RUNAWAY LAD TAXES OWN LIFE.
Tennessee Boys Pathetic End Far
Away From H0me-Pitiable
Tragedy.

Greenville, July 2.-Rov Roach,
17-year-old runaway lad. of Jefferson
City, Tenn, was killed in a playful at
tempt at suicide, at Old Hundred,
settlement in Oakland township, some
eighteen miles below Greenville coun-
ty court house, sbout o'clock Satur-
day afternoon. The circumstances sur
rounding the tragedy are most pitiable
The lad came to Greenville some
three months ago and sought employ
n1ent on the farm Of Arvin Boyce, near
Old Hundred. He worked faithfully
and gave every indication of being a
trustworthy young fellow. Saturday
afternoon he and a thirteen-year-old
boy, Fred Austin, son of County Com
missioner j. NJ. Austin, we're in a
room together in the house of j. L.
Pearson, brother-in-law Of the Aus
tin lad.
According to the testimony offered
by young Austin at the coroner's in
quest today, the two were preparing to
go to branch to go in swimming.
Young Austin said that, while he was
dressing, Roy Roach picked up a
breech-loading gun and asked Austin
~ +o1, - m
said he told Roach to look out, for the
gun might be loaded, whereupon the
lad replied that he did not care. In
an instant the Roach lad had fallen to
the floor, the right side of his throat
being torn away by the discharge from
the gun. Young Austin ran for help
and soon returned to the house with
several neighbors.
Testimony offered at the inquest by
those first to reach the scene Of the
tragedy is somewhat puzzling. a sim
gle-barrelled gun with a discharged
shell in it was found standing in
far corner of the room. Near the body,
and leaning against the side of a bed,
was a repeating shotgun, with loaded
sheels in it.
Efforts have been made to locate the
lads people in Jefferson City, but so far
no word has been received from any
one. A heartrending scene, and one
that moved the Jurors at the inquest
to tears, was the reading of a letter
found in the dead boys pocket The
communication was from the boys
father and the burden Of it was pray
er to the wandering boy to come nome.
"I look for you on every train, my
boy" the letter ran. "Oh, when will
you return homer The last para
graph of the letter read: "Roy, No. II
has just gone by and I had to stop
writing and look out to see if you had
gotten off. Come back, boy, and bring
the old banjo.''
The body was brought to Greeenville
tonight and enbalmed. A purse Of $50
was made up by those who attended
the inquest to defray the expenses of
shipping the body home, in case the
parents can ibe found.

ROB FAST NAIL TRAIN.
Express and Postal Cars Rjiled Near
Erie. Pa.-TWo OF Crew Badly
Hurt.

Erie, Pa, June 30.-A fast mail an(
passenger train On the Philadelphia &
Erie railroad was held up tonight tlVf
miles from here by band of dozer
masked men. The mail and express
cars were rifed and two Of the ere"
C. H. Block, of Erie, mail clerk, ane
H. D. Rooney, of Erie, conductor, were
injured.
Block was shot in the right side anc
was taken to hospital in a dying
condition. Rooney received serious
injuries when he was hit with stone
taaown by one of the robbers.
Be train was due in this city al
"a tonight. A few minutes before
clock, when the train was max
a large curve, the engineer sa"
obstruction ahead. He applied the
kakes, but could not stop the train
efore the engine crashed into the ties
nd telegraph poles placed across the
rack.
$ Thought It Was Collision.
@k When the train hit the obstruction
SE was believed by the passengers that
here had been collision with another
#train. The next moment, however, the
Pcrack Of revolvers acquainted them
with the real cause of the trains stop.
AS the train came to a standstlll sew
eral of the passengers alighted to
learn the trouble. Their presence
drew the fire of the band Of masked
men and there was a stampede to re-
enter the cars
An unknown passenger caught hold
Of one Of the robbers and was picked
I'D bodily and thrown over S0-toot
enbankment. His condition is serious.
Command the Doors.
Almost before the train had reached
the obstruction the masked men had
taken up their positions at practlcally
every entrance to the cars. When the
passengers began pouring from the
cars there were few gruf orders
from the men to get back inside. When
a number of the excited passengers
failed to take this advice, the bandits
opened FIRE. They shot along the
sides Of. the cars, level with the win
dows, and this evidently put an end to
the curiosity of the passengers. A
number of women tainted while the
screams of others caused much con-
fcsion. The train arrived in this city
about midnight. The passengers were
badly frightened and could not give
connected story Of what had occurred.
According to the opinion here 1t
was not a train that expert robbers
could be expected to attack. 1t is be-
heved the bandits were foreigners.

New Turn in New Hampshire
Controversy
MOVE TO MAKERAlLR0ADS
Obey is Before Legislature-Act Relates
to Boston & Maine Leases-Pro-
vides Against the Increase of
Rates on New Lines.

Concord, n. H., March pa new
element was introduced to-day into the
consideration by the legislature of the
railroad rates questions, when Repre-
sentative James c. Piper of Stntham
introduced in the House concurrent
resolution declaring that "it is our opin-
ion that the Governor should instruct
the Encouragement to take such ae-
ton as may be necessary to compel
the railroads TO obey the law forth
with" On Mr.. Piper's motion the
consideration of the resolution was
made special order for next Thurs.
day afternoon.
The statutes which the resolution
seeks to have enforced are those en-
acted in 1888 and 1889 authorizing the
Boston s. Maine railroad to lease nu.
merous smaller lines in New Hamp-
shire and containing the express pro-
vision that no rates in force on those
lines at the time the statutes were
enacted should at any future time be
increased A few years ago the Bos-
ton & Maine increased certain freight
rates on these lines. For some time
the state took no action in the mat
ter, but finally the attorney general
brought suit to have the railroad re-
strained from continuing in force the
higher rates. The superior court de-
cided against the railroads which APP
pealed to the supreme court. The
supreme court upheld the lower court
and expressly defined the lines on
which the higher rates We're illegal.
A special committee of the present
legislature to which the question of
legalizing these rates was referred last
week recommended that the Boston
Maine be permitted TO continue the
rates In force until more thorough
investigation as to the necessity of such
rates could be made, with the provision
that in case the rates should be finally
declared unjustifable, the railroad
should refund the excess charged during
the period of investigation The legis-
lature has not yet acted on the COM
mittee's report.

NO ATTEMPT
TO PURCHASE.
New Haven Road Has Not Bought the
B. g. Alas, However, Concluded
Arrangements, Which Are
in Interest of the Public.

Boston, March 29.--In a statement de-
nying the reported purchase of the Bos-
ton & Albany railroad by the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad, it
was announced at the local offices of
the latter road yesterday that arrange
ments had been made for the joint use
by the two roads of certain portions
Of the Boston & Albany.
The statement follows:
THE New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad has not bought or sought
to buy the Boston q Albany railroad
and has no control over its operations.
1T has entered into arrangements
with the New York Central (the lessee
of the Boston & Albany railroadl look
ing to an increased traffic by way OF
the Boston & Albany functions, and
will probably, in the near future, per.
feet arrangements by which il will run
its own trains, with its own power, over
portions of the Boston & Albany lines,
notably between South birmingham and
Boston, between Ashlands and South
birmingham; between Ludlow and
Springfield in connection with the pro-
jected Hampden railroad extension of
the central Massachusetts, and between
Pittsfeld and North Adams
"These arrangements are so obvious
" in the public interests it is unnec-
essary to enlarge upon the beneficial re-
suits that are bound to follow"
Through its holdings and leases, the
New York, New Haven & Hartford con-
trolls the Boston & Maine, Maine Cen
trial, Washington County, Somerville,
Montpelier & Wells River, Barre rail-
way and other lines. The New Haven
system through its connections recently
acquired controlling interest in the
Rutland road, for several years operated
solely by the New York Central lines.
With the exception of the Boston &
Albany, the only through traffic competi-
tor of the New Haven system in New
England is the Grand Trunk, which, by
its leased lines, extends to Portland, Me-,
and New London, Ct, and is contemplat-
ing the construction of a new line from
Palmer, Mass, to Providence, with pos
siblv another extension to Boston.
