Travellers in Europe are limited by the rail-
roads to small quantity Of baggage carried free,
usually about ifty-six pounds. In q train in Bel
gium recently two fellow-travelers got into con-
ve1sation, and came upon the subject Of free
baggage, when one asked leave to measure the
others trunk. The result was that the meas1rer
said:
''Your trunk Is seven and half centimetres
too long, and has NO right to be in the comport-
ment Of free luggage. am . railway inspector,
and must hne you francs Please give me your
name and address"
The proposed victim Of misplaced confidence
was, however, equal to the occasion.
''Kindly lend me your measure, that may sat-
iay myself on the subject"
Then, with . polite smile: 81 am director
in the royal weights and measures ONCE. To my
great regret. / notice that your measure Is not
stamped, ~ is required by law; 80 that, nrstly,
your msaelring i not legally valid; and, SEC

MAzET RESUMES PRoBINas.
Opens His Batteries Upon Tammany
Again This Morning.


Again This Morning.
New York, May 1.-THE heavy batteries
of the Mazet Investigating Committee
were again turned upon Tammany's ad-
ministration Of the police department to-
day. Mr.. Moss resumed the assault where
he left off at adjournment yesterday. He
went straight to the core of the Tammany
conspiracy to gain complete control Of the
police department by calling to the stand
Capt. John F. Herlihy, the police captain
the demand for whose transfer precipitat-
ed the hitch which resulted in the removal
of Police Commissioners Hamilton and
Phillips and the turning out of Office of
Chief McCullagh.
Captain Herlihy's transfer from the
Fifth precinct was demanded by the Tam
many interests, because he had closed up
the Cafe Manhattan after Martin Engel,
a Tammany leader, had asked him to let
up. Captain Herlihy was an unwilling
witness. but one influence Tammany ex-
erts In the police department was really
shown. The next witness was q young
man named Cohen, who had lost money in
poolrooms. H. ]. Widness also told the
committee he had lost Sc, 900 In New York
poolrooms within the last five months.
Comptroller Color will be called later in
the afternoon.

II May Be Necessary to summon An
other Extra Panel.
The empaneling of a jury in the case Of
George w. Horton, who is charged with
murder, was continued today in Criminal
Court No. 1. At 2 o'clock thirty-five of
the extra talesmen summoned yesterday
were examined, but the jury was not COM
pleted. The other five talesmen were set
aside by the court because Of excuses Of
fered, but were later during the day called
for examination.
1t is very probable that still another
batch of talesmen will have to be sum-
moned before the jury is completed.
When those temporarily excused by the
court were called for examination there
were still five peremptory challenges re-
naming to the counsel on either side, four
to the defendant and one to the Govern
ment

Quickest and Most Convenient Route
to Mount Vernon.

II Is certainly a great saving Of time, to say
nothing Of the attractiveness and convenience
Of the route, to go to Mount Vernon on the
electric trains Of the Washington, Alexandra,
md Mount Vernon Railway. These trains make
the nun in either direction in fifty-ive minutes,
and, as one hour is ample time in which to sec
all the points Of interest about the home and tomb
Of Washington, only three hours are required to
make the entire trip. Electric trains leave the
station at Thirteen-and- -a-hslf Street and Penn
sylvania Avenue every hour from 10 q. M. to p.
N. for Mount Vernon. and about svery forty-ave
minutes for ASlinstaA

STORMS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Serious Damage From Violent Gale
Yesterday Evening.


Yesterday Evening.
Altoona, Pa, May 17.-Reports today
from all parts OF Central Pennsyl-
vania show that the effects of last even
ing's storm were even more serious than
early reports showed. Every town and
city over a wide area suffered more or less
from wind, hail, and lightning, and al
though there was little loss of life and in
no single instance was the damage very
heavy, the sum total of the innumerable
small losses will run up into heavy fig
ures. Telegraph and telephone wires are
down in all directions, trolley lines have
been blocked for hours BY broken wires
and poles, and in several instances steam
railways have been obstructed by great
trees blowing across the tracks.
Shade trees are down by hundreds, roofs
are off, and the country roads in all di-
rections are obstructed with the wreck Of
demolished sheds and fences. William
Mackay, aged seventeen, was killed by
lightning at Brockville. At Frankstown
the Pennsylvania Railroad station was
turned upside down. The steeple Of the
Methodist church at Hollidaysburg blew
over crushing Burkhamer's bakery. Far
mers and gardeners all through this region
are heavy losers, growing crops being
ruined by the wind and rain.

valid, the self-confessed murderer Of his
wife and child, attempted suicide last
night by trying to pierce his heart with a
needle. Oswald is now lowering between

The stock market this morning was
strong beyond the expectation even Of the
bulls. Under the lead OF the Flow
er stocks, all Of which made rapid
advances, the entire list went up
during the first hour from fraction to
three points or more, with NO weakness in
any direction. There had been confident
predictions of a big decline in price for the
opening hour this morning, owing to the
recent strength in the market, but these
pessimistic suggestions failed to material
ize in a remarkable way, considering the
circumstances. The room traders were
apparently the only people who cared to
sell stocks and all Of this crowd saw losses
at IL o'clock with a very fair prospect of
larger ones before the end of the day.
People who sold out their long holdings
after the first advance expecting to get
back their stocks at lower figures were
disappointed in the early part Of the day
at least.

1t is difficult to predict the outcome Of
the unusual strength Of the market. Hesi-
tation and fluctuations had been expected
naturally after the earthquake on Satur-
day, but up to this time there has been
nothing except steady bull market which
has regained large part Of the losses
made on Saturday. 1t seems only natural
that a reaction should come now and the
majority Of traders believed that such
would be the case before the close, but it
is possible that the buying has been of
such strong character that even higher
prices will be made without much of a
break. AS was suggested in this column
this morning the people who bought stocks
at the bottom did SO to start a boom and
to restore confidence. These people can
not sell out without undoing all the good
their work has accomplished.

The buying Of the Huntington stocks was
excellent this morning, as it was yesterday,
and new high prices were made. Pacific
Mail is picked out for a good advance In
the near future, although its rise this week
has not kept pace with that Of Central
Pacific and Southern Pacific.

The earnings Of st. Paul for the second
week in May were the largest in the his
tory Of the road, showing an increase Of
$25, 900 over last year and of $150,000 over
the year before. The wheat news Of the
day was good. and this. with the St. Paul
earnings, had good effect on the granger
stocks.

The action Of Governor Roosevelt seems

stocks were particularly strong this morn

since Saturday. Metropolitan was soon

haitian advanced to above Ill, and seemed
strong at this figure. The talk regarding
Brooklyn is particularly bullish among the
friends of Governor Flower.

tice's court. He was exhonorated in both courts.
 A dance was given last Monday night by the Alianza society at their hall in Morenci in honor of their vice-president and travelling branch lodge organizer, o. H. Fully. Loredo's band supplied the music, there being about 30 couples on the floor at time. The good things was continued until old "sol" poked his round bald head above the bills saluting the dancers happy good morning.
 Vandals broke into the Clifton Morenci pest house, located near Morenci, and stole dozen quilts and a small tent, be- sides rifiing trunk which had belonged to one of the patients, having used 8 pick to force an entrance into the build ing. The house had been perfectly se- cured by Deputy Constable Thomas when he released the patients, and the premises were thoroughly fumigated with all contents, so that fears of recur- renee of the disease from the stolen articles are unnecessary.
 Last week Paul Becker had occasion to put $353 in small box, which he placed under the counter behind some larger boxes. Three men were in the store at the time and noticing Mir.

 J.C. Gatti, of the Cliftcn M. M. & S. F., was here on business Saturday. Tim Nordelli has sold his saloon in Morenci to Bias Sirianni, who will take possession this week
 Dr. H. A. Schell intends making regu- lar trips to Clifton to treat diseases of the eye of persons who find it inconveni- ent to go to Morenci for treatment.
 The new water system of Morenci works like a charm, the pressure being in many parts of town very heavy, which will be of the greatest advantage in case of fire.
 The D. c. NJ. Go. will soon commence building their new store. It will be very much larger and more convenient than the present store building. It will be built entirely of steel and stone and thoroughly fire proof.
 
 Hermann Keppler and two deputies, left Sunday afternoon for Eagle Creek to visit child reported very low with smallpox. There are no cases of the dis ease at present in Morenci.
 It will be gratifying news to the many friends of Dan Price, at one time a resi- denter of Morenci, to learn that he has made rich strike in the Oscura moun- tains east of Socorro, N. M. He is now shipping copper ore regularly to the smelter.
 Munquia & Lapoint have had their place newly papered and kolsomined and the bar has been removed to the Gonzales, lately of Las Cruces, and known as one of the mixologists of New Mexico, is now tending bar.

 Strangers visiting Morenci should by ali means pay visit 10 the new concen- trator now being built by the above com pany. Like visit to New York, Chica- go or St. Louis, one sees SO much in Morenci on the grand scale that by com parison great thing becomes a small matter. On every hand is to be seen great embankments on dumps of mines looking as huge as the. mountains them selves, and the least sensitive nature cannot help but feel sense of the great ness of the many enterprises now being forwarded in this wonderland.
 Among these many enterprises is the new concentrator now in course of con- struction. Large frame buildings greet the eye, to the left of which, occupying the slope, rises four terraces of steel set on enormous foundations of masonry. The concentrator will be made of steel from the Gillette, Herzog Mfg. Go. of Minneapolis. The foundation is l20x17O feet and the mill will be in two sections with the engine room in the middle, and the power used will be gas.
 The ore will be hoisted from the mine and dumped into second-class ore bins, which will be 30 feet higher than tine top of the mill; it will then be drawn out of these bins on to a travelling belt 32 in- ches wide and 13O feet long and carried to the crushers at the top of the mill. The first-class ore will be picked from the belt while in motion.
 The method of concentrating the ore will be very much the same as that fol- lowed by the A. c. Co.,, the ore being first crushed coarse and concentrated on iigs and then the tailings from the jigs are recrushed and concentrated on Frue vanners.
 When completed it will be the largest single mill in Arizona.
 The D. NJ. 0. have eight furnaces in operation.
 Abe Sigel is now working in the A. c. Co.'S store.
 Judge Everhardy has sold his new building to Anastacia Murray.
