OLD PROJECT
is Revived
Southern May Build Line to
to Stevenson.
L. &. N. SAID TO BE
BECOMING INDEPENDENT
May Build It's Own Bridge at
Decatur-Rivalry Likely
to Cause Some Big
Expenditures.
Chattanooga Times:

Chattanooga Times:
Is the Southern railway planning
to build its own tracks between
Chattanooga and Stevenson in the
immediate future? Thisis not new
subject for discussion in railroad cir
cles, but the question has been fore
ing to the front recently with appar-
ent reason for belief that the answer
will prove to be in the affirmative.
1t is no secret that more or less
complete surveys for a track for the
Memphis division of the Southern
between Stevenson and this city are
filed in the general Office at Wash
ington. 1t is persistently rumored
that these have been supplemented
by more detailed statements from
the engineering department bearing
recent dates.
What has perhaps served more
than any one thing to originate ru-
mors of the new track Is the growing
hostility between the Louisville and
Nashville and the Southern.
Under the present arrangements
the Memphis division of the South
ern railway system operates between
Chattanooga and Stevenson,
Ala, a distance of thirty y-eight
miles, over the tracks of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and ST. Louis
controlled by the Louisville and Nash
vile. At Decatur, Ala, at which
point both the Louisville and Nash
vile and the Southern runs, the
Southern owns the only railroad
bridge across the Tennessee river
Matters have been about equalize(
between the Southern and Louisvill,
r and Nashville, therefore, the South
ern running from Stevenson to Chat
tanooga over the Nashville, Chatta
. nooga and St. Louis tracks, while tn
trains of the Louisville and Nash
3 vile road cross the Tennessee rive
at Decatur over the Southern rail
g way bridge.
1t is now understood, and eve
l. the usual official denial is this tim

PRESCOTT SUICIDES
 BODY FOUND

John H. Pomeroy returned to Phoe-
 nix on Saturday from Prescott where
 he went on the excursion a week ago,
 remaining to take advantage of the
 more bracing climate of the hills
 MT. Pomeroy was one of the party of
 four who discovered the body of Mrs.
 Greene, who committed suicide mile and a half from Prescott by shooting
 last week. The finding of the body was remarkable piece of night work
 and must be attributed in part to acci- dent.
 MT. POmeroy was stopping at the same lodging house where Mrs Greene and her husband resided. He met her daily and she always seemed cheerful. No motive for her self des- tructioE has been suggested It is evident that until after noon of that day she did not intend to kill herself at that time for some time after twelve o'clock she had purchased some thread and other articles needed by her in some fancy work on which she was engaged.
 She was missed in the evening and it was learned that she had gone in a nOrtherly direction. About the same time her husband noticed that his re- volver was missing. Though his wife had made no threat of suicide he had a fear that that was what had hap pened. It was at first thought that she had gone to the park and a search without result was made for her in that locality. It was abandoned at and there was a hope that she still might return unharmed.
 A search was made in her apart ments for some word that she might have left but nothing was found un- til about ten o'clock when some one turning the leaves of a writil-< pad found in one of the middle leaves a note directed to her friend, Mrs. zSat- -hews, also living at the lodging house. IL was as follows: Clean up Jack (her five year old boy) and burn all his old clothes. Don't let him know: 1on't let him see me. I'm tired, and going now. Nobody to blame"
 It was on the discovery of this note hat an active search was begun. It had ben ascertained that she had gone in northerly direction It was slso learned that week before in the company of Mrs. Matthews she had 7isited an Indian swamp in that direc- ion. As she was familiar with the country it was surmised that she would naturally have gone that way. The party followed a northerly course igzagging over a wide area and at ast N. Jenins, of this city, one of h. party. found the body about mid light in the shadow of a small oak rec. The woman had spread out be- ore her and placed a newspaper and 'laced herself in such position that Ehen she should shoot herself in the reast she would have fallen forward. was in that position that she lay.

E. P. & s. W. Special Officer Elmer ty will be arraigned on Friday after noon at 2 o'clock, as matters now stand, in the court of Justice Murphy on the latest charge that has been brought against him, fourishing a re- volver.
 The charge was filed by Fred He'd berg, who is represented by Attorney Power. MT. Hedberg alleges that Finnerty drew his revolver without provocation and threatened to make use of it. The trouble is the out growth of the other difficulties MT Finnerty has recently had in and about Don Luis.
 Regarding a rumOr in circulation yesterday that Sheriff Hunt had re- turned to Finnerty his commission as a deputy sheriff, the sheriff last night made positive denial over the tele- phone from Tombstone. He said that he was entirely at a loss to under stand how the report got in circula- tion. So far as having any fact what ever for basis, he declared that the reinstatement story was absolutely without foundation. He had just re- turned from a trip to Phoenix, and had not had the Finnerty matter under consideration in any wise since taking the commission of the special officer of the railroad away from him on Sat urday last. He said last night that nothing had since occurred to his knowledge to warrant him in returning the commission. He could not pOssi- ply Go so at this time with a charge resting against Finnerty in a justice cCurt
 Regarding the troubles of Mir. Fin nerty. there is a good deal of feeling of very friendly character expressed toward him in the city, though the pub lie is at a loss to understand how it is that he continues to keep in the courts.

ward sober, industrious, law-abiding lives You are in honor bound to join hands in favor of law and order. and to war against crime by men of your own race for the heaviest wrong done by the crim- inal Is the wrong to his own race. You must teach the people of your race that they must scrupulously observe any con tract into which they in good faith en- ter, no matter whether it Is hard to keep or not. If you save money secure homes lead clean, decent lives, and you will win the respect of your neighbors of both races. Let each man strive to excell his fellows only by rendering substantial service to the community in which he lives. The colored people have many diff faculties to pass through, but these diff culties can be surmounted if only the policy of reason and common sense is pursued You have made real and great progress. According to the census the colored people of this country own and pay taxes upon something like three hun dred million dollars worth of property and have plotted ort over so per cent of the lliteracy. What you have done in the past Is an indication of what youwill be able to accomplish in the future under wise leadership. Moral and industrial education is what is most needed in order that this progress may continue. The race cannot expect to get everything at once.
 Tt must learn to wait and bide its time. to prove itself worthy by showing it's possession of perseverance, of thrift. of self control. The destiny of the race is chiefly in its own hands. and must be worked out patiently and persistently along these lines.

I very earnestly hope that their example will count in the north as well as in the south for there are just as great evils to be warred against in one region of our country as in an- other. though they are not in all places the same evils. And when anybody in community stands bravely for what is right these men not merely serve a useful purpose in doing the particular task to which they set themselves, but give a lift to the cause of good citizenship through out the union I heartily appreciate what you have done at Tuskegee, and I am sure you will not grudge my saying that it could not possibly have been done save for the loyal support you have re- ceived from the white people round- about. for during the twenty-five years of effort to educate the black man here in the midst of a white community of intelligence and culture there has never been an outbreak between the races or any difficulty of any kind. All honor is due to the white men of Alabama to the white men of Tuskegee, for what they have done. And right here let me say that if in any community a misunder- standing between the races should arise over any matter infinitely the best way out is to have prompt. frank and full conference and consultation between rep resentatives of the wise, decent, cool headed men among the whites and the wise, decent, cool-headed colored men, Such conference will always tend to bring about a better understanding, and will be a great help all around
