Local Railroads and When
They We're Built.
First Conception Oh Line of
Turnpike and Canal.
A Minister Who Is Champi0ning the
Wearing Of Boomers.

The fact that it is proposed TO change
from steam to electricity on some of the
railroads running out of the city and
traversing the east and west shores of the
bay has led a correspondent to ask the
Gossiper at what dates the various roads
now connecting with Providence first be-
gan operations. The pioneer road was
the Boston a. Providence, which was in
corporated in October, 1881. The capital
was $500, 900, and il was TO be used by
any person who would comply with the
rules and regulations made by the direc-
tors. The charter provided for the es-
tablishrnent of toll houses andsthe fixing
OF tells, showing that mt that carly duy of
railroad development promoters and logis-
lators alike regarded the railroad more in
the light of turnpike or canal than any
thing else. That charter did not prove
tatisisctory and in May, 1884, another
war granted the Boston 81 Providence
transportation Company. Under this
charter III connection with one granted
by the State OF Massachusetts, the road
was constituted and was opened for busi-
ness In 1885, the Providence terminal be-
ing at India Point, not far from the pres
ent location OF the Union. Oil Works. The
trains over this road mado connections
with the boats to and from New York and
new ones were sdded very early In he
history of the enterprise, as the increas-
ing traffic demanded.
The second railroad was the New York,

the Stonington railroad. 1t was chartered

PRINCE ITURBIDE SUED
BY HIS VALET.

Washington, D. c. Sept. 2.
There is a warrant out for
Prince Augustine Iturbide, and
legal proceedings are promis-
ed for tomorrow which may
add materially to the Princes
notoriety. His former valet
will prosecute the Mexican
nobleman for assault and sue
him for S445 wages. The valet
is a handsome young man,
about rs years old, and just
such a looking valet as a no.
bleman would be expected to
have, but the valet says the
Prince has never paid him the
s42 per month which was pro-
missed in 1892 when he was
engaged. Two dollars or So,
he says, was all he could ex-
tract from the Prince at a time.
The young mans name is
Thomas ]. Carney, and Amer
lean by birth, but he speaks
Spanish and says he has been
veryuseful to the Prince since
1892.
The Prince has chambers
at 1913 Seventeenth street,
northwest, in what is known
as Shepherd row. Mrs. Boyle,
AN elderly woman, is the
Princes landlady. He has a
suite of rooms on the second
floor, and until Thursday he
INDUCED in a valet. Thursday
morning the valet struck for
his unpaid wages, when the
Prince, he claims, compromis-
ed by assaulting him the next
morning with his first.

WILL MAKE A FIGHT.
Democratic Leaders Believe
That Bryan Can Garry
New York State.

New York, Sept. Fit is
reported that Senator Jones is
coming to New York this week
for a conference with Senator
German of Maryland. The
Journal says today that within
the last took weeks the leaders
of the Democracy have had the
conclusion forced upon them
that Notwithstanding their be-
lief in the beginning of the
campaign that New York was
a battle-ground, it is here that
a great fight must be made;
with a splendid chance of vic
tory. Even after Mr.. Bryan's
speech in Madison Square Gar
den there was some doubt as
to the strength Of the free sill
yer sentiment in New York
State His advisers almost
persuaded him and his friends
that all their efforts should be
devoted to the Middle West,
the South and the Pacific coast.
New York leaders, however,
assured Mr.. Bryan that he
could carry the State, and they
asserted that his receptions at
the various cities would aston
ish him. Their predictions
were verified to such an
extent, especially in Buff
alo where one-sixth of
the population turned out to
welcome him, that Mr.. Bryan
himself became convinced that
New York could be carried by
the Democracy. He fold this
to his friends, and hence it
has been decided to make a
fight to carry the State.
This is the reason that Sen
ator Jones is to come here to
meet Senator German, who
has promised that, while he
himself will not take a public
part in the campaign here, he
will help the committee all he
can with his advice and coun-
sci.

GOLD APPRECIATION.
Facts md Figures Which are
Convincing.

The Memphis Commercial
Apeaal is indebted to very
able accountant of that city, A.
s. Hull, for the following COM
parative list Of prices of twenty
six commodities in that city in
1879 and in 1895 with the
value of silver in those two
years. The conclusion 10 be
drawn from the comparison
is that a Mexican dollar
THAT is to say silver at its
market value) will today In the
city Of Memphis, Tenn, buy as
much or rather more OF the
articles listed as it would buy
in 1873. If so, silver bullion
has not declined in relation to
commodities but the whole
change is an appreciation OF
gold and the limited silver
coinage and notes held at par
with gold. The observation
should be added that this sp.
probation of gold was not an
inevitable occurrence. 1t was
produced by acts of govern.
ments. We have often said
that the Mexican dollar will
buy as much in Mexico as il
would twenty years ago. In

scented We now add it appears

not go to the Connecticut
National bank and draw out
$50 in gold in exchange for
National bank notes.
They went to the Connect

in bills and asked for gold.
Teller Power said there was
no gold in the bank, although
piles of it lay on the counters
in full view. Ford lost his bet
of 500 and then withdrew his
deposit, which amounted to
several thousand dollars, from
the bank. He has kept his
account in the Connecticut
bank for fourteen years.
