ALEADER OF PICKPoCKETS.-Ad dis
patch from Madrid says : The arrest OF
a wealthy landowner at Gatafe has led
to the discovery that he is the leader of
bands of pickpockets whose scope is iu-
ternational. A rich gypsy named
Montoya was recently robbed OF 81 900
at the railway station at Arapjuez. The
landowner was suspected and his arre t
followed.
The police inquiries show that he is a
noted pickpocket, and that under his
direction other thieves work in Spain,
France and Italy. The prisoner was
convicted some years years ago and
sentenced to q term in the prison ct
San Sebastian, whence he escaped. After
gaining his liberty he bought splendid
estate, saying that he was retired
merchant. When he was arrested q
day or so ago he ordered a carriage and
pair, in which he was driven to the Jail
in Madrid.

RAILROAD FOR VIRGINIA.
the heading. "An Important Railroad
Enterprise" the Manufacturers Record,
of Baltimore, says:
"The Chesapeake and Western Rail
road, which is being constructed across
the valley of Virginia, assumes great
Importance in view OF the fact that it
now develops that its president is to be
J. w. Reinhart, late president of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road.
The coming into the south of q man of
such prominence in the railroad world
as Mr.. Reinhart is but another indica-
tion of the concentration of the great
business and financial powers of the
country in southern development work.
Twenty-seven miles of line, the rails
for which are now being received,
will carry the road across Rocking
ham county, Virginia, from Elkton,
on the Norfolk & Western, through
Harrisonburg, on the Baltimore q Ohio
to Bridgewater. This cuts across the
valley OF Virginia and opens up one Of
the finest agricultural regions in Amer.
lea and one for which its agricultural
productions alone could make profit
able such railroad; but in striking
westward toward West Virginia, this
road is pointing to the very heart of the
timber and coal district of that State
by the most direct and shortest line OBJ
tainable. 1t is possible for this line to
be extended into these coal and timber
fields and open up region of almost
infinite freight-creatipg possibilities;
and then by extending eastward reach
tidewater at some point on the Chesa-
peake bay, thus creating a new
through line from the Chesapeake to
the coal and timber fields of West Vir-
pipia.
