Many Years.
New YORK, June 3O.-The Railway
Gazette, in its issue to-day, says: Ger
tain1y nobody has been looking for the
present year to make much of a record
as a year for railroad building, and
probably many will be surprised to
learn that there has been more than .
normal of new railroad building. Yet
the returns of track laid in 1894 up to
July show an aggregate of 495 miles.
This is the lowest half-year's record
that has been reported for years.
The following figures account for
new track laid by states: Arizona, %;
Arkansas, 10; California, Is; Colorado,
4s; Florida, SO; Georgia, 8; Illinois, 4;
Louisiana, 3; Michigan, 6; Minnesota,
5; Missouri, 6; New Jersey, 30; New
York, 2; North Carolina, 10; Ohio, 43;
Pennsylvania, 80; South Carolina, 54;
Texas, Is; Virginia, 8; West Virginia,

RESTRAINING ORDER ISSUED.
Judge Philips Prohibits Santa Fe Trainmen
Interfering with Running of PuIImans.

Judge Philips Prohibits Santa Fe Trainmen
Interfering with Running of PuIlnans.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 30.-Judge
Philips, in the United States circuit
court this morning, issued an order re-
straining the Santa Fe employees from
interfering with the running of Pull
man cars. The order was made on the
application of the receivers by Gardiner
Lathrop and Samuel w. Moore, of this
city. The application states that the
strikers have threatened to stop the COM
pany's trains, and have done so, in their
efforts to prevent the running of sleep
ing cars. It asks that they be enjoined
from congregating on the company's
property, and from Gripping the serv-
ice in any way. 1t also asks that they
be restrained from quitting the COM
pany's employ by preconeerted action.
The order differs from those issued
by other courts in that it admonishes
the employees not to quit the service OF
the company. A direct order not to
quit company's service is something
that no court has ever attempted to en-
force and the order by Judge Philips
is as sweeping as any that has been
made

CLARK AND JONES HANGED.

Nine. Wright's Murderers Expiate Their
Crime Upon the Gallows.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 30,-Harry
Jones and William C. Ricksher, alias
John Clark, who murdered Madame
Wright on September 9, 1893, suffered
death on the gallows yesterday.
With smile on his lips Jones was
hanged inside the walls of the 1ade-
pendence Jail at 900 o'clock a. M He
marched to the scaffold singing a
hymn, and when the trap was sprung
he was the coolest man present.
He was sustained throughout not by
bravado, but by the consciousness that
he was going straight to Heaven. His
neck was broken by the drop of feet,
and fourteen minutes later life was de-
clared to be extinct by the physicians.
From the time the trap fell until the
last heart pulsation he never moved a
muscle, and his death was evidently as
painless as it was rapid.
Clark was hanged in the county jail
in this city at lilo o'clock. His neck
was broken and he was declared dead
in seven and one-half minutes. Like
Jones he died bravely but his com
posure came from the determination to
endure the ordeal without f1inching.
His last words uttered in a trembling
voice were: MAY my God forgive
me-" A voice from one of the specta-
! tors responded solemnly amen

JUNG'S MISTAKE.
He Attempts to Buy a
Witness for $40.
A Sensation in Commissioner Hea.
cocks Court Yesterday Morning.
Further Trouble Expected.

The driver Of the police patrol wagon sta
toned at the old City Hall station, A. H.
Josephs. created sensation in Uniled States
Commissioner HeacOck's room yesterday morn
ing by going on the stand and giving the details
of an attempt at subornation of prrjury and
bribery upon the part of certain Chinese in this
city.
On the China steamship Peking, which ar
rived in port last Tuesday, as a steerage pas
senger came one Ng On Ngai, young male
Chinese, who claimed a right to land in this
country on the grounds OF being a native born
Californian and the son of Ng Ping N'gai. the
well-known Chinese doctor. Collector Wise
had doubts about the rights OF the young man
in this country, especially as he claimed to
have left here when an infant, and so refused
him landing. A writ of habeas corpus was
sworn out returnable before Judge Heacock
yesterday morning.
Several days ago Patrol-driver Josephs called
on Judge Heacock and told him the following
story.
"My business previous to entering the police
service" said Josephs, "was that of rent
vocation followed for nearly twenty years
and naturally became acquainted with many
Chinese families. On several occasions have
come into this court and testified in behalf OF
certain Chinese whom l knew. About a week
ago Chinese by the name OF Yee Hi Jung
came to me and said there was Chinese who
wanted TO see me up In Chinatown that night.
L went up to see him, and he took me to room
in house In st. Louis alley where he intro
duceQ ME 10 aDOkn6r CDlneS6 ana t0on stated
his business. He offered me $40 IL would 90
into court and swear that knew the man. He
then said, "Now PIl be the lawyer and you be

questions and telling me what should answer
Fin lily, he had me write the questions and
answers down on piece of paper. l left
without promising that / would testify. but
leaving the imDi DiessiOn that / would, aud the
money was to be paid me as soon as left the
stand"
Judge Heacock had Josephs repeat his story
to Assistant District Attorney Knight and was
told to go ahead and pretend that he would
perjure himself. When the case was called
yesterday J0sephs was on hand in the United
States District Attorneys office and kept out of
sight until all the testimony showing that Ng
On N'gai had right 10 land was in and then
he was put on the sand.
Yee hi Jung was present and he turned as
near white as it is possible for an opium
smoked Mongolian TO do when Josephs walked
into court On the stand the patroi-driyer mar
rated the facts as given above and then Judge
Dibbe, the attorney for the Chinese, asked that
the case go over until next Tuesday morning at
which time he intimated that he would not only
prove the right OF his client 10 land but wouId
attack Josephs' character and reputation for
truth, honesty aud integrity. The case was
continued and Yee fiji Jung is being watched
preparatory to his arrest for attempting to buy

years he has held the position OF gold commits

"The annual output from the Caribou dis
trict is about 100000" said Mr.. Bowren.
quite an influx OF miners from California and
colorado is now taking place, and we look 10
see great development. American miners
are cordially welcome, as their experience
makes them Invaluable TO the district. The
way OF reaching there from Vancouver Is TO
take the Canadian Pacific TO Ashcroft, where
weekly stage connects with the mines bout
ZOo miles distant. When the British Pacific
Is constructed, which VIII run from Victoria

norm and cross to The mainland where the
waters narrow, thence proceeding in an east

Formerly the method OF mining was to sink

can WORK in twenty-five feet of water, bringing

Improvement of harbors.
j. f. Hawks has lease for ten miles along
the Smoky River. The lease runs for twenty
years. He is now IN this city arranging for

The mining laws of Canada are very liberal"
continued Mr. BOwren. "a license costs So.

Mr.. Bowren was a passenger on the City OF
