Two cOnvIcts Pardoned, One Having .
Remarkable Record.
FsFBcIAL TELEeRAM TO THE DIsPATcR.i
COLUMBUS, November 27. = Governor
Foraker tonight issued Thanksgiving par
dons from the Ohio penitentiary, releasing
William Carroll. who has served % years,
and Anthony Baccioco, of Cincinnati,
who was convicted Immediately after the
Berner riots. Carroll is one Of the
most noted prisoners in the penitentiary,
and an earnest effort has been made to Sc
cure his pardon. He is mechanical genius,
and during his imprisonment has in
vented quite q number of pieces, which,
it is believed, If handled properly,
would be valuable property. Carroll
was one of four persons who made an effort
to rob the Brown County Treasury in 1856,
when the guard, named Rose, who was on
watch at the time, was shot and killed.
Carroll escaped after being arrested and
was captured q year afterward and con-
victed and sentenced to imprisonment for
life. Another member of the party named
Huling was convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to
hang but commuted, and after
serving eight years, was pardoned
by Governor Young. The other two men,
bers of the party received small sentences.
Baccioco was policeman in Cincinnati in
1884, and shot a saloon keeper named Adam
Dollar He was convicted and sentenced
for life,

PROSPERITY In MEXICO.
General Business Booming and on n Solid
Foundation.

OeneFal business booming ana on q solid
Foundation.
CITY OF MEXICO, November 27.-The
organization of the great Trust and Loan
Company in London for operation here is
regarded with much favor, especially
as the new company is under the auspices
of the River Plate Loan and Trust
Company of London, which has been highly
successful. The Bank of London and
Mexico here has been made financial agent
of the new company. There is ample room
for soundly dly-managed companies of this
nature here, where the rate of interest still
continues high, especially in the interior,
and in the promotion of new enterprises.
Branches in the interior cities of large
banks of this city are nearly all doing ex-
cellent business, and bank dividends will be
high. The business boom here is growing.
Importations are running away up beyond
former figures, with consequent increase
in treasury receipts, but with all this
activity there is no feverish speculation.
The business is solid, and based on
metallic currency. The crops are good.
and the appearance of wheat from the State
of Sonora at this capital is regarded as a
sign that the country can easily supply it.
self with frst-class wheat, as we'll as enter
extensively into its expectation. Only few
years ago Sonora was the fighting ground
for the Apaches and the troops; to-day it is
one of the most peaceful, prosperous and
progressive States in the republic.

RAILROADS BUILT TO SELL.

The Difference In Cost Of Good and Poor
Tracks.
St. Louis G1obe-DemOerst.l
A railroad is q railroad, isn't it? The
public thinks 50. But under the surfaec,
railroads are sometimes built to sell. For
instance. there is piece of road recently
saw that is laid of rails 30 pounds to. the
yard 105 600 pounds of iron to the mile Of
trade. Now, a local street car company
will put 7S-pound steel rail down-274, $50
pounds to the mile, or 1S7 tons and 566
pounds. A great many trunk lines are
laying 06-pound steel rails-337, ,920 pounds.
or 1853 tons and ], ,92O pounds 10 the mile. At
$50 ton to iron the first would cost 81 $50
q mile, the last s., 1910. So it will be seen
how railroads are built to sell. But this is
not all the saving.
Sometimes it Is cheaper to build two
miles of track around hill than half
mile straight through; and the miles
count in selling, especially Western roads.
Then, have seen rails spiked at quarters
and centers, or, at most, half the ties
skipped. There is also difference between
8-inch clear white oak ties without sap, 16
inches between centers, and "culled" or
soit-wood ties 2 feet apart. In short, it
takes man long time to learn the differ
ence that can be made in the expense OF
constructing railroad.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.l
SAN FRANCISCO, November H.-The direc-
tors of the California Athletic Club matched
Jack Dempsey and Billy Mccarthy last night
for finish hight to take place in January
for a purse of $500, the winner to take
s., 500 and lose $3U0 Both men are to fight at
l54 pounds. The winner of the contest will be
matched with young Mitchell for the March
contest Some were of the opinion
that Dempsey would have a walkover,
while others we're not so certain of it.
Attention was called to the fact that at 5
o'clock on the evening of his fight with Kelle-
her, Mccarthy weighed 159 pounds; it was
thought that he could not come down to weight
He offered $500 to Kelleher in case he agreed
to go on with the fight and should lose.
KeIleher refused the proposition and
Jimmy Carroll was sent over to McCar-
thy, and after working hard with him
succeeded in bringing him down to
weight by hard sweating. This, and the
fact that he did not have bite to eat left him
weak. Notwithstanding this he won easily.
1t is acknowledged that he is shifty and strong
and clever fighter, and splendid contest is
looked for.

know lady who has pretty little home.
Her means are not quite up to her ambition,
so she has to make the most Of the pretty
little things which women like. She had
baby that died, and like most mothers she
saved its clothing and all its trinkets- She
put away its little shoes and one day it oc-
CURED to her to bronze them. In one she
inserted some tinfoil and this gave the shoe
the proper heft for paperweighE on her
desk.
.'In the other she inserted little brass
bucket for a matchsaie, and put it on her
husbands writing-desk. Every crease
which baby's foot made is there. The idea
is a pretty one The idea is not confined to
baby's shoes but extends to mems and

THE SOUTHERN WHITE HOUSE.
The Proposition to Dismantle it Bitterly
Opposed.

The Proposition to Dismantle it Bitterly
Opposed.
RICHMOND, VA, November 27.-The
last night to dismantle the JEFF Davis
mansion has caused something of a
sensation here. On every side oppo-
sition is manifested to removing this last
remaining conspicuous landmark of the
Southern Confederacy. Davis, whose occu-
pancy of this quaint old structure
during the four years of civil war
has made it historical, is drawing
to the close of his life. The people of
Richmond seem to be practically unani-
nous in the opinion that the White
House of the Confederacy should be
left standing as a monument of the
most eventfu1 period in the history of this
country. The general sentiment seems to
be that if the city needs another school
building it should be erected on some less
historical spot than that upon which stands
the old DAVIS house..
The negro hackmen are unit in oppos-
ing what they look upon, not only as a
movement of desecration, but as likely to
deprive them of many a dollar. "Why,
boss, said one of the oldest negro hack
men here to-day, "de niger kerridge drivers
couldn't stand It'll What we drivers
gwine to tell de Northern visitors
when dey come down heah? No Libby
Prison and no JEFF Davis mansion? Oh,
no, boss: dat nebber do. We can't stand it.
Why, de Davis house has put hundreds of
dollars in our pockets"
1t is believed that the opposition will be
so great that the school board will abandon
the whole project at once.

A Tragedy Results From PurtIug n Clothes

One night when three or four of us boys
boarded q sleeper on the L. and N. Road
going south from Cincinnati passenger in
lower seven began to snore as soon as we
were in bed. He had terrible snore for a
human being, and after several of us had
called to him and failed to stop it one of our
crowd slid out of bed, reached into num-
Der seven, and, with great deftness affixed a
spring clothespin to the sleeper's nose. It
was, of course, expected that he would wake
up in few seconds, but, to our surprise, he
did not, while at the same time he suddenly
ceased to snore.
By and by all Of Us dropped of to sleep
and everyone in the car was up before num-
Der seven. In fact, he slept so late that the
porter parted the curtains to arouse him.
After one look he jumped back with yell,
and when we hurried up we found the man
cold and dead. He was lying on his back,
hands locked under his neck. and that
clothespin had pinched his nose all out OF
shape. The body was take to Cincinnati,
and most OF us had to attend the inquest.
1t was there testified to by the doctors that
the man had died Of heart disease, but tell

The story that John Wanamaker has
seized on a room at the top Of the Depart
ment Building in Washington, to which he
can withdraw during business hours and be
safe from interruption, is another illustra-
tion of the fact that business men have to
resort to all kinds of devices to secure time
and opportunity for prosecuting their bus
iness affairs. A Wall street operator who
hires large room in an Office building
downtown secures himself from Interrupt
Iion at the hands of people whom he doesn't
want to meet by locking his door and pass
ing in review everybody who applies for ad-
mission through an ingenious arrangement
of mirror.
The mirror is placed on the wall opposite
to the door and on level with the transom.
1t is inclined, somewhat toward the floor,
SO that nobody can knock at the door with
out having his image reflected. The opera
tor of the room looks up through the tran
som to the surface of the mirror, and if the
party is somebody whom he wants to see he
opens the door, and if otherwise the door re-
mains obstinately closed.

Is THE MILLENNIUM OOMING2
The City Council of Elizabeth to Give Up
Their Salaries.


ELIZABETH, N. j.. November H.-The
City Council at its meeting next Wednes-
day night are going to vote to do
away with salaries for the members.
Each Councilman now is entitled to $500
per year, and as the board after the next
charter election will consist of "a members,
the repeal of the salary law will secure a
saving of 81, 900 year to the taxpayers.
President Smith, whose arbitrary rulings
at the last meeting will result in his being
deposed from the Presidency, hopes to save
himself by voting to abolish salaries. Mr..
Smith was one of the strongest advocates of
drawing salary for his services, although
majority of the board was opposed to pay
ing any.
President Smith has even sued the city
for his salary and obtained a judgment
against the municipality, with costs. He is
likewise willing to humbly apologize to the
board for his previous acts, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful If even this will save him
from the wrath of his indignant colleagues.
