Death Invades the Family of Secretary
Blaine for the Fourth Time Within
Few wceks-His Daughter, Mrs. Cop
pinger, Passes Away.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Alice
Blaine-Coppinger, eldest daughter of
the Secretary of State, died of conges-
tion of the brain at about half-past
Sunday morning at her fathers resi-
dence.
Mrs. Coppinger had suffered from an at
tack of influenza on Governors Island and
her health, always delicate, had not
been fully regained when she was called
to Washington by the dea;h of her
brother Walker She did not rally from
this shock, and when delirium set in
last Thursday her family and friends
feared for the worst. When the news
of her death was known President
Harrison, the members of the' Cabinet
and many others in Office and in private
life called to tender their sympathy. 1t
seemed as though the heart of Washing
ton went out to the Secretary and Mrs.
Blaine in their great affiiction.
Mrs. Coppinger's death was the fourth
in the family within few weeks. First,
Mrs. Blaine's sister died at Augusta;
then half-brothcr of Secretary Blaine
in Oregon; then the son, these three
following each other with startling
rapidity.
MRS. Coppinger was universally known in
Washington society Alice Blaine. She was
a great favorite though she was not devoted to
society. Her fathers position, however OF
necessity compelled her to be prominent in
many ways. She was about 30 years old and
born in Augusta, Me. 1t was here that She met
Colonel j. c. Coppinger, of the Eighteenth
Infantry Their marriage was cee
brated seven years ago, and Mrs. Cop.
pinger had passed most Of the interven
ing time with her husband on the frontier.
For two or three years they were at Fort
Leavenworth. Last year Colonel Coppinger
was assigned to duty in New York, and since
then Mrs. Coppinger had been an occasional
visitor in Washington. She leaves two chill
drcn- Blaine Coppinger 6years'old, and Conor.

matter of great importance 10 the people
of the entire west and southwestern
counties was revealed to the public to.
day, which created something of a
furry among railroad men here.
While it has been known for
sometime by those on the inside
that parties had been quietly working on
scheme to divert the commerce of the
West from the Atlantic sea board to the
Gulf of Mexico. II was not seriously
considered in railroad circles until to-
day, when the fact was developed that
the Arkansas Pass harbor company had
succeeded in perfecting financial and all
other arrangements tor deepening the
water over the bar at Arkansas Pas.
The late congress passed bill granting
to this company the exclusive fright to
obtain deep water at that pointE surrend-
lug to il aii the work previously done by
tile govsrnment. but requires the COM
pany ID furnish a suticisHt depth of
water toadmit the largest Ecean vessels,
within specified time.
While tbs appears likga small matter

1t was learned from one of the promi-
nent stockholders that the company had
already purchased He steel and other
material for a double track terminal
road to be built FROM the new city OF
Arahsas Harbor across the bay and
islands to the pass, where two jet
ties will be erected to con-
fine the channel over the bar,
one jetty TO be extended from St.
Joseph's island, the other from Mata-
gCrda island.
Work will begin on the terminal rail-
road at once, and it is learned that suf-
tcient water will be obtained for the
largest ships to enter the harbor in one
year.
1t was further learned that two of the
largest trunk line roads in the West
would be extended to q connection with
the terminal road at the new city by the
time deep water was obtained over the
bar.
The probable cost of getting deep
water, building the terminal road
docks, etc. will be between 81 900. 900
and 81 200, 900, the amount necessary
having been secured.
