COLORADO'S PROSPERITY.
Henry X. SGlcOtt Interviewed in
New York Rapid Advancement
Of the states Business
Interests.

New York, Nov. 17.-Vice President
Henry R. Wo',cott, of the Colorado Fuel
& Iron Co. and brother of United States
Senator Wolcott, is one of the first of the
prominent business men of Colorado who
have come east since the election. Re-
garding the defeat of the Populists in his
state he said:
"Now that we have demonstrated that
Colorado is not really controlled by Pop
ulists, in fact, that we have buried them be-
yond the hope of resurrection, do not see
why the state should not progress in the
matter of material prosperity as rapidly
as it did before Waite's accidental eleva-
tion to public life created distrust and
apprehension.
"The great value OF our resources is
shown by the fact that five railroads have
reached out from the Mississippi river to
do business with us--the Union Pacific,
the Atchison, the Rock Island, the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Burlington. Besides
capital was easily secured to construct
the line from Colorado to the Gulf of
Mexico. All of these roads and those
who hold their securities are deeply inter
ested in our welfare and so are the secur-
ity holders of the two or three roads that
traverse the state. For these reasons il
seems to me that great number of peo.
pie have watched our political and bust
ness affairs more closely than those OF
any state west of the Mississippi.
"We have lived down the idea that sill
yer Is the main-stay of the states prosper
ity. We will mine this year 40 per cent
more gold than last year. Owing to oul
system of irrigation we have no croE
failures and the development of agricul
tural lands by that system is increasing
steadily. 1t may interest you to know
that last season we shipped out of the
state over a million dollars worth oi
fruit, though the fruit growing industry
is in its infancy"

The Rest Line East.

Is questionably the Burlington route.
In point of equipment, time and service
it is conceded to be superior to all other
lines.
The fast vestibuled "hyer" leaving
Denver daily at p. m, reaches Chicago
at 500 a. m. and st. Louis at 1920 a. M,
the second morning, in ample time to
connect with all fast trains for the east
and south.
1t is also fact worth remembering
that the Burlington is the only line run
ming through trains over it's own tracks
from Denver to Chicago and st. Louis
without change of any class of cars.
For full information call on local
ticket agents, or address G. W. Vallery,
General Agent, 1889 Seventeenth street,

FITZ KILLED HIM.
A Sparring Match Last Night BE-
tween FitZsimmOns and RiOrdan
Results Fatally.

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov. 17.-Riordan, the
pugilist who was knocked unconscious
last night by Bob Fitzsimmons in spar
ring exhibition, died at $3.50 O'Clock this
morning. Fitzsimmons, when informed
of his death, burst into sobs. Fitzsim-
mons is locked up awaiting the action of
the coroner's jury.
Riordan died within five hours after re-
ceiving the blow. He was born in Mel
bourne, Australia, and was 81 years old.
He weighed in fighting condition 160
pounds and had won many battles. He
formerly was Peter Jackson's
spARR1NG PARTNER,
and went to England with him. Later he
was m atched by the Ormond club, of
London, to meet Jack Slavin, and on June
2, 1892, was beaten by him in nineteen
rounds. Since then he has not engaged
in any pugilstic contests.
This is the second sparring fatality in
this city. Yank Sullivan took the news
of his sparrlng partners death to Fitz-
simmons.
"My God, you don't mean to tell me
CANINE IS DEAD"
said the pugillst 81 can not believe it.
I did not hit him hard enough to injure
child" Fitzsimmons did not sleep at
all last night and refused to eat this
morning. To a reporter, Fitzsimmons
said: "Do you suppose l would strike
my sparring partner with any force?

did not know he was in such condition

KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 27.--Jesse

Union stock yards, and when MIR.
George went around TO receive
his cattle he found that only ninety

lie then brought suit In justice OF the
peace court against the railway COM
pany 10 recover the value OF the lost
steers. The case was appealed IN the
circuit court, where the plaintiff re-
ccived verdict, and the defendant APP
pcalcd to the court Of appeals.
The railway company relied for de-
Tense upon the bill OF lading, under
which the stock was shipped. This
bill of lading recited that the stock
was TO be under charge OF J. George or
his agents, and that the company, In
consideration for transportation for two
persons, assumes no responsibility for
safety OF stock in charge Of shipper
or his agents, whether from theft,
heat, jumping from the car, injury in
loading or unloading, injury or damage
which stock may do themselves, or
which may arise from the reasonable
delay Of trains, or from any other
cause, or accident, or injury, except
those occurring by reason OF gross neg.
ligence Of the company"
The finding for tho plaintiff by the
circuit court was sustained by Judge
Smith, who held that common carrier
was not permitted by law to contract
against its own negligence, and that
the provisions contained in thc bill Of
lading were only binding when applied
