ASIA'S MUSK DEER,

In a Small Sac in It's Body 1t Carries a
Most Powerful Perfume.
Most people take it for granted that
because musk is sold in what is called a
pod, therefore it is a vegetable product.
But the truth is that it is entirely an
animal product, being a substance found
in a two or three-inch sac in the body OF
the little musk deer of Asia. This sac,
when tied up and dried, goes by the
name of a pod emong the hunters who
bring it into market.
Probably there are few things subject
to such adulteration, as one part of pure
musk will scent thousands of parts OF
some other powder mingled with it, and
as the pods sell for from SIS to $50
apiece the adulteration has its profits

THE LEcoNEY MURDER TRIAL
The Defence Will Try to Provo LinEs
Guilty OF the Crime.

Guilty OF the Crime.
CAMDEN, N. j., Feb. lathe State
closed its case, with the testimony oil
DIR. Formal, against Chalkley Leconey,
charged with the murder of his, niece.
AS usual the court house was crowded
to Its utmost capacity, and to-day
again the prisoner, calm and unmoved,
but keenly alive to all that was goin e
on. sat with the father and mother Of
the murdered girl on either side of him.
Lingo and Garrett Murray occupied
seats in the body of the court.
Counsel Joseph Gaskill's opening to
the jury for the defence commanded
much attention. His outline of the de-
fence was stated with much force and
eloquence, and presented an array of
facts to be proved which was of much
interest and concern to every one.
Lawyer Gaskill stated that they would
prove that Annie Leconey was seen
alive outside tho house after the de-
PENDANT and Garrett Murray went down
into the citron field.
They would impeach the testimony
OF Garrett Murray and William SIN 18th,
the two principal witnesses for the
State, and prove that the bloody clothes
had not been used by the prisoner, and
would show strong grounds for the be-
lief that Francis Lingo, the colored
laborer first arrested, is the murderer
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Leconey, wife
OF VIM. Leconey, a brother of the pris-
oner, was placed on the stand. She
told of her visit to the house and of
Chalkley's grief. She said that Gar
rett Murray told her the last place he
saw Miss Annie alive was when she
was on the doorstep.

OIL PRODUCERS ORGANIZE.

Standard Oil Company.

A Big Movement on Foot Against the
Standard Oil Company.
P1TTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 12.-There is
every indication now that the Standard
Oil Company will have a rival that can.
not be suppressed.
A meeting was quietly held in this
city of oil producers who are opposed
to the Standard and plans were perfect
ed for buying up all the heaviest pro,
ducers and starting independent re,
fineries. Among the gentlemen present
were II: l.. Taylor. of Buffalo. pres.
ldent OF the Union Oil Company; L. H.
Smith, of the Anchor Oil Company G.
i. Braden, superintendent of the
National Oil Company and w. A. Earse-
man. of Oil City.
The scheme which was considered is to
oppose the Standard, and it embraces
some OF the largest capitalists in the
country. The big producers will be
taken in and given an interest, and will
help to make the venture success.
They will then be independent of the
Standard, and will not be in constant
dread of break in the market.
