razor by Arthur Goddard in the out
skirts of Dawson on June !, state that
Prater was employed on the Dawson

around with some of the boys, jump
ing and running. He went home about
> o'clock.

Says Standard Oil Money Did Not
Elect Judge Haight.

Albany. y. Y. June 1S-Ex-Governor
David b. Hill, who was at the head of
the defeated Democratic state ticket the
year that Judge Haight was elected with
the rest of the Republican state ticket
SAID tonight concerning l.. NJ. Lockwood :;
testimony in relation TO Judge Haight' ;
election given before the industrial COM
mission:
Judge Haight was elected in the fail
of 1891. At that election | headed the
Democratic ticket for governor, leading
a forlorn hope and presumably recollecI
the campaign very well. The Democrats
had To contend against the hard times
the silver panic. the Wilson tariff and dis
closures of municipal corruption. as well
as divisions among Democrats. themselves
and Of course the result was a Repub-
lcan cyclone, as everybody knew it
would be.
The Republicans needed no immense cor
ruption fund either from the Standard
on company or any body else, to elect their
whole ticket. including Judge Haight.
recollect at the time there was some crit
Icism, principally by coterie of Popu-
lists. of a decision which Judge Haight
had once made as supreme court JUS

plurality over a most able and popular
opponent. Judge HaiSht receiving 81, 80
votes. while Governor Morton received
only few more. tO-wit: 673,S1S.
1T IS absurd for a Pennsylvania, at
this day, who can naturally have no
knowledge Of the matter of which he
assumes to speak To assert that Judge
Halght was either nominated or elected
in New York state through the contribu-
ton or efforts of the Standard Oil COM
pany. IL verifies the old saying that One
must go away from home to get the
news He was elected because the tide
of that year in New York as well as
everywhere else. was with his party, and
he was nominated because of his high
personal character. his efficient judicial
ability and unquestioned integrity, con-
cedeu by the whole bar and people of that
state, and as a fair political opponent, it
gives me pleasure to say this much"

Wizard Edison Is Engaged In
New Experiments.

Chicago. June 1S.-A special to the Rec
ord from McAdoo. Tenn, says:
The visit of Thomas a. Edison to the
coal mines in this vicinity during the last
two days has been the subject of much
speculation. 1t is definitely learned to-
gay that Il new process Tor producing Il
marketable fuel has engaged the in
Ventors attention. and it Will be launched
not only to compete with the product of
the Pennsylvania coal fields. but with
that of China which has found ready sale
on the Pacific coast.
In fact, the primary purpose of the
scheme is to meet the demands in Cali
fornia. which the actively increasing iron
trade has made particularly pressing. For
several days r. II. ->orton. former in

Edison.
The quality of the California coal ap-
proacheS bituminous. is the opinion
of Mr.. Norton. that. made into bricquettes
by a new electrical process ii will be just
as serviceable any other. and as u
further evidence of his confidence in this
respect, since Mr.. EdiSons visit here, he
has engaged n large number of expert
coal miners and has chartered a Lehigh
Valley car to send them to California. 1t
ia believed Mr. Edison will devise a
scheme to make it possible to use the
refuse of hard coal heretofore cOnsid-

MURDER IN HAVANA.
City Stirred Up Over Killing of No
torious Woman.


Havana, June 1S.-The local papers
today devote considerable space to the
murder of the notorious Minnie Ross,
who was killed with the blunt end of a
hatchet. after being choked, and was
found dead early yesterday morning.
It was first reported that a well-known
army officer was involved. The uni
form found in the room of Fred
Krause, now in custody on the charge
of being the murderer, is undoubtedly
one formerly worn by him. He is said
TO be member of a wealthy Tampa
family.
Thus far there is but little evidence
against him. Many believe. from the
nature of the crime, that it was COM
mitted by d woman. One theory is that
the blow with the Ratchet was not i'm
mediately fatal and that the victim
was then chQked TO death. Robbery
could scarcely have been the motive
for the police found $500 in the muir
dered woman's room, and a quantity of
valuable jewelry on her dressing table
Another theory is that the authorities
have received definite information that
the woman had been paying money TO
some one connected with the police de-
partment for the privilege of conduct
ing her house, which was one of bad
repute, had sent an agent to ascertain
the name OF the Sullty Onlclal THIS
