JAIL QUARANTINED
The Workings Of the Court
Greatly Impeded by
Prevalence of
Smallpox.
TRIALS MUST WAIT
No Prisoners Can Be Dis
charged and Transfers to
Other Institutions
Are Delayed.

The appearance of smallpox in the
county Jail again will seriously interfere
with the workings of the county Grim
inal events. No trials of prisoners con-
fined in the Jail will take place until the
quarantine Of the institution established
by direction of County Physician Com
verse on Sunday is removed Prisoners
whose terms expire cannot be released,
and those now in Jail awaiting removal
to other institutions to which they have
been sentenced. cannot be taken away.
Among the latter are August Marks and
Emil Wagner, who attempted to break
jail on the morning of January n last.
Marks was to have been removed yester-
day to State prison to commence the
service of the two-year term to which he
was sentenced The Federal authorities
who wanted him for breaking into the
Edgewater, n. T., postoffiee last Decem-
Der, had arranged to have Marks plead
guilty and be sentenced for this crime
while he was in. Trenton on his way to
State prison. The prisoner had consented
to thi4 arrangement, and his term on the
Unit>d States charge was TO begin at the
exeiration of his two years for jail break
ing.
Wagner also was to have been removed
to State prison yesterday, but both must
now wait until the quarantine Of the Jail
Is removed.
AS at the time of the previous out
break of the disease, Judge Blair will
probably deduct from sentence of all such
prisoners the time they are obliged to
spend in the county jail, SO they will lose
nothing by it. But the prisoners now In
the institution whose terms expire during
the continuance of the quarantine, will be
sufferers. They will be obliged to re-
main, the authorities holding that they
can quarantine a man in the Jail as well

p,aved the mischief with the pumping
station of the East Jersey Water Com
pany at Little Fails, the company today
turned on water for Jersey City from the
Oak Ridge reservoir
The water enters the mains just below
the reservoir and there is an abundant
supply. This arrangement is only tenn
porary. When the company can get its
Passaic plant at Little Falls in running
order again, and that they expect will
be in a few days, the supply from OAK
Ridge will be discontinued.
Somehow the rumor was circulated in
this city yesterday that the recently COM
pleted filtration plant of the East Jersey
Water Company had been utterly de-
stroyed The plant cost S800,000 to build.
This is not true, the company's agent in
this city reported Some damage to it
has of course been done, but nothing OF
very serious nature.
The company's engineers are consulting
with the agents of Mr.. Patrick H. Flynn
and the Jersey City Water Supply Conn
pany for the turning into the latter COM
pany's pipes, this side of the Watching
Mountain, the supply to be delivered 10

TO BUILD NEW LINE.

A closer traffic arrangement between

A party OF prominent Rock Island off,
Gals in company with several officials
of the Mexican Central have made
trip of inspection over portion of the
Mexican Central road, going as far
south from Ell Paso as the City of
Mexico. In the party were C. B. Eddy.
C. D. Simpson, III. H. Brady, e. L. Fox.
H. r.. Nickerson, vice president and
general manager of the Mexican Cen
trail, E. E. Styner, general superintend-
ent and c. r. Hudson, general passenger
and freight agent.
A. A. Robinson, president of the Mex
lean Central, while at his home in To-
peka recently was in conference with
E. w. Thompson, assistant general
passenger agent of the Rock Island. 1t
was believed by some that this confer
ence was in some way connected with
the plans of closer passenger traffic
arrangement, although it was denied by
those who were in a position to know
1t is intimated that the capitalists
who are interested in the American
road may become interested in a finan-
cial way in the proposed construction
that it is said is under consideration
by the Mexican Central to place itself
in a position to counterbalance the adj
vantage gained by the Mexican Nation
al in securing the short line to Mexico.
1t is also said that in event the Rock
Island people BACK tnlS new cons lruc-
ton work they will also invest heavily
in Mexican Central securities
The FL Paso Times says:
THAT the Central is confronted with
a dangerous and serious rival since the
National has broadened it's gauge and
made connections at the border, giving
it by far the shortest route to Mexico
City, is everywhere conceded, and the
road proposes to enter into construc-
ton that will make it possible to COM
pete for through business.
THE recent requirement Of the con-
cession for a road to Tampico from
the city in conjunction with the line
from Tampico to Monterey will make
it possible, by building from some
convenient point on the Monterey
Antonio, Texas, to compete for all
through business and give the Central
the shortest route from Chicago or
eastern points to the City of Mexico.
1T is positively known that the Mex
lean Central will build from conven-
lent point on the Monterey & Gulf, but
whether this connection will touch at
Laredo or be built to San Antonio is
not settled Which way it does go mat
tiers little, as the fact is self-evident
that Ell Paso will lose much by the new
route. None of the through business
will come through this port, but will go
over the short route.
What, if any, relation the visit at
this time of the officials who went to
Mexico has with the proposed extern
sions of the Central is unknown, but
many seem to think that they are on ~
trip to investigate the merits of the
new route and will be among those ask
ed to put up necessary capital"

A. A. RoBINsoN's FIGHT.
How He Got Possession of the Royal
Gorge Years Ago.

In a recent issue of the Denver Post
an interesting story is told about A. A.
possession of Toltec Gorge.
Mr.. Robinson at that time was one of
the chief engineers in charge of the Santa
Fe workmen who captured and held the
gorge from the Rio Grande company. Col.
D. G. Dodge headed the latter forces, and
now both of these veteran railroad men
are the best Of friends. The struggle was
for the possession of the Grand Canyon
of the Arkansas river, just beyond Can
yon City, and it began April 10, 1878.
Both companies were watching each
other with the liveliest interest each
feared the other would make sudden
move and acquire valuable right of
way. The Rio Grande people had pos
session of the telegraph lines and discov-
cred by deciphering the Santa Fe dis
patches that they were about to make a
sudden dash into the canyon. A spirited
SCRABBLE for precedence ensued. Trains
were refused che Santa Fe officials by
the Rio Grande company to take them to
the spot

surveying engineers, was telegraphed at

La Junta, to take an engine and run with
outrun the Rio Grande forces to Canyon
City. He obeyed and arrived in Pueblo
at o'clock on the morning of the 18th.
He was refused the use of locomotive
and secured swift horse with which to
cover the forty-ive miles intervening. The
Rio Grande had made arrangements to
send a force Of 10c laborers to the canyon
early that morning. Morley felt that he
must at all hazards beat the Rio Grande
into Canyon City, and saving few hours
start, 1t was simply a question of endur-
ance. Within few minutes of the goal
the horse fell dead and Morley ran the
remainder of the way at the top of his
speed. Arriving in Canyon City he gath
cred force of $50 men and took pos
session of the canyon half an hour before
the Rio Grande forces arrived Each COM
pany had grading and fighting force in
the canyon Engineers with gangs of
graders seized every available point in
the narrow gorge below and above. Ar
rests became matters of daily occurrence
and it looked If bloodshed would fol-
low. The Santa Fe sued out writ of
injunction in the local court and both
companies were ordered to cease working
until the case was decided. The court
held that both companies could build
roads through the canyon. An agreement
was reached by the companies which re-
suited in the possession of the road by
the Rio Grande.
