Tribute to John Fox, Jr.

Mr.. Richard Harding Davis has al

Harper's Magazine on "Our CORES.
pondentS in Cuba" in which he saws
some very complimentary things
about our fellow-townsman, Mr.. John
Fox, Jr. The following extracts are
some of the things he says in his
article:
"Stephen Crane would seem to
have distinctly won the first place
among correspondents in the late
disturbance. John Fox, Sylvesta
Scovel, Caspar Whitney, Howard
Thompson and Mr.. Millard, of the
New York Herald, are close seconds.
Of these gentlemen, Nj. Fox and Mr..
Whitney were hampered by the fact
that they were not writing Tor a daily
paper"
1.-The points of view of these sew
eral correspondents were entirely diff
ferent. Writers like Stephen Crane.
John Fox, Caspar Whitney and
Stephen Bonsal were interested in
what was most dramatic and pictur-
esque."
"Caspar Whitney and John Fox
were distinguished among the most
earnest, honest and brilliant. Ifeach
them had not been we'll known
the war, one as a novelist, the
'ther as an explorer. their conduct
it would have made their
equations"
Among the illustrations in the
is a large and well executed
lcture of Mr.. Fox in Rough Rider ,
ostume. 1t will be remembered by !
nr readers that Mr.. Fox went to
'uba as correspondent for Harper's
and wrote a number of in |
and brilliant letters back to

gentlemen meant a great deal for tn,
early construction Of the road. A
trip will be made over the line by tn,
three New York gentlemen with
Major Aiken's party and just as soon
as some matters with the counties
through which the road is to pass are
arranged the bids will be asked for
and then the contracts can be award
ed. Major Aiken says that he hopes
that actual construction of the road
will begin right away and when it
Toes there is to be no halt for any
thing. The contractors who secured
the contracts are to be men who will
push the work without delay. AS to
the surveys they have all been made
and the route to be adopted is known.
The line of survey runs to a point
near this city, but just where it will
enter the city has been kept a pro-
found secret and will not be given

county courts for redress in the mat.

1t will be remembered that the State
Supreme Court decided some months

and this action on the part Of the
merchants is to secure redress for the
amount paid, contrary to this decision,
