New York to Have a Hotel
New York April 11.—A Washing-
ton dispatch says: It is understood
here that John W. Mackay lias de-
termined to organize a company for
the construction of an imposing hotel
or apartment house in this city which
is to cost $2500000. The site selected
is one that will cause some surprise
to the citizens of Washington but
Mackay had been advised by well
posted real estate men who know
the tread of the city that he
has made a wise selection. The
property* comprises a tract of 2000
square feet situated at the head of
sixteenth street on the north side of
Floria avenue which a few years ago
was the boundary line of the City
of Washington and officially desig-
nated as Boundary street.
The property was purchased by
Mr. Mackay and his partners in the
enterprise for $400000 which is at
the rate of $2 a square foot. The
owner of the property got control of
it a few years ago at a cost of about
$1 per foot but by reason of not hav-
ing expended any cash but simply
having assumed the notes of the
various owners he has realized a
profit of $l5 .000.
Spirited Away by Masked Men
Wheeling W. Va. April IL—
Miss Amy Morgan daughter of a
Wheeling banker left a young man
who accompanied her home from
church at the gate Sunday night.
As she entered the house she discov-
ered she had dropped a letter and
went back after it. She was seized at
the gate by two masked men who
thrust her into a carriage and drove
all night. At daylight the girl who
was blindfolded heard one of the
men pounding at the door of a house.
He came back and said: "We are
here. The game is up.” The two
held a consultation as to whether to
kill the girl or let her go. They de-
cided to let her go. The girl ran and
walked ten miles and then struck a
railroad at Kiley sixteen miles from
Bellaire and twenty-five from home.
She got back yesterday exhausted.

PLAINLY ARSON.
Another Attempt to Destroy and
Injure Business.
Night before last at about 12 o'clock the
last ear on the Alamo Electric Street rail-
way started from Riverside Park for the
city. It was a good bit later than usual
and as it passed over the cattle guard at
the crossing of the Aransas Pass rail wav
track the motor man discovered that a
large fire was burning under the cattle
guard. Getting the car over safely
he and others on the ear stopped and
extinguished the tire. It proved to be
made up of logsand ties piled under the
guard evidently by some malicious parties
who probably though all cars had gone to
town and no assistance to extinguish the
tire would be available.
It is hut a’few days since the pavilion
at the park was burned in much the same
manner and the peace officers and
others have at last come to
the conclusion that some in-
oustrious lire bug is at work with
either the object of destroying the prom-
ising business of Messrs. Woatherhead &
Kelly or the property of the Alamo
Electric Car line. The matter has been
taken up at several ends and is befhg
sifted.
