FRISCO TO DENVER.
Banker Seligman Says Extension of
the Road Is Certain.

Denver, April 1.-THE St Louis and
San Francisco road-tEle Frisco line
VIII be built to connect with Denver
as fast as men and money can con-
struct it. The bonds for the new route
have all been placed and guaranteed
by the big banking house of SeIigman
& Co, of New York, Paris, London and
Berlin. This statement was made here
by Mr.. H Seligman, whose private car
went east on the Union Pacific. Mr.
Seligman and party came in from Cali
fornia, where they had been for
month.
The Frisco line is coming toward
the mountains as fast as it can be
built" said Mr.. Seligman. "Of course
you understand the company itself is
not building the line Another com
pany has been formed for construction,
but our house has guaranteed the bonds
and the Frisco line will operate it. We
will not have a short line to Denver
from Chicago or st. Louis, of course,
but we will open up by an almost di-
rect route an immense territory that
is now practically isolated from this
section and I anticipate a very heavy
freight business as well as profitable
passenger traffic, especially during the
summer. Thousands of persons along
the Frisco line go to the seashore and
great lakes every summer simply he
cause they are on direct lines of travel.
By opening up the trip to the mountains
the rush will be this way"

MRS. CHEESEMAN'S WILL.
Reported That an Effort VIII
Be Made to Break It.

It is said that relatives of the late
Mrs Eliza Chrisman viii make an effort
to break her will in the event it remains
as it was drawn up something less than
a year ago. It is practically known that
no change was made in the document by
Mrs Chrisman before her death, and
this means that the bulk of her for
tune will go to the establishment of q
Methodist university.
The relatives will claim that Mrs
Chrisman was not in full possession Of
her faculties when the viii was made,
and was unduly influenced in the dis
tributiOn of her funds.

RUMoR ABOUT MIR. NEvIN.
Reputed in California That He Is to
Be Retired

There is a healthy but unconfrmed
rumor in railroad circles that General
Manager Nevin of the Santa Fe Is to
be retired, says the Bernardino, Cal,
Evening Transcript This is not a new
rurnor. as several months ago it was
predicted as a certainty that he would
be out of a job, but he is still on deck
Mr.. Neyin is general manager OF the
Santa F'e lines west OF Albuquerque,
and along with the rumor that he is to
be retired comes one that announces
that the office of general manager will
be abolished. This last statement is
hard to believe, as it is difficult to re-
alize how so many miles Of track could
get along without a general manager.
But this last story may have been to
let Mr.. Nevin down easy.
