PLANS ARMY MANEUVERS.
War Department Selects Ideal Spot
ter Sham Campaign Next Fall

Middletown, N. Y, Jan 9.-With
Middletown as the basis of operations,
the war department has selected a
scope of country ten miles in width and
thirty miles long through Orange coun-
ty, from Pinebush to Quarryville, n. J.,
for military maneuvers on a gigantic
scale for two weeks after September %
next, which will require 10000 troops,
composed of United States regulars and
national guardsmen, infantry, cavalry
and artillery.
Lewis Jackson, industrial commission
er of the Erie road, is now comforting
with the local board of trade and prop
erty owners throughout the territory
selected, and it is guaranteed That the
latter will be reimbursed for all actual
damages that may take place
The plan for the maneuvers will be to
divide the forces into two contending

selves as to meet at given point, after
a fortnight's campaign, with an elabor-
ately planned sham fight, to test the
endurance and qualifications of the
troops and generalship of the officers

In ths first place an executive commit

Hospital Physician at Denver.

Denver, Jan. 9-Mrs. Aria C. Boal,
the daughter of William 2. Cody, (Buf-
falo Bid, was married here to DR..
Charles W. Thorpe.
Six years ago DR.. Thorpe opened his
first Office at North Platte, Neb., then
the home of the Boals. He became
friendly with the family and shortly
tongues began to wag. The doctor
was forced to seek other fields. Two
years ago Mrs. Boal came to the St
Anthony hospital in Denver for treat
ment and her case came under the sup
ervision of DR.. Thorpe, who was acting
house physician there. One year after
her return to her North Platte home
her husband committed suicide.
Miss Boal, daughter, is attending
school in Denver. This girl will pro-
badly inherit her fathers share of a
s.. oOO. coo estate in Chicago. The estate
belonged to Mr. Boals mother, who
died a few days before the suicide of
her son.

HARRIMAN's LONG REACH.
Said to Have Bought Control of the
Erie Railroad.

A report has gained currency that
the Hartman interests have gained
control of the Erie road. The report
could not be traced to any authorita-
tive source but as it has an air of
plausibilicy it is given for what it is
worth.
It is a fact that Mr.. Hartman
bought into the Erie road some. months
ago as to entitle him to recognition on
the board of directors and he is now a
member of that board. Since his eIec-
ton it is said that he and his allies
have been steady purchasers of Erie
securities until they are now in actual
control of the property. The object they
are said to have in view is the forma-
ton of through route from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic over which all
through transcontinental traffic origi-
mating on any part of the Hartman
system may pass and the entire bene-
fits accruinF from such traffic NAV be
kept within the family, so to speak.
Possession Of the Erie is all that is now
