Policeman Mcdonald arrested one
Of the slickest swindlers that have ever

net him much, but it was the easy way
he victimizcd several merchants. He
gavc his name as Rev" John Parks
and said he had charge Of somo
churches in tho upper part of the coun-
try. His scheme was to 60 into gro
Gerry or other store and make purchase
of five cents worth Of some particular
article. The merchant would give him
95 cents change, as the Negro invari-
able used n dollar in making purchase
The merchant was perhaps busy and
proceeded to attend to the other custo-
mers, The Negro would put quarter
OF tho change in his pocket, substitute
nickle for it and approaching the
merchant would say: Boss, you
made q mistake in this CHANGE" show-
ing the merchant rs cents. There
would be some dispute ovcr whether the
right change had boon given, but ip
four instances the merchants concluded
they had made the mistake and would
give him the difference to make up the
50 cents. One merchant who allowed
himself to be yictimizcd was so conf
dent that the Nsgro was swindler that
he put Policeman McDonold on tho
case. The officer followed tho Negro to
store just block away when he at
tempted to work the same game, where.

sentenced to thirty days on the chain

SOLD DEAD BODIES.
An Undertaken confesses to The
Gruesome Business.
1T WAS a PAYING SCHEME.
Four Bodies in as Many
Trunks Found in tho
Baggage Room at ST.
Louis Thursday.

A dispatch from st. Louis says four
zinc lined trunks, such as used by
travelling men to carry samples, cach
containing a corpse, wcro taken from
tho baggage room at the Union station
Thursday, aud Frank ThompSon, who
says he is city undertaken OF M6mphis,
Tenn, is undor arrest. Charges Against
Thompson arc boing formulated.
For some time tho police havcIbcen
aware that traffic in human bodies has
been going on through this city and
have bccn on the watch for evidence,
Recently a shipment Of four bodies in
trunks was made, addressed to w. II.
Hanson at Keokuk, Iowa, to whom
those captured Thursday were also CON
signed. The express man who hauled
the trunks from tho Kcokuk depot told
tho station master there that he believed
that they contained bodies. An
investigation was begun and tho police
forany other shipments.
-, When taken to police quarters
Thompson told Of the whole affair.
lic said ho had the contract for burying
the city dead Of Memphis. For some
time he had been selling the bodies to
medical colleges throughout this part
OF tho county. His method was to
pack them with excelsior in drummers
zinc-lincd trunks and take them with
him as baggage as far as st. Louis
From there he shipped the trunks to
thcir destination by express. Thomp-
son said he had been paid all tho way
from $50 to $500 per body. Ho said
tho name w. H. Hansen, to whom the
trunks were consigned in Keokuk is q
fictitious ono, but he refused to state
who his conslgncc really is.
In the trunks taken Thursday were
tho bodies of two mon and boy, all
negroes, and white woman. From
appearances they all died from con
sumption or some other wasting disease.
Tho white woman was evidently some
one of refinement. Her features arc
regular and her hair black. Tho front
teeth are gold filled All the bodies
are we'll preserved.
A dispatch from Memphis says Frank
Thompson, who is under arrest in st.
Louis, is we'll known in Memphis, be-
ing the county undertaken. q. D.
Thompson, brother.of Frank Thomp-
son, has been indicted on two occasions
charged with improper burial Of pauper
dead It is claimed that tho bodies
were inferred only six inches under
ground, which docs not mcot the legal
requirements. On both occasions,
however, Thompson gave satisfactory
explanation and was released.

THE RISE IN FERTILIzE.R.ss,,.
An Officer Of the Chemical Company
Confirms the Report 5S

AS we stated sometime ago thore will
bo q material advance in price Of all !;
fertilizers; and the farmers that B ID 4
planning to plant a big cotton Drop at )
the expense Of provision Drop. must
consider the additional cost Of fertili4
zers in his plans. Tho reason legged N
is that thore has been q yeay heavy
advance within the last year Of oycry-
thing entering into the manufaoturo of 4
fertilizers, including not only all classes
OF materials used, but in machinery
and mill supplies generally requried
by tho factories in thoir operations.
These advances are we'll known and
have necessarily caused an increase III 4
tho cost of fertilizers. Whether the &
cost to. tho consumer will be increased
beyond tho natural increase, duo to tho
higher prioo of materials, as n result
Of the formation Of the Virginia. Caro-
lima Chemical company remains to beg
seon. This company controls tho forth
lizer business practically Of the whole
South, and can fix the price Of goods it@
sells. Mr.. John w Huger, Of Atlanta, Il
manager for tho Southeastern division
OF the Virginia Caroliua company, was
81 Savannah recently and talking to
MoNHing Ncws reporter said, among
other ctiings: s'Eho Virginia Carolina
Chemical eompany was formed thrce
years ago by the amalgamation Of few
factories in Virginia. They saw tho
severe competition there was botweons
tho companies in tho Carr0iniaas and
Georgia, where the companies, on
account OF this competition, were maxi
ing nothing. Honce they thought it,
to their interest to amalgamate their
interests in tho Virginians and North
Carolina to. preserve legitimate profit
in the business From time to time
this company has bought up other COM
panios, until now it has become cor
poration with a capital Of $24, 900, 900;
being managed undcr subdivisions.
Tho two Virginias being Ia one di-
vision, the Carolinas in another and
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Tennessee in another This lattor
division will be controlled and managed
by Mr. John w. Hugcr, with head
quarters at Atlanta, Ga, having branch
offices in the principal cities in his di-5
vision. Mr.. Hugcr stated that he
looked for very material advance in
the prioc Of fertilizers for the season Of
1899 1900, ranging from 81. so to $3.50 \
per ton over last seasons prices. This
is caused by. tho sharp advance during
the last six months Of ~ , 4 o.
materials used in the manufacture Of
fortilizora Phosphate rock, which
enters largely into tho manufacture Of
fertilizers, being tho source Of phos-
phoric acid, one Of the plant foods, has
advanced over 100 per cent. If this be /
true thon the glowing reports as u to I
revival of the phosphate industry in I
in this state are confirmed, in which
will rejoice as it means increased
revenue to the treasury. With these
advances in fertilizer material il will be
impossible to furnish tho consumers
with fortilizors at previous prices acS
cording to Mr.. Huger. n l13g
