Suburban Development.

We call attention to the announce
ment, in another column. OF the
splendid opportunity offered by the
owners of the Vance property on the
West Side for building and business
sites.
This property overlooks the river,
and is one of the most beautiful of
our suburban territory for nice
homes, and the most accessible for
manufacturers and other business
purposes being convenient to both
the boats and the railroad.
All that is needed to make it the
most marketable Of our adjoining
territory is to open road from the
suspension bridge along the river
bottom to Granville. This would
bring all the travel Of the lower part
of the county right through it, and
would make fashionable drive for
our towns people that would en-
nance the value Of the property 25
per cent as soon as the road was
opened. The NEW DOMINION has
frequently called attention to the
opportunity of bringing this proper
ty into market by opening this road.
We are surprised that it has not
been done before this. We wonder
that it has been so long delayed.
Nobody can understand why the
owners of that land have slept on
their chance to boom property and
we will venture to say that the en-
terprising purchasers who are. now
opening that site will not be long in
opening a splendid driveway down
the river. There is no reason why
it should be necessary to climb over
the hills to get from the lower end
Of the county into Morgantown,
when it could be reached on a natur-
al easy grade.
We congratulate the enterpising
citizens who are in this movement
upon, their purchase It will bring
them money and add to the i'm
mediate development and growth of
the town in direction that is nat
ural and easy.

Man who Set off the Fatal Shot

Hundreds of other Miners Quickly
Escaped from New England Mines

Escape for Scores of Workmen Iof
Fairm0nt.
What might have been one of the
worst mine horrors Ia the state was
narrowly ayerted at the New England
mines above FaKmont ON Friday.
Going into the mine at an early hour
an Italian named Bendetto Andia put
in a Shot which ignited a large guam
tity of gas and dust.
The mine was set on fire and the
unlucky man was instantly killed.
His remains have not yet been recoy-
cred. Several hundred men are en-
ploYed In the mines but they escaped
by going out OF openings In rear OF
the scene OF the explosion.
Several OF them were badly shocked
and knocked down by the force OF the
explosion. No gas had heretofore
been detected ia the mine and its
presence Is unexplained. An i1vesti-

The explosion took place about two
miles from the mouth Of the mine.

ports it was still burning. The mine
is owned by the Watsons and is the
second in size In the district being

cit was reported at first that score
OF men had been killed but the reports
have been found to have been baseless

the shot. It will be several days be-
fore the wreckage Is cleaned out as

authors Of antiquity. The characteristic
beauties in the productions OF each writer
and his individual mode or expression
were designated and explained
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the
University of California read paper on
1.-The Position Of the Persian Fleet at
Salamis." following the account given by
Aeschylus and Herodotus. In presenting
his subject President Wheeler used a. map
to illustrate the positions of the two con-
tending forces. He quoted from both
authors to prove that HeTodotus' account
of the battle is entirely self consistent and
not inconsistent with the description given
by AeschYlus. Much interest was mani

Mr.. Adams advocated freer discussion
OF political questions by scholars. citing
in this connection his own interest in The
past twelve Presidential canbaigns In
all these, he said, there had been only six
great questions suggested, viz, slavery,
reconstruction, currency, the tariff. the
trusts and Imperialism. But three of these
had been definitely decided. He believed
that those of slavery, reconstruction and
the currency were definitely disposed of
but the tariff always would be q great
question and the trusts and imperialism
were issues of to-day AS to trusts he
said that the study of history throughout
would show the tariff was the bastfIe of
the trusts.

SPENDS FORTUNE
ON PROSECUTION
r. E. de Lopez Fails to
Pay Mortgage on
MerriWa Farm.
Famous Stock-Raising Place
Will Pass to Livermore
Bank.
Oakland ONCE Sam Francisco can.

Ills Broadway. Dec. q.
r. L. de Lopez, proprietor OF the fam
Gus Merriwa Stock Farm, near Pleasan-
ton, was made the defendant In suit
brought to-day by the Bank Of Llvermore
for S23, 900, which is alleged to be due upon
a mortgage on the farm. The inability or
De Lopez to ltqUidate the mortgage ia
said to be due to the fact that he spent
a large part of his fortune i'm the effort
to send TO the penitentiary j. F. O'Brten
yr., who, was accused of an attack upon
his daughter, Nina de Lopez.
De Lopez mOrtgaged the property IN
l6yS, when he was in at1uent ctrcum-
stances and not worrying about his ca
pacity to pay his debts He made the
farm celebrated for the fast horses that
he raised there, and his dog kennels were
rated among the best in the world.
But in the midst of DE LOpez's pros
perity came sudden calamity. He was in
formed of O'Brien's attack on his daugh-
ter and he resolved that he would convict
prosecution and spent his money without
counting the cost The trials of young
O'Brien, of which there were two, cost
him thousands of dollars Opposed to him
who also spent a fortune in the defense
of their relative.
De Lopez has never been able to recu-
perate his losses He has made several
attempts to meet the interest demands
of the note to the bank, but all he has
been able to pay is $500. representing a.
series of six separate payments.
The De LOpeZes recently removed to
Australia. and since then have not made
any effort to pay off the debt that has
been hanging over the farm They left
before the third trial of o. Brien. who was
finally permitted to go free for lack OF
prosecution.
The Merriwa Stock Farm is part of the
Santa Rita rancho and was formerly the
property of the late Count Valensin,
Austrian nObleman. He was the owner OF
the stallion Sydney, which was famous in
his day as a breeder.
Upon the death of Count Valensin Judge
w +. Greene and II. H. Pitcher. his per-
SOnal friends, were appointed executors OF
his will. They discovered, however that
the estate was practically bankrupt The
executors are made cO-defendants with
the De LOpeZes in the suit of the bank.

and Transit, make their landings. AS it
plunged into the slip, several train hands

from being carried down with the heavily
laden car.
The accident occurred at Z o'clock. It
was not until after o'clock this morning
that the wrecking crew with their heavy
mechanical appliances had grappled the
sunken car and hauled it out of its OBJ
structing position III the slip. Meanwhile
the movement Of freight cars on TO the
boats was delayed.
The train was being run down to the
slip apron and got too much headway be-
fore it reached the end of the track. The
engineer managed to check the speed just
in time to prevent the string of cars from
going overheard
