the raise the total valation in the State
was s26, 739, $50. It now stands $780,

We have only to add that the raise in

Under our system values have been
strained here for years, and our rate
(s3 40) is also high. There is hardly .

QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 13.-The Guion
Line steamer Arizona, Captain Brooks,
from New York September 9th for
Liverpool, arrived here to-day in bat
tered condition, Certain passengers re
port that at an early hour on Sunday,
September 9th, while the vessel was in
fog, but steaming rapidly, an un-
known vessel, believed to be a large
coasting schooner, struck, stem on, the
Arizona's port quarter. The passengers,
who were in bed at the time of the acct
dent, were awakened by the shock and
noise of the collision, and all rushed
on deck. 1t was seen that 80 feet of
rails and lifeboat had been smashed;
that the deck was damaged and that
several plates had been bent. Owing to
these ominous evidences of collision,
il was at first believed that the conse.
quences of the accident were more
serious than proved to be the case. The
passengers were much alarmed and life
belts were prepared. but the fears of all
were soon allayed. The Arizona for a
long time searched in vain for the I'M
fortunate sailing vessel. A part of her
bowsprit was left on the Arizona's deck.
From wreckage seen it is feared she
foundered.
One passenger makes the the follow
ing statement: "After passing Sandy
Hook we entered a haze, which later be.
came dense fog. The fog horn was
kept blowing. About II p. m. a loud re-
port like the bursting of boiler started
the passengers, who rushed on deck.

For Their Dealings With f8ardslcy--Held
In $4,000 bail - state Officers and
Bank Presidents Are Not Yet Amen
abie--Hardsley's Self Respect Wouldn't
Permit Him to Testify.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-Judges
Fell and Gordon, sitting rs committing
magistrates in the criminal court to-day,
heard the evidence in the possession Of
District Attorney Graham against the
banking and brokerage firm of Robert
Glendenning & Co., on the question of
their criminal liability with ex-City
Treasurer John Bardsley In the unlaw-
full conversion of the public money.
AT the conclusion Of the presentation
of the evidence the court decided that
it was sufficient and warrants for the
arrest of Robert Glendenning and
George II. HUM, comprising the firm,
were at once Issued and bail for their
appearance at court was fixed at $40, 600
Mr.. Glendenning and Mr.. HUM, who
were present, at once entered bail.
Owing to the refusal of John Bard
sley to testify the district attorney was
compelled, for the present, to abandon
his case against Auditor-gencra Nc
Camant and State Cashier LIVELY.
The court further decided that the
evidence possessed by the district attor-
ney was not sufficient on the charge OF
conspiracy TO warrant the arrest of tho
presidents of the different national
banks that paid Bardsley interest on
his deposits. The district attorney was
advised to abandon the case against
them.
In opening the proceedings, District
attorney Graham stated that he had
taken the present course because he
wished to have judicial opinion upon
the evidence possessed by him, and be-
cause by coming before the court sitting
as committing magistrate he could
bring John Bardsley into court as wit
ness on writ of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Graham said that he had sub
penaed Auditor General McCament,
state Cashier LIVELY, the presidents of
| the Farmers and Mechanics, the Third
and the Seventh National Banks, and the
| firm of Glendenning & Co. All were
| present In court with the exception of
Mr., Livezey, who is at present without
the Jurisdiction of the court.
Mr.. Graham said that he would first
| present the evidence against Auditor
| SNitihi anu NdSnltI Lively.
The first witness called was John
Bardsley, ex-city treasurer. Bardsley
Is now serving q sentence of 10 years in
the Eastern Penitentary and was
brought from that institution for the
purpose of testifying
When Bardsley took the stand he re-
fused 10 be sworn or TO answer any
questions.
He stated that his self-rcspect would
not allow him to do either, as he had
been maligned and the public made to
believe that his word was valueless.
Finally Bardsley consented to be
sworn, but to every question but one OF
the district attorneys he declined to
make any reply.
The one question he answered was
that no inducements had been offered
him by any one to maintain silence.

KENr's PEACH CROP.
La ger Than Estimated - Complaints
Against Railroad,

CHEsTERTowN, Sept 1.-the peach
crop Of Kent county for this saeson has
been estimated at three millions Of
baskets, or one-fourth greater than was
estimated before the opening Of the
season.
An Edesville grower states that he
left unpicked in his orchard 10000
baskets of fruit, and such reports are
numerous. Thousands of trees will be
dug up this fall and next winter.
A meeting of the Kent and Queen
Anne's counties peach growers is called
for tomorrow. The growers along the
line Of the Baltimore & Delaware bay
railroad arc indignant at the treatment
ment they have received at the manage
ment of the road, entalling upon ship
pers loss Of thousands of dollars. Tie
difficulty, it is stated, has been adisposi-
ton on the part of the Kent county road
to try to cut off, if possible, the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and throw everything
into the hands of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey. The New Jersey road
was unable to meet the enormous de-
mands of Kent's great peach crop, and
in consequence the fruit was either
rushed into glutted points or delayed,
which, in some cases, rendered it value
less.

Suddenly Leaves His Home.

A special dispatch from Denton, Nd,
in the Philadelphia Times of Tuesday
was as follows:
Citizens of Greensborough are mystified
at the disappearance of Thomas b. Curry,
late sheriff of Caroline county. lie went
to Philadelphia a few days ago, ostensibly
to sell lot of live stock. While there he
conveyed all his property, real and per-
sonal, to Henry G. Conrad, well-known
Wilmington lawyer, and George NJ. Rus
sum, Denton attorney, in trust for the
benefit of creditors. That was the last
seen of him. His brother-in-law, who
was in town to-day, SAID the missing mans
family, consisting Of Mrs. Curry and sew
eral grown children, know nothing of his
whereabouts.
Henry G. Conrad was seen by a
reporter of THE GAZETTE on Tuesday.
He said he had known Curry for years,
and had numerous business transactions
with him. About three weeks ago
Curry asked him to become his trustee,
so as to settle his business affairs, which
were somewhat involved, and Mr.. Con-
rad consented upon the condition that a
Maryland attorney be joined with him
in the trusteeship. Mr.. Russum was,
thereupon, selected. Mr.. Conrad said
that Curry complained of his family
relations being SO unpleasant that he
would have to leave home, but the ma.
turc of his troubles he did not divulge to
his counsel, and neither of them have
the slightest idea of his present where.

Popularity, so Say the Internal Revenue
Figures.
Philadelphia Recoid Special.
WARRINGTON, Sept. 1.-the footing up
in the internal revenue bureau has gone so
far as to show that the figures in regard to
this years product Of oleomargarine are
going to surprise the dairymen throughout
the country and others interested in the
manufacture of artificial butter Last
year the receipts from the tax on oleomar-
garine were 1886, 29l as against 1904, 247 for
the preceding year, decrease of $107, 900.
This year there will be shown an increase
fully 40 per cent.
The theory held by the officers of the
bureau is that oleomargarine is steadily
winning its way in public favor as an
article Of commerce put upon the market
simply for what il is.
They. believe that people generally are
beginning TO recognize ii as a cheap and
healthful substitute for butter. II is
noticeable from the returns that more
oleomargarine is sold in mining regions
distant from the markets than anywhere
else. This is because it keeps and does
not become rancid as time goes by. Here
tofore the output of oleomargarine
has depended in very great measure
upon the grass crops. When those crops
were good, and the cows consequently gave
milk freely, the government receipts on
account of the tax upon oleomargarine
amounted to almost nothing. When the
grass did not grow wellsthen there came a
demand tor oleomargarine. The unprece-
dented figures showing this years increase
from the tax on oleomargarine would in
duce the belief that it has come to stay,

Joseph Juvenal Creates Panic with

Big Knife--His Wife Buried But Yes
tcrday.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Sept, 15.-Joseph
Juvenal, the Armourdale man whose
fate seems TO be pursuing, buried his
poisoned wife yesterday and then in
court tried to commit murder.
The case was that Of Miss Pfaffman,
charged with blowing up Juvenal's
house with dynamite, August 9th. 1t
was continued. There was not room in
the justice Office for the crowd, and an
enterprlsing man charged an admission
fee to a larger hall where the court
moved to accommodate the public.
The owner of the hall feared some
trouble in the big factional crowd and
disarmed the spectators as they entered.
The harvest was 200 pistols. Juvenal
refused to be disarmed and drawing a
stiletto from his bosom rushed at John
Hale, one of the most prominent law
yers of the city. The blade caught in
the lawyers coat and at that moment a
reporter grasped Juvenal's hand. The
desperate man then seized a poker and
belabored the reporter.
No one is seriously hurt, but Juvenal
is in Jail. The funeral of his murdered
wife was attended by 5000 people.
Other members of the family and
friends are sick. Wholesale arrests are
threatened

beyond control. The fire was seen first
to burst from the windows on the second
floor, occupied by Gibbs tailoring estab-
lishment. There were many people in
the building, and some of them had to
slide down the fire escapes for life
through the dense smoke. It is believed
that all escaped.
From the first 1t was seen that nothing

both floors, and as the flames shot up
through the air shaft the oil soaked
flooring under the presses became ignited
and blazed up like so much finder.
At few minutes after 10 o'clock the
walls of three upper floors of the build
ing came crashing into the streets, caus-
ing alarm all around. There was con-
siderable scarcity of water at the COM

fire was under control. AT 1926 the

A runaway locomotive under full head
of steam was the novel spectacle presented
on the Pomeroy q Newark railroad Mon
day morning. The engine covered a

length without a soul oil board and with
out doing any serious damage.
The runaway engine began its venture
some flight at Pomeroy, Pa, and con-
tinued the runaway almost to Newark,
where her supply Of steam gave out and
when captured by trackmen at work on
the railway.
The engine was taking water at Pomeroy
and both engineer and fireman were aboard
before the runaway began. Some distance
behind the engine the crew of the train
were allowing some heavily loaded cars to
run down toward the engine by gravity.
they failed TO slacken in speed and the
engineer and fireman anticipating col
lision jumped from the locomotive.
The cars struck the engine with crash
and the conclusion made such a jar that
the, throttle of the engine blew wide open
and of she started without engineer or
| fireman. Her speed increased with every
revolution Of the huge drive wheels.
People who saw the runaway stood
speechless at the thrilling sight, while
many had narrow escapes from death at
the hands of the. locomotive There was
no shrieking of the whistle or changing of
the bell to announce her coming and rs
crossings and highways were passed her
avoidance from running over people was
marvellous.
Along the railroad above Landenburg,
Pa, gang of workmen narrowly escaped
the wheels of the feet steed of iron. They
were at work just around a sharp curve
and when the engine drew up putting and

time to get out of the way. The engine
