TROUBLE PLENTY
ON HORIZON, SAYS
NATIONS ADVISER
Professor Meyer, Hoboken's As
troIoger, Predicts Dire Trouble
in Letter to the STAR.

Again Professor Gustave Meyer, the
American scientific astrologer, of Ho-
boken, who has won for himself the
title of THE Nations Counselor" reads
disaster in the stars. Professor Meyer
reads so much disaster that it seems
hardly proper to start folks worrying
about what he says is going to happen.
In order that the events Of the imme-
diate future may later be compared
with the professors dire prophecy,
some Of it is herewith appended:
t..As an American astrologer through
the medium of your paper l wish to
state that the Starry Messengers indi-
cate and impart to me the fact that
during the balance of this year the
revenue of Uncle Sam will greatly in
crease; thai much benefit Is indicated
in particular to our p~ostoffce depart
ments and railroads; much benefit is
indicated to farmers, mining, land or
real estate owners, however,; much
trouble Is Indicated to occur to u
President and much internal troubles,
such as strikes and riots, etc.
Our good President should guard
against serious Illness or accident, If
not an attempt on his life, and / find
that his life will be IN jeopardy espe-
cially during the latter part Of No
vember and fore part and middle of
December.
Literary, professional n scientific
people will be more fortunate and pros-
than. usual.
1.-THE stars further say that peculiar
- AI.~astsAc will nnnllr
to our naval vessels and that much
peculiar and unexpected trouble or loss
will occur in our Navy Department,
and 1t would be highly advisable for
our naval commanders to be more
than usual and guard against
some epidemic In the navy.
II fear that much trouble, if not
an uprising, will occur in the Philip
pines, hence our government should
make immediate preparations to guard
against such.
"Calamities of magnitude will occur
Ian and sea, and I fear that some
ocean liner will either go down or will
have a serious fire at sea and that
much loss OF life will result thereby.
Remarkable and peculiar atmospher-
ical disturbances will be much in evil
dence, as well as earthquakes. which
will also cause much loss of life and
property in particular. especially so
the very close of this year and
fore part of 1910. when I look for
earthquakes to occur in the
portion of this country and in
italy; but we will also hear of serious
eruptions of Mt. Etna, Mt. Stromboli
and Mt. vesuvius. which I fear will
also cause great loss Of life and prop
erty. r.
Church attendance will fall off con-
siderable. and much trouble or great
scandal will occur among members of
the bar, press and clergy.
During the latter part of Decem-
Der and throughout January we will
experience some of9the greatest storms
and cold weather in many years, If not
blizzard weather, and very hard times"

W0ROY WAR At
TRIAL OF ALLEGED
HORSE PRISONERS
Clashes Between Coun-
sci for Plaintiffs and Pros
ecutOr Enliyen Hearing.

Hot words outside of the evidence
flew thick and fast in the Court of
Quarter Sessions, part l., before Judge
Ten Eyck today, where the trial of
Nathan Gruber, OF 116 Chapel street,
and Samuel Harris, charged with con-
spring to poison horses belonging to
Nathan Zemel, of 50 Vincent street,
Gruber's brother-in-law, Is under way.
The words were banded between
Frank M. McDermit, counsel for the
plaintiffs, and First Assistant Prosecu-
tor Thomas L. Raymond, the represen-
tative of the State. and were particu-
larly warm while Plainclothesman
Brex, of the Third Precinct, was on
the witness-stand. He testified that
a mar of the name of Lesser had told
him that Harris had bought a pound
of arsenic on q certain occasion. The
poisoning occurred early last month,
and the defendants have been under
heavy bail since then.
Let us be fair about thisi" shouted
Mr.. McDermit. as the officers damaging
testimony unfolded itself. .
II wish you would be fair. for a
change" retorted Mr.. Raymond.
''yyill you sum up later, or are you
doing SO now?" came from Mr.. Ray
mond a little later. He also sharply
objected to Mr.. McDermit's methods of
extracting information by saying, Il
won't have this witness attacked"
He is showing a very warm inter-
est in this case" came from MI. Me-
Dermit next.
81 object to fireworks and stump
speeches." was Mr.. Raymond's COM
ment.
Then, after Mr.. Raymond had drawn
out the fact that one OF h threads
in the case led to a freight-jumping
episode in Cincinnati. Mr.. McDermit
out:
by and by we will have this issue
either in hades or in heaven"
Mr.. Raymond smiled. insisted on his
point, and the taking of the testimony
more smoothly forward.
Gruber put in a general denial of
the charge, and Harris did not go upon
the witness-stand at all. After the
have summed up and the court
late this afternoon, the jury
will try to agree upon a verdict.

The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-12-11

~ OLDFIELD will immensely benefit by the building of the new
railroad, the benefits being so numerous as hardly to be
- enumerated.
In the first place, Goldfeld will be located upon. a trunk line
from the eastern to the western coast from Salt Lake as the gateway,
to Los Angeles. This not only insures faster trains each way from
Goldfeld, but also means that the camp will be visited by thousands
annually, who now find the side trip to be inconvenient in time and
money.
From Salt Lake to Goldfeld by the Southern Pacific is sos miles
from Salt Lake to Goldfed by the Clark road, is 63 miles from
Salt Lake to Goldfeld via the new Ely-Goldfeld line is only 487 miles.
Thus there will be a saving of 38 miles over the Southern Pacific
and 156 miles over the CLARK road, or ten hours saving in actual
running time over the former and at least five hours saving over the
latter. But the real saving in time over either routes will be much
greater, as a great deal of time is lost at connections both at Las
Vegas on the CLARK road, and Reno on the Southern Pacific.
as a result this community will doubtless enjoy great concessions in
the way of freight and passenger rates. The Clark and the Southern
Pacific roads are both practically under the same management-at
least 30 per cent OF the Clark road stock is held by the Southern
Pacific, and consequently there is no competition between them for
business to speak OF, and their rates are pooled. But the Ely road
Southern Pacific on the north and the Clark road on the south. with
the advantage of shorter distance and time. Lower freight rates
commercial enterprise can thrive here. Merchants and Others doing
business are compelled to charge such high prices that consumers
order business is greater from Goldfeld than from any other town in
the country Of its size, and the express business with exhorbitant
charges, is porportionately large. And charges on express business
will also come down under the new regime. The WensFargo has
controlled this field by buying out its competitor and thereby has
been enabled to levy outrageous tolls upon local business. With
the advent of the new road will doubtless come another express COM
pany and with the resultant competition, lower charges.
The foregoing are some of the larger benefits that will accrue to
|Goldfed upon the completion Of the new Ely road. But others more
direct will come from the handling of the first shovel full of dirt. It
will take hundreds of laborers to build the road, and many thousands
of dollars will be spent for provisions and equipment for men and
work will be spent in Gold6eld and put in circulation here. Every
able bodied man wanting employment can get it ION the grade' and
during the coming year business should be humming in this camp.
With the building Of the new Ely road and the coming Of the
|Tonopah and Goldfeld shops. we should look forward to the future
then no longer be simply q .one-man mining town.. but = railroad
and commercial center of Importance and size.
