The residents of the lower section of ts1e

cause of the annoyance caused them ev@
cry evening by the drilling of cars on the
track which runs along the towpath OF
the canal toward the river front, belieya
that they have the best OF grounds fox
their complaint. The story of the nuis-
ance created every evening by the rails
road was told exclusively in 1.-THE News
of yesterday.
The residents claim that not a night
passes that the noise is not the cause OF
the loss of considerable sleep by the in<
cessant footing of the whistles and ths
ringing of the bells.
In Bayonne a short time ago the resi~
dents were successful in "a fight they
made against the Central Railroad. What
they particularly complained against was
the bell ringing and shrieking of the
whistles which were used as signals in
the drilling of freight cars in the various
yards. The railroad was compelled ia
substitute lights for the whistle in sigt

"TEDDY" is LOST.
Is Not the Rough RIDER But a
Little Greenville Boy.

James schofeld, otherwise known as
..Teddy." two years old, of No. III Jack
son avenue, is lost. According to his
father, who rushed excitedly into the
ocean avenue police station about 8
o'clock. Teddy left the house about six
o'clock, carrying pair of new shoes. He
had been gone about an hour when
missed. Every one in the ps-ghborhood
was pressed into service and general
search was begun, but without success.
Teddy is a bright youngster and is well
known to every one in the neighborhood.
His disappearance is most singular, and
as a result many conjectures as to its
cause are af1oat.
Mr.. Schofeld is inclined to believe that
the baby was enticed away by some un-
known colored person who wanted the
new shoes. The police, however, think
that Teddy is in some neighbors house.

The WORK OF DASTARDS.
A Boy Most Cruelty Treated by -Four
Strangers,


The story of the brutal treatment Of
a native boy comes from Monticello,
Sierra county. The boy was MELTON
Garcia, who was working for F.. +.
Smith, living fifteen miles from Mont :
cello He disappeared ON the 18th of
this month, and was not heard of again
until three days later, when he was
found more dead than alive in camp
of shepherds. He had started for Mag
dalena with William Dodds. Wh.e
camp for supplies, when two stranger s
came to Garcia and demanded his
horse. One of the strangers grabbed the
boy by his neck and made him walk
from the camp to the San Mateo noun
tains, two miles distant. There they
tied him to a tree head down and left
him. After a while they returned with
two other men. They united him. and
bade him walk, whipping him cruelty
at the same time. After that they tied
his feet again and dragged him about
| 100 yards, after which they left him %.
| telling him that he was treated in th:t
manner because he was a "Mexica.." "
and because he worked for Frank
Smith. Garcia had gone two days ami
three nights without food, water or
shelter. He made himself crutches out
of brushwood and dragged himself and
partly crawled to the camp, where he
was found by parties that had gone ont
from Monticello to hunt for him. Th arc
is no clew to the dastards, who treated
| the boy in that manner, except that the
| boy said that they We're Americans"

The new RAILROAD
Senator Andrews Speaks of the Proposed
Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Pacific
Railroad.

Senator w. H. Andrews, of PennsS'-
vania, an extensive mine owner IN ST.
ezra county, and one of the chief pro-
moters Of the Santa Fe, Albuq9e,Gue
and Pacific railroad in an ilsfsr",e%
tfis week, gave out some facts about
the proposed railroad.
He states that he has the best rail-
ing the length of the road, and when it
is completed will be Of inestimable
worth to both Santa Fe and Albuqucl-
que.
"Our road will traverse the best coun-
try in New Mexico" he said. 'and &c
have everything ready to begin build-
ing, and the road will be completed
within a few months. 1t will run
through a practically level country, and
the task of building will be much less
than any other road in the country.
"The finest coal in the west lies on
our line just south of Santa Fe," con-
tinued Mr.. Andrews, land when our
road is completed we will be able to
supply the markets of the west with as
good coal as cam be found in Pennsvl
vania, and at a much less cost than II
is being furnished now. The coal is
near the top of the ground, and can be
mined cheaply, and we can reach m:.r.
kets more easily than any other MINES
in the territory. Our road connects with
both the Santa Fe and the Ell Paso and
Rock Island, which assures us of good
traffic rates into Mexico, the business
we are looking most anxiously for. We
also connect with the Denver & Rio
Grande at Santa Fe. OF course, we WI!
have to handle the D. & r. G. business,
for that company is tied up in an agrea-
ment with the Santa Fe, and cannot,
therefore, build further into New MeXi-
co. We have no connections with the
Denver & Rio Grande road except u
handle their business, but, of course,
under the agreement we have we ar:
| the connecting link that furnishes an
other through line from Denver t. El
Paso.
"The new road will not belong to any
of the larger companies, for we have a
good thing as it is. We shall give the
| Rock Island a chance at the Albuquar
que and Santa Fe business, aus we'll az
connecting the Denver & Rio Grando
with FL Paso, and the through business
alone will make the road paying insti-
tuition"
Mr.. Andrews Is delighted with TIE
proposition, and says that there can be
no trouble or delay in constructing the
line. He asserts that his company has
mo connection with the Denver & Rio
Grande except traffic. arrangement.
Mr. Andrews is at Albuquerque TO-
day, where the directors are holding a
meeting and arranging for the begin
ming of the work. He has traversed the
section to be covered by the road, and IL
one Of the largest mine owners ana ops
orators in the territory. The road will
60 through the rich San Pedro district
where one Of the largest smelters in the
territory is now in operation, and num-
bers Of small mines are being WORKED.
