PLAGUE PATIENTS DOING WELL
ALL DANGER OF A SPREAD AT
NEW YORK IS OVER.
Infected Steamer Being Thoroughly
Fumigated and Steps Will Be
Taken to Kill ALI Rats Aboard.

New York, Nov 20.-The patients re-
moved from the steamer j. w. Taylor,
suffering from bubonic plague are recov
ering DIR. Hommideiu said today, after d
visit to the PATIENTS
The patients are doing as well as can
be expected, and i have every reason to
believe that all danger of infection from
those patients is past. L say this because
the cultures made by DR.. Fitzpatrick
show negative result No trace of the
germ of bubOnic plague was found This
indicated that the disease had run its
course and that the germs do not exist
in the patients.
The holds of the steamer have been
subjected to the fumes of sulphur almost
continuously since arrival Each hatch
way has a sheet OF shaft TO the bottom of
the hold for ventilation. II is expected
the sulphur fumes will penetrate through
these Ventilators and kill all the rats that
may be in the hold
The discharge of the cargo has been de-
layed owing to the inability of the agents
of the steamer to make the arrangements
required by the quarantine officials.
When the cargo is discharged the holds
will be cleaned and washed down by a So
luton of bichioride of mercury. Then an
other sulphur fumigation will be given to
kill the rats that may remain. Steam will
also be used as final remedy. The crew
will be subjected to a detention of fifteen
DAYS for observation TO comply with the
rules formulated by the federal quaran-
tine authorities

Short Line Spending Big Lot of
Money.
GOES FOR NEW EQUIPMENT
MILLION DOLLARS EXPENDED
IN 1899.
Disbursement of As Great Or Even
a Greater Sum Is Contemplated
For 19OO-Bulk of It Will Be Put
Into New Freight Cars, of Which
the Road Now Stands In Need.

During the present year the man
agement of the Oregon Short Line has
expended nearly one million of dollars
in new equipment for the line. and if
present plans are not interfered with.
a sum equal. if not greater will be
expended in 1900. the bulk of which will
be put into new freight cars. The ex-
penditures of this year cover the pur-
chase of one engine of the regular con-
solidation type, sixteen mammoth ten
wheelers and eight twelve-wheel con-
solicitations
In passenger equipment there have
been two dining cars, three buffet cars,
eight chair cars and three day coaches
added. while the freight equipment has
been augmented by $50 new box cars
of $4,000 pounds capacity each, 800 steel
coal cars of fifty tons capacity and
having bottom dumps, and 100 Rodger
ballast cars of $4,000 pounds capacity.
which in summer are used for ballast
ing the road bed. and in winter are
pressed into the coal trade. These lat
ter also have bottom dumps. In addi-
ton to the above a modern piledriver,
one of the largest steam shovels ever
built and a steam wrecking crane have
been added to the roadway tools.
The new equipment to be purchased
several hundred modern stock
cars, both single and double decks. and
at least 1000 coal cars of $4,000 or $4,000
pounds capacity. The exact pattern of
these latter has not yet been decided
upon, but as they will be destined
mainly for the coal trade between the
Kemmerer coal mines and the Sound
to be loaded on return with
lumber the sentiment appears to be in
favor of a car not less than forty feet
in length. The passenger equipment of
the Short Line at present is equal to
that of any of the great trans-conti-
mental lines, and by the close of the
year 1900 its freight equipment will be
second to nome
In addition to the new engines emu
the first of the year will bring
four new mastodons of proportions
larger than any engines ever seen in
the west.

from Fort Douglas will meet on Walker 5
field at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon to play
Inc deciding game in the series of three
that We're arranged by the two teams in
the early part of the season. In the hrst
game that they played the soldiers were
victorious by score of y 10 g. When
they lined up the second time the students
retaliateds winning. by a score of Il 10 II,
the kicking of goal on their part win
ming the game. The game today promises
70 be a spirited contest for supremacy. In
the last practices that the college boys
have held they have developed astonish-
ing strength and have a few surprises up
their sleeves. Tie fact that they have
kept quiet about their work has led some
TO believe that they are asleep. but a
glimpse at one of their practices would
quickly dispeH that idea. They are not
even nodding and viii today give evidence
of the good work that they have accom-
plished. M
The soldiers. on the other hand have
been working hard since they were van
pushed by the varsity and will be in
good condition in the game today Their
main effort has been to develop team
work and interference. The management
assures those who attend that the game
will start promptly and that the grounds
will be kept clear in a way that only the
soldiers know.

R. G. w. MENACED.
U. P. May Build Into Town of
Vernal.

State Coal Mine Inspector Conner
Thomas is authority for the statement
that the Rio Grande Western railway
will have to move lively or it will lose
all the business iof shipping sheep and
ores from the Ashley valley region. AS
matters stand at present, the Western
has the exclusive privilege CO carrying
all freight of whatever nature that is
sent out from Vernal and its con-
tiguous territory. The Union Pacific
has watched the traffic grow to gener-
Gus proportions with jealous eyes, and
now it is after it good and strong.
In conjunction with the merchants of
Rock Springs they recently sent an
emissary named Lloyd Thomas to con-
fer with the residents and business
men of Vernal about subscribing to-
wards the construction of a road from
the latter town to Browns Hole. The
Union Pacific and Rock Springs people
agreed to build il from their town to
Browns Hole provided the Vernal peo-
pie would in turn agree to build their
end of it.
The outcome of the proposition is
that all the money necessary to build
the road from Vernal to Browns Hole
has been subscribed in the past week.
and the projected road will be pushed
through with all possible speed before
the cold weather sets in. The compile
ton means that the Rio Grande West
ern interests at Price viii be menaced.
and the merchants of Vernal and vicin-
ity will be able to send their stuff out
by way of Rock Springs and the Union
Pacific.
Mr.. Thomas has Just returned from
inspecting the small coal mines in that
part of the country. and reports that
there are forty of them going full blast
and ready to ship all their products not
used for home consumption to distant
portions of the state. The gilsonite
mines are also doing a big business.
