Appeared in City Hall Park, but Got Away
Before He Could Put Salt on It's Tail.
An enterprising individual. full of scientific in

The BUN Office yesterday afternoon with some

THE rRANs-ANDINE RAILROAD.
1t Is Not Yet Completed, Though Shown
Without q Break on Some Mapg.

Some recent works Of reference speak OF the
trans-SouthA American Railroad from Buenos
Ayrcs to Valparaiso as though 1t were now in
full operation; and on at least three German
maps Of 1898, supposed to be authoritative the
road is shown without a break.
The fact is. however. that this important adj
dition to the railroad facilities Of South Amer
lea is not yet completed and is not likely to be
for some years to come. According to Mr.. Ell
Fitz Gerald. the explorer OF Mount Aconcagua.
tine road mas been advanced on the Chilian side
OF the Andes up to the mountain and some
way into them on the Argentine side. but in
March last there were still forty-four miles OF
the most difficult part OF the road to build and
further progress will necessarily be very slow.
At that time the road had heen completed up
to Punta de las Vacas, in the mountains on the
Argentine side. and to Salto del Soldado on the
CHILEAN side, The part yet to be built includes
a tunnel underthe Cumbre Pass, the summit
Of which is l2.795 feet above the. sea. The road
through, the mountalns is 3S-foot gauge. with
rack and, pinion for the sleeper grades, Even
greater difficulties are involved than had TO be
overcome in building the lines into the Peru
Wan mountains.

THE Y1ALArNY EXECUTED.
A Nervous Man, Some Noisy Boys and u
Plot That Was Put into Use.

In the plot were all the boys OF the block. in
Guiding the boy with tho broken arm who could
not get out. Their ages ranged from o to IA.
The cause OF the conspiracy was a nervous
man who had requested the boys to keep quiet
in the morning in order that he might sleep
and who had frequently stopped them. slngly
and collectively. and told them how he did
when he was a boy.
The chief of the conspiracy and executioner
OF the plot had called for suggestions for
schemes and plans by which the life of the
nervous man might be further harried and
shortened. Very many. were suggested. But
10 each the chief villain had replied, walking to
and fro ike a hyena between meals:
1T must be somethin' lingerin' and distrac-
tin
After the catalogue was well nigh exhausted
the chief stopped and rasped the air.
"Ha., have u! will play Sanity to me brud-
der and give i'm a drum"
And the next day an undertaker's wagon
backed up 70, the house in which the nervous
man had died.

AOJUDGEO A NUISANCE.
Outcome of the Recent Search at tho
American Billiard Parlors.

American Billiard Parlors.
In City Court Monday morning the bar
of the American Billiard parlors was adj
judged Il nuisance and lines and costs inn
posed, as Il result of the recent search,
amounting to over 500. +. j. Donlin APP
peared as the lessee of the building.
A hearing was first held in the seizure
case, in which Sheriff Reeves testified 10
having found 80 bottles and one ten gal
Ion keg of whiskey and a bottle of gin in
a closet upon the third floor of the block.
The key to the closet was found in the
money drawer at the bar upon the first
floor. The liquor was ordered contscdted
ard costs fixed at the usual figure of Sl4. SO.
The case was appealed and bail fixed at
$50.
The evidence of the sheriff in the first
case was admitted to the case for having
on han and the fact that the key of the
closet where the liquor was found was
kept in the money dra Wer of the bar led
the Judge to believe that the liquor was
intended for sale at the bar. 1t was also
shown that there was a license issued to
p. j. Donlin at this place as a retail liquor
dealer. Judge Russell fixed the fine in
the case at $50 and the costs figured $1i,5l
An appeal was entered and bail fixed at
800.
The complaint against the bar as n NUS
ance led to some question as to whether
the bar or the place where the liquor was
found |. G.. the closet, was the nuisance
under the statute but 1t was adjudged
that the bar was c~onclusively connected
with the closet and the nuisance was
placed upon tho bar proper, The fine was
$50 and costs amounting to si4.51. An OPP
peal was taken In this as in the other case
and bail was fixed at 800.
