El Paso, Texas, Dispatch 9th. A second battle was fought at Juarez across the Rio Grande today, but without result. To- ! night both Federals and insur rectos are resting on their arms. ready to resume the battle at daybreak. At least five persons have been killed on the American side of the line since the skir mishing began yesterday and about 15 have been wounded, while the loss on the battlefield is variously estimated at from 20 to 60 dead on both sides and about 75 to 100 wounded. AMERICANS KILLED Fifteen insurrectos wounded already have been brought to the American side, but more are believed to be lying far within the town. General Navarro at 7 o'clock tonight agreed to stop the firing while the insurrecto wounded were removed. The Federals have adequate medical facilities and are caring for their wounded within the town. vAll-day, the battle, vraged, the insurrectos swarming through the streets of Juarez and meet ing the heavy fire of the Feder als with an equally vigorous volley of musketry. JUAREZ IS TAKEN The insurrectos kept up trier fight Wednesday and the city finally surrendered. It is now the provisional capital of Mexi co and the Federal commander who defended it is a prisoner, Whether it is true, as reported, that apart of the insurrecto army began the attack on Ju arez against the wishes of Gen, Madero, their leader, who was disposed to further parley for peace, he joined in the fighting after it was on. The price of peace is the immediate retire ment of President Diaz and if the Mexican President persists in holding on it looks as if the revolution would overwhelm Mexico. 1 Certaiily it is appar ently stronger now than at its inception and is growing. DEAD AND WOUNDED The Federal loss in the battle of Juarez is estimated at 50 killed and the rebel loss at 15. while the wounded on both sides are estimated at 250. On the American side of the line five persons are reported killed and seven wounded, these get ting in the way of stray bullets. . ..... ALDERMEN DEADLOCKED Failed To Elect Superintendent Of Water Last Thursday Night. There was a deadlock in the aldermen's chamber last Thurs day night when the vote was taken for superintendent of waterworks. W. W. Barron, the present head of the, water system got two votes. W, Y. Weathers one and Nelson Latti more one. There not being a tie, the mayor could not break the deadlock with his vote and relieve the situation. They ad journed until the next regular meeting when they will wrestle with the problem again. Mr. Robert Kendrick was elected night police. At the former meeting Mr. J. F. Tiddy who has been city clerk for some time was re-elected. POOR BOY IS A RICHMANNOW GREAT PROFITS OF THE PULL MAN COMPANY George Pullman Learned the Cabinet Makers Trade and Later Began Making Railway Sleeping Cars The Company Now Has a Daily Earning of Over Forty Thousand Dollars. Richmond Times-Dispatch. . A poor boy in Chautauqua county, New York, sometime in the fifties, learned the cabinet maker's trade. Later he made money as a house mover, but not until he converted two or dinary railway coaches into sleeping cars did George Pull man become known to the worl d. His sleeping cars were success ful, and so. in 1863. he built "The Pioneer" at a cost of 118.000. It was the first Pullman car. In 1867 he organized the Pullman Company, of which he was president. The company started out with a capital of SI .250.000. Today the capitalization of the same company is $130,000,000. No new capital has been sup plied. Only earnings have been added to the original capital. Original stockholders who have retained their shares until the present have the satisfac tion of knowing that each share valued at $1,000 at the outset, is now worth on the market $100,- OOQAdd thishnGTmiJu cash dividends which have been ' paid out since 1867 and it' will be seen that each Pullman share has meant a goodly fortune to the holder. A cash dividend of 8 per cent is paid on the shares, and last year $20,000,000 was distributed in dividends. The average net earnings of a Pull man car per day is $7.62. As the company operates 5,283 cars, the daily net earnings amount to the pitiful pittance of $40,256.46 There are only three railway systems in the United States on which its cars do not run. These figures are derived from the first report that the Pullman Company has made in its 44 years of existence. - They serve to show a marvelous de velopment and the importance to the business life of the coun try of this gigantic industry. They also prove that the Inter State Commerce Commission was amply justified in asserting its jurisdiction over this trem endous enterprise. The report thoroughly warrants the com mission's assumption of author ity, especially in the matter of the reduction of rates. TREE FELL Pine Tree Topples Over For No Vis ible Reason, Whatever. Some one came to town the other day and brought the news that a perfectly " healthy pine tree on Sheriff Wilkins' place fell. There was no wind blow ing at the time, the tree was green and apparently solid. Just why it fell is not known, Some one examined it atter it had fallen, and found a small de cayed place near the base, but not sufficiently., large to warrant the tree falling without a strong wind. Memorial Exercises at Clover Hill Memorial day was fittingly observed et Clover Hill church Sunday. ; In the morning Rev. J. W. Strider preached an able sermon, after which the graves were strewn with flowers. In the afternoon Mr. D. ZL Newton delivered a thoughtful and in- 'spiring address on "Influence." There was also singing. 4 f i f 1 1- it i '(?:. '.f V it. VIM ? i 4 "' 3 :) . t . I 1 1 ! J v
