Business of the Boston & Maine
Shows Gain
In the Gross Receipts Over Pre-
ViOus Years.
HE SAME IN FREIGHT
A Loss Of Sl5O,OOO on Coal
Was Estimated.
Instead of That the Income viii
Be Larger.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 21.-An
estimated yearly loss of nearly three
quarters of a million dollars to the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company as a result of re-
ducing its passenger rate to two cents
a mile several months ago, already has
been turned into an actual gain in
gross receipts as compared with other
years, through an increased volume Of
business.
In addition to the reduction of pas
senger rates the tariff on coal to New
England points also was reduced to
a figure which, on the old volume OF
coal business to New England points
would have resulted in a yearly loss of
S150.000 to the railroad company. Re
ceipts to date indicate that not only
has this estimated loss been overcome,
but that there will be an actual gain
over other years.

While One of sage's Relatives Con-
tests the WIN.

New York, Sept. 21.-Announceinent
that Senator Bracket Of Saratoga
would today begin a contest of the win
of Russell Sage has attracted wide at
tention and interest. The opinion was
expressed among lawyers that the case
would develop into a bitter and long
drawn out legal battle. While Senator
Bracket will begin proceedings only on
behalf of Edson NJ. Conreid the Swear
old grandnephew of Russell Sage, it
has become known that many of the
other heirs have engaged counsel to
watch the proceedings.
Senator Bracket, asked as to the Dos

BAILEY WONT PLAY.
Declines Populist Nomination for At
torney General

George H. Bailey, the Populist NOM
inee for the office of attorney general,
today sent to the secretary of state his
refusal to accept the nomination which
had been rendered him, and instructing
the secretary of state to leave his name
off the ticket.
Mr. Bailey live at Mankato, Jewell
county. He gives no reason fer decIin-
ing the nomination. He was one of the
people nominated by the Populists who
was not present and could not decline
at the time the nomination was made.
The Populists have not yet fled their
state ticket with the secretary of state.
Bailey's place in the ticket will have to
be filed by the state committee.

at that time it was generally known
that he was absolutely against a text
book bill. Mr.. Harris never made any
bones about his opposition to the bill
at that time. Mr.. Ryan evidently for
gets that such votes are recorded
There can be no mistake about the
records because they were kept by the
secretary of the senate, whom MT
Harris helped TO elect. Mr. Ryan $
memory seems to be rather short and
the next time he attempts to tell how
Mr.. Harris worked and voted on a bill
he had better consult the official ree-
ords first. It is also passing strange
that Mr.. Harris is now trying to gain
some votes on the text book issue when
he was lined up against and refused to
vote for that law"

RIVER IS AGAIN RISING.
Missing Rock Island Cars in the
CimarTon Haven't Been Seen.

Guthrie, Ok, Sept ga special to
the State Capital from Kingfsher says:
Tonight the Cimarron river is rapidly
and steadily rising. All work at the
scene of the Rock Island wreck of Tues
day is al standstill- The anticipation
of reaching the submerged smoking and
baggage cars by tomorrow or even the
next day is now out of the question.
The rescue party has lost all trace OF
the location of the two coaches Both
are thought to be entirely imbedded in
sand.
The new trestle which is to replace
the old bridge, extends perhaps 100 feet
from each side of the river bank. The
distance across the bed of the stream
at it's normal size is quarter of a
mile Rock Island officials said to-
night that unless the water became too
high the bridge would be reopened for
traffic late Saturday.
This afternoon an unconfrmed re-
port reached Kingfisher that the bodies
of four men had been found in the
Cimarron twenty or twenty-five miles
from Dover. Reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding neither Mail Clerk
Gamble nor Douglass, the negro
porter, have been heard from. Most
of the slightly injured victims of the
wreck have left Kingfsher for their
homes.
Farmers living along the river and
who are accustomed to its vicissitudes
declare that the stream will not re-
sumo its ordinary size for at least a
week.
Tonight there is but little indication
of interest at the spot where the train
plunged into the river. A small crowd
of searchers is examining the banks
along both sides of the river for
corpses among the weeds.
People, whose homes border on the
Cimarron watched the muddy torrent
all day long and tomorrow and every
day until the cars in the river are
reached and searched the stream will
be closely watched for foaters
