Recently Bought by the Missouri Pa.
cific System.

Sometime within the last few
weeks a deal in railroad property
/ was closed in st. Louis which af.
fects, to certain extent, the whole
of Southeast Missouri. and very
particularly the lead belt of this
county. This deal was the pur-
chase by the Missouri Pacific sys-
TEN of the whole of the NJ ississ;p;.i
River aud Bonnie Terre Railroad
properties. When :he deal was
closed is not known. nor is it
known when the property will be
turned over to the purchasers. As
is the custom with the Missouri
Pacific system, the purchase was
not heralded to the world, aud
only one or two very small para.
graphs crept into the newspapers.
However, il is common talk in st.
Louis, and fully bears out the pro.
gram which the Missouri Pacific
peop!: have followed ever since the
Southern Missouri was an assured
fact.
Before the latter railroad put in
It's appearance the Bonnie Terre
and Iron Mountain systems were
pronounced enemies, or pretended
to he, and to all intents and pur-
poses were But when the South
ern Missouri attempted to obtain a
rlght.Of way, the two former enc
mics hastily patched up a coalition
TO keep the new railroad out. Then
the Iron Mountain people suddenly
discovered that the grades on their
present main line were too steep to
be practicable, and Immediately
they sent out a surveying gang, to
locate more favorable line Il is
positively known now that this
line has actually been surveyed out
and established. 1t starts at Plat.
tin, n small station on the Bonnie
Terre railway and comes south,
missing Pennington by about n |
mile. Furthermore. this same line
opens up a part of Southeast Mis-.
souri, through which the great |
Frisco extensions will also run.
1t is easily seen that immense ad-
vantages will accrue to the Iron
Mountain system through their |
new purchase and the proposed |
new line. With this stone they will |
kill about sixteen birds, and they |
will only have to make one throw. |
Another thing which seemed to
portend II great scheme on the part |
of the Iron Mountain people, was
their refusal to make any kind of |
traffic arrangements with the cleo
trio railway. That they have in
view some way of bringing freight
direct to Pennington is self evil
dent.
These movements in railroad |
circles are not wonderful in the
least. They are simply natural |
result. The Iron Mountain system
is not asleep The entrance of the
southern Missouri into this county,
the network of lines being built by
the Frisco to the south of us, the
growth of this county and the i'm.
portauce of its traffic have forced
the Iron Mountain to take some
active steps.
The people Of this county are
Whiting for some sort of a settle
ment of this chaotic condition.
They want to see where the South
ern Missouri is; whether it will
cut freight rates from fifty cents to
thirty cents per hundred or not
And then the people want to know
what the Iron Mountain is going
to do. In other words the thing
desired is show down around the
whole table aud the best hand

Jersey City Revenue Officers Have a
Lively Time

Jersey CITY, April 2-While Rev.
enue Inspector Driscoll was on watch
at the end OF the Manhasset pier if
teen sailors started down the plank of
the Phoenix line steamship ST. Mich
olas, marching shoulder to shoulder,
with a quantity Of Sumatra tobacco
concealed in their pockets.
Driscoll. who suspected their inten-
ticn, called upon them to halt In
stead the fifteen men at once set upon
the revenue officer and, throwing him
to the ground. began kicking him. The
noise of the scutfie brought the other
government agents to the scene and
the smugglers at once broke for the
street
Then ensued a desperate struggle
between the revenue men and the
smugglers. The former, seeing that
they We're greatly outnumbered, drew
their revolvers and poured after the
escaping smugglers rain of shots,
which awakened the neighborhood and
drew big crowd to the scene.
On a dead run the sailors made for
the end of the pier with the officers in
full pursuit. Nest of the smugglers
carried knives. which they drew men
acingly as they neared the crowd
which had gathered to intercept them
dashed through the crowd as it gave
way, all but three of them escaping
The prisoners We're at once taken back
to the end of the pier, where a search
revealed fifteen pounds of tobacco
valued at about $50, in their pockets.

DISTURB ANCE Is SERIOUS
REVOLT IN NORTHERN ALBANIA
CAUSES GENERAL ALARM.
Heavy Turkish Reinforcements Or
dered to the Scene to Suppress
the Rebellion.

Constantinople. April "Details Of
the disturbances in North Albania
show shat the revolt which has broken
out there against the reform scheme
of the powers is very serious dis
turbance. Several thousand armed
Albanians surrounded the town OF
Vucsteen, on the MitrovitZa- Uskub
railroad, March 30, and demanded the
surrender of eleven Servian gem
darmes who had been enlisted in ac-
cordance with the reform plans. The
governor surrendered the Servians,
who were bound and taken to Pris-
tina, after having been maltreated. A
number of the Servian inhabitants
and bands of AlbanianS later surround
sued with the Turkish garrison, con
sisting of 5000 troops. The fighting
continued until March 80, when the
AlbanianS finally were repulsed with
great loss. Heavy reinforcements
have been ordered from the vilayet OF
Adm, Asia Minor, and other places To
the scene of the outbreak in order tt
suppress the rebellion.
The Albanian rising has caused a
panic among the Christians of old
Servia, who are fleeing towards Ser.
via.
A panic has occurred at Prilep in
consequence of the growing fanaticism
OF the Albanians against the Chris
tians The latter have closed their
shops and schools and are preparing
to seek refuge at Monastir. Numbers
of Christians have been murdered in
the Prilep district during the last few
days.
Considerable apprehension is felt at
the Russian embassy for the safety
of NJ St. Cherbina, the consul of Rus
ala at MitrOvitZa.
