HIS SECRET DIED WITH HIM

New York, Aug. GA special to the
World from New Haven, Conn, says:
With the recent death at Naugatuck,
of Herbert e. Fowler, there has been
lost the secret of an invention that
promised to be of great value to the
commercial world. 1t was a process
for making an electric deposit of COP
per from solution upon wood or any
other rigid or semi-rigid substance.
This process was made possible by
coating the substance that was to be
copper plated with liquid preparation
the secret of which was known only to
Mr.. Fowler. Every means had been
used to induce him to patent the in
vention, but he declined, fearing he
might lose the use of it.
A Chicago company was recently
formed, which offered to take up man
with the copper deposit ex-
tensively, but conditioned their offer
on the patenting of the invention.
Their proposition was sent to Mr.
Fowler but before an agreement had
been reached, the inventor died.

REORGANIZATION cRooKEDNEss
Walter

New York, Aug. 6.-Judge Walter
Lloyd Smith, of the Supreme court in
Brooklyn, has reserved the decision on
the application of James Gamble of
this city for an injunction to restrain
the Knickerbocker Trust company, of
New York, from foreclosing a "a 200, 900
mortgage on the property of the Edi-
son Illuminating Co., at st. Louis. Mr..
Gamble also asked for an accounting
and for the appointment of a receiy-
er for the Edison company.
Mr.. Gamble is stakeholder, owning
5000 stock. He alleges that it is pro-
posed to foreclose the mortgage in or
der to effect a reorganization of the
company which, however, is NOTHING
but freeze out" according to his
lawyer. He insists that the tol eclos-
ure sought on the alleged non-payment
OF interest is unnecessary, as the COM
pany has always made enough money
to pay all its obligations.
In opposition to the motion it was
stated by Julian Davis that the pro-
posed reorganization has not only been
approved by over So per cent of the
stock and bondholders, but was found
necessary to meet an immense floating
debt. While it was admitted that the
company had made money, he claimed
that within the last two years it had
lost nearly half million dollars, ow-
ing to the ravages of the big lorna
do in st. Louis in 1896 and of a de-
structive fire in the same year.

CLAIMS IT ALL FOR CANADA.

Portland, Me-, Aug. Capt. Miles
Standish, of Montreal, who has been
spending the summer in Alaska, has
written a letter which was received
here today. In this letter he says that
the situation on the Klondike is not
very dissimilar to other gold fields.
The yellow metal is there, he says, but
it does not lie around the ground in
chunks waiting to be scoopped out.
1t can only be secured by patient and
uncommonly laborous placer mining,
interspersed with many weary miles
OF tramping around from pocket to
pocket. He further says that the jour
ney to the ''diggings' from Juneau is
an enterprise calculated to pail the
stoutest heart.
Beyond all this, winter is already
beginning in that region and anyone
who starts now must stop over at Ju-
neau until next May. There is not
food enough in all Alaska to keep the
people who are planning to go there.
for a month. He also says the larger
part of the Klondike region is Canada
stretching an elastic boundary line
an inch" and adds that the Dominion
police will have something to say about
Yankees coming over there and taking
away all the gold.

OIL AS A DUST PREvENrER.
Railroads Using 1t to Sprinkle Instead
OF Water.

New York, Aug. "a dispatch to
the Herald from Mays Landing, N. j.,
says:
The recent discovery of Chief Engin-
eer ]. H. Nichols, of the West Jersey
and Seashore railroad that crude oil
applied to the ground along railroad
tracks would effectually lay the dust,
has proven after thorough tests to
work far better than was at first ex-
pected. Both the railroads leading
from Camden and Atlantic City are be-
ing thoroughly saturated for a dis
lance of six feet on both sides of the
track.
The oil is applied on much the same
plan as streets are sprinkled with wa
ter and recently an oil train with a
sprinkling apparatus sprinkled more
than twenty miles of track. The work
will be completed in few days. One
sprinkling a year at cost of $50 per
mile it is claimed will lay the dust but
two applications have to be made.
The Pennsylvania system. it is said,
is to be sprinkled with oil as speedily
as possible.

CHATTANOOGA MAYOR TALKS
ABOUT US IN NEW
YORK CITY.
Tells Them That Cotton Is Long
er King Of The South, But
That Manufactures Are Al
50 Being Successfully
Conducted.

New York, Aug. 6.-The Tribune
says:
George w. ochs, mayor of Chattan-
ooga, Tenn, is in the city. In an in
terview he said:
1T is universally conceded that the
Tennessee Centennial exposition at
Nashville is a brilliant success. 1t is
the most elaborate and intelligent dis
play of the resources, products and in
dustrial achievements of the southern
states ever made. The attendance
has been excellent, the paid admis-
sions from June l to August aggre-
eating 100000. September and Octo-
Der are regarded as the best months
and it is expected that the total admis-
sions will approach 100000"
What is the business outlook in the
south?" was asked.
VERY promising. We have the best
cereal crop in years in Tennessee; the
fruit crop was the most profitable We
have ever had and immense profits
were realized this year from water
melons. Cotton is higher than it has
been for years; eight cents a pound is
now better than II cents was ten years
ago, because in addition to his cotton
the planter now disposes of his seed
to advantage, while the prices realiz-
ed win purchase fully 80 1-3 per cent
more.
But cotton no longer holds undispu-
ted sway in the south. The iron and
lumber industries are growing rapidly
in Importance. The iron industry is
now especially active; the mining
troubles are practically settled and the
recovery is almost magical Steel is
now being successfully made at Bir-
mingham from southern ores, and this
one achievement is fraught with inn
mense possibilities for our entire con-
dition. Furnaces that have been cold
for years are going into blast, the lar
ger iron mills are resuming and the
immense foundries at Chattanooga and
at Birmingham have heavy orders
booked and are running full time. A
short time since a pipe works in the
south received a contract against
competitive bids from all over the
world for a large order at Yokohoma,
Japan, and in the last twelve months
southern furnaces have sold at Genoa,
Antwerp and Liverpool over 100, 900 tons
of pig, in the face of competition from
England, Germany and Belgium. 1t
is practically certain that an English
syndicate with $5,OOO,OOO capital has
closed negotiations for a number of
the largest coal mines and coke plants
of East Tennessee and will develop
them"
rs the south sharing the Klondike
excitement" he was asked.
The people of the south are i'm
pulsive and adventurous. There has
been some suppressed excitement all
over the south for year past over the
recent discovery of new chlorination
and separating processes have made
the interractable ores of the south pro-
htable to mine and many gold mines,
abandoned years ago, are now being
probably operated. A short time
since l held in my hand a solid brick
of gold worth $4,000 which had been
taken from Georgia gold mine at a
cost Of $1,000. A number of young
men have already left the south for the
new Ell Dorado"

WE ARE ALIENS

Toronto, Ont, Aug. 6.-Canada has
begun to take measures to enforce the
alien labor laws against Americans.
Commissioner McCreary is here on
business in connection with work on
the Crows Nest Pass railroad through
the Rocky mountains. He informed
the Canadian Pacific railroad authori-
ties that any American laborers en-
gagged for the work would be deported
to their own country again. Mr.. Nc
Creary has instructions from the Can
adian government to strictly enforce
the law.

THE MINING TROUBLES.
Debs Makes a Speech-Denounces the
Judge-A boast of What He
Will Do.


Will Do.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 6.-Eugene V.
Debs, who addressed the miners meet
ing on Duquesne wharf last night, left
today for Turtle Creek, where he
speaks this evening. Before leaving the
city he denounced Judge Jackson, of
West Virginia, for issuing the injunc-
ton, restraining him from interfering
in any way with the Monongahela
company or its employees. Mr.. Debs
said:
This injunction restraints me from
walking on any public highway lead
ing to the mines of the Monongahela
coal and coke company; it is most
sweeping and none other can be COM
pared to it. 1t annihilates the right
of a peaceable assemblage and effect
ually suppresses free speech. If it is
sustained, and I have no doubt IL will,
It sweeps away all constitutional safe
guards and delivers US, bound hand
and foot, to corporate capital. I hcld
the injunction and the judge who is
sued it in supreme contempt. If
have occasion to raise my voice in be-
half of furnishing miners in Jackson's
jurisdiction, l propose to do so or at
least make the attempt to talk, re-
CARELESS of this Infamous injunction.
In reference to the charge that dep
uties now on guard at Dearmitt's
mines, were forcing miners to work at
the point of revolvers, President Dolan
stated that the matter had been placed
in the hands of their attorneys, and
that the miners officials would ask
for an injunction restraining these
deputies. Said he:
"They have no right to compel any
man to go to work and we will not
stand It,"
The coal company discovered new
south missionary working among its
employees today. Wives of many camp
ers are in the field now scattered about
through the Plum, Sandy and Turtle
Creek settlements and while the men
are in the mines, they do missionary
work among their wives. They have
access to the workmen's houses, but
men are denied this. Deputies are sta
toned all along the property line with
instructions not to allow a solitary
man to pass into the house range. The
campers claim the effect of female
missionary work will be apparent in a
day or so. Many Plum Creek men are
expected to join the movement after
pay day. Monday the strikers say they
would be out, but that they want to get
as much money as possible ahead so
as to have something to fall back on.

81 last, while she was confined to her
bed, Harvey Boone bribed her nurse
to drug her, and while she was stupi-
fed he came to her bedside with a
minister and license and they were
married. She says the marriage has
never been sanctioned by her and asks
the court to annul it.

MINING DEAL.
English Syndicate After An American
Gold Mine.


Gold Mine.
New York. Aug. 6.-The Tribune
says:
The boom in gold mining ventures
started in this country has apparently
spread to England. For some time
representatives of London syndicates
have been in this city endeavoring to
acquire gold mines of proved value for
exploitation on the British markets.
The latest deal reported in this city
is the sale by the Gold Creek Mining
company, of Nevada, of its property to
a British syndicate for $15,00O,OOO. The
original capital stock of this company
was $500, 900. The greater part of the
stock is held by the officers of the COM
pany, who are Major Joseph Robertson
president; George l.. Hutchins, vice
president; Francis Dickinson, secreta-
ry; William H. Paulding, A. H. Steal,
Dunbar Hunter and John Moyham, di-
rectors. Col. B. S. Bush, formerly
chief engineer and constructor of the
Croton acqueduct, is the engineer of
the company. He estimates that over
s42, OO0, 900 in gold is contained in the
placer, which comprises 5000 acres
along the banks of Gold creek. OF the
above named officers, only Messrs.
Hutchins and Dickinson are in town.
Both refused to give any explicit in
regarding the reported sale.
Mr.. Dickinson admitted, however, that
were in progress with an
English syndicate and would probably
be completed in a short while. Mr..
Hutchins would only say that any
statement that the Gold creek mines
had been sold was premature.

And call oil our neighbors together;
And when they appear
Let us make them such cheer
