NEW PROJECTS
Railroad Extentions to the
Pacific Coast.!
IDIIIIGTOI'S SOLO MOVE
Desire of all Transcontinental
Roads to Take on Philippine
Business.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Dec. 22 —The Chronicle says:
There are strong indications that tbe Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy and the
< 'hicago. Rock Island and Pacific roads are
figuring on extending their lines to the
Pacific coast.
The absorption of the Hawaiian and
Philippine islands by this cowrit is ex
•pected by the owners of will
*W up an immense trans-continental rail
■ftusim s both east and west bound. The
recent deal by which the Santa Fe will
’have its own line into San Francisco in
the Spring has awakened the officers of the
competing semi-trans-continental reads.
An officer of one of the western roads
who has just come from the coast and who
takes a keen interest In railroad affairs
•out there says: v
“I would not be surprised to wake up
some morning and find the trans-conti
nental .situation further complicated by
Ihe announcement that the 'Burlington
was to be extended to the Pacific ocean.
I he Burlington is a good deal nearer the
coast that most people imagine and I un
derstand that this road has been survey
ing through Idaho all summer—one line
•through Nez Perces pass and another
through Lola Pass. I understand ak-o that
•two or three Indian lines that are now be
ing built in Western Idaho ami North
eastern Oregon are intended eventually to
iorm part of the proposed western exten
sion of the Burlington.
“An other point of interest in this con
nection is the fact that the Burlington is !
•'< large holder of valuable terminal ami '
dork properties at Bray's harbor, which ;
would He ot great value to the company j
were it to enter the Oriental trade. Such I
an i xtinsion would also for a sort of short
route from Tacoma to New Orleans.”
Denver, Colorado, is now the’ western
'terminus of the Rock Island and Billings.
'Mont., is the end of the Burlington’s
tracks. It has been reported that the
■former company would soon purchase the
' ’olorido Midland, which would place its
erminuts 400 miles farther west. Billings,
Mont., the end of the Burlington, is 1,020
miles from Tacoma, or a little farther
dhan Oregon is from San Francisco. While
President Purdy, of the Rock Island denies
■ihe report that his company is figuring on.
ipsorbing the Midland, nothing definite
can be learned regarding the Burlington’s
intentions,

PET STRAHAN ’
IN TEARS
She Offers to Plead Guilty ‘
If She is Not Sentenced
—Recorder Refuses.
New York.'Dec. 22. —For the first time
since her arrest. 'Mrs. Fayne Strahan
i.Moore—she of the large blue eyes and I
smiling fare —broke down in public this
afternoon and wept as though her heart
would break.
Site had passed .through the most trying
ordeal to which .she could .have 'been sub
jerk'd during her husband's first trial, in
list ring to the scathing words of Assistant
District Attorney Mclntyre and the dam
aging te-timoney of 'Martin Mahon. The
greatest depths to which a woman of re
finement might descend had 'been attribu
ted to her by the man who accused .her
and her husband of “badgering” him.
Through it all she maintained the de
meanor of an injured innocent, her lip
curling in scorn when she whispered a de
nunciation to the prison attendant, who
cat at her side. After the noon recess.
Mrs. Mc.ore had taken her seat beside her
counsel. Benjamin H. Hill and Abraham 1
Levy when she leaned over and consulted ,
•a moment with them. The three, accom- i
•panied by Assistant District Attorney Me- !
'lndy re, then walked across rhe bar in- ;
closure to the clerk’s private room, at the
southwest corner of the room. Mrs. Moore
walked with the usual spring in her light
steps and a smile upon her face. After a
few minutes’ consultation in the clerk’s
room, the party returned. When she
reached her seat Mrs. 'Moore burst into
tears and wept hysterically for several
minutes.
Mr. Hill stated yesterday that Mrs. Stra- !
han. Mrs. Moore's mother tn Atlanta, had
told him when he left that she expected ;
Fayne at their Atlanta home by Christmas. !
It was supposed that the conference in
the clerk’s room related to the arrange
ment for a plea of guilty and a suspension
of sentence, and tha-t Air. Mclntyre, for the
district attorney's office, refused to enter
into the arrangement.
As Mrs. 'Moore sat weeping, a reporter
wrote this note and sent it t Mr. Levy:
“What is the cause of Mrs. Moore’s weep
ing? Is the report true that pressure was
’brought to bear to have her plead guilty
on condition that the sentence would be
suspended? Mr. Levy returned this reply:
“We cannot answer.”
Jacob H. Studer, fifty-six years old, a
publisher, who said he was a widower with
two grown daughters, was selected as the
tenth juror in quick order.
Benjamin J. Bachman, the next tales
man, was peremptorily challenged, and
the eleventh juror was chosen at 1:15. He
was professor Charles L. Clark, a music
teacher, forty-six years old. married and
having no children.
The jury was completed at 1:30 by the
I
' selection of James Hamilton Frazier, forty
. seven years old, married ani having nc
! children.
The roil of the jurors in the case was
then called, and the court took a recess af
ter the usual admonition to the jurymen.
In selecting the jury the prosecution ex
k 1 eroded twelve peremptory challenges and
; the defease used fifteen. Each side was
entitled to twenty.
The jury is thought by those in the court
who have seen many juries, to be one ol
the best ever obtained in any case in the
court of general sessions.
The court announced that m view of the
approach of the holidays night sessions
would be held until the close of the case.
A recess would be taken, the recorder said,
from 6 until 7 o’clock every evening.
“Then Mr. Hill will tell you.” said Mr.
Levy, ‘‘that in Georgia, courts meet at 8
o’clock in the morning.”
“Perhaps,” said the recorder, “but in
Georgia they do not stay so late at night
as we do here.”
After recess Mr. Mclntyre opened for the
prosecution. He told all about Martin Ma
hon’s character and history, and referred
to ’Mahon’s ignorance.
It was announced at this part of the
proceedings that at the recess Fayne Moore
offered <to plead guilty under certain cir
cumstances. She asked the recorder,
through Mr. Hill, if she could plead guilty,
and if u>pon that plea he would suspend
sentence. The recorder would make no
promise. The woman could plead if she
pleased and take the chances. She did not
care to do this and the recorder then or
dered the prosecution to proceed.
Mr. Mclntyre told of the woman’s his
tory, as he hail told it twice before. He
spoke of her relations with .Mahon, with
the alleged Fount Baton! and the Mexican,
Ellis. Mr. Mcln-tyre said she bad allowed
herself to become the Joole of William A.
E. 'Moore, a man who would stop at noth
ing to accomplish his end.
“The law does not seek vengeance nor
to wreak vengeance upon this unfortunate
defendant.” Mr. ’Mclntyre declared. “Its
only desire i<s to protect society and to de
ter other families from doing what this
I defendant saw fit to do on November 4th.
Doubtless every one of you regret the po
sition this young woman occupies. As
men. we must feel sorry for her. but we
must also remember that the 'position she
fin'ds herself in is the result*, of her own
willful acts.” •
After Mclntyre finished making his ad
dress. Martin Mahon was called to the
stand. He tcst'fie 1 .that he bad met Mrs.
Moore seme three years ago. and told As
sistant District Attorney Mclntyre sub
stantially the came story that he told on
the stand twice before. When Abraham
Levy took him up for examination he sard
that he had never made Mrs. Moore pres
ents nor given her money or ipaid her
board at the house kept by Fannie John
son. 363 West Fiifty-ninth street. Levy ask
ed Mahon point blank if he had illegal as
sociation's With Mis. Moore while she re
sided at Airs. Johnson’s. “Isn’t it a fact.
Martin Mahon.” said Levy, pointing his
finger at the witness, and speaking in slow
and determined tones, “isn’t ft a fact that
you ruined this little girl in that house?”
“No.” replied Mahon. But Levy 'kept press
ing the question, urged by Ben Hili’ and
his other associate. George Simpson. He
kept pegging away at the uneasy hotel
'keeper,- and finally asked him again in a
slow and decided manner:
“Martin Mahon. I want to ask you once
more, on your honor, if you did not seduce
this defendant in Mrs. Johnson’s house?”
Mahon replied: “I decline to answer that
because tit would degrade, me.”
Mahon then went on to tell of his rela
tion with Mrs. Moore, who leaned her head
toward her counsel. Mr. Hill, and whisper
ed to him.
Mahon watched her narrowly from his
elevated position, and as she straightened
up he pointed his finger at her. striking a
theatrical attitude. “Am I lying?” he
shouted to the woman. “No, I am not ly
ing.”
The incident produced a profound sen
sation among the lawyers and the specta
tors. and IMr. Mclntyre cautioned the wit
ness not to resort to any such action in the
future. i

Catarrh Leads
to Consumption.
t A Forerunner of the Most
V
Fatal Disease,
e
3 .
Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost, unbearable,
s few people are aware of the danger
j of which Catarrh is the forerun-
L ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
» Consumption. Growing worse and
- worse each winter, those who relv
*
upon# he usual treatment of
? sprays, washes and inhaling mix-!
' tures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local I
' applications which only reach the 1
i surface. The offensive discharge!
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
Ihe importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

"I had 3'jcli a iptfere css? of Catarrh '
that I lost my hearing in one ear. and
part nf the bone in my nos? sloughed
off. I was constantly treated with
sprays and washes, but each winter
thA disease seemed to have a firmer
hold on me. I had finally been de
clared incurable when I decided to
try S. S. S. It seemed to get right at
the seat of the disease, and cured me
permanently, for I have had no touch
; of Catarrh for seven years.
“Mrs. Josrphimb Polhill,
“Due West, S. C.”
Those who have had the first
lief and found only disappoint
ment in local treatment will find
it wise to waste no further time
on sprays-, washes, inhaling mix- *
tures, etc., which are only tempo
rary and can not save them from
Consumption. Catarrh is a deep
seated blood disease. S. S.. S. ia
the only remedy which can reach
the very bottom of the disease
and cure it permanently.
