The Sierra Tunnel.

Ogden Standard: Railroad sur
veyors are at work in the foot
hills near Auburn, Placer county,
Cal, in the employ of the Southern
Pacific, in preparation for the
tunnel through the Sierra Nevada.
Weather conditions are favorable
and the work is to be expedited.
Recently, surveys were complet-
ed for a tunnel through the noun
tains and the data is about ready for
submission to Mr.. Hartman. The
new surveys are supplemented.
They contemplate a number of
changes.
In a general way it is known
that a tunnel about $4,000 feet in
length is to be bored. The OPEN
ing at either end will be at an alti-
tude Of not less than 5000 feet. 1t
is the intention to cut off some
1900 feet from the heights the Cen
trail Pacific has to climb. The work
is estimated at something like $40,
100000.
Mr.. Hartman thinks passenger
train time can be reduced between
San Francisco and New York to
three and a half days. He is said
to figure on sixty-four hours be-
tween San Francisco and Chicago.
This will mean 36.5 miles per hour
without including stops, for a dis
lance of 2.;340 miles. The Wander
biIdt and Pennsylvania roads are
already running on a twenty-four
hour schedule between New York
and Chicago. For the entire dis
tancc of $3.50 miles between San
Francisco and New York, an eighty
four-hour schedule will mean thirty
nine miles an hour without allow
ing for stops. The Pennsylvania
twenty-hour trains between Chi
cago and New York actually run
forty-fve miles an hour, and those
on the Vanderbilt line forty-eight
miles an hour.
When this and other improve
ments are completed to San Fran
cisco it means a trip from Ogden
to the coast in from twenty-five to
twenty-seven hours.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, Oct. 4.-The October
term. of the Madison Circuit Court, which
promises to be one of the most important
in recent years, on account of the fact
that three murderers are awaiting trial. will
begin Monday morning. What promises to
be the most sensational case tried will be
that of A. j. Baker, who shot and killed
Fred Kizer on the street here month ago.
Despite repeated threats that they intended
making an effort TO have their client ad-
mitted to bail, Bakers attorneys have done
nothing Of the kind, and he has been held
a prisoner since the night Of the tragedy,
although no formal charge has yet been
placed against him. Kizer's wife, who is
generally supposed to have been the cause
of the trouble between the men, which
dated back for several years, has left the
State, it Is said, to avoid appearing at
Bakers trial.
Dona Tilman, former Elwood colored
cook. who stabbed John Torrance at Alex
andria last summer, <and George Stroud
known as the Madison county desperado,
who killed Joe Yotus in a saloon fight at
OresteS, six miles east of Elwood, are the

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Oct. 4.-The
consideration paid for the oil and gas hold
ings of the American Window Glass Com
pany, as reported in the first dispatches. is
incorrect. From a reliable source here it is
known that the price was $1,50O000 and a
two years contract with the purchaser
TO supply gas TO its Indiana factories at 10
cents per thousand feet The price paid
is not regarded exorbitant as the tract
is regarded as the cream of the Indiana
gas and oil territory. The largest acreage
is in this and Grant counties. This sale
only embraces the Indiana property and
the window glass trust still owns valuable
leases in the Monongahela valley and the
mountain districts OF Pennsylvania.
