 HARTFORD, Aug. 15.-The Hartford police conrt was in session to-day with Judge Barbour on the bench and Reporter Thayer occupying his usual seat among the spectators.

It is said that he does not intend to push the case, as the law leaves it within his discretion whether he will prosecute or not. MT. Thsyer will have to get redress in some other way. MT.

 Drs. Shelton and Barry Had a Delicate
 Operation to Perform.
 BIRMINGHAM, Aug. 15.-A difficult oper ation was performed by Drs. Shelton and Barry last night They extracted an open safety pin from the throat of Carrie Mech tersheimer, the six-months-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. George Mechtersheimer of Cemetery avenue. The mother of the in- fant had occasion to reach for an article In the cradle in which the baby was lying, and while so doing safety pin fell from her dress into the child's open mouth. AS the mother went to turn from the cradle the infant screamed as though chok- ing, and turning around she suspected that something was wrong and immidiately summoned Dr. R. J. Barry, who arrived about twenty minutes after the accident. After few moments investigation he To- cated the article we'll down in the baby's throat. He called Dr. G. A. Shelton in consultation and they finally succeeded in removing the pin after difficult task. The child Is doing nicely and no serious | results are anticipated from the operation. WAS ANNA ORR MURDEREDa Belief That She Met Tramps in the Woods Gaining Ground BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 1.-Two weeks ego 1 last Sunday night, Anna Orr, IF years old, and pretty, jumped from the parlor window of her home only partly dressed, and ran through a meadow Into a lane which borders upon dense swamp. All night her relatives looked for her, and
 each day and night since then organized searching parties have searched the swamps and woods. Not a single clue has been l found.
 ! There are three theories upon which the
 searchers are now working: That Anna l Orr has wandered many miles west, where
 she is safe with farmers who are ignorant
 of her history; that she has committed
 suicide by drowning. or that she has met
 with foul play in the woods. The suicide
 theory is generally disbelieved, and as the
 days pass the murder theory grows strong
 CT. The woods and swamps are frequented
 by tramps.
 Anna Orr was only half dressed when
 she fled just before midnight, and she may
 have met some of these tramps. To hide
 their crime 1t is possible that they Killed
 her and concealed her body in some ee- | cluded spot where 1t may lie for weeks

suited in a victory for Woford by
a score of 18 to 4. The Furman
boys took it good naturedly, fiat
tering themselves with the thought
that the contest at night surely
meaut an easy walk-over for them.
The debate took place at the Opera
House, where a large audience
greeted this innovation in college
circles with their presence.
For two hours the question
whether or not THE tendency of

credit to both sides. The judges,

the debate and after few minutes
returned with the announcement
that it had been decided by a vote
of four to one in favor of negative
tive-this being the side repre-
scented by Wofford's men.

robbed every year: ''It is stated
that fully so per cent. of the
grader of cotton now recognized
are merely pretensive and fraud
OH the producer for the benefit of
the buyer, and move is on foot
relative to changing the present
system. Does anybody believe
that there is any expert in the
world that is able to distinguish
cloth manufactured from ordinary
cotton from that made from strict
middling? Yet there is differ
ence of nearly two cents a pound
between the two grades. A differ
ence of one-te2th of .ceGt a

said, would represent over $4,5OO,-
