The Electric Railway.

A stated in the Gazette Of that day,
a report was current yesterday that the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company had
disposed of its holdings in the Washing
ton. AIexandria and Meunt Vernon
q ectric line. tits now reported that con-
troll of the property has passed to inter-
ests represented in the Capital Traction
Company, of Washington. 1t is impos.
sible to either confirm or refute the story
in Washington or Philadelphia, though
the reply Of President King to an inter-
viewer would seem TO give color to
the rews which had been circulated in
this city. The reason assigned for the
sale of the Pennsylvania holdings is that
the electric road will be required in the
next year or two to expend about SOU,
900 in betterments on account of the new
highway bridge and double tracks and
that the parties now in control would not
be able to meet this outlay. This fact
has been recently made more apparent oy
the loss of the traffic between Washing
ton and St. Asaph amounting to $780,
600 year. The Pennsylvania people
did not care TO assume control, but were
satisfied to have control pass into other
hands.
Among the reports current here today
was that the deal for the purchase of the
electric road was being engineered by
Mr.. G. P. King, president of the road,
and that he was backed by Philadelphia
capital. The report denies that the
Washington Traction Company has any
thing to do with the deal. 1t is stated
by some of the Alexandria stockholders
that they have sold their scock in the
road, but 10 whose interest they decline
to say. 1t is also said that Lieutenant
Governor Willard will figure in the new
management. Other reports are in cir
culation, but when investigated they
proved to be uniounded.

Case Dismissed.

The case OF s. R. Taylor, colored,
charged with negotiating a loan of 5000
from building association under fals'
pretenses, was dismissed by Justice
Cation today. The accused stated that
the women with whom he had lived had
told him that they owned their home
and would deed it to him if he would
pay their debts and take care of them.
He then said that he had had the deed
prepared and that the women had signed
it.
The above case has gi zen rise to
false report that a young white man had
secured money from a building sssocla
ton under false pretenses.

The Wilmington Post omIes Canvass.

The following letter, which explains it.
self, has been sent by Postmaster o. H.
Jones of Wilmington to the Brattleboro
correspondent of the Springfield Republic
can. 1t refers to paragraph which was
copied into the local columns of The
Phoenix last week:
Wilmington, VT, June 1896.
Brattleboro Correspondent of the
Springfield Sunday Republican,
Brattleboro. VT.
Dear Sir Cor Madam:
My attention has been called to an
item in the Brattleboro letter to the
Springfield Sunday Republican regarding
the Wilmington postmastership AS the
facts stated were mostly incorrect 1 will
inform you the truth so in case you make
further mention OF the matter you may
do so correctly.
First, you stated there is spirited con-
test. There is no contest so far as I
know, now at least. have not asked
person yet to support me and do not
expect to until next January, unless com
PEELED to in justice to myself and friends.
Second, you say my commission does
not expire until December. My commits
sion is dated Feb. II. 1902, and 1t expires
Jan. 10, 1906.
Third, you stated petitions are in cir
culation. The only petition in circulation
is one for Mr.. Strawser, so far as can
ascertain.
Fourth, you say the office pays about
$500 annually. The postmasters salary
is $1,000 per year.
Fifth, you say Mr.. Jones and his wife
have held the office 16 years. Mrs.
Jones had the office four years and have
had it little less than eight years.
Sixth, you say Mr.. Strawser went to
Wilmington about three years ago, which
was nearly correct, as he took charge OF
the Times two years ago last November.
l VIII add to the above for your in
formation that your statements were
not nearly as incorrect and misleading as
those made by MIR. Strawser in his cam
vass' and his statements were entirely
unnecessary, as l would gladly have
informed him correctly had he asked me.
In conclusion will say that, contrary
to some reports. 1 have always stated
that l expected to ask for a re-appoint-
ment next January, unless It is con-
clusively shown that Wilmington peopIe
do not want should continue as their
postmaster,
Very truly.
o. H. JONES.

and mustache, and the shape of the face
as far as II was in normal condition
tend strongly to confirm the theory that
the body is that of Herbert N Gum.
1T is claimed by his attorneys that
Gum had nothing to fear from the out
come of the litigation in which he was
involved. Dispositions taken last winter
of witnesses for the PLAINTIFF not only
failed to establish any case against him,
but clearly showed that he was not guilty
of the fraud and deceit with which he was
charged. All this he understood, and
when last seen was full of courage as to
the outcome. 1t is thought that his
family troubles, rather than litigation,
drove him to suicide. Those who know
him best assert that he was a very sensi-
tive man and felt keenly the criticism of
people because of his failure in business
and the attitude Of some of his relatives.
OF late, he has been especially despond-

Letter to Charles Miner.

Dear Sir: The Fair Ground buildings,
Cobleskill. N Y, were painted Devoe last
year.
Two other paint agents said the job
would take $50 gallons (their price was
is cents less a gallon).
Our agent said not over 1926.
1t took 115. We saved 'em at least $40
on paint and labor
The American House, Tannersville, N.
Y, was painted two coats last year; not
Devoe.
Mr.. Charles Haner, across the street,
put on one coat of Devoe.
Mr.. Wiltse american House, is sorry
ne didn't paint Devoe. Haner's one coat
was better than Wiltse's two.
Depends on the paint.
Yours truly,
