Were Wonderfully Impressed by tho Resources and Natural Advantages of tho Portion of Now Mexico that Scranton Capital Is Doing so Much to Develop Major J. W. Oakford Chats In an Interesting Way About What They Saw in tho Southwest. Great Timber Tract. Tho party of Scranton business men who left hero on Aug. 22 to pay a visit of Inspection to that portion of New Mexico which is being developed by the New Mexico Railway nnd Coal com pany, of which C. V. Simpson, of this city, Is president, has returned mnr velously Impressed with the region they visited. In mineral wealth nnd timber the region Is of surpassing richness they say, nnd the climate was a revelation. Although they wcro there during the warmest part of this very warm summer, at no time did they suf fer from the heat to tho extent they did In this city before departing. In the Inspection party leaving Scran ton wore E. P. Kingsbury, Major W. Oakford, C. P. Davidson, Thomas K. Jones, J. D. Williams, of this city, nnd Thomas H. Atherton, of Wilkes Harre. At Toledo, O., they were joined by Frank K. Drake, of that city, and tit Chicago by 'C. U. Eddy, president of the El Pnso and Northeastern Hall way company, which Is one of the subordinate companies of the New Mexico Railway and Coal company and was chnrtered to build a railroad from El Paso, Texas, to Salado, New Mexico, a distance of ICO miles. At Salado are the rich coal deposits owned by the New Mexico company nnd one of the objects in mind when the road was planned was tho development of these deposits. HAVE ARRIVED HOME. E. P. Kingsbury, J. D. Williams and C. P. Davidson arrived home Wednes day and Major Oakford nnd Thomas E, Jones yesterday. They left the other members of the party nt Cleveland, O., spent a short time there and then Journeyed to Buffalo over 1-ake Erie on one of the magnlllcent passenger steam ers that ply over the lakes. They ar rived In Scranton during the afternoon. Major Oakford, when seen In his olllce In the Board of Trade building lust evening, was enthusiastic over the trip and tho country he had visited. "I wns told a good deal about that por tion of New Mexico and my curiosity was excited," said Major Oakford. "I wanted to see for myself If nil tho marvelousthlngssaldubout It were true and I return convinced that not even all the truth about It has been told. "When we arrived In Chicago our party was taken In chnrgo by Mr. Ed dy, president of the El Paso and North eastern railway company and we became his guests. He escorted us to the officers car of that company which Is probably the most modern and com plete now In use In this country. That car was our home during the trip. Its name Is the Paso del Norte, mean ing the pass to the north, ns the Mexicans were wont to call the pass leading north and from which the city of EI Paso derives its name. "The car has nn observation end with double glass doors and screens to make travelling ns cool nnd comfortable ns possible. It Is fitted with air guage, speed Indicator, electric fan nnd even a typewriter. The state-rooms have brass bedsteads and there Is a well appointed bath room connected with them. At one end of the car Is a din ing room which can also be used for observation purposes. This cozy apart ment will seat ten persons comfort ably. DELIGHTFUL TRIP. "We had a delightful trip from Chicago to El Paso nrrlvlng there on Saturday. August 27. over the Santa Fe road. The car was switched onto the belt line of the New Mexico and Northeastern railway company which connects that road with the following entering El Paso: Southern Pnclllc. Texas Pacific, Santa Fo nnd Mexican Central. By this arrangement the freight that comes In over the new road from the territory being devel oped can be shipped In any desired direction. "After leaving El Paso the railroad for about ten miles winds through a lovely valley devoted to cattle raising nnd then gradually climbs out of the valley onto n high table land. Then come3 a waterless prairie through which tho road shoots In a direct line for forty-three miles. Tho first point of Interest on the road Is the Jarllla hills which lift their head heavenward about three miles from the load near the end of this stretch of prairie. These hills nre rich In gold. Iron, copper nnd turquols. The gold mines were oper ated successfully when water had to carried a distance of forty mlle3 across the desert prairie. These mines are now being reopened and In addition to tho product of free gold a large amount of low grade ore has been uncovered that will prove profitable for shipment. "Deposits of copper and Iron dis covered are very large und rich and this Iron und copper ore will furnish much valuable freight for tho railroad. Our next stop was nt Alamagordo, eighty miles from El Paso, and tho same distance from Salado, the propos ed terminus ot tho road. It is to bo the metropolis of the new region and Is a town that is destined- to grow very rapidly I think. FUTURE METROPOLIS. "When we reached Alamagordo wo found a party of Mexican freighters camped for the night on the most valu nblo corner lot In the town. Wo saw tho future city to consist of a few brick blocks, some adobe und frame build ings, many tents and not n few anch ored prairie schooners. These are to supply the barest necessities of tho people already pushing In und nil build ing which can possibly bo deferred Is waiting for the completion of the saw mill and the brick yurds. The town has a splendid location and many natural advantages. It will be tho headquar ters of tho railroad, and thero will be the olllces, shops, etc., of tho company and nlso tho large saw mills that will bo built to cut tho timber from the Im mense tract on tho Sacramento moun tains owned by tho company. "Along tho railroad a strip of land 300 feet wldo and a mile und one-half In length has been Irrigated nnd trees and vegetables set out to show the possibilities of the soil. The trees are only young and, of course, one could not tell much about them other than that they are fine, healthy looking sap lings. I don't think, however, that I ever Haw such a variety of vegetable In such a uniformly thriving condition as here. WHOLESOME ADVICE. For Teople Whoso Btomnchs Aro Weak nnd Digestion Poor. Dr. Harlandson, whose opinion In diseases is worthy of attention, says when a man or woman comes to me complaining of Indigestion, loss ot ap petite, sour stomach, belching, sour wntery-rlslngs, headaches, sleepless ness, lack of ambition and a general run down norvouB condition I advise them to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, al lowing tho tablet to dissolve In tho mouth, and thus mingle with tho food eaten, Tho result Is that the food Is speedily digested before It has time to sour nnd ferment. Theso tablets will digest food anywny whether the stom nch wants to or not, because they con tain harmless digestive principles, vegetable essence, pepsin nnd Golden Seal which supply Just what the weak stomach lacks, I have ndvlsed the tablets with ."rent success, both in curing Indigestion and to build up the tissues, Increase flesh In thin nervous patients, whose real trouble was dyspepsia and as soon ns the stomach was put to rights they did not know whnt sickness was. A llfty-cent package of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets can be bought at nny drug store, and ns they nre not a secret patent medicine, they can bo used ns often ns desired with full ns suranco that they contain nothing harmful In the slightest degree: on the contrary, anyone whose stomach Is nt nil deranged will find great benefit from tho use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. They will cure nny form of stomach weakness or disease exee.it cancer of the stomach. Full size pick ago nt druggists UOc or $1.00 or by mall from Stuart Company, Marshall, Mic.i. "Five miles from Alamagordo Is La Luz, the present terminus of tho rail road. It was settled thirty years ago by Mexicans, but since then many Americans have found their way ncross the desert prairie to It. Frult ralslng has been tho principal business here for years, nnd now that a rail road has reached It and shipping ad vantages are offered, frult-rnlslng should attract more attention than ever before. The fruit linn nn unequalled llnvor and Is never attacked by worms. Neither are the trees, which present an entirely different appearance from those we see hereabouts. All kinds of vegetables can be raised with scarcely an effort. THE LUMBER ROAD. "At La Luz, thcMnmber road which runs up Into the Sacramento moun tains connects with the line. Lumber Is now very scarce In that region nnd the company Is very much hampered In Its work for lack of It. Theiefore It has been thought wise to concentrate every energy in the completion of this railroad nnd the opening up of the lumber tract which comprlsen a strip forty miles long and twelve inlb's wide of the finest timber In the country. "The construction of this road was full of engineer difficulties, but they have been overcome nnd In about a month it wll I be completed. It is twenty miles In length and runs nlong the La Luz and Fransnel canons. Down this road the trees will be taken to La Luz nnd thence nlong the main lino to Alnnmgordo where they will be cut and prepared for market. "Our party went ur to tho timber land which Is from 7.000 to :.0(n feet nbove the sea level. It was an Inter esting and somewhat exciting trip, the wagon road winding through the mountnln nlong the edge of precipices that gave magnificent views of the bot tom of the canyon. Wo spent two nights camping Jn the mountains and found the thermometer regis-tered In the neighborhood of sixty in tho middle of the day. The air is so dry in that entire region, however, that heat and cold can be endured with less annoyance than In Pennsylvania. These mountnlns are nlready much visited by Invalids and will be the Mec ca of persons suffeilng from pulmon ary troubles within the next few years. "Wo went no further than La Luz and therefore did not Inspect the coal beds nt Salado. They have, however, been subjected to every possible tests by the best experts In the country und their values fully determined und tho quantity found sufficient to supply 1 largo tonnage to tho road for three gen erations. As soon as the lumber land is opened the work of pushing the rail road on to Salado will bo taken up. I am glad I went to New Mexico. Truly it Is a wonderful country." AN APARTMENT HOUSE. To Be Erected at Corner of Monroe Avenue and Mulberry Street by Well-known Scrantonians. One of Scranton'o real, long-felt wants Is to be supplied by the con struction of a modern, up-to-date apartment houe at Monroe avenue and Mulberry street by Fred C, Hand nnil James Archbald. Theso gentle men own a plot of ground fifty-four feet front and ninety-five feet dep, which Is nt present occupied by two frame dwellings. These are to bo torn down nna In their pluce a handsomo brick and stone apartment houso erect ed. It will be 45x80 feet, four stories In height and will contain six flats and two stores. The corner store toom will be nrrnnged for a drug store. The stores will be lGUxlO. There will bo four six-room flats and two ilve-room flats with the necessary closets, baths, etc. They will bo supplied with steam, gas, water, gas-stoves, electric bells and speaking tubes. Each flat will have Its vegetable cellar. The building will fnco on Mulberry street and will be handsome In appear ance. It will bo constructed from plans prepared by Lewis Huncock. Next Monday the Nay Aug Lumber company which has the contract for tho build ing, will break ground for It. Tho building Is to be completed by Novem ber 10.

PICKING FLAWS IN THE HANDLEY WILL EXPERTS FOUND IN IT PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ARGU-niNT. Resume of tho Attack on tho Famous Document Made Before tho Circuit Court in WUliamsport Incidental Story Telling tho Reason Why St. Leo's Battalion of tho West Side Didn't Get "the Handsomest Hall and Library in This Region." As briefly mentioned In yesterday's Tribune, tho defendants In the Hund ley will case admitted the kinship of the clnlmnntH nnd left to be decided only tho question of whether or not there is nn estate for these heirs to ennio Into. Tho case was opened before Jtldgo Acheson Tuesday morning by ex-Judge Jessttp who proceeded to present the proofs of kinship but was halted by the defendants ndtnlttlng this claim. Ho then went on to enumerate the law points of the plaintiffs nnd wns fol lowed by Colonel George H. Stnrr, who nrgued these points nt length. Ex Attorney General 11. W. Palmer. City Solicitor Ward, of Winchester, and Major Holmes Com ad, nssoclate coun fcI for the City of Winchester, pre sented the defense. The argument consumed two whole days. Judge Acheson In no way gave nny Intima tion of his Impressions of tho case by nny comments or questions. He s.abl he hoped to give his adjudication In side of three months. Tho main contention of the clalmnnts was that the City of Winchester was not capable under tho laws of Virginia nnd provisions of Its charter of taking and administering tho trust, created by the residuary clause of the will which reads that the residue of his es tate shall be invested for twenty years nnd that at the end of that time the income shall be expended for "the erection of school houses for the edu cation of the poor." LAW IN VIRGINIA. In Virginia, unlike In many stntes, thero Is nn doctrine of charitable uses, or in other words, tlm charters of mu nicipal corporations have not been ex panded so that they can "become trusts for (Jjarltable uses." Incidentally, It might be remarked the Virginia legislature ndopted tho "doctrine of charitable uspe" In 1S9B but as no law can bo retio-uctlve it does not coer the present case. It Is regarded, however, ns an ndmlsslon on the part of the Virginia legislators that Winchester was Incapable of ex ercising such a trust, ns It wns un doubtedly the Hundley bequest thnt pointed out the Inadequacy ol their lawj In this regard. It Is further contended that the pur poses of the trust aro not germane to the objects of the corporation of the City of Winchester. The city has noth ing to do with the education of the poor and If it undertook to carry out the behests of the trust It would be overstepping the authority of Its chnr ter. The residuary clause Itself Is held to be void nnd abortive, because there Is an Incurable uncertainty as to pur poses or objects of the trust; also as to the practicability of erecting school houses ns directed: also as to what classes ot persons are Intended as bene ficiaries. The residuary clause, the plaintiffs argued, admits of several distinct con structions, no one of which seems rea sonable, but any one of which seems ns reasonable as any other: nnd for that reason the purposes nnd beneficiaries Intended are so vague nnd uncertnln that no court can determine what the testntor Intended. What mnkes this the more embarrassing Is a clause of the will which reads: "I do hereby de clare that all of the several bequests made In this, my will, nre made upon the express condition that none of the moneys shall bo applied to any other purpose whatsoever than those speclnlly mentioned and herein appointed." COURT PREVENTED. This, It was held, prevents the court from giving the will nny construction other than that which the language ot the Items warrants. It Is Impossible to determine whether tho testator Intended that the whole of the Income of the residuary estate was to be .applied solely to the erection of school houses, or whether a portion was to be used to buy lunds and an other portion to maintain the schools. In providing for the library, Handley specifically stated that only JL'50 of the bequest of $250,000 should be applied to the erection of the library building. No provision being made for tho land on which to erect the school houses, there Is no certainty that the trust will ever be carried out; In fact, It Is us good ns certain that It will never bo carried out if the buildings have to wplt upon some third party furnishing the land and the means of maintaining the schools. The attempt to carry out tho trust, It was argued, would prove abortive, ns the conditions forbid the cltv of Winchester from applying nny part of the gift "to any other purpose what soever than those specially mentioned," und tho only purposes mentioned nre "the erection of school houses for the education of the poor." Tho phrase "for the education of tho poor" was given no little attention by the counsel for the plaintiffs. In Itself, It was contended, it was sufficient to Invalidate the residuary clause of the will, because of Its uncertainty and vagueness. It wns pointed out that the fund was not for the education of tho poor of Winchester only; nor for the poor of the world at largo; nor for poor chil dren. Tho only ccrtnlnty nbout the clause Is that no rich person could at tend the schools. WHO IS TO DETERMINE? "Who," the question was usked, "Is to determine who 'the poor' are?" Thero Is no limitution expressed br Im plied nnd the city of Winchester Is thereby entrusted with tho education of the poor of the world, a task It Is certainly not authorized to undertake under the terms of Ita charter. It wns argued that It would bo un reasonable to Interpret the clause to mean that the fund was to be applied to the erection of school houses for the poor of Winchester. There aro less than C.000 Inhabitants In tho city und tho total amount of money expended yearly for both tho education of the rich nnd poor of the city Is $3,000. It is not reasonable to suppose then that the $C0,000 Income a year that tho fund will provldo was Intended to be applied to tho erection of school houses for the poor."

Would Not Allow Work on the Provi dence Pavement to Begin Yes terdayWhy He Interfered. City Knglneer Phillips yesterday de clined to allow tleorge McDonald, con tractor, to begin work on the proposed Providence pavement. The contractor Is not prepared In point of labor or ma terial to do the work, but was prompt ed by n desire to be sure and have a stronger hold on the city In case court granted the objecting property owners an Injunction. The city's answer to the bill In equity must be filed not later than to morrow. It will probably be filed to day. On Wednesday Attorneys Kverett Warren and A. A. Vosburg were re tained by the property owners favor ing the pave to aid City Solicitor Mc Glnley In looking after their Interests. In anticipation of a culmination of the proceedings favorable to the city, the city englneef says he "will not allow a pick to be stuck In the roadway." Ills position Is assured by n section of the paving ordinance which provides that the work shall begin under direc tion of the city engineer nnd shall be performed under his supervision. While it Is admitted that the con tractor would have a good case against the city, his damages would be greater If he was allowed to bring material on the ground and begin work. He evi dently had this In mind yesterday when he sought permission to begin opera tions. .lohn F. Shaunessy, ot Newark. N. J., has been engaged as superintendent by Contractor McDonald nnd has been in this city since Wednesday.
