The Mexican National railroad peo-
ple are pushing the widening of the
gauge of the road between here and
Saltillo, bo as to get in there with
their standard gauge trains on the
17th.
Last week your correspondent met
Col. J. N. Galbraith in this city, and
„ he informed me that if nothing un-
usual occurred between now and the
above date that they would get in
there on the 17th.
After they get to Saltillo they will
push the construction of the road on
to the City of Mexico as fast as men
and money can do it.
The above road has been at a stand-
still for some months, but Bince the
first of this month the company has
decided to extend the road from Du-
rango t* Mazatlan on the Pacific.
Mr. JIG. Metcalf, the president of
the road,* has recently gone to New
York Cltjt with a view of raising the
money to build it. The line has been
surveyed from the city of Durango to
Mazatlan. The distance is short, but
as the road goes through a mountain-
ous country, necessitating cutting sev-
eral tunnels through the mountain, the
estimated cost is |17,000,000, United
States curerncy.
The Mexican Central people are
dflftihlng the construction of their road
dttfPom San Pedro to the Paredon sta-
Hion on the Monterey and Mexican
flpMGulf road, and from there to the Rio
^fprande and on to San Antonio, Texas.
RF At present they are considerably ban-
. dicapped for want of labor. The mines
have absorbed the laboring class of
the country.
On the morning of the 9th Mr. E. T.
Jeffery, president of the Denver and
Rio Grande, and party arrived on a
special car over the Mexican Interna-
tional^ railroad, and spent the day
hefe. They pulled out at night and
will visit the principal cities In the re-
public. j.
Work is so advanced on this plant
that as soon a%, the'Mexican National
traveling manager. They spent Sun-
day here and examined the No. 3 smel-
ter, and at night they pulled out for
Torreon, and from there they went to
Aguas Callentes for the purpose of In-
specting it. The above company own
it and smelter No. 3 in this city.
From there they will go to the City
of Mexico. They are on a tour of in-
spection and will visit the principal
mining camps in the republic before
they return to the United States.
As soon as Prof. Emelio Dystard,
the general manager of the Monterey
electric light plant, who returned yes-
terday morning from a three months’
trip to the States, in company with
Governor Pedro Benetez Leal, take a
short rest, he will commence to dou-
ble the capacity of the present plant.
They will furnish motive power to
small manufacturing plants, etc.
The demand for lumber has been
good the past three months. The rail-
roads have been the greatest consum-
ers. They are using large quantities
of this and bridge timber. The local
trade has been very good, as there are
a great many buildings going up in
every part of the city.

Louisville, Ky., November 20.—
Whether noon in Louisville is reck-
oned according to standard time or
solar time is the question involved
in thirteen suite for $19,940 insurance
filed here by the Peaslee-Gaulbert
company and the Louisville Lead and
Color company. Each one of these
suits is against insurance companies
that hold policies on three buildings
of the two companies destroyed by
fire about midday, April I last.
The policies of the thirteen de-
fendant JbompanieB were in force
from April 1, 1901, at noon, to noon
of April 1, 1902. None of the policies
makes it plain whether the word noon
means according to standard or solar
time. The records of the fire depart-
ment show that the flames were dis-
don, by the steady demand for crude a . . ,, ,,, .. .
steel from the United States. Shef-
field manufacturers, while encourag-
ed by this increase of business dur-
ing the year, are now wondering
whether the same material Will not
return to England in the form of
electric mechanism and engines. They
assert, however, that their grip upon
the home market In cutlery and oth-
er minor manufactures of steel can*
the exact moment has never been
definitely settled. Solar tim6 is 17
1-2 minutes slower than standard
time, and if the fire broke out at
11.45 standard time it was then two
and one-half minutes after noon by
solar time, Thus the defendant in-
surance companies claim that the
“noon” in the policies means solar

now sawing 10,000 feet per day of dry
oak trees. These tie«3 have been cut

off them for tanning puriroses, and
that it is slow work sawing them on

Cortelyou's Rise.
The probable appointment of Geo. B.
Gortelyou, secretary to the president,
to the head of the new department of
commerce, should It be created, brings
him in the public gaze more strongly
than ever. Mr. Cortelyou's rise to
what is already practically a cabinet
position has been rapid and unm >
There is a man out in Ottumwa, la.,
a i aiet v-ltizen, retired from active lUo,
who by a very small act turned Cor-
telyou into the path which has led him
steadily up to the present remarkable
career. This man was entering the of-
fice of his brother In New York one
day when he narrowly mlaaed collid-
ing with a young man whose seeming-
ly desperately discouraged state of
mind made him careless of his direc-
tion. When he stepped Into the of-
fice he questioned his brother as to
what he bad done to the young man to
cause him to be so downhearted.
“I did nothing,” was the answer,
“except to tell him i had nothing for
him to do. He applied for work.’’
“What can he do?”
“He ia a stenographer.”
“Send your office boy after him im-
mediately,” which was very quickly
done, and young Cortelyou (for he it
was) stood before the two men. “You
I are a stenographer?” was asked him.
“Yes, sir.”
“How soon can you go to work?”
“This minute.”
“All right. Hurry over to the post-
office department. I Just left there,
and while I was in the office I heard
them say that they were in need of a
stenographer badly. I think you will
! be in time to get the place.”
It is needless to say that Mr. Cor-
telyou hurried. He got the place.
Married In Abbeville,

leans Picayune from Abbeville, Ul,

Charles Perry, of Orange, Texas.

passenger and freight
narrow guage system and
senger and freight slips, one of
which has only recently been com
pleted. All the structures were In
flames. The ferryboat Oakland,
which was In her slip when the fire
broke out, was pulled Into the stream
and anchored out of danger. All the
telegraph and telephone wires lead
Ing from the shore to the scene of the
fire have been burned, and as yet no
direct communication has been h'ad
with the firemen working on the
flamea. The facilities for fighting
such a fire are limited. A number
of cars which were standing In the
depot were on fire. The loss cannot
be estimated but It will be very hea-
vy. A strong northwest wind was
blowing. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
By Associated Press.
San Francisco, November 20.—The
Southern Pacific depot and ferry slip
at the end of the Alameda mole was
totally destroyed by fire this morn-
ing. A iarge number of passenger
coaches also burned, and it Is said
that several lives were lost.
The property loss will reach a half
million.
A THREE WEEKS’ TRANCE.
Girl in New York Lies In a State of
Coma.
By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 20.—Della Mulligan,
who came from Ireland In October and
secured work as a servant here, has
lain In a state of coma at the J- Hood
Wright hospital for the past twenty-
three days. Her erfse is almost as puz-
zling and interesting to the doctors as
that of Nellie Corcoran, who died after
her three weeks’ trance In 8t. Vin-
cent’s hospital. Only twice in the
whole period has the girl spoken, and
then It was to mutter a few words
which showed that she was delirious.
The girl was taken to the hospital
suffering from partial asphyxiation,
due to blowing out the gas. - The
usual means of resuscitation were
used. The only effect was to restore
the patieut’s appetite. Her pulse and
temperature also became normal. The
state of coma has, however, resisted
the doctors’ best efforts, and they
havp given up hope of restoring her
to consciousness.
