Wonderful Growth Of the Railroad In
the Past Ten Years.

Since the publication of the October

GRIFFITH'S AMIABLE MOOD.
''On Thursday afternoon Mr.. Griffith
came down to the beach, as he was in
the habit Of doing, about or o'clock.
He usually came down at that time and
went out driving for the purpose of ex-
ercising the horses We were to return
TO The city on Friday morning. Mr.. Grif-
fth said he would not take the horses
out that evening and we went for walk.
We walked to the plunge and sat there
a while and then went out. At a curio
store we stopped and bought some souve-
mir postal cards, and Mr.. Griffith remark
ed that he would mail one to an uncle.
After coming out Of the bath house
said: 1t is warm; let US get into the
air Mr.. Griffith remarked that I had
better go up and commence packing and
he would go over and call on Wiley
Wells. I went on TO our room at the
hotel and began to pack. After while
Mr.. Griffith came in and said he would
help me- He folded up a coat and pair
Of trousers Of his and 1 told him not to
mind the little things in the dresser
drawer, I would attend 10 them.

had been pleased by all his actions to-
ward me on that day. AS we were
packing he picked up my prayer book

that he looked peculiar as he asked the

Macedonian leaders saying

bringing about war between Turkey and
Bulgaria or obtain European Intervention
they intend to blow up the Macedonian

A dispatch to the Tageblatt from Con-
stantinople, dated to-day, says:
War with Bulgaria is in sight. The
Council of War has recommended send
ing an amended ultimaturn to Bulgaria,
but the Sultan has decided to wait. II
is rumored that Turkish troops have al

without a declaration Of war.

This extraordinary statement was COM

to whether German marines were among
those reported by United States Minister
Leischman as having landed at Constan-

1t is inferred. however, that the condi-

bad as the Sultan's notification would
imply, but that the legations have been

The foreign officials added that the Ger

nounced the arrival of the Brooklyn and
San Francisco al that port. No word has
been received from the Machias, which
was due at Port Said to-day. 1t is ex-
pected that a report from Ieishman will
reach Washington over night, and upon
its nature will depend the action by the
State Department as to the further pro-
lection of the American legation and Con-
sui General in Constantinople.
Until Leishman advises the authorities
here that the Sultan is unable to cope
with the situation and that the legation
and consulate are consequently endan-
gered the State Department does not feel
warranted in calling on the Navy De
partment for ships to proceed to the Dar-
danelles.
To inquiries at the State Department
as to international difficulties in the way
of this Government going to the rescue
of its citizens in Constantinople. the state
ment was made that the United States
would not be prevented by any existing
treaty taking adequate measures for the
protection of the legation and Consulate
General in Constantinople.
Until the gravity of the situation war

does not wish to announce its plan Of

was issued the officers anticipated no diff

about the streets all day, acting as IL
nothing unusual had happened and re-

his story of last night to the effect that
the shooting of his wife was accidental
He went about his business like a man
who had not a care. He had been in
formed of the intention of his wife's rel
atives TO cause his arrest but stated that
that did not worry him.
Later in the afternoon, however. he
disappeared. 1t was learned subsequently,
that he had gone into retirement at the
solicitation of his attorneys, not with any
view to evade arrest, but because his ar
torneys told him that his manner was
being taken by the people as a brazen
exhibition OF unconcern as to the fate of
his wife, and, while they said they knew

HEAVY BAIL FIXED.

Griffith was represented by Attorney
T D. Silent. He asked that the service
Of the warrant be delayed until Mon
1dav for the reason that despite his great
wealth Il would be inconvenient for Mr..
Griffith to give $4,000 bail at that hour,
and unless he could give the bail required
he would be obliged to remain in jail
until Monday.
In response to this request Assistant
District Attorney James insisted that the
warrant be served Immediately if pos
sible.
This man is accused Of one Of the
most serious Of crimes" he said 1t
is no fault OF his that the charge is not
that Of wife murder. We consider that ne

he is at large he is a menace not only
TO his wife, but TO others and we insist
that the law take its course"
II was ordered that the warrant be
served and the instrument was placed in
the hands Of detectives.
When. at their conference this morning
the relatives Of Mrs. Griffith expressed
the desire that Griffith be prosecuted,

were. Accordingly her brother went to
