FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
An InoffensiNe Donkey the Author
Of Tragedy.

ST Michael's. Nd, Feb. 10.-Richard S.
nodson's children have a pet donkey,
which 10 all appearances is the most in
offensive animal in the town of St Mich
aol's. yet he is the author of a tragedy.
He is not a bad-looking donkey. either,
for he bears the impress of being well
kept aud properly groomed. Some time
ago the children We're driving in their
cart along the road which winds around
Navy Point. This road makes a sudden
turn ct Richards sawmill and teams
coming in the opposite direction are hid
den from view by high board fence. a
lady from Broad Creek Neck, driving a
fine black horse, was on the way tc the
min on business, and iGst as her team was
about to reach the sudden turn in the
road the donkey made his appearance. The
sight of the donkey, with his long flap
pers" consPicuously prominent, was too
much for the nervous system of the horse.
He came 10 a sudden standstill, trembled
like n leaf and fell down dead in his
tracks. The situation at first seemed too
ludicrous to be appreciated by the lady
and the children, but it soon became ap-
parent that the horse had been frightened
TO death by the donkey. This is an anthem
tic stcry. The donkey is still the prize
of the little folks who own him.

MILLIoN-DoLLAR COMPANY.
New Casualty Concern Being Organ
fZed in baltimore.

Baltimore. Feb. ia new casualty
company is in process of organization here.
The company when organized proposes to
conduct a general casualty business in the
different States. 1t is understood that a
board Of directors has been selected and
that valuable and important connections
have been made.
Mr. IsidoF Rayner, who has been asked
TO act as general counsel for the company,
in speaking Of the enterprise yesterday,
said:
A number Of gentlemen are contemplat-
ing The organization OF a new casualty
company. They propose to place the cap
ital At half a million dollars. l under
stand that they are making certain CON
necJions with other cities which Will make
The company a very large one, with def
nike arrangements for its business so soon
as organized.
AS the counsel for the proposed com
pany / am not at liberty to mention the
names Of its promoters or board OF diTec-
Tors. The names proposed are among the
most influential men in the city and
Others Of recognized prominence in fnan-
riai circles elsewhere. There viii only bs
Twelve directors, and every step has been
taken cOnseTyauysly in the formation of
The company, so as 10 make sure OF its
success 50 SCCn aSS)rganl eaton Is cHecJSu.
/ am informed that there will be no pre-
c.pitatc action in this matter, IS the effort
Of those interested is now directed 10 e
curing some of the best casualty men in
The country to act IS agents and repre-
seulatiyes IN The large cities.
The company could have been organized
q month ago. but IL vas deemed advisable
10 secure combination of interests which
would throw a large and safe amount Of
business into tho hands of the company
from the time il went into operation.
The business will be strictly a casualty
business. IT was suggested that the COM
Uamy transact a fire insurance as well as
the casualty business. This matter was
under consideration for some time. but ii
was fnaiIt determined 10 limit the business
strictly 10 casualty and TO eliminate the
fire Insurance feature, and also 10 limit ii
to the safest character of casualty kusi-
hess
Mr. Rayner was asked when the COM
pany would commence business. He said
that formal subscription papers were now
being signed and upon which the executive
committee would make allotments; that
The subscriptions at his office amounted
10 81 000, 000 but that the directors did not
intend to caIl the money in or commence
operations until all the principal agencies
were thoroughly established.

LUMBER MEN TO MEET.
Ehorts TO Revive the North Car,
linn Pine Association.

hHu Pine Association.
Baltimore, Feb. 10.-A meeting will be
held next Tuesday at Norfolk, Va, of rem
resentatives of companies controlling the
output of North Carolina pine. 1t is plan
ned TO rehabilitate the North Carolina Pine
Association. which from its organization
IN 1889 until 1893 regulated this trade and
maintained stability in prices. The de-
pressed state Of general business in 1898
I contracted the demand and caused a
scramble for the reduced volume of trade,
with the result that the prices fixed by
the association were ignored and its pow
er broken.
Since that time there have been a Num-
| Der OF attempts by leading concerns in
! this industry to restore the effectiveness
OF the association, but without success, al
! though the organization was kept together.
There IS now feeling of strong confidence
over the outlook for business. and il is the
belief that there viii be an advance in
prices. This condition is regarded as IA
yorable TO the restoration of the power of
/ the association, and the proposition is now
receiving serious consideration
The recent negotiations by Boston syn
! dicate 10 amalgamate the leading oompa-
mics operating in this branch of the lum-
Der business, while not broken off. have
not as yet been successful and now the
I lumDermen propose TO revive their asso-
| citation with the view of controlling the
business in this way Baltimoreans are
! largely interested-in this industry. and the
headquarters of the largest companies are
in this city.

His Head.

Norristown. Pa, Feb. 10.-Montgomery
county added another murder to its already
largely swelled list yesterday morning,
when Andrew Debro died from the effects
of a stab of large Barton knife, in the
hands of John Hadrig. The stabbing af-
fray occurred at a wedding celebration,
Sunday evening.
Sunday afternoon Frank Waldo and Mag
gle Puinsky came here and were married.
They then. with party of friends, return
ed to their home in Port Kennedy, and the
merrymaking at once began There was
an abundance of refreshments on hand.
Toward evening a fight occurred. Fore
most in the scrap, were Debro and Ha-
, drig. Fists were freely used for a time,
but all were pacified, and it was thought
the fight was all over when suddenly Ha-
Orig drew knife and rushing upon Debro
stabbed him in the left side of the head
near the temple.
The injured man was taken to his home
and a physician summoned. Between life
and death he hovered until this morning
when he died.
Hadrig was today placed under arrest

YOUTHFUL TRAIN WRECKER.
TwcIve-Year-OId George Comic! I'm
ioNeI Seeing Smash-tp.


New Brunswick, n. J.. Feb. 10.-George
Conley, twelve years old, stunted as 10
figure but with the face of an -old man,
is in the county Jail here, held to await
the action of the grand jury on charge OF
attempted train wrecking.
Young Cenley's parents died When he
was baby, and he was brought up by his
grandfather. John Quinn, who lives in
little cottage between Jamesburg anu Pros-
pects Plains. on the Camden and Amboy
division of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Young Coniey, so all the neighbors say, Is
a tough, wild boy. he SMOKED cigar
cites when he was eight years old, and for
three wears has chewed tobacco. Men
tally precocious, he was an lnyeterate
reader Of cheap sensational novels, ana MS
fayorites were those that told OF the Won
derful adventures of juvenile desperadoes.
Conley, according to his own story, was
very anxious to see a big train wreck
Whenever a railway disaster on the Penn
sylyania road was reported he expressed
the wish that it might have taken place
near Jamesburg and when the West Dun
ellen tragedy was recorded he displayed
keen disappointment that such disasters
never happened in his neighborhood
On Sunday, January 29, Harvey Stonak-
er, a telegraph operator at Heimetta, VINO
was on his way TO lue to"el, iounu q
heavy beam lying across the rails or the
eastbound passenger track 1t was wired
down with telegraph cables. The obstruc-
tion was such that train striking 1t could
not have failed of being wrecked. Stonak-
or gave the alarm and the beam was re-
moved.
Several times prior to this other obstruc-
tions had been found and switches and
frogs had been choked with stones.
Detectives were set to work to lind the
criminal. who was thought to be some
crank with a real or supposed grievance
against the railway company Their wo- k
was easy, but their surprise was great
when the trail led to twelye-year- old
boy.
Young Conley was arrested. yesterday
and lodged in Jail on a commitment OF
Justice Lucas, of jamestown. He Son-
fessed the crime. He said that he want
ed to see how a train wreck looked, and
so determined to wreck one. He had cart
ed the beam from the yard of his grand
fathers house and had wired it down SO
that it could not slip. Then he had gone
home to wait for the train to come ong.
He denied that he had had anything to do
with previous cases of distractions on the
track, but his denial is not credited.
The child takes his Imprisonment sto-
ically his greatest concern being. that he
cannot get cigarettes. He seems to con-
slider himself something of hero.

Ing f11S
New York, Feb. 10.-Recorder Ward, of
Perth Amboy, N j., sentenced Peter
Knudson, to sixty days in the chain gang
yesterday. Knudson has not done any
work for two years, and the fact that his
family was turned out on the street was
the cause of his arrest last Monday.
Charitable neighbors took care of the
eyicted family. Knudson is a blacksmith
by trade, but for two years has been sup
ported by his three children, who have
been sent out in the streets and into the
saloons to beg.
When Knudson has been offered work
he has simply sneered at the offers and
absolutely refused to work.
he IS a sober man, and he has never
been seen ioafng around the streets. The
evidence aroduced simply showed that he
was lazy.
