not to raise his hand or it would be the

AFI MALE BLACKMAILER.
How a Female lobbyist Tried to
Compromise Kenneth Ray 1er,
Solicitor of the Treasury.
August Ii

WASHINGTON, August 10.
A lively scene occurred this afternoon
in front OF the Treasury Department, in
which Kenneth Raynor, Solicitor of the
department, and female lobbyist,
named Mosely, we're the principals.
The woman called at the department in
a coupe and sens her card up to the So
licitor, with request for an audience.
In few minutes Mr.. RaynOr appeared
on the pavement minus coat and hat
and with pen in his hand. He ac-
cepted proffered seat In the vehicle,
and for short time conversed in low
tone with his Visitor. Sud enly he
was observed to spring from the coupe,
while the woman in loud tone of voice
threatened to denounce him i'll the
newspapers. This riled the Solicitor,
and he answered in a defiant manner:
SHOW dare you come here and at
tempt to blackmai. me, you shameless
creature? l have a strong notion tO
call an officer and have you sent to the
lookup"
This threat frightened the lobbyist
and she hastily ordered the driver Of
the cCupe to take her away, which was
done, greatly to the disgust of the large
crowd that had been attracted by the
affair.
Mr.. Raynor returned to his office in
a very excitable frame of miud. He
said subsequently that the woman had
asked him to reverse a decision regard.

the street. The case which she wanted
compromised had already been settled,
but she wanted it re.o2ened. The

for several weeks past, and had even
taken rooms at the hotel where he is
stopping and endeavored to form an
scquaintanceship with his wife at the

FOURTHEDITION
WHAT WE EAT.
A Plentiful supply OF Vege tables
aAd PRi0as Coming Down.

and Prices Coming Down.
The King street market this morning
presented a lively appearance. The wa
gons of the coHntry people were loaded
down with country produce while the
commission men and truckers had a
bountitul supply of fruit and vegeta'
bles. Good peaches are scarce and
command a high price, while prema-
lures are offered In abundance and sell
very slow.
The former sell for 20 cents per half
peck. About next week some of the
finer varieties will be In the market and
prices will be lower. The country peo-
pie say that the country is greatly in
need of another rain and unless 1t soon
comes the grass will be dried up and
butter will suffer. That article now
commands 80 and 40 cents while eggs
are scarce St 2S cents. Watermelons
and cantaloupes are coming into mark
ct in abundance, but good prices are
realized.
Watermelons sell readily from 10
cents on up to 60. Cantaloupes are of
fered from 35 cents to 81 per basket.
Tomatoes are more plentiful and readily
command 10 to Is cents per halt peck
and from 30 to 35 cents per basket.
Sweet potatoes are looking well and
sell from IL to 80 cents per half peck.
The farmers of Chester county were
made happy last night by heavy
show of rain, but the farmers in this
vicinity, while they looked for it, were
doomed to disappointment.
The clouds to-day however, are
heavy and rain is expected. Prices in
the meat market still remain Ligh and
the majority offered is not Of the best,
in consequence sales are slow. The
war on short weights and measures
will soon be commenced and in short
time the people will be able to get what
they pay for. There was no lack Of
buyers this morning and they were
pleased at the thought that vegetables
were coming down in pr -
