Tells a Laredo Paper About Cam

Need of a Railroad.
laredo Times.

Laredo Times
A short conversation this morn
ing with Mr. Celestin Jagou, one OF
the. weaithiest and most prominent
citizens of Brownsville, very forci-
bly, emphasizes the necessity for
railroad communication in the low
er Rio Grande country. In the first
place it took eight days for Mr.. ia
gou 10 get to LAREDO by railroad and
stage, on account of delays from
high wafer and bad roads. The
greatest abundance Of everything in
the way of crops has been raised in
that very rich country this year, but
they had no market for their perish
able stuff. Tomatoes went abegging
at ten cents bucketful and every
thing of the kind cheap in proper
ton. Mr.. Jagou and others have
been qnite successful this year in
raising sea island cotton, which
commands about three times the
price of the ordinary cotton, on ac-
count Of the extra length and fine
ness of staple, but they had to ship
all their cotton by beat in the seed,
because of there being no gin IN
that section: However, they viii
have gin by next season and it is
expected that cotton viii soon be-
come a great crop in all of the lower
Rio Grande country. Mr.. Jagou re-
marked that he had experienced
muck trouble this year in securing
hands to pick his cotton; that where
as about enc hundred and fifty
hands were needed to pick his crop,
he could only secure about fifty
hands. SIr. Jagou is greatly in IA
vor Of railroad from Laredo along
the river yalieyfo Brownsville and
declares that with such road the
whole valley between the two cities
would soon become veritable gar
den, yielding immense products of
the soil and paying the railroad
handsomely from the beginning, as
there is no richer and more produc-
tive soil in the known world.

successfully assailing the tissues of the
living body; that they are the results
and not the cause of disease; that they
are not in the least inimical to the life
or health of the body; that, on the con-
trary, it is their peculiar function to res
cue the living organism, whether of man

bringing about the decomposition of

it to bepassed out by the bloood."

KIDNAPPERS CAUGHT.
Nefarious Scheme FrustratCd--Ean-
som or Murder the Object.

ALBANY, n. Y, Alg. 2i-On Aug. 1G five
year-old John Conwa' disappeared from his
home. Shortly his people We're notified that he
would be held for ransom and if the latter
was not furnished the boy would be killed.
Suspicion fell on the boys uncle. Joseph
Hardy and II. G.. Blake. Both were arrested
and Blake finally agreed to get the boy for
large sum which was promised him. He
kept his part Of the agreement ami produced
the boy, who had been hidden in the country
but stuffed pockctbook was given him.
When he saw that he had been trapped he
pulled a revolver and firing four shots es-
capped from his captorS. The county was
aroused and on Aug. 20 he was recaptured
in Schenectady. Developments had showed
that Blake was at the head Of II New York
syndicate which had been formed to kid
nap children and to hold them for a ransom
and kill them if the ransom was not forth
coming. partly for safety and partly for the
moral effect in eXtorting future ransoms
For this reason the county was aroused and
it looked for a little time rs though Blake
would be lynched. Mayor Thatcher
of Schenectady really saved the mans
life and the credit of the city at the point of
the pistol The syndicate was composed Of
New York crooks without money or con-
science and includes New York lawyer
The community is breathing freer now that
the plans OF these horrible conspirators
have been so quickly frustrated
