ASHLAND, Wisconsin, Special Telegram,
--Highwayman Reimund Holzhay, the
terror Of railway passengers and stage coach
travellers, has again been detected in a dar-
ing and bloodthirsty attempt to escape from
the Gogebic county jail at Bessemer, Three
or four DAYS ago, when two fine steel saws
were found in the cage Of the robber, he
told Sheriff Foley that he would not be in
the Jail ten days Yesterday o prisoner con-
ined in the same cell with HoizhaY notified
the sheriff OF a deyilIsh!y ingenious plot con-
ceiyed by his lnurderOus cellmste to obtain
freedom for every prisoner in the jail. John
Ryan, the jailer, was to have been killed
when he appeared at the aperture through
which meals are passed to the prisonere
Holzhay had detached q heavy plank from
the table in the cell, with which he would
have knocked Ryan into insenaibility, after
wards crawling through the opening in the
cage and completing the job OF numbering
The Tailor with a knife he had secured. That
the plan would have been successful there ts
scarcely any doubt. Holiday was locked ID:
a close cell when the plot was discovered
and \ heavy iron ball attached TO his ankles.
He broke the chain and smashed everything
in the cell. He refused to give up the knife
and deties the officers. Astrong guard has
been placed upon him.

The coal barons of Pennsylvania
are endeavoring to throw people of

capitalists contemplate the forma-

will become one of the luxuries of the

An eastern paper saysthat farmers
and others whose lands are mort
gagged ought not to look upon their
mortgages as indicating their power
ty, but rather as showing their good
credit and the hope they have OF
soon owning their property free OF
debt. There is sense in that, particu-
larry since the Indebtedness largely
represents money expended in inn
provements and stock for the farms
which increase their productive ca
pacity.

COLLAPSE OF A R

Heavy Shipments OF American Cotton
Cause q Freak in Prices.
LIVERPOOL. Special.-The cotton corner
has collapsed on q report that Mr.. Steen-
strand, the manipulation of the corner, WAS
selling. The new crop is pouring in rapidly,
and this will lessen Mr.. Steenstrand's oppor-
tunities for disposing Of his stock. It Is the
general opinion that the ring Is smashed.
The total amount rendered in settlement Of
contracts to deliver Ia 48,4O0 bales Mr.,
Steenstrand does not conceal his surprise
and disappointment ut the failure Of the
corner. He says ii was the large number Of
bulls that rode upon his back that caused the
collapse. He had not anticipated that 30
many would buy cotton In the hope that
there would be q rise in prices that would en-
able them to sell at a profit. The quantity
Of cetton held by bulls until the last
movem emit was much larger Than he ex-
pected. They must have lost heavily, he
said, but he was unable to give an idea Of
their losses. He said he believed one result
Of the collapse would be the abolition Of
short time mills. It is reported that the COR
ner operators will ship the bulk Of their cot
ton to the continent The rumor, however.
is not believed, as the stocks in Europe are

sIGNIFIp4NCE Of THE COLLAPSE 5
MANCHESTER, SpeciaL-The excitement
on the cotton exchange here was much less
than at Liverpool, though the market was
very animated. No opinion can be definitely
formed al to the full significance OF the col
lapse of thec cotton corner until the situation
Is better known, but confidence is expressed
that it will be impossible to make q new cor
ner for October. It is not expected, how
ever, that cotton will become really CHEAP.
The prospect for q fortnight's stoppage Of
the mills has diminished. IL is reported that
Mr.. Steenstrand's gain through the corner
will not exceed G5O, O00. he expected to
make e25O,OOO. He has been buying since
December. when he purchased at B 32-64d.
1t is evident that at the last momen he
feared concerted action by the brokers and
spinners and tried to unload his stock. 80

A couple of reliable astronomers,
Profs. Hough and Burnham of Dear
born Observatory, have been making
some careful micrometrical measure
ments of the planet Sirius and his
moon. This planet Is the brightest in
the whole ornament, and Its distance
from the earth is estimated to be 1885,
600 times g eater than the distance Of the
sun, or about 1913, IS .,000, 500. 900 miles.
Or. to measure its distance in another
way, its light, travelling at the rate Of
Is 1000 miles per second, would be
more than twenty-one years in reaching
the earth. In other words still, the
astronomer who turns hi, telescope
now on that star sees it as it was mo Q
than a score Of years ago. The dimei.
sions Of the star must DO enormous,
ever as compared with our sun, for it ia
quite twice the b~rilliancy Of any of its
companions, while our sun at that dis
lance would probably appear like a star
Of the fourth magnitude.
