This season the changes in fashion are

made of a length of net half a yard wide,

The Fitchburg InVestign ton.

The special investigation OF the accounts
of the Fitchburg Railroad for the period
covering the presidency of the late Mr.
Marcy is practically ended and was pre-
scented to the directors yesterday. After
the death of Auditor Anthony package
of papers was found in his desk at home in
Waltham which are now supposed to be
of considerable Importance. In speaking
of the sudden death of President Marcy
and of Auditor Anthony, a Boston eX-
change says of the suspected defalcation
that there was little ground for so much
publicity and the conclusions reached. The
amount of the alleged shortage is said to
be $4,000, which, the reporters say, will
be q dead loss to the company, but losses
OF that degree of magnitude are familiar
matters in railroad otnces, and it does not
seem reasonable to think that anxiety on
a stroke of apopeXy. The whole story of
publication, several weeks ago. seems to
be based largely on the statements of out
side guessers. Much is made of the al
legged wrongful handling of money by the
lately deceased auditor, but auditors, as
general thing. do not handle money. How
can such an officer steal the company $
funds? The investigation has shown that
A. S. Crane. general freight agent of the
road. and formerly general freight agent
OF the Chicago * Atlantic, is not inVov ed
in the alleged crookedness, the experts haV-
ing fully eXonerated him, not a shadow
of suspicion resting on his department.

G. 5. Mckee, master mechanic of the St
Louis division Of the Big Four, has been
offered and accepted the position of master
mechanic of the Wabash lines west of the
Mississippi, with headquarters at Moberly
Mo. 1t is claimed by one of the general
officers of the Big Four that Mr.. Mckee
was one Of the most efficient master me-
chanics on the system, and that the per-
Torrance Of locomotives and cars on his
division were amongst those at the top of
the list every month. Mr.. McKee's success
during his career on the Big Four has
been largely due to the organization of his
subordinates, even disposition and fair
treatment to all. Mr.. Mckee came to the
Big -Four during the period that Joseph
Ramsey was general manager and now he
secures his services for the Wabash, of
which he is vice president and general
manager Mr.. Mckee is well known
throughout the country from the fact that
he had charge of the Strong locomotive,
which for several months attracted much
attention because of it's singular build and
what was claimed for it. Mr. McKee's
place at Nation will be filled by f. J.
Zerbee, who has made such an excellent
record on the Big Four as master me-
chanic of the shops at Wabash. Mr.. Zerbee

PLEAS FOR LOWER TAXES
RAILROADS RAISED BY THE STATE
BOARD ENTER OBJECTIONS.
Kentucky Colonel of the Old School
Came to BE Greatly Increased.

Such railroads as thought they.were given
the worst of 1t in the assessments fixed
by the State Tax Board during its first
session this year, appeared before the
board Yesterday by attorneys to beg for a
lower valuation. f, d. Raymond repre-
senting the Elgin, Joliet q Eastern, which
had been raised from $4,000 to $4,000 a
mile, entered a serious objection to the
change. He was proceeding on the theory
that the board had found it necessary to
lower some other roads and had raised his
to make up some for the deficit The Bedford
belt, which had been raised from 81, to
$4,000 a MILE was represented by f. M.
Crssal, of Chicago. He said that the
owners of the road had been astounded by
the increase, and he maintained that it
was entirely out of proportion to the real
value of the property. The Chicago &
Calumet Terminal was represented by II.
Il. Wheeler, of Chicago. 1t had also been
heavily increased, and Mr.. Wheeler main
tanned that the increase had been made on
q mistaken theory. The last speech of the
morning was made by Attorney Bennett II.
Young, of Louisville, who is one of the
finest types of the real Kentucky colonel
that has been seen in these parts for some
time. He made an earnest and effective
plea before the board
In the afternoon w. L. Taylor and Aud
itor Mcguire, of the Louisville, Evansville
d St. Louis, made another plea for a re-
duction Of the assessment OF this road.
On the first hearing desperate plea Of
poverty of the road was made by MIR. Tay-
Tor, but only one of it's branches was re-
duced. This time the officials submitted to
the board the annual report of the COM
pany submitted to the United States
Court few days ago in support of their
assertion that the valuation was too high
MIR. Wells, OF New Albany, made the plea
for the New Albany belt which has now
become a part of the L., t. 81 st. l.. sys-
tenn.
A peculiar mistake was developed in the
case of the Elkhart q Western a short
road built from Elkhart to Mishawaka for
the purpose of promoting the manufactur-
ing interests of the st. Joe valley. Will
lam ii. State, of Elkhart made very elo-
Quent plea before the board. His eloquence
did not have much effect, but his figures
did, The company buys a great deal of
coal, which it sells TO the factories along
its line. The auditor had made the mis-
take OF charging all these sales of coal in
as part of the receipts of the road, and
when these were taken out its gross re-
eeipts We're shown to be SIS. 600 instead of
$4,000. On the return made by the auditor
the board had raised the assessment from
$1,000 mile 10 eco 0OG

delegates, besides being represented by the

THE PERILS OF ALASKA
THOMAS c. DARNELL WRITES OF
THE HARDsHIPs OF THE JOURNEY.
He Was Formerly Resident of In.
MISUNDERSTANDING "a New Trail
to Reach the KIOndiIxe.

Calvin f. Darnell has received an inter-
esting letter from Thomas C. Darnen who
is headed for the Klondike gold fields Mr..
Darnelfs brother formerly lived in this
city. For some years he was in the fra
service He left indianapolis eight years
ago and has since resided in Seattle, Wash.
When the first reports from the new Ell
dorado reached this country Thomas c.
Darnell and nine other men formed pros
pecting company. They are bound by a
compact to stick together until they have
made ten strike" July % they left Seat
tie. The letter Mr.. Darnell received was
written in Alaska July 81 and was sixteen
days reaching Indianapolis. His brother
wrote that the party was in a camp of three
hundred men who are trying to cut new
trail to the river in order to catch the last
boat up to the gold fields. AT the time the
letter was written the weather was warm
and pleasant. 1t contains many interesting
observations on conditions in that land of
snow and ice. Provisions are very high;
eggs are worth 81 dozen, and twenty-five
pounds of evaporated potatoes cost So.
Bacon is the cheapest thing in sight and
can be bought for rs cents a pound. Indians
charge 20 cents a load of one hundred
pounds for carrying stuff from the boats.
Mr.. Darnel writes that many of the ten
derfeet" have already become discouraged
and are coming back. At one place he saw
man riding bicycle. His wife was with
him leading COW, whose back two
children were riding. He tells of the diff
Guilty they had in landing. They finally
found a spot where they could get within
half mile of shore. Provisions for the
three hundred men were put in boats and
pushed through the marshes to the shore.
The cargo weighed two hundred tons. 1t
was stored away on great ricks above high
water. Mr.. Darnell writes that if he had
taken a cargo of horses to Alaska he could
have made a fortune. They can be bought
for $40 head in Seattle. Adding $40 more
for transportation they would cost $40 each
landed in Alaska, where they go like hot
cakes at 800 a head Mr. Darnell and the
party he accompanies each took one thou
sand pounds of provisions. They paid $500
for their ticket Mr. Darnell had $500 in
money. Most of the others had more than
that Efforts are being made. he writes,
to establish a dog train to carry the mail.
At the time the letter was written the party
had already crossed one mountain 1900 feet
high. The perils before them were de-
scribed as something awful to contemplate.
Mr. Darnell. however. declares that he win
not turn back. His brother is anxiously
awaiting more information.
