EXTEND TO CHICAGO
j. j. HILLS LATEST MOVE
Great Northern President Credited with
Seeking a Winter Outlet for His
Road-Likely Story From
the Windy City.

CHICAGO, Nov. "A project is under
way for extending the Great Northern
railroad to Chicago. 1t is the outgrowth
of deal whereby belt line was to
have been built around Milwaukee, but
which fell through, owing to the scheme
of constructing Great Northern con-
nection to this city. There is every
reason to believe that within couple
of years at the latest the through line,
now only outlined ON paper, will be in
operation. Several conferences have
already been held with j. J. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern, and the
Eastern capitalists interested. One Of
the conferences was upon the question of
Extending the Great Northern
from Superior to Milwaukee and Chi
cago, the object being to give the Great
Northern an outlet to the lake and rail
centers of business and through all
winter route. AS result of these re-
cent conferences it was found that the
great railroad protector and operator
had already considered the same scheme
and looked fayorably upon it. He said
frankly, however, that the present was
no time to undertake such an enter
prise, but he felt that some time in the
not distant future the plan would be-
come possibility and very practical
one.
Wants a Winter Outlet.
1t is said that Mr.. Hill is giving the
matter good deal of attention, and
that an extension of the Great Northern
from Superior to Chicago, via Milwau-
kee, is not among the railway improba-
bilities. The distance to Milwaukee
would be about $50 miles, and if built to
this city, an across-the-lake line would
be at once formed as the outlet to the
seaboard, and rail outlet would be Sc
cured at Chicago AT present the Great
Northern is practically tied up in the
winter months as far as any lake outlet
is concerned. ...... ..

BURNED AS HERETICS
AWFUL STORY FROM MEXICO
Ten Persons Placed in Jail at Texacapa
and the Building Fired by Order
of a Local Judge-The Ma
tives In Frenzy,

NEW YORK, Nov. A special to
The World from Pachuca, Mexico,
says: News comes from Texacapa, a
small town inhabited by Indians and
Mestizos (half- -breeds), that 10 persons
were burned there as heretics by order
of the auxiliary town judge. He claims
he was acting according to the will of
God, manifested to him in an extraordi-
nary vision, accompanied by certain indi-
cations of divine wrath against heretics
and people leading immoral lives. The
dispatch adds: AS soon as the news
reached Mollango, the principal town in
the district, the municipal president
and minor officials, with a escort of
over 60 men armed with rifles, went to
Texacapa, where they found everybody
in the public square,
Executing Grotesque Dances
in honor of the virgin of Guadaloupe,
around the ruins of the Jail, a small
building solidly constructed, close to
the parish church. In this Jail previous
to Saturday had been confined Nicolas
Hernandez, Martin Santiago, Jose
Manuel, Casper Hernandez, Juan
Tomas, Juan Tomas, Jr., Maria Juana,
Maria Magdalena, Maria Conception
and an infant child. They had been
rudely hustled from their homes at
dead of night ON the extraordinary
charge preferred by the auxiliary town
judge that their lives were an evil in
the sight of God, and that they were
enemies of the faith and heretics whom
God had ordered through His holy saint
to be consumed by fire. The auxiliary
judge related this with the utmost
sangfroid to the authorities. He added
that God had wrought astonishing
miracles to confirm what the saint had
told him in the vision.
Obeyed the Divine Command,
Said the judge: 81 obeyed the Di-
vine command and ordered out my con-
stables and we took these sinners from
their beds and dragged them in the
darkness of night, weeping and wailing,
to the Jail. When they were locked
securely in ordered the constables to
set the building on fire."
Twenty-one arrests were made al
though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities. The prisoners
securely bound around the arms and
chained together, were marched to
Mollango, where a juf icial investiga-
tion will take place.

WATER FAMINE AT RACINE.
j. i. Case Manufacturing Company
Forced to Close Its Plant.

RACINE, Wis. Nov. Mot within
the memory Of the Oldest inhabitant OF
Racine has the stage of water in Root
river been so low as at present. For
over five months it has been from Is to
20 inches below datum, but Saturday
it went even lower, and as a result the
immense J. /. Case Plow company
plant was obliged to close down, not be-
ing able to get water from an aqueduct
running from the boilerrooms to the
river. The end of the pipe leading to
the river was above the water. If the
water does not come up soon the firm
will be obliged to make other arrange
,ments for water.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.-Henry III.
Holmes was convicted of murder in the
first degree at Sol Saturday night for
killing Benjamin F. Pitzel. He coughed
slightly when he heard the words. That
was the only sign. The jury retired to
deliberate at $40. According to one of
their number, they reached their verdict
before the doors of their room closed
upon them. For hunger's sake they
ate their supper first. Then they took
a ballot and without hesitation every
man of the IL answered guilty of muir
der in the first degree"
Immediately after the announcement
of the veSdict the usual application for
leave to file motion for a new trial
was made. District Attorney Graham
did not oppose the motion, and Judge
Arnold fixed the 18th of this month for
a hearing. The principal reasons urged
will be lack of time for the preparation
of the defense.

Policy of the Great Northern Dishonest
and Disreputable.
WOODSTOCK, Ills, Nov 4.-Eugene "
Debs has made the following statement
with reference to the threatened strike
on the Great Northern railway system:
1.-THE policy of the Great Northern
company in relation to its employees is
totally dishonest and disreputable For
several months scheme has been in
operation to disrupt the American Rail
way union, Notwithstanding the solemn
pledge of President Hill that no en-
ploye should be interfered with on ac-
count of his connection with the
organization. The strike Of April, 1894,
resulted in an agreement between the
company and the union, which was ef-
fected May l., under the auspices of a
board of arbitration, composed wholly
of merchants and manufacturers. Ire
mendous reductions, ranging from 10 to
40 per cent, had been made by the COM
pany, and these were restored by the
board. From that day to this the COM
panv has not lived up to its agreement
one hour. Competent and trustworthy
employees have been discharged again
and again for no other reason than that
they belonged to the union"

ern Trouble.
A. r. u. Lodges Voting on the

Action of the Roads Officials
Denounced by PreSi-

ST. PAUL., Nov. 4.-The threatened
trouble on the Great Northern road has
developed no new phase locally, so far
as could be learned. There were num-
Der Of rumors around, but inquiry
failed to verify any of them. 1t was
said that some Of the men were about
to quit work ON some divisions of the
road. Certain persons interested in the
matter, but not affiliated with the
American Railway union, said it was
highly improbable that anything of
that kind would occur for a few days
at least, if at all. So far as the rail-
road people are concerned, they are not
believed to be apprehensive of any
serious trouble, claiming that the great
majority of employees have no griev-
ances and are not in sympathy with the
men who came to st. Paul last week.
Secretary Keliher Talks
Sylvester Keliher, general secretary
of the American Railway union, was
seen and said:
II have sent kilograms to all the
lodges along the line of the Great North
ern road, asking for an immediate reply
as soon as action is taken in regard to
the Great Northern situation. AS rail-
road men are not always in position to
attend a meeting at moments notice,
may not get answers for day or two
yet. Meetings will be held all along
the line and all the men will have to be
given a chance to vote. Those who are
out on their runs will have to cast their
votes ON their return. OF course, I am
unprepared to say what action the men
will take, as the whole matteris decided
by vote, Under no circumstances will
a member Of the A r. U. be permitted
to pass an opinion on the question of
whether there is to be strike or not"

the Central Trust company of New
York to foreclose trust deed of 81, 300,-

to trial at the next term. The defend
ants main allegation is that the bonds
and mortgages of the trust company
were all issued to them without any
authority whatever from the stock
holders. The laws Of Minnesota, un-
der which the steel company is organ
lied, require majority vote of the
stockholders before a mortgage can be
valid, and it is claimed that this
authority was never given.

Then And Now.

A year ago, when the industrial
interests of the country were pros
trate, there is no doubt that Cover
nor Mckinley was far in the lead
of all competitors for the Republic
can nomination for President.
Things, however, are different now.
The glorlfcation of the Mckinley
tariff as a measure of the greatest
Legislative wisdom has almost
ceased. To admiration for the Nc
Kinley act and it's putative parent
has succeeded strong belief that
that measure, and not the fear Of
its repeal. was a potent cause OF
the depression in manufacturers
and trade in 1894. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that in the
midst of the industrial revival that
has followed swiftly upon the re-
pleal of the Mckinley tariff saga
cious Republican leaders should
shrink from the tariff issue in the
campaign of next year. These Re-
publicans recognize keenly that
the nomination of Governor Nc
Kinley for President in renewing
tariff agitation and menacing the
industrial peace would be a dan,
gerous, if not a fatal, party move.
