Definite Information AS
To Baton Rouge, Ham,
mOnd and Eastern
Railroad.

Baton Rouge, La, Sept. 10
Definite information regarding the
ownership Of the Baton Rouge,
Hammond and Eastern Railroad
was given out here to day when it
was announced BY officials of the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley that
that road would lay the track of
the Baton Rouge, Hammond aud
Eastern.
When the fact that the Illinois
Central interests had purchased the
Baton Rouge Hammond and East
ern was first published IN the
Plcayune, it was denied by the
Illinois Central people and the
officials of the Baton Rouge, Ham
mond and Eastern. The Illinois
Central officials were technically
right in their statements, inasmuch
as the Baton Rouge, Hammond
.ar nss.4 zE.sss - > ztzr >lsssisss<
and Eastern was not acquired by
the Illinois Central proper, but by
interests subordinate to the Illinois
Central.
The publication of the real situ'
alton with respect to the Baton
Rouge, Hammond and Eastern in
The Plcsyune has resulted in an
enormous saving TO the people oil
Covlngton, Hammond and othel
towns and communities which had
promised bonuses to the road If II
would fulfill certain conditions.
The Illinois Central having pur-
chased the road, the old officials Of
the Baton Rouge, Hammond ane
Eastern are not IN a position Il
speak for that line.
The road will be built TO Gov
lngton by the Illinois Central.

Deposits of Candidates

Baton Rouge, La, Sept. 49,
Some of the parochial candidates
have been under the impression
that they would have to make a
deposit of $3.50 with the Secretary
of State in order to get their names
upon the primary election ticket,
and they have sought information
on the subject from officials.
Only the candidates for State
Offices will have to make a deposit
of $3.50 with the Secretary OF
State, which they will have re-
turned to them by that official If
they poll at least 10 per cent of the
total votes cast.
The parochial and ward officers
will have no deposit to make with
the Secretary of State under the
terms of the primary election law
Their deposits will have to be
made at the direction of the Parish
Executive Committee and for the
amount that the Committee thinks
it il necessary to assess each candi'
date to defraY the expenses of the
primary election. The Parish Com
| mittee will estimate the cost of thu
primary and make each candidate
pay his proportlonate share o.
the expense. This will be the ex-
tent Of the deposit that the paro
chlal candidates will have to make

Shall We Be Embalmed
or Petrified !?

The New York World is respon.
slble for the announcement that
Agnostino Crosse, chemist of
Vercrlli Italy, now stopping at II
St. Luke's Place, declares he has
found a way to turn organic sub
stances into stone.
The chemist has brought with
him several substances upon which
he has tried his process, the basis
of which Is chemical, the nature
of which he holds a profound Sc.
cret. Crosse discovered it by the
merest accident. Fourteen years
ago, while he was IN Peru, he had
occasion to send q case of eggs to
Ecuador. He had no way of re-
frgeratlng the consignment, and
began experimenting with preserv-
atives. He bored tiny holes III the
eggs and a few hours later found
every one of them as hard as
rock. He tried 10 break the shells
but could not make the slightest
dent.
Crosse held the eggs before
a strong light and was surprised
10 find that the yolk and white of
each one were as perfect as before
petrlfaclion. He continued his
experiments on beef and vegeta-
bles. The results were the same
with each trial. No matter how
soft the original substance, 1t was
converted Ito stone.
The chemist went back TO Yer
celli, and before gathering OF
doctors at the Hospital Marliziano
gave a series of demonstrations
The body of dog was petrlfed in
standing position, and the animal
was made to look as natural as In
life. Beetles, frogs, snakes and
other things were put through the
process, and after being petriied
retained their litelike appearance
In each instance the chemist in
occuIated the specimen with
small quantity of the mysterious
drug by means OF hypodermic
syringe. Crosse was always care
full that the spectators should moi
see the chemical. Whenever be
used it he went behind a screen,
then brought the specimen out and
allowed the doctors to watch the
process of petri6cation as it went
on
Crosse says it takes about three
hours. He has among his specl'
mems here a chicken that was petri'
fed, wings and all. This, he says.
was done three years ago. The
chicken looks about as 1t would in
the barn ward Its eyes have their
original luster and every detail If
perfect
'By my process, said Crosse,
81 will be able to preserve animals
exactly as they appear 10 life Il
can petrlfy an elephant as easily
as tiny bug 1t is all done the
same way by the use of the chemi
cal and the hypodermic syringe

Work on Streets
Going Finely.

In conversation with Street Commits
sioner Rowe yesterday, the Journal
representative was told some interest
ing facts regarding the work being
done on the streets and some of the
plans which the Commissioner has
been experimenting upon.
"How many miles of streets are
there in the city?" asked the Jour-
nal representative.
81 can tell you only approximately.
but how many would you figure ito"
bantered the commissioner.
The Journal man got out his pencil
and did a little figuring.
Fifty" came the answer.
"Well. Il few more than that" said
Commissioner Rowe. Gust to give you
an idea Of the ctent of our city streets:
1 used two horses last summer in driv-
ing within the city's limits and near
ly wore them out, never realizing that
I was covering so much ground. I
can't give you the eact number but
when you figure the length of the
principal streets and the cross streets,
you will find they will amount to over
100 miles. 1t isn't any easy job to keep
that number of miles in good condi-
ton"
The street crews are at present en-
gagged on Factory hill, where work on
a good piece of drainage system is be-
ing Gone.

RAILROAD HEARING,
Commissioners Give Hearing on Lewiston,
Augusta & Waterville Road En-
tering Waterville..

A hearing was held Thursday morn
ing at the superior court room in the
City building before the Board of Rail-
road Commissioners in regard to the
Lewiston. Augusta and Waterville
Electric Co. entering this city and the
proposed route over which it shall
travel. The meeting was not largely
attended there being but a few inter-
ested ones from each of the municipali-
ties.
Hon. II. NJ. Heath of Augusta and
John f. Nelson of this city appeared
for the railroad company, Mayor L. G.
Bunker for the city of Waterville, and
Hon. w. c. Philbrook for the town of
Winslow and the Merrill, Runnells and
Mayo Company.
Mr.. Heath laid before the board the
intentions of the promoters after cross
ing the Ticonic bridge. 1t was their
plan to come up Lockwood street on
the west side and to lay tracks through
the middle of Front street. The center,
rather than the east side was taken in
accordance with the sentiment of the
residents in that section. The Kenne-
bee Water District Company have
their pipes laid on the east side and
would be a great inconvenience to
them The counsel for the railroad
gave reasons to believe that there
would be plenty of room for traffic on
both sides should the track be laid in
the center of the street.
From Front street the line would
swing up Temple. and the promoters
idea when petitioning for this street
was to make connection with the
Waterville and Oakland road. Mr.
Heath stated that the new company
would try to make a contract with the
Waterville & Fairfield Company for
the use of their tracks through Main
street to Bridge and in this way form
a loop. Several plans of the line and
the intersecting streets We're presented
before the board
Hon. w. c. Philbrook although
representing the town of Winslow ap-
peared chiefly in behalf of the Merrill.

corporation runs two places of bust

| ness in this city, one at the northern
part and the other near the Ticonic
bridge. They also have a building,
which is used as store house, on the
cas- side of Front near the junction
Of Temple street. The land on which
the building is erected is owned by
the Maine Central Railroad who will
not lease it for longer term than one
year. The Merrill, Runnells and
Mayo Company propose to add another
building on the south adjoining lot,
and claim that if the electric road is
run through the center of the street
1t will be great Inconvenience to their
business. Mr.. Merrill of the said cor
poration was present and through his
attorney, Mr.. Philbrook. presented his
objections. He claimed that when
teams We're loading or unloading and
backed up to the doors of the build
ing. at right angles to the track the
horses would stand in the center of
the track, according to measurement.
Mr.. Merrill thought that reverse
curve might be laid thus bringing the
track along the other side of the
street in front of his building. This
idea cid not find much favor in the
minds of any and Mayor Bunker
thought it would be of more incOn-
venience to the general public, than
the laying of the track in the center
would be to Mr.. Merrill.
Mr.. Heath stated that it would be
impossible to lay their tracks any
where except in the center of the
street in order to make the turn onto
Temple.
After discussing this question for
some length the board finally decided
to make visit to the spot and in the
exact situation, on careful examina-
ton and by making a few measure
ments. the investigating parties We're
convinced that through the center of
the street would be the better location.
The commissioners returned to the
court room and the matter was dis
cussed considerably.
Several other matters We're laid over
until the next meeting of the commits
SiOners, at which time the Ticonic
bridge hearing will be considered.
