old Coiony's Good Record.

The United States Investor recently printed statement of the average holdings of stockholders in a number of weil-known railroad companies, IL was found that there were 6.0i2 stock holders in the Old Colony railroad eom- pany. which gave an average holding Of full shares of twenty-two shares to the stoekholder, The Boston & Provi- denee had an average of twenty-five shares to the stoekhoider. the Boston & Albany an average of thirty shares, and so on up the list. with the Penn. sylvania at fifty-six shares. the New York. New Haven X Hartford at six ty-two shares. the New York Central at ninety. -four. the Louisville & Nash- vile at 360. In the list given. which in- cluded number of other companies that We have not specified, 1t was found that the old Colony road gave the smallest holdings; that is. the Old Colo ny stock appears 10 be more widely distributed among the people than the shares of any other prominent railroad corporation. This is a fact worthy of note, for the reason that until quite recently the old Colony railroad has been the only corporation In this coun- try, we think, that has pursued the method of increasing Its capital stock by selling it's shares at public auction. rather than by giving to It's stockhold- CTS an opportunity 10 subscribe at par for shares selling In the open market at q considerable premium. It has been alleged by those who have op- posed the attempts to prevent this in- direct stock-watering on the part of railroad corporations, that the opportu- nitles to make Indirect dividends were necessary In order to induce the public to invest In railroad properties; that unless this privilege was given the great investing public would consider that justice was withheld and would gradually sell It's holdings to those who viewed railroad shares merely as speculative counters. But as n matter Of experience 1t seems that such asser- tions are entirely without justification In fact. Instead of forcing stockhold- CTS to sell. tbe policy of enriching the company by turning Into the corporate treasury all the premiums received for the sale of stock above par has had the effect of inducing investors to buy, and the old Colony railroad company, so far as its stockholders are con- cerned. occupies a position that many western roads would like to occupy, which have made all sorts of stock div idends in order to attract investors.

NO PAY SINCE OCTOBER.
Colorado Employees of the Santa Fe
Road in a Destitute Condition.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 14.-A committee of
Santa Fe railroad employees from La Junta,
CoL informs Governor Waite that the en-
gineers, conductors, brakemen, switchmen
and trackmen of all grades on the Western
division of the road have received no SAL
ary since last October and many of the men
and their families are the verge Of
starvation. Salaries for November and De-
cember. they say, have been promised at
different times, but i'm every instance the
pay car failed to come. The last date set
bv the management at Topeka was Jan. 10,
peared. The men have exhausted their
credit with the local merchants and as the
railroad company has stopped supplying
coal to its employees many families are suf-
fering from cold as well as hunger.
Governor Waite laid the matter before
Judge Hallett of the United States Court
to-day and Judge Hallett decided to pre-
sent the matter by letter TO the receivers
at Topeka, requesting them TO take imme-
ernor Waite will accompany the letter of
Judge Hallett. 1t was the opinion Of Judge
Hallett that plain statement of the condi-
ton of the Santa Fe employees is all that
is necessary to incte the receivers to imme-
diate measures of relief. Grand Master
Wilkinson. of the Trainmen's Brotherhood,
has been in conference with members of the
order in Colorado City concerning the
wage question. Mr.. Wilkinson declined to
talk for publication as the trainmen feel
they have been kindly treated by the Santa
Fe management in the past and hope to set
tie the pending troubles without attract
ing public attention.

WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.
All Democrats Urged to Assist I'm the
Tariff Fight This Week.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE real work
on the tariff bill will commence tomorrow.
when the bill will be read by sections and
be open To amendment under the five-minute
rule From now on the bill Will be in con-
stant danger of amendment, and the House
Democratic leaders have urged upon all
their colleagues the absolute necessity OF
their continual presence until the final vote
is taken Chairman Wilson said to a re-
porter tonight: 1T is OF the utmost i'm
portance that every Democratic member be
present in the House from this time until
the passage OF the tariff bill. Thus far the
discussion has been limited TO general de-
bate but from this time forward the actual
voting on amendments viii proceed from day
10 day. 1t will be necessary to maintain a
quorum, as the absence at any time of a
sufficient number for a vote might involve
the loss OF a day two in the considera-
ton of the bill. What is of more conse-
quence is that the amending OF the bill
should be made while the friends Of the
measure and the majority OF the House are
present to express their preferences. II
would be most unfortunate if amendments
were made from dag to day through the
absence of a sufficient number of Demo-
cratic members TO prevent them. For this
reason, it is essential that the Democratic
majority should attend the sessions from
tomorrow until the debate closes. as il will
be the only means of avoiding the distortion
OF the entire measure"
The committee amendments necessary TO
corrections discovered in the bill will, ac-
cording to the rule OF parliamentary pro-
cedure. have the right OF way. The amend
ments which the committee offer are con-
sidered pending, and take precedence over
amendments offered by individual members
The bill Will first be read by sections under
the special order, and thereafter be open
TO amendment in any part. The Demo-
cratic members OF the ways and means
committee had a meeting this afternoon 10

HANGED TO A BRIDGE
Three Men Taken from Jail by q
Kansas Mob and Lynched.
The Triple Crime Committed so Quietly
that Few Citizens We're Aware of
1t Until Morning.

RUSSELL, Kan, Jan. 14-A mob of
about twenty men entered the Jail last
night, took out ]. c. Burton, William Gay
and his son, John Gay, and hung the trio
TO small rsilroad bridge a short distance
east of the depot in this city. About mid
night party of fifteen or twenty horsemen
came into the city from the north and left
their horses at the stock yards, where their
plans were arranged. The mob then pro-
ceeded to the Jail. n few citizens who hap
pened to be out late, noticed the suspicious
actions of the mob, but were powerless to
thwart it's purpose, and watched the pro-
ceedings from safe distance No officers
were aroused or made aware of what was
going on until early morning. so quiet were
the actions of the mob. Orders were given
by signs, and obeyed without a word being
spoken.
The Jail Is a small wooden building. sur
rounded by an eight-foot board fence. In
the Jail were two steel cells, In which the
prisoners were confined. Guards were
placed about the jail, and it was but the
work of a moment for the remainder Of
the mob TO gain entrance to the building
The mob then broke off the locks Of tie
jail with sledge hammers. Burton was the
first one taken out. He was taken to the
there under guard, the remainder of the
party returning and Joining the guards
who were watching the Jail. The two Gays
were then taken and marched to the bridge
where Burton had been left Ropes were
placed around their necks and each given
a chance to speak. Burton said he could
tell lots about his connections with stealing
cattle, selling whisky ana other things,
but when asked to tell about the Dinning
murder he replied: No. sir" Young Gay
made a prayer, and said Burton had killed
Dinning with an axe. Old man Gay said:
1--WE were led into this"
The leader then clapped his hands three
times and, quick as a flash. all three We're
pushed off the bridge. The Gays evidently
died from strangulation, but the moose on
Burton's neck slipped around over his chin
and he was heard to breathe heavily for a
moment, then several shots were fired into
his body. The others also had bullets fired
into them. The mob then left as quietly as
it came, going north. The presumption is
that it was composed of persons from the
northern part of the county, the home OF
the criminals, and the scene Of the murder
of Dining.
The crime for which the men were lynched
was the killing of Fred Dinning, in July last
on the Burton place, about twenty miles
northwest of this city. Inquiries regarding
a draft payable to Dinning, and his myster'
ious disappearance, led TO an investigation
and the arrest OF Burton followed. He i'm.
plicated the other two men. Each made q
confession which led to the finding of Din
nings body buried in a field near the scene
of the murder.

An sEnEIishman's View.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-The Times In its
financial article, says that it does not think
any gold will be taken from here by the
United States unless it goes naturally as
an exchange operation. There is plenty Of
gold in the United States, only too small
a portion of it is in the treasury, owing TO
the strange pranks Of the monetary sys-
tenn during the last three years. Broadly
speaking, the transfer from the banks to
the treasury of from thirty to forty million
dollars is required. ''It is not our busi-
ness" the writer says ito suggest a de-
tailed scheme but we do not think il would
be difficult to arrange one on the basis of
an issue of bonds If the banks were al
lowed TO issue notes against them. Not
that they would require to use the power
now, for they are suffering from a plethora
OF unempioyable resources. but IL II neces-
sary to give them the power in order to
meet the expansion OF the volume Of busi-
ness which would come sooner or later"
