Birkenbine of Philadelphia, the drain
age area of the Mississippi river is one

stocks, although it may accept them as
securities, and that it may plead its
want OF power as defense in a case like
the one in question. The transaction

How lie Got Good Prices.

A farmer who kept the best stock tn
be had, and whose eggs were ALWAYS
fresh and his fowls plump, complained
that he got no more for them than his
neighbor, who gave his focks but lit
tie attention, says a writer in Mirror
and Farmer. Both shipped their pro-
duce to the same city, to be sold by a
of eggs per year. When we reflect on
commission merchant. His friend, who
had listened to the complaints, remark
ed: How can you expect customers
to know that you have something
choice to sell when you do not make
the fact known? Why do you not adj
vertise?" The farmer remarked that
only breeders advertised. You try it"
said his friend. The farmer inserted
an advertisement in a leading daily, as
follows: "A farmer who collects his
eggs daily, and who keeps pure bred
fowls, desires families to send orders
to him direct; nc egg over "a hours
old" The result was that in less than
a week he had more applicants than
he cold supply with twice as many hens
as he possessed, and with only one adj
vertisement, which cost him less thar
a dollar. There were customers wait
ing for him, and as soon as he made
himself known they came. He received
from 10 to Is cents per dozen more
han the market price for eggs and his
customers were willing to pay well for
them.

Diluted Milk Selling,


An Ohio case recently decided by
the supreme court of that state goes
to the full extreme by holding a dairy
man responsible for delivering water
ed milk to a creamery company. The
creamery company sued the defendant
for three thousand dollars damages.
The watering was not contested, but
the defense alleged that it had been
done by an employee who was actuated
by malice toward the employer, and
who did it for the purpose of injuring
his employer. The court held that the
master was responsible for the con-
sequences of the malicious acts of the
servant, even though the master was
the object of the malice. He is re-
sponsible for the acts of the servant
absolutely, for the reason that he Sc
lects him, and when third parties are
injured by his acts in performance of
the duty entrusted to him, the en-
ployer must stand any loss that has
resulted from his wrong selection or
misplaced confidence.

The overflow has been so great that
thousands were forced to sleep upon

AN ILL-FATED FAMILY.
Edward Beilstein Adds Another
Chapter to a Series Of Tragedies.

PITTSBURG, Nov 14.-Edward Bell
stein, brother of Bertha Beilstein, who
killed her mother and attempted to kill
herself adds another chapter to the
tragedy which surrounds the family
by killing himself last night on the
grave of his mother.
His body was found at Z o'clock this
morning, and beside it was note that
indicated that he had committed sui
eide There were no marks of violence,
and the inference is that Beilstein took
poison.
The Beilstein family was quite
wealthy, and occupied prominent po-
sition in German circles in the North
Side. A little over year ago J. F.
Beilstein, the father, died after an i'll
ness of a short time. Six months lat
er Bertha shot her mother to death, and
inflicted four wounds with revolver
on herself She is still living, but
cannot recover, her physicians say.
Within twenty four hours after her at
tempt to kin herself, Davis Reich, an
old man who lived with the family, laid
himself on the Fort Wayne tracks in
Lower Allegheny. in front of an ap-
preaching train, and was killed.
Mrs. Beilstein, widow of Edward Bell
stein, who committed suicide last night,
is in dying condition from the effects
of the shock. Three doctors are in
attendance, but can give no hopes of
her recovery.
The news of the suicide has not yet
been communicated to Bertha, the sis
ter, who killed her mother, and who is
now lying at the point of death from
self-infiicted wounds.

FIRE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
A Third of the Business Portion o
Canonsburg Wiped Out.

CANONSBURG Pa.), Nov. 14.-This
town was visited this morning by a
furious fire which wiped out fully a
third of the business portion, including
two of the principal hotels and many
dwellings and did damage estimated at
&15O,O00. No lives were lost as Tar
as can be ascertained.
The section destroyed included West
Pike street and Jefferson avenue. The
approximate insurance is So0,UOO AN
the buildings but one were frame, and
burned like tinder under the force OF
the wind. The volunteer fire depart
ment with bucket brigades could make
no headway, and the telephone operator
had barely time to raise by wirs Wash
ington and Pittsburg, calling for aid,
before being driven from the building
by the flames.
All the guests at the hotels and the
people in the dwelling houses saved
some of their valuables.
During the progress of the fire thieves
reaped a rich harvest in the west end
of the town. After the fire a dozen or
more families found their homes torn
upside down ON their arrival, bedcloth-
ing, groceries and in fact almost every
thing portable being carried away.
