RAILROAD INTERESTS.
THE AMERrcAN-GUATEMALAN RAILROAD.

THE ERICAN-GUATEMALAN RAILROAD.
PLACING THE LOAN IN FRANCE, BUT THE ROAD
TO BE BUILT by AN AMERICAN COMPANY.
The dispatch published yesterday relative 10 loan
contracted by Guatemala and railroad to be built In
that country IS incomplete In the first place 1t must
be stated that the matter directly interests this country
since IL Is an American citizen, Mr. Huntington. who
will have TO build the railroad of Guatemala
contract to that effect, approved by the Guaenalan
Government had been signed, condtlonaly, by Mr.
Huntington and Mr. Cotter the representative Of the
French financial companies. cOncessonnalres OK the
loan In the second place the Panama dispatch does
not state that the loan convention has been rati
fed by the Chamber Guatemala But this Is likely
for the National legislative Assembly was to meet In
at extraordinary session September ~ ana II the
discussion has dragged along Its result c0ud nave
been known at Panama October IS, the date OF the
dispatch. Anyhow. General Barllas President oil
Guatemala had issued September the decree con-
vokng the Legislature extraordinarily for the special
object Of discussing the loan and railroad convention
which had been signed between the Government ana
Mr. Cotter and the clauses OF which were published
three weeks ago in the Guatemala correspondence OF
LAS Novedades." of this city.
The railroad to be built by American enterprise VIII
have a length OF 800 kilometres. nearly 200 miles
Starting from santo Tomas. on the Atlantic IL VIII
connect with tho small Southern Railroad already
built from the Interior to the port Of san Jose on the
Pacific so that complete connection by rail- through
Guatemala shall be established between the two oceans
The loan Of S21 900 600 will be employed in Duylhg
the short line Of san Jose. in order to have but one
company, paying for the construction OF the
new railroad from Santo Tomas. and the balance
shall be applied to other expenses toward the deyeop
mcnt OF the natural resources of the country. ,
The whole business Will be profitable. undoubtedly
both 10 Guatemala and its FfancOAmercan CON
tractors. 1t Is surprising. however. that the Guatemala
Government while giving to Americans the contract
for building its railroad, has not attempted TO place
its loan In this country. Its agents here would nave
been able to secure the advantageous conditions
which obtained I'm Europe. Al any rate, such AN
attempt would have proved to be urtherance OF the
policy which led Guatemala to be among the INST in
sending It's representatives TO the Thee Americas

KILLED HIS NIECE.
Developments in the Case of An
ME LecOney in Pennsylvania.
The Murder was Committed to Secure
the Girls Share of an Estate
About to be Divided.
How Farm LsbOrer was Winsd and Dined
by Shrewd Deteteetive and Made to
Tell What He Knew of the Affair.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept. l5.-Start-
ling developments were made yesterday
in the case of the murder OF Annie Lee
coneY in her uncle's dining room at
Mechanicsvllle last week. Ta Clerk Ed
ward Burroughs is due the credit of first
discovering the clew which the detectives
have followed until it led them TO the
arrest of ChauIkley Leconey, with
whom the murdered girl lived
as housekeeper. Garrett w Murray, II
nineteen-year-old laborer, who was in
the field with Chaulkley LecOney, was
arrested Friday night. 1t was charged
that Murray received part OF the money
taken from the dead girl 8 chest by the
uncle to conceal the bloody clothing
which had been found. Burroughs
was foreman or the coroner s jury and
irritated ChauIkley Leconey by insisting
on learning
THE MONEY RELATIONS
existing between the dead uncle Richard
Leconey and annie LecOney. His qUes-
lions revealed the fact that some thou
sands of dollars were due from
the estate to the murdered girl
for wages as housekeeper. Chaulkley
LecOney grew pale as Edward Burroughs
pressed his questions and stepping out
from the room he called Burroughs TO
him and III evident anger said What do
you mean by those insulting QuestiOnsG
Burroughs looked him in the face and
said sOlemnly g Chaulkley, you are sus-
pected OF numbering your niece.
ChaulkIey left Burroughs and dropped
the question 1t was Prosecutor Jenkins
idea not to state publicly any suspicion
of ChaulkIey LecOney' s guilt, but all the
time he was to be kept under strict sur
veillance. ChaulkleY wanted to accom-
pany the body of his murdered niece to
her father s home near ChlHcOthe, Ohio,
and for that reason his arrest was yester-
day ordered. Murray has
MADE MANY IMPORTANT STATEMENTS.
Yesterday Mr. jenkins turned Murray
over to Detective Warner, who took HIM
to John Cherry's near by for dinner.
Mr. Cherry had already started the the
ory that the poor girl was killed because
she claimed q large sum as wages.
Warner fed Murray lavishly and secured
an admission from him that
the clothing which was stained with
blood was hidden by him ut the request
of LecOney. When Warner was done
with the negro the latter was sent
60 an obscure cell The theory Of
the state is that Chaulkley LecOney killed
his niece to save the money to
himself and other heirs of Richard Le-
coney, whose estate was about to be set
tied 1t is believed the dead girl 5
clothes were afterward arranged so as 10
give the impression that some of the
negro hands had murdered the girl in an
attempt on her honor.

Patrick Delaney asks the Reward for his
Evidence Before the Parneu
Commission.


DUBLIN, Sept. 15.-The Freeman s
Journal publishes a letter from Patrick
Delaney now serving a term of life i'm
prisonment in the marlborough prison,
addressed to a prominent official of
Dublin Castle. Delaney was sentenced
to death for completely in the Phoenix
Park murders, but Earl Spencer
when lord lieutenant of Ire
land committed his sentence to
imprisonment for life. He was brought
before the Parnen commission to give
testimony for the Times, and in the let
ter he piteously implores the official ad
dressed to obtain his release from impris-
onment as a reward for his evidence, in
timating that promises as a. recognition
for his services tantamOunt to immunity
from further penal servitude were made
as an inducement for him to testify.
Michael DaVitL writes to the Freeman 3
Journal severely condemning the atti-
tude Of the speakers at the recent fort
nightly meeting of the National league
on Mr.. Balfour' s prison university
scheme. MIR. Davitt accuses these men
of begging the whole question in true
grandmotherly style instead of opposing
the scheme as they should or honestly
admitting their preference for it if they
are content with chaff instead of sub
stance.
