BOB MC GRATH HAS S|0,OOO.
Stands Ready to Invest it in a
 New Hotel.

The We'll Known Retired Cafe Propri- etor Makes a Wiling to Plank Up the $10,O0O if He is Given the Bar Privileges
 If the people who have been talking about building hotels in this city and who have had column after column printed about various sites and even had plans prepared, are really in ear- nest and are not -four dushing," there l is $1O,OO0 on tap that they can have at any time they prove to the giver that they mean business. This $10,- 900 is not notes or promises, either, nor is it hot air. A check for the amount named will be placed in the hands of the proprietor of the Demo- crat at any time the parties prove that they mean to build hotel. This check will be honored, too, and by any bank in this city. The gentleman who wishes to invest this amount of mon-
 ey is we'll known in this city and his name is Robert McGrath, familiarly known as "Bob,' and now a retired business man.
 There are conditions, however, | the money is invested in hotel Bob McGrath is as well known probably l as any man who ever conducted cafe in New England. He has been in bus mess in this city for years and through a strict afl2ation to that business and
 courteous treatment of all his
 friends and patrons he has amassed I comfortable fortune. It was his in l tention to retire from active business l life, but owing to the sad misfortune which befell him short time ago in the death of his wife, he decided to
 again enter business and give up all
 thoughts of taking a long tour. To that end he offers to invest $1OOOO in
 any hotel that is to be built in this city l if he is given the bar privileges. He
 is willing to assume the management of the saloon connected with such a hotel or he will take percentage and
 conduct the same. He will invest the
 money under these conditions if the parties who are to build hotel prove
 that they are on the level.
 l Here is an opportunity for some of those who have been talking hotel
 The bar privileges will have to be as-
 sumed by someone or there will have
 to be a manager for the same. There could be no better selection, for Bob
 McGrath is known from east to west
 and from north to south by travelling men and particularly by theatrical folks. He said this afternoon that the first parties who proved to him that they intended to build a good ho- tel and who would accept any of the
 conditions named could have his $10,- | GOO in two minuteS

Marquis de Mores Met Death on an
 Exploring Expedition.
 Tunis, July 22.-At the second day of the trial of El Kheira and Hamma Chiekh, charged with the murder of the Marquis de Mores in 1896, Colonel Rebillet was the first witness, and the testimony of General Laroque was read. Both officers declared, that they sought to dissuade the marquis from starting on the expedition which re- suited in his death. De Mores said to General Laroque: 1T am only risking my own life, and that is my business"
 The general replied: But the failure of your expedition may retard our pen etration into the Sahara for ten or twenty years.'
 Colonel Rebillet testified that the marquis promised to take the road to Bir Es-Sol, but he did not keep his word and proceeded in the direction of Tripoli. His death, according to the witness, was due to a false idea of the chivalrous character of the Toureges. whereas they were treacherous and bloodthirSty. .

AN OPEN SWITCH.
Allowed Two Trains to Crash ana
 Several Were Injured.


 Cleveland. O., July 22.-Three rail way employees and a woman passen- ger, Mary Mimms of Columbus, were severely injured in a wreck on the Cleveland & Pittsburg railway at Hud- son, Ohio, last night. An open switch allowed the west bound Pittsburg ny CT to crash into an east bound freight which stood upon the siding.
 Only the fact that the passenger train was moving under a reduced speed of something like 20 miles an hour prevented the complete telescop- ing of both trains and the wholesale destruction of the lives of hundred or more passengers.
 As it was the engines were tele- scoped, the baggage and express cars of the passenger train derailed, four persons were injured severely and many others were bruised, cut with glass broken from the windows by the shock, and entirely panic stricken by the experience.

HUSTL|NG BUSINESS MEN.
Made Path Clear For Govern
 ment Inspector Crane.

Raised Money Enough to Buy Up
 Property-The Government Building Is Slated for Grand Street-All on the Anxious Seat Until Cranes Re-
 port is Received. A prominent business man in this city said yesterday that undoubtedly the public building would be erected on the Grand street and Cottage place site. He was interested somewhat in the location of the public building and when asked to assist in selecting the site he voluntarily consented to act He refused positively to pay the price demanded by some of the prop erty owners for their locations, or rather he refused to render any as- sistance to such property owners in disposing of their land at what he considered an exorbitant figure. He had no ax to grind himself and it was mainly through his persuasion that the property now selected was se- cured
 Edward A. Crane. the agent sent here by the government, was himself much impressed with the Cottage place and Grand street site, but he first demanded as a front for the build l ing larger number of feet than was bargained for. He also asked for | fifty foot driveway on the Cottage end of the building. This was easily Rgained by taking off enough off the lot. Then the agent asked for forty | feet on the other side of the building and here is. where the hitch came. In order to give that forty feet it svas
 necessary first to purchase the Peck | property. The price asked for this
 property was $1SO00. That was just l $1S,000 more than the government
 would pay for site for public build- | ing. Those interested in securing the public building at this locality were in
 quandry and were about to give up | in disgust when the business man in question advised them to look up the
 owners of property on Grand street
 who would be benefited by the build-
 ing and see what they would do. In
 less than'an hour the $1S,000 had been
 raised by subscriptions of property
 owners in the vicinity, who contribut- | ed from $500 to $2000 each. That
 being settled, the agent at once said
 that the terms were satisfactory and
 he would so report to the postal au-
 thorities at Washington. Of course | 1t does not mean thSS&6he site has been
 determined upon for sure but it has
 always been the custom to accept the
 site recommended by the agent sent | out and the Grand street and Cottage l place site was the recommendation of 1 Agent Crane.

Peculiar Idea of Law

The sheriff last Tuesdayreceived a
letter from Chas. Carpenter up at
Wise informing him that the divorce
suit recently brought by Mrs. Carpen-
ter was to be pulled off. Mrs. Car
penter in long petition rather gave
Charles a bad character as a husband
and father. He was served notice of
the suit and enjoined from disposing
of his property which his wife claimed
a goodly share in. With his letter he
sent back the summons and the injunc-
ton, thinking doubtless that ne could
thus annul their force He stated that
his wife is back, has forgiven him and
all is made up. The divorce will
still grow to maturity until Mrs. Car
penter herself stops the wheels.
