PLAYED DEAD FOUR YEARS.
Now Insurance Companies Want
Samuel Walsh.

Brockton, Mass, June est has been
learned that Samuel Walsh, who was
supposed to have been drowned four
years ago at Nahant, Is still alive.
On Sunday, June 5, 1896, clothes which
were later identified as his were found
on the beach at Nahant. This evidence
was taken as conclusive by the local
lodge Of the Knights Of Pythias, Of which
Walsh was a member, and over $500
death benefit was paid to Mrs. Walsh.
Several insurance companies refused to
pay insurance because they could not
secure more convincing Identity The
fact that Walsh had taken out a life in
surance shortly before disappearing had
bearing on the case.
According to the story which Walsh Is
said to have given to a friend who talked
with him, he has been In South Africa,
and has Travelled around the world. He
was seen last Friday, but could not be
found yesterday.
1t Is probable that action Of some kind
may be taken against him.

Seized Hereafter the Matter
viii 60 to Court.

The fertilizer question consumed most
OF the morning session of the State Board
of Agriculture yesterday. Two phases o.
it were discussed:
/. The increase in price.
2. Evasion of the tax in eastern coun-
ties.
The matter came up on the report OF
Commissioners Patterson, read before
the board. In course of this report Mr.
Patterson said:
The total sales of fertilizers from December
], 1898, to March l, 1892 were SlS,2l61l; and the
sales for December 8, 1899, to March =, 1900, were
SI977S.04. An increase of 80 per cent,
considering the difference in the tax sales.
These figures, indicating such rapid increase
in the of commercial fertilizers, necessitating
such vast outlay of money by our farmers, may
we'll give pause for serious reflection. 1t to be
greatly feared that the abnormal pr1ce OF COZ
ton, now touching ten cents, Will stimulate sucn
outlay for the coming crop as may react III
bitter disappointment when the returns come IN
lone of the most valuable points TO be gained
in our new Experiment Station is how much fer
tilizer can be used to greatest profit IN the pro-
duction of cotton and other crops as we'll
Mr. Patterson then went on TO say
that early in the trade season he, with
the State Chemist, made some investiga-
lions touching the rise in the price of
based on an alleged rise in the price OF
the raw material.
But who fixed the price of the raw
material?" asked Mr.. Graham
Il can't say about that said Mr.. Pat
tersoh.
II am informed continued Mr.. Ora
ham, that the Virginia Carolina Chemi-
cal Company owns the pyrite mines and
phosphate beds in Florida, Tennessee and
possibly South Carolina. At any rate
there IS today 80 per cent. more phos-
phate than it was thought two years ago
was obtainable. 1t seems that the more
OF the stuff they find the higher it goes
in price"
Mr.. Graham said he had found by in
vestigation of fertilizer prices that the
manufacturers had divided the State into
three sections-east, central and west
ern sections. The cheapest of the three,
he said, was the west and that was the
furthest away from the factories. He
didn't understand it, and hoped that
when the Federal Industrial Committee
came here next week they would make
some investigation touching the matter
Commissioner Patterson read the fol-
lowing comparison of prices tabulated
from large number of inquiries sent
