MAI'S BEING PREPARED Emit Situation as to Status of the Depot Site Kill lit Reduced to Taper by Engineers. .Mr. Himmnnd Vill C.he All i r.ir Show, bat. Therefore. Casaot fUttl Coi stnctioi ii lite City It is Vttiit fee Knit. Work has been goln forward qulttly during tho post two weeks on the depot site matter and certain business men have determined that the site shall be In the center of the city if possible. They claim that the question of location Is an Important one and that the merchants cannot afford to have tho freight station at either of the extreme ends of the city. The city Is not now, nnd from It posi tion and shai never will be so large but thai the Scow Hay tlte will by all odds lie the must advantageous location. The question of drayaxe charge will be found to be an Important one, and Ihey have Induced, the company to defer de cision in the matter until more work can be done towards securing th central lo cation. Should th railroad company de cide on locating the depot at Smith- p..lnt. the principal shipping and whole sale business would of necessity drift lo the neighborhood of the depot. It la not n question of what the railroad comrany wants, but It Is what the city want and must hnve. It makes little difference to Hie railroad company w here the depot Is, but It makes s big difference to the ship per and merchant. One thing ' quite cirtaln, which Is of extreme importance to every resident of the city, no work will lie done on the construction of the line through the city until, the depot site Is determined. It will be a matter of serclus moment to all If this part of the work has to be left until K'S, and as a well known real estate agent said yes.'er tny. It liehoovr every man, woman and lilld lo uri;e th -matter to a settlement. ;"lo fame gentleman said that It wa i ill h to -delay In arranging for tho 8io Hay site. "There Is where the de- it must go: there I the site that will cis nearly do Justice to all and the t tuatton may as well be recognised first i. laid. No good can come of delay umy harm and the sooner the question Is settled the sooner Immediate henellts of the rallroud will be felt by all." MAPS PREPARED. Inquiry at the railroad 'ifflces yester day revealed the fact that th enitineers of tho company are prepaiiiM: maps which will show all of the ground. In tended for depot site, for which deeds have been put In, for Hie three different locations, and which will alsa show the ground still needed for each site, but which has not yet been donated. Uy this afternoon the matter will oe In shape to present to the various committees which have It In hand, so that they can see Just what progress has been made In securing the dtrterent ltcs. The greatest progress seems lo have lioen made by the parties having In hand the depot site at Aldetbrook, which Is almost complete. Their offer Is now almost double that mude by any of the other parties. MR. HAMMOND, Who In her for a ilav or iwo, said lo an AMorlur. r preventative last night that he did not feel Justllled In coinlnit lo a h.nty decision In tha matter of a depot site, as ho wanted to iv all Interested a fair show, but neither did he feel Justl lled lo, or could, commence construction through thj city mull the matter wa set tled. Another matter which Is considered of omo Importance, I the fact that the city cannot reap the full bcnellt of the moneys being spent here until proper hotel ae Hinimodatlurtti ure provided for the many Htrongera sure to Hook here this season. Instead of lying down asleep, it wa sug gested active steps should be taken to pruvldi for the proper car of visitor.

The Murderer of Three Director Suffers the Penalty of Death. Canon City, Col., Feb. 7. Benjamin Radcllffe, th slayer of the entire school board of Jefferson district. Park county, was hanged at the penitentiary tonight. The drop fell at Ki5 o'clock. The crime for which Radcllffe suffered death was prompted by a desire for revenge for I what he considered grievous wrongs. He deliberately shot down In the school house at Jefferson the three members of the school board, Samuel Taylor, Lincoln F. McCurdy, and George D. Wyatl. The cause of the trouble was the circulation of reports of alleged criminal Intimacy between Radcllffe and ris motherless daughter, a girl of 1$. The stories Rad cllffe attributed to McCurdy. It was elec tion day. May , when the directors arriv ed to open the polls. A quarrel arose and Radcllffe shot them down with a Winchester, one after another.

Mrs. Julia Bo land HUginson, who recently sailed for Europe with James W. Smith, will con test the suit brought by her husband, Francis Lee Hlgglnson, tn the Suffolk county courts. This action by Mrs. Hlgglnson effect ually silences the story that Mr. Hlggln son sent to his runaway wife In Genoa $UHJ,00U in settlement of their differences. An appearance was entered In Ihe su perior court this morning In Mrs. Hipgln son's behalf by Francis C. Welch, of the firm of Sohler & Welch, and the ens will probably come up In the May term of the divorce court. The libel which the court Issued upon Mr. Hlgglnson's application naming Smith as co-respondent. Is returnable on Monday. It may be that the case will not be reached In season for trial in May, and will go over to the October term. As no answer Is required In divorce cases, Mrs. Hlgglnson's side will not be heard until the case IS actually tried, unless she also files a cross libel against er husband on statutory grounds. -1 Washing t"owdr on earth.
