BUILD FROM COAL
FIELDS TO LAKE
Cleveland Men incorporate to Con
struct a New Steam Railroad.
Connects With Stark and
Tuscarawas Counties.

The Sugar Creek G Northern rail-
road has been incorporated with a pre-
limlnary capital of $4,000 to con-
struct a steam railroad from Bolivar
in Tuscarawas county, through STARK,
Wayne, Medina and Lorain counties to
Elyria.
The company will have offices at
Cleveland and r. +. Denison, w. Il.
Whiting, C. T. Brooks, G.. T. Goss,
L. S. Whitcomb, are the incor-
porators.
The above was taken from the list
Of corporations, Such a railroad had
been thought of and talked of for
long time, but this is the first move
that has been made toward accomp-
fishing the desired end. The region
which this proposed new line will tap
Is very rich one, and one not having
many railways. The residents along
the route are said to be giving the in
corporators much encouragement.
The Plain Dealer says that great
secrecy is observed in connect on with
the project and those OF the incorpor-
ators who could be reached last night
referred inquiries to Robert F. Deni-
son for information. Mr.. Denison said
that he was not in position to give
out anything about the new railroad
yet, as plans in connection with the
project had not been completed.
Mr.. Denison admitted that the sum
used in the article of Incorporation
was only nominal and would be in
creased. He also stated that the right
of way for the line was being purcn-
the railroad would commence at once
From Bolivar to Lorain Is something
over 100 miles and to build and equip
such q line, would require about ST.
100000. The sum stated in the articles
of incorporation represents little, but
the fact that those behind the deal
are not anxious to show their HANDS
until options on property are COM
pleted AS much has been adm tied
by those interested in the proposition.
1t Is said that several prominent
Cleveland capitalists are behind the
railroad and are ready to finance 1t.
Bolivar is in the center of Tuscarawas
county and in the heart of the coal
belt. 1t is said that the new car line
will tap this coal belt and in addition
to the regular passenger traffic will
carry black diamonds to Lorain to the
many fourishing Industries there
which use coal in large quantities.
Such a line would connect with mines
already controlled by those who Will
build the railroad and prove a source
of vast income in the near future.
At Bolivar the new road will con-
meet with the Wheeling G Lake Erie.

lection 1t is reported that renewed Ell

various saloon properties and some
fiattering Offers have been recently
made to parties who own their own
saloons. While the new brewery Will
have capacity nearly as great as
the two old bIeweries combined, yet
posted people say that the growth OF
trade will be sufficient to give them all
good business. From indirect sources
1t has been learned that the output or

branch is nearly as much.
1t was thought by some that when
the Home b4ewery entered the field
1t would cut into the profits of the

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, April 16.-F'ine weather for
winter wheat and better for the spring

day. Decrease in the visible was un-
satisfying to the desire for it's rapid
reduction. Only the premiums that
continued to be paid for the cash Of
ferings in various parts of the coun-
try were to be placed against the
general bearishness of the weather
and the statistics. At the close May
wheat was 70 "a cents, after selling
as low as 70 cents. July left off at
7S ga cents, the lowest price having
been 78 3-8 cents. The decline for
the day in May was 1-2@5-8 cents
and in July 1-4@3-S cents. Corn had
strong tone and closed 3-4s cents
higher for May and IA cent up for
July. Oats were easier and at the
close 1-2 cent lower for May ana IA

IN DARKNESS
The Continual Rain Of
Sand From vesuvius
Has Placed the Region
in Devastation.

Naples, April 16.--While conditions
are slowly improving in the area de-
vastated by the eruption of Mount
Vesuvius it will be many days before
conditions of complete tranquility are
restored. The rain of sand at San
Giuseppe, Ottajanao and Terrajo
stopped at 7 o'clock Saturday night,
only to be renewed again at Sun
day afternoon. So dense was this
latter shower that the entire region
was practically in absolute dark
ness.
Observer Mattucci at the Royal OBJ
servatory states that the ashes de-
stroyed the store of provisions he
had on hand and he and his assist
ants, one of whom is Frank Petret,
the 8American engineer, has subsist.
ed ever since ON dried figs and nuts.
The Funicular railway has been COM
pletely destroyed by rocks weighing
more than two tons all over the road
bed. Mattucci states that he will
endeavor to have the king refuse to
permit the reconstruction of the road
as it spoils the value of the observa.
tory for scientific purposes. Mattucci
was asked to dictate a statement as
to the volcanic cause, ETC., but said; I,
IL am not here for journalistic pur
poses. l am scientist and make
my observations as such"
Mattucci dates the beginning of
the present eruption as May 81, 1905,
and declares its movement was so
slow as to be imperceptible until
the latest aperture occurred near
Pompeii.
The flow of lava which few days
ago was moving at the rate of five
metres a minute in certain sections
has now practically ceased
Mattucci states that he does not
fear a renewal of the eruption.

CHINESE MINISTER

has arisen over the recent Chinese
boycotts. The aggrieved official is
Representative Edwin DENLY, of Mich
igan, a member of the Foreign Rela-

to allay the excitement. He has con-
ferred with the secretary of state and
everything is being done in an official
way to glaze over the diplomatic in
discretion. But the Pacific Coast

alarmed over what they term the pull

May be Saved From
Prosecution Through
Statute of Limitations.

Cleveland, o., April 16.-The pros
ecution of the alleged bridge com
bine, it developed today, is hammered
by the wording of the Valentine anti.
trust law The statute of limitations
is cited as the breastwork behind
which the accused companies may
take refuge. The prosecutions con-
templated under the direction of Az.
torney General Ellis, it Is understood,
are to include the alleged violations
of the law within the last six years.
County Prosecutor Mcmahon said the
statute of limitations prevents an
action except upon offenses committed
within the last three years.
