WIVES Island Statue.

English people cling to their
traditions and antiquities long
after they have ceased to possess
any definite interest. One of the
curios of Wiltshire is a statue in
the middle Of a river at Wyle.
Upon a pedestal near a bridge is
a statue of a conductor of a coach
blowing upon a horn. The statue
bears every mark of antiquity;
indeed it is so old that no one
knows just exactly what it is in
tended to keep in mind the mem
DRY of some accident occurring at
that point. According to some,
the bridge was wrecked and
many. were saved through the
brave efforts of the conductor,
while according to other accounts,
the bridge went down in a fcoj
and all were lost in the angry
waters. No matter what the
original intention was, it posses
ses a modern interest as being the
only statue erected in the mid
die of a river, and as such is re-
garded with more than local inter
est. Several times it has been
found necessary to make repairs
to the pedestal, and the money
has been cheerfully provided,
the town realizing the value OF
this relic of the past.

This interesting remark was
made by Judge Dugro of New
York supreme court this week,
as he was engaged in divorcing a
married couple: There is some
thing radically wrong about the
divorce laws. It seems to me
that they ought to be changed.
Divorces should be taken entire
ly out Of the Jurisdiction, of the
state courts and placed under the
jurisdiction of federalecourts.'

The last seen of him was at o'clock in the morning, when he came into No. 4 track with a cut of cars. His friends were uneasy about him at the time. but later in the day man from Agua Prieta came to T. Vaughn in the railway yards, and representing him self as a Mexican officer and display ing an officers badge, said Batts had crossed the line that morning into Mexico; that he was craZed, and when found by the authoFities of Agua Prieta was barefooted and bareheaded and had discarded most of his other clothing. According to his statement Batts was so violent that he had to be roped and tied before he was taken to jail, and that he was still there.
 Vaughn and the other friends of Batts decided that he was delirious from drink and that few days in jail would do him good; so they waited until yesterday to send for him. When T. Waugh and Charlie Eger arrived in Agua Prieta yesterday they were as tonished to learn from the Mexican authorities that Batts was not there and had not been there; that the Mex

TO BUILD RAILROAD
CAPITALISTS WILL PUSH A ROAD
FROM WASHINGTON TO THE

WASHINGTON. Pa. Nov. ga
number of prominent capitalists of
Washington and Greene counties, who
realize that If they ever get standard
guage railroad they will have to build
it themselves, have formulated a
scheme whereby the desired road may
be secured. Attorneys Jesse H. Wise
and G. w. Roberts. of Pittsburg. the
leaders in the matter, held a meeting
at Waynesburg on Tuesday night last
when considerable enthusiasm was
created and this evening they will
speak in the interests of the road at a
meeting at this place. The attorneys
assert that all that Is needed is con-
certei action on the part Of the citi-
zens Of the two counties, as already
enough money to build and equip the
road is promised by wealthy New
York capitalists. The plan. 1t is un-
derstood. is to construct a branch
line from some point on the Wabash
railroad in this county to Washington,
thence to the, Greene county capital
and on to the Monongaheia river.
