n Narrow Escape OF bEuhSNsch
Boy From Death.
Brunswick, Ga, Aug. 27-Benjamin
Franklin, one of the most popular mem
bers Of Brunswick fire department, was
badly injured by a Southern passenger
train to-day. He lost three fingers off the
right hand and sustained a severe lick
in the head and back. But for the pres
ence of mind and quick action Of a negro
man, Franklin would have been cut in
two. This man, name at present unob-
tainable snatched Franklin from under
meath the wheels just as they were about
to pass over him.
It seems that Franklin expected to meet
some friends on the excursion train from
Macon. He went out to the George street
crossing to board the train. The train
was in motion when he attempted TO get
on. His foot slipped and he fell under
the cars.

NEW YORI1's PRODUCE MARK EFT.
Bulls Transfer Their Attention From
Wheat to Corn.

Bulls Transfer Their Attention From
Wheat to Corn.
New York, Aug. 27-Wheat lost cents
a bushel to-day and the lowest point was
about 10 cents under the top notch for the
season.
There were not enough influential bulls
on the market to make a respectable fight
against the declining tendency. They
have nearly all become centered in corn.
Consequently when Liverpool opened
away off this morning, and followed it
up with further decline on later cables,
the local market simply went to pieces.
1t looked for time as if the bottom had
dropped out, so rapidly did prices slide
down hill in response to the rain of selling
orders, with which the brokers bonn barded
the market. There was practically no sup
port other than that afforded by little
buying against puts. The December op
tions sold to CSC on first sales, which was
a sheer break of cents a bushel from
last night. Then it skirmshed around for
a time buffeted up and down by conflicting
orders, but soon settled into a steady de-
cline, which finally landed it half an hour
before the close at $3.50, from where it
rallied to 947sc where it left off.
Selling was general during the day, no.
900 bushels were traded in Corn was not
so active as yesterday, but showed plain
ly strong bull leadership. While wheat
lost about 5 cents a bushel, corn lost less
than a cent and closed pretty firm. There
was some rain in Nebraska, but in other
important corn states drought prevailed.
Cables were higher and foreign houses

The Railways "nd Famine. in India.


II Is possible that the importance of rail-
ways as protective and preventive works
have been somewhat exaggerated az the
expense OF canals and irrigation works,
whereas, although they are of immense
value In checking abnormal variations in
prices and In relieving scarcity by facIli-
tating the transport Of grain, they can only
distribute available grain and cannot
create IL or provide people with the means
OF purchasing it IN the same way as the
water distributed by the canals But while
this should always be borne in mind. the

From the Washington Star.
''The recent death Of Christian K Ross,
the father OF the lost Charley Ross, prob
ably ends up one of the greatest mysteries
of modern times" remarked a detective
officer to a Star reporter Though it
was over twenty-five years ago when
Charley Ross was lost or stolen, many OF
the facts are as fresh in my mind as they
were when the mystery was at it's hight

mystery. as had almost every detective

70 find some Of the family servants Of tho
Ross family, but, strange as IL may ap-
pear, they were as badly lost as Charley
Ross was. at least, 1 never was able to
hnd any Of them, or. indeed learn any,
thing Of their whereabouts. Though there
were all kinds of rewards offered In the
case, they were all contingent on the find
ing of the lost Charley. The result was
that all the Investigations had to be made
at private expenses. and many a detec-
tive and several big detective firms went
broke on the case Finally, IL became
actually dangerous to have anything to do
with the case, especially II you happened
/ TO be within the borders of the state OF
Pennsylvania, for the police authorities
OF that state had a law passed by the
legislature which compelled every one IL
he had any information In connection
with the case to surrender il free 10 the

THE RELIABLE HEN.

The incubator business is taking ON
astounding proportions. This lis true
in the use of incubators, as we'll as
in the manufacture of these ma
chimes. The latter business could not
have attained it's present dimensions
had it not been for the success of the
machines in actual practice all over
the country. There has been too
much success in the use of incuba-
tors and too much money made by
this process ITO claim at this Latte day
that the most improved incubators
are anything but successful and prof
liable when correctly managed. We
are led to these reflections by receiv-
ing the superb 168-page catalogue of
uhe Reliable Incubat tor & Brooder
Co., Quincy, Ill. Their machine is
one of the most popular and most
largely used. It is made in a careful
and wOrl1man-like manner and of the
very best materials. Too much can
lot be said in favor of the Reliable
regulator. The regulator is as near
perfect aus is possible to ATTAIN. One
Of the strong points of this machine
is that they are thoroughly tested in
constant practice on the large poul-
try farms conducted by this concern.
The methods followed at these and
other successful poultry establish
memts, together with full directions
concerning the management of incu-
bators and the poultry business in
general, are given in this eleventh

The Peoples Business.

Poultry keeping and poultry rails
ing belong to the people. 1t cannot
be cornered. 1t is too shy for capital
to decoy it. 1t thrives Oh poverty,
and the dooryard of the poor is the
place where it pays the best divi
dend. No business is more scattered
than the poultry business. The
wealthy may have their hens il the
back yard of the city residence, or
the barn yard of the country summer
retreat, but they are offset by the
