the Frisco at the River.

WHEN the Choctaw road made
its survey form Harthorne to Ard

about three and oue-half miles to
the north, crossing the Frisco
Just below the Wasbita river.
Why they did this is perhaps bet
ter known 10 themselves. but re.
port has 1t here that they did so to
keep from building Mp a Frisco
town.
The Record il informed that to
have come through Ravia would
have cost them perhips 500, 900
less money, but they saw ft to
cross below here. The Frisco aud
the Choctow don't ride together In
the same carriage, aud we under
stand that some time ago the
Frisco ieople enjoiued the Choc-
taw from crossing the Frisco at
the river, unless they either run
under or over the Frisco track q,
but was willing for them to cross
at Ravia.
This kind Of talk is talked
around by some OF the contractors
of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and
Cult people, bar it is not generally
known One thing is settled
fact, and that is that there is no
grading going on on the Choctaw
tor three or four miles on either
side of the Frisco road.
Our informant tells Us that il is
out of the question tor the Choc
taw to go under the Frisco at the
point where they contemplat,

trestling almost for a mile Oh
either side to go over it, and then
only alternative is come on through

MORGAN SAYS CARNEGIE
RICHEST NAN IN WORLD.
THE STEEL KING HAS BEEN FINAL
LY RETIRED FROM THE STEEL
BUSINESS.
GREAT SCHEME MAY FAIL YET.
STOCKHOLDERS OF THE NATIONAL
TUBE COMPANY FAR FROM
SATISFIED.

PITTSBURG. Pa, Feb. 2s.-The
Leader to-day says:
An official of the National Tube
Company this morning said that the
Morgan syndicate, which is attempting
to amalgamate the great steel compa-
MES into the United States Steel cor
poration, is now bending its energies
to h~armonizing the different factions.
Before any further steps are taken
in the matter. it will be necessary to
make a ratio for the exchange of stock,
that will not only be satisfactory to
both the stockholders and Morgan, but
such as will not cause the jealousies
of share owners of the other compa-
MES, as the proportions already an
nounced have done. The matter will be
extremely difficult.
The opinion of a number of people
that the deal will be closed this week
will likely prove to be false. 1t was
learned to-day that it will be in the
neighborhood of two months at least
before all the difficulties are over
come.
Mr.. Carnegie was finally retired
from the steel business last week.
He received S22. 500, 600 in cash and
holds a lien on his stock for five per
cent. gold bearing bonds to the value
of nearly 5000, coo. 600. The liens are
to be surrendered when the bonds are
approved or accepted. Arrangements
have been made and accepted by Mr..
Carnegie for the giving of certain
securities for the sum in case the
consolidation should ultimately fail.
If this should happen he would be
given new bonds of the Carnegie
company to the value OF his stock or
$83, 900, 600. The balance will have to
be provided in some other way.
When the settlement vas made with
Carnegie Mr.. Morgan told the steel
king hat he was the richest man in
the world,

The grand jury. which has beer in ses-
sion at Harrisviile. returned eight in
dietments against C. ii. White, of this
place, charging him with the illegal
sale of liquor. Mr.. White is agent Of
the Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroad COM
pany, and of the United States Express
Company here. 1t is in the latter "a
pacity that he is claimed TO have vio-
lated the law. Liquor dealers in other

sons here C. o. D., with instructions 20
the agent # the packages are not claim
ed by the addressee to deliver the
goods TO any one who will pay tho
charges, including the moun due for
the goods. AS many of the packages
are shipped to fictitious addresses there
is always a supply on hand, and when
ever any one wants whisky in this no
license town il Is an easy matter 10
secure one OF the unclaimed G. o. d.
packages. The system has been work
ed here to a considerable extent, and
many of the people have determined TO
break up the practice. The same evil
dence which was presented TO the
grand jury will be given at the trial.

EVANSVILLE, w. Va, February
28.-Within the last few days there
have been two mysterious attempts
at assassination in the vicinity of
Yellow creek, this county. A few
nights ago a daughter of James Metz
was entertaining a gentleman caller
at her home. AS they were seated in
the parlor there was a crash and a
bullet, fired through the window,
graZed the side of Miss Metz's head
and buried itself in the wall behind
her. Who fired the shot Is not known,
but the would-be assassin had evil
IDENTIFY aimed directly at the young
lady. Mr.. Metz and the young man
who was at the house both started in
pursuit of the person who shot as soon
as they found Miss Metz was not Sc
riously hurt, but in the darkness he
made his escape.
The next night George Taylor, who
resides in the same n~eighborhood,
was waylaid while passing along the
road after nightfall and was shot at
from ambush. He escaped the bullet,
which came SO close to him that he
could hear it. The person who fired
at him also escaped without detection.
1t is said that suspicion rests upon
certain parties and that the officers
will make a thorough investigation
of the case and attempt to bring the
person or persons to justice.

wagon with him. When they had gone
about two miles further, Mr.. S. w.

who were working in a barn near
the road, heard the screams of a wo-
man and going to the road, found

them he whipped up his team and
started ON a run calling back to them

intercourse with the girl on the way
home with her. but that he used no
force, and that she did not object. But

she was struggling and screaming
when they were first attracted to them.
The girl refuses to talk. She is not
strong Intellectually, and has never
been considered bright by her mother.
Tracewell is 40 years of age, and has
been married three times.

ST. JOHN WITH MRS. NATION.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Feb, 2s.-Ex-
Governor John P. st. John, of Kansas,
In an interview, defended the course of
Mrs. Carrie Nation in her crusade
against the joints in Kansas. He said
that Mrs. Nations position on the Ii
quor question was like John Browns
position ON the slavery question, and
although her methods are unusual and
unrefined, she is justified in using any
means to abate the joint nuisance in
Kansas. While she may technically be
guilty of treason in destroying the
joints, to property, he said. the distinc-
tion of property which is being used
notoriously in violation of the law is
no crime.
Ex-Governor st. John was Governor
OF Kansas when the first constitution

tariff in Kansas was passed.
