Prior to 1912 the worlds produc-
100000 tons; in the present year it
Is, according to latest estimates. $780,
900 tons, while the cane sugar crop,
which in 1872 was 1889 900 tons, is in
the present year 2.904,0 tons. Thus
cane-sugar production has scarcely
doubled during the period under con-
stderation, while that from beets has
more than quintup1ed. Meantime the
price has fallen more than ene-han,
the average cost in foreign countries Of
all sugar imported into the United
States in the fiscal year 1872 being 2.37
cents per pound, and in 1899 2.39 cents
per pound. No instance of the world 8
production of foodstuffs has been more
rapid or striking than that with refer
ence to beet sugar. In 1S54-5 the total
beet-sugar crop Of the world was but
l82, 200 tons; In 1885 it was 2,545, 900
tons; in 1S04-5, 1872 1893 tons. and in
18s9-1a0o, $4,000 tons. In 1885
beet sugar formed Ii per cent Of the
worlds total sugar crop, and in 1899
1900 it formed &C per cent. Thus the
sugar-producing area Of the world has
in less than a half-century been shifted
from the tropics northward, and the
farmer Of the temperate zone, through
the aid Of science in the remarkable
Improvement Of plant, has success
fully competed with the low-priced
labor of the tropics and has also re-
Auced by one-half the cost Of the ar
ficle nroduced.

MY PROVE FATAL.
EDWARD FIREMAN, BRAKEMAN ON
THE WHEEkING & LAKE ERIE
INJURED LAST NIGHT.
WAS KNOCKED FROM A TRAIN
By an Overhead Bridge at Reymann's
Brewery in the Terminal Yards-Ts
a Member of the Famous "High
BaIP' Fast Freight Crew.

What will in all probability prove a
fatal accident occurred on the Wheel
ing Bridge & Terminal road last even
ing about half past seven o'clock, at

bridge at the east end of Seventeenth
street. Edward Fireman, of Massillon,
road brakeman was the victim
Freeman is a member of the fast
night merchandise freight on the
Wheeling & Lake Erie, which runs
through from this city to Toledo, known
along the line as the High Ball" AT
the time the accident occurred, Free
man, with the rest of the crew, was
making up the train for the run. He
was standing on the roof of the ca
boose, which lay on the track just be-
yond the bridge, while the engine was
being hooked in. The jar was so Sc
we're that on the jolt the train was
showed back several yards. Fireman's
head struck the bridge and he was pre-
cipitated TO the ground, where he lay
bleeding at the mouth and ear
An ambulance was quickly summon
ed and the injured man was taken to
the City Hospital, where Dr. Linsz, the
attending surgeon, took charge of the
still bleeding from the mouth and ear.
On the way to the hospital, Fireman
became so violent that it was necessary
for several men to hold him on the cot.
At the hospital an examination re-
vealed the fact that the injured man
had sustained a compound fracture at
the base of the skull. The injury is a
very uncertain one andyit was impossible
last night for DR.. Linz to say whether
or not the injuries would prove fatal.
At ten O'Clock the patient was doing
as well as could be expected.
Fireman is an experienced railroad
man and has been on the Wheeling &
Lake Erie for number of years. The
High Ball" run is the most important
on the road and only the most exper-
fenced of the employees are given the

BODY IDENTIFIED
That Was Found Mang1ed at the
Foot of Seventh Street, Monday
Night, as that of Edward Brooks,
of BeIIaire.

Foot of Seventh Street, Monday
Night, as that of Edward Brooks,
of BeIIaire.
Yesterday morning it was learned
that the name of the unfortunate man
found dead on the railroad tracks of
the Pennsylvania Company at the foot
of Seventh street was that of Edward
Brooks, of Bellaire, an employee of the
Wheeling Iron & Steel Company who
worked at the Riverside plant until it
closed down. During this idleness of the
mill Mr. Brooks has been looking for
work, but had failed, and on Monday
afternoon he left home, telling his fam
lily that he was going to two places in
Wheeling, one being the Top mill, and
it is supposed that at the place ne first
applied which is unknown, he failed to
secure work and started for the Top mill
and while on his way came in contact
with a train which ended his life. 1t
is not thought by those who know him,
that he was asleep on the track, but
that he must have become confused
and was hit by the train. The family
thought that he might have gone to
some other town for work. The first
knowledge of it being the husband and
father was from the description of his
clothing, especially the clothing, of
which some of the sewing was done by
his daughter When this became
known the family sent Jacob Criswell,
the father-in-law, to this city and from
the description he found that it was
Brooks, and he Immediately ordered
the body exhumed and taken to Bel
laire, where the funeral will take place
to-day from his home on Gravel Hill.
The sad death is one deserving of
much sympathy, as he leaves a wife
and three children, the youngest at
present lying at the point of death. Mr.
Brooks was a very Industrious man,
and was about thirty years old. While
not so well known in Bellaire, he was
held in high esteem by his acquaint-
ances, who extend their sympathy to
the bereaved family and friends.
