Is to have railroad. There was rumor
atoat that the steamer r. G. Stewart
had been chartered by some capitalists
to run between Duluth and Chicago bay
on the north SHIRE next season. Capt,
Con Flynn, the owner and master, was
seen and question as 70 the truth OF
the report upset him.
"Where did you hear such STUFF" he
erquired.
After being hard pressed the captain
admitted that he had chartered his boat
Tor the whole season to carry supplies,
railroad iron, ties or anything else that
the mon whose names are alta he'd to
the contract desire to send to Chicago
bay. The parties are big capitalists
of Kansas City, whose names or exact
plans he is not at liberty to divu1ge.
They have recently been looking over
the ground and now propose to build a
railroad from Chicago bay which is 10
mules below Grand Marais and 1913 miles
from Duluth-to the Canadian boun-
Diary which is IS miles away, in order
to haul ore from iron properties on the
eastern Vesmillion IN the vicinity OF
Gunhlnt lake. -
They may also run line westward
along the range toward Ely to take in
several good properties.
The captain would begin running bis
boat now if weather conditions would
permit.-West Dnluta Sun.

THE GOODMAN RE-TRIAl.
Further Testimony For the Defense.
Hopeful Opinions.


RIoHMoSD, Va, March ga Char
lottesville. Va, special to the Dispatch
says: One of the most dramatic Incl
dents Of the trial occurred Yesterday
afternoon when Col. Craig aud Capt.
Goodman went through the positions
of prisoner and Col. Parsons at the
time of the shooting, Col. Craig stood
by him for twenty minutes and exerted
himself to confuse the witness by some
fine acting and some ehrewd rapid
questioning.
Both stood up together for nearly
twenty minutes, when Capt. Goodman
said that he was very weak, That he
had been sick for several days nnd that
he hoped Col. Craig would not think
him discourteous II he sat down. 1t
wns the general expression of opinion
that MIR. Oraig's manner of GROSS ex-
animation was holpful to the defense.
Albert Nash, colored coach cleaner
In Richmond, said that he was In Rich
mond few days before the tragedy
and saw Capt. Goodman at tho depot.
Capt. Goodman hnd n letter in his hand
and witness heard the prisoner say: 81
have the letter nearly straight; in
tend to put holes in him."
Mr.. +. $. Cook, O baggage master
on the Richmond and Allegheny divIs.
ion, who had been summoned by tho
prosecution, WAS called by the defense.
He said he had seen Capt. Goodman
put Nash off the train.
Capt. Goodman was then put on the
staud and the cross. examination was
resumed, Capt Woods conducting it.
Here followed another recital of the
shooting, without variation from that
aIrendy published.
Witness never said anything about
heart trouble at the last trial, but if
Capt, Woods had any doubt about his
assertion that lie WIS subject to heart
trouble lie would strip to the waist
before tho jury and submit to an ex
animation by physlciuns. He SAID he
was greatly excited at the time of the
tragedy.
Many witnesses testified to Capt.
Goodman's good character and the
general impression of those who have
heard the evidence is that Capt. Good
man will either be acquitted or receive
light punishment.

New York Newspapers Are Asking
Many Questions.


The Now York newspapers having
correspondents in Norfolk are keeping
the wires alive with kilograms of query
as to rumored accident TO President
Cleveland on board the lighthouse
steamer Violet, near Hutteras, n. G.
On Friday night the New York SIM
teiegraphed for fnll details and yester.
day the World and other pnpers kept
their correspondents active looking for
incoming vessels from North Carolina
waters IN search of news of the Presi-
dent. The efforts to obtain news, how
ever, were not successful.
Had President Cleveland met with
any such accident as that reported, 1t
would hive been known here, ms he
would probably have telegraphed for
a bottle of Quratol. that emergency
remedy, which Is recognized through.
out the Eastern States as the greatest
preparation on the market for any Of
the accidents liable to happen. HID
the President not thought OF Quratol
ana had consulted any of the good
people of North Carolina, thew would

costs 30 cents ut uli drug stores. In
