Mrs. Harriet B. Cooper. who died
April at her home. 2e1 Fifty-seventh

husband out of her will because he
is able to care for himself, and left

Life on the Rock of Gibraltar.

Life on the Rock of Gibraltar. J. Ronald Wallingford in August
 Ledger Monthly.
 The incoming steamer anchors in the bay half mile from shore. passen- gers are taken off in boats, and before entering the city they pass rigid iu- spection by the police. who ask a num- Der of pertinent and impertinent ques- tions. The name. nationality, occu- patton and mission of the stranger In Gibraltar are entered in book: he re- ceives d card which entities him to the hospitality of the rock for twenty four hours. If he desires to stay long CT. bond of $50 for good behavior will secure him immunity from molesta- ton for not more than thirty to sixty days. This permission. however, can, with the proper kind of influence, be renewed many times.
 The town is quaint. picturesque and quiet with its 1s.000 people. mostly English and Spanish. though the num- Der of different nationalities repre- scented makes 1t one of the most cos mopolitan places in the world-Jews, Turks. Levantines. the natives of Gi- braltar called Rock Scorpions" Afri- cans. and refugees from all nations Jostle each other in the three badly built and irr.tatingly narrow streets of the town. he garrison numbers about 5000 persons. making the popu- lation of the rock about 25.000. The soldiers are for the most part. regu- lars brought home from foreign ser- vice for rest and recuperation. The governor of the rock lives in the gov- ernment house, formerly an old con- vent. Everything Is done by military rule: the hours of the day are an nounced by gun fire. the morning gun followed by the bugle reveille wakens the inhabitants from their slumbers and the bugle blast that follows the evening gun, telling the soldiers to turn in has become a signal for the civilians to go home and go to bed. The average daily number entering the garrison for the purpose of trad ing and of bringing in supplies is 3O,- 000 the great proportion of these daily visitors being Spaniards.
 The town contains forty-two schools and three good libraries. The dwell- ings are small. ill-ventilated, badly drained and not over clean. They are very crowded. as 15.000 people live in one square mile of low houses. There are no springs of pure water the great dependence being on rainwater collect ed in cisterns or on water brought from the mainland and sold by ped dlers. Prices are high. almost as high as the Sugar Loaf-the peak of the Rock.

MANY CONFLICTING RUMORS,
But Nothing Definite.

There have been many rumors aAoat con-
corning the sale of the l.. X. railroad, but
Is vet all of them lack confirmation That
some kind ofa deal is on, is not d,nhtel
and it Is certain that the fate of the
road depends upon the result of the deal
Three adverse interests, it is stated are ai-
ter the road the Pennsylvania; the Gould
Syndicate aud the Davis Ellins Syndicate
The GouldS and the Pennsylvania people
have been lighting each other for some
time, and ii the former purchases the road
it will undoubtedly be extended at least into
the Gilmer coal fields as soon as practical:
but if the Pennsylvania gets it, it will pos
sibly be dismmtled and certainly will not
be extended farther than it now is. Davis
and Elllins own the West Virginia Central
which is a very valuable railroad property,
but Is dependant upon the Il. " O. for an
outlet to tidewater. The Pennsylvania
wants this road ami since they have pur-
chased the b. * 0. they are in a position to
dictate terms, and have recently given
Davis and Elkius to understand that they
must either sell or do worse Now, they do
not want to sell this road, and if they own
ed the L. X. they could extend their road
from Belimgton to Clark,burg and then ON
through the Gilmcr coal fields to connect
with the l.. X, and thus give them an out
let to the Ohio river. And in view Of the
fact that they have within the past few
days closed a deal whereby they become
the owner of all the nraXton Coal Compa-
ny coal land, being about 10000 acres "
ing in Gilmer and Braxton counties, be
sides which they were already owners of
about 10000 acres in the same territory, it
would look as ii they were the purchasers
of the road. The most reasonable rumor
since Elkins denies that the w. Va Central
is trying to buy the l.. X. is that contained
in onr dispatcc from Clarksburg, given be-
low. The situation then in brief is that
these three railroad intere- Is are after the
l.. X, to one of which it has been or will
be sold. Ifciiher the Gould- or Davis and
Elkins purchases it, it viii be built and
possibly made trunk lire, but ii the Pen
sylvania gets it, it may be dismantled, and
certainly will not be extended. 50 we
have two chances out of three for rail
road. Below we give some dispatc hes
showing the different rumors:
Later:-The latests report indicates that
the l.. X. road has been purchased hy Da-
Wis q Elkins backed by the Gould Svndi-
cate for $4,000 of which 100000 mas
been paid; and that beyond doubt the road
viii! be extended at once aud will be link
in great trunk line running from the seat
board to the lakes, in competition to the
II IL .. and the ~. O. Never were the
prospects 80 bright for the building of this
road and the future development of this
valley Is now.
