Pram Italy was ailed to Sicily on similar business, Where I remained several months. day a ship came In from ca with passengers who were mostly pleasure or health seekers, among them an American gentleman, Mr. Es- and his daughter Alice. Alice Ea- ten was in delicate health, and this was the reason for their ma the trip. Mr. was wealthy and spent his money lavishly, lie took the best rooms in the hotel and had all the servants at his heck, each striving to win the coins he kept in his pocket to secure their attention. I made his ac- one evening, and when he learned that I was a telegrapher he told me that he had been an operator had secured an interest in a telegraph line which had afterward been sold out to a combination for so much money that his share had made him rich. He was very unwise in not conceal- bis for the Sicilian brigands are noted for rich people and holding them ransom. They soon spotted Mr. Ester, one day when he was climbing an ascent back of the hotel alone took him in charge.

Probably at first he might not defer to the demands of his captors, but after with death the face, he would be obliged to yield. I did not forget either the father or daughter and tried to get wind of the former. I opened telegraph offices and often in communicating with the asked If any news had come from the captive. A reply finally came that It was reported that the demands of the bandits, who thought he was fabulously rich, were so enormous that he could not pay them. At least this was the assumption from what the bandits had permitted to be known. I worked across the island, then back again.

Arrangements have already been perfected to first mortgage bonds on the road to the amount of per mile as fast as progresses.

These bonds will He placed the bands of a trustee but do not become the property of the railroad company until the road is completed.

This one per cent, differ- in of the towns or townships in addition to the derived from the railroad will, it is believed, be sufficient to meet all interest on the municipal and township bonds, so there would be no need of levying of a special tax for that purpose, and the railroad bonds would soon be valuable to the towns or townships possessing them. This matter was talked over and explained fully by the railroad representatives to the committee. Two suggested routes for the road have been under considers. by the promoters. Both these are the same from Raleigh as far as Wilson. At the latter place it is either to diverge via Snow Bill, and Ayden to Grimesland, crossing Tar on page
