WADE HAMpToN's LAST REPORT.
Low Water Mark of Railway Build
Ing Reached Last Year.

Washington Nov. 10-Before Gen.
Wade Hampton retired from the Office
OF Commissioner of Railroads he filed
with Secretary Bliss his annual report
Tor the year ended on Sept. 30 which
has Just been made public. He notes
that the long period of depression in
railroad business reached it's lowest
point in 1896, when the falling off in
passenger traffic and Generalization
In freight rates, together with the de-
crease In volume of business, most se-
riously affected the earnings.
The low water mark" the Commits
sioner continues, was reached In rail-
way construction, and during the year
thirty-four roads, with 5,441 miles of
road, passed into the hands Of the
courts, and fifty-eight others, which
had been previously placed In receiv-
ers' hands, were sold at foreclosure"
Regarding the settlement of the Union
Pacific debt, Gen. Hampton says:
Il have, in each one of my previous
reports, recommended the adjustment
of the indebtedness of the Pacific rail-
roads to the Government through the
medium of a commission to be APP
pointed by the President, and 1t has al
ways seemed to me that a settlement
more advantageous to the Government
could be obtained IL all the compan-
les particularly the Union and Cen
trail Pacific, could be negotiated with
at the same time, and possibly in the
same way. than could be accomplished
by settling with them at different
times and on a different basis. / am
not disposed, however, to question the
wisdom of the course pursued by the
Department of Justice in the case OF
the Union Pacific Railway. and viewed
from financial standpoint. 1t would
seem to be about the best thing for the
Government to do under the circum'
stances. The main objections which
have been urged against this method
| of settlement have come from strong
advocates of Government ownership
or of operation under Government SUI
pervision. / have always regarded
this as not only a doubtful, but dan
gerous experiment. which would In
volve the Government in enormous ex
pense and would in all probability re-
suit disastrously."

MRS. MACK CONFESSES
SHE APPEARS AS A WITNESS AGAINST
THORN.

German Midwife weakons After First
Days Testimony-omcials Are sccre-
tive but the Story of tho Guldcnsuppe
Murder Is Known.
Mrs Mack yesterday went upon the
stand and turned States evidence
against Martin Thorn with whom she
was jointly indicted for the killing of
William Guldensuppe. The story of
the confession is told in New York
dispatch as follows:
1t is said that Emanuel Friend. the
counsel for Augusta Mack, who is in
die d with Martin Thorn for the mur-
der OF William Guldensuppe In cot
tage at Woodside, l.. l., telephoned to
the Sun office last night that Mrs Mack
had made confession, and that she
would appear as a witness for the
State on Thorn's trial.
Mr.. Friend was retained by one of
the city papers to defend Mrs Mack.
Mr.. Friend. at the same hour, be-
tween 8 and 10 o'clock at night, sent
word by telephone to the same effect
to District Attorney Youngs. to Will
! lam f. Howe. counsel for Thorn, and
I to various other persons. lie asked
District Attorney Youngs to meet him
early this morning at the Long Island
! City Court House and said that he
would then furnish Mr. Youngs with
full particulars.
William L. Howe was awakened in
his room at the Park Avenue Hotel
about $50 by bellboy, who handed
him card, upon which was written:
wv. f. Howe-Mrs. Mack has con-
fessed and will be the first witness for
the state in the morning.
'E. NJ. FRIEND"
Mr.. Howe did not appear perturbed.
| and made n statement of what effect
Mrs. Nack's confession would have on
Thorn's chances of acquittal
AT first / was astonshed," he said,
but two minutes reflection dismissed
my doubt and perturbation. I came to
the conclusion that If Lady Macbeth
killed Duncan she had perfect right
to say so, but she lied about when she
said her husband committed the crime.
Il knew, and Nanny Friend knew,
that | had as perfect a case as could
be built. l am utterly at loss to under
stand how any lawyer could sanction
his client making a confession when
| there was such an utter absence of
proof against her. Assuming her story
is true, which deny as far as it may
implicate Thorn, there would be no
| evidence to prove that she was more
than an accessory.

IN LEAGUE WITH SATAN.
A Murderer Makes This Astonishing
Plea for Defense.

Dove, N. H.. Nov. 1O.-His compact
with Satan was witnessed by clergy
man, Joseph Il. Kelly said yesterday.
when his trial for the murder of CASH
Ter Joseph A. Stickney, of the Great
Falls National Bank, in Somersworth,
began before the Supreme Court.
This astonishing statement, upon
which the defense will base plea of
insanity, was made to the prisoner S
counsel, James Ryan, Jr., of this place.
Ever since l was IL years old" he
has said, Satan has been my constant
companion. And the agreement with
him will not run out until January l5.
1899 l will be 25 years old then. My
first act under the agreement was to
steal watch. and I was impelled to
deeds worse and worse until l killed
the old man in the doorway of his bank
and took all the money in sight"
Many insanity experts have been re-
tanned by the defense, and doctor
who treated Kelly for some injury to
the head years ago has been subpoe-
naed as a witness.
