A NEW SONORA ROAD
 J. J. HARDWlCK BUILDER
Announcement Yesterday That He
 Had Been Granted a Concession.

Louis Killeen yesterday received a letter from J. J. Hardwick informing him that deal on which he has been engaged for a year has just been con summated. He had just received from the City of Mexico a concession signed by President Diaz for q railroad to be built in Sonora for the development of the rich mining regions in the southern part of the state. The load will be known as the Sonora Central. Its northern terminus will be Carbo. a di- vision point on the Sonora railway this side of Hermosillo. It will run thence to the COpete and Belen mins thence to Ures. south of He,mosillo and on to the Yaqui river. The road will have a length of about 800 miles and will tra- verse one Of the richest mineral sec tiOns of Sonora.
 The needs of the Copete and Belen mines. in which Messrs. Hardwick and Killeen have been interested for sev- eraI years. first suggested the building of the road. They were greatly handi- capped by the long haul for all sup plies. the nearest railroad point being Carbo.
 The building of the road will there fore result in greater activity in these mines and in the opening up of many others which had been practically in accessible. MT. Hardwick is said to have plenty of money behind the enter prise. and it is announced that work will be begun under the concession by October 1st.

DREADFUL DEATH.
Raiirona wreck Claims tie Lives Of
Sescn-Ofhcrs Manned and Many Suf-

fhc Southern, Killed.

Death in any form comes with terri
Die shock to the friends OF one who is
taken, but when the dread summons
comes like lightning from a clear sky
and s.atches from the fullness of life
one cminently fitted to enjoy it, and
one Just as eminently fitted to make
life Il joy for others, the shock is even
greater. BY wreck on the Southern
Railway, near Lynehburg. Va, last
Thursday, President Spencer, OF the
Southern Railway, was cremated In his
private car. his friend. Gen. Philip
Schuyler, and seven others were killed.
The wreck was caused by the disobeyai
of orders by some one.
President Spencer was In his private
car on his way for Thanksgiving hunt,
and had invited Gen. Schuyler to go
with him.
Mr.. Spencer enjoyed the reputation
of being one of the best railway Presi-
dents and one in whom all the people
had as much confidence, il not more,
than any other railway official filling
similar position with other roads, Oh
account of his uprightness, candor and
general stability of character
Mr.. Spencer was appointed to a posi-
ton as clerk to the Superintendent of
the New Jersey Southern Railroad in
1872. 4 few months later he was made
Assistant Superintendent of Trains on
first division of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, which was about May, 1873.
In 1873 he was appointed Superintend-
ent of Transportation of the Virginia
Midland Railroad, now a component
part of the Southern Railway, on which
line he met with the fatal accident on
Day. He retired from
The Southern Railway in 1879, and as
sumed the duties of Superintendent of
the Long Island Railroad. About 1890
he returned to the Baltimore & Ohio
as assistant to the President, John W.
Garrett. In 1881 ne was made Third

Railroad, in 1884 Second Vice Presi-

President Spencer was born in Geor-
gia in 1847, and % years later grad.

versity of Virginia. Immediately, as
rodman and chain carrier. he entered
railroad work, utilizing his professional
education. His first work in this hum
BILE capacity was with the Savannah &
Memphis. minor line long since abb
sorbed into the great Southern system.
He went to the New Jersey Southern
in clerical capacity, and thence to
the Baltimore & Ohio in 1879 as as
sistant to- the President
Here his career of development as a
railroad manager really began. His
knowledge of the lower rounds of the
ladder helped in his climbing for the
higher places, and he was an indomit-
able worker. To his effort is due much
of the credit for the resurrection of the
Baltimore & Ohio. He was sent to be
Acting General Manager of the trans
Ohio lines of this system; then he was
advanced to be, successfully, Third Vice
President. Second Vice President. Vice
President and President of the system.
By the most exacting attention to his
work he attracted the attention of ]. p.
Morgan. the railroad king, and was one
of his chosen friends to the end. Hel
was with the Morgan house from 1889
till in June. 1894, he was made Presi-
dent of the Southern. He has remained
in that position ever since. and the
splendid financial and traffic showing
of the system is the best evidence Of
his genius.
Since 1895 Mr.. Spencer also had been
President of the Georgia Southern &
Florida Railroad Company. and since
1899 of the New Orleans & Texas. He
was. likewise President of the Cincin-
natl. New Orleans & Texas and the At
lanta & Great Southern. all componentsi
of the Southern Railway system. Inl
addition he was a Director on the Erie
and the Central of Georgia Railwaysi
and the Old Dominion Steamship Line,
all Morgan properties. and in the West |
ern Union Telegraph Company.
His death is a distinct loss in every
way to business, to railroad progress
and to his friends, of whom he had a
legion.
At o'clock on Sunday, when his body
was being consigned to the grave. every |
wheel on the six or more railroads
with which he was connected was
stopt for five minutes. Every freight
and passenger station controlled by the
Southern lines was draped in honor of
his memory in the deepest black. and
will remain so draped for 80 days.
