BARRE GRANITE
James McCutcheon Will Dis.
pose Of His Fortune in
A GIANT TOMBSTONE
Barrels Industry Will Have
Preference Over Lawyers.

New York, Nov. 5.-Barre granite
manufacturers, stonecutters and quar-
reymen are to derive the benefit OF
the $40, 900 carefully saved by eccen.
trio James Shannon McCutcheon OF
Uniontown, Pa. He is determined
that lawyers shall not have an oppor.
tunity to haggle over his fortune.
The New York World says that
McCutcheon has had two or three
encounters with the legal fraternity,
and for that reason has determined
to administer his own property as he
likes before he dies.
Not having any relatives and having
no friends to whom he is sufficiently
attached to give them $50, 900, he will
put the whole amount into granite
monument that will tower eighty we
feet above the lowly graves in the viii
lage churchyard.
At the foot Of this shaft, Of the
best Barre granite, he will order his
own grave made when the time comes
for him to sleep there. He is now
threescore years and ten, and he be-
lieves he has not long to wait.
The neighbors, who have watched
him farming for years and years and
have gossipped wien he denied him
self some luxury to save money, have
of late years been guessing what he
would do with his savings.
Some of them have suddenly as
sumed a very friendly attitude. The
minister has suggested from the pull
pit that those who have no friends to
leave money to could do worse than
leave it to the church. The under
taker has tried to make friends with
him. Several determined adventur-
esses have made love to him.
These little attentions have annoy
ed him and he has Indignantly said
he would spend his money before
he died. The neighbors said it would
be impossible, and to show them they
are wrong he has ordered the $40, ,0OO

seven was appointed to draw up bill
providing for three new schools 1t
was agreed by those who attended the

all of whom are interested in the loca-

ent bill should provide simply for the
establishment of the schools and leave
the location until later. This is the re-

the location would kill the main pro.

draft the bill is composed of Representa-

Blume of Crawford, Cowles of Kossuth
and 1chanan of Clay and Gorrell of
Jasper, each of whom is interested in
the location of one of the schools. The
draft of the bill is to be reported to

will come up later, is expected ee the
warmest one of the session.

ALL ROADS IN BIG POOL
Combine to Garry Out Anti

FIFTY THOUSAND MEN LET OUT

Result of Consolidation of Great Trunk
Railways East of Chicsgo- Abandon
All City Ticket Offices and Substitute
Joint Offices In Larger Cities.
CHICAGO, Jan. TO- The Tribune says:
liorder to carry ouE the anti-comnlis-
sion agreement it is proposed now to
combine all the r;silro;cls in the country
IN a big passenger poe, end operate it i'll
such a manner that each road will get
an agreed percentage of the earnings.
The eastern roads have ell voted in
favor OF the scheme and q committee of
western railroads executive officers is
now at work to get all the western lines
into the combination.
The railroad magnates do not admit
that the formation and maintenance of
passenger pool would constitute vio-
latlon of the law. 1t has always been
the contention of the railroads that the
section of the interstate commerce act
forbidding pools relates only to freight
traffic and does not affect passenger
business in any way and it now seems
to be their determination to act and
fight it out on this presumption.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The Chronicle
says: As a result of the recent consoli-
dation and agreement among the own
ers of the great trunk railways east of
Chicago the entire transportation sys-
tenn between the Mississippi river and
the Atlantic seaboard is to be reorgan-
lied, involving the following changes:
The abandonment Of city ticket offices
and the substitution of joint offices in
each city and the discharge of all city,
general, travelling and district freight
and passenger agents and solicitors of
the eastern roads in all parts of the
United States, Canada and Europe.
This will affect nearly 10000 men.

Board of Control Denounced by Associa-
tion of County Supervisors.
AMEs, Ia., Jan. 19.-The third bien-
NAL meeting of the Association Of
County Supervisors of Iowa began here
yesterday. The afternoon session was
devoted most entirely to discussion of
county care of incurable insane. The
question was introduced by F. E. Nor
ris of Polk county, who denounced the
recent order Of the board of control, to
the effect that hereafter such patients
woEid be kept by the state at the ex.
pense of the county. The interference
of the board of control in the matter
was vigorously criticised on all sides
and Judge Kinne of the board was es-
pecially taken to task for his reports re-
garding the condition of several county
poor farms and insane hospitals which
he visited for the purpose of inspection.
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that the counties can take as good care
of harmless and incurable insane as the
state; that they can do it cheaper and
that the association advocated the
maintenance of these unfortunates at
home near their friends.
