A Chicago officer arrived in this city at
4:30 o'clock this morning and will return
on the early train with William De Long,
arrested in this city Tuesday for the muir
der of the two men committed in Chicago
Saturday. The Chicago police and de-
tectives are still working on the case, and
have not yet come to a satisfactory cOnclu-
sion as TO just where the crime charged
to De Long was committed. They are con-
fident that it was in one of two or three
notorious South Clark-street dives, but are
uncertain which one. They depend upon
De Long to help them unravel the mystery.
De Long still declares that he knows moth
ing about the murder.

Railway construction.

The Railway Age reports that only 622
miles Of track have been laid in the United
States during the first half of 1897. This is
less than the corresponding period of any
year since 1875 with the exception of 1894,
when only 525 miles of track had been laid
up TO July l.
In twenty-six of the States and Terri
tories no track has been laid this year.
Judging from the construction now under
of track laid during the entire year will be
close to two thousand miles-about the
same amount that was laid during each of
Louisiana leads with Ill miles of track laid,
and California is second with ninety-three

WORKS BOARD RESPONSIBLE.
Proceedings for "BeIIe" street Sewer
Dismissed Because of Its ErrOr.

Dismissed because OF It's Error.
On the recommendation of City Attorney
Curtis the proceedings for the construction
of what are known as the "Belle-street''
and "Talbott-avenue" sewers were dis
missed in the Circuit Court yesterday
morning. Mr. Curtis discovered that the
Board of Public Works had made a vital
error in the proceedings taken for the i'm
provement. The sewer was to be con-
structed under a new statute regulating the
construction of sewers running both inside
and out of the city. Under the law it was
necessary for the board to adopt a formal
declaratory resolution. Mr. Curtis discov-
cred that this had not been done when he
went to the boards Office to make up proof
of the proceedings Tuesday afternoon. The
board simply used the old forms on hand,
which related to sewers constructed wholly
within the city. II was not known that this
fact would be brought out by those oppOs-
ing the Improvement at the preliminary
hearing, but the city attorney said that if
it were raised afterward, when it came to
fixing assessments for benefits and DAM
ages, the case might become badly COM
plicated and endanger a contract for the
work No contractor would care about un-
dertakng $3.50 COO job when there was any
question about getting his money.
After the proceedings in the Circuit
Court were dismissed the board reScinded
all proceedings taken for the two sewers.
1t was stated that new resolutions would
be adopted at the boards meeting to-mor-
row
Quite a number OF property owners and
attorneys who were fighting the sewer ap-
peared in court yesterday morning. They
expressed considerable satisfaction ut the
turn events had taken. 1t will be two or
three months before the proceedings can
come up again on account OF necessary
advertisements etc. There is considerable
doubt whether any work can now be cone
on it before next spring.

Not the FauIt of the Company.

The assistant engineer of the Big Four
saws the statement sent from Anderson
that the company was trying TO dodge
taxes at that point is groundless. The
only way that such a thing could occur
as stated would be that city extended it's
corporation limits without notifying a rail-
road company and quite recently, said the
assistant engineer, the Big Four Company
discovered that at one Of its terminals for
several years it had been taxed on two
more miles of track than 1t rightfuly
should have been, and he was confident
that the railways oftener paid on a larger
mileage of track than they had than on too
little mileage. SO far as the Big Four peo-
pie were concerned, he said, they never
dodge lust taxation.

Safety for Excursion Trains.

when William H. Green" said an ex-
superintendent of railways, ''as general
manager of the Baltimore & Ohio lines, on
the occasion of the inauguration Of Presi-
dent Mckinley took the precautionary
measure of placing on each excursion train
two conductors, one to collect the fares
and the other to see that the train was run
safely, some of the railway officials who
claim to be very competent railroad men
We're disposed to be somewhat sarcastic
over the matter and ridiculed the idea Of
going to such extreme measures in moving
an excursion train, but it was the right
thing to do There should be law COM
polling all railroads which run excursion
trains to have on each train two con-
ductors one to look after the fares and
the passengers and the other to look after
train orders and nothing else but his train
Had there been two conductors on the Van
dalia train Tuesday night the accident
would not probably have occurred" The
ACKNOWLEDGMENT mentioned a number of
accidents which were the result of the con-
ductor having to give too much attention to
collecting fares and looking after the pas
