WABASH TO CONE HERE
BY OLD FRANCHISE
May Use Abandoned South
ern Maryland Tracks.
DEALINGS WITH THE GoULDS
Line Can Be Built to Washington From
Point on Western Maryland Fif-
teen Miles Distant.

Facts were made public this morning
which indicate that the Wabash Rail-
road has been planning quietly to enter
Washington by utilizing one of the sew
eral ancient franchises that have been
lying around in attorneys offices in
Maryland for half a century, instead of
one Of those recently acquired by new
ly organized companies.
IL was statedA positively this morning
that negotiations are now going on In
New York between the Goulds for the
Wabash, and Henry @. Watson, of Phil
adelphia, for the old Baltimore. Wash
ington, and Potomac and the Southern
Maryland. which I'D TO a few dsvs ago
was supposed 10 be a component p4rt of
the Chesapeake Beach Railroad, looking
TO the sale of the franchise OF the Bal
umore. Washington and Potomac and
the Southern Maryland to the Wabash
Franchise Thi-ty-five Years Old.
The franchise was granted in 1858, and
under charter obtained in 1855 work
on the system, which was to be c;serat-
ed between point in Prince George
county and town in St Mary, was
begun The franchise proved to be par
ucularly valuable, because it gave the

double-track line was constructed from
Chesapeake Junction to the Baltimore

ing was completed for the Southern
Maryland from Chesapeake Junction to
a point within fifteen miles OF the West

Goulds. Then work was abandoned and
the property was allowed TO deteriorate.
Chesapeake Beach Road Ousted.
The officers OF the Chesapeake Beach
Railroad took possession of the South
eTn Maryland tracks to haul material
from the Baltimore and Ohio, and when
their line had been completed they de-
cided that. as, apparently. no one want
ed the abandoned tracks. they would
retain possession. The tracks We're re-
paired and the Chesapeake Beach road
used them until few days ago, when
the Supreme Court of the District de-
cided that 1t had no right to the prop
erty.
In the meantime the Philadelphia
owners of the line began the negotia-
tions with the Goulds which, IL was

far that il IS now simply a question OF

Think Congress Should
Sit Till Cuban Bill Has
Been Acted On.
ACTION HADON THATLINE
Previous Question Ordered
on Motion to Adjourn
for Three Days.

The sentiment of the House leaders
continues to be opposed 20 the proposi-
ton which emanates from the Senate
to adjourn the extraordinary session OF
Congress without final action upon the
Cuban reciprocity bill. for the considera-
ton Of which Congress was called to-
sether.
Immediately after the reading and ap-
proyai of the journal in the House to-
day Mr. Payne. the floor leader. arose
and moved that when the House ad-
jourp it adjourn to meet on Friday.
and on that motion he demanded the
previous question.
Mr. DeArmond Dem. MOI brought
up the question OF adjournment by ask
ing Dir. Payne the direct question as to
what the House purposed TO do He
said it had been plainly intimated on
the Senate side that an adjournment
was desired; that date in the regular
session had been fixed for voting upon
the Cuban bin and that no purpose
could be served by having the House
remain in session
EIeFlOuS Question ordered
AR Payne replied BY saying that. 50
far as he was aware. no proposition had
come from the Senate to the House
looking toward an adjournment but. he
added with some sarcasm. he thought
if such proposition did come. the
House could handle even so momentous
a question as that
M7fDeArraond Insisted that The temper
of The SENATE asf3hoyss ~ ftS actiep
was Tor an adjournment. but further
discussion OF the subject was shut OF
by Mr.. Payne's demand for the previous
question. upon which Mr. DeArmond
asked for the yeas and nays. which were
ordered The previous question was or
dered by a vote of us to 10s.
IL is not quite clear as yet what the
House purposes to do by refusing to
adjourn the special session as no COM
mittees have been announced which
would permit of the consideration OF
other legislation. although it is inti-
mated the Speaker may name the COM
mittees early next week Until this is
done, it is only possible for the HoaIse
to meet and adjourn three days at a
time. or from day to day in case a
quorum is not present ana the point Is
raised
no Vote Possible in Senate.
It is a certainty that vote On the
bin cannot be reached in the Senate
until December Is. and that body can
do nothing except TO listen to talk
which may at times be interesting. but
hardly profitable.

A New Remedy.

That Montana doctors are not a
whit behind their brethren in the
east, in the adoption of new remedies
and new methods of treatment, IS
shown by the experience of Mrs. l..
w. Perkins, of Helena, who was
brought back from deaths door by
the use of formaline.
The woman was APPARENTLY diving Of
blood poisoning and so deplorable
and desperate was her case that the
attending physician had given up all
hope of saving her life. He had tried
all the usual remedies. but without
success and, at last, decided upon the
use of formaline, a new remedy for
this particular trouble and which has
been used but few times in the
United States.
An injection of formaline was given
and, although before such injection
the woman's Temperature was 1O6
and the pulsations of her heart were
so rapid that they could not be count
ed, five hours after the injection. the
patients temperature had dropped to
l04. and the next day it stood at 1902,
with pulse at 105. Another injection
was administered and three days af-
ter the first injection the temperatura
was normal and the pulse was 90
This was on February ,, and today
Mrs. Perkins is apparently in the
best of health and says that she
never felt better
The saving of this woman's life is
not only triumph for medicine, but
is also triumph for the Montana
doctor, who dared to try the expert
ment and consequently a triumph for
the medical fraternity of the state.
To be sure the experiment was not
tried until all other methods had been
tried and had failed. but this was per-
fectly proper and the medical frater
nifty in Montana is to be congratulate
ed in being up with the times
