SUGGESTION FOR A RAILWAY. !David B. James, an Old Miner, Has an Invention for | Easy Communication to the Gold Diggings. | | David B. James, an old miner of this City, has invented a railway system that he 1 thinks could be built into the new gold diggings and be made not only serviceablte | to that country and its people but a money-maker to its projectirs. Mountains and canyons, says Mr. James, need not stay the building of this road. He says he has submitted his plans to eminent englneers and they say that the road is practicable. Itis an elevated single-track affair, the engines and cars being suspended over the | irack in saddle-bag fashion. Mr. Jumas says it conld be built at a cost not to exceed $2500 a mile, even in the rough Alaskan country. It could travel at more than the speed of a stage over any grade, being assisted on the steep inclines by cogwheels, these being thrown out of gear when not required. Mr. James says the rush toward the Arctic circle now in progress will render necessary some system of communication and the transportation at least of freight and his road, he says, is just the thing to meet the conditions, as it could be built quickly and cheaply. The sysiem could b: made available over part of the route from Juneau to the Yukon mines in conjunction with iceboats to be run by steam that would operate in water also as well. By this means communication could be bad with the mines all winter, and perbaps great suffering be averied. Electricity, steam or compressed air can be used for motive power. Its ecomomy of construction is in one line of struts, either grounded or set upon sills in the earth. Tue support- ing struts or posts can be of timber. Fora cheap line, with a top rail of wood of sufficient size to carry the required weight ot train. For greater traffic the stringer rail can be shod wi.h a flav steei rail the balance-wheels having sliding boxes that engage with the side rails that insures the equilibrium of engine and cars are secarely fastened to the frames. The side rails act as a continuous sway brace. i this system | was operated by electricity the trolly poles could b2 done away with. Eighty ver cent of the engine can be carriea upon the driving-wheel. <0G whEEL 4 and Racx BALANCE W RoLLERS s GREWND EVEL. t there are no suppies at Ju- | Yukon ths other evening to select a_place y of the miners at Dyeaare | for a United States military i [0 - 2 ited & post in the oA pl caion Steamers befor | upper Yukon and to report on things supplies bave no money to pay for carrying | genemlly.

Leonard held a mortgage on some wheat stored on the Blumberry farm, and was getting ready (o’ remove it when Hamilton came up, claim- ing to ho!d a prior mor crop. A fight ensued, in which Hamilton knocked Leonard down twice. While prone upon the ground Leonard drew his pistol and fired.

Chicago’s Millionaire Sausage-Maker Is About to Be Arraigned for Wife-Murder. CHICAGO, Trt, Aug. 7.—Adolph L. Luergert, the miilionaire sausage-maker, will be tried esrly next week for the mur- der of his wife, Laetgert’s attorney, W. A. Vincent, vis- ited the State’s attorney in company with the accused man’s son and asked that the case be set for an early date. The situa- tion was discussed for some time, and the State's attorney finaliy consented to enter uvon the trial during the following week, An effort will be made to get a Judyge to take up the case Monday. The State's attorney has spoken to one of the Judges and he has consented to take the case if possible. The name of the Judge is not given from the fact that it may become necessary to ask some other Judge to hear the matter. Plans were made to-day at the Rush Medical College for an experiment thay will prove tnique in the realm of science, On the re-ulis attained may depend the ability of the State to convict Adolph Luetgert, the sausage manufacturer, al- leged to bave murdered his wile. In the presence of a number of citizens, medical experts and experis of the scienufic world, a human body will be subjected to a soln- tion of crude votdsh, previously heated to the boiling point.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 7.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: For the purpose of displaying her wares to the world and of benefiting her com- merce thereby, the German Government has already in course of preparation an exhibit which wiil be made at the Paris Expo ition in 1900 and which is expected to surpass anything of the kind ever at- tempted by any nation. So reports Con- sul-General Frank Mason, stationed at Frankfort, Germany, in his annual report of the trade relations of the German empire, which reached the State Dzpart- ment to-day. “Notwithstanding ail historieal differ~ ences and resentments,’’ he says, ‘‘the econcmic interests of the two countries are after all very closely allied, and it seems to be the imverial policy to con- ciliate France by all lecitimate means. Germany holds the second place in the list of countries in respect to direct trade with France.” B RS ENGLISH CHURCH APPOINTMENIA 1he Epitcopalians Condemn the Crown Meihods of Fationaze. LONDON, ExG., Aug. 7.—The Church Society pubiishes to-day with the signa- tures of 40,000 English and Welsh Epis- copalians sttached,' the petition recently presented to Lord Balisbury condemning the methods under which the patronage of the crown 1s exercised by the Premier in cburch appointments. The petition, which is printed in pamphlet form, seis forth tnat out of thirty-four English bishops twenty are extreme ritualists, that Lord Salisbury has nominated thirty ritualists against three Evangelicals, and that in the crown appointments clergymen with Romanig- ing tendencies are givin adecided pref- erence. Tune petition further declares that this use of church patronage is calculated to seriously affect the Protestantism of the people, and asks for the appointment of aroyal commission to invesiigate and report. SEhegitne IRON ORE IN V=NEZU'LA. Vast Deposits Leased by a Company, Including Searles of the Sugar Trust. FARIBAULT, Mix: ug. 7.—John E. Sear.es, of t. e sugar trust, and a number of other New Ycork men, with James E. Yorke as manager, have leased from the Orinoco Company of this city that com- pany’s vast deposits of iron ore in its con- cessions on the Orinoco River, Venezuela. Tlese concessions sre part of a grant made by the Venezuelan Government to a Minnesota company two years ago, which that company has since been steadily exploring. By the terms of the lease,ihe le-sees are compelled to mine not less than 500,000 tons annualiy, and paya royalty of 1274 cents aton. Active min- ing must begin in July, 1898. The com- pany intends (o mine not less than 3,000,- 00) tons a year after the properties have been opened, which, it estimates, will | take two years, As the only practicable market for this ore is the United States, and at furnaces along tide-water, th.s lease by a strong syndicate is of the ntmost importance io American miners. The wealthy compa- nies taat have been operating mireson the east coast of Cuba fve years nave ad- | vantages equal 1o those possessed by any concern that can be found in Venezuela, | and startcd out with the highest hope of flooding the Eistern ore market, but they have been unable to supply an ageregate of more than 500,000 tons a year in their most prosperous days. The aggregate consumption of iron ore in the United Swates annually is about 16,000,000 tons, all of which is now.mined in this conntry except the tritle imported from Cuba. g e MURDER D AND MUT.LATED.

The first knowledge of the crime was | obtained at noon to-day, when a neighbor | called and found the mutilated bodies and summoned the police. dent the burglars had bzen detecied by Miss Reed, who wasshot down and beaten to death before she could give an alarm. 1t was thought she was pounded with a | bloody mallet found in her brother’s room. | Everything in the room was in disorder, | 1895 drawers were pulled opan and the con- | 4, It was evi- | !lantu strewn over the ficor, carpets had been ripped away from the floor in every pla¢e where there wasa possibility of find- ing money.
