New York. May Avail street was
treated to fresh sensation yesterday
one not pleasant to the small and un-
wary Spectator. The boom" which
has been sending prices sky-high was
still on. Trading, as usual, had been
fast and furious. Atchison, st. Paul,
Missouri Pacific and other favorite
shares had been rolling up accretions
Of paper value.
Suddenly there was a drop. The
break began with Union Pacific. For
little while it looked as II the bottom
had dropped out of the market and the
grip Of the money powers that rule was
lost.
With one sharp, sudden swoop prices
fell from two to ten points. Small op-
orators were scared. There was a rush
to sell to save losses. The turmoil on
the floor of the exchange, always great.
became fiendish.
The tumble in prices was over almost
as soon as 1t began. Big owners who
were looking for bargains picked up
what they wished out Of the wreck,
and prices soon steadied. Then they
reacted nearly two points. In most
cases the active stocks In demand re-
sumed their upward movement. Unde-
sirable securities remained stationary
and others gagged Oh.

DENVER TRAMWAY COMPANY
MAY BUILD MANY NEW LINES

Denver, Colo, May 4.-The News
prints an Interview with w. G. Evans,
secretary OF the Denver City Tramway
Company in regard to the company's
contemplated plans to build electric
lines to a number of neighboring
towns as well as to the foothills west
of Denver. The News says:
Denver to Boulder, through Louis
Vile, Lafayette and northern coal
fields.
Denver to Lookout mountain.
Denver, up the Platte valley through
and beyond LittletOn.
Denver down the Platte valley as far
at least as Brighton.
These are four lines of electric rail-
way the Denver City Tramway Com
pany proposes building. Surveyors
are already in the field at work on the
nBoulder line, and it will be the first
3 be completed. The directors and Of
fees of the company have under con-
~sidN ntion the construction of the new
hneH. In one of the greatest schemes
for urban and suburban improvement
yet proposed to the directorate.
The line from Boulder will do a gen.
eral freight business, acting as a com
mon carrier. 1t VIII bring coal to

mines, towns and settlements it passes
through. In every sense it will be an
electric railway.
I'VE are discussing a large amount
of new construction" said w. G.
Evans, secretary. 1.-THE city and state
1sgrowlng rapidly and we are endeav-
oring to keep pace. The lines under
consideration now are: First, through
Louisville and the coal fields to Boul-
der; second, line going directly west
and coming into Denver over either
the Sixteenth street or Larimer street
viaduct, to Lookout mountain, south
Of Golden; third, line up the Platte
valley through and beyond Littleton,
and fourth, down the Platte valley as
far, at least. rs Brighton.
Probably the first line we will act
upon, and for witch we have q survey
party now In the field, is the road to
Boulder. We think that with frequent
running, quick schedule, comfort
able trolley cars reaching the farming
district to the north of Denver, the coal
mines and the Chautauqua at Boulder

CARNIVAL OF BLOODY
DEEDS In DENVER

Denver, Colo. May 4.-I.ast night
was one of blOodshed in Denver. Fol-
owing one another, with but little time
Intervening, Were three sho0tings. One
resulted in death; two men are in pre-
carious conditions. one likely to die.
Hugh Masterson. trumpeter in Com
pany NJ, Twenty-third infantry, and a
half dozen companions came into the
city last evening from Fort Logan to
.''.have time" and incidentally, II talk
OF companions is true, to clean out"
the police force.
In trivial row in Fat Hickey's sa-
loon at Twenty-first and Market. Mas
tersOn shot and fatally wounded the
bartender, William True. Policemen
arrested Mnsterson and his compan-
ions. At the alley between Twenty
first and Twenty-second and Market
and Larimer streets AIasterson tried to
make his escape.
Three policemen, Slack, Richie and
Alford-fired at the fleeing soldier.
Hnlf way up the alley the trumpeter
was picked up, dead. A bullet from
the revolver Of one of the officers had
crashed into the back of his head, PEN
etrating the brain and causing instant
death.
Mrs. H. P. Perry began yesterdays
slootings early In the evening. De-
liberately, and without showing the
least sign of her Intention, she walked
into place called "Harry's Restau-
rant Mt Seventeenth and Welton and,
awaiting her opportunity, sent a bull
let crashing through the head Of her
son-in-law, James II. Devore, who may
die Of the wound.

| but for the parties building the rail-
road.
I'VE find there is an immense
amount of pleasure travel in Denver
and vicinity; that new line would un-
doubleday be profitable investment.
The Lookout mountain line is an ideal
thing: add to 1t the fact that the city
will be approached over one Of the
viaducts and you have Il ride that can
not be surpassed.
"All the details and arrangements
are not yet made. nor have the exact
routes been decided; so far, the prop
osition has met with very favorable
consideration. We will know definite
ly in II short while. The means are at
hand to build all four lines; there will
be no hunt for money.
I'VE shall have to carry on the con-
struction through sub-company,
probably called the Denver Trolley
Railroad Company, or by similar
name. 1t will be owned by the Tram
way, of course. and the lines built by
1t will practically amount TO Tramway
construction. The recently incorpor-
ated power company will not enter
! into 1t save to furnish power anywhere
along these lines to plants, factories,
towns, etc, and electrical current to
the new extensions as well us to the
Tramway in the city.
1.-The run from Denver to Lookout
mountain will be considerably less
than an hour. The completion of the
road will result in n popular summer
resort. Lookout mountain is a plateau
with splendid lookout and l under.
stand the resort to be built will an
swer all requirements. 1t is one of the
most attractive and easily reached
mountain places near the city.
"The line as mapped out will be al
most due west. The Denver, Lake
wood and Golden road has been men
toned in this connection, but we will
have nothing to do with 1t, as the
gauge of Its track is much larger than
that of the Tramway. 1t is four feet
eight and one-half inches, while ours
Is three feet six inches. The gauge OF
all our new lines will follow that il
use in the city.
"Our general extensions will be con
tinued. Eventually the Lookout
mountain line will be extended tc
Idaho Springs"

PLAINTIFFS EVIDENCE
In THE STRONG SUIT

Denver, Colo, May 4.-The evidence
of the witnesses has covered all the
points outlined by the lessees Of the
Strong mine In their suit for damages
against Sam Strong. The rest of the
evidence submitted by the plaintiffs
will bic merely corroborative. 4

fered this, testimony at the trials Of

Charles Maher testified that crowd
of women and children was present at
the destruction of the shaft house
When asked directly II he believed Sam
Strong guilty of the charges made
against him, Maher said: 1--WE no
opinion; that's for the jury to decide"
Maher testified that he would have
shot the deputy sheriffs had they
made their appearance.
Ondrew Short, who testified that he
had been arrested for blowing up the
mine and kept In Jail for five weeks,
said that he saw Allen and MunfOrd
roll key of powder down the hill to-
ward the Strong mine and that n cop
per wire that was coiled around 1t un-
wrapped us they did so.
William Maher and Peter Brennan
told much the same story as the 9TH
ers. Maher said he was induced to
come to this trial by Mick" Tullly. He
was to be paid S. day and his ex-
penses for his services. The fact that
he did not mention anything about his
knowledge Of the explosion at the
trials Of Lyons and Tully was brought
out by the attorney.
Brennan said that he had been ar
rested "lots of times" for drunkenness
and fighting.
Y AS did nearly all the other witnesses,
he stated that he was afraid to go to
Colorado Springs for fear of being ar
rested.
This statement called for the ques-
ton from Attorney Goudy:
Ibid someone tell you to say that? 2"
The witnes denied the insinuation.
Brennan first told the story to
nick" Tully in n saloon last Febru-
Eary and at Tully's request made IN af-
fdnvit n month ago. Questions con-
corning the parties to the suit ELECTED

did not know until week ago that
Strong was accused of planning the de-
lstruction of the mine.
