SENATOR FAULKNER says it is I'M
reasonable to suppose that the popu-
lists in North Carolina and other States
of the South will unite with the repub-
Means. On the contrary, such union
would be the only evidence of reason
the populists referred to have as yet
manifested. There is no reason in
them; they hate the democrats because
the latter, with good cause, don't think
them fit to hold office, and will con.
tinue to think so. If then they should
break the union they have already
made With the republicans, even the
credit for the little reason they are al
lowed by some, would be destroyed.

THE CENTRAL PACIFIC.

A special dispatch from New York to
the S. F. Chronicle says:
There has been received here from
London copy OF circular which the
dissenting stockh oders of the Central
Pacific are sending out. 1t says that
while the business of the road has been
depressed the debts OF the Government
have been matured, so that some effici-
ent plan of reorganization is impcra-
tive. The leading considerations to be
sought after are the ahrogation OF the
lease to the Southern Pacfc and the
meeting OF the debts to the United
States, according to their tenor, which
are prerequisites to the assumption to
full dividends on the stork.
In the matter of the Southern Pacific
lease the circular is emphatic in the
opinion that some mortgage antecedent
to the lease must be foreclosed, subject
to plan protecting the stockholding IN
terests. The recent eXten, ion OF the
first mortgage has eliminated that secu-
ritv as an active facior, and it is Propos-
ell TO utilize the second mortgage to wipe
oai the lease, discharge the Government
debt and leave unaffected the s,o'khold-
ing interest. The circular says that to
accomplish these results to minimize the
Government bebt must be abandoned
and the stockholders must unite with

Seattle, Wash. Nov. 3-The Pacific
Northwest Sas startled last August by
the news that Treasurer George Nc
Auley. of the Carlboo Mine Boundary
district. British of Columbia. had been
held up by lone highwayman and
robbed of $1,000 in gold bullion Not
less of a sensation was sprung the other
day, when Ii was announced that Mat
thew Roderick, a supposed respectable
citizen of Seattle, was accused OF the
crime. and was killed near the Carlboo
Mine byAhe foreman.
Roderick was working in the mine,
but was i'll there at the time of the hold
up. Soon after the robbery he re-
turned to Seattle, and since then has
been shadowed by detectives. \ week
ago last night Roderick left the city,
ostensibly on business. Detectives be-
lieved he had gone back after the bullion
he could not carry away, as there were
three bars, TWO large and one small
The latter one contained 81 600. and IL
was believed Roderick took that one ont
ana hid the other two. Nothing more
was heard of the case until n tele-
gram announced the killing of Rodcrick
Detectives have two anidavits from
men who live in the Carlboo mining
country. alleging that Roderick tried 10
get them 10 go in with him on the hold
up. Roderick leaves widow and two
children in Seattle. The woman first
heard of her husbands death when Off

a search warrant. She wanted to take
the heart out of one of them. In q
small safe $500 i'll gold was found. in
addition to papers. showing that Rode
rick had spent several hundred dollars
since returning to Seattle. When Rode
rick left the mine just after the hold-up
he was so poor that the miners made up
subscription of $S3 to help him out.

Purcell a serious accident was averted
Engine No. {. While standing on the
track at Virginia Beach had suddenly
started off down the track with neither
engineer nor fireman aboard her. She
rapidly gained momentum, but after
to go down and the speed slackened
gradually. Just at this point, or when
near Lynnhaven station. the passenger
train hove in sight. The engineer of
the approaching train saw the runaway
but thinking she was an extra trying TO
make the siding at LynnhaVcn he
tslacked down To allow her time To reach

reduce her speed, howeveri he quickly
discovered that she was without II
crew.
Engineer Purcell had to be quick TO
save the lives entrusted to his charge
Quickly reversing his engine he began
to back the passenger train. He allow
ed the runaway to gain ON bin and so
perfectly did he guase the speed OF his
train that the shock was scarcely per-
ccptiblc when the pilots of the two en-
gineS came together
The speed of both machines was easily
checked then. and the fireman climbed
over the pilots and took charge of the
