THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, 'IINDAY, FEBRUARY 7, ' 1892. "
terprise in history. Think of 17 great na
tions made up of different peoples and own
ing the best part of a great hemisphere
peacefully combining together to build a
line of railroad which shall carry their peo
ple and their products from one country to
another. The representatives of these peo
ple meet together and decide that they will
donate a strip of land to' such a railroad
which shall for all time, remain neutral
ground.
They agree that the railroad -when built
shall never be taxed and they put their
hands right down into their pockets and
pull out the money to be used in laying out
the line. They agree that each shall pay a
fixed proportion of the whole according to
Its population, and each of the 17 nations
agrees to give 51 for every thousand
people it has, towards making the survey.
They appoint commissioners to take charge
of the work and they select three of the
biggest, and most practical of the million
aires of the "United States for this purpose.
Three Railroad Xagnatn Managers.
The head of these is A. J. Cassatt, who
started life in the Pennsylvania Railroad
car shops, who has been Vice president of
the Pennsylvania Kailway Company, and
who, dealing with railroads all his life, is
cow in his prime, a number of times a
millionaire. Another of the Commissioners
Js ex-Senator Henry G. Davis, who worked
on the railroad as a boy, ana who now is an
o-nner of railrcada and a builder of new
lines. The third millionaire is Mr. Kerens,
a practical business man of St. Louis, and
the trio forms one of the strongest combina
tions of practical brains in this country.
The executive officer of the commission,
Lieutenant E. SI. G. Brown, is the son-in-law
of Henry G. Davis, and one of the ablest
officers of our navy. It was he who saved
the Trenton during the terrible storm at
Samoa by making a human sail of the men
which the Inter-continental Line is being
surveyed, are rich in resources though very
Iioor in railroads. Chile and Peru have the
ongest lines, Peru having 1,625 miles and
Chile 1,700, of which C70 miles belong to
the State. Ecuador, where the two South
American parties hare done the most of
their surveying, has only 50 miles of rail
wav. Brazil has 5,000, and something like
3.000 miles under construction, and Colom
bia, where the Shunk party is now, though
it is one of the richest countries in the
world, has only 218 miles of railroads.
A Rich Country's Primitive Ways.
The country has no means of communica
tion whatever with the exception of its
rivers and its mule paths. Still it is one of
the richest countries of South America, and
it is nearly ten times as big as the State of
New York. It has a population a little less
than that of if ew York State, and its capi
tal, Bogota, toward which Mr. Shunk is

the volcano La Galera to tho westward was
cloudless except the toweling white clou,
from l(s crater. The air was perfectly calm
tlie Bun rose brignt and we had every out
ward token of a good day. As tho sun
ascended the whole atmosphere mystified
a universal, half transparent saturation
cimo up that after a while bulked Into
clouds hiding the mountain tops,tmt leaving
the lower eai th In sight. With clouds over
head the n eather as cold, overcoats were
comlortahle and tho camp fire was a genial
neighbor. Sow and then between
the clouds, the equatorial sun wilt
ing hot, shone out. It does
not heat tlio air. Tho ground Is its beach.
It traverses spaces like a sea-swell unbroken
and it splashes into calorific surf which I
cannot cet tify to be more than six feet deep,
but which is a withering, smothering gush
orheat. Then clouds come again and cold
weather again, one instantaneously follow
ing the other. In tho atternoon we. had
chilling showers until nbout S or o'clock,

Dcscitof Eahaia, though suffocatingly hot
by day Is cold at night owing to tho free and
quick radiation into a drv sky. Changes of
temperature equally great occur heie
hourly sometimes and without any gradu
ated intervals.
Mr. Shunk's scientific descriptions of the
Andes are lull of interest and his report
concerning these lands, which he calls the
paradise of both artist and scientist, will he
of great value. He is now in the wilds of
Colombia and in some of the most uncivil
ized portions of this remarkable country.
The Central American tine.
The Central American party is composed
entirely of naval officers and is working its
way through Guatemala. One of the lines
laid out runs through the richest coffee belt
of Guatemala. The country is practically
undeveloped though it has gold and silver,
coal and iron and the finest kinds of timber.
Any one of these three lines will, the
officers say, pay through the local traffic
and the natural resources of the country.
and the roads can be built without great
trouble. From Guatemala this party will
push its way down into Honduras,and this
land is said to be the richest of all the
American Republics in its mineral wealth.
The road will open up a mineral country
which is now to a large extent in
accessible. In Salvador there are also
mines of gold and silver, and gold is
also found further south in Costa Rica.
This Central American branch of the Inter
continental Railroad will in fact open up
A STRANGE MOVE
HASE TIX THE COUNSEL FOB THIS
SLATEB OF FREDA WAKD.
lunacy Proceedings Prior to the Trial
More Sensational Testimony Unearthed
Alice ailtchell Bays She "Wants to
Die.
Memphis, Feb. 6. Special. The" at
torneys of Alice Mitchell, the slayer of
-Freda 'Ward.yesterday filed their formal plea
of insanity in the Criminal Court for their
client, and made application for a de
lunatico inquirendo, .which was granted.
Able lawyers think the counsel have made
a mistake in asking for a lunacy examina
tion in advance of a trial. They must prove
that the defendant was insane to the extent
of not being able to tell right from wrong
beyond the shadow of a doubt. If they fail
they will be debarred from pleading in
sanity on the regular trial. ,
Some alleged evidence was unearthed to
day that if proven will'show that Lillie
Johnson had knowledge of Alice Mitchell's
murderous design. A girl has been found
who claims to have overheard a conversa
tion between them prior to tbp murder, in
which the killing of Freda "Ward was dis
cussed. When Lillie was arrested her law
yer announced his intention of atonccsuing
out a writ of habeas corpus, claiming that
there was not enough evidence to hold her
without bail. He abandoned this idea, and
now says that he will await the trial. That
he and the girl's family should be content
to have her lie in jail "for weeks, perhaps
months, waiting trial, is taken to mean that
the defense is aware that the S,tate has a
stronger case than appears on the surface.
The fact, too, that Lillie continues to oc
cupy the same room with the murderesi is
urged against her, the argument being that
if Lillie is innocent and thinks the other
either a sane or insane murderess, sne would
be atraid to remain with her alone day and
night. A long list of prominent pliysicians
are named as witnesses in the pending
lunacy proceedings, which has revived in
terest in the case.
Alice says that she wants to die, and ex
pressed herself as greatly disappointed when
told that the plea of present Insanity might
save her life.

John Mackay in making the Commercial
Cable Company a success and who has also
been engaged with Mr. Mackay in his rail
road enterprises.
The Work In Good Bands.
The engineers selected by such men were,
of course, the verv best in the country.
William F. Shunk, the head of the South
American party, built the Pennsylvania
Railroad across the Alleghenies, and J.
linbrie Miller, the chief of the second South
American party, is known everywhere in
the United States. The Central American
ngineers are" picked men from the United
States navy, and there is not a man con
nected with any of the parties who is not a
specialist in his line and a hard, earnest,
practical worker.
The line when completed will give a con
tinuous railroad journey from any city in
the United States to almost any point of
prominence in South America, and the idea
1 that the Trunk Line will run from Mexico
City to the northern terminus of the Argen
tine railroad system, or a distance of more
than 5,000 miles. When it is completed,
one will be able to take a continuous rail
road journev ' from Hew York to Buenos
Avre, a distance of, in round numbers.
something like 10,000 miles, and the road
will be one of the most wonderful in the
world. The general elevation will be from
a mile to a mile and a half above the sea,
aid at some points it will be one of the
' highest railroads in the world.
To Open Cp All South Amerira.
Of the 4,900 miles from the southern ter
minus of the Mexican system to the north
ern terminus of the Argentine railways,
only 230 miles of the road are already con
structed, but private lines which can be
used in the. system are under construction
and surveyed to the extent of 1.800 miles,
leaving less than 2,900 miles to be located
and built From this main line, the idea is
to run branch lines off to Venezuela, and
there will be other branch lines so that the
now moving with his surveying party, is
9,000 leet above the sea. Colombia has some
of the finest mines in South America, and
these will be opened up by this railroad.
Since the Sixteenth Centurv it is estimated
that $625,000,000 worth ofgold has been
taken out of Colombia, and it has vast areas
of fine coffee lands.
The South American line which will run
from the Isthmus of Panama down through
Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and
Chile to the Argentine system runs mainly
on the plateau of the Andes Mountains.
The Andes are during a part of the distance
in three almost parallel ranges with broken
plateaus between them, and it is between
the two Western ranges that-the road is
now being surveyed. The two parties of
civil engineers who started out April 10,
1891, from Xew York sailed first for Pan
ama and then went on to Quito in Ecuador.
From here one party under William F.
Shunk went northward through the country
into Colombia and on toward the Isthmus
of Panama, while the other under J. Imbrie
Miller went southward toward Peru and
Chile.
Effect of the Karlfied Air..
Both parties were radically affected by
the high altitude and by the hardships of
camp me ana j. imDne jsuiler, the neaa ol
the second party, was so afflicted with dys
entery that he had to be carried on a litter
tothe sea coast and was sent back home.
His party is now under the command of
W. D. Kelley, Jr., and it is doing excellent
work. It reports that there are no en
gineering difficulties except high viaducts
over the many deep ravines Tilong the
mountain slopes and it gives the altitudes
at the various points along the lines and
the sizes of the towns. In 247 miles of man
they found 22 towns ranging in size from
8,000 to 80,000 population, and these towns
were at altitudes ranging from 7,600 to 12,
000 feet above the sea. The road will run
up and down from 9,000 to 11,000 feet above
the sea and the character of the country
seems to be such that it would be locally
profitable
The letters of Mr. Miller concerning his
camp and camp life are interesting. At one
place he says it takes 45 mules to move his

an almost unknown country, and in scenery
and picturesque nature it may become one
of the tourists' routes of the world. The
"railroads already in the country amonnt to
practically nothing, but th'e officers report
that the people are very friendly. The re
ports from all the parties show that the
governments of the South American coun
tries are anxious to help along the work in
a practical way.
Some of the photographs whieh were
taken bv the parties give some idea of the
hospitalities they have received, and one
represents a banquet at Loja in Ecuador, at
which one of the table ornaments was a
piece of sculpture in sugar representing the
United States shaking hands with Sonth
America. The two continents were repre

A LARGE SYNDICATE OF CIGAR MANUFACTURERS.
One of the largest industrial syndicates ever organized in this country has just been consummated. The La Criolla Cigar Manufacturing Company, B. B. McConnell, Treasurer, at the present time located In Ocala. haa
combined with other cigar manufacturers from Hey West, Florida, Cuba and New York City, representing over 51,000,000 cash capital, and agreed to erect at once in "West End Ocala, eight cigar factories, as follows:

whole of the vast resources of the South
American Continent will be opened up. At
the rate so far made the engineers can sur
Tey 2,000 miles a year, and the road will be
surveyed in a year and a halt
The building of this railroad and the
making of the survey seems so far to be per
fectly practicable. The road which the
commission has to outline and build is not
as Ions as the distance from New York to
San Trancisco, and the reports of the en
gineers show that the difficulties of con
duction in the Andes can be easily over
come. Already South America, Mexico
and Central America have done much in the
construction of railways.
Tlio Progress In Argentine.
The road Mexico is building southward
from Mexico City toward Guatemala and
which will form a part of the Interconti
nental Eailway will be one of the best
built in the world, and its ties, as well as
Its rails, are made of steel. This road has
already been completed to the city of
Oaxaca, and it is being pushed rapidly on
to Tchauntepec, from whence a line will
"go to Ayutla, in Guatemala, where the In
tercontinental Kailway survey will begin.
The Argentine Kcpub'lic, at Che other ter
minus of the Intercontinental Eailway,
though in bad financial straits at present,
has a system of fine railroads, and these
are, it is said, paying welL In addition to
these lines there are nearly 5,000 miles of
road under construction, and this great
country, which is almost one-third ai big as
the United States, 3nd which has the richest
of lauds and resources, will be tapped by
camp, and he states that he has 17 men who
are carrying extra provisions for use in
Peru. The country of Ecuador has shown
itself very friendly to the surveyors, but
the people among whom this second party
now is are uncivilized Indians and the coun
try is lean and stingy, and the people will
neither give nor sell. It is for this reason
that they have had to carry extra provisions.
A Stretch or Expensive Koad.
The camps are far away from the mails or
telegraphs, and the party will have to go 100
miles or so to cash a draft. It is reported
that the country in which they are now is
going to be a very expensive one for the
construction of a railway. The road will be
10,000 or 12,000 feet above the sea, between
ranges of high mountains and over crjss
mountains, forming what is called a knot of
tne Andes.
The party under Mr. Shunk has been
moving northward irom Quito through the
Andes, and on the 10th of last December it
had surveyed 300 miles, and though it was
in the rainy season, was making about 3
miles a day. Mr. Shunk writes that, he can
make about 1,200 miles per year, and his
estimate is that it would cost only 532,000
per mile for the 60 miles of road north of
Quito. He says that the buildin? of the
road over the country he has passed is
entirely practicable, and he reports that the
officials and the people are very kind to
their party, and are helping it" along in
every way they can. The party has had
many hardships. Like the other surveying
parties, they live in tents and carry their
camp irom place to place on mules. They
have a lot of Indians to help them, and the
food is by no means good. In one letter re
ceived by Mr. Cassatt shortly after Mr.
Shunk's party got into Colombia, Mr. Shunk
writes:
Not a Pleasant Sort of Llvlnc.
The work here Is very hard. The days
are long and the nights are from 9toi There
is little fruit and the only vegetables are
potatoes and beans. If the nature of the
animals wo eat entered into us, we should
utter Dy this time some nightmare outcry
betwixt a grnnt, a baa and a ero w, and have
muscles like cat-gut.
The climate of the Andes during the
rainy season is terrible and the men are
working under great difficulties. Here is a
day in the Andes as described by Mr.
Shunk. He says:

Testing the City on Two Weeks' Stands for
Theatrical Attractions.
The announcement that Pittsburg Is to
experiment with itself as to whether it is
able to support a strong theatrical attrac
tion for a longer season than one week, ex
cites a broadcast interest in amusement cir
cles throughout the United States, Mana-
. ger David Henderson makes the statement
that he will bring his spectacular produc
tion, "Sinbad," to the Duquesne Theater,
beginning Monday week and continuing 12
nights. It has been some years since an at
tempt of this kind has been made in this
city. He was encouraged to make the ven
ture by the remarkable success the play met
with in Pittsburg a few weeks ago. To
make this trial contracts were canceled in
other cities and the sum of S1.800 was paid
an attraction that held a contract for next
week at the theater in order to obtain a re
lease. If tho venture succeeds it will have the
effect of revolutionizing theatricals in this
city to a verv great extent. The expense
incurred in railway transportation will be
saved. This is an item of no small import
ance tor a large attraction. When it is
demonstrated that Pittsburg can support
something of standard merit for two weeks,
.local managers will be enabled to obtain
better terms in making their contracts, and
some of the money now paid to railway
companies will be invested in perfecting
the details and making complete the mount
ings for Pittsburg engagements. Where a
play is to be given lor 12 nights or more
greater care can be given to all that per
tains toward making ii perfect, and it will
assume all the features of a metropolitan
production. Pittsburg has a population for
its amusement -houses with all tributary
sources of at least half a million people,
and Mr. Henderson argues that as cities
of lesser population support standard
attractions for an extended season
he can see no reason why this city can not
do so. The railway companies centering in
Pittsburg have taken an interest in this ef
fort, and are arranging to run special trains
from points within 100 miles along their
routes, offering low rates. Boston has
adopted this idea with great success, and
'.'theater trains," as they aro called, con
tribute a greater share of the" accommoda
tion travel, the railway trains being crowded
nightly. Mr. Henderson says that if these
two weeks are as successful as he antici
pates, he will bring his next spectacular
production to Pittsburg for three weeks.
Theatrical managers will watch the engage
ment with the keenest interest.

These factories will have an annual product of 29,120,000 cigars the first year, and will rapidly increase in product and number of hands employed thereafter. The wages paid out the first year will aggregate $728,000.
It is a well-known fact that cigar employes receive large wages; also, that almost without exception, they spend their money freely every weelcas they earn it. These eight factories will give an increase of population to
Ocala of over 2,500 people, about 1,000 ol whom will be employed in the factories. They will require 700 houses, which will be built immediately at West End Ocala. The La Criolla Cigar Manufacturing Company assure us
that 200 HOUSES ARE TO-DAY UNDER CONTRACT TO BE BUILT within 90 days.! The location of these factories will enhance the value of all adjacent real estate THREE TIMES ITS PRESENT VALUE.
The Ocala and Silver Springs Company is now negotiating for other factories, which will undoubtedly soon be secured.
A company from Havana, Cuba, nave started a tobacco farm of 160 acres near Ocala, on which they will raise Havana wrapper and filler, and, from previous careful experiments, believe It will be equal in quality to Cuban
tobacco. - -
Tampa, Florida, has increased 20,000 in population during the past five years, largely through cigar factories being located there. THIS FACT PROVES MUCH FOR THE ENORMOUS BENEFITS SURELY TO
