The Contract Said to Have Been Let Tor
Its Construction.


Yesterday F. L. Twombly received a tel
egram from his broiher-in law, j. j. Fend-
ley. that q number of Eastern contractors
had arrived at Decatur and had closed q
contract with the Bridgeport coal company
for the construction and equipment of a
line of road between that point and Decatur,
connection being made at the latter point
with the Fort Worth and the Denver rail
way. The amount of the contract price is
not given, but it is known the road can be
built for less than $4,000 a mile. At the
Denver offices nothing was known about the
matter though the officials expressed the
opinion that the construction was being done
by the coal company.
The Bridgeport coal is said to be of an
excellent quality 1t lies in vein three
feet thick; is of i bright lustcr, free
grained and cokes finely. 1t lies in
such manner as to be easily worked at
medium expense and with reasonable tariffs
will work revolution in the prices of fuel
and forever settles the supremacy of Fort
Worth as q manufacturing center This
coal can. il is said be mined at an expense
of not more than Sl.G0 ton. The distance
from Fort Worth by this line is about fifty
miles. Coal can be transported at profit
at the rate Of l cent u ton per mile. Add TO
this the sum of % cents for royalty and you
have coal delivered on board cars in the
city of Fort Worth at an expense of ST. 3
ton. The present cost OF coal is 81. 80 Z ton.

miles would be only IS cents, making the
cost laid down here 500 q ton. While
there is better coal in Texas, this is far
superior to any that reaches the Fort Worth
market

LOBBYING IN COLORADO.
How the Railroad Bill Was Defeated In

Special TO the Gazette.
DENVER, Col, April 1T appears that
all attempts to pass just railroad bill
! through any Colorado assembly is doomed to
result IN Il miserable farce For years SEES

railroad lobby, and all measures Of this
character promptly killed. The defeat of
| the Colorado Central bill in the senate yes
terday has created no little comment be-
cause of the means adopted 10 bring il
about. Senator Bolsinger, on the floor of
the senate, desired an answer to the queS-
ton what has changed the oninior con-
corning the Colorado Central railroad bill "
When that measure was put 10 tho vote
on its third reading, the vote stood, nays,
Is; yeas, II. The senator mentioned Sc
cured the floor and hurled denunCiatiOn at
the authors of the bills defeat. In his re-
marks he asserted that he had taken a
drink at the Windsor bar with well known
citizen of Denver who on that occasion
pulled a roll of bills from his pocket and
said, come on boys and have another
drink, this is railroad money and it is what
have left after defeating the railroad bill
in the house"
This was Mr.. Whites bill A reporter
asked Senator Bolsinger if he objected TO
giving that persons name. He replied
Il Go not It is Mr.. A. NJ. Stevenson"
THE ex-senator"
yes"
The reporter then asked who was present
at the time and was informed that Repre-
sentative White and James Bush were
there and heard the remarks.
Mr.. White, when interviewed, said: 81
really cannot tell exactly what was said at
the time. There We're several persons present
and Stevenson was Growing over the defeat
of my bill, but while such remark might
have been made l could not state positively
that il was"
james Bush, when questioned, said: eyes,

Mr.. Stevenson pulled out roll of bills
don't think there could have been over
500 in the roll, and said, Come on boys
and take another drink, this is railroad
money any way Senator Bolsinger was
there at the time
In reply to the question, 'Mr. Bush would
you, in court, be willing to swear that Mr.
Stevenson made this remark2'' Mr.. Bush
said: NO, would not. If l were called
on to do so would get up on the stand and
deny it. Mr.. Stevenson is a friend Of mine
