NEW STATION
The Pennsylvania Rail
way to Spend Thirty
Million in CHICAGO.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Thirty million
dollars is the amount the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company is prepared
to spend in constructing a new rail
way station in Chicago. Twenty
millions of this will be used in ac-
quiring land adjoining the present
union depot to make the site com
mensurate with the enterprise, and
ten millions will be expended on
buildings.
When the work shall be complete,
Chicago will have one of he largest
railway terminals in the world The
plans and specifications for the most
ed to railway purposes are already
completed. They have been drawn
up to meet the expressed wishes of
the officials of the Pennsylvania com
pany. The city council will have to
be dealt with as final step toward
the fruition of the plans.
The site of the new terminal, as
planned by the architects and engi-
neers of the Pennsylvania company,
will occupy seven square blocks of
of the company to erect group of
supply and storage warehouses,
huge freight warehouse and pas
senger depot which will be more
than adequate to meet the demands
of the railroad lines now entering
the union depot. The scheme is so
comprehensive that It includes the
construction of a tunnel, or subway.
beneath the river by which bridge
delays may be avoided
In its magnitude the plan of the
Pennsylvania company surpasses
that which has been carried out in
the city of Washington. where over
S5,0O0,0 900 was expended in the CON
struction of a passenger station.
The present project is designed
to meet the demands of the five rail
roads entering the union station,
which for years have been complain
ing of the congestion There are
FIVE other railroads than the Penn
sylvania proper with terminals at
the union depot. These are the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy. the Mil
waukee G st. Paul, the Chicago &
Alton and the Panhandle, which is a
part of the Pennsylvania system. 1t
is understood that each of these com
panies practically has agreed to sign
long term leases under which it will
share in the terminal rights it now
holds by agreement with the Penn
sylvania company.

Christmas Eve John L.

dren i'm England.

uren IN England.
On the eve of Christmas a muir
der was committed at Cameo, which
turned the Christmas cheer of that
coal camp into mourning.
John l.. Griffen, coal miner. shot
and killed George Danson, another
miner, in a cabin in which they both
bunked. at about 1880 o'clock Sat
urday night.
According to the testimony that
was adduced at the coroner's inquest
held Monday morning. Danson was
sitting on a bench in the cabin, in
one of the rooms on from the bunk
ing room. when Griffen entered and,
saying to Danson, George. what did
you do that for?" shot him dead.
The ball entered Danson's body
Just to the left of the nipple about
an inch therefrom and passed
through the heart. killing the man
undoubtedly instantly. A second
shot was fired, which grazed the
murdered mans body just below the
right hip bone.
which the men tell the story, it ap-
pears that Griffen, the murderer, and
Danson had had fight in the bunk
house earlier in the evening. 1t was
over matter of an exchange of
rooms in the coal mine in which they
were working. Griffen. who was
much the taller man, knocked Dan
son down twice. the latter falling on
a bed in the room in which he was
killed. This fight was witnessed by |
a man by. the name of Frank e. Her. |
who saw the scuffle through |
a door, from his bunk, where he was |
lying.
From what developed further in
the testimony at the coroner's in
quest, the men had difficulty in
the mIne earlier in the day. They
had been drinking some and the two
men were considered good friends;
but their anger overpowered them
and death resulted to one of them in
the most cold-blooded manner.
After shooting Danson, Griffen
started to walk away, but was
grabbed by Ed Lorton, miner
known also as Tex" Adolph All
chile also rushed toward the man
and wrested the gun from Griffen.
He was then placed under arrest
by Clerk Roeschloeb. who carried
deputy's commission.
Word was communicated to the
loeb and another man brought Grif-
fen to this city Sunday at noon.
Griffen is an American and has
a family. although he is separated
from his wife. Letters were found
on him from his daughter. Danson
is of English birth and it is claimed
has a family in England. Accord
ing to the story of Clerk Roeschloeb,
who holds a deputy sheriff's commits
sion for that camp, there was not
much drinking going on at the camp.
In fact, he says there was not much
liquor at any place in the camp.
Griffen and Danson are spoken
well of by their miner friends, and
it is stated of them that they have
always been the best of friends here
tofore.
Monday morning Coroner DR..
Hanson empanelled a jury and they
sat in an inquisition over the body |
their verdict being that Danson came
to his death from gunshot wound
from the hands of John l.. Griffen.
