Received His Paw.

Five days before he crossed the river in
a boat to reach the freight landing he re-
ceived his pay, less than $50 and some Of
this money was spent in Alexandria. His
friends think he had about $40 in his pocket
when he boarded the freight train, and
that he had spent little none of it be-
fore his death occurred in the woods. Some
of the persons interested in the case are
of the opinion that Archer met some other
men on the road and that they killed and
robbed him. In order to ascertain some
thing definite about the cause of death an
autopsy will have to be performed but the
county officials not likely to take In
terest enough in the case to have this DONE
1t may be that the body will find last
resting place without such examination
being made. So certain are the members of
the union that the body is that of their
friend that they will have It disinterred and
given a decent burial and pay the insurance
money over to the widow.
The apparent positive Identification of the
body seems to dispose of the Identification
made by Mrs. Walter w. Daniels, ST., whose
step-son disappeared from his home in
Northwest Washington last month. Mrs
Daniels, as heretofore stated in The Star,
says she is born medium and that mes
sages from the spirit world told of the
death of the missing man. The wife of
young Daniels has never thought her hus-
band was killed. and expects to hear from
him In the near future.

Worked in the South.

Archer was about thirty eight years old.
He had worked In Columbia, S. c., during
the winter months and reached Alexandria
about two months ago 1t is said that he
was of a rowing disposition and seldom
worked any length of time in one place.
He belonged to the army of men who find
pleasure going from place to place, work
ing short time and then going TO an
other. In that way he travelled extensively,
and. it is said, was not In the habit of
paying car fare, preferrlng to ride on
freights and blind baggage coaches. The
day he left Alexandria he employed a boat
man to take him across the river to Shop
herds landing, where the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company transfers It's cars
across the river to its southern connection.
AS nothing but freight cars are run over
these tracks it is thought that Archer
wanted to board such train there. 1t was
possible for him to reach Laurel or Jessup
on such a train, but how or why he got so
far from the line of the railroad is a mys-
terry that puzzles the police. Had Archer
been drunk or crazy his friends could easily
account for his nude body having been
found. but they say, he was not in the
habit of getting drunk nor did he show any
signs of being crazy when he left Alex
aQdria.

BODY IDEN TIFIED
LAUREL MYSTERY CLEARED BY
GLASS BLOWERS.
Believed to Be Remains Of Job Archer,
Who Left Alexandria Works
in June.

There no longer seems to be any doubt re-
specting the identity Of the body that was
found in the woods near Jessup. Md, about
ten days 60 The mystery was cleared to
the entire satisfaction Of the Howard coun-
ty authorities and the local police yesterday
afternoon, when members Of the glass blow
ers' union went to Laurel and identified the
articles of clothing those that were worn
by Job Archer. a glass blower, at the time
he left the plant Of the Old Dominion glass
works in Alexandria about the middle of
June. Archer was from Philadelphia. and
an effort is being made to locate his wife
there in order that she may be informed of
his death and put in position to obtain pos
session of the body and 500 insurance
money, which will be paid by the union.
Arthur H. Schwarzmann and James Fos-
ter. glass blowers. came over from the AL
exandria establishment yesterday afternoon
and conferred with Capt. Boardman before
going to Laurel to see Magistrate Clarence
Beall and Policeman Scaggs. Their atten-
ton had been attracted to the finding Of
the body in the woods, and when they learn
ed of the finding of an envelope bearing the
name Of Archer, as told in dispatch to
The Star at the time 1t was found, they felt
certain that the body was that of Archer.
There could be no doubt that the envelope
found in Maryland had been received by the
man VINO nad worked In the Alexandra eS-
Establishment, as it contained the indorse-
ment Opened by mistake" The letter had
been sent to him in an envelope containing
the mark of the Glass Blowers Association
of Columbia S. c., and was received in AL
eXandria the 18th day of June. That was
the last day Archer was seen in Alexandria.
Both Schwarzman and Foster knew Of the
letter that had been opened by mistake and
they also knew something of the description
of the clothing worn by Archer. One of
them positively identified the undergarment
that was found on the bank of Deep run by
a Star reporter as being similar to that
worn by the man who has not been heard
from since he left Alexandria the 10Th of
June. Foster was with him the day he
bought the underwear and white shirt in
Alexandria.

New York-chieaso Trolley Line.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Continuous troll
ley rides from Chicago to New York
over two routes, and between Chicago
and Cincinnati. are among the trans
portation probabilities now planned.
William S. Reed, builder of railroads.
who has an office in the First National
Bank, has organized syndicate which
has purchased the Chicago Electric
Traction Company and has organized
two other companies which will com.
plete the gaps which now bar con-
tinuous ride on electric roads between
the cities named.
Mr.. Reed claims that these some
what remarkable transportation feats
will be completed by next June and
that the traveller may go from Chicago
to New York by way of Buffalo and
then through New York state. or may
branch off at Cleveland and take a
long distance airing through Pennsyl
vania and SO on to the metropolis.
Then when he returns to Chicago he
may stop over in Indianapolis and take
another electric ride to Cincinnati and
come home by the way of Indianapolis
and route shorter than are the routes
of the steam car lines.

MoFFAT ROAD TERMINAL.
Right of Way Secured to Union Depot
in Denver,

Denver, Colo, Sept. David II.
Moffat and associates in the construc-
tion of the Moffat road have again
given evidence that they are deeply
in earnest in the prosecution of the
work. Last Saturday it was announced
from the Offices that a strip of ground
about 100 feet wide. sufficient for a
double track. had been purchased all
the way from Utah Junction to the
city. clear in to a point at Fifteenth
and Bassett streets-the present site
of the City stock yards. The purchase
of land includes all of River Front
park. the Union Warehouse Company
ground. strip running through the
Denargo Land Company's possessions
and the tract of ground near River
Front park belonging to the Denver
Union Water Company.
At the same time it was stated that
the moment the Gore canon contro-
versy was settled the greatest piece of
construction for the road, the big tun-
mel through the continental range,
would be undertaken and prosecuted
with all haste Through the obstacles
placed in the way by the opponents of
the road on Wall street. the big bore
contract has been held in allegiance for
| over two years. Now Mr.. Moffat is in
the eminent position to state that he
has overcome all difficulties in the
East, and the tunnel to pierce the
mountain and cut the distance to the
coast will be started right away. as
soon as the lesser obstacles at homo
are disposed of.
The latest project in the purchase
of the big tracts of land for passenger
and freight depots and terminals.
means that the Moffat steam road, the
Denver. Northwestern & Pacific road,
and the Moffat electric line running
from Leyden. the Denver & Northwest
ern road. will enter Denver on the one
track. Soon it is hoped the steam road
will be hauling Rcutt county coal into
Denver and the electric road will con-
tinue to haul Leyden coal into the
freight depot. both over the Moffat
tracks to the freight depot to be estab-
lished close to the passenger depot on
the ground now held by the City stock
yards. &c.

ANTOINE WOOD PAROLED
WILL GO TO HUBBARD COLONY
Boy Murderer Will Be Released From
Colorado Penitentiary to Be En-
pIoyed at East Aurora. New York.

ployed at East Aurora, New York.
Denver, Sept. 2.-Antone Woode
was paroled by the State Board of Par
dons at its meeting yesterday after
noon. He probably will get his first
glimpse of the world Monday, as it
will take until then for the papers to
reach the governor and be returned to
the warden. The paroles always con
tain agreements which the prisoner
signs. They are then approved and
signed by the governor
There is restriction in Woode's
parole because 1t is stipulated that he
is to be delivered to Elbert Hubbard
by Warden Cleghorn in person. In
taking this precaution, the board is
trying to prevent the young man falk
ing into the hands of undesirable per-
sons, who might want to exhibit him
or otherwise take advantage of him.
Mr.. Hubbard has said that he will take
him and provide him with work at
his East Aurora colony, and believing
that the remaining months that the
young man has charged against him,
will serve to work no more reform in
him, the members of the board de-
cided that Mr.. Hubbard shall be al
lowed to see what he can do.
All members of the board of par
dons were present at the meeting yes
terday afternoon, with the exception
of Ralph Smith, who for long time
held out against pardoniDg Woode.
Governor Mcdonald said that the
board unanimously agreed to recon-
mend the parole and that he will sign
it. Letters were shown the board. in
which Hubbard agreed to take charge
of Woode and put him to work. They
were also assured that the cost of send
ing him there will be met.
Antoine Woode's case is one of the
strangest in the annals of crime. In
1893, when only eleven years of age.
he left his home one morning with a
shotgun to hunt rabbits. He met Jo-
seph Smith, business man of Denver,
and they walked together. Smith hap
pened to show his fine gold watch and
the boy coveted 1t. Slipping behind
his victim. he shot him through the
back. Taking the watch, the boy went
to his home and hid it. but when the
body was found. he was suspected of
the crime and confessed 1t.
1t was not legal to hang a child of
that age, and there was no reformatory
at that time, while of course 1t was
impossible to turn a child with such
tendencies among the children at the
industrial school. so the authorities
were puzzled what to do with him.
There appeared nothing to do but to
put him in the state prison. He was
sentenced for twenty-five years. and
counting off time for good conduct, he
has served all of the term but eighteen
months.

Hitch in Peace Conference.

Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. "A pos
sible hitch in the peace conference has
developed in regard to the island of
Saghalien. According to the Japanese,
the understanding reached Tuesday
contemplates a mutual obligation on
the part of the two countries not to
fortify their respective possessions on
the island. At st. Petersburg, how
ever, there seems to have been an as
sumption that the agreement involved
freedom of action by Russia in this re-
spect in the north of Saghalien, with
an obligation on the part of the Jap
anese not to fortify or to use for
stategic purposes the portion owned
before 1876, which is to be retroceded
in the present treaty.
1t is believed on both sides, how
ever. that the hitch. II 1t really exists,
as reported, will shortly be straight
ened out.
