THE O.. r. |, & P. r. r.

By January LIST the Rock Island ex-
poets to be ale to open for business its
southwestern extension to Ell Paso,
Tex. This line, in connection with the
Southern Pacific and the Mexican Cen
trail railroads. will give the Rock
Island the shortest line both to South
ern California and the City of Mexico,
ann make it dangerous competitor of
the Santa Fe. 1t took just one year to
construct the 546 miles of the new OK
tension from Liberal, Kan. to Ell Paso,
Tex. For the purpose of complying
with the Texas law that every railroad
within that state shall have state oper
ating headquarters and also for general
construction facilities and convenience,
the new road was placed under the
charters of FIVE different railroad cor
porations, VIZ: The Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific proper, the Chicago,
Rock Island & Mexico, the Chicago,
& Ell Paso. and the Ell Paso & North
eastern. The road from Liberal to
Santa Rosa, N. NJ, distance Of 272
miles, was placed under direct Rock
Island construction, with ]. H. Conlen,
vice president of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Mexico, as Chief Engineer
and General Manager, while from San
ia Rosa to Carrizozo, distance of 1870
miles, the construction work was given
to the Ell Paso & Northeastern, which
nIroodxy hod ID Iipa
Paso to CarriZozo. The road from Lib
eral to Carrizozo will be equipped with
eighty-pound steel rails, oak or pitch
pine ties, and modern ballasting. De-
pot, side tracks, switches, station
houses, yardings, water tanks, and
Western Union telegraph lines have all
kept pace with actual road building,
and when the road Is opened by the
first of next year it will be in as perfect
condition as any of the lines of the
Rock Island system that have been in
service for years. In connection with
the Rock IslandEl Paso line is the
new thirty-nile railroad which is to
develop the immense Dawson coal
fields, owned by the Rock Island, on
the Beaubien and Miranda grant, in the
northern part of Colfax county, N. M.
This road will leave the main Rock
Island rails at or near Liberal station,
twenty miles southwest of the Cana
dian river crossing, and run through
the New Mexican counties of San Mi
guel, Mora and Colfax. This branch
will be completed by May Is. 1902. The
coal is to feed the southeastern por-
ton of the Rock Island-El Paso line,
and probably will largely supply the
Southern Pacific railroad, in addition
to a heavy domestic custom in that
section. of the country. The compile
ton of the 'ET Paso line will give the
Rock Island route of 222 miles short
er between Kansas City and Ell Paso
than that of the Santa Fe between the
same points, together with a saving
of fifteen hours of time, the latter fact
being largely due to the favorable
alignment and maximum l per cent
grade OF the new Rock Island line. In
connection with the Southern Pacific,
the Rock Island will have a shorter
line from Chicago to Los Angeles than
will the Santa Fe. The construction
cost Of the Rock Island-El Paso line
will app oximate $1,000. 900. an average
Of about $4,000 per mile.-Chicaso

FIRE BACK OF POST OFFICE
But It Wasn't Caused by
the Hot Time
There.

A fire that caused considerable excite
ment occurred yesterday afternoon in
the five-story and basement brick fiat, No.
loS Sussex street. The fire was first dis
covered about three o'clock by Postmas-
ter p. F. Wanser and Superintendent
Birch, who were conversing in the Post
office. Postmaster Wanser hurried to the
telephone and notified Fire Headquar-
ters.
When the firemen arrived smoke and
flames were pouring from the rear win
dows of the third floor. The rooms on
the third floor are occupied by the fami-
lies of William Clark and Thomas Sham
non. The fire was located in the Shan
non apartments, where bed and bed
room fixtures were blazing fercely Sew
eral streams of water were soon directed
on the flames and in half an hour the
fire was out.
In the meantime Sussex street was the
scene of considerable excitement. In the
fiat, at the time the fire was discovered,
there were about sixty persons AS soon
as they realized their danger they rushed
pell nell to the street. Many met on the
stairways and in their hurry to get to a
place of safety they pushed and showed
one another A panic and possibly loss
of life were only averted by cool and
prompt action on the part of Police Cap
tain John Cody, Sergeant Solomon and
and the men of the Gregory street police
station. They hurried the tenants out in
order and all reached the street in safety.
Mrs. Baird. an elderly woman, who is an
invalid and who lived on the first floor,
safety. She suffered little from the ex-
element
Captain Cody, fearing that some one
might have been hurt, judiciously sent
out call for aid, and the reserves of the
Second and Fourth precincts were soon
on the scene. Chief Murphy and In
spector Archibold then assumed COM
mand of the police arrangements
Just how the fire originated is a mys-
terry. It was at first supposed that the
fire had started in the parlor of the
Shannon home and that an overheated
stove had been the cause, but the feet
that all the damage was done to the
bedroom, where there was no stove, and
that the parlor was not touched by the
flames exploded that theory
Mrs. Shannon was seen by a News
reporter. She said:-"I had occasion to
go out to the store and 1 left my four
year-old son at home. When l left he
was in the bedroom, and it was there
the fire started. How he escaped is a
miracle"
Mrs. Shannon was asked if there were
any matches nearby that the boy could
reach.
Il don't know" she replied; "at least,
don't think so''
At Fire Headquarters this morning it
was said that it was impossible to figure
the extent of the damage, but that few
hundred dollars would cover it all.

REDEMpToRlsT Fathers PLEASED
Success OF Mission at st. Mary's Sur
passes Their Expectation.

The Mission of the Redemptorist
Fathers, now being held at st. Mary's r.
&C. Church, will conclude at high mass
on Sunday. This week the mission is be-
ing conducted for the unmarried men.
The mission started on Sunday, January
8. It has been held for four weeks. The
first week was for married women, the
second week for unmarried women, last
week for married men, and this, the final
week, for unmarried men. Each night
during the four weeks the church was
crowded not only with parishioners of st.
Mary s. but members of other congrega-
tions throughout the city. In the morning
two masses were said for those who were
making the mission. One mass was said
at FIVE O clock for the benefit of those
who had to go to work early and one at
eight O'Clock for those who did not go to
work until later in the day.
Today being the first Friday of the
month confessions were heard all day

and those desiring to do SO received Holy
Communion this morning.
Father Ter Woert is highly pleased at
the manner in which his parishioners re-
sponded to the appeals of the Redemp-
torist Fathers and turned out in such
good numbers in bad and good weather
alike. The. priests conducting the mission
also express their satisfaction and firati-

MURDERERS HERE
McAllister, Campbell, Death
and Kerr Pass Through
the City.

McAlister, Death, Campbell and Kerr,
the four Paterson men who were recently
convicted of the murder of Jennie
Bosscheitter. passed through this city.
this morning on their way to the State
Prison at Trenton. One of the largest
throngs which have ever gathered in the
big station of the Pennsylvania Railroad
was there when the men passed through.
1t was before eight o'clock when the
men arrived, but if the Sheriff of Passaic
hoped to escape the throng by starting
out at that early hour he was disap-
pointed. Somehow or other the word got
around that the murderers were coming,
and as each of the early trains deposited
its load of passengers in the trainshed'
the throng grew Many commuters re-
fused to go on to New York. and crowds.
from Jersey City and Manhattan gained
access to the trainshed by purchasing
tickets to Marion and Newark. A strong
force of Jersey City policemen was on
the crowd dispersed.
The Paterson men were in the station
not over four minutes. They left Pater-
son on the Susquehanna train, leaving at
seven o'clock and arrived in Jersey City
at TAI. The crowd not only learned what
train the men were coming on, but also
on what track the train would enter the
station. Therefore, when the locomotive
rolled in promptly on time both sides of
the track were packed with young and
old men. The train had barely come to
standstin when McAlister appeared up-i
on the platform of the smoking car,
handcuffed to a deputy. He was quickly
followed by Campbell and Death, Kerr
bringing up the rear. AS the men ap-
peared the crowd surged forward, and,
although there were cries of Here they
are!'' and one man cried, They ought
to be hung!'' there was no demonstrations,
Curiosity alone appeared to dominate
the throng. When Kerr stepped off the,
car the crowd was very close to the men
and he showed some signs of trepidation.;
McAlister and the others gave no sign
of emotion of any kind and gazed upon
the throng that surged about them with
careless Indifference.
So thick was the crowd that it was
necessary for the police to force a lane
through it for the deputies and their pris-'
oners. After advancing a short distance
down the platform the Sheriff, who was
in charge of the prisoners, decided on a
flank movement. The trenton train he
wished to take was on the second track
from the platform he was on with ans.
other train between. He saw a position
where he could step from a platform OF
the train between to the Trenton train,
and he decided to use it. He compelled
the prisoners to climb up on the first tram
and then step to the Trenton train. Kerr,
the last man, had barely reached the plat-
form OF the Trenton train when 1t pulled
out of the station and the men began the
last stage of the journey to living tomb.
BY this flank movement the Sheriff
evaded the crowded and only a small pro-
portion of it obtained glimpse of the no.
torious criminals.
