THROUGH NICARAGUA
President Sarcasa Grants Americans
the Privilege of Constructing
Railroad.
Present Panama Route From Atlantic
to Pacific Ports Will be Much
Shortened.
Certain Requirements Mad Regard
ing the Equipment and Main
tainance of the Road.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. Is. = Charles
Thornton, an American engineer, just
returned from Nicaragua, states that con-
cessions have been granted number of
Americans by President Sarcasa and the
Nicaraguan government for the construc,
ton of a narrow gauge railroad for freight
service from Momatombo, on Lake Man
ague down the valley of the Rio Grande
river to Limos, a total dis ance of 1877
miles, The road will connect at Mona
tombo with narrow guage road that now
runs from Corinee on the Pacific coast to
Manague, the capital Of Nicaragua.
1t is estimated that the proposed
route will be 5000 miles shorter than the
present Panama route between San Fran
cisco and New York and at least 100
miles shorter than the proposed route of
the Nicaragua canal. Limos is sixty
miles from the mouth of the Rio Grande
river, which engineers believe could very
readily be made navigable for deep water
steamers.
In addition to building the railroad and
opening the bar of the Rio Grande river
it is required that line steamers to run
twice month between the Rio GTande
and the United States be maintained, that
custom houses and other buildings for the
use of the government. together with tel
egraph and telephone lines, be constructed
along the route of the proposed road and
that the DAD be adequately equipped for
the expedition of traffic. thornton says a
part of the road will be completed and in
operation within two years.

He Inhaled a Nail.

DR.. j. w. Craig. of Churchville. in
conversation with representative of
the Rochester Union, gave the follow
ing account of case within his own
experience which is somewhat similar
to that of DR.. Boutwell,. in whose lung
a cork lodged. causing his death.
Some five or six years ago man was
employed tearing down I'm old wooden
building in Norta Bergen. While he
worked on an upper portion of the
structure, his son IA boy Of eight or
nine wears. with eyes and mouth wide
open. gazed mp at him. A rusty nail
drawn from the wood slipped from the
hammers claw. and. descending. en-
tered between the open jaws of the
bow and lodged in the left lung. as
nearly as possible occupying the same
position as the cork liz tie lett bronchus
of the lamented Rev. DR.. Boutwell,.
PHYSICIANS attended the victim Of the
accident, but he did not succeed in re-
moving the obstacle. The BOYS gen.
eral health remained good, but he was
troubled considerably by severe fits of
coughing In one of those about two
wears after the nail had disappeared it
was dislodged and forced from the
bows mouth. The boy is at present
strong and well. and has never appar-
emily sustained any injury from his
extraordinary adventure. He is now
living in Churchville, this country.

SAYS HARRISON is HASTY.

Venezuelan Ex-Cabinet Officer Talk.
of the Restoring of Duties.
New YORK, Dec. IA Washington
correspondent wires an interview with
Antonio NJ. Soteldo, at one time mem
Der Of the Venezuelan cabinet, who
said:
Il am strong advocate of recipro-
city as the means of bringing about
a closer social, commercial and politi-
cal intercourse among all the republics
OF the new world, and I have not
the least doubt that Mexico, Vene-
zuela, Guatemala, Colombia, Costa
Hlca, Salvador, Peru and Ecua-
dor will in time approve in some
shape or other of the pending treaties
of reciprocity. If there is some delay
1t must be attributed not to any lack
of good wishes on the part of these
countries, but to their present system
of revenue, which cannot be altered at
once without first finding the proper
means to replace what must be elimin-
ated to give place 10 the requirements
of the reciprocity conventions.
President Harrison is represented as
having decided to exercise at once the
power vested in him in section of
the reciprocity clause of the Mckinley
tariff bill, restoring the duties on sugar,
coffee, hides and molasses from the
countries which have not negotiated
reciprocity treaties with this govern
ment. l am afraid that a sudden
change in import duties on their chief
staple will at once compel the ship
ment of their 100000 bags of coffee to
markets of Germany, France and Eng
land, which are only receiving one
fourth of this amount. A rough esti-
mate of the present accounts between
the merchants of Venezuela and those
of this country will involve no less thaa

OLD AZTEC MINES.
interesting Archaeological Discovery &.
Gently Made IN New Make,

A group of old Spanisl or Az,ec
mines have recently been discovered, at
Las Placitas Of this country. about
twenty five miles from this city. saws
an Albuquerque (New Mexco) cores
pendent of the ST. Louis ReppJ, &c. So
many years have elapsed since these
mines were worked that all trace Of
their history has been lost and The
present inhabitants of the country
know absolutely nothing about them.
ProSpectors recently got on the trail
of what they thought was something
good. and by pushing their investiya,
ton came upon unmiStaka BILE evidences
of what were undoubtedly once rich
workings.
A very extensive system of under
ground work has now been brought to
light. The minerals discovered. while
not of the highest grade, is rich enough
to pay handsomely, and runs general
ly from $50 to 500 to the ton. The re-
mains have been found in several
places OF what were once furnaces for
smelling the ores. There are also large
quantities of Stag, and in several in
stances have been found what are
clearly remains of implements used by
the work men.
But what will still be more interest
ing to the general reader is that these
explorations have developed unmistak-
able evidences of the fact that the
work on these mines, which was per-
formed nobody knows how many GEN.
turtles ago, was brought to a summary
conclusion by an earthquake or gem
eral upheavel of some sort, for not only
are the mine workir rs. smelters, fur
naces, ETC.. buried under some fifteen
feet of earth, but there has also been
found on the same level the ruins of
what was once an aqueduct for bring
ing water to the camp from a source
about ten miles distant.
The camp of Las Placitas, referred
to, is on the eastern slope of the Sandia
mountains about twenty miles from
Albuquerque and promises to become
one of the mosr interesting fields of
archaeological research yet discovered
in this country.

A HAUNTED WHITE OAK.
Under Its Branches Twelve Men We're
Shot to Death.

Near New Holland. Ga, there Is a
little swamp near the road At it's
| edge stands large white oak tree.
Years ago this spot was often pointed
out as the scene of the murder of
twelve men, and the place bore the
reputation of being haunted. 1t was
said the rafting of chains and groans
and prayers for mercy could be dis
tinctly heard by passers-by. No one
ever stopped to investigate, as we can
testify from personal experience, hav-
ing heard the groans some fourteen
years ago. and having also done some
of the most distinguished travelling in
all our eventful career.
But to the story: Howard Thomp-
son was witness to the killing, which
occurred in 1868, he being about ten
years old at the time. The killing
was done by Bob and Ben Jordan, Of
Pickens county, and the murdered
men were deserters who had been ar
rested in Gilmer county.
While the Jordan boys were in the
Confederate army crowd of deserters
visited the house of their father, as
saulted their sister and the wife of Bob
Jordan, and carried their father. who
was about 20 years old, through the
mountains a distance of sixty miles.
and subjected him to many shocking
cruelties. Then the Jordan boys re-
turned home and began their record
of killing. Every man known to be a
deserter or skulker became victim
of their unerrng rifles. Bob kept a
list of the names and dates in small
book. He was pursued one day and
ia crossing river lost his book. 1t
contained 125 names. After that he
kept no record. This was before the
killing near Gainesville.
Bob and Ben Jorden became recruit
ing officers, and arrested twenty-six
men in Gilmer county, and started
with them to the front. On the way
two escaped and twenty-four were
lodged in Gainesville Jail. Next morn
ing the Jordans picked out twelve men
whom they had the best reason to be-
lieve had been implicated in the out
RACES upon their family. and chained
them togethar and marched them to
this white oak tree on the New Holland
road They stood them up in a row.
and Bob Jordan marched slowly along
the line with large army pistol and
shot them with his own hand. one at a
time. Some fell on their knees and
praved while others looked their slay-
err straight in the face and died with
an oath on their lips. Among the
number was fragil boy about ID, who
was chained to a very large man.
The boy was shot first, and the man
supported him in standing posture
until he himself was shot when they
fell to the ground together.
Those twelve men were hastily
buried in trench dug upon the spot.
but after the war they were exhumed
by the Federal authorities and re-
moved to the National Cemetery at
Chattanooga.
After the war Bob Jordan was shot
to death in Florida by a weak, sicklv
young man upon whom he was impos-
inc. Ben was stabbed to death in a
bar-room in Texas.
The spot where the killing occurred
is now in cultivation. but the old tree
still remains The land is part of the
tract which Tom Daniel brought about
two wears ago for 81. 800, and sold a
few days ago for s6O0.-N T. Dis
