G. W. DYE, of Eberton, Ca, who died
n few days ago, bequeathed his whole
estate, valued at 5000, 900, to a negro
family, the members of which he had
owned before the war. He was an &C.
centric man, and in antebellum days
was a large STAKEHOLDER, living on a
baronial estate upon which no white
woman was allowed TO set her foot.
With the abolition of slavery he still
retained his lands and built up another
fortune with the assistance OF the ne
groes to whom he has bequeathed
everything. Under the circumstances
1t would seem he did the correct
thing.

a good supply of soft coal, coolly replaced
his coat, fixed his team and leisurely
drove off towards town, and then out i'll

thought that one of the others was help

matter. They afterwards discovered
that the farmer had secured load of
coal for nothing, except the display of a
good quantity of nerve and gall. The
party was not noticed closely enough to
identify him.

MEXICAN RAILWAYS.


Buildiag Operations Active Notwithstsnd-
ing Financial Depression.
MEXICO CRY, Dec 27.--A railroad
building boom is rapidly developing in
Mexico Notwithstanding the general
financial depression. Word was re-
ceived by private cable message from
London that Deldn Sanchez, the con-
tractor ON the International railroad,
has consummated q loan for CO, ,OOO, 600
for the completion Of the line to Aca-
pulco, the Pacific Coast terminus. The
portion remaining to be built is 300
miles, and will give a transcontinenta!
route across Mexico from Vera Cruz,
the terminus on the Gulf of Mexico, to
Acapulco, the coming great seaport on
the Pacific coast.
The Mexican government has large
force Of men, numbering about 1900,
pushing the construction Of the Tehuan-
tepec railway, and Colonel H. Sampson,
the millionaire railroad operator Of Kan
sas City, has the work Of completion on
the Mexico, Cuernavaca and Pacific rail
road well under way. This line is also
aiming at Acapulco, on the Pacific
ocean, and is Il sharp rival to the Inter-
oceanic for the west coast trade.
The Mexican National Construction
company is building from Colima to
Guadalajara, on the Mexican Central,
and this latter road is arranging for ct
least three extensions to its present sys-
tenn.
An option for $3.50, 900 is out Tor the
purchase of the Valley railroad Of the
suburbs of the City of Mexico. The in
tending purchaser is the District Rail-
way company Ut the Mexico City Fed
eral district, although another company
is also after the Valley road, largely for
The purpose of absorbing its valuable
franchise for the right of way to Q new
road.
The Metropolitan Belt Railway COM
pany, which includes General Herman
Strum, Colonel w. J. Degrees and other
people, is getting things in shape to
build its line around the City of Mexico.
This line will c',st'when completed about
$75O,OOO, and when completed will
probably prove one of the best paying in
the country.
The government has granted con-
cessiOn to Senores Guadalupe Guadama
and Melesio Alcartara for the construc-
ton Of line running from Cazatdero,
OH the Mexican Central railroad, to the
station of Teps0ngo, ON the National.
The cutoff line will be about 75 miles in
length, and will greatly lessen the con-
Meeting distance between the two roads.

that large and growing fund to be
used in the hope of defeating the Wilson
tariff bill is being raised by manufactur-

That money is being subscribed for such
a purpose is already an open secret.
How vast the sum is and who are its
custodians, at present writing are not,
however, 80 clear. Opponents of the
Wilson tariff measure talk freely on gen.
eralities, but will not tell what they will
do with their money.
