THE PORT ARTHUR ROUTE.
The Picnyune Claims II Is Coming
to New Orleans.

ihc ficnyuhe Claims II Is Coming
to New Orleans.
The New Orleans newspapers are figur-
Ing on having another road into that CITY.
aud are now claiming that the Pee Gee is
casting about for way 10 enter New Or
leans. The Picayune has the following:
From time to time thero have been
stories current that the Kansas City. l!;ts-
burg and Cult road was negotiating FOR
right OF way into this city. In conaec-
ton with these reports II has BEEN cur
rentlg stated that overtures had been made
with the proprietors OF tie >-w ore MS
and Western road for The right Of way
owned by that line into New Orleans.
These reports have elected much Interest
among railroad people as there are rea-
sons for believing that there IS more than
one would imagine in The efforts the
Jittsburg people are making to get into
New Orleans. The road, as II now runs
really has no deep water harooc. 4 g'eat
stir has been made egiriing the deep
water at Port Arthur. but the officials oil
the Pittsburg road do not attach great
deal of importance to Port Arthur Ter the
reason that there IS 10 city there, from
which the road could hope TO receive pa
tonage. nor is ,here mach pr: speot OF
the place ever building VI sufficiently TO
attract the ocean navigation o. the world.
Mr.. Martin. the eX-presilent OF the Pits
burg road. has been quoted as saying that
his line would much prefer coming into
New Orleans.
Apropos OF these reports story was
current in railroad circles yesterday which
VIII doubtless prove OF interest. 1t was
stated upon the authority of a gentleman
VINO is in Il position to know whereof he
speaks that the Port Chalme,!e people
We're on the eve of selling The road to the
Pttsburg and Gulf. II was stated that the
purchase Of the Spanish ioru rad was
made at the lnstigatiou OF the llIshurg
people the understanding h4us that II
the deal Tor the Spanish Fort road could
be made. the entire Port Cnalmotte ter
minal would then pass into the hards Of
the Pittsburg and Gulf folks.
This report was not brought TO the at
tention of any of the officials OF tie Fort
Chalrnette road. but on &c ount OF the
sources from which it comes. there IS mere
than passing credence To be placed III II.
If the Kansas city, Pittsbnrg and Gulf
road comes into New Orleans another great
trunk line will have been added 10 the
list.
The right OF way owned oy tive New Or
leans and Western crosses the Kansas City.
pittsburg aud Gulf road at n most CON
yenient point and on that account tie
franchise would be worth Il rrra- doai 10
the Pittsburg road. as 1t would ptI Only
give the road a direct entrance il to the
city but would place II in possession of
the best terminal facilities in me South.
It is said that the pittsburg and Gulf
road has been built for over $l,G60 COO
less than was calculated up1n ny the pro-
motors OF the enterprise, md thar they
therefore have some money left with
which to buy out Port Chalmete.

registered. The current was reduced
to 250, and after 80 seconds second
contact was given. just then the death
mask slipped from Scott's face. The
Glergymen and doctors instinctiyely
shraDk back from the look in the eyes
that stared at them.
The crime for which Scott was exc.
cuted was committed 10 New York City
on October Goth. 1896. Scott was
separated from his wife, and the latter
earned livelihood by working in a
laundry. His jealousy had caused the
separation.
About noon ON the day of the murder
Mrs. Scott appeared at the Jefferson
Market Court, in New York City, and
said she either wanted to secure
divorce from her husband or a separa
tion, as he had treated her cruelty and
had failed to provide for her. A sum-
mons was given her to serve on her
husband should he appear. Mrs. Scott
then went to her home. Shortly after
wards her sister. Mrs. Annie White,
called on her. She found Mrs. Scott
lying on the floor, with bullet hole
in her left breast. Scott was at once
suspected. An effort was made to get
statement from Mrs. Scott, but she
was too far gone to talk, and died soon
after being found. Scott, at funeral
OF relative, few weeks before, had
remarked: "There will be another
funeral soon." This and other evidence
was brought against him, and at his
trial he was convicted. His case was
carried to the court of appeals. which
last week decided against Scott.
