About forty feet of the trestle near Chew's
siding, on the n. q w. R. R, were burned
out Saturday afternoon, and trains delayed
until nearly 8 o'clock Sunday morning.
Neighbors FASTENED to the scene, and a
sOuthbound freight was signaled by an en-
ployee of Mr.. Thomas Frazier just in time
to be stopped at a safe distance from the
fire otherwise it would probably have gone
down the heavy grade at usual speed and
dashed into the burning trestle before it
could have been checked. In this event the
catastrophe would probably have been very
great. as we are informed there was a car

Colonel McGilvrary Wins Fair Young
Bride by Unusual Tactics.

st. Louis, Nov. 22.-Colonel Luther
McGilvray, one of the oldest and best
known iron merchants In st. Louis, the
father of nine grown children. was mar
ried this evening to Miss Clara Fles-
ebert, the young and pretty assistant
secretary of the Missouri State Sunday
School Association.
Miss Flescherts Office Is just across
the hall from that Of Colonel McGil-
vray In the Laclede Buliding, and there
she writes her reports on the type
writer. One day the colonel came in
and asked her II she would write a let
ter for him. '''She would be more than
pleased" and 80 she was, when the old
gentleman hesitatingly confided to her
that he wanted to dictate a proposal Of
marriage to a young woman. That
would be great fun.
Miss Clara was just the least bit
warm as she sat down to write. She
didn't know the proposal was for her,
Now put yourself in my sweetheart's
place and write just what you would
like an old lover like myself to say to
YOU" So between the coloners apt
suggestion and Miss Clara's discrimin-
ating Judgment the proposal was drawn
up. OF course there was blank space
at the top where the colonel was to
write in the fair ones name.
The next day she received the pro-
posal with her name filled in. She OBJ
jected to the strategy. and said Nay"
Then the gallant colonel sat down and
wrote u proposal with pen and ink,
which Miss Clara liked better. and after
waiting several months, accepted. The
colonel is in some doubts as to how his
five grown daughters will receive his

Philadelphia. Nov. e2.-The sessions
OF the state senate committee. which rs

Citizens Municipal association which

The most interesting witness was

named on the pay roll as receiving 81
per day, but the highest pay he ever
received, he stated, was 80 per day. The
witness declared that when he receiptetl
for his wages the amount in the war;

the same is true of grated pineapple
and In this case, the tin can holding the
pineapple was often found to be badly
corroded; ginger was found adulterated
with ash, rice hulls, rice flour and cay

from commercial glucose thinned with
about 20 per cent. of water; milk was

Referring to the oleo question, Major
Wells says: This Is q great dairy
state, 1t is estimated that in Pennsylva-
MIA 100.000.0G0 pounds are used per an
mum. Now, If oleo becomes a legiti
mate article of sale, the dairymen will
be almost impoverished. The sale of

Der u Grant Keller. of Easton. pleaded
guilty In the Warren county court here
of stealing and Judge Norcross sem
fenced him to two years In state prison
at hard labor Keller. learning that the
sheriff had arranged to take him to
Trenton to-day, made an effort to break
jail last night. He was again brought
before the court this morning and his
sentence was increasd to five years.
This so incensed Keller that he became
violent and with clenched fist made a
move toward the judge, calling him a
vile name. Keller was hastily removed
by the sheriff, and at p. m. was taken
to the depot, handcufYed to Edward
Werts, colored, who was also sentenced
to states prison for two years for high
way robbery.
Judge Norcross was also at the sta
ton intending to take the same train.
AS he was stepping on the car Keller, In
the custody of the sheriff, was brought
up behind. Keller still In a rage made
a desperate break. He kicked the judge
and at the same tir,c by a superhuman
effort attempted to force him under the
wheels of the starting train. The sheriff
and passengers succeeded In rescuing
the judge, who ordered the desperate

now be given twenty years. Keller was

Harrisburg, Pa. Nov. 22.-Dairy and
Food Commissioner Wells has just Is
sued a pamphlet in which he discusses
at length the adulteratiOn Of food. The
production of artificial colors Is partic-
ularly common in CONNECTIONS. Indl-
go, itumeric, annatto. lOgwoOd and
cochineal are used In great quantities,
and are probably not harmful; arsenic,
copper and leads are very deleterious.
but are now used as much as I'm former
times, before sanitary officials made
such persistent attacks upon them.
Some confectioners use colors to con-
ceal the nature or quality of the goods.
Milk and milk products are often
colored. Butter and cheese as we'll as
milk are very frequently doctored.
Many dairymen, to avoid the expense
of ice, put a borax preservative In their
milk to keep 1t.
Whatever prevents putrflcation must
to some extent delay digestion, and
therefore the sale of many articles un-
der proprietary names are really un-
wholesome because of the addition of
preservative elements Injurious to di-
gestion.
Major Wells also says, besides the
question of anti-septics and coloring
matter, authorizations of deceptive
nature for profit to the manufacturer
ad dealer are very common. For in
stance so-called fruit jams often con-
tain no fruit or sugar whatever; they
are made from glucose. are favored

Good WORD FOR THE turks
Mr.. Offley States That Armenians
Are Often to Blame.
ALWAYS A TRAITOR IN CAMP
The American Who Has Spent the
Greater Part OF Ills Life in smyrna
Has Found the Turk an
Amiaric Individual.

3 Boston. Nov. 22.-"The Turks are not
the cause of the Armenian troubles,
was the statement made by David Of
fey this afternoon to reporter.
Mr.. Offiey Is an American who has
spent all his life In the domain of the
Sultan. His headquarters are in
Smyrna, Turkey in Asia. where he Is
engaged in the fruit business. He is
in Boston now on business.
Mr.. Ofley attributes the troubles to
the ambitions of the Armenians in as
piring to Independence. Whenever a
body of them has organized for effec-
tive work, he says, their plans have
always been disclosed by some traitor
among their own number. A bribe
from the Turkish government or the
promise of some official position has al
ways been sufficient to huy some Ar
menian.
Then the Turks proceeded to sup
press the treason that has been nur-
tured by the Armenian subjects.
Many of the massacres have been
committed by Kurds, who are roaming
robbers. The murders are committed
not on account of the hatred of the
Christians. but rather for love of
pillage and booty.
Armcnians Trcachcrous.
Mr.. Offley says there is q vein of
treachery In most Armeniaps. yet there
are cxceptions to the rule, and he
knows of some Armenian firms in
Smyrna that he would place as high
If not higher than the English firms
He says the missionaries do an i'm
mense amount Of good, and are a splen-
did body Of people.
Mr.. Ohley added: "From the knOwl-
edge ! have of the Turks. would say
they are among the most hospitable
and kind people l ever came across
during my travels In Asia Minor, where
l have lived for long time. That
does not agree, / know, with the ma
jority of the reports about them, but
l speak as I found them. l will say
that, in my humble opinion, the Turks
are not entirely the cause of the
trouble"
