MIRACULOUsLY RESTORED
How Nicholos Brechtel Recovered His
 Sunday Trousers.

Nicholas Brechtel recovered a pair of trousers yesterday in an almost miruc- ulous manner. They had been stolen from his house the night before. As soon as he could borrow a pair of a neighbor SO that he could go out on the street without a violation of the city ordinances he went to the second hand emporium kept by Henry Rosenstein to rehabilitate himself The first pair Of trousers MT. Rosenstein offered for sale was the pair that had been stolen from MT. Brechtel a few hours before. There was no trouble in establishing his right to the property.
 The second hand man had bought the clothing from a strange colored man whom he would know again on account of the intensity of his coloring. He located him late in the afternoon.
 The name of the colOred person is Albert Taylor who admitted that he had sold the trousers to MT. Rosenstein for a half dollar but be said he had just bought them of a stranger for a quarter. There had plainly been a great deal of quiet activity in the clothing market.
 Taylor could prove his innocence if he could only find his witnesses but there was the trouble. He had been in town only two days. He did not know the names Of the persons who were with him at the time of the trousers transaction but he believed he could find the house where one of them lived
 But de udder witness said MT. Taylor, II dunno as if I could fin. He's jist a Mexican boy an I specs he's done scattered befoah dis time.

The Smoot Inquiry.
By the Associated press.)

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Burrows,
who is chairman of the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections. which IS con-
Quoting the investigation of the charges
against Senator Reed Smoot. OF Utah,
said today that the committee probably
would meet on January 9th for continual
ton of the inquiry. While Senator Bur-
rows has received no notification from
Senator Smoot. he thinks it probable that
the reply of the latter to the charges
against him will be ready by the time
mentioned. Senator Burrows would make
no forecast of the proceedings of the COM
mittee All depended, he said, upon the
nature of the response.
Before going to Salt Lake City, Mr..
Smoot said that he probably would deny
some of the charges and admit others, but
nothing regarding his course has been
heard since the adjournment of Congress
for the holidays. If Mr., Shoots denial
is such as to challenge the authenticity
of the information upon which the accu-
sations are based it is the opinion OF some
of the members of the committee that the
author of the charges will be given an
opportunity to prove them, and in that
event, there probably would be quite
general investigation into the present-day
practices of the Mormon church, with
reference both to marriage and politics.

A NEW RAILROAD
To Develop the Rich
Mineral Lands of Gran
Vile and Halifax.

oxford, y. c., Dec. ga new railroad
which will do much to develop the rich
mineral ores of Granville county, N. c.,
and Halifax county, Va, will soon be
built.
This new line will connect Virginia,
which is partly in North Carolina and
partly in Virginia, and High Hill, Va.
The road will be built by the Southern
railway The chief movers in the enter
prise are Messrs. r. w Lassiter of Ok.
ford, who for several years has so profit
ably worked the copper mines of Gran
vile; c. P. Vedder, president of the Vir-
ginia Copper Company, of High Hille,
Va; A. A. Summer, who is connected
with the Tide Water Oil company; Will
liam r. Brown, and Frank Butterworth,
large English capitalist.
The News and Observers correspond
ent secures this information from per-
son who knows the facts and can state
with authority that it is no mere rail
road rumor.
The survey for this new raod has al
ready been made and active work on its
construction will begin some time in the
coming January.
This railroad will open up vast store
of mineral wealth, both in North Caro-
lima and Virginia, and will save a vast
amount in transportation. Mr.. Lassi-
ter, above named, and other experts in
mining from the north, have pronounced
these mines among the richest in the
world. Mr.. Lassiter and ex-Judge A. w.
Graham, of oxford, who have already
babe good money in the mines they have
operated in Granville, near Virgilia, con-
slider the new fields as even more profit
able than those already developed. The
minse along this road on the Virginia
side are also considered very rich. Some
of the companies operating these mines
in Virginia are the Virginia Copper Co.,
Pontiac Mining Co., Seaboard Copper
Co., the last named company being own
ed and operated by Boston capitalists.
The principal mines along the line in
North Varolna are the Blue Wing mine
the Pexson Consolidated mines and 9th
ers. With the excellent facilities for
transportation which the new railroad will
bring over the very successful and ex,
perenced business men connected with
all these mines their development is an
assured fact.
This will mean great wealth for the pro
moters and afford much employment for
laborers.
