DEATH OF A MTSER.
Familiar Figure in Chicago Whose
Life is Just Revealed.

Chicago Nv. 1O.-Charles Pearcy,
Who for Is years, was a familiar figure
on West Madison street, is dead. He
was old, at least So, when he took his
lodgings in a little room at 224 West
Madison street. He lived the life of a
recluse from the beginning. At times
he did his own cooking; some times he
ate in the cheap restaurants of the
neighborhood. He never did any work.
Neither did he ever seem to be in ac-
tual want. He made no friends. He
bothered no one All he asked was to
be let alone. Yet there were things
about the old man that provoked curl
osity. He gave signs of having seen
better days.
The busy bodies kept up their prying
until they discovered that the old man
had come TO Chicago from Virginia.
Next they learned he had "a brother
somewhere in that state who was a
county clerk or something OF the kind.
Still later it was reported that he had
another brother in New York who was
rich But the old man would not talk
about himself, and would neither af-
firm nor deny these reports.
An investigation of his room after
his death shows that he was wealthy.
The room was shabbily furnished and
Uttered with all sorts of odds and ends.
The chances Of finding anything seemed
slight, but from all sorts of impossible
places government bonds, money in
small amounts, two watches, a memo
randum showing deposits in various
banks to the amount of $1,000, and other
valuables were dragged out. The total
amount Of his wealth u estimated al
between So 600 and $40, 900.

Nothing Remains Now But to Rat
ify the Contract.
THE SHORT LINES OFFER
EMBoDIEs PRACTICALLY ALL
THE CANNON CO. HAS ASKED.
The Whole Project Looked Upon by
Railroad Men as Being as Good as
Settled Bancroft and Eccles
Leave For st. Paul-Local Notes.

The Deep Creek road will be built,
and that, too, without any unnecessary
delay.
This statement has been made good
many times in the past, so many times
in fact, that the pubic has become very
skeptical about the proposition, even
though all know that the project has
taken new life and more definite shape
since the segregation of the Short Line.
Negotiations between the Short Line
and the Cannon company have been
pending for a long time, and when
President Carr was here recently The
matter was given careful consideration
and met with general approval. The
Cannon company, it was understood,
was especially DESTROYS of having a
proposition that will require the
greater part of their contract to be
the furnishing of labor in building the
road, as the promoters were anxious to
give employment to as many people as
possible. Two forms of contracts, or
the outlines of them, as agreed upon
by the Short Line to be submitted to
the Cannon company, have already
been published in The Herald, and now
it is said that a contract which will
give the Cannon people all they ask
for, has been put in definite form by
the Short Line and Will no doubt be
signed up by the other side.
Not to go into details or technicali-
ties, the contract, in a general way
provides that the Short Line will de-
liver the Utah & Nevada to the Cannon
people, and will furnish them with the
necessary rails to extend the Utah &
Nevada to Ophir and build a branch
line from Ironton, on the Salt Lake &
Western branch due west to Deep
Greek, a distance of about 65 miles.
The Short Line will also furnish the
equipment of cars and locomotives.
The rails will be Sc pound rails taken
from the main line of the oregon Short
Line and being replaced by 20 pound
rails. In payment for all of this, the
Short Line will take interest bearing
bonds of the Cannon company. The
/ latter will, under contract, furnish little
but the ties and labor of constructing
| the line.
The negotiations, it will therefore be
seen. have now reached a stage where
the Short Line agrees to just what the
Cannon company desires and there is
little reason to doubt that the whole
proposition will be formally ratified in
very short time.

dustrial school, and was arrested be-
fore she left the. Justices Office where
the ceremony was performed and re-
turned to the school. Mr.. Schoenbaum
has not seen his wife since she was ia
ken from him. The lawyers have been
puzzling their heads over the case, and
have concluded that the industrial
school authorities are right, and that
the girl could not marry without their
consent.
Finding he had no recourse in law
the husband applied to Governor SEQ
field. The governor, after hearing the
appeal, said he would grant the woman
a pardon. Before her release, however

MEANEsT THING YET.
Widow of the Late Senator Kenna to
Be OuSted.

This story comes from the Washing
ton correspondent of the st. Louis Re-
public:
Politics causes politicians to do some
strange things, but one of the meanest
things yet attempted by members of
this administration is the removal of
Mrs. Kenna as postmaster of Charles
ton. Mrs. Kenna is the widow of the
late Senator Kenna of West Virginia.
who, though a young man, was one of
the most brilliant men in the senate,
and had he lived would have been
famous as an orator and a statesman.
He died after serving but a compar-
atively short time, and in the prime
of manhood. His widow was made
postmaster at her home town. and
there are Republicans in the senate
who knew her husband and who hoped
that she would not be disturbed But
the clamor for office from that state
appears to be too great.
Congressman Dorr saw the president,
urged that she be removed and a Re
publican worker be put in her place.
