Detectives Obtaining New Clues to th'

Detectives Obtaining New Clues to the
 Murder of Andrew '. Peck.
 VIEWPOINT, July 16.-There have lately been two strangers here trying to ferret out evidence to convict Rudolph Stoeffel. They are Detectives A. Esten and Frank of New York. Stoeffel is accused of murdering
 Andrew J. Peck some weeks ago. The de- tectives have obtained new clues and they say that they have enough evidence to con- vict him.. The missing gun has not been found About three hundred people attended the auction sale of Peck's personal property. It brought $500. The woman Mary Peck was once his wife. He married her in 1855 at Poultney, N. Y., and deserted her h three years. She never saw or heard of him for twenty-one years. At last she got 8 clue to him and traced him to Newtown, where she lived with him for several years, although he got & divorce from her four years after their marriage A daughter who was born to her in '59 lived at Peck's with her for son1s time and is now the wife of M. Stuart of Roches- ter, carpenter, and is stopping at Sheriff Glover's in Newtown. Mrs. Stuart is proba- | bly, the right heir to the estate of Peck, which amounts to about $6, 900. Jennie Lockwood, the woman who was living with Peck at the time of his death and who at first claimed tc be his wife, puts in a claim for about $10C wages, which she claims gre due her. She will probably get the money. Asher Peck oi Iowa, brother of the deceased, William Prinehard, Peck's brother-in-lsw, and Dr. ! Peck of New York, 6 son of the murdered mans half-brother, all claim to be heirs to | the estate.

Ex.COuncilman Harry Stevens The
 Reom1ng South-Magical Prosperity
 of One-Year-Old Town New
 Houses, Factories, Ete.s by the
 Wholesa1e.
 MT. ". A. Beers has just received a letter from his friend, sx-Councilman Harry Stew ems, who recently went from this city to Tal- lapoosa, Ga., wherein glowing account is given of the present prosperity and future prospects of Tallapoosa. Mir. Stevens says: 'sThe climate here is simply delightful; for the past two weeks the thermometer ranging from 75 to 92, with plenty of showers and comfortable nights. AS to society it is, of course, not just like New Haven or Saratoga,
 but will say have never in my life met 8 more congenial class of people than here,
 mostly from the North and West; bright, jovial, wide awake, active, energetic busi- ness men, all on an equality. Of course this town being only one year old is susceptible of very great improvements, which are rapidly taking place. Money here is worth 15 to 90 per cent. per annum on ample security. Real
 estate is changing hands every day. More than 300 buildings have been constructed
 since my arrival here. Several large facto-
 ries are now going up. We have bank just started and new enterprises are the order of the day. A year ago there was less than 500 population here, now about 2,50O, and by January. 1889, I have no doubt will be found from four to five thousand. Real es- tate has already advanced on our best ave. nue from twelve dollars per front foot to seventy-fve dollars per front foot There are plenty of good lots rang ing in price from one dollar tc one thousand dollars, size 50 by 150 feet. have bought 8 lot and built me seven room l house. My family are here and we live 1T our own house. If I, had $5,000 in money I they could get good living from the income i alone, and l expect my stock in our mics company will bring me good living in tht | very near future. Should you or other New Haveners wish any further information vii l give it, or if there be anything can do fo, ! them here let me know and will cheerfully i do it.'
 MT. Stevens sends to MT. Beers with hi letter samples of the mica his company ar, mining, also printed statement giving tn 1 names and officers of the company, which i called the East Alabama Mica Mininj company with capital stock of $60, ,000 Harry Stevens is treasurer of the company The capital is all paid in, non-assessabl and divided into 3, 400 shares at $25 each
 Propositions from large dealers have beel received to take She entire products of tn | mines for term of years. The averag
 price per pound has been about $2.25 to $a
 MT. Stevens is quite positive that Tallapoes
 is going to be the place to make money i I and that those who are the "early birds" vii | reap the richest benefits.

Winona and SOashvvestern.D

In the issue of the COURIER of 17th of Au-
 gust, 1886, was an article with above head-
 ing, copied from the St. Paul, Minnesota,
 Globe of August 7th, 1886, speaking of an
 enterprise in which New Haven gentlemen
 were interested. It will be seen by reading
 the article below, taken from the Daily
 Stockholder of New York, that it would
 seem the Winona and Southwestern was to be built
 LACKAWANNAs NEW ALLY.
 The Winona and Southwestern railroad has, it is announced, signed contracts with the Joliet Steel company for it's rails, and the work of construction is to be begun at once. According to the Chicago correspondent of the Kiernan News company, the new ex- | tension will give Lackawanna a through ! transcontinental route from New York city \ to San Francisco. Under present permanent | traffic arrangements with the Green Bay, | Winona and St. Paul railway, which is owned | in harmony with the Delaware, Lackawanna | and Western system, the Winona and | Southwestern road will form part of & con- | tinuous line between Council Bluffs and | Omaha on the west, and Green Bay on ! Lake Michigan. At this excellent lake port | connection is made with the steel steamers | and barges which, via Buffalo, form part I of the Delaware, Lackswanna and Western l Railroa dcompany's through route from New | York city and the anthracite coal mines of \ Pennsylvania Over this very direct route, | taking advantage of cheap water transit as | far as possible, anthracite coal can be carried | westward at the minimum cost, and this connection and alliance will give the Della | ware, LackawanR and Western l company it's best and cheapest
 access to the anthracite coal markets of the | West, and to the Winona and Southwestern | road coal traffic from the East which will | be of the greatest importance and value to l revenues of the company. By the construc- ton of the Winona and Southwestern rail- way (375 miles), a link will be supplied I which will constitute.two new transcontinen- tai lines. 1. It will open Q direct short l line between the Canadian system of rail- | roads, at the Sault Ste Marie, and the Paeif- l ic railroads centering at Omaha-notably the Union Pacifc-thus afording through line from Montreal and other Canadian points to | the Pacific ocean and all intermediate points. ! This connection is certain to be most l important factor in the adjustment of the Ftrsnscontinental business. 2. By it's connec- l tions with the Delaware, Lackawanna and | Western system, through it's steel barges on | the great lakes, and the Green Bay railroad | from the east and the Union Pacific railroad | from the west, it will constitute the cheapest transeontinenta1 line in existence for heavy | freight between New York city and San Francisco California, and Portland, Oregon. President Samuel and ex-Seoretary William Windom, president of the Winona and l Southwestern, who are en route to Europe, l will upon arrival there conclude all other necessary arrangements. The company has large financial backing and the details to be ! arranged are simply formal.
