Mr.. Cobell last Monday sent us
the biggest strawberry we have yet
seen. 1t weighed one ounce and ones
sixteenth, was three inches long, and
six and three-fourth5 inches in circum-
ference. it was a Longfellow in

Our information is that Milan ber>
ries now reach the market in better
condition than those from any other
point, and consequently they sell at
higher figures, even higher than those
from Illinois. Iu that state they are
sail to be damaged by the late rains.

ter strawberry shipments for the |. G.

trains from Milan to Chicago, to ac>

will do so again next year if the crop
demands it. The Illinois Central
people have won the friendship Of the

ton by theiraccommodating liberality
Parker Earle says strong soils pro-
duce the best shipping strawberries.
Poor land gives soft fruit, which suf
fers from long transportation. The
same authority recommends mulching
strawberry plants we'll with clean
straw just before the berries begin tC
ripen, to keep them from being soilec
by earth spattered upon them in show
ers, and blown over them by winds
This treatment is for plants in hills

The Death of Mrs. Carr.

Coroner Quinn on yesterday made a
thorough investigation into the sad accident
on Wednesday evening, which resulted fat
ally to an estimable lady named Mrs. Ellen
Carr, an exclusive account of whose death
appeared in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE.
After minute examination OF the circum-
stances of the lamentable affair, DR.. Quinn
decided that an inquest would be unneces-
sary, as the affair was purely accidental and
no blame could be attached TO anyone.
DIR. Fulton was making a professional
call on Summit avenue when the runaway
occurred. He left his horse in the charge of
the man he employs as driver, and the man
was walking the horse up and down the
street for exercise, the night being cold,
and in passing the roller rink the horse
started to run. The sleigh runners struck
the street car track aud upset, but
the man held on and righted
the sleigh, whereupon the horse made a
sudden turn, again upsetting the sleigh and
this time escaping from the driver.
An examination yesterday showed that the
horse did not step upon Mrs. Carr as sup
posed and her death is thought TO have re-
suited by striking her head on the street car
track as she fell. The daughter Of the dead
lady proves not to have been very seriously
injured and was able TO walk about yester-
day

Cleveland Offered Bayard Nothing.
Especial Telegram to che Globe.

lSpeclai Telegram 10 che GLOBE.
New YORK, Dec 11.-Governor Cleveland
was asked in relation TO the recent visit OF
Senator Bayard, if the secretaryship of state
had been placed at the senator's disposal.
''NOt that know Of, he answered, with a
smile.
''The New York papers credit you with
having made such an offer.'
$50 1 see," answered Mr.. Cleveland, sit
is entirely unauthorized, unjustifable and
indecent"
''Did the senator's visit have any public
signifcance?'
''None whatever. 1t was simply the visit
of one gentleman to another, and
they were both glad to see
each other. We did not suppose that the
visit would become public property, nor did
we care very much about its being known,
except for the reason that its significance, as
you call it, was sure to be exaggerated or dis
torted. The newspaper men found it, how
ever, and they have worked the secretaryship
story out of whole cloth.''
''Do you want to say anything about the
nature of your talk with the senators'
''Nothing, except that it was very sociable
and that our discussion did not in any way
resemble conspiracy. 1 can assure you
that nothing wrong was done"

A Singular Case.

A suit which was begun yesterday by
Henry Hensel, q well known truckman,
against the Omaha railroad, develops con-
fdence which has not heretofore reached the
public. Itappears that in October some lady
who was a stranger and claimed TO have just
arrived from Chicago, called at the Omaha
freight Office to inquire for some freight
which she pretended TO expect, and which
she ordered shipped back to Chi
cago when it came. By what process,
being a stranger, she could get a check
cashed, is not developed, but at all events q
check, purporting to be signed by Mr.. Hen
sci, for 1922. 10 was cashed for her by the
Omaha cashier, and she disappeared The
check was deposited by the railroad COM
pany, and, reaching the National German
American bank, where Mr.. Hensel keeps bis
account, with the railroad endorsement
thereon, it was duly paid. Mr.. Hensels
checks are usually given to the railroad and
come in in that way, and hence the bank
passed il. When Mr.. Hensel got his bank
book written up at the end Of the month he
first learned OF The check and pronounced il
forgery. The railroad company having
declined TO settle, Mr.. Hensel has brought
suit and the trial viii develop how such q
check came to be cashed. II was evidently
a pretty slick game Of the alleged Chicago
damsel

Wilson, the Inventor, Insane.
Especial Telegram to the clone. !


WATERBURY,, Conn.,, Dec. lit was
learned this morning that A. B. Wilson, in
ventor Of the Wheeler d Wilson sewing ma
chine, was sent to the Hartford insane asy-
lum yesterday afternoon, having become a
hopeless wreck in mind and body. 1t is
forty years ago as poor mechanic he in
vented the machine which now bears his
name all over the world and which should
have made him one Of the richest men of
this country. Dissipation ruined him, and
for years he has been descending lower and
lower, until for some time he has had the ap-
pearance of tramp around the town. He
has been incapable of caring for his property,
and his fine residence in this place alone re-
mains in the family, being held in the name
of his wife and daughters. His interest in
the manufacturing business at Bridgeport was
bought some years ago by Nathan c. Wheeler
His family at last have found it impossible to
longer keep the once fortunate inventor
from the asylum.
