A Stan reporter found Mr. B. H. Warner at the Columbia National Bank this morning, busily engaged in disposing of a large pile of letters and looking very brown and rugged from his summer's tour through Europe. Mr. Warner, in reply to a question as to what interested him most, answered substantially as follows: One hardly knows how to give a snecinet de- scription of a two months’ object lesson through the most thickly scttled portiop of Europe. We traveled through France, Ger- many, Belgium, Holland and the British Isles. ‘The old world is the storehouse of history. It is always most interesting to me to go into churches, cathedrals, museums, art galleries, cemeteries and other places which came into existence before Columbus discovered America and our new continent started on its great march of progress; to observe the customs and habits of people who have been the principal acters in the great drama of life for centuries before the United States was known upen the map of tho world. These people were thoughtful and progres- sive m every department of art and science.

In England and the British Isles these com- | panies are supervised by a board of public works, who seem to look carefully into the de- sails of construction with particular reference to solidity, permanence and safety, and while their cars do not present as fine an eppearance and are not as com- fortable as ours their methods are realiy safer, so far as human life is concerned.

The great improvements going on, the de- velopment of mineral resources, the inflax of capital, the building of railroads, the establish- ment of manufactures and the general ad- vancement of valucs so much talked about in southwest Virginia have hardly been exagger- ated. There is perhaps no section in the United States, no larger in area than that por- tion of Virginia lying along and contiguous to the head waters of the Shenandoah, James and New rivers, which flow eastward, and the vari- ous streams which form the Tennessee, flowing westward, the Blue Ridge, Alleghany and Cum- borland mountains, improving more rapidly or substantially, It is a section embracing the widest range of agricultural, horticuitural, mining and manufacturing possibilities, Ex- tending in Intitude from the fertile valleys of the upper Picdmont with its early and almost tropical seasons to the rich, blue grass, min- era-ladened mountatn ranges two to three thousand feet above the level of the sea and abounding in cereals. fruits, tobacco. fine cat- tle and inexhaustible bods of minerals. A PROSPEROUS PEOPLE. It is impossible among so many diversified intcrests worthy of note to scratch offa letter that will do justice to all or any particular one but there is one thing I wish particnlarly to speak of and it will probably do mach towerd explaining why capital is flowing in a stream into this country—aside from the fact that the natural resources of the country attract it, |! Capitalists, no matter how rich a section of |, country may be, or bow attractive, rarely ever invest their means in a community whose peo- |, ple are not self-reliant or not inclined to help themselves, or at least who do not display somo sort of enterprise. ‘The recent consis shows that only two counties in this portion of V. ginia, known as the southwest, have either a bonded or floating debt, though the close of the late war found them, one aud ail, heavily handicapped with one or the other, and many of them had both. The two exceptions are Smyth and Bland countics, and these two are far behind all of the others in the great race of progress and enterprise. The total increase of values by the present census in the siate, it is suid, will be about $20,000,000, As it is known that a number of the largest counties in the eastern part of the state show a decrease—somo as much as half a million dollars and one alone more than $1,000,000—it will readily be seen that the greater portion of the increase is im the southwest. In fact, there is not a county in this section which does not show a large in- crease in real estate values, CAUSES OF PROSPERITY. The progressive spirit of the people out here is the chief cause of this prosperity. Left im- poverished by the war they went to work and worked along patiently until within the past few years, when they attracted the attention of Capital by their perseverance, the results of their limited labors and the natural resources of the country, Completely capturing the con- fidence of investors, it was no difficult tesk to secure the uid of capital, consequently it has flowed and is flowing unceasingly into all parte of this section, and the substantial basis upon which its tenure is establiched piaces the ulti- mate result far beyoud idle or merely specu- lative theories, Every dollar invested here rests upon a solid and, | may say, a commercial foundation, Of course there are instances where the speculative theory has been inda! in too greatly, carried too far, but these are few. Here and there a town has been located, laid out and divided off into the ubiquitous “town lot” upon purely artificial premises, but projector and not the capitalist is the loser by its lullure to materialize. Some practical and tangible course is nearly always the ground- work of a new town or of the rehabilitation of an old borough. These towns spring up out here mostly because of a demand tor such from neighboring coal mines, vast deposits of iron ore, the erection of furnaces or the location of a factory. The prospector is mct upon the threshhold with a gencrous welcome and finds his guest shrewd, enterprising. energetic. all business and buetle, and se 13 uot long in join- ing hands in the great work of development and accumulation of wealth to both state and individual. CHANGE OF BUSINESS METHODS. In a conversation with a gentleman in Wash- ington recently who had visited this part of Virginia some twelve or fifteensyears ago he asserted that the people here were too loose and indifferent in couducting their businces affuirs to ever be anything; tha: merchants would fail because of the credit system; that banks would suspend because obligations were not promptly met; that the reputation of the country would be ruined because the people did not do business on a strictly cash or stringent business principles. He misunderstood the condition of the country and the nécessities of the timex, It was necessary to do a credit es8 as there was but little money in the it was practical assistance to those who had it not vat would eventually get it. ‘The banks, to do any business at all, had to be exceedingly lenient, and with the people it was necessary to run into debt and carry their indebtedness along until accumulation by hard work enabied them to liquidate. I should like for that gentleman to visit southwest Virginia now. A complete revolution has uot taken place, but the younger men, who ure leading the vanguard of progress, have adopted new methods, while the old ways are dropping out with the extinguishment of the conditious which necessitated them. He wouid tind a gratifying change from what could not be obviated to « state of affairs commen ied to other portions of the south, ‘though, as a matter of fact, [am told the old order of things are changing throughout the entire south in the manner of conducting business and commercial affairs, THE TOWN OF ANINGDON. Abingdon is a place of three or four thousand inhabitants and is a center of trade for a large portion of this part of southwest Virginia and neighboring portions of Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. It is the place where the United States court for the western district of Virginia is held, and the government building for this purpose and for the post oftice is one of the pretticst and most substantial in the state, having been just compicted, with ail modern conveniences, at @ cost of about $80,000. A Washington man was the contractor. Like Charlottesville, Staunton and Lexington it is noted for its schools and colleges, and has, I believe, the only Catholic convent outside of the cities in Virginia. In addition tc the Nor- folk and W tn auother railroad is being constructed from this place to Damascus, which is one of the most picturesque pluces in the state and in the very ceuter of vast tields of the finest hematite iron ore deposits in the south. Shady valley in ‘Tennessee, noted for its lux- urious growth of cranberries and deposits of superior Bessemer steelmaking iron is but a few miles away. ‘The town has a good system of water works and « number one electric plant and excellent pavements. There is not here just now tho manitestatious of enterprise and improvement that characterized the spring and early sum- mer, but the feeling of confidence is strong as ever and a renewal of business operations is ouly « question of a little time. All the new towns as well as the old ones like this,undergo- ing a revivifying process, have felt the effects of midsummer dulluess, Nevertheless the country is full of capitalists looking for invest- ae and Abingdon will doubtless get its share. $ THE FRUIT CROP. This is a splendid fruit growing country. but the crop generally is # failure this year. With the exception of grapes, apples are doing bet- ter than any other. Very fine apples are sell- ing on the streets of Abingdon at 50 cents a bushel and I saw some pippins sell for @1 a bushel that would easily bring 10 cents each in Washington. Most delicious grapes are, or rather were, selling in season at 5 cents a pound. I visited farm of Dr. A. K. Wright near this place, who has a fine crop of grapes and saw growing from one root a vine six inches in diameter near the ground and run- over aine hundred seet of vines, each heavily ladened, carrying combined sixty bushels of fruit. A good many are turning their attention to grape cul- a — see numerous Isabel and Madeira, the dh ata ee pice @ most delicious flavor and tly large, beautiful bunches, F. H. i ee cask Confessions of Men Arrested for Trying * to Wreck Trains Near Albany. What purports to be the confession of three of the five men implicated in the recent at- tempts attrain wrecking on the New York Cen- tral alleged to have furnished the wreckers with money with which to leave the country after they had wrecked the Montreal express. The most circumstantial statement made by the con- spirators who have confeseed is that of Thomas L, Cain, who confesses to a guilty knowledge of three of the attempts to wreck trains. He minutely details his experience on the night of August 29, when obstructions were placed on the track between West Albany and Karner. After they had teken a number of drinks they went out to the railway tracks. Cain continues: CAIN'S CONFESSION. “There was a crossing near where we were: and, after the train had passed, he said: ‘Now come-across the crossing; you look upand I will look down and see if there is anybody around.’ He said: ‘Here comes a train; wait here a minute,’ I stayed on the crossing for a second and he said: * “fake this revolver and tho first one that comes up threaten to shoot. Do not leave me, #tand by me whatever you do.’ “I took the revolver and sat down on the edge of the rail and he left mo and walked down tho track for a little ways; he then came back and said: * “What was that noise?’ “T said, ‘1 did not hear anything.’ I stayed thore and he went down the track and after a while called me sayiug: «Come now, let's gct out of here as soon as I noticed that at the place that he called me to therc-were three ties on the track, He then sard fo me: . igre, while I am doing this work you stand Over me with a revolver.’ “He then pulled the ties out from the rail and dug adeeper hole under cach side and Placed one end of a tic under each rail between the ties so that the cther end of the tie ex- tended over the top of the opposite rail. He then put one tie in the center to brace them. I said to him: "My God, going off sure. if anything strikes this sbe ts ver mind what strikes it; the sooner we get it done and get away from here the better fcr ourselver.” “We went down the track after this work was completed. As soon as we had done the work I gave him the revolver, which he had carried in his hand while we were walking along the track. Iennnot say positively what timo it was when the work was completed. As I said before, Thad no watch with me. and by this time I was pretty well under the influence of liquor, but not so much so that I did_not know all that was going on about me. I think it must have b2en hear 1 o'elo THE CASTLETON WRECK. Regarding the wreck at Castieton Cain gives along history of the journey of himself with Cordial and Reed, the other two wreckers. He added: “We then continued up tho track to the cabbage switch. Reed said: ‘Let's fix the down track,’ and he directed me to open the switch lock. I told him I did not think my key would open it, but I took my key out of my pocket and while I was fumbling with the switch lock Reed said: ‘What is the mat- ter?’ and pushed me aside, and as he did so the lock came open. Reed and I both had hold of the switch and threw it about half way. After the switch was open Reed put a fish plate in between the poimts. I had an- other plate in my hand, which I was about to hand to Reed, but he said there were cnough in and to drop it. While We were fixing the switch Arthur Buett stood with my pistol in his hand to protect us, It was about this time when Reed saw the flagman. He proposed to go back and sce who he was. and, if necessary, shoot hims I said ‘No,’ and Buett aud I held ium back. After we had fixed the switch we went along the road up to the crossing, thea through a nut orchard, where we all lay down in a ditch.” CAIN TOLD TO CLEAR OUT. Concerning the conversation which occurred with Master Workman Lee after arrests had been made for the Castleton wreck Cain con- tinues: “Lec said to me, ‘Come and take a walk.’ I walkod uround the corner with him, and Dwyer was behind us. Lee said to me that Reed had given away four names, He said he was going to give me some money to get out with and tha: I must go as soon as possibic. He told me not to stay around Albany and blow in the money on drink, but to keep sober and get out @; soon as possible. I told him I wanted to go home first and he said: “**I must count this money out for you.’ “Dwyer said: ‘Come in my house and do it.’ said: ‘Iam going home, and will meet you here in about ton minutes.’ We did not go in the house, but stood by the stoop talking. “Lee said: ‘Wherever you go, go aloue, and @o not bung around Aibauy and blow ‘your monoy in, When you getaway ict us know how yon get along.’ He said: ‘Here is £30; take it,’ “He then took my handin both of his and bid me good-bye. He said if I wanted any- thing tosend word and he would send me any- thing I wanted. He said: “You, Kiernan, Cordial and Buett are all to go.’ ‘ney then went to Canada and were after- ward arrested at Prescott, opposite Ogdensburg. in New York state. ‘he story told by Arthur Buctt is.equally circumstantial and corrobor- ates all that wastold by Cain, Regarding tho interview with Lee when the wreckers were suspected znd the police were on their track, Buett also corroborates Cain's statement. SENSATION AT ALBANY. The sensation produced at Albany by the confeseions of Cain, Buett and Reed is in- describable. It was known yesterday that the men had confessed, and that their stories were in the hands of the police, but the explicit detailing of their designed and calculated vil- lainy and the implication of Master Workman Lee, the leading spirit of the strike, who has hitherto repudiated any possible knowledge of the perpetrators of the crimes and has even offered a reward for their discovery, over- whelms the whole local organization of the Knights of Labor in a torrent of public indig- nation, WHAT SAVED THE TRAIN. The first attempt by the gang to wreck trains was made on the night of August 29, at a point near Karner’s station, a fow miles from Albany. A barricade of ties wedged between the rails came within an ace of sending the Chicago limited down a steep embankment and killing scores of people. ‘The night was so rainy an dark that the wree! could not sec the mate- rial they were using to build the blockade, It happened that they selected a rotten tie for an important spot in the structure, and when the locomotive strack the obstruction this rotten tie was knocked to pieces and the barricade gave way without derailing the train, Experts who made an examination next day say that had-the tie been sound a great disaster would havesurely taken place, ‘WRECK OF THE MONTREAL EXPRESS, On the night of September 4 the Montreal express north bound was ditched near Castle- ton, and several passengers were badly hurt. A piece of rail had been wedged between two ties in such a way that the end — upward atan re aie of about 45 degrees in the direction a little oblique from that which the train was Boing. The efiect was thut the engine slid up on the inclined rail, lifting the wheels from the track and dropping them to one side of it. Then the derailed train plunged down into the marsh and was piled ina beap. Half a mile farther north, on the down track, the same night, a switch was half turned and wedged into that position. It was almost by a miracle that the relief train coming down from Albany an hour en was not derailed there. ‘War Against the Swallow-Talls. From the Table. a te OFM D FANCY 7 A IDAY MORNINGS. SEP.
