The Pennsylvania Railroad has built thousands of miles

constructed or absorbed branch lines and consolidated them

COUNSEL FOR ILLINOIS
CENTRAL MAKES REPLY,

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Attorney j. NJ.
Dickinson, counsel for the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad Company, in a reply brief
filed before Judge Ball yesterday in
the injunction suit brought by Stuyve-
SAINT Fish to prevent the voting of Illi-
nois Central stock held by the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, asserts that
the defendants have failed to show in
their bill that damage will result to
them Mess the injunction is granted.
The dissolution of the temporary in
junction, Attorney Dickinson declares,
would be beneficial to the railroad. On
this point he says:
1.-THE effect of dissolving the i%njunc-
ton will be to elect one unnamed per-
son and reflect three directors who
have for years been identified with the
management of the company and who
nave been repeatedly indorsed by the
stockholders, thus holding the present

Reformed Clergyman Says that
Church of Future Won't Be
Founded on a Book.

BAYONNE, Feb. 4~-Speaking last
night in defense of his declarations in
thA First Reformed Church. of which
he is pastor, that much that was writ
ten in the Bible is mythical, the Rev.
William II. Boocock. whose views are
the talk of the church people Of this
city, said:
IF any church representing Chris
tianity is to live it must touch the life
of the people at all points. Let's away
with the thought that the pastor is to
talk about nothing ave the divinity of
Christ, the infallibility of the Bible,
and so on, with endless firstlies. sec
ondlies and ~thirdlies adfnitum. Let's
get out of the idea that religion is as
ISOLATED with black coats and Sunday.
"If there is in any town any public
matter of Importance to the whole
people living there, let the pastors IF
the churches, the deacons, elders and
the congregation get out and work for
it. Let the pastor talk about it in his
pulpit. A universal fraternal spirit will
be the living spirit of the church of
tomorrow"
Pastor Boocock believes that the
present-day church is dying, choked to
death by old forms and church sys-
tens. He believes hat Christianity.
real Christianity, is being born again.
The church of tomorrow, the real
church. will be foup6ed not upon a
book, but upon a personality, he de-
clares.
Let me preach the truth" is the
c~lergyrnan's appeal to his people, a
number of whom are much put out
with him for his statements. Mr.. Boo
cock, a graduate of Rutgers College,
pastor of his present charge for eight
years and a minister for twenty years,
says, that he will not let himself think
of tile consequences in a material way
of his words and actions, will preach
hereafter exactly as he thinks and has
asked his flock to stand by him.
The Bayonne preacher is reported
as having said: IF I had known TWEEN.

A Big BLAZE
Shaft House on the Chicago
Carr Mine Burns to the
Ground.
ORIGIN is A MYSTERY

Fire totally destroyed the shaft house
and machinery on the Chicago Carl
this morning. The blaze was first dis.
covered by Night Marshal Gus Kruse
shortly after 4 o'clock. He turned in
an alarm and the department responded
but was unable to save the building as
there is no water supply at the mine.
The chemical engine was put in service
and was used successfully in controlling
the fire in the shaft. The shaft only
burned fifty or sixty feet down when
the flames were extinguished.
There was small supply of powder
in the shaft house and about three bar
rels of gasoline. This exploded and
aided the flames in making the destruc-
ton of the building complete. How the
fire originated is mystery and the be-
lief is that it was of incendiary origin.
Only one shift is worked at the mine,
the day shift, and there was no fire on
the premises from which the confagra-
ton could have started.

the damage will amount to over $40, 900.

Death Of Glen Heuer.

A telegram was received in this city
Sunday evening by the family of Mr..
Glen Heuer stating that he was in
very precarious condition. On Tuesday
morning another telegram was received
stating that he had passed away at
Goldfeld, Nevada, of pneumonia.
About five months ago Mr.. Heuer re-
turned to this city from the Clark min
eral springs at Pueblo, where he had
been in attendance for the cure of a
complication of kidney troubles. After
short visit here with his family he de-
cided to make the trip to California in
the hope that the change of climate
would be beneficial to him. He did so,
and engaged in the chicken ranch busi-
ness near Los Angeles with gentle
man from Littleton, Colorado. Becom-
ing tired of raising chickens he sold out
his interest in the ranch and went to
Goldfeld, Nevada, to cast his lot with
the rest of the gold seekers. He was
there only short time when he con-
tracted pneumonia which, in addition to
the other ailments, terminated in his
death. James DAILY, former Gilpinite,
and lifelong friend of Mr.. Heuer, was
with him to the end and administered to
the sick as only friend can.
The remains are expected to arrive in
this city Friday evening. The funeral
will take place Sunday morning from
the Church of the Assumption.
Z. H. Heuer was AZ years of age and
has been a resident of this county for
the past twenty-five or thirty years,
coming here from Quincy, ILL.,, when a
young man. He was married seventeen
years ago last Tuesday, the date of the
fatal telegram. to Miss Margaret Slat.
terry. eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
John Slattery of this city and old pio
neer residents of the county. Of this
union seven children were born, the
oldest being l6 years while the youngest
is only nine months old. To the father
less children and sorrowing widow, a.
well as three sisters in the east who ar,
left to mourn his loss, the entire com
munity joins with the Observer in ex
tending its heartfelt sympathy.
The sisters of the deceased are Oh

and they are expected to arrive in thi

Eleven Tons of Smelling Ore
Brings $4,000 Mach
inery for the Mine.
OTHER MINING NEWS

A shipment of smelling ore from the
brought most satisfactory returns. A
car containing II tons of the ore was
sent to the Argo smelters and returns
were received Saturday. There were
six tons of the first class and five tons
of the second. The first went 81. Sc
ounces gold and a ounces silver. The
second, 1888 ounces gold and ounces
silver. The sum received for the ship
ment was So, 800. 90. Three tons of the
ore were taken to the sampler in Black
Hawk yesterday and settlement on Is
ounces to the ton was made. These
lunches of ore were taken out by two
men in the 140-foot level, the only level
in the mine that is open. The streak
averages about foot in width. The
ore is of the cobalite variety and its
richness is such that two men can take
out 81 900 week. 1t is a character
of ore that will not pan and for that
reason the War Dance was passed up
by numerous miners who examined the
proposition.
The ore that has been shipped was
hoisted with windlass. This system
has been abandoned and a shaft house
is being built and gasoline engine will
be installed within few days. This
will enable the pool to sink and open up
more of the old levels. If the rich ore
holds out, and the indications are most
promising that it will, fortune is to
be made out of the War Dance. Since
the big strike in the War Dance numer-
Gus miners have been prospecting in
the vicinity of the mine, to see if they
can't discover something of equal rich
ness. Messrs. Mike and John Klais,
Reu and Chas. Manhire, Chas Richards
and Neil Mckay, the gentlemen COM
prising the pool working the War Dance,
have hopes of landing in the millionaire
class and already have fair start in
that direction.

feet. Seventy-five feet We're sunk dur

ways at the 3O0-foot level in the lpava.
In the shaft of the Ipava there is 2 l-2
feet of iron and in the Gopher feet.
This is smelling ore and while it is be-

surface at the Ipava and about 90 tons
at the Gopher.
A shaft house and plant of machinery
is being put up on the Centennial lode,
