Thief Nurseries.

It is undeniable that the lodging houses OF
the city of New York have powerful ten
dency to produce, foster and increase crime
Instead of being places where respectable peo-
pie, reduced in circumstances or temporarily
short of money can secure clean bed for
small amount of money, they have come to
be very largely frequented by thieves and
other criminals of the lowest class, who lodge
in these resorts regularly and here consort
together and lay their plans for crimes of one
sort or another. But this is not the worst
feature of the matter. Take the case of a
young man who runs away from his home in
the country, or for any reason finds himself
stranded in the great city. In searching for
q cheap place to lodge in he naturally drifts
into one of these lodging houses, and it is
almost inevitable that association with the
people who make these places their headquar-
ters will corrupt him. In nine cases out OF
ten--I arn quite confident that this proper
ton is not too large-he turns out thief or
a burglar, if, indeed be does not sooner or
later become a murderer Hundreds OF in
stances of this kind occur every year-In-

PLANS MADE PUBLIC.
The Santa Fe Reorganization Scheme Out
lined in a Circular

Boston, Mass, Oct. 14-The plan Of re-
organization which was adopted by the
Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe directors at
their meeting last week is made public in
an official circular issued to the stock
and bondholders Of the company. 1t Is
proposed to issue new one hundred year
per cent general mortgage bonds for $50
000,00 to be secured by mortgage cover
ing all the property of the company in
Guiding all the securities representing the
contract of the ownership in the necessary
construction companies, and all equip
ment now subject to car trust lines. All
the securities of the old bonds will
be preserved so that the bonds
will have the protection OF the
existing lines with the additional security
of the completion and betterment of the
new properties from the capital proposed
to be raised. The taxes and interests
added upon that portion of the new per
cent bonds which it is proposed to issue at
once, make up al annual fixed charge OF
s.. 332, 800, or less than 81 SOC, 600, which
sum, in the directors opinion, represents
the earning power of the system this year
There is also designed to be issued 100 year
income bonds for $50. 900. 000 bearing inter
est at the rate of not exceeding per cent
per annum, non-accumulative, but paying
only from and to the extent of such earn
ings as may be found after the fixed
charges have been met within the
limit of the per cent. The IN
come bond is designed to provide
for such reductions OF interest upon
present bonds as it is found necessary to
make in order to bring the fixed charges
of the company within it's earning power
Subscriptions are invited at once for sl25.-
600, 900 of the new general mortgage 4 per
cent. bonds, subscribers of $500 IN cash be-
ing entitled to receive block consisting
of $1,000 new general mortgage per cent
bonds. All cash payments are to be
made to Kidder, Peabody & Co., of
Boston and New York, who shall hold such
monies in trust and not to be paid over to
the railroad company until it is officially
announced that the plan of reorganization
has been accepted and a sufficient amount
of securities deposited to make the reor-
ganization effective.
Provisions for the exchange of present
securities for bonds of the new issues is
given in detail. Depos is are to be made
either with the Union Trust company of
New York. J. w. Reinhald, fourth audi
tor of Boston, or Barring Brothers, OF
London.
The directors state that all interests
have been carefully considered and they
believe the above plan will prove equitable
to all concerned. They appeal to all classes
of security holders to come forward at this
crisis and protect their property from the
disaster of disintegration and bankruptcy
and state in the strongest terms that the
non-success of this proposal will result IN
foreclosure with all its attending mis-
fortunes,

VePV IlNRECOMING

Lovely tints in the wrong place are reft

For liver complaint and its multifarious
symptoms, Hostesser's Stomach Bitters is
an infalllble specific. 1t reaxes the

due impulse, but banishes an excess of

DECAPlTATEO BY CAR WHEELS.

CHuLICOTHE, No, Oct. H. - Shortly
after midnight the headless body of man
was found in the railroad yard here His
head lay on one side of the track and the
body on the other. When picked up by
members of the yard crew the body was
still twitching, life hardly being extinct.
The switch engine and two cars of "A long
train had passed over the unfortunate
mans neck. The body was taken to the
baggage room and the coroner notified.
There if was identified at that of Al 9th
ems, a telegraph operator in the service of
the Western Union telegraph company.

and it is thought he was trying to get
back to Chicago, where his position was
being held for him.

FLAMES AT LYONS.
A Forty Thousand Dollar Nil and Stock
Entirely Destroyed.

ecfal Dispatch to the Daily Eagle
Lyons, Kan, Oct. 14-At 3 o'clock in
the morning yesterday the alarm of fire
aroused the people of this city from their
siumbers to learn that the large roller
mills of George B. Doane x Co. were on
fire. The flames had attained such head
way before being discovered that all efforts
of the two hose companies, who came
promptly to the scene, were unavailing.
The total loss will be SO, 600; insurance on
the building of 900 and on stock 81, 900.
But for the fact that light rain pre-
vailed all day Saturday, half Of the bust
ness portion of our beautiful city would
now be in smouldering ruins. The loss of
the mill to this community is indeed most
serious, as it temporarily destroys our
most important manufacturing interest
and thus throws out of employment some
ten heads of families.
The mill was built in 1880, but had only
recently been entirely remodeled.
The origin of the fire is unknown
