so successfully made by the Ameri- can colonies, and at the same time contains all the romantic happenings and incidents that constitute the mak- ing of a successful novel. The remark able fight between the Randolph and the Yarmouth, two ships celebrated in the history of that day, is made to appear one of the most heroic battles ever witnessed on the seas and is graphically described. The character of Washington is better portrayed in this work than in any history or TO- nance hitherto published, and other revolutionary heroes are also given due prominence. MT. Townsend's work is full of fire and spirit, abounding in incident and marked by good charac- ter drawing.
 T. Gallon, the author of "Tatterly,'' 9 has given the public another excellent novel entitled "A Prince of Mischance" " It is an entertaining, wholesome and pleasing piece of work. The author displays an originality that is credit able in itself, and his story holds the readers intrest from first to last "A Prince of Mischance" is published by D. Appleton & Co.,. New York An other addition to Appleton's Town ano Country Library is "A Passionate Pill grim,'' by Percy White, a book that will appeal to many tastes. It is bril- liant in thought and treatment, and the story is told with an intellectually and art that are rare in contemporary fiction.
 Young Blood" is the title of a nov el by B. w. Hornung which has just been issued from the press of Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. It tells of the struggles of young English man who was left without money and with a dishonored name at the age of 21, and who succeeded in overcoming the disgrace and regaining his fathers s lost fortune. The story of the hero's buffets with fortune is well developed and in some instances reminds one of Dickens delineation of David Cop perfield.
 The current issue of "Tales from Town Topics," (New York;, contains a novelette, by A. S. Van Westrun en- titled "Margaret's Misadventure' It is intended as a satirical description of an attempt to get into society. A number of sharply drawn character sketches from society add to the in- terest of the plot.

What effect this will have on the present situationsit is impossible to determine, but it is said on the best authority that he American is reaching out. Whether it will suc- ceed in securing a franchise on tthe Union Pacific will be known within a month or two.
 RUMOR OF CONSOLIDATION.
 Omaha, Neb, March 1S,-The first step to the consolidation of the Amer ican and Pacific Express companies has been taken. J. A. Brewster of New York city, late head clerk in the ac- counting department of the American company, has taken charge of the auditing department of the Pacific President Morseman of the Pacific and President Burt of the Union Pacific have gone to New York to confer with the high officials in regard to bring ing about still closer relations between the companies.
 Should the rumor of the proposed consolidation of the American and the Pacific Express companies prove to be correct, the American would operate on all Utah roads save the Rio Grande Western. It would take in the Navi- gation cOmpany's lines also, as we'll as several of the larger systems of the west, including the Missouri Pacific and other Gould lines.

RUMOR OF MORE CHANGE.
American Express Said to Be Reach
 ing Westward.

Salt lake, March 1S.-When the Union Pacific receivership came to an end few weeks ago all contracts made by the receivers also terminated This fact is given as explanation by some who state that it is the condi- tion that permits the Wagner com pany to supplant the Pullman, even though the Pullman contract with the receivers does not expire for a year and a half yet.
 If such is the legal status of affairs, some more interesting developments may arise. The Pacific express op- crates over the Union Pacific, but the Morgan-Vanderbilt lines, especially the Northwestern, operates the American express, which is out of the big cor pOrations of the east
 It has been cited by local officials that the recent breezy directors meet ing in the Pacific express in Omaha had some bearing on the same subject

Winona, Minn., March 18.-The eighty-six foot steel span being placed at this end of the Chicago & North western railroad drawbridge across the Mississippi river here fell this noon with six men on it, a distance of twenty-five feet. The span had been moved two feet out to let train pass, and while in this position the timber cribbing supporting it col lapsed. All six men were badly shaken up and bruised and it is little short of miraculous that none were killed. James L.

The Five Battleships Progressing Sat
 isfactorily.

Washington, March 18-The pro- gross made upon ships of all classes building for the navy is accurately pre- sented in a report made by Chief Con- structor Hichborn. The battleships Kearsarge and Kentucky, which are to be launched on March "A, are 56 per cent completed, and the Illinois, build ing at the same yard, and contracted for one year later, is 43 per cent fin ished. The Alabama, sister vessel under way at Cramps, has made the same progress, and at San Francisco the Wisconsin, prototype, is 35 per cent completed. Only one cruiser is N J., and she Is. within per cent of completion. This vessel will be de- livered in one month, and when com missioned there will be nc other un- protected cruisers building for the navy.
 Of the torpedo boat class the Rod gers at Baltimore, is 9z per cent com pleted; the Rowan, building at Seattle, is 91 per cent completed, and the Dahl gren, under way at Bath, 37 per cent. The Craven, a 3G-knot boat and a sister to the Dahlgren, building at Bath, is nearly half completed, but neither of these boats will be in service under three months. The Farragut, Davis and Fox are between 60 and 70 per cent completed; the Norris and Mac kenzie gre little further advanced, and the Mckee, Stringham, Goldsborough and Bailey have been just little more than started. The submarine boat Plunger is but 65 per cent finished and is two years overdue. This list com prises every boat building for the navy At the present rate all will be in com- mission within sixteen months

brought against the company, also
against n. c. Shekels, J. M. Taylor and

The complaint alleges that Shekels

TAYLoRE-sTARBUCK RACE.
The Frenchman Meets With an Ac-
cident, Forcing Him to Retire.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. IS - The
twenty mile paced race between Edou-
ard Taylore, the French middle-dis-
lance champion, and j. Frank Starbuck
of this city, at Saenger Hall tonight,
was spoiled by an unfortunate accident
to Taylore The accident occurred in
the sixth mile, Taylore at that time
having gained a lead Of a lap, equal to
one-tenth of a mile On the next lap
the tandem team took him a terrific
clip.
AS the foreigner turned into the
homestreteh the spill took place Tay-
lores wheel dashed up the incline, and
the machine and rider brought up
against a post, the wheel being smashed
completely and Taylore rebounding and
falling on the track. He managed to
get out of the road just as Starbuck
and his PAGERS came tearing around the
turn.
Taylore was not seriously injured. His
right shoulder was dislocated, and his
left knee wrenched.
While the race lasted Taylore i'm
pressed the 5000 spectators with his
ability, many comparing him with Mi
chael. Starbuck, too, rode in splendid
form, as his time of 10:2S1la for five
miles shows.
After the accident Starbuck reeled off
mile after mile at a steady clip, mere
ly covering the twenty miles necessary
to secure first money.
The one-naile international pursuit
tandem race was won by Lamberjack
and Gougoltz, the French team, in
2.O3 4-5.

JOSEPH RAEsIDE's DEATH.
Oakland Police Believe It q Case
of Murder and Robbery.

OAKLAND, Jan. 15.-The local au-
thorities are closely investigating the
death of Joseph Raeside the trainer
whose mangled corpse was, found
alongside the railroad track at Shell
Mound yesterday, there being a strong
suspicion that he was murdered, and
his body placed upon the track for the
purpose Of destroying all traces Of the
crime.
1t is known that on Thursday last
Raeside won $500 on Ricardo, and that
he cashed his tickets before going to
supper, as he mentioned his good luck
to several of his associates, and gave
some Of his winnings to a boy who
had been riding for him. After supper
he left his boarding house, and nothing
more was seen of him until his mangled
corpse was discovered next morning,
when only few pieces of silver were
found in his pockets.
1t is the theory of the police that
Raeside was killed and robbed by race
track touts who knew Of his winnings.
