train load of logs ever to
Ito Orange" overland ar-
red on the Orange ft Northwestern
londay night and next morning were
«witched to the Lutcher ft Moore Lum>
ber company's lower nil 11 The train
consisted of ten cars and carried 35,000.;
feet of pine loga.
Tblí marks an epoch In the history
fbf Orange. There have been saw mills
In Orange since long before the Civil
war and -áirthe timber they have cut
has been floated down tl\3 Sabine
river entailing an enormous loss in
slnkage and stranded and stolen tlm-
|ber. The delivery of logs overland wasj,
never before attempted- and possibly
would not have been for years to come
but for the pudding of this road Into
the heart of some timber owned by the
Lutcher ft Moore people. The pres-
ent contract Is "for - 18,000,000 feet,
enough ,to run the eómpany's lower
mill Jufet about a year. /'
But the filling of this contract Is
Only a step toward the ^ittlmate adop-
tion of the all rail syslSnf of dellverfng
loga to Orange ^
H is but a short distance from the
present terminus Of the O. ft N. W. to
thé holdings of the Lutcher ft Moore
compan/ In Louisiana—millions of
feet of virgin pine—'•and the road al-
ready penetrates a vast an)C|pt of the
Klrby Lumber company's and the Or-
ange Lumber company'a holdings In
Texaa.
The conclusion Is a natural one that
If this present experimental contract
'proves a success—which It Is sure to
do—more extensive ones will be en
tered into loflig before the present oné
is completed,

End of BlttéV Fight.
"Two physicians had a long and
bitter fight with an abcess on my
right. lung," writes J. F. Hughes, of
DuPont, Oa., "and gave me up. Ev-
erybody thought my time had come.
As a last resort I tried Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption. The ben-
efit I received was striking and I was
on my feet In a few daws. Now I've
entirely regained my health." It con-

Cruahed Under a Train.
Sunday night about 7 o'clock a negro
named Nathaniel Griffin and giving bis
reaidence m Lafayette, La., waa picked
up by the section crew at Diana, a
•mall station on the southern Pacific
three miles eaat of Beaumont In this'
«oonty. Sheriff Johnson and Coroner
Windham were-notified and left fpr
Diana on the west bound Sunset
limited. Arriving there they found
that the negro bad been taken on a
handcar to Beaumont, where he was
put in the .hospital for treatment.
FTom what the aherlff could learn the
negro waa beating hla way on a freight
by the customary method of riding
the roda. A b^keman climbed down
the aid* ladder of the car on which
tbe negro waa riding and ordered him
to lump off tbe train. The coon re-
fused and the brakemah took a couple
of ahots at him, frightening him so
badly that he fell from his place and
ta (suing oanght one foot under the
wkeela of the train and having It am-
putated just above the ankle. At last
reporta the negro waa alive and will
doohttosa recover.
Since the recent stabbing of one
hrakeman and abooting of another by
aegró tramps, nearly all the tratyi
crews of this division carry arms and
they ahow no mercy to the black ho*
boes who undertake to beat . their
trains. V

How Batson Received the News
Batí on was informed of the gov-
ernor's intention not to do anything
In the way of interfering- w.th his ex-
ecution 'Friday by Attorney Paul. Som-
payrac. A representative of the Amer
lean accompanied Mr. Sompayrac to
the- cell. Reaching the cage, Mr. Som-
p'ayrao said to the condemned man,
who arose from his cot to receive the
news:
"Batson, the governor refused tn
sign the commutation of sentence, srijp
you are doomed to hang Friday.*'
Batson's .face turned red and hi*
eyes grew watery. He got close to the
man who defended his case so nobly,
.but-to no avail.
. Pulling from his pocket the tele-
gram, Attorney Sompayrac read it.
Meanwhile Batson,. was giving the
closest attention to-every word Said.
At the conclusion his lawyer aald:
"Batson, If you are guilty of this
crfme of which you are charged) ask
the forgivenness of God, and pray that
your soul may be saved."
.Batson hang his head, but did not
Utter a word. ' The reporter for the
American walking up to tbe cell asked
the condemned man If be had any-
thing to give the paper in the way of
a statement or if he wished to' express
himself, regarding the governor's ac-
tion. "
".Nothing doing for the paper," was
all that he would say. He spoke In a
very faint tone,.
Attorney Sompayrac asked Batson
to stand the ordeal like a man, and
Batson nodded his head in the affirma-
tive. Raising his head he addressed
Mr. Sompayrac as follows:
"Mr. Sompayrac, you and Mr. Over-
toiyhave done everything in your pow-
er for me, and I want to thank you
and say that I am perfectly satisfied."
Mr, Sompayrac said: "As this is the
last time that l will ever see you, I
Want to say good- bye. Good bye,
Batson, and may you rest In peace."
" Batson lald down on bis couch and
hla Interwlevers walked out.
Attorney Sompayrac on being ques-
tioned as to what he had to say, sartd
he waa not surprised at the governor's
action, as from hla source of informa-
tion .the governor had his mind made
up two months ago. that the man was
either to be hung j*r turned out scott
free.

ABOUT THE OIL"RCFINERY.
What Has Been Done at theBig Plant
South of Orange.
Á "representative of the Leader
drove out to the oil refinery Monday
afterpoon to take a look around and
ask some questions. s.
He was, met by Superintendent Van
Auken and shown over the plht.
On óne sldé of the grounds stands a
model ijrfek plant wKtch' IW ' makinK
brick for'the, construction of the main
refinery. One hundred and five thou-
sand are now made and stacked in the
kilo, which, when ready for burn! ib\
will contain 109,000. The brick ara of
fine appearance and^are of the de-
pressed variety. The clay from which
they are made Is of a light sandstone
color and when burned the brick will
ta.ke on a dark terra cotta tint.
From the" brick works {.he, scribe
was conducted to the nearly completed
experimental refinery, or laboratory,
which, it seems, Is built lij connection
with all large oil refineries. The set-
tling vats, .agitators, stills, bleachers
and pumps are all In position here and
when the pipe fitting is completed tbe
little plant will be ready for operation.
The small refinery will have a capac-
ity of 100 barrels of refined^ oil a d%y.
A large and commodious hotel Is sit-
uated just a few hundred feei |rom the
main buildings, and when operations
are in full blafet there will also be
some dózens of cottages erected for
the married men who will be employ-
ed by-the company. Just Inside the
fence which cuts off the hotel from
the remainder of the property, stands
commodious office building, finished
In hard oiled yellow pine and capable
of housing a small army of clerks.
To the east of the refinery stand
three monster steel .tanks, completed
and ready for oil; each capable of hold-
ing ten thousand barrels of crude oil.
Over on the edge of the property and
Just a few feet; from the banks of the
bayou stands the newly completed der-
rick. w,here' the^lrst experimental oil
welV is to be drilled. The boiler and
all the pipe fittings are in position and
everything is in readiness for the rig,
which was expected to .arrive here
yesterday. The drilling rig Is a
hrst class powerful rotary and will
send a six Inch pipe down into the
earth in a hurry. Every one with a
knowledge of oil Indications who jias
visited the spot where this well is to
be drilled predict that/ oil' will be
struck there in paying quantities. The
company has the capital to sink a doz-
en wells if necessary and the entire
holdings In the county will be thor-
oughly tested for oil, whether it is
found in this well or, not.
In. addition to Its. other assets the
company- has two valuable and practi-
cally inexhaustible shell beds on the
property and a short way from the re-
finery they have 500 acres of ride in
cultivation. j
Another portion of the property la
platted for a townsite and lots will be
put on the giarket whenever the prop-
er time foif further developments ar-
rives. Just opposite the oil well der-
rick is a large tract of marsh land and
local capitalists are buying it up al-
ready. so firm is their belief In its
valuable proximity to th& company's
holdings.

Mr. Hanford Denies a Slander.
A report was current on the streets
Monday morning £0 . the ef-
fect that the Orange' Oil and Refin-
ing company had laid off their men
indefinitely and boring for oil on the
their holdings was indefinitely post-
poned. Mr. Hanford arrived in the
city Tuesday and was seen at the
Holland and asKed as to the, truth
óf the report. He said:
There is absolutely no truth in such
a statement. The exact condition of
affaire ia this: We have been making
brick out there and have now enough
to burn an experimental kiln." We are
j\ot absolutely certain what the clay
will produce, so thought Chest'to lay
our brlckmakers, eft temporarily until
this kiln could be burned and the brick
tested. All the other men, pipe fitters,
-machinists and others who are em-
ployed about the refinery and the oil
derrick are still at work and will con-
tihue so.
"Our oi| rig Is now being loaded o'n
the cars at Beaumont and will be here
tomorrow or Thursday sure. We will
at once start it to work just aa soon
aa the fittinga can be made and the
steam turned on. Vou can further say
that there will be nothing secret about
our well or anything kept back re-
garding the depth which We are at
anytime or the nature of the soil and
indicationa through which we 'may be
paeaing at any given time. Further-
more, the public la Jnvited to come
out to the refinery at any and all timea'
during the progreaa of the drilling and
all reaaonable questions will be an-
swered by those In authority and-poal-
tlbn to best answer them.
Mr. Hanford was asked as to what
he considered the prospects out at
their refinery and said :•
"I can best answer that question by
tatting you that our chief driller. Mi.
J. M. Thrasher, was over last Sunday
and spent the entire day looking over
our holdings, particularly in the neigh-
ood of our derrick, He aays tbe
tlona are the finest he has ever
