ANOTHER CLAIMANT.
a st. Louis Fortune Teller Wants
the Morrison Estate.

the Morrison Estate.
Special to the Clone.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29.-Mrs. Margaret
K. Potter, of st. Louis, thinks she is en-
titled to portion, if not all, of the
property left by the late Mrs. Marion
A. V. Morrison, of st. Paul. 1t will be
remembered that Mrs. Morrison, by her
will, gave her estate, valued at nearly
$4,000, to one Preston K. Potter. An
attempt to find the heir showed that
something like twenty years ago she
went to the Pacific coast and there
dropped out of the knowledge of man.
kind. Now comes Mrs. Potter with her
claim. She was found by reporter to-
day and explained the ground of her
claim. Her husband, she said.
was Macmillan Potter. he died
two weeks ago. He was half brother
OF Preston Potter, to whom Mrs. Nor
rison willed her property. They have a
boy SIX years old, and this child, she
claims, inherits the Morrison estate as
the heir at law of his father. Mrs. Pot
ter evidently thinks she will get at least
a portion of the estate. She says if she
can raise mon ey enough she will go to
st. Paul. She lives in the third story of

The Aandsomest Train in the World.

An exchange says the recent addi-
tion to the Santa Fe route train eauip-
ment has resulted in giving Colorado the
/, finest train which has ever been operated
by any compan $. being a solid vestibule
tain composed of baggage and express
? cars. second-class smoking room coach,
free library reclining chair car, two
Pullman palace sleeping cars and a dining
car, serving all meals in and out of Dem
yer. This train has been termed by the
Eastern press and travelling public as the
handsomest train in the world, which is
rightfully bestowed, as no finer train has
ever been built By the Pullman company.
The exterior of the train is wine color.
which has recently been adopted by the
Santa F'e as its standard, while the in
terror is finished in antique oak with the
finest of old gold tapestry and trimmings
and plate glass mirrors. The library chair
car has a gentlemen's smoking apartment
in the rear, and the car is fitted up with
toilet rooms at either end for ladies and
gentlemen. Instead of the double row of
chairs on each side, as of the conventional
chair car, these ears contain but three
rows, double and single, thus afford
ing much more roomy and comfortable
seat. The dining car is n model of elegance
being finished in antique oak with silver
and blue plush trimmings. This car CON
tains private apartments for special par
ties. Dinner is served out of Denver on
this train from five until eight, The table
contains the best the market affords, and
the excellence Of cuisine and perfection of
service vies the leading hotels. a polite
colored attendant is in charge Of each car,
and nothing is left undone to make the
journey of its patrons both pleasant and
agreeable.
The Santa Fe Is an enterpiising Western
road and is always foremost in the ad-
vancement of improvements for the pleas
ure and convenience of the public
This model train leaves the Union depot
Denver, every afternoon at 200, Colorado
Springs, z: 80 and Pueblo 9:lO, reaching
Kansas City the following afternoon and
Chicago early the second morning.

The Yankee Skipper.

NORTH SYDNEY, b. c., Oct. 1s.-
The Yankee fishing schooner and her
brave crew who rescued from destruction
a British torpedo boat abandoned by H
NJ. ). Pelican frigate in the Gulf Of ST.
Lawrence during 'the terrible storm Of
October 18th, are the heroes of the hour.
The admiration Of loyal Britons is, how
ever, tInged somewhat with sense of
humiliation. When the news reached
Halifax that the Samuel H. Crane of
Gloucester had picked up the torpedo boat
there was CONSERVATION in Halifax, as it
was regarded us quite probable that the
British frigate had gone down, and Ad-
miral Watson at once despatched II. NJ. S
Buzzard to the Cape Breton coast in the
hope of rescuing possible survivors. But
the Pelican arrived in safety few hours
later, and her officers equally with Admiral
Watson were astonished TO find that their
lost torpedo boat had reached shore ahead
of them. His Excellency Governor Gen
eral Stanley is now in Halifax to pay his
respects To the Yankee schooner and her
brave crew, and 1t is expected that he will
be empowered to make them some sub
stantial recognition.

Marriage of Deaf Mutes.

The marriage of Mr.. Edwin II.
Hatcher, OF Neodesha, Kansas, and Miss
Lizzie Broughan, of White Church. Kan
sas, Monday night, was an event of more
than usual interest from the fact that both
were deaf mutes. The Rev j.. NJ. Dun.
mig, of White Church, read the marriage
service aloud to George E. Root, of this
city, and he translated it in the sign Ian
guage to the bride and groom About
thirty deaf mutes were present and oc
cupied front seats of the church. 81
mir. Hatcher is an inventive genius who
has made himself famous for his bicycle
inventions. The Pope Manufacturing
Company, makers of the Columbia bicycle
offered him s. 600 for his patent. He will
begin the manufacture OF them himself In
Boston. The presents bestowed npon Mr.

Germans Do Not Favor Slavery.

Some time ago it was reported that
German authorities on the east coast of
Africa had issued orders permitting the
slave trade TO continue. 1t was denied
and the following explanation now appears !:
The Arabs had sent a petition TO the Ger
mans asking that facilities be given for
the sale Of slaves on the ground that other
wise they would be unable 70 cultivate
their devastated lands. In some way a
copy OF the petition became posted as a
proclamation, and upon this were based
the false accusations made against the
Germans. The Br1qsl. consul at Zanzibar,
though knowing the persons responsible
for the charges, declined to disclose their
names.

Examina,io ms in the Army.

The matter of most interest to .he
army now awaiting the action OF Secretary
Proctor is the PRONUNCIATION OF regulations
TO carry into effect the recent act OF Con-
gress providing for the examination of Of
ficers before promotion, and for lineal in
stead of regimental promotion. He has
already taken the subject under advise
ment. The scope of the examination to
De prescribed and the time and place for
holding the examination are the most i'm.
portant questions to be decided. II is
tn ought not unlikely tha,'ne will appo!n,
board of officers, high in rank, to fix

A number Of propositions have been
submitted as to the time and place of hold.
ing the examinations. The one that meets
with most general favor contemplates the
convening of three permanent boards-one
each in Washington, Chicago and San
Francisco-to meet once or perhaps twice
year for the examination OF such num-
ber of officers of each grade as are likely
to receive promotion within year, the
average of previous years being. taken as
a guide in determining upon the number
By this method the department will be
able to weed out the disabled officers much
faster than if examinations be held only
as vacancies occur. The provisions in
the bill requiring that officers who served
as volunteers shall be examined by boards
composed of their own class is causing
some embarrassment. The engineer corps
for instance, has only three of four officer.
of this class, mot sufficient to form board
of examination 1t therefore becomes
necessary to violate the law either by not
examining them at all or requiring them
to be examined by board of West Point

THE PIXIES PEAK ROAD.
Completion of the Cog Railroad to the
Top of Pixies Peak

Completion OF the Cog haiiroao TO the
Top of Pixies Peak.
The last spike was driven on the
aoth and now the Peak may be assembled
with ease.
The road has no counterpart en- the
American continent aud, considering its
length and elevation, is the most important
on the globe. 1t is built after the Abt
system, Is standard gauge, with double
rack rails in the center, on which operate
six heavy cog wheels under the locomotive.
The track is nearly nine miles long, the
ascent being nearly sos feet on au aver
age grade OF about l6 per cent, the steep
est being % per cent on II rise OF one foot
in four.
The curves are not any more numerous
than on any mountain roads, and the
sharpest curvatures are but ID per cent
The grade is very wide and the most sub
stantial possible, all the bridges being of
iron and masonry. The rails and ties are
very heavy, the latter bein0 of red spruce,
nine feet long, and the track is securely
anchored in the steep places every 200
feet
The rolling stock consists of three loco
motives, which are most nondescript spec
--imens of their breed and weigh twenty-five
tons each. Six passenger coaches, con-
structed largely OF glass, with seating
capacity Of sixty persons each, and two
fiat cars make up the rolling stock.
In August passenger business was in
augurated 10 the half way house and
clearly demonstrated the practicability
and popularity of the road: but il was dis
continued in about two weeks owing TO its
Interference with the work of construc-
tion. The season being SO far advanced,
aud owing TO the snow and severe cold on
the summit, there will be no formal open
ing until next spring. The trip up will be
made in about two hours, the return being
accomplished somewhat quicker. The
locomotives are expected to push two
loaded coaches, giving each train a capac-
ity for carrying fifty passengers and to
make two trips day.
+ A force OF men will be retained for some
time yet to perfect the solidity of the
track. William Hildebrsnd, the American
agent for the system. ana who figured
conspicuously in the engineering of the
Brooklyn bridge, had personal supervision
of the track laying and is still in charge
( of the force Great things are expected
OF the Pixies Peak railroad in the future
as it will call the attention of the world
to Colorado and TO Manitou. The man
agement of the road is vested in H. S,
Z Cable, son of r. X. Gable, president of the
! Rock Island, young man of experience
and acknowledged railroad sagacity.
