COLONEL AYERY TELLS ABOUT IT
Arthur E<l ard Stillwell I* D>lns a G'rat
Deni or Work In the I’pb tiding of
Southern Trv*e.
Kansas City, Mo , December 18.— :
We, who and have pushed to
success the propagandists of general,
* Southern direct trade builded bigger
than we knew.
The Nineteenth new .scheme among
its fruits is a huge Western enterprise
with a seven hundred and sixty-seven- 1
mile riilroad nearly done, costing $16,-
000,00 b, ouC end Kansas City, the center
of the provision region of the West, the
other end Port Arthur, Tex., which
state raises one-third of the cotton crop, .
and the road goes through rick lands 1
with coal beds, zinc, let d and iron I
mines, large fruit orchards and areas of
cotton, grain and grazing soils, to fur
nish local traffic.
The road passes through rich states.
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Indian
jt'erritery, Louisiana and Texas pay lo-
P- cal tribute.,
Kansas City, the collecting and dis
tributing point of the West in this road,
i “ her own, has a shorter rail haul to sea
■ ♦ .water for exports, saving 566 miles over
F the ra»l h.-.ul to New York and 419
miles ov<r that to Savannah. 114 miles
over the Galveston route and 107 over
the New Orleans, and is also nearer to
Galveston and New Orhans than by
any other route.
Port Arthur is twelve miles from the
gulf, on Sabinebay, with a harbor depth
of over twenty-four feet for the largest
ships, and is the finest harbor on the
Texas coast.
Thus, with this imperial road in her
own grasp, the shortest by hundreds of
miles to water, Kansas City has the key
to exyort traffic, and that the South has
had this costly direct road clincher put
into direct force by tne West is the
crowning victory for our Southern in
ternational trade movement.
The originator am) master spirit in
this new and great railway project for
Southern and Western good has been
Mr. Arthur Edward Stillwell.
This remarkable gentleman is only
thirty-seven years old, but he has ac
complished much in his short life, and a
few facts of his cireer will interest your
, readers. He is a New York son. His
family has been two hundred years
here and gave heroes to the revolution.
He inherited his genius for great things
from his grandfather, Hamlin Stillwell,
who was a founder of the gigantic
. Western Union telegraph system, the
big New York Central railway, lines of
jacket ships, strong banks, gas plants
and other big matters.
Mr. Stillwell went to the top in life
I insurance inventing a popular annuity
A policy, and in 1887 came to Kansas City
' Ao use his hereditary bent for puplic
i development of the West. He organ-
I ized the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
h Trust Company, of Kansas City, Phila
, delphia, Amsterdam and Loudon, with
* $300,000 capital, which he has built up
since then to $1,350,000 capital and sl,-
350,000 surplus, and then took hold of a
■ belt railroad and originated and put
through this phenomenal Port Arthur
. route, called the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf railroad, himself, raising the
$16,000,000 of monev. $6,500.00 in this
country and $9,500,000 in Europe, and
he has carried through his vast enter
prise in the depression of 1893-96 with
out a bobble, when so many enterprises
have dropped.
But there is a strong religious, philan
thropical side to the man. He and his
beautiful wife were both in bad health
l and medicine could not cure. Christian
science, the new religion, restored them
to perfect health. He has devoted his
powerful iufluezee and zeal to spreading
• Christian Science, has seen a large
church in life in Kansas City, a third of
it business men. and he declares that
r “Science and Health,’’ of Mrs. Eddy is
F the promised comforter.
His Christian philanthropy has taken
■ practical shape. He has organized for
B years and supported a “Bethany school”
■ in the slums for the poor, buildings a
F fine brick structure with every conven

f’ Returning to the Port Arthur route:
k xt will be finished in April and a regu-
K-' Jar line of foreign steamers started im
g mediately. At Shreveport it connects
■ directly with New Orleans, and at
I Beaumount with Galveston, forming
P the shortest route to both places from i
Kansas City, and while going direct to !
Port Arthur, giving the merchant
choice of Port Arthur. New Orleans or

olution this route, as a Southern direct

--' t-vu capital and in Western interest, will
create m our foreign i usine.s.
The outcome cannot be. calculated
’ Already this year the bulk of ' Western
grain has left the Eastern chamiels and
sought Southern outlets, and the East
ern ports are dismayed over the loss and
seeking to stem the trend Southward
’ abroad, but it is inevitable. That extra
costly rail haul to New York over Port
I Arthur is a giant barrier. Yet there is
: enough for all. These traffic changes
' and trade transmutations have been go
, ing on from the beginning of time. And
the South is simply ooming t < her own
by the laws of trade.
| Mr. Stillwell is doing all he can to
, strengthen the matter. He is having
Mr. Edwards, of Tne Baltimore Mann-
1 facturers’ Record, to prepare a special
edition devoted to Kansas City and the
gulf rou’e for distribution everywhere,
and Mr Thomas P. Grasty i« ably hand
Ung it. Mr. Stillwell will distribute
i 10,000 over the South and abroad, in
creasing Western relations with the
South.
Kansas City’s long nsed traffic by
the Kansas City, Memphis and Birm
ingham railroad with Savannah will
| grow by the new regular Johnson line
.of steamers put on by Mr. Comer
while the new lines at Brunswick and
Charleston, put on by Mr Spencer’s
agency and the line running at Port
Roya' can and will be used by Kansas
City.
But these South Atlantic lines will
steadily draw business for foreign mark
ets from Memphis. Nashville, St. Louis
and others points
As a result of the direct trade move
ment of five years ago we see two new
lines at Baltimore, one at Newport
News, one at Norfolk, one at Charles
ton, one at Port Royal, two at Savannah,
two at Brunswick, one at Key West,
two at Pensacola, two at Mobile, two at
New Orleans, two at Galveston and the
one to be at Port Arthur twenty al
lege her at thirteen Southern ports.
And the trend from all the territory by
nature tributary to the South is in this
direction, as it should be.
We should feel good over this good
and long worked-for result, and in the
great revolution see national progress.

THE ROME TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1896.
THE GENIUS OF SLEEPY EYE.
A Operator Invent 4 rn Eng’ne
Which Makes Him a Millionaire.
There is a new telegraph operator at
Sleepy Eye, Minn. The reason for this
is that Grunt Brambel, who held that
position until recently, has invented a
steam engine which lie has sold to an
English syndicate for $1,600,000. Nat
urally Mr, Brambel can afford to give
up the modest salary which he previous
ly received for serving as a connecting
link, in conjunction with the telegraph
instrument and wires, between Sleepy
Eye and the rest of the world.
Mr. Brambel is an Englishman, about
40 years of age, and a rolling stone, hav
ing visited nearly every quarter of the
globe. Four years ago he settled in
Sleepy Eye as station agent and tele
graph operator for the Chicago and
Northwestern railway. The position
gave him a good deal of leisure, which
he employed in vVorking out the details
of his invention. A rotary engine con
structed on tho plan of a turbine wheel
was the plan which he was trying to
perfect, and that is what he has accom
plished.
“I couldn’t see why steam could not
be made to do what water did,” he says,
“especially when steam had qualities
that water Jacked and that were essen
tial. I knew it was necessary to get the
as?
GRANT BRAMBEL.
greatest possible development Df steam
expansion to give success to my idea,
and I have been working along that line
for 13 years. I believe it will be hard
to get anything simpler, more powerful
or better in its way than I have. ”
The new Brambel engine is certainly
a wonderful contrivadle. It is compact,
light and simple of construction, and
one which has developed 40 horsepower
is small enough to be carried around in
the hand, weighing less than 50 pounds.
The largest engine of this sort which
has yet been made is one which is being
used to run dynamos in Trenton. It oc
cupies a floor space of only 6 by 18
inches, stands less than 2 feet high and
weighs 300 pounds, yet it furnishes 120
horsepower. Mr. Brambel has another
invention “up his sleeve.” It is a dy
namo which he says is as much superior
to those now in use as his improved en
gine is to the ordinary piston affair.
