Fields Open For Passenger and
Freight Business.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has
made arrangements to build strip OF
line from Pitisburg through East Liv-
erpool and Canton to Warwick, where
it will connect with the main
line, says the cleveland Leader. 1t
is also planning to build road from
Cleveland to Lodi, thus giving the
Cleveland public the closest connec-
tions with the far East and West
trains which will be put ON when the
new Pittsburg- Chicago service goes in
to effect.
The first of these deals has been
much rumored about for the last year,
but not until now has it ever been
said with any degree of positiyeness
that the project was official. 1t is
now known absolutely that the road
will be started upon next spring and
rushed through as rapidly as possible.
The advantages of such route are
multitudinous. The b. Il o. will be
able to avoid the tortuous path taken
by the Pittsburg Il Western and the
old Akron & Western, and will have
direct route from Pittsburg to War
wick, thus cutting Oft 80 miles i'm that
stretch. From Warwick on to Chica-
go the line is direct, so that the road
will be straight away from Pittsburg
to Chicago. This will make the b. Il
o. shorter than the Fort Wayne, the
direct route of the Pennsylvania, and
the latter road will, for the first time.
have some vigorous competition for its
business. Another advantage to the
r. 4 o. will be the opening through the
pottery fields about Fast Liverpool,
which is traeersed by the Pennsylvan.
ia and the Erie exclusively. This will
be new fields for both passenger and
freight business.
The other project is still in an en-
bryonic state. For four years there
have been rumors going that the b. g.
o. intended to build from this city to
Lodi, and four times this route has
been surveyed for a right of way.
Now it is said that, there being some
advantage in the plan, it will be carried
into execution. This will give Cleve-
land passengers quicker service both
to Chicago and the East than they have
ever enjoyed over the r. & o. Be
tween Akron e Pittsburg the p. & w.
will be used almost exclusively as
coal road.

Left Note Addressed 10 His Father
He Will Recover.

T. ]. Ryan. under arrest on a charge
of trying to bribe a witness,
made sensational attempt to end his
existence at the county Jail Monday
morning.
His arrest was the result of the
statement made Friday evening by
Martin Holleran, who testified that he
had been offered SO to make a false
statment in the Eppley case.
At o'clock Monday morning Turn
key John Lehman went into the lower
corridor of the Jail to release the pris-
oners from the cells. Ryan was lock-
ed in one on the south side of the
building. He found the prisoner in an
unconscious condition and apparently
dead. Ryan had torn the ticking from
the outside of his mattress. With this
he had made a rope, one end of which
was tied about his throat. The other
was fastened to the cell door. Ryan
had been unable to lift his feet from
the floor. In order to strangle himself
he had thrown his entire weight
against the rope, leaning back from
the door towards the rear wall of his
cell. That he was determined to die
was evidenced by the desperate meth
cd he had adopted. The rope was
promptly cut and DIR. Foltz, the jail
physician summoned. When he ar
rived Ryan's pulse was almost impre-
ceptible. On the right side it could
not be felt at all. The was a slight
beat on the left side. Restoratives
We're brought into use and it was not
great while before he was pro-
nounced out of danger.
Since Ryan was placed in the County
Jail the prisoners have made life miser-
able for him by calling him harsh
names. AT his own request he was
locked In a cell. After the rope had
been severed note was found pinned
to his breast. 1t read:
Dear Father:
II write you this little note to say
goodbye, for am going to end my life
tonight. Poor sister Kate went crazy
over her trouble and is that way yet
] have thought of killing myself for
some time, ever since l lost my money
and the one loved so well I don't
want her to hear of this but pa stop
drinking and make up with mother,
and live with her the rest of your life.
This is the last thing ask OF you to
do for me. The last thing must say
before l die is / am not to blame for
what they say | am. Bid all my sisters
and brothers goodbye for me, and
mother, too. forgive everyone and
hope they do me. Goodbye to all
will be dead in little while and all
will end"
Ryan has been in hard lines for
several weeks. He has made a living
in various ways and several times has
been accused of pretty shady tran
sactions.
