prints the following additional particu.
lars:
One Of the projectors OF tho railroad
which Is to 20 under or through Mt.
Washington, on the Southside, from this
city to Wheeling, neCessitating great
tunnel mile long at the outset, Is in
town looking after some rights OF way.
In conversation with Dispatch reporter
yesterday he said:
"The railroad is now an assured go
and Pittsburgh will soon have another
outlet to the West. The matter Is being
kept very quiet for the present, and tho
people in the scheme do not wish 10 say
much about II to any one.
I'VE have not much difficulty In Sc.
curing rights OF way. The road will be
mainly built by Cannonsburg capital,
and the people Of the town are takingan
interest in 1t. On account OF Little
Washington having such a boom at
present, with her oil wells and manu-
factories, there Is growing rivalry be-
tween that town and Cannonsburg. Tho
people living in and around the latter
place think that il they only had rail-
road which would be an outlet both
east and west they would be getting
some OF the business which Is now being
given TO Washington. On this account
tho farmers are giving us the right OF
way without having TO fight very hard
forit.
"The name Of the line will be the Pitts
burgh, Cannonsburg & Wheeling Rail-
road, and 1t will be competitor OF the
Baltimore & Ohio Road between Wheel.
ing and Pittsburgh. It will be an inde-
pendent road, and Is mainly being built
TO open up the oil territory in that part
Of Washington county.

other stockholders In the mill are put

at is really the Iron and Steel Com
pany that will build the road. For years
they have had a great amount OF trouble
getting their products to the markets.
They have had TO ship it via the Char
tiers branch road, and TO freight for the
West 1t would have TO be shipped in II
roundabout way. The company got
tired Of this, and their handicapped ia.
cilities injured their business. When
they build the new road, stuff can be
sent direct to Wheeling, aud will prob

Saturday afternoon Thomas Woods, who
lives on the Donnelly fork Of Mud river,
Lincoln county, sent word to his step
mother, Mrs, Woodson Woods, that one
Of her peighbors across the hill was
sick and wanted her to come imme.
dlately, He concealed himself behind
tree near the path to await her coming,
and when she approached, stepped out
and fred reyolveffull at her left breast,
the bullet taking effect just below the
nipple, She fell 10 the ground and to
make sure OF his work, he shot her again
tp the neck, and afterwards dragged her
to a clitf near by aud dropped her 10 the
ground below. Shortly afterwards she
recovered sufficiently to give an alarm,
which was heard by some men getting
out Cross.ties. They went to her assist-
ahCe, accompanied by Woods, who pro-
lassed entire ignorance OF the matter.
She was perfectly conscious, related tie
story OF the shooting and died shortly
afterwards. Woods Is now In custody.
The only known cause for the crime was
q disagreement between him and his

Efforts to Trace Their Identity Futils-No
One Left to Tell the Stories.
New YoRK, March 25,-All efforts to
trace the identity OF the vessels whose
wreckage was passed by the steamer
Colorado on Saturday morning last have
so far failed. The agents Of the steamer
Conservator, Of Madrid, which sailed
from here week ago for samana, deny
that the wreclSage Is that OF their vessel,
They say that 1t does not correspond in
any particular with that OF their vessel.
The agents Of the Clyde Line steamer
Saginaw also denied that the wreCkage
belonged to their vessel. A possible
clue to the shipwreck was furnished by
two incoming vessels this morning.
The Atlas line steamer at Athos from
Port Limo, which arrived early to-day,
reports having passed, on Saturday noon,
q white painted steamer disabled and
bound south, showing the German col.
ors. The brig G. d. Lockhart, which
also got In this morning from San Do.
mingo, brings more definite report OF
q ship in distress. The Lockharts cap.
tain said that on March 10, he spoke
the British steamer Yeomandell In
disabled condition. The Yeoman-
dell had a heavy list TO the starboard.
Her decks were on a line with the wa.
ter; her machinery was disabled and
her sails blown away. The disabled
vessel displayed a series Of signals indi.
eating distress and hoisted n request TO
have her condition telegraphed to the
English Lloyds. The Yeomandell left
New Orleans for Rouen France on March
U. On the maritime exchange to-day 1t
was thought probable that the latter
vessel had gone down and that the raft
and drift wood passed by the Colorado
on Saturday, were all that were left to
tell the story Of her destruction.

MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, March 25.-The
use OF frosted grain for seed in that dis.
triCt Of Dakota where the grain was con.
siderably damaged by frost last fall and
which includes nearly all the whole OF
the territory north OF the Northern
Pacific is causing good deal OF talk and
not little apprehension among grain
dealers. In the district spoken OF some
OF the farmers had all their wheat frost
ed, and they have nothing but frosted
grain on hand. They are not all able to
spend anything for good sound seed.
The crops OF some were entire failures,
and they are destitute, while still others
had field here and there OF good grain
and have saved wheat out Of It for seed.
On account OF the frost and the conse.
Quent poverty Of some OF the farmers

cost nearly twice that amount and the
further fact that experiments have proved
