier
has built more miles of railroad than an,
living American. He arrived early on ths

The trouble about wages at the
johnson mine in ASPEN has resulted in
about twenty-five men being laid OF. Man
ager Browne stated TO a Times reporter
that he recently increased his force from
thirty men to about fifty-five because so
many men importuned him for work at 90,
and because he was urged by citizens and
business men to increase his force. He did
not care about pushing work in the mine
but determined, at last, to make an increase.
Now, he says, since there is so much OBJ
lection to his giving employment to the
men who wanted TO work at s. he will con-
tInue as before and work the smaller force
at the old rate.
Judge Symes has succeeded in get
ting n resolution through the House OF
Representatives directing the Secretary OF
the Interior "to make an examination Of
that portion Of the arid regions of the
United States where agriculture is carried
on by means of irrigation as TO the Ma
tional advantages for storing water for ir.
rigating purposes, with the practicability
OF constructing reservoirs, together with
the capacity of the streams, and the cost OF
construction and capacity Of reservoirs, and
such other facts as bear on the question Of
the storage OF wafer for irrigatIng pur-
poses, and that he be further directed to
report TO Congress as soon as practical the
result of such investigation"

tive to seatin his light two horse wagon,
drove from one point to another, closely
watching the progress of each gang, and
giving general directions for forwarding
the work. Nothing escaped his notice.
lie saw everything.
There was the regular stop fOr dinner
and the work of laying steel was again re-
sumed rapidly. The men approached each
other, and at AZ o'clock the tie distributors
met them. The steel men rushed on, and
thirty minutes later the rails met. 1t was
necessary to cut the two rails. When the
last joint was adjusted General Dodge
drove home the first spike which held In
place. Dan Carey and Jack Denmore drove
two others and the News representative
gave the remaining spike single blow.
Then Mrs. John w. Painter. an accom-
plished and handsome lady, who braves the
discomfort of railroad camp in order to
be with her husband, took the hammer and
amid the cheers of 400 strong men, sent
home the spike which finally completed the
Denver, Texas and Fort Worth line.
There was the most general good feeling
and rejoicing among the party that made
the connection. Said General Dodge
Next to the Union Pacific, l regard ii
as the most important connection l ever
made"
Immediately after the track was COM
pleted, presentation occurred. The men
had Clipped in and purchased for their
foreman, J. W. Painter, very handsome
solitaire diamond pin and In their presence
it was presented to Mr.. Painter by General
Dodge, in very pleasant speech, in which
he complimented Mr.. Painter and referred
to the six different and important railway
connections which he had made for him as
a railway builder.
Carey's construction gang got Washburn
to lay the Panhandle City Branch.
General Dodge will remain at Trinidad
several days, closing up construction work
and looking after the surfacing of the track.
The new track is in excellent condition and
needs only finishing up. General Manager
Meek left Fort Worth tonight in his spec
ial car for Denver.
