RIO GRANpE EXTENSION.
VIII Build From Delta to Paonia by
October list.

Denver, April THE Republican
this morning says:
The contract for the North Fork
branch of the Denver 4 Rio Grande
has been let by Manager Herbert to
Deal Bros. & Mendenhan of Spring
vile, Utah. Construction work will
begin at once on line reaching the
fruit belt of western Colorado and
some coal lands.
There has been much speculation
over which company would first pene-
trate the rich territory along the north
fork of the Gunnson, the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company; or the Den
yer & Rio Grande. The Fuel compa-
ny own the Crystal River railroad run
ing from Carbondale south along the
Crystal river and into the rich mineral
territory which the river divides. Both
companies have had surveyors in the
field, and the Rio Grande has been do
ing some grading near the mouth of
the canon between Delta and Hotch-
kiss.
The first authoritative announcement
of the Rio Grande's plans was made
yesterday by Manager Herbert upon
his return from the trip of inspection
over the road taken with General Su-
perintendent Egan.
''The North Fork branch, for which
the contract was let,' said Mr.. Her
bert, will extend from Delta to Pao-
mia and points north to reach the coal
fields north of Paonia. 1t will go
through Hotchkiss, the greatest fruit
section of the western slope. We ex-
pect to have the road built as far as
Paonia, forty-five miles, by October
dst. The line will follow the north
fork of the Gunnison river and work
viii begin Immediately from Delta.
The total length, including the line
north of Paonia, will be fifty-five
miles. 1t will eventually be a broad
gauge road. There has been talk
whether the Crystal River road or the
Rio Grande would get into the country
there, but conjectures are now at resi-,
as we will push the road through with
all speed"

PATRICK SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Appeal May Not Be Decided Within a
Year.

year.
New York, April S.-Albert T. Pat
rick, who was convicted March 28th
Of the murder Of William Marsh Rice,
was sentenced yesterday by Recorder
Goff to be put to death in the electric
chair at Sing Sing May 5th. Rice died
in this city September 23, 1900 An ap-
peal to be made to the Court of Ap-
peals by PatriGk's counsel will act as
stay of execution pending a decision
by the higher court. The recorder, in
pronouncing sentence, made no COM
ment on the jury's verdict.
The recorder denied the motion for a
new trial. Mr.. House took an excep.
tion and moved for an arrest of judg-
ment. This was denied and sentence
was then pronounced by the recorder
The sheriff took Patrick to Sing Sing
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Patrick
was on the same train and will spend
much of her time at Ossining.
1t will require many months work to
make up this ease" for the Court of
Apeals to pass upon. More than 1000
typewriter pages of testimony were
taken by the stenographers at the trial,
and this will be condensed as fast as
possible, by agreement between the
prisoners counsel, the prosecuting at.
torney and the recorder 1t is doubt
full if the case will be in shape to be
sent to the highest court in the state
before the end of the summer. There
is slim chance that the Court of Ap-
peals will be able to take up the Pat
rick case inside of year. at least.
When the opinion is handed down fin
ally, Patrick will be brought to this
city again. II the conviction is sus-
n tr.t 1,n 1N,a, Ik
here for re-sentence, and in case the
Judgment is reversed and a new trial
granted. Patrick also will have a re-
lease, at least temporary, from the
Sing Sing death chamber.
The last session of the Legislature
passed law requiring that cases of
murder must be passed on by the Court
of Appeals within six months. As this
Dill did not pass until after Patrick's
conviction, it is question whether it
is applicable in his case

viii Invite the Prince.

New York. April There is the
highest authority for the statement
that the Chamber of Commerce of New
York will invite the Prince of Wales to
attend the dedication OF its new home
In August or September. Negotiations
of n semi-ofiiclnl character have been
under way for the last two months,
but nothing definite will be known un-
til May or June.
As mater OF fact. no formal invita-
tlon has yet been sent to the Prince OF
Wales. In spite OF statements to the
contrary. but such an invitation will
be forwarded. with every prospect Of
Its acceptance.

One of these convicts was in posses

they had captured between them and
the other guards, they started for the
outer court and freedom. Great ex
citement was caused and a general riot
among the convicts was at one time
imminent.
Two of the guards climbed on the
roof of a residence opposite the room
where the convicts were. and battle
with wincnesters ensued. Albert
Ransom, negro convict, was wound
ed, and Wallace Bishop. the leader OF
the revolt, was shot in the breast.
The convicts then surrendered.
