RAILROADS in 1901.
Over 5000 Miles of New Road Were
Constructed in United States.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The Railway Age
states that, keeping pace with the gem
eral prosperity of the country, railway
building in the United States during the
year just closed has exceeded that of
any previous year since 1890, when 5,67O
rifles OF new line were completed. and
the record of that year might have been
surpassed had the steel mills been able
to furnish the necessary rails. Our rec

thus far received anc with a number OF
lines yet to hear from, not less than s.
O57 miles OF track have been laid on 332
lines in forty-three states and terrific

change and reports of extensive disas-
ters. Option trading at the coffee ex-
change rose far above the quiet condi-
tons of recent years. Expanding crops
Of sugar had the effect of lowering
prices, while competition caused a still
larger fall in the finished product, to
the great benefit of the consumers. Pc
troleum was less ~fuctuating, the ex-
tremes of the year being SO and 1865
cents for refined in barrel cargoes. Elk
tensive fields in the south were devel-
oped, which tended to hold prices down.
Exports of the staple products reached a
new high record, Notwithstanding he
lower average prices of oil and cotton
and the scarcity of corn. The crop year
opened with a new record of wheat and
flour exports, amounting to 34,l3O,3S0
bushels in August, far surprising any
previous month, while for five months
ending Nov. 80 the aggregate was 1885,
92S, 162 bushels.
Bank R~ecords-In the year of big
things it was natural that new high rec
ords should be recorded in deposits and
leans. Financing of big syndicate oper-
ations and unparalleled stock market
dealings combined to raise the total OF
loans and discounts to s914, 632. 900 on
Feb. 16, against ss25, $50, 600 on Sept. 10,
1900. the top point Of that year. On the
same date deposits attained their zenith
at $1,011, 1923, 600, compared with $914,S10.-
300 on March 4. 1899, the record prior to
1901. AT the time of more than a bill
ion deposits the banks only held in act
ual cash $685., 6S4, 700, or $12, 1921 $50 above
the rs per cent legally required. On
March 2 there was a new deposit record
of $1.O12, 514, 900, but loans did not attain
their maximum until March 8, at $685.

Price of Silver-The year 1901 brought
almost a uniform decline in silver thru
cut the entire period, eliminating in
sales during December at 24.94d in Lon
don and "a cents at New York. 1t is
found that but two months on record,
August and September, 1897, found this
metal selling as low. At that time The
bottom was reached at 23A, or about 2
cents an ounce lower than the low rec
ord of 1901.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The year in the
livestock Industry has been the great

highest prices prevailing of any year
in the history of the country. The crop

Is the Fremont woman mistaken?

from F. A. Seaman early in January, is
not over 80 years of age.
Chief of Police Melon, who saw the
man when he was arrested here, puts
his age at 33 or 35, tho 1T might be
more. How could man of 35 have been
married twenty three years? VIII it

Davenport. Feb. 19.-The Davenport
Mems Association held a special met
ing yesterday and adopted resolutions
deploring the fresh agitation in regard
to the labor conditions at Rock Island
arsenal as prejudicial to the employees
at the arsenal and the interest of the
surrounding community. The resolu-
lions declare belief that the charge
that Commandant Blount has discrim-
mated against union labor is I'M
founded, and that his retention will be
beneficial to the government and it's
employees. A committee was appointed
to present these views to the authors
ties at Washington, either by letter or
by sending delegation there. A COM
mittee appointed by employees of the
harness shop at the arsenal yesterday
circulated a paper, which was signed
by all the 1875 employees of that depart
ment, disclaiming desire for Major
Biout's removal and asking the bust
ness associations of the tri- cities to in
vestigate the charges preferred by the
machinists' union. Similar action was
taken in other departments.

Russell Given Freedom.

Sioux City, Feb. 19.-Joseph Russell
accused of killing Sam Stark, walked
out of police court this morning a free
man. Judge Munger having decided
that under the evidence adduced at the
preliminary hearing last week Russell
could not be held to the grand jury.
The court went even further than
that and in a written opinion stated
he belived the defendant acted purely
in lf-defense; that the quarrel
which resulted in the Staying of
Stark was not of the defendants seek
ing and that Russell had reason to be-
lieve the deceased and his friends had
designs upon his life, limb and prop
erty.
There were but few spectators in
the court room when Judge Munger
rendered his decision. Russell. who
has maintained a calm, almost indif-
ferent demeanor since the night he
killed Stark, was in court accompan-
led by his attorney. Justice Ferris. He
listened intently to the court as the
reading proceeded, but not SO much as
by smile did he indicate his pleas
ure at the successful outcome of the
case At the conclusion of the courts
Russell's attorney thanked
Judge Munger for his courtesy and
shook his client by the hand. Rus
sell said nothing, but, turning. resumed
his coat and hat and walked out of

IN open court Clay's attorneys took the
usual precaution in cases of this kind

attorneys asked for permission to ac-

court informed them that their accep-
lance came too late. After confer
