a ee i a AES EEE ELLOS LE ~GLEARING SALE PACIFIC EXTENSION. THE MO., te Pe » there t The Ft. Scott Monitor in recount- ing its late railroad maneuvres says: “The peculiar conformation of Ft. Scott andthe surrounding country | and the rights acquired here by oth- er systems made it somewhat diffi- cult and comparatively expensive for another line of railroad te gain entrance to the city and secure de- sirable facilities. All carefully ob- servant residente of thecity have re- alized however, that the true interests of Fort Scott required that all obsta- cles should be overcome and the way paved for securing such a connec- tion with the Missouri Pacific sys- tem in this city as its location and commercial importance demanded. “Accordingly the subject has been given careful consideration for some time, and a couple months ago J. H. Richards while in New York, was authorized to confer with Mr. Gould and pave the way for negotia- tions that might secure the impor- tant advantage which it is believed will accrue from a Missouri Pacific connection in this city. “After more or less correspon- dence a telegram was received by Mr. Richards about one week ago, notifying him that the matter would be finally considered and disposed of when Mr. Gould reached St. Louis on his western tour. In ac- cordance with the plans of the gente- men who have taken such interest in the future of Fort Scott 2 committee consisting of Messrs J. H. Richards, C. F. Drake, A. W. Walburn, Colo- nel A A. Harris and C. W. Good- lander departed at once for St. Louis to have a final interview with Mr. Gould and recieve from him his ulti- matum, which is as follows: “If the citizens of Fort Seott would procure the right of way and terminal facilities—depot grounds and yards—free of charge to the Mis- souri Pacific Company, Mr. Gould would build theextention of his line east from this city through the coal fields near Rich Hill, Mo., and south through the coal fields of Kansss, and also build up and equip and op- erate a beit line clear around our city and above all make Fort Scott the general headquarters for his con- solidated lines of the southwest and maintain machine shops and offices here. “Upon the return of the commit- tee to Fort Scott, they formulated their seperate ideas which finally re- sulted in the formation of three dis- tinct corporations, known as the Fort Scott Belt Terminal Railway Company, The Ft. Scott & Eastern Company and the FortScott & Southern Railway Company. “The organization of the com- panies was made neccessary by the fact that Mr. Gould’s proposition to the people of Fort Scott provided that the people of Fort Scott should furnish him the right of way through the city with necessary terminal fa cilities. * * * Therefore the city employed sufficient force to re- move the obstructions, and about 11 o'clock a gang of men began the work snd completed it in few hours. As soonas this was accomplished _ the Belt Terminal company took pos- sesaion of the street and laid tracks reaching from the bluff to National avenue and a single track from Na- tional avenue to the river, a distance of at least one half mile. The same condition of affairs existed on the east side of the bluff where the track was laid from the K. N. & D. road to the gully on the east bank of Buck Run a distance of three-quar- ters ofa mile. Material is also on hand for bridging the Marmaton river. “The interests at stake are not personal, they are comman and mu- tual, the end to be attained isthe connection of the Missouri Pacific lines in southern Kansas in this city which will radiate in four directions, and must, of necessity, eventuate in building up and extending the Mis- souri Pacific shops already begun. } Which is to give us at once a direct Missouri Pacific line through the Rich Hill coal region to St. Louis, siying Fort Scott what it has long hoped for—a competing line east.

There were seventy men in the pit at the time and of these only eleven were known to have survived. The pitis complete- ly wrecked and the search for the bodies is attended with great dif- ficulty.

After a consultation Hardy induced his daughter to return home with him, leaving Law- son, and as they were leaving Law- sop, with an open knife, assaulted Hardy, inflicting about his head and shoulders twelve wounds, some of which are considered very dangerous After finding that he could not re- treat from Lawson, Hardy opened his knife and succeed in inflicting five dangerous wounds upon Law- son’s body.

Kimball died this afternon. | Mr. Kimball became suddenly iila week ago yesterday in court. He had a fit of vomiting and after being taken to his home he was taken with a congestive chill. He rallied from this attack, however, and resumed his duties, but became suddenly ill in the same manner twice since then, the third time being yesterday, from which attack he failed to rally. The United States ‘court adjourn- lea immediately upon the announce- ment of Mr. Kimball's death.§ Elbert Erwin Kimball was born in Saeuben county, New York, Octo- ber 6, 1843. He served with dis- tinction in the civil war and was mustered out at its close with the rank of colonel. At the close of the war he settled in Nevada, Vernon county, Mo. He practiced law there and made Nevada his home until shortly before his appointment to the office which he lately held. He was one of the most prominent law- yers in the western district of Mis- souri. In 1886 he made the race for congress in the district in which Vernon county is located but was defeated. He was the republican nomizee. Iu 1888 he was command- er of the Missouri department of the G. A. R. At Sedalia May 16, 1888, he was nominated by the republican state convention for governor. He made a brilliant race, but his elee- tion was never looked for. However he was defeated by the smallest ma- jjovity of any republican candidate for gubernatorial honors in this state for along time. About four months |ago he was appointed by President | Harrison to the of United Utates attorney for the western dis- ofiice H |trict of Missouri. | Mr. Kimball's home was at 1327 Mrs. Kimball ard ren, the eldest ason of 10 C.

He wil! speak at the Piedmont | Exposition on Wednesday, anda grand military review and sham bat- tle has been arranged for that day. A feature of the battle will be the review of it from an adjacent hill by Gen. John B. Gordon, now governor of Georgia, with his old staft, the veterans who served with him in the late war; Gen. James Longstreet, with his old starff; General Joseph E. Johnston, with his old staff. It proposed for them to appear in the old gray uniforms which they wore in the last campaign. A regiment of Confederate veterans in their old ragged gray uniforms will charge in the battle. Laurence Hutton will add to the November number of Harper's Magazine another of his valuable chapters of American dramatic his- tory. This time he tells—‘“So please you something touching the Lord Hamlet.” He reviews, “A Century of Hamlet,” from November 26, 1761 when the tragedy was presented for the first time in New York, and the younger Lewis Hallam took the tit- ular role, to November 26, 1861, when Edwin Booth played the same role at the Winter Garden on Broad- way.
