TIT'ti DM AIT A DATTA" BEE : ET TDAT , JULY 7 , 1899. ! i ROUNTZE ! They Seem to Have the Upper Hand in tlje Port Arthur Tight. RESULT OF CONFERENCE RECENTLY HELD Offer of tlir KoiintrrH tn llnllil n Tcr- inlnnl l.lnc to SnMiio City Will Prnlmlilv lit * Afi-iMilcil l y the Hcci-lvorx. ' exclusive statement Connrmatlon of The IVe's ment that the dlfllcultles between the Kountzo brother * and the Kansas City , Pitts- burg & Gulf road , known ns the Tort Arthur Iloulc , comes from ICnnsas City. As a re mit of recent conferences the Kountzo Inter ests have promised to build a terminal rail road from Tort Arthur to their docks at Sa- blno City Bnd the receivers have said that they wilt make traftlc nrranKcraents with them. ThlB Is expected to end the warfare between the railroad and Its capitalist neigh bors. This much has been told by Webster With ers , one of the receivers. He says the re ceivers wilt not take up the battles of the railroad company under Its former manage ment , that they will do business whcro the road can bo most benefited and that It Is his understanding that the Kountze brothers win build a connection with the Kansas City , rittsburg & Oulf from Sablnc City to Tort Arthur. That connection will bo In the na ture of n terminal road. It need not bo moro than eight miles long to reach the ( locks on the Kountzo properties Just south of the present terminus of the road. I'olli'r of the ll 'crl cm. The position of the receivers , as outlined by Mr. Withers , Is that they are appointed to handle the railroad to the best advantage of Its owners. Heretofore It has been tnk- Ing grain for Uatvcston , because It did not reach deep water at Its own terminus. It has been at eomo disadvantage tn com peting with other roads because the South ern Pacific Is never unmindful of Its own In terest In the division of freight charges. Ho considers It good policy for the railroad to make Us own haul to deep water Just BO long ns possible and Its division of the profits with other railroads ns small as possible. To get Into Sabinc City only a terminal Is needed nnd the Kountzo brothers have agreed that the terminal shall ho built. Port Arthur will not bo abandoned If the policy outlined by Mr. Withers becomes effective , but It will bo at n disadvantage. It will take months to finish the ship canal deep enough to accommodate the big ships that nro used In hauling grain to Europe. Only small ships can enter now. This year's grain would have to bo marketed through Galveston , but Snblno City has deep water alrqady and can bo reached If neces sary by way of Beaumont Immediately. By the construction of the nhort line proposed the distance between Kansas City and deep water whore the very largest ocean vessels can enter will bo Immediately reduced. Won't uVlinniloii tinOminl. . "If the canal , when It has been finished , ehall offer the best facilities for reaching ocean vessels wo shall certainly not place It at a. disadvantage , " Jlr. Withers says , "but our duty IH to the railroad alone , and whatever advantages Sablnc City has to offer will not bo neglected. Port Arthur has a flno elevator , while Sablnc City has none. Ships can bo loaded at Sablno City that cannot now reach Port Arthur. The Kountzo brothers have told us they Intend to build. The only thing we can tell them Is that If they can offer superior advantages for the railroad wo will patronize them. That does not mean to the exclusion of anybody else. " It was told from another source that the Kountzo brothers have agreed to give the railroad 40 per cent of the prollt on any land Bold by them because of a connection with the Port Arthur lino. That might mean that In time the connecting line will bo port of the Port Arthur system , though termi nals are usually owned by Independent com panies. The controversy between the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Oulf railway and the Kountzo Interests , which seems to be nearlng an end now , began when the extension of the road to the Oulf of Mexico was agreed upon. The Kountzo brothers own about 100,000 acres on the west side of Sablnc Pass , an Inlet that Is from forty-five to sixty feet deep. An agreement to form a land company bene ficial to the owners of the land and the rail road at the same time could not be reached , because each sldo seemed to think It had something the other sldo must have. A. E. Stllwcll , who was then nt the head of the railroad management , determined that If he could not reach deep water on his own terms ho would bring deep water to his road. The company bought land en the west side of tbo luke above Sablno Pass nnd founded Port lArthur. The Kountzo brothers fought him from that day to this. The courts and the War department were asked to prevent the construction of tbo canal , but the work has gene on and the cnnal company hoped to have It finished by next fall. The company owning the ditch is Independent of the railroad and CCUHO- qucntly did not go 'Into ' the hands of receiv ers when the railroad did. Many of the same people are Interested In both eutarprlses nnd this fact was not forgotten by the re ceivers. Port Arthur Is still the terminus of the railroad proper , but tinker tbo receiv ership there will bo no hauling to Galrcsion or Now Orleans to avoid giving business to Sablno City. The Mallory steamships , which have n traffic arrangement with the Kansas City , Plttsburs & Oulf , run to Gnlveaton now , but Sablno City Is doing some business with ocean-going vessors through the South ern Pacific , which has docks and tracks there. Sablno City IE on low ground am may never bo a suitable place for any con siderable population , while a railroad built through It would require either trestle worker or ranch grading. AVANT.S A FIMiUll IX Tim I 1K Croat \ortlirrti Snlil to \fKotlatliiK for llntry Into Oniiilin , It seems that the Great Northern officials have their wires out for a right-of-way Into Omaha. For ft long tlmo they have hud their eyes fixed voraciously on the rich amount o freight business in this city , which could bo landed If they were only on the ground to fight for it. At first there was a suspicion that the Sioux City & Pacific would bo bought up. This would not mend matters materially , as they would be stilt twenty-live miles from their destination at California Junction. The Sioux City & Pacific runs to Fremont , but docs not own the bridge where the road crosses tha river at Blair , the latter belnsr the property of the Northwestern Now It In proposed to take the Sioux City & . Pacific and build a few miles from California Junction to connect with the Fort Dodge & . Omaha division of the Illinois Central , uow in process of construction , and coma Into the city over the Central tracks. Hallroad men are keeping their noses to tbo ground. President J. J. Hill of the Oreat Northern it laboring tooth and nail to force the Union Pacific to run a train to Sioux City. Thl nas formcrfy the custom , but has been dig continued of late. It has no advantage from the standpoint of passenger traffic fo the Union Pacific , but Is necessary fo freight. The Oreat Northern Is the chle purveyor of the output of the iron-producing districts of the north and it Is necessary t have direct communication with the Union Pacific whcro freight Is destined for Cole rado. Up to the present the freight has been carried as far as Sioux City by the Orea Northern and then transferred to the Sioux City & Pacltla and again transferred to the Union PaclOo at California Junction.

If any one has any doubts as to the pop ularity of the Woodward Stock company they would be quickly dispelled by watchIng - Ing the steady line at the box office of the Boyd theater all day yesterday. The first day of the advance sale was very encourag ing. Many people pl'aced their orders for the entire eight weeks. The opening play will be David Belasco's great society play , "The Wife , " which has not been seen hero for years. The production will bo very complete. Scenic artists have been em ployed steadily for tbo last five weeks. Every set , of which there are four very elaborate ones , will bo special1 for this play and will surpass anything ever attempted by this company , which had n run of twenty weeks In its new theater In Kansas City to enormous houses. Only one play will be given each week nnd they will all be staged In an elaborate manner. Prices , however , remain the same. In the estimation of playgoers the Troca- dero Is again occupying the unique position it hofd last year , when attendance at its performances was a reigning fad. There have been box parties Innumerable during the week. It Is the social feature of the at tendance which Manager Cole has spared no pains to promote and his efforts have met with success. The phenomenal engagement of Prof. Mncartc's trained animal circus becomes a greater drawing card than over , as Us ad vertisement is widespread and the perform ance Is bulng featured during the remaining few days. John Lo Glair's remarkable ex hibition of Juggling science and skill meets with popular favor greater man any oinor sketch of its kind. Edna Aug's latest im personation , that of the "coon girl with wounded pride , " Is Irresistibly funny and adds much to the hit she has already scored. Beginning with the Sunday motlnco the Trocadcro win present a charmingly varied program. VRIIV LOW UATI5 ! TO Colorado nnil lltnli A'lu Iloctc Iclnnd IIIIII ( C.

RISES TO THE SURFACE AND DISAPPEARS Act \Vltiirnnctl liy John Allen , Tnll- TnUor nnil AVntrlininn of the to Whom StraiiKcr 1'nlil III * Toll. Weary of life , nnd perhaps despondent from loss of friends nnd money , an unknown man leaped from the railing of the Douglas street bridge Into the Missouri river ycster- lay morning nt C:30 : and was berne down to leath. No trace of his Identity or the course pursued bythls body hns been found since no was seen to take the plunge. Watching nil nlgljt alone Is not apt to cause a man to overlook anything unusual and It Is due to this welt-established habit hat John Allen , the toll-taker and bridge watchman , saw the stranger take his life. Had there been n crowd crossing the bridge Allen doubtless would have paid no atten tion to the stranger , hut with , just one man on the bridge It was natural for him to fol low tbo pedestrian with bis eyes as ho crossed. According to Mr. Allen's story the man came from the Nebraska sldo to the window of the toll ofilcoat 6:15 : and shoved a nickel In for his passage. The watchman observed that ho was a man about 45 years of age , perhaps flvo feet six Inches In .height nnd would weigh about 130 pounds , as ho was of slender build. Ho were a reddish brown suit with soft , black bat. Having paid his toll ho passed on his way without acting In n manner that aroused the toll-taker's sus picions. When about the center of the bridge ho climbed on the railing and leaped oft without hesitation. Mr. Allen saw his body strike the water and disappear. It arose twice , but without any apparent effort on the part of the stranger to save his life. After tlio second appearance the body sank from sight to bo swept on Its way down the stream. Mr. Allen observed that the stranger had mot John Lavlgo of Council Bluffs , who works at the smelter. Lavlgo had crossed the bridge Just before the stranger and had met the latter at the west end. As Lavlgo was descending the steps Allen noticed that ho stopped nnd looked across the river Just as the stranger plunged from the bridge. Lavlgo's action Is believed to have been mechanical , because it Is not thought the stranger had told him of his purpose m ap pearing on the bridge at such an early hour In the morning. W. E. White of Council Bluffs stated yes terday afternoon that ho believed the man who committed suicide was named Larson , a Swede , well known across the river as a hard drinker. He said Larsen was not himself always and bad several times threatened to kill himself. A diseased stomach surely undermine- health.
