2 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, > A FRIGHTFUL BLUNDER.

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 A TEXAS WONDER.

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.
