Eddy Says There VIII Likely Be

The new extension Of the Fl Paso

miles in length aud work will be push
ed rapidly until it Is complete. As
soon as construction work is begun,
development work viii commence at
the coal mines, which promise to sup
ply FL Paso with an unlimited amount
of cheap full.
In regard to the new extension from
Alan Dgordo J. a. Eddy, general man.
aper Of the railway company and q
h. avy stock b older in half dozen other
enterprises which are developing in
connection Wi h the ra 'lroad, said:
the surveying party which started
out this morning from AlamOgOrdO
contemplstes stalking out the line SO
tnat it will pass re ~ La Luz and the
rail way will 70 low that route If 1t is
not disadvan tageous to build IL in that
direction, nor 100 expensive.
"If that route is not Sc ected we will
keep 20 the lowlands adjacent to Nal
pals. We have eighty miles OF track
to build and wi push tAe construction
rapidly when it is once started.
Development work on the mines
will begin as soon as work on the eX-
tension is commenced.
SIS there enough coal in the Sslado
mircs TO supply all fuel consumed in
Ell Pa-o?" was asked.
Manager Eddy smiled blandly at the
question.
IF there was not enough coal for
| this market" said he, ''auu for ship
ment to other points it would herdly
pay us to build eighty miles of track
n order TO reach the mines. The
| supply is unliu tied and fuel will be
| plentiful as soon as the road is COM
| plete aud the mines are operated"
But how about the price? Do you in
tend to combine with your compeii'
| tors and keep the price uD or will you
| enter with them into a com bi nation by
which prices will droD and Ell Paso be
accordingly bene6red?"
| The truth is" said Mr.. Eddy, "we
expect to dispose of our coal to the bes,
advantage, II we can sell more coal
and thereby make the most money we
| pays us better to limit the supply apo
get more money for less coal we will
do that.
"Flesh and blood, you know, Is about
| the same the world over and we expect
to lcok out for the profits. We may
possibly combine with competitors tC
keep the price up buG do not believe
there will be any com bination. l be
lieve there will be more money in sell
ing more coal and putting the entire
output OF our mines on the market at 6
far lower price than fuel now com
mands."

CoIored Postmaster and His child
Murdered nt Lake Gay, =. q.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. GA special from
Columbia, S. c., to the Constitution
says: The most revolving crime ever
perpetrated by white men in South
Carolina was committed at Lake City,
Williamsburg county, at one o'clock
Tuesday morning when Postmaster
Baker, a negro, and his family were
burned out OF their home, the postmas-
ter and babe in arms killed, his wife
and three daughters shot and manned
for life. Baker was appointed post
master three months ago. Lake City
is town of 500 inhabitants and the ne
gro population in the vicinity is large.
There was "A protest at Bakers appoint
ment but il was not very vigorous
one. Three months ago as the post
master was leaving the Office at night in
company with several coiored men he
was fired on from ambush, but il was
not known that the would-bc assassin
was prompted by other than personal
malice. Since that Baker moved his
family into house on the outskirts Of
the town, where he also established the
post Office.
Last Tuesday night n body of men
who kept concealed behind buildings
and fences in the neighborhood riddled
the building with shot and rifle bullets.
They shot high and no one was hurt.
but il was supposed 20 convey warn
ing. II was n short time before that
Senators Tillman and McLaurin and
Congressman Horton had asked the
postmastcr-gcncral TO remove Baker
because Of his color and the request
had been refused. Baker did not move
his family and gave no evidence of be-
ing frightened. He felt confident of
protection from Washington,

ances at the department would indi-
cate that any necessary orders already
have been given, and that the situation
is not one calling for immediate actiy-

orders for troops at all forts TO be on

have had TO work in complete dark
ness, and several have had bad falls.
Electric lights from the Mangrove are
now available and much good is ex-
pected from them. Nearly all the pos
sible salvage has now been made from
the cabin aft. The efforts TO reach the
ward and messrooms are frustrated by
some unknown obstacle. II is expected
10 find bodies in those rooms. Two
cases OF ten-inch ammunition have been
found, the one having exploded. the
other full of powder. These were found
forward The work of securing the
bodies under the hatch has been most
difficult in the dark. but il is hoped
that the electric lights will be Of great
assistance. The bodies are much mu-
tilated and some are partially burned.

divers, will devote special attention to
examining the ammunition IN the fore
part OF the Names hull and TO ascer-
