A dramatic situation developed yesterday when Nan Patterson. on trial in New York for the murder of Caesar Young, stood up ii the court room and faced Pawnbroker Ilyman Stern, the witness who sold the revolver with which Young was killed. Stern was unable to identify the prisoner as the woman who accompanied the man to whom hs sold the revolver. le was not certain whether this man had a smooth face or wore a mustache. le was not asked to identify the photograph of J.

No pOi8sonous VIEW FROM A HAND CAR Ride From Cripple Creek to Colorado Springs. I GRAND PANORAMA GROUP OF PICTURES THAT MADE COLORADO FAMOUS. Experience on What is in Some Respects the Most Remarkable Road in the Country. BY WM.

E. CURTIS. Written for The Evening Star and the Chicago Reeord-lierald. There are several remarkable railroads in Colorado. Nature has furnished scenic panoramas for everybody who makes a journey, and the surveyors have shown excellent taste in selecting rights of way On which passengers may be entertained.

People used to go into the Wpite mountains for scenery, and 1 can remember when the New York Central Railroad Company advertised the fact that it ran along the bank of a river opposite the Palisades. The Hudson will never lose its beauty, however; the Horseshoe Curve, on the Pennsylvania, is like one of the old masters, and the views on some of the other eastern roads are as good as you will find in any art gallery, but the sensational effects furnished in Colorado are more in accordance with the spirit of the age. There are two new scenio roas on the eastern slopes the Rocky mountains. One of them is being built from Denver westward as a short cut to Utah and the Pacific coast. The construction is very expensive, like most railway building in Colorado.

It will cross the Continental Divide through a tunnel 2.6 miles long, at an elevation of 9.930 feet, sixty-six miles west from Denver. Forty-five miles of track have already been laid. Another wonderful road, which has been in operation for nearly three years. and is, in some respects, the most remarkable in the United States, if not in the world, is called the Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek Short Line, and connects those two cities. in the first place, from the winowsof the cars you can see more scenery, more height and depth and other creatures.

as St. Paul says, than from any railway of equal length that was ever laid. In the second place. it was built by local people, with local money, and the stock Is all held in Colorado mpringa and Cripple Creek. It not listed on any exchange, and is not for sale in any city.

The road cost a great deal of The construction was very expensive because a greater part of the track is laid upon a shelf of granite carved out of the living rock on the east and south sides of Pike's Peak. A Road Full of Turns. 1 The track is 45.8 miles long, while, in an air line, the distance between its termini is only 19.5 miles. It has a uniform grade of 3.8 per cent compensated in curves. from Fountain creek, Colorado Springs, to the summit of the pass over the Divide, a distance of twenty-one miles by rail and ten iles by air line.

The maximum curve is eighteen degrees radius, 819.6 feet. From Summit to Cameron, a distance of eighteen miles. there is an undulating grade of 2.2 cent comnpensated In curves, and from Cameron to Cripple Creek a 3.5 per cent grade. with a maximum curve of sixteen degrees. radius 360 feet.

Between St. Peter's and Duffield, in order to maintain a uniform grade. three miles of track are required to gain a distance of 1,600 feet. The road winds around the sides and over the tops of North and South Cheyenne anyons. The roadbed is cut through solid rock most of the way, the track is laid with 75-pound rails upon 3,168 cross ties to the mile.

1 There are nine tunnels bored through solid granite. the longest being 532 feet, and several trestles and viaducts. which are now being filled in with earth. It is the intention of the company to make a solid roadbed without bridges or viaducts the entire distance. The altitude of Colorado Springs is 5,992 feet, while that of Cripple Creek is 9,505 feet, and that of Victor 9,734 feet.

The highest altitude reached by the tracks is l.3U) feet. Two passes in Colorado are higher than this-Marshall Pass, on the Denver and Rio Grande, being 10,832 feet, and Hagerman Pass, on the Colorado Midland. 10.944. The same company owns sixteen miles of electric trolley lines in Cripple Creek and Victor. which connect with the steam road and serve as feeders, reaching the outly- ing mining camps.

The line was surveyed in 199; construction work was begun Jan- uary 4, 1900; the last spike was driven1 March 3. 1901. and the line was opened fori traffic April 8, 1901. It was originally Intended for freight only. Until it was osm-i pleted, the only railway communication between the Cripple Creek district and Col- 1 orado City, where the smelters are, was either by going around Pike's Peak, over the Ute Pass.

or. still farther, by way of Pueblo and the Grand Canyon of the Arkansas. Stage coaches and mule had been carrying passengers and ore over Cheyenne Mountain for several years, and ('olordo engineers have always contended that they can take a railway train wherever a stage coach can go; hence the owners of several of the big mines at Cripple Creek and their friends in Colorado Springs organized a company and with their own money shortened the distance between the two An Incomparable Panoramna.1 We went up in the regular coach and came down on a hand car, carried by our own weight, and one of the engineers held a strip of five-inch scantling against the rim of a wheel, in order to slacken our speed. If that scantling had broken, or if he had lost control of the car, this letter would not be written. An incomparable panorama was spread out before us-a picture typical of Colorado.

and a thoughtful man could see many things which escape the eyes of careless observers. We could see the noblest group of mountains in the United States-eight majestic peaks rising more than 14,000 nd two more, the Spanish peaks, rising nearly to that altitude. The Sangre de (Thrito range rose like a great wall to the southward, and seemed to surround us, but mountains are common in Colorado.1 There are forty-two peaks in that state more than 14,000) feet high. Immediately under and around us were the pictures that have made Colorado fa- 1 ous. Manitou Springs, the North and South Cheyenne Canyon, the Garden of the ods, the Bear Creek Canyon, Palmer Lake and other natural parks and gorges, of which volumes nave been written both in poetry and in prose.

I UPHELD BY APP.LLATE COURT. Police Bulinag in Case of Holden Against United States. By an opinion wrttn by Mr. Chief Julstice Alvey the Court of Appeals has affirmed the decision of. the Police Court in the case of T.

F. Holden against ther United States. Holden' was charged in the Police Court with allowing a certain waste product-water mited with tar and oil-of the gas works of the Washington Gas Light Company, situ4ted at the foot of 12th street southeast, to flow into the Anacostia river, a tributary of the Potomac, In violation of the provision of section 901 of 1 the District code, providing against the pollution of the waters of the Potomac river. The Court of Appeals took the view that by the correct constrneotlon of the statute, 1 the manifest object of Congress was not only to provide protqdtien -of fish in the river, but for keeping the Wraters of the la streams in the Distript as free from pol-a lution as possible. 'l The court holds statute provid- 14 ing that "no person siia1l allow any tar, a oil, ammonlacal liqitor, or other waste product to flow Into be deposited In the rivers mentioned or qtg of the tributaries or into any pipe or ebed4t 'leading to the same," is clear and free from ambiguity, and the argument it appeared from the testimony that tlie amount of produet I which reached the rivd was too smnail to 1 work any injury could be sustained.
