president Of the Salt Lake Valley rail-
road. will tonight petition the city coun.
ell for a right of way down First West
street to Second South street This Is
the proposed electric lire from salt
Lake to ogden.
Some Of the electric railways now
building In England have adopted meth
DDS Of supporting the trolley wires
which seem very odd TO American eyes.
because In this country single poles are
set close to the tracks, which are
usually In the middle Of the street or
else two poles at the curbs and cross
wires are used. The March number Of
the Street Railway Review In an article
on the electric line in Coventry, Eng
land states that iron poles having pro-
jecting arms over twelve feet long are
used for carrying the trolley wires.
When the present war In South Africa
is ended. as Is supposed 1t will in the
subjugatlon OF the Beers the Burllng-
ton officials anticipate that thousands
Of the people OF the Transvaal Will be
as DESTROYS Of getting away from Eng
lish rule as they were when they went
into the African wilderness. There is
no place IN Africa Cor them 10 go, and
the road Is preparing TO send agents 10
that country 20 induce them TO come
TO this country and settle In the unde-
veloped portions and engage either In
stock-raising or farming. They are
confident OF securing several thousand
OF these Industrious and frugal people.
In the closing years Of the seven
teenth century William Penn drew up
his famous contract with the Lennl
Penape tribe OF Indians, who, by It's
wording, were TO release to William
Penn and his successors as much land
lying between the Delaware and Sus-
quehanna rivers, as could be stepped
on In "a hours. commencing at a point
indicated by a rough stone monument
still standing near Newton. From that
time the people Of Bucks county have
had no better method Of reaching the
county seat than was then In vogue,
until quite recently. when an electric
railway was built. running from Bristol
TO Doylestown, Pa, via Newtown.
According TO the Street Railway Re-
view. this road Is 2s miles long and Is
a model Of interurban construction. the
three-phase transmission system at a
pressure Of 5000 volts being used.

charges W. II. Palmer with the Pa
ternity of the LifeIess Little One
Hearing Set for Tomorrow.

w. II. Palmer, the man charged with
criminal intimacy with Miss Ella Alex
ander, appeared before Justice Nielsen
this morning and entered plea Of not
guilty. and his hearing was set for to-
morrow AT y, m. His bond was fixed
az $500. and II not being forthcoming he
was sent back TO the county jail. Pal
mer appeared before Justice Nielsen
yesterday afternoon TO have the entry
Of his plea postponed.
Miss Augusta Alexander, a sister OF
Ella. was present and seemed very
much excited. Before the proceedings
had begun the young lady exclaimed
that she had "a picture that she wished
10 produce in evidence The court in
formed her that no evidence would be
received as the prisoner was there
merely to postpone the giving Of his
plea.
Miss Anderson then arose and In a
very dramatic manner swept across the
room, and thrust picture In Palmer's
face, crying;
There is your child; but It is dead"
The young lady was exhibiting a pic
ture OF one Of The twins her sister had
given birth 10, and which was taken
after the infants demise.
Palmer manifested some surprise on
learning that the baby was dead, but
beyond that he betrayed little or no
emotion.

Cut on Thirty Miles.

II Is estimated that the cost Of the
Sherman hin cutoff win approximate
81. 500, 900 and that about two years will
be consumed In completing the fob
Work on all the Union Pacific cutoffs
now in course Of completion Is being
pushed rapidly. Fitzpatrick Bros, the
contractors who have the bulk Of the
work In charge. state that over 1900
men are engaged on the various con-
tracts. The cost of the work now
under way will amount 10 A,750,000.
which is justified by officials and di.
rectors Of the Union Pacific because
OF the great Improvement. resulting
from Strengthening the curves. modi-
flying grades and shortening distances.
The contractors believe that the cut
offs east OF Rawllns Will be ready for
travel by June and that the western
end Of the line will be completed by
September /. These calculations are
based upon the speed with which the
work Is being carried on at the pres.
ent time. When the new route Is
ready for operation. the distance will
be lessened by about thirty miles.

CHAPMAN BEATS LAWSON
In Fifty Mile Race and Lowers the
Worlds Record.

John Chapman. the bicycle rider who
held thousands spellbound at the Salt
Palace track last season by his wonder
ful riding, has again demonstrated his
superiority over the Terrible swede"
In a ffty-mie race.
Last Sunday night Chapman rode
against Lawson and Hardy Downing
az Los Angeles and not only did be beat
them by several wheel lengths, but he
smashed the worlds record by riding
the nifty miles IN one hour, thirty-seven
minutes and nineteen seconds. II Will
be remembered that Chapman won
from Lawson here last summer. Judging
from his work In los Angeles the At
lanta boy IL himself once more. He will
ride at the Salt Palace again this sea-
son and VIII doubtless smash more
records.

PLACE NOT ACCEPTED
For the Coming Contest Between
Sharkey and Fitzsimmons.

New York, March IAN effort was
made tonight blythe persons interested
TO agree upon a place for the coming

Seaside Sporting club deposited a check

cipals 60 per cent OF the gross receipts
and 80 per cent OF the picture profits.
Tom O'Rourke. OF the club, explained
that II was his intention TO allow the
$500 already on deposit for the JEFF
fries-COrbett match TO continue up az.
ter that fight on May II, making 5000

made higher bid. II offered g. per
cent OF the gross receipts and 67 per
cent Of the picture profits. II made a
deposit Of a 5000 check. An agree.
ment was not reached. The parties will
meet again tomorrow and probably
make decision The sentiment tonight

ELECTRICAL PARADEs.
Probably the Best Ever Made Was
at New Orleans Last Month.

Numerous attempts have been made
10 utilize the tracks and wires
Of electric railways in making imposing
effects for Industrial and other parades
but the most elaborate electrical pa
geant Of this kind ever attempted was
the Prince Nereus parade on the open
Ing night of the New Orleans carnival
last month. The Street Railway Re-
view in describing the floats states that
they were built on the platforms Of or
binary summer street cars. the posts
and roofs having been removed. It
tested the ingenuity Of the designer to
devise plan to completely conceal
both the motorman and trolleyman, and
TO so disguise the trolley pole that II
would not be recognized. II was q diff
cult piece OF work, especially on ac-
count OF the radical difference OF all
the tableaux, but II was accomplished
admirably. Due regard had TO be ex-
erclsed as well to give both men ample
room 10 work In. and to see ahead.
Though each tableau had a cave In
front, and a larger one 10 the rear the
design comprehended this 80 eleverly
that Its purpose was altogether lost in
the general effect In one car the mo-
torman was concealed In the head Of a
fish, and small. inconsplcuous aper-
ture gave him full opportunity to see
ahead The tr0lleyman was concealed
In the tail Of the fish, while the trolley
pole was hidden by several seagulls In
fight. In car showing the burning OF
the Templars, the mot0rman and troll
leyman were concealed In the flames,
while the trolley pole was huge tongue
OF flame which swayed TO and fro with
the vacillation OF the wire.
The trolley parade was such success
that efforts have been made by Denver
st. Louis and Milwaukee TO secure the
floats. and II will doubtless be repro
duced in one Of those cities.
