J. C. STANTON DIES
 IN NEW YORK CITY
A PROMINENT FACTOR IN SOUTH ERIN vELoPMENT-WAs PRO- MoTER OF THE ALABAMA AND CHATTANOOGA ROAD.

J. 0. Stanton, who died in New York yesterday, was prominent factor in Southern development, and was espe- cially we'll known in Tennessee and Alabama. He did more perhaps for the advancement of Chattanooga in the early years following the civil war than any other man.
 In 1868 MT Stanton settled in Chat tanooga and purchased the Wills Val ley Railroad, which had been built be- fore the war. It ran from Chattanooga to Trenton, Ga., a distance of thirty miles.
 MT. Stanton extended the little line to Meridian, Miss, through Birming- ham, calling it the Alabama and Chat tanooga Railroad. It is now the Ala bama Great Southern. From the Ala bama Legislature the promoter se- cured guarantee of the bonds of the road to the extent of $16,000 a mile, but the company failed to meet the interesK and the State took the line in charge. It was operated for while and was then abandoned for a long
 Mr. Stanton was the first man to employ Chinese labor, importing 2000 from China to work on the railroad, but the experiment proved unsuccess- ful. He built the Stanton House at Chattanooga, laid the first underground sewer in that city and ran for Mayor on the greenback ticket. but was de- feated.
 His daughter astonished the people of Chattanooga by ascending in a bal loon. She married Henry Clews, the famous Wall street operator

VENEzUELA'S ARMY FACES COLOMBIA A Misunderstood Order May Cause Bloody Encounter PEACE IS STILL POSSIBLE Colombia Has Been Asked to Explain Her Invasion of Tachlra, and
 Venezuela Is Waiting for
 Her Reply.

Caracas, Venezuela, October 10.-The correspondent of the Associated Press is enabled to say, upon excellent grounds. that the idea of peaceful, friendly and conclusive arrangement between Venes- ueia and Colombia of the existing trouble is not repulsive, nor foreign to Yenezu- ella, being always understood that Venez- uela's national honor will in no way suf- fer thereby, and that during the past fortnight this idea has grown, and has secured increased following in Caracas.
 The reply to the memorandum of Dr. Blanco, the Venezuelan minister of for eign affairs, and to Venezuela's request to pr. Rice, the minister of Colombia to Venezuela to explain Colombias alleged invasion of Tachira in July could reach here at the end of this month according to the calculations of the time.Dr. Rice requires to reach Bogota, confer with the Colombian cabinet and transmit the let ters with the answer to Caracas. Venez- uela Is anxious to receive Colombia's re- ply.
 In the meantime the frontier situation is dangerous. Two forces of armed men, without dividing neutral zone. are con fronting each other. A misunderstand- ing order, trivial accident or minor unintended engagement might precip1 itate bloody encounter"
 Venezuela is confident that she can suc- cessfully hold her present position against a possible invasion,

schley court of inquiry and whose re- quest was denied by the court, today presented another letter asking that the admiral be allowed representation.
 The court replied as follows;
 Sir: The court has received and con sideFed your letter of this date in which you again request that you be permitted to appear before the court as counsel for Rear Admiral Sampson and given facil- tiles which will enable you to hear the procedurs and to defend that officer from attack when necessary.
 In reply I have to state that while the precept eonvening this court gives It au- thority to permit any person whom 1t may regard as concerned in the investiga- tion to be present for the purpose of cross-examining witnesses and acquiring evidence, the court considers that Rear Admiral Sampson is not an interested party in the case now before 1t, and is therefore not entitled to appear as such, either in person or by counsel and you are further informed that If circum- stances arise which in the opinion of the court render it necessary for Admiral Sampson to be represented due notice will be sent him, Very respectfully,
