Local business mon are inaulging in
considerable speculation as to what
the object Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road is in buying up all the available
ground along it's right Of way, east of
the river. Various purposes the com
pany is alleged to have in view has
been advanced.
1t is stated that the company will
probably use the property it already
has secured, the site of the defunCt
City Mill Works and the Hawkins
property, for years used as show
grounds, as sites for factories, space to
increase the yard facilities and for
the erection of an additional repair
shop.
The territory through which the
railroad operates in this city east of
the river. is congested on each side
Of the right Of way with factory
buildings It is stated that the COM
pany realizes that if in the future it
intends to materially increase it's local
freight business more factories must
be located along its right of way. With
this end in view, It is stated, the COM
pany will use part of the territory
it has secured, for factory sites. To
| induce out of town manufacturing
concerns to locate here, it is stated,
the company will offer to lease sites
/ at a nominal rental price.
Richmond is one of the most import

citys importance as a railroad center
will steadily grow. The company re-
allies, it is pointed out, that within a

Girardin's Satisfaction and a Winning

NJ. de Girardin did not know. nit the
bullseye at every shot. Several by
ISLANDERS expressed themselves in very
great admiration of the gentleman's
precision.
Yes" said De Girardin. "he shoots
remarkably we'll, but it's quite a differ
ent thing to hit a man in duel from
hitting piece of pasteboard.'
The marksman overheard the remark
and was offended.
Il think you are mistaken, sir" he
said to De Girardin. Il assure you that
If had you before me 1 shouldn't miss
you"
you can have me when you like, -
said De Girardin.
Let it be Immediately, then" said
the other
An attempt was made to patch the
matter up. but neither man would
agree to an amicable settlement The
seconds were chosen, and the men
went to locality favorable for the
| duel. 1t was decided that they should
fire separately, and it was left to a de,
cision by lot which fired first.
The lot fell to the mysterious marks
man. He fred at NJ. de Girardin and
missed him. De Girardin stood still
making no sign as If to fire at his an
! tagonist.
Come. why don't you shoot" asked
| his seconds.
"Why should I shoot?" asked De Gil
rardin. There is no reason why

POISONING AS A FINE ART.
Scale of Prices Submitted to the Vene-
tan Council Of Ten.

Venetian prisoners first came into
notoriety In the fifteenth century. At
that period the mania for poisoning
had risen to such a height that the
governments Of the states were form
ally recognizing secret assassination
by poison and considering the removal
of emperOrs, princes and powerful no
bles by this method.
The notorious council Of ten met to
consider such plans, and an account
and record of their proceedings still ex-
lists. giving the number of those who
voted for and who voted against the
proposed removal, the reasons for the
assassina ton and the sum to be paid
for it's execution.
Thus these conspirators quietly ar
ranged to take the lives of many prom
inent individuals. and when the deed
was executed it was registered on the
margin Of their official record by the
significant word "factum."
On Dec. Is. 1913. John OF Raguba
offered the council a selection of poi
sons and declared himself ready to re
move any person whom they deemed
objectionable out of the way. Hs
calmly stated his terms. which for the
first successful case were to be a pen
sion of 500 ducats a year, to be in
creased on the execution of further
services.
The presidents Guolando Duoda ant
Pietro Guiarni placed this matter be
fore the council on Jan. 4. 1914. anC
on a division IL was resolved to accep
this patriotic offer and to experiment
first on the Emperor Macmillan. John
who had evidently reduced poisonin:
to a fine art. submitted afterward
regular graduated tariff TO the council
The highest fee was for poisoning tn
sultan. 500 ducats; for the king o
Spain, $50 ducats. including the ex
penses of the journey: for the Duke o
Milan. 60 ducats: for the Marquis o
Mantua. so ducats; for the pope, IS

Shaeks Torn Down at Reno by the

Reno, Nov. 2.-Because their houses had been declared unsanitary by the grand jury, about a hundred China men of Reno were made homeless today when the shacks in which they lived were torn down under the direc- ton of the city officials.
 What will become of the homeless Chinamen the municipal authorities are unable to say.

Every day now is "Our Busy Day" in contest headquarters. Look at the scores this morning. Joe. the quiet smiling faced Joe, hustled long and hard yesterday. with a result that this morning his name appears the very next one to the top, with but a few hundred points from being in the lead.
 Geo. Luhrs, another of the ones that work necessarily. made good show ing and is but 52 points behind Joe. George yesterday got up at six o'clock in the morning and started hustling. so there is a reason for Georges big score. George secured beside his re- newals, four new subscriptions. Hazel has not had very good luck lately, but she has an ineXhaustable supply of energy and as her opponents well know, she will give them much to think of before the close of the week.
 NEWS FROM BUCKEYE
 Birdie Fowler took little trip to Buckeye, with a result of a nicely in creased score from a bunch of new subscriptions. Birdie was the second contestant to visit that country. Rob- ert Holley secured several thousand points largely from new subscriptions down there several weeks ago.
 Mary Kerr added to her score. Mary is one of The Republicans most un- tiring workers and her generousness has several times been the cause of agreeable comment in headquarters. Yesterday she brought to Birdie Fowl CT, 75 cents as payment on a new sub scription that some friend wanted her to give Birdie. There is a great deal of fighting among the contestants, but it is all exceedingly friendly, and all are frequently heard wishing the oth- CTS good luck. It would be a grand lesson to older heads that are in busi- ness opposition to each other to see The Republican contestants operation in this respect. Each one is after every bit of business that is at all ob tainable. but it Is never to any disad- vantage of some other contestant.
 Annette Earle, as usual brought in some business, but yesterday it was very strong, in that there was a good percentage of new subscriptions in her bundle.
