WHY THE ADVANCE {:
Northern Pacific Stock Goes
Upward.

New YORK. Sept 10.-The advance in
Northern Pacific preferred was said by 6rok-
ers active i'll the stock to be based on some
expected action by the directors at an extra
meeting held to-day. No action however,
was taken at the meeting that could be con,
strued into reason for the advance the only
business acted upon being the compromise
of several disputes about lands, the amount
involved being less than 100000 There are
still about Ss5O.0O0 due TO the company on ac-
count of the Minnesota land sales So far
about 1900 shares of preferred stock has
been bought out of the S69O. 600 already re-
ceived from the commissioner There has

ton of the past years surplus to the bonds
held to secure the dividends on the preferred
stock. 1t is understood that this surplus.
with part of last years surplus, will be added
TO the bond-holdings later on. The bonds so
far set aside, amounting TO S30O0.00O, have

A McKeesport Printer Takes Enough Nor

MoKEEsPoRr, Oct. 9.-[Specidl.l-A sensa-
tion was created here to-day by the strange
and sudden death of George Hurley from
Uuiontown. His death occurred at o'clock
this afternoon, and it was at first thought it
had been brought about by drinking to
excess. He came here three weeks ago and
secured work on the Herald Last night he
declared he had wound up his several days
drinking bout and took a sleep in the press
room of the Herald office. This morning it
was noticed he slept heavily, and at noon q
physician was called. Before anything
could be done he had breathed his last
physicians giving 1t as their opinion he had
taken an overdose of morphine.
An investigation revealed that last night
while standing alta bar he was met by James
T. Wells. Wells was suffering greatly, and
took out powder, intending to take IA por-
tion of it. Hurley asked him what it was,
and Wells responded, morphine" With
out q word Hurley grasped the powder, when
Wells called out to him not to touch the
stuff, as there was enough of it there to kill
q half dozen men. Before he could be pre-
vented, however, Hurley swallowed the
morphine and soon after walked away, no
one appearing to pay any attention to him
after taking the poison. Alderman Dart be-
gan the inquest to-day, and after hearing
Wells testimony continued it until to-mor-
row. Wells said that Hurley assured him he
was used to the drug. Wells thought Hur-
lev imagined he could stand it, but, coupled
with his weakened condition, owing to drink.

VIII Tell More Later.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 9.-Mr. Won Der Abe to-day
was asked what truth there was in the re-
port that some League magnates were to
come over to the Association. He replied
that he knew nothing of it, but he said that
there were people in Brooklyn who wanted
an American Association franchise and he
thought that with % cent rate of admis-
sion and Sunday games at Ridgewood. an
Association club would knock out the
League team there. He was not prepared,
however, to say much about the Associa-
tion's intentions at present, but could tell
more later in the month. 1t was Safe to say,
however. that the Association would put a
team in Brooklyn. 1t is known that q special
meeting of the American Association is to
be held in Chicago on the 22d, and at the
meeting next years circuit will probs bly, be
considered. Mr.. Won Der Abe probably had
this meeting in mind when he said he could
tell more later in the month.

West Virginia's Direct Tax.

now turns out that $27, 1928 of West Virginia
direct tax money, paid over in pursuance of
the act of last Congress on the supposition
that it was due to citizens of Jefferson and
Berkely counties and not to the State at
large. will go into the State Treasury after
all. 1t really stands on the same footing as
the $500 900 or of State direct tax money
which the Government refuses to pay this
State until there is some settlement of ante
bellum claims held by the United States
against the old State of Virginia. An ex-
haustive search Of the records shows that
the citizens of Jefferson and Berkely were
reimbursed by an act of the Legislature
passed in 1851 supplemented by the joint
resolution of 1869.

A NEWLY MADE ARTIFICIAL CAVE
Found BY Boys in a Large Field Remote
From Human HabitatIon.

NEW CASTLE, Oct. 9-[SpeciaL l-Some boys
playing in a field on the farm of j. j. Mars,
near New Bedford have made a strange dis
covery. While out hunting they came upon
an artificial cave, about seven by eight feet,
and deep enough for man to stand in. The
fresh earth showed that the cave is ofrecent
origin. Some old timbers had been placed
over the cave and the dirt thrown over it
again, then covered with sod, brush and
leaves, and a small opening was left.
Who made it. or for what it was designed,
is only a conjecture, but it is doubtless the
work of some fugitive from justice who has
been or who is in hiding. The finders fool
ishly disturbed the cave, so that the pros
pect of discovering the secret of the builder
is scarce. The field where the cave was
built or dug is at least three quarters of q
mile from any house.
