RAILROAD CIRCLES,
Attempt TO Bring About Consolidation
of Western Railroad Interests.

Attempt TO Bring About a Consolidation
of Western Railroad Interests.
CHICAGO, September 29.h.-C Commenting
on the recent move of the Santa Fe Rail-
road IN securing eeat.el of the Colorado
Midland, the Tribune this morning points
out the fact that the Santa Fe already has
an independent line to the Pacific coast,
which is sufi cient for all purposes, and
which would be injured by projecting an
other line. The article proceeds:
The new move made by the Santa Fe
must therefore have entirely different OBJ
jec!s in view than those heretofore adj
vanced. Il will be found after the smoke
has cleared away that the real purchaser of
the Colorado Midland is not the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe buta so-called bank
ers triangle Of New York-Kidder, Pea
body, Barring Bros. IL Drexel, and Morgan
q Co.--tbe two Eirst-named firms being the
present owners of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe. George c. Magoun is the
leading financial manager of the firm of
Kicder, Peabody & Co., and Msgoun is also
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
AtehisoD, Topeka and Santa Fe, and directs
its affairs. The real purpose of the Colo
rado Midland deal will be found to be
nothing more nor less than another at
tempt on the part of the bankers triangle
to bring about grand consolidation OF all
the Western railroad interests, or, in other
words the formation of gigantic railway
trust comprising all the roads between
Chicago and the Pacific coast, and it is more
than probable that Jay Gould is a silent
partner in the scheme"

Devilish Ingenuity of Youths Caught at
Napa.

Napa.
NAPA, September 29th.-James Flamant.
son of the well-known olive grower, only
90 years old, was arrested to night on three
separate charges of arson ard placed in the
County Jail. The officers are now looking
for Lee Horrell aged II, for two charges of
arson. Last Friday detective John Curtin
of San Francisco, accompanied by Special
Agent w. F. Sewell of the Home Mutual
Insurance Company, arrived at Napa and
began looking into the origin of the numer-
Gus fires which the town has been subject
to during the last two years.
Flamont and Horrell were the ringlead-
ers of party of boys, and in each case per-
formed ell the work of setting fire to build
ings. The others were simply onlookers.
The plan of operations of the boys was to
saturate straw or rags with kerosene; then
on top of the pile to place lighted candle
one inch long. They would then go home
and to bed.
Flamant is charged with setting fire to
Fl. J. Bsddley's residence, temporarily un-
occupied, two years ago; to the public
school-house last July, and to q cottage
owned by August Muller on August 10Th.
In only the first named case was the at
tempt successful. Seven or eight other at
tempts are also credited to him, but no
positive evidence is procurable.
The Horrell boy is charged with aiding
in the two last-named fires.
setting fire to Baddley's house and the
Muller house, but denied having had any
thing to do with the school house fire.

Of all this fraud and deception could be but
one thing, and that was at the Blenheim
swamp.
The Judge in his charge to the jury re-
viewed the many points in the case, and at
length ne pointed out the difference be-
tween direct and circumstandal evidence,
showing that the latter when conclusive
was far more reliable. He reverted to the
letters written by the prisoner to Benwell
father What was the object of these let
ters? All was deception. and the prisoner
must have known that Benwell would
never write such letters TO his father.
The condition of the clothing on the body
when found disproved the theory. OF the
defense that the murder was for plunder.
Every mark on the clothing was removed,
and had it not been for the finding of q
cigaF-holdsr, Benwells death would always
have remained mystery.
The jury retired at $50 this evening, and
returned with verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree.

Rough Experiences of the Four Escape
Folsom Conyicts,

Rough Experiences of the -Four Escaped
Folsom Convicts.
At the last meeting of the Prison Direct
ors at Folsom one Of the four conVicts who
recently escaped from the penitentiary,
but were recaptured at Ogden, told the fol.
lowing story of the experiences of himself
and comrades after leaving the prison, as
published in the Telegraph,
He said the plan was made about year
ago, and it was their intention TO get away
to Europe. They commenced drilling
through the floor on the 18th of December,
and they did not get through the same
until March 18th OF this year. They hid
in the bushes the first day, and in the
night walked to Newcastle. They ate raw
potatoes and sweet corn on the second day.
One of them found pair of overalls and
put them on. The others wore pants made
Of their blankets.
They had FIVE dollars in the party, and
with 1t they bought overalls. They walked
to Ogden, after having stolen ride of 400
miles on the railroad. They ate fruit and
vegetables at meal times. They found
work at Ogden for two days. Their story
of what they went through reads like q
fairy tale, and is no doubt greatly exag-
gerated BY them. They suffered greatly
for food while away.

a STRANGE STORY.
A Man Who Claims to Have Found a
Buried Fortune.

From Napa Regitser, September 29d,l
Some weeks ago a man named James
McAnally was confined in the County Jail
for petty offense, and was afterwards in
the County Infirmary. McAnally was gen.
orally credited as being little ''off, y as ne
carried wide-mouthed vial containing
concoction of mercury and other ingredi-
ents, with which he claimed he could find
buried money. He further said that he
was searching for pot of money which a
friend of his had buried. Soon after thus
planting his treasure the friend had lost his
memory and could not tell exactly where
the gold was buried, though by his actions
he gave a clue TO the vicinity. The owner
of the buried coin has since died.
When discharged McAnally set out to look
for the money, and Tuesday Jailer Wall
Kennedy received letter from him dated
and postmarked at Sacramento, stating that
he had found the money, amounting to
81, 100, and expected soon to go East. He
also wrote Wall that if there was anything
he (WslD wanted to write him and he
would get it and send it to him.
Wall has already answered the letter and
asked McAnally to lend him $40, thinking
that be would thus find out if the money
had really been found.
This is not one of William Wallace's
famous yarns, as he exhibits the letter and
envelope, the latter being postmarked at
Sacramento on September 23i.

BURoHELL CONVICTED.
The Jury Says 1t Was Murder in the
Firet Degree.


WooDsTocK (Canada), September 29th.-
This was the last day of the famous Bur-
chell murder trial. The arguments of
counsel consumed the entire day.
Blackstock, for the defense, spoke five
hours. He reflected on the alleged reckless
method of the prosecution, and apparently
careless manner in which witnesses for the
crown seemed ready to swear away a mans
life. His summing up of the evidence
bearing on Burchell's identity was strong,
Discussing the moral character of his
client, he said he must admit his utter in
ability to point an explanation of the
course observed by Burchell, which would
be consistent with his innocence of dishon-
est purposes. The only explanation of
Burchell's statements to Pelley and Ben
well, inducing them to come cut there,
which Backstock could offer vas that
Burchell expected to secure through them
money to enable him to go into business
and make good his promises. He de-
pounced the manner of conducting the
identification of the prisoner as disgrsceful.
The time would come when the mystery
surrounding the crime would be cleared
away. He closed with touching refer
ence to the devotion of Mrs. Burchell.
Osler closed the case for the Crown. He
reviewed the story in detail and analyzed
Burchell's negotiations with Benwell into
one fact-a plan to entrap young Benweil
into Canada on representations that he
knew would be shown to be false the mo-
ment he arrived in Canada. The motive
was to secure $500. he detailed Burchelps
dealings with Pelley, and said the outcome

Extra Liability to Ma.arial Infection.

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra liable TO
the attacks of malarial disease. The most
trifing exposure may, under such condi-
tions, infect system which, if healthy,
would resist the miasmatic tsint. The only
way to secure immunity from malaria in
localities where it is prevalent, is TO tone
and regulate the system by improving
weakened digestion, enriching the blood,
and giving a wholesome impetus to hillary
secretion. These results are accomplished
by nothing so effectively as Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. which long experience
has proved to be the most reliable safe
guard against fever and sgue and kindred
disorders as well as the best remedy for
them. The Bitters are, moreover, an ex-
cellent invigorant of the organs of urina-
ton, and an active depurent. eliminating
from the blood those acid impurities which
originate rheumatic ailments.

TRUCKEE ICE.
The Remnant of Last Winters Crop
Likely to Go East.
[Truckee Reaublican, septemher 2sth.l


[Truckee Republican, September 2sth.l
The season for ice shipment is drawing
to close and the ice magnates are able 10
figure out the sesson's business. At the
opening of spring the ice.houses along the
river contained about 10000 tons Of ice.
There is now on hsud about 13 900 tons, of
which about 5000 tons will be required to
supply the coast demand for the remainder
of the season. There is demand for ice
in the East, and it is expected that several
thousand tons will be shipped in that di-
rection within the next few weeks.
The ice crop East was very short last
winter, hence this unusual call for Sierra
Nevada ice. The consequence is that in
all probability there will not be more than
a thousand tons on hand when the new
crop commences to be harvested The
sales Of natural ice this year exc ed by TO-
900 tons the sales of any former year.
Notwithstanding the increased output and
rivalry of the ice machines, the demand
for the natural product keeps increasing
every year.

It is asserted by men of high professional
ability that when the system needs slim
ulant nothing equals cup of fresh coffee.
Those who desire to rescue the dipsoma-
MAC from his cups will find no better sub
stitute for spirits than strong, newly-made
coffee, without milk or sugar. Two ounces
of coffee, or one-eighth of pound, to one
pint of boiling water, makes frst-class
beverage, but the water must be boiling,
not merely hot. 1t is asserted that mala-
ria and epidemics are avoided by those
who drink cup of hot coffee before yen-
turing into the morning air. Burned on
hot Goals coffee is a disinfectant for sick
room, and by some of the best physicians
it is considered specific in typhoid fever.
