TO FOUND A NOVEL CITY.
A Scheme for Making Thirty Thousand
 People We'll to Do.

W ell tO DOs
 CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Frank Proutt, a disci- pss of Christian science, has a scheme whereby he purposes to colonize 5000 fami- lies or SC, 900 people somewhere in the west, where land can be had cheaply, and found a city which shall be different from any other city the world has ever seen. Each family will take up 160 acres of government land aud divide the real estate, forest mineral and natural wealth among them. The city, he thinks, will at once be worth $15 900 ,00O. The land around the city will be worth $l0 an acre, or S9, 600 900, and the common wealth of the community will be S24, ,600,O00, or about S4, 900 to each family.
 Setting land in cooperation" says MT. Proutt, lis tenfold cheaper than settling it individually A city can be built for S3,OO0,- 900, and the principal necessaries of life can be manufactured for 30 900 people, provided all work is done by cooperation. propose the issuing of interest bearing bonds to the members of the cooperative society first, and outside stockholders second, with the SEA- COG, 900 real estate property as security. The new city should be on high ground, where pure air can be obtained This will also af- ford good drainage. Sidewalks we want covered to avoid rain, mud, excessive heat in summer and snow and ice in winter One bakery would do all the baking, an orchestra could be maintained at cost to each in- habitant of not more than S1 year; amuse- ments would be under the general care of the community, and no person would be put to work under 21 years of a e."
 MT. Proutt is enthusiastic regarding his scheme, and will eudeavor to put it into operation. He says that he has strong hopes of success

 The night was pitch dark, and it was some time before the bewildered people in the pas senger coaches and sleepers, none of whom were seriously injured, could realize the situa- tlon, and, with the train hands, render as- slstance to the unfortunate men who were buried in the wreck. Finally three men, John Wiley and John Casey, postal clerks, and John Redenbaugh, brakeman on the freight tram, were taken out dead Joseph JeffrieS engineer on the passenger train; l.. W.

 NEW ORLEANS, Oct. S.-Workmen began last week demolshing the old United States court building in Royal, between Dumoine and St. Philips streets.

An Entire Family Cremated,

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. s.-A special to The State Journal says that family named Richter, farmers, living between Geneva and Ohio, consisting of the husband and wife and five children, were all burned to death, with the exception of the husband, who was so seriously burned that he will probably die. at their home Friday night A tramp who was spending the night with them was also burned to death. The origin of the fire is unknown, but the supposition is that it is another tribute at whisky's shrine. The tramp had been around the neighborhood fo1 some time, and that day was drunk, and MT. Richter had also been drinking It is sup posed that the former may have gone to sleep while smoking and the fire thus origi- mated. It was not discovered until the house. with its inmates and entire contents, was en- tirely consumed,

THE WHITECHAPEL MYSTERY
The Police Badly Confused and Working Blindly-Many Useless Arrests Made. Unpleasant Compiications,

LONDON, Oct. S.-Saturday's Telegraph published two sketch portraits from de scriptions of the man last seen ill company of the woman named Stride, oae of the vic tims of the Whitechapel murder fend The result has been the unceremonious arrest of every man bearing any reSernbla to the pictures, and great deal of discomfort has been caused by this new phase of police activity. Many of the arrests are made by self-constituted detectives ambitious vigil ance committeeman. The victims are gen orally discharged from custody as soon as brought before a magistrate, but some are unlucky enough not to be able to satisfy the officials of their rectitude, and are subjected to more or less annoying d4tention. One of the men arrested carried a bag in which was found a razor. The suspect is still held, and will have to give very good account of him self and razor.
 Another perplexity attending the White chapel muddle is due to the fact that the regular police do not know by sight the vari- ous amateur detectives, and the latter are occasionally held up and put. to the embar- rassment of explaining their presence and mysterious movements in the much watched district. Experts ridicule Sir Charles War rens determination to use hloodhounds i1l searching for the murderer. Scent training IS now a neglected art, and only show points are cultivated in the bloodhound, making him the most stupid of canine varie- ties and useless in man hunting.
 At the noted dog show in Warwick two years ago, though the crack dogs of the kingdom were represented, only one blood hound displayed even fourth rate gifts. The dog that tracked Fish, the Blackburn mur- derer, twelve years ago. was not, as has been stated bloodhound of pure breed, but a nongrel. But even if genuine tracker were secured, the dog would be useless in the east end, where trail could not remain many minutes unfoiled

ROWING ON A BOARD TRACK.
A Genuine Racing Novelty in Madison
 Square Garden.

square Garden.
 NEW YORK, Oct s.-The most novel con- test ever witnessed in Madison Square gar den began at 12:05 o'clock last night. It will continue until next Saturday evening, and is a rowing match on q board tra ok. Twelve noted scullers, who have won fame and money on the water in Australia, Eng land, the United States and Canada in the regulation shells, are competing for prizes on three wheeled vehicle styled the road sculler.
 The scullers are: William O'Coanor, of Toronto; John Teemer, of Mckeesport, Pa. Jacob G. Gaudaur, Canada; George Bubear, England; William G. East, England; Peter H. Conley, Portland, Me; Fred Plaisted, Boston; John Mckay, Halifax, N. S.; George John Largan, Ireland; Wallace Ross, St. Johns, N. B.
 Several of the machines broke down a few minutes after the start, and their riders were compelled to rytire temporarily. An im- mense audience was present, and included many noted actors, politicians and profes sional men. The quality of the entire audi ence was much superior to those usually in attendance at walking matches.
 The race was started by J. NJ. Hill, the well known theatrical manager He eau tioned the rowers against f)uling and the probable bad results that an accident would entail and gave the word. "Go," was all he said, but it brought in play some mighty muscles and like race horses the scullers sped away. The band played lively air while William O'Connor made the first lap, closely followed by Gaudaur, and the others ln an unrecognizable bunch. O'Connor made his first mile in four minutes.
