Matters of Interest in savannah and
EIsewh ere.

The records OF railway building for the
past year show 2S2 miles Of tracks to have
been laid in Canada within the past year,
on ten lines, and l61 miles laid in Mexico
on seven lines. Final returns will prob
ably increase this record somewhat. The
prospect for next year in these countries
seems to be for a considerably greater adj
dtion.
The management OF the Baltimore and
Ohio is seeking, by an increase in the mo-
tive power and a decrease in the number
of cars to each passenger train to make
better time on the up-grades where 1t
crosses the Alleghanies, and thus be able
to reduce the speed down the grades and
around the curves. AS it is, the running
is calculated TO make nervous passengers
fearful, and the proposed plan, by estab-
fishing a better average without length
ening the time of the trip, will doubtless
prove very satisfactory to them.

CEDAR FALLS. Iowa. Feb. 1S.-
When Mort Trusdale, of Kenosha,
Wis, confessed at the revival meeting
to the murder of a man named Shell
don at Leadville, Colorado. September
/. 1890. as mentioned in these dispatches
yesterday, he said:
az have been trying to lead a Chris
tan life for several years, but have
been conscious all the time that L was
a great sinner. I am guilty of murder
and am ready to surrender myself to
the officers. want to serve the Lord
and cannot do it without leaving off
this awful burden"

and while I was in bed he rifled my
pockets, taking some private letters
which contained matter showing that
I was detective. [ did not know he
took the letters until we had trouble
the next day. In the morning we
started afoot for Leadville. When
within a few miles of that city I gave
out and could go no further. Sheldon
began swearing at me and spoke of
the letters he had taken from my
pockets. He said he had found out I
was a detective and would give him
the worst of it for the crookedness he
had told me of. He became enraged
and as he came in front of me with a
knife L pulled a revolver and shot him
in the head. I fired two shots. The
first bullet struck him in the temple.
The other bullet took effect in the back
of his head. After the shooting 1 laid
the revolver by Sheldon's side and

Isle has not yet decided to whom shall

made nor will he do so until the exact
amount of the default shall be ascer-

the secretary required the deposits to be
made ''on or before the 18th day of Feb

several San Francisco bidders that their
notice of acceptance was not received IN
til after Office hours on the 18th, and
hence they were unable to comply with
the Secretary's direction. The facts as to
TINS matter and also as to the reliability
OF one or more Chicago bidders, are now
being. investigated and until a conclusion
mas been reached no official discussion
in regard to the disposition of the default
bonds will be announced. There seems to

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-The Paris cor

tain the ministry means to stop where
it is and there is a possibility of a coup
d etat. The government may declare
its intention to govern without the
senate. A statesman tells me the
obstacle is General Saucier. governor
of Paris, and generalissimo in case Of
war. Saucier is old, opposed to change
and prepared to march against revo-
lutfonary government with the utmost
vigor. A few months ago he said to
one of the moderate ministers in
power:
Keep me as long as you possibly
can. You will need me and enc regf-

The radicals prove that they regard
the situation as revolutionary by de-

rity of her territory
My government, complying with in
ternational laws, will observe the
neutrality which they prescribe: but
it cannot be deaf to the clanor of
these people DESTROYS of the termina-
ton of the struggle. and it is due to
this that / have the honor to address
your majesty as an enancipated child

your wisdom and inspired by your
humanitarian and noble sentiments.

turn peace to Spain and Cuba.
"By granting Cuba her independence

will have done justice to the aspira-
lions of Cuba, without any loss of
decorum.

letter as proof of the loyal friendship
which Ecuador processes to Spain. for

dress it to you as well as nv sincere
desire to see the glory of your throne
increase, OF the throne which you with
so much prudence and foresight oc-

lister as well as to charges of i'm

Ter and bookkeeper at the points of
pistols, shut them into the big vault,
raked all the coin in sight into a sack
and then vanished without leaving a
trace behind
The Market street bank is a small
concern, recently opened in the
Spreckels building on Market street,
right in the business section of the
city. Cashier Hopkins and Bookkeep-
er Hayshorst were the only ones in the
bank at 9:45 this morning when three
masked men entered Pointing their
pistols at the heads of the bank en-
ployees. the robbers ordered them to
throw up their hands. Hayshorst
obeyed, but Hopkins endeavored to get

one of the robbers stopped him and he
threw up his hands. The bullet did
not hit the cashier, but the bullet was
fired at such close range that his face

was burned by the powder The rob-
bers then went behind the counter
and hustled their prisoners into the
vault. They shut but could not lock
the door, and then raked in the coin
from the money trays into sack.
Then they left the building. No one
saw them go in or saw them come out
of the building, and although an of
1cer arrived in less than a minute
after the robbery had been committed,
not trace of the thieves could be
found. The bank people will not say
how much money was taken, but the
amount does not exceed $500. Police
man Dover, who was the first officer
to arrive, made an investigation of the
premises and heard the statements of
the bank officials. He expresses doubt
that any robbery was committed.
The bank officials stated tonight
that the robbers got away with $4,000,
