While the principal cities Of this coun-

for street railway investors, yet in pro-
portion to their number and wealth the
people of the City of Mexico contribute
more, perhaps, to the support of their
horse cars thon those of any other city.
Nobody seems to walk there who can

are the motive power. and these thin

first class coaches are about as comfort
able as the Broadway cars of New York,
The second-class cars have small win

running lengthwise along either wall
and another without a back down the

The New York Sun publishes the fol-

A desert does not produce freight. The
talk about coal mines is mostly rot.
There are 100000 square miles of coal in
the Rocky Mountains and the land, coal
land, is comparatively worthless. The
best of these deposits in the North is
short distance south of the Northern
Pacific, the second best id in the North
Park in Colorado. Draw line from
Sioux City to Ogden. In the coun'
try tributary to that line there
are not to-day 100000 people; no,
not 100000. Agriculture wholly ceases
200 miles west of Sioux City. There the
land has an altitude of from 8 900 to 4, 900
feet-a frosty elevation in that northern
latitude that forbids profitable agricul-
ture. From the 200.mile line west of
Sioux City the land slopes steadily up
ward to the west till an altitude of from
6 900 to 1000 feet is arrived at on the
plains of Wyoming, and from there to
Ogden the land is broken, and really an
extinct and unproductive hell.
ga desert does not produce freight" !"
All the land west of the Hundredth
Meridian to the Sierras is "desert." Yet
it sustains 100000 people, 10000 miles
of railroad, one city of 10000, and
another of 100000 inhabitants. These
people have created thousand million
dollars worth of property at least, and
there is collected from them yearly by
the railroad serving them 800, 1000
in freights and fares, of which the Union
Pacific and the Central Pacific
collect third and have for fifteen
years. The country produces three mil
lion tons of coal per annum, and a
hundred millions in gold, silver, lead
and copper. The people are in better
condition than those of the country be-
tween the Hundredth MERIDIAN and the
Mississippi River. Their lands and
other property are not mortgaged for all
they are worth; they are scarcely mort
gagged at all. The SUM- S'authority and
the Sun itself chatter ON this subject.
There is Just as good reasons now to
build roads ahead of business as there
| has been ever since the war. Expert
ence has justified the policy, one can
hardly name road, long or short, west
of the Mississippi, built since the war,
which paid from the start. The rule
may be sought to be applied now,
but we believe the effort will be in
vain. There are TOO many interests
involved in the construction Of railroads,
and where the proper showing can be
made, the money can be commanded,
now, as well as ever, in spite of the panic
in the office OF the New York Sun, or in
any other newspaper Office. The news

has been rendered by Judge Foster. of the

brought by James Butcher, a prominent
attorney Of Umatilla, Ore, against W. p.
Z. Hedrick, sheriff Of johnson Coun-
ty. A prisoner held for horse steal
ing had escaped from Hedrick's
custody and after long search it
was determined by him that the man he
was searching for was in Oregon. The
matter was quietly worked up and cul-
minated in the arrest Of Butcher. who was
then q school teacher. He was brought to
johnson County. lodged in Jail and de.
prived of his liberty. The great mistake
Of the sheriff soon became evident and
Butcher was released, it having been q
case Of mistaken identity. Wishing
to avenge his wrongs, Butcher in.
stituted q suit for $l5, 900 for false i'm
prisonment The jury awarded him g, 200.
Judge Foster holds that this is an excess of
a just judgment and when a motion to set
aside the verdict was made he sustained it
and also q motion for a new trial condi.
tionally. The conditions are that unless
the plaintiff would remit all but 81. 500 Of
the Judgment a new trial would be
granted.

Money.
ALBUoUERouK, N. NJ, March 22.-In.
formation reached the city yesterday that
the incoming passenger tran was held up
the previous night at Canyon Diablo, be-
yond Winslow. Ariz, by four desperate
characters. The report was meagre, but
there was enough contained in the news to
give credence to the report.
Later it was learned that as the train
slowed at the bridge four men mounted
the platform of the first passenger coach
and commenced to terrorizs the passen.
gers After going through this coach they
went to the others, and reports state that
from the passengers they secured between
500 and $500.
In that vicinity the train has orders to
60 at q slow rate of speed and this enabled
the robbers to jump from the train with.
out injury to themselves. The robbery
was reported on the arrival Of the train
at Winslow and posse was sent afteS the
robbers.
When the robbers jumped from the
train they fired several shots at the
coaches, one Of which went through the
express car.
From E iward Knickerbocker, the Wells
Fargo express messenger between Albu.
querque and Los Angeles, it is learned
that four men boarded the engine al
Canyon Diablo station and leveled their
weapons at the engineer and fireman.
One Of the men stayed on the engine while
the others took the fireman of. They then
fred several times in the air.
Knickerbocksr had just made his ex.
change with the station agent, and on
hearing the shots closed the doors and put
out the lights. The fireman who was in
the clutches of the robbers then came to
the door Of the express car and knocked.
Knicksrbocker asked: "Who is there!"
and a response came from the fireman.
The agent then opened the door, when
in walked three masked men. One held o
revolver to his head and the others went
through the contents of the company's ex-
press, taking what local traffic in money
had been received by the agent from Los
Angeles to that point amounting to be-
tween 500 to $500.

Fellow.
MILWAUKEE. Wis, March 21.-Miss Pau
line Fuller, fifth daughter OF Chief Justice
Fuller, was married here Tuesday night
at the Kirby House by q justice of the
peace. The groom was ]. Matt Aubrey,
Jr., of Chicago and it was a runaway
match.
The clipping couple arrived on the $3.50
train and went at once to the Kirby
House. About nine o'clock Justice Greg
ory was sent for. The ceremony was
brief. The justice, prosaic old
gentleman, did not know that the
bride was the daughter of the
Chief Justice of the United
States and neither did any Of those
who were present aside from the contract
ing parties. When tho ceremony was
concluded the old justice called for wit
nesses and two young men were captured
in the billiard room and affixed their sig
natures to the necessary document
The bride is nineteen years Of age,
highly educated and remarkably hand
some. The groom is twenty three years
of age. He is the son of the general
Western agent of the Merchants Dispatch
fast freight line of Chicago. He is q
handsome young fellow.
The acquaintance of the bride and
groom began about three years ago.
Justice Fuller, who was then plain Law.
yer Fuller, lived with his eight daughters
on Lake avenue in Chicago, a short dis
lance from the home of young Aubrey.
An attachment sprung up between them.
When it became apparent it was opposed
by the Fullers. Miss Pauline declared
that she would marry whom she pleased
and her father recognized her right to do
so. Mrs. Fuller, however, continued to
oppose the match.
About this time Lawyer Fuller was
named as Chief Justice of the United
States. Mrs. Fuller packed up and car
ried Miss Pauline away to Washington
with the other Misses Fuller. About the
first of last January Mss Pauline went
to Chicago and remained in that city un-
til the elopement took place.
