anes Between the Two Lines.
Denver, June 2O.-The News this
morning says: BY q strategic coup,
quietly planned and swiftly carried out.
the Moifat road yesterday laid its own
track into the heart of the city to Fiji
teenth and Delgany streets over a va
cant Burlington right of way and work
on . temporary 5000 depot will begin
this week. The track was built over a
vacant right of way owned by the Bur-
lington along Delgany from Seven
teenth to Fifteenth street. running
through the Burlington yards just
north Of the Union depot yards.
Tho well-planned move is the final
open evidence of the alliance between
the Modat road and the Burlington,
and its significance is said to be tre-
nendous as touching future railroad
interests and alignments in this state.
1t is taken to mean. beyond all
doubt. that the Burlington and Moffat
loads have entered into q permanent
alliance and will join in erecting new
depot on Fifteenth street. on the old
water works property. entirely remov-
ing their lines from connection with
the Union depot. Then when the rout-
ing OF the transcontinental business
over these two lines begins. the sea-to-
sea trafic over these lines will pass
through this new depot.
The plans for a new depot will be an
nounced early this week and work will
begin at once. When the regular
schedule of trains on the Moffat line
goes into effect next Thursday the
trains will be run from Fifteenth and
Delgany streets and the trolley SER
vice from the North Side over Fif-
teenth street will at once be put into
Sore active use
General Manager A. c. Ridgeway last
night confirmed the news that the Mof-
fat road had refused the offer of the
Union Depot Company and would come
into the heart of the city over its own
tracks. to its own depot
I'VE built this piece of track to-day" +"
he said. 1T is over vacant piece of
ground owned as a right-of-way by the
Burlington road and extends along Del
Eany street to Fifteenth street. 1t is
all Burlington property. We have it
completed. Plans viii be announced
later in the week for a new depot
We will have an excellent car service
to the city, having all the Fifteenth
street service from the North Side. We
will come in over the Burlington tracks
from Utah Junction"

Over Three Hundred Identified
New York. June l7.-With uuceasing
effort. search is going on for the bodies
Of those who perished Wednesday on
the General Slocum.
What the list Of victims will total
scarce any one dares venture guess.
but whatever the number may be, there
is hardly q parallel in the history OF
disasters where death came TO so many
in so brief a period o. time.
Police and Health Department ON
cials have placed the number at hg-
ure as high as 900 and more. but to-
niEnt II would seem that the maximum
fatalities will not largely exceed 100.
All day long, from sunrise until dark
ness shut of even the melancholy sat-
fsfaction of watching for the dead, anx-
ious searchers kept up their vigilance,
and at dusk there had been recovered
s36 bodies. for the greater part women
and children; mothers who weeks ago
had planned that fatal outing for their
children. little ones who had longed for
the happy day.
Up to dusk 4S9 bodies had passed
through the morgue. and of these more
than 800 were identified.
The East Side had its human sympa-
thies aroused to the fullest extsat, and
down by the river where the boats un-
loaded their dead, thousands gathered
throughout the day.
Streets leading to the morgue were
blocked and only with difhculty could
the police keep clear the passages lead
ing TO the long rows of cofdns for those
who came to search for the missing.

Of the two suits above named againse

One suit was brought in Denver to
recover 100000 damages from Gov

filed in the Federal Court at St. Louis,
sought an injunction restraining the
governor and others from further in

Civil War Veterans to Meet in Boston
in August Plans for Entertain
ment.

Boston, June 1.-THE annual en-
campment to be in Boston the week
commencing August 10Th now promises
to be one of the most largely attended
gatherings of OWL War veterans since
the close of the war. The old soldiers
begin to realize that they will not be
able to attend national encampments
many years longer. This makes many
of them the more anxious to meet
their comrades while they may. The
department of Massachusetts, is bend
ing every effort to make the occasion
unique and thoroughly enjoyable by
all of those who participate
The entertainment for the week is
to be elaborate. The committees hav-
ing the matter in charge have broken
away from the established customs
and will present some new features
for the edificstion of the guests.
There will be the usual receptions and
campfres and parades but in addition
there will be some other features that
will we'll repay the comrades who
come to see and enjoy Automible
psrades, river carnivals, fish dinners
on the shores OF Massachusetts, Bay,
surf bathing for those from the in
terror who have little or no opportu-
nifty for such sport. excursions to Lex
ington, Concord, Plymouth Rock and
other places of historic interest make
up an outline of entertainment that
will tax the time of those who wish tC
see all.
The reception of the Woman's Re-
lief Corps will doubtless take place
on Monday evening and on Wednesday
and Thursday will occur the business
session followed each day by visits tC
places of interest. Boston with itt
historic interest seems to be a fitting
place for the greatest encampment in
the history of the Grand Army of the
Republic and no one who comes tc
Boston in August will have cause tc
regret it, Ample provisions are being
! made for the accommodation of all
Free quarters will be provided fol
those who wish them. Those who
wish to stay at hotels will not Bnd
any advance in rates as the proprie
tors have already guaranteed to main
tain their regular prices, The parade
is to be very short. only two miles,
over the best asphalt pavement
through the most beautiful section
of Boston. Boston people feel proud
that this great event is to be in honor
Of the veterans of the Civil war. They
will do their best to show this by tn,
