Minneapolis Tribune. The story OF
the merger Of the Rock Island railroad
with tine st. Louis & San Francisco and
finally with the Santa Pc. may not be
specifically true: but it is quite certain
that the independent lines outside Of the
present mergers viii have to combine
sooner or later into systems practically
co-eNtensive in order to play their parr
effectively in the new higher competi-
fion. 1t is matter of definite expectation
that the Wabash lines. for example. will
form th nucleus of a new trunk line
system to hold the Vanderbilt ennsyl-
vania alliance in check. 1t is no less GER
tain that the Rock Island and Santa Fe
Will be driven soon or late to form
strong transcontinental system to hold
in check the Union Pacific and Northern
Securities alliance. Competition is the
nature Of business. and you can't drive
it out with q fork.

Such is the Charge Against
I. J. Armstrong.
The Man Who Assaulted Kelly in The Cell al
Durham Jail is Committed for
Trial.
Especial to News and Observer


Durham, N. c., September 25-The in
quest of the coroner in the case of Harry
Kelly, who died as a result of being as
saulted by drunken companion while
prisoner in the city lookup, was completed
today about noon. Thomas Jackson Arm
strong, the man who assaulted Kelly and
caused his death was committed TO jail
by the coroner No bond was allowed and
he stands charged with murder.
The evidence revealed a most vicious
and unprovoked assault. The two men
had been placed in a cell because they
were drunk Oh the street. Armstrong,
who Is twenty-four years of age, assaulted
Kelly and notwithstanding his pleadings
and cries for mercy the old man, sixty-sev-
en- years of age, was beat to the floor. His
head was jammed against the side of the
steel cell, this causing death.
The post norton examination conducted
by DR.. N. M. johnson and DR.. n. p.
BoddIe, revealed the fact that one or
more blood vessels had been ruptured on
the brain and the blood clots caused a
pressure that resulted in paralysis and
death. The body of the deceased was
terry, the expense of the funeral being
borne by some of his Catholic friends.
Although Kelly, the deceased, had lived
in Durham most of his time for fifteen
years, his life is surrounded by mystery.
1t is known that he has relatives some
where, but no one knows who they are
or where they can be found. 1t is said,
however, that he has sister in Baltimore,
a Mrs. Mary Kelly, who was Kelly and
married man of the same name. This
woman it is said, is the mother of Joe
Kelly, the famous baseball player. There
is rumor that years ago Kelly, the der
ceased, was a prize fighter and that he
killed some person, this accounting for
him being away from home, friends and
loved ones with nothing to show who they
are In all probability the mystery sur
rounding his life will never be cleared up.
1t is known that he has a son, who a few
years ago was in the employ of the gov
eminent at Washington.

HE'S RICH AND DOESN'T KNowIC.
An Unknown Man Who Has Fortune in Lime
on bis Farm.
Especial to News and Observer)

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, N. c., Sept. 25.-Mr. r. ID.
Douglas, of Greensboro, attorney for the
Fentress Gold Mining Company, of Gull
ford county, is looking for man living
near Greensboro, who probably possesses
a fortune and does not know it,
Last year when Mr.. w. G. Green, the
manager of the Fentress mine was here
on business trip, a man came to the
hotel to see him and wished a piece of
limestone analysed, to see if it did not
have large quantity of lime in it. He
said he had large quantity of the stone
on his farm like the sample produced,
and endeavored to get Mr.. Green to go
out to his farm and examine it. Mr..
Green told him that he did not have
time as he was going to leave for the
North the next day. A few days ago
Mr. Green came across the piece of lime
stone, which he had forgotten about
having and analysed it. To his amaze
ment the analysis showed the ore con
tanned SO per cent of pure lime Mr..
Green did not take down the name Of
the fellow who gave him the ore and
does not even remember where the man
lived or what he looked like. All he re-
members is the man saying his farm by
the man has the amount of ore he claims
that is on the plantation, and if it Is
like the sample, Mr.. Green says that he
is worth a fortune. 1t would not only
mean a fortune for the man, but a great
thing for this county. 1t would make
the price of lime here far cheaper, and
also enable the steel works to secure
limestone without shipping for long
distance. This is a great item of expense
in running the steel works and sometimes
is quite hard to get when it is wanted
