JAMAICA, L l., July 29.-Colonel Al
hed NJ. Wood, two terms mayor of Brook
Ign and commander of the Fourteenth
regiment when that regiment went to the
front before the battle of Bull Run, died
yesterday at his home in the village Of
Queens. In 1860 he was elected president
of the board of aldermen on the Demo
cratic ticket, but resigned that position to
accompany his regiment to the front.
Governor Morgan, however, refused to
allow him to leave the state, but on the
presentation of the case to President Lin
coin the latter gave the necessary orders.
AT the first battle of Bull Run he was
made prisoner by the Confederates. He
suffered for a long time in Libby prison,
but was finally exchanged. In 1873 Col
onel Wood was appointed United States
consul at Castellamare, Italy, which posi-
ton he held for sixteen years.

Three Boys Killed by a Train.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-John Gardner,
a colored man. made a horrible find while
walking ON the tracks of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad near Riverdale Park, a SUI
burb of this city. Lying in the ditch, in
one heap, were the mangled bodies of
three boys, ranging in age from 10 to 10.
They had evidently been run down by a
train. The bodies were identified as those
of j. Waters Blundon, son of ]. U. Blum
don, prominent contractor Inc real es-
tate broker of this city; Guy Brown, son
of w. r. Brown, of No. 1925 H street, and
Charles Lynch, of Riverdale. The bodies

almost beyond recognition.

CHICAGO, July 20.-Jacob Schaefer may
not be a factor in the great international
billiard tournament which the manufact-
urers seek to arrange between the experts
of the world, The injury to the famous
players arm on Saturday, when he vas
thrown from a car by a street railroad
conductor, is more serious than at first
supposed, and it is now feared that his
billiard career is ended. Three physicians
examined the broken arm yesterday, and
the consultation resulted in an operation.
The fracture is within an inch of the old
break Of several years ago.

HAVANA, July 29.-Accounts of the fight

killed., which have been published hither-
to, were under censorship and largely i'm
aginary. No official account has yet been
received from Captain General Campos.
The government admits that three officers
and seventy men were killed. The gen.
eral impression here is that Captain GEN
eral Campos met with a distinct reverse.
All the mules and horses were killed by
his order, so hat he lost his baggage train.
Campos himself arrived at Bayamo on

NBusiness Methods.n

Cuisines Methods"
KANSAS CITY, July ~29.-Thomas Levi
Tuck, who at one time was employed by
H. H. Holmes in his Chicago castle" is
living~in Kansas City and employed in a
Kansas City dry goods store. Speaking of
his acquaintance with the noted criminal
Tuck said he first got acquainted with
Holmes in 1890. He was looking for en-
ployment, and Holmes had a clerkship
open in his drug store, which Tuck Sc
cured.
Continuing Tuck said; II did not see
Holmes for more than q minute or so at a
time. He hired me and said he had to be
off at once for Toronto, and with that he
went away and it was several weeks be-
fore he got back.
when he did get back I soon found he
was a swindler. He called it trading
Why, his place was full of things-soda
fountains, household goods, all sorts of
stutf-and then besides, he had several
drug stores, and, l believe, a lumber
yard. He had an agreement with a cigar
house, a perfectly reputable concern, too,
1 believe, by which he was to get SO much
81 a thousand, I believe-on all cigars
he could sell. He used this agreement to
film fam men who wanted to sell their
DuSl16sS OF unyUlluB SlSS Iney uuu'
II don't know just how he worked it,
but he did give notes on cigars. He got
me to give him mine now and then to
help out. By the time he realized how
hard it was to do this his store, soda foun-
tain or whatever it was, was juggled
around so that it was impossible to follow
the changes, That was where my notes
and other fellows notes came in. Things
ran on this way for about six months,
when Holmes wanted to store some stuff
at my house, to which l objected, and
Holmes discharged me. After 1 left
Holmes he followed me up maliciously,
and cost me my first couple of jobs by
backcapping me. 1 had him arrested for
this, and the court made him give bono to
leave me alone. The secret stair caseP Oh,
1 never thought much about it, except as
a handy way to get down to the store"

IT is now reported that the County
Commissioners will test the County Con-
troller Act in the courts, so as to guard

possession of office the present generation

A Large Waist

Is not generally considered a necessary
adjunct to the grace, beauty or symmetry
of the womanly form. Within the body,
however, is a great waste made necessary
according to the condition of things-con-
tinually in process and requiring the per
feet action of all bodily functions to abb
sorb or dispel the refuse. When there is
~irregularity or inaction, ladies who value
a clean, pure, healthy body will take DE-
Pierce's Favorite Prescription-the only
remedy for woman which being once used
is always in favor.
To those about to become mothers, it is a
priceless boon, for it lessons the pains and
perils of childbirth, shortens labor, pro-
notes an abundant secretion of nourish-
ment for the child and shortens the period
of confinement.

Carnegie Nail Mills Sold.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The Carnegie wire
nail mills at Beaver Falls, Pa, have been
purchased by the Consolidated Steel and
Wire company Of this city. The purchase
price is said to be in the neighborhood of
1925, 900. The deal, which is probably the
largest effected in the wire nail manufao-
turing industry in recent years, arouses
general interest from the fact that the
present is said to be the first instance of
the Carnegie company having sold a plant
which bore its name.

CLEVELAND, July 29.-1t is more than
probable that the 1000 members of the
Roll Mil Workers union in this city will
strike on Thursday mex for an increase of
1917 per cent. in wages. The men have
already made their demands and they will
hold a formal conference with the mill

SIDEWALKS were carried away, small wood
Sheds and outhouses were moved to the
creek bottoms and destroyed and the
homes OF n number of people were flooded.
Inc greatest amount of damage was
done in the vicinity of Twelfth street and
