EX-GOV. ST. JOHN.
A Talk For the Benefit of the Suffering
Miners of Clay.

Brazil, Sept. 7.-CSpecial. ]-Ex-Gov.
st. John addressed fair outdoor audience
here yesterday afternoon, all giving him
the closest attention for two hours His
hearers were composed mostly of miners
and country people, the city failing to
respond literally. As a rule, republicans
did not go out to hear him for the reasons
that they regard him as democratic annex
and that the proceeds of the meeting
were to be applied to the striking miners
fund, and then the Indianapolis Journal
had cautioned them against the "prohibi-
ton trick" under the guise of a miners
benefit. The speaker was particularly Sc
we're on ministers of the gospel and pro-
Tossing Christians who preach, pray and
sing for the suppression OF the liquor traf-
fic then vote with the parties and for the
men who tolerate and license it. In the
discussion OF the labor and tariff issues he
was unsparing in his denunciation OF the
burdens imposed by our present laws
and Tor quarter of a century back, under
the guise of protection to labor, asserting
broadly that muscle and labor does not
and has not been protected to the extent
of cent, but that all the protection af-
forded goes to the capitalist and manufact-
urer. He would repeal all the duties on
necessaries of life-food, clothing and
fuel-and give consumers the markets
of the world in which to buy,
and would raise all revenues by
direct taxation, making the burden rest
wholly upon valuations, every man con-
tributing according to what he owns and
not in proportion to what he consumes.
Said he: when miners are locked out
TO be starved in, and farmers get for their
cattle cent less per pound than the cost
of production, and it takes a bushel of
oats to buy pound of crushed sugar, it
is high time that the eyes Of labor should
be opened TO the burdens and iniquities
OF our protective tariff system" The net
proceeds realized from the meeting for
the benefit of the miners fund was $50.

sULLIvAN's RECEPTION.
The Pugilist Given "a Hearty Welcome BY
His New York Friends.

New YORK, Sept. latter many post
ponements and delays, the long heralded
reception to John L. Sullivan was held at
the academy of music tonight. Four
feminist from Third to Fourth-ave. was
filled with a motley crowd of Sullivan's
admirers, and when the champions car
riage appeared it was almost impossible
for the driver to bring it to the curbstone.
When the champion ahghted the cheering
was tremendous The audience in the
academy was not nearly as large as had
been expected. Long rows OF empty
chairs stretched along on either side. The
reason for this presumably was the high
price charged for admission. The pro-
gram was a comparatively tame one, the
only really good contest being the
wrestling match between Muldoon and
"Greek George" Sullivan appeared late
in the evening. He has lost none of his
old time quickness and grace, and he
never appeared to better advantage than
in his bout with Mike Cleary. His APP
pearance on the stage was the signal for
tumultuous applause which lasted for fully
ten minutes. The big fellow stepped to
the footlights and made one OF his char
acteristic speeches He said;
Gentlemen, or rather ladies and gentlemen,
for | notice there are several ladies present, |
do not know what to say to you. am at present
suffering from a sad afflictiOn-the loss of my
mother-but ] wish to thank the New York
public for their kindness to me. They always
have been kind to me, and | never shall forget
it. | beg to remain your humble servant.
Sullivan then turned and shook hands
with Cleary, and the audience were
treated to a fine exhibition of scientific
boxing. Sullivan showed no disposition
to administer any Knockout blows, but
Cleary seemed to be little afraid that the
champion mightfor himself. The box
ing of the men elected much applause,
and when the two rounds for which they
had engaged were ended, the pugilists re-
tired amid great enthusiasm. Sullivan
carried from the stage handsome floral
basket, presented to him by one OF the
spectators.

A Boston Firm Finds Itself In a Bad
Shape Financially.
Boston, Sept. 6.-The Douglas ak manu-
featuring company office No. PA Purchase-st.,
Boston, and factory at Douglass, Mass, has
placed its affairs in the hands of Moorfeld
Storey. This action is due to the discovery that
the treasurer, Denison Daua, is missing and
that the accounts of the company bad
condition. Mr.. Dana's absence was discovered
yesterday while the directors of the company
were waiting for the opening of a meeting of
the board. hasty examination of the &C
counts were made and they were found to be
in very bad state.
A. T. Perkins, the president, said: "Mr. Dana
has been in the employ of the company from
boyhood and we have not had occasion to sus-
pect him. The company has been going along
successfully for about fifty years, and its pros
perity has been great"
When asked if he could give any idea of the
present liabilities or the condition of the COM
pany, Mr.. Perkins replied: "No, we have not
been able to approach anything like a definite
view of the results. But we know they must
be bad. judging by Mr.. Dana's accounts that we
have examined thus far
Mr.. Storey, upon being interviewed, acknOwl-
edged that petition in insolvency would be
filed tomorrow. He said: "Mr Dana, treasurer
and manager for the company for the past
thirty years seems 10 have abScOnded with a
large sum of money. The liabilities of the
company are chiefly to banks"

WAS DETERMINED TO Ole.
And Fought Her Rescuer Like Tigress-
Result of a Love Affair.

And Fought Her Rescuer Like Tigress-
Result of a Love Affair.
NEW York, Sept. 7.-One of the most
determined attempts at suicide ever heard
of was made last night by Lena Hertzog,
seventeen years old, who resides with her
parents in Williamsburg. The girl is a
comely brunette, plump of form and of
pleasing appearance. She was passenger
on the ferry-boat from Brooklyn on the
1910 o clock trip last night to this city.
When the boat reached the Grand-st ferry
on this side, Miss Hertzog came ashore,
but Immediately returned and paid
her fare and once more took a
seat in the cabin. The boat had
not yet cleared the slip when one of the
deck hands saw the girl walk rapidly out
of the cabin toward the stern of the boat.
For moment she stood still and then
suddenly swung herself clear of the east
rail and disappeared. The deck hand
gave the alarm and the boat was stopped.
Inside of few seconds life preservers,
ladders and ropes were called into requisi-
ton. The electric light made things as
clear as day. The first life preserver
thrown fell close to the girl, but she
pushed it away, with an angry gesture.
The noise and shouts attracted the
ticket chopper, James Kelly, who is an
expert swimmer, and has already saved
thirteen people from drowning. He
jumped into the river, seized the girl by
the waist and lifted her bodily up so that
she might breathe. The girl turned upon
him and struggled to free herself from his
grasp Kelly held on, however, and made
for the slip. 4 desperate struggle fol-
lowed. The half-drowned girl seemed to
gain new strength and she fought like a
tigress. When near the slip, ropes were
thrown. Kelly caught one and wound it
round the body OF his charge, but it
was quickly thrown Off This
the girl repeated three times,
and then, Selling her rescuer by the arm,
savagely bit him. Kelly was becoming
exhausted, and saw that if the girls life
was to be saved violence would have to
be used, so he was compelled to beat her
sired effect for a time, but when an at
tempt was made TO lift her upon the lad
der she broke out afresh, but was finally
landed, wet, limp and exhausted.
This water battle lasted only fifteen
minutes When stimulants were offered
the girl later on she threw the glass from
her and smashed it. Finally the reckless
creature was placed under arrest, and aft
erward sent to the hospital in an ambu-
lance, where to-day she was doing nicely.
Her parents say that the whole adventure
arose from a love affair.

The Monopoly Campaign.
[Evansville Journal-ren.l


The octopus has tried every means 10 defeat
the operations OF the law. 1t tried to defeat it
in the legislature through its paid agents and
lobby. Failing in this it refused to offer pro-
posals to furnish books and used its influence
with the other monOpolistic publishers to this
end. Then. when the Indiana school book CON-
pany came to the relief of the oppressed school
children, the octopus tried by all means in its
power TO discredit the gentlemen connected
with this responsible corporation. When the
time came to introduce the new books they
were misrepresented and lied about A suit is
now brought by one member of the trust TO
make it appear that a contract exists binding
the state years ahead to buy books of the
monopoly. As last play" the superinten-
dent of public instruction issues a circular
advising the people not to sell their old books
and in aid of this advice, booksellers in the in
terest of monopoly offer 10 buy the old books
ahead OF the new company.
All this obstructive tactics will not avail to
save the octopus and its aiders and abettors.
The people of Indiana are tired of being
swindled; they propose TO put stop to the old
gouge game.

it would lend no force to the contract, be-
cause by the unanimous consent of the
county board changes could be made at
any time
ut is suggested, however. that by its by
laws the board can make no change of
text books except at its April session, and
consequently there can he no action upon
the subject now, except it be under the
act of the legislature, and therefore the
validity of that act is in issue, even if
plaintiffs contract is for no definite term
of use. The sufficient answer to this is
that by the terms of the bylaws changes
may be made at any time by two-thirds
vote OF the members of the board.
ut follows that the application must be
denied, and it is so ordered"

THE HEIR TO A FORTUNE.
A Young Lady Left Large Legacy BY
Her Grandfather.

n
Her Grandfather.
CHICAGO, Sept. Some days ago Chief
of Police Hubbard received a request from
DIR. J. II. Brewer of Sioux City, Ia, for
the full names and addresses of all the
Adamses in Chicago. The following story
is told in explanation of the request:
About twenty years ago a man named
Andrews eloped with Miss Viola Adams,
the daughter of wealthy resident of Chi
cago. The father cast his daughter of.
The young husband soon began to treat
his wife harshly and finally she left him
and returned to her father, bringing her
baby daughter with her. Subsequently
the child was stolen and all efforts to
find her were unavailing. Finally Grand
father Adams died, leaving the missing
child legacy of $4,000. 1t now appears
that she was stolen by her father, who
placed her in the family of Nor
wegian named Nelson in Des Moines,
Ia, where she grew up as their
daughter. Recently DIR. Brewer dis
covered the facts in the case
and secured a confession from the father,
who had been playing the role of friend
of the Nelson family. 1t was his inten-
ton to take the girl to Chicago and secure
the legacy for himself The young lady
is now with Dr. Brewers family in Sioux
CITY, and the doctor is endeavoring to find
her Chicago relatives

Observation-Disclosures.
Dick Meyer & Co.'s Mammoth Sugar Plant
in New York CITY Burned.

in New York CITY Burned.
New York, Sept. IA very disastrous
fire broke out about 80 this afternoon
in the mammoth sugar plant of Dick
Meyer & Co., on n. Seventh and n.
Eighth-sts., Williamsburg. The fire
started with an explosion, the exact
cause of which is not known. 1t is sup
posed TO have been caused by the ex-
plosive nature of finely powdered particles
of sugar which had permeated the air in
the mills where the graduated sugar
was reduced to the powdered product.
There were three mills at work reducing
the granulated sugar to powder. The en-
tire establishment, which consisted of a
collection OF buildings eight stories in
hight, extending about 400 feet on n. Sew
enth-st., 800 feet on n. Eighth-st. and $50
feet along the dock was reduced to mass
of ruins. 1t was filled with very valuable
machinery, and the loss on the buildings
and machinery is estimated at about ST.
100000. Within the building were LOO
barrels of sugar valued at about half a
million dollars, making a total loss of
about 100000. There were a number
of men injured by the explosion or burned
by the fire. Their names are not yet OBJ
tainable. The mills employ about 200
men, who will be thrown out of employ
ment.

Hunting For Pearls.

ALBANY, Wis, Sept. 6.-The pearl excitement
in this vicinity is now at its hight. Although
clans are getting scarce and the divers have to
dig in the mud in the bottom of the river, the
finds are more numerous and valuable than
ever. The largest and by far the most valuable
pearl in Wisconsin was found yesterday. A
New York buyer offered $500 for it, but his
figure was considered too low. Hundreds of
small pearls are found aud sold daily. The
purchasers are agents of Chicago, New York
and Paris houses. Visitors and clam hunters
are pouring into the village, and the banks of
the river for miles are dotted with tents.

A BLACK EYE FOR HovEY.
Judge Rowland Holds That Hyde Il Coal
oil Inspector.

Judge Rowland Saturday, in line with
his other decisions, ruled that Nelson J..
Hyde was coal oil inspector, and con-
sequently Prof. Gorby state geologist.
Gorby was appointed state geologist by
the legislature and he appointed Hyde
coal oil inspector. Gov. Hovey appointed
Prof. Collett geologist, and the latter
named Simeon Yancy as coal oil inspector.
Two coal oil inspectors naturally caused
trouble and confusion, and to settle the
matter Yancy brought mandamus pro-
ceedings against Hyde. The latter de-
INJURED and the demurrer was sustained.
The plaintiff stood by his complaint and
has appealed to the supreme court.

Negroes Ear.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. Gone of the
most remarkable murder cases ever recorded in
this state is on trial in the Fayette county GRIM
inal court L. r. Smith was employed last
spring as a detective. He arrested Jackson,
the negro he killed, thinking he was muir
derer. He afterward learned he was mistaken
in his man. In order TO secure his reward,
Smith told the negro he would release him if
Jackson would allow him TO cut off one of his
ears. Jackson's ears were similarly marked to
those of the negro wanted.
The negro agreed and the ear was cut of.
Smith then feared that the negro would betray
him, and determined to kill him. He gave him
the choice of hanging himself or being hanged.
The negro chose the former. and while pre-
tending TO search for suitable place made a
break for liberty. Smith fred and the negro
fell Smith left, believing him dead. The
negro lived, however. to tell the tale, and his
dying statement is the principal evidence.
