SCARCITY or BEEF.


Local markets on Saturday were noted
for their scarcity of beef. Usually six car
loads Of western beef are brought here
weekly. but only three carloads were
shipped last week.
Owing to the scarcity the price of beef
Saturday advanced three cents per pound
and through sympathy there was CORE
spending rise in the prices of other meats.
Meat dealers who stand in the street
markets were the most seriously affected.
They could get no meat at all and in
consequence their stands were unoccupied.
A few dealers who grasped the situation
earlier went to their patrons, announced
that there would be an advance in prices,
solicited orders and went yesterday to
Philadelphia. where they managed after
much trouble to get enough meat TO fill
their orders.
Talking on the subject on Saturday a
butcher said the scarcity has been created
by the extremely low prices which have
been prevailing. Harvest time is coming
on, he said, and for the prices they have
been getting farmers will not neglect their
crops to ship their cattle. Another butcher
said it is unusual for the price OF meat to
advance at this time of the year and en-
pressed the opinion that Armour ana other
extensive meat dealers are endeavoring to
effect a corner in beef.

cOrOher's inquest, friday.
Coroner AShbridgc of Philadelphia on
Friday held an inquest in the case of Will
liam II. Brown, aged 20 years, of Dover,
Del, who died in the Pennsy lvana Hospi-
tai, ON June LIST, from gunshot wounds
received in Dover, ON May 18th. DIR. Miller
of the hospital, testified that Brown was
admitted on May Both and died the follow
ing day. He waA suffering from gllnshot
wounds which DR.. Miller said must have
been inflicted by person facing him and
standing at short distance.
The mans ante-mortem statement was
read, in which he said that on May Doth,
at or near Middle Creek Landing, Della
ware, he was shot by woman named
Ida Hoover, for the given reason that she
thought lie was attempting to get in the
house. In the statement Brown said he
had been in the house 70 minutes before
the shooting and that when he was shot
he was standing about 20 feet from the
woman.
COroner's Physician Sidebotham testified
that he had made post-mortem examina-
ton Of the body and found altogether 50
shot in the abdOm eli, chest, arm and fore
arm. Death, he said, was due to peritonitis,
directly due to the gunshut wound.
Coroner Ashbridge explained to the Jury
that Ida Hoover is in the custody of the
Kent county, Del, authorities and that the
testimony will be forwarded for use in the
prosecution.
The jury rendered verdict of death
from gunshot wounds received at the
hands Of Ida Hoover.

ton, by cutting her throat.
The weapon used was an old razor, and
the wound inflicted extends half way
around the neck and is clean cut. The
woman's jugular vein was severed. She
was All invalid, and dependency is sup
posed TO have prompted her to commit the
deed.
When Mr.. Atkinson started to work his
wife said she felt better and was in good
spirits. She was u consimptive and had
been i'll 10 or 10 years. She ate her break
fast about $50 O'Clock and after that
started to wash the dishes.
Her daughter, the only child, went to
the front door and on her return missed
her mother, Miss Atkinson concluded
that her parent had called on neigh
Dor aIAl did not search further
until about II o'clock, when she
became alarmed and went upstairs to
see whether her mother was there. When
found her mother stretched on the floor,
lying in pool of blood, with the razor
clntched in her hand Mrs, Atkinson had
been dead for some time, for she then was
cold.
Mrs. Atkinsons maiden name was
Elliott, and she was native of Queen
Anne's county, Md. She and her husband
moved to this city about eight years ago.
Her mother was also cunsumptive, aud
died after an illness of about ten years.
Mrs. Atkinson was AS years old. She fire.
quently told her husband She thought he
would be better off without her and when
ever she talked in that manner he told her
to cease and said she must be crazy.
Coroner sparks inquired into the case
but decided to not hold an inquest.
