TIE ROAD WILL COME
csctain Lea Says That the Directors
of the Dallas Road Talk Right.

Csctain Lea Says That the Directors
of the Dallas Road Talk Right.
Captain Lea returns from Dallas
convinced that the Dallas road to
Roswell will soon b. a realitv. He
nad frequent talks with the directors
while there. and they assured him
that within fourty-five days break
ing dirt will begin. The directors say
that there is no hot air about this
proposition bat that they mean bus
mess and are going to push this
road to an early completion. Over
| sixty miles of the road is already
| graded. Their franchise and their
terminal properties there in Dallas
have already been secured This
with the rights of way hat they
have already secured along the route
make a very solid foundation for all
future plans. Directors of the road
lust as soon as they begin rail-laying
will be in Roswell to make and to
listen to business propositions. Tell
your people," they said to Mayor
Lea, that his road is to be built
and to be built at once Another pro
ject now on in Dallas. and one which
Roswell should initiate at once is
the deep well proposition. They have
gone down 1900 feet and have secur-
ed hot mineral water the equal OF
that at Mineral Springs. Not salts
fled with this, they have put a small
pipe into the well SO that this water
may be saved and are going still
deeper with the expectation of great
err things.
Captain Lea has already about 81.
600 subscribed mere for a deep well.
$4,000 is all hat is wanted now
This should be given at once. No
greater thing could happen to Ros-
well than TO get the kind of water
to the surface right here in town
which is undoubtedly below us.
What does it mean? 1t not only
means a na"tatOrium. a health re
sort, a we'll hat will make Roswell
famous but it means if soft water
may be secured railroad shops and
other enterprises that Roswell needs
and must have. The railroad and the
! deep well are two good propositions.
Both need pushing and a little work
will bring both bout.

A DEEP WELL.

Read in another column what Ma
yor Lea says in regard to the deep
well proposition and what they are
doing in Dallas. The benefits to be
derived from such a well are many.
Work should begin on this at once.
Two-thirds of the money necessary
has already been subscribed. Will
you not be one to contribute to the
raising of the other third? The well
will be bored in the very center of
the town, and when completed it
will be one of Roswell's greatest re-
sources. If soft water can be secured
at any depth it will mean in the
course of a very short time railroad
shops for Roswell. There is no
doubt on this proposition. If there
is one thing above another that Ros-
well ought to do and do at once it
is to start this well and keen il go
ing, down, down down until
Thing good is struck. even though
we strike en- route the heather chi
nee.

PRO RATA DISTRIBUTION
HAS BEEN RESTRAINED. }.
Decision Adverse to HfII interests
in the Northern Securities Co.

Decision Adverse to Hill Interests
in the Northern Securities Co.
Trenton, N. j., July 15.-Judge Brad
ford to-day granted preliminary in
junction in the suit brought by Ed
ward II. Hartman. Winslow S. Pierce
and others to restrain the proposed
pro rata distribution of the assets Of
the Northern Securities Company This
is defeat for the Hill interests. The
opinion is fifty typewriter pages in
length.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as to the title of the Northern
Pacific stock, which +. II. Hartman
and Winslow S. Pierce put into the
combination and which amounted to
about $79000,000. The contention of the
Northern Securities Company was that
the stock had become the absolute
property of that company, and that it
was perfectly legal for the Northern
Securities Company to carry out the
pro rata plan of distribution upon
which the company had agreed. Har-
riman contended that by reason of the
corporation being declared Illegal by
the United States Supreme Court, title
had not passed from Hartman and
Pierce, and in consequence they were
entitled to have returned to them the
particular stock they had put into the
combination and which involved con-
troll of the Northern Pacific Company.
The decision of Judge Bradford does
not dispose of the main points at issue
in the case, which were, whether or
not Hartman and Pierce should have
returned to them the stock of the
Northern Pacific Company which they
put into the Northern Securities Com
pany, or whether they should have dis
tributed to them the stock of both the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern Companies on the pro rata basis
provided for by the directors of the
Northern Securities Company.
Judge Bradford devotes most of his
opinion to the discussion of a legal
question as to whether he should grant
a preliminary injunction, and he takes
the position that as long as there is
any doubt in the case and no injury
can come to the complainants pre-
liminary injunction should be granted.
He says further that the failure TO
grant a preliminary injunction would
permit the distribution of the stock in
the Northern Pacific Company to
which Hartman and Pierce claim title
and put the complainants in a position
where they would not be able to secure
relief to which they would be entitled
should the case be decided in their fav-
or on final hearing.
Representatives of j. p. Morgan &
Co. and OF r.. II. Hartman said they
did not care to discuss the decision un-
til their attorneys had read 1t in full.
II was said at Mr.. Morgan's Office,
however, that an appeal would be
taken.

SHEEHAN CONFERRED
WITH JUDGE PARKER.
Then Would Not Discuss the POIit-
cal situation.

Esopus. N. Y. July i5.-William F.
Sheehan arrived here to-day from New
York and had an hours conference
with Judge Parker this afternoon. He
declined to discuss the conversation.
did you go to New York to harmon
ize the existing differences there?" he
was asked.
st know of no existing differences
needing to be harmonized." he answer
ed.
What can you say regarding the
craftsmanship of the National Commit
tee, especially with reference to the
reported possibility of it's going to Au
gust Belmont?'
Nothing; that matter is still open"
On the question as to the national
chairman, Judge Parker has given
much thought. At present four men
are mentioned: Mr.. Sheehan, Mr., Bel
mont, Senator German and Mr. Tag
gart.
No one is closer to Judge Parker
than Mr.. Sheehan, none evidently will
be more influential in the campaign
than he; but he makes no secret of
the fact that he does not want TO De
national chairman. and it is believed
that Judge Parker will yield to his
wishes in the matter.
AS to the date for the National Com
mittee meeting Mr.. Sheehan said to-
day that it remains to be fixed. The
committee can be called together on
weeks notice and probably will meet
before the first of August, but several
more conferences will doubtless inter-
vene. There was a rumor in Kingston
tonight. circulated with a good deal
of insstence, that Judge Parker's per-
sonal campaign headquarters would be
established in Kingston and that he
would meet visiting delegations there,
rather than at Rosemount. Those who
are in a position to know do not at
tach great value to this rumor

SHOCKING TRAGEDY
OCCURS IN BUFFALO.
Washburn Kills His Wife and
Daughter and Himself.


Buffalo, N. Y, July 15.-One of the
most shocking tragedies that ever oc-
CURED in this city came to light to-
day, when the dead bodies of Edgar
I. Washburn, a member of the grain
firm of Heathfeld & Washburn, on
the Board of Trade, Washburn's wife
and his young daughter, Gladys, 10
years old, were found in bed room
of their home at SO Putnam street,
this city.
Mr.. Washburn had shot and killed
his Wife and daughter and then turned
the weapon upon his head and killed
himself
1t is believed the deed was commit
ted while Mr.. Washburn was suffering
from temporary fit of insanity. He
had written a letter recently, saying,
that he was having troubles in busi-
ness AS far as is known, the mem
bers of the family had not had any
trouble among themselves.
Last evening was spent by the
Washburn family at the house of a
neighbor. There was music and games
and all the members of the Washburn
family appeared in jovial mood.
The tragedy was discovered by
relative who called at the Washburn
house shortly after noon to-day. When
the police arrived they found Mrs.
Washburn and her daughter lying
dead, side by side, in bed, and Wash
burn was dead on the floor at the foot
of the bed. Evidently Washburn shot
the girl first as she lay in bed. When
Mrs. Washburn, aroused by the shot,
partly raised herself in the bed, Wash
burn fired the second shot, the bullet
entering the woman's left temple and
causing instant death. Washburn
then picked up a mirror and taking
aim, shot himself in the right temple.
letter from Washburn to his part
ner, w. G. Heathfeld, was most pitt
full. 1t said in part:
MY dear brother Billy: I am about
to take a step which will be a severe
blow to you and to all who have ever
held me in regard and esteem. / have
striven hard to make a success of life
here, but there seems to be something
that forever upsets my plans l have
hoped that l might succeed in business,
not so much that l craved the money
for selfish purposes, as that l might do
a good work in the world. Do
no think that l feel that / am getting
off easily. My belief in a future life
agony, but l am a blight upon those
whom 1 love and upon those who love
me, and it seems best that l should
drop out of the lives of all of earth's
children and perhaps sometime, some
where. in the future I may be permit
ted to work myself into a niche in life
where 1 may be able to atone for my
errors"
Washburn was an ardent spiritualist.
When he first entered the grain busi-
ness it is said that he was very for
tunate, and he attributed his success
to advice received through mediums.

S400,0O0 LOST IN FIRE.
One Man Lost His Life in Great
Blaze at Duluth.

Duluth, Minn., July 15.-Four hun
dred thousand dollars worth of prop
erty was destroyed by fire this after
noon at the docks and warehouses of
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha Railroad Company, and one
man, a cook, named George Smith, on
the tug Abbott, was drowned in an
attempt to make his escape from the
craft as the flames swept over it from
the docks.
The fire started in the northeast cor
ner of the building and swept through
the long sheds like a tornado, taking
everything that stood in it's path.
In three minutes after the flames
were discovered almost the entire
length of the sheds was a fiery fur
mace. 1t was the most disastrous fire
witnessed in Duluth in years. and the
most spectacular. Losses entailed in
the fire are estimated as follows by
the officials of the interested COM
panies:
George NJ. Smith, general agent,
places the value of the contents of the
freight shed at 100000 or more, and
the value of the shed itself at $4,000.
Two hundred tons of package freight
had been taken from the steamer Mum
cy just previous to the fire, which is
not included in the estimate Mana ger
Inman of the tug company values the
tugs, which he thinks will be an al
most total loss, at $4,000 for the In
man, $4,000 for the Excelsior and $10,-
900 for the Abbott. In addition to this
was the damage to ten Northwestern
freight cars, amounting to $4,000. All
the property was insured.

Writes to the Nominee.
Esopus, N. Y, July 15.-Judge Par
ker received a letter to-day from Gen.
Nelson A. Miles. The letter says
"At time when a material crisis is
pending, when Democratic institutions
are in peril, when great evils should be
eradcated, when important political
questions must be decided, it is fortu-
nate that the Democratic party has
given to the country a candidate for
President, in whom that great council
of representative men have every con
fidence, and we have the best of ,rea-
sons for believing that that confidence
will be confirmed by the intelligent pa
triotic people of the country.
I'VE all do know that the instincts
and training of the judge are to hold
in sacred regard the constitution and
the faithful Interpretation and execu-
tion of the laws. Hence, we believe
that under your administration its laws
will be administered with fidelity and
integrity. ! believe you will be elect
ed and thereby have an opportunity of
rendering our country a service of i'm
measurable value. that will rebound to
the honor of the Democratic party, and
the glory of the republic"
Among the other letters received to-
day was one from Congressman John
Lamb of the Third District of Virgi-
mia.
Judge Parker to-day received the fol-
lowing telegram from Senator John w.
Daniel, dated Lynchburg, Va: "Our
people are gratified that united De-
mocracy has leader who leads. and I
tender my respects and congratula-
tions."
