THIRTY MILLION APPLES
SOLD IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-What is
said to be the largest apple deal
on record in the United States
was made yesterday in the sale
of half of the Hazeltine apple
crop in Green county, Missouri,
for $4,000. The sale includes
the apples on 1000 acres of or
chard, which are estimated to
harvest 100. 900 barrels, in round
numbers, a total of 10000, 900
apples.
Four produce firms are the
purchasers of the crop. The
firms have not only paid cash for
the fruit, but have agreed to do
the picking also, taking all risk
in the way of storms or other
dangers which may threaten the
crop before harvest time.
S. A. Haseltine of Springfield,
Mo-. arrived in Chicago yester-
day and completed the sale of
50 acres of the crop to the firm
of Newhall & Son of South Water
ST. The other purchasers are
Conrad Schop Of st. Louis, the
Hannibal Produce company of
Hannibal, Mo-, and Cullom &Co.,
of New York.
Speaking of the sale last night
Nh. Haseltine, who is stopping
at tEe Sherman house, said that
he believed the transaction was
the biggest ever recorded in the
history of the apple trade of the
United States. THE fact that
the firms have contracted to do
their own picking gives one an
idea of the scarcity of apples in
the United States this year." he
said. Before these apples are
fit to pick and pack, thirty days
must elapse, and a heavy storm
might damage them to the extent
of thousands of dollars. Of
course, the apples are in splen-
did condition at present, and as
they are all of the Ben Davis va
riety they will ripeu early" Mr..
Haseltine said that with the use
of a mothcatcher he had been
able to protect the entire apple
crop from the attacks of worms
which have destroyed half of the
apples in the country.

to secure recognition. This was
continued until many became ex
hausted and were compelled to
take their seats.
1t was fully half an hour before
the chairman could secure vote
on the substitution of the minor
ity for the majority report, and
at the conclusion an even greater
uproar followed an attempt to
secure a change in the preamble,
the chair declaring all substi-
tutes out of order for the reason
the adoption of the majority re-
port carried everything with it.
The gold men saw in this de-
cision the departure of the last
hope of securing a compromise
platform, and the widest scenes
of disorder followed. During
the calling of the roll of counties
on the substitution of the minor
ity report men attempted to cast
the vote OF counties that were
not regularly represented, and
language of the most bitter
character was passed back and
forth.
The roll call shows that the
counties along the Mississippi
River were almost solidly against
reaffirmation.
The excitement over the plat
form far overshadowed the gov
ernorship, as an illustration OF
which fact it may be said that
during the placing in nomination
of candidates for governor the
speakers were rudely interrupted
At one point, when a speaker
was leading up to the naming OF
his man, a delegate asked, at the
top of mis- voice: "Who the-is
he?" And the speaker replied
that he was better democrat
than the questioner and far more
courteous.
1t was by such scenes that the
more heated part of the conven-
ton proceeds were marked.

in her body just taken, Mrs.
Charles Pelton of West De Pere,
Wis, lay on the operating table
at the Sherman hospital at noon
yesterday. AS her uncle, DIR. O.,
L. Pelton of this city, who was
performing an operation upon
her, bent over the unconscious
form of his niece a binding flash
of lightning rent the skies and
an instant later the bolt struck
the flagstaff of the hospital.
Tearing It's way through the Gu
pola, it crashed through the sky
light which forms the roof of the
operating room in which Mrs.
Pelton lay.
A shower of glass fell into the
room, striking the physician, the
nurses and the patient. Many of
the sharp particles of glass
pierced the flesh of Mrs. Pei
ton as she lay on the table
under the influence of an anes-
thetic. DR.. Pelton, although Sc
verely cut by the flying glass,
pushed the operating table into
hallway and as quickly as pos
sible removed every particle of
glass that had penetrated the
body of the Frustrated woman,
and it is now thought that she
will recover.
Meantime CONSERVATION reign
ed in the basement, in the second
floor operating-room, and on the
roof, where a fire which had
been started was making rapid
progress.
Drs. VIII Brown and Burlin-
game, who were in the building
at the time looking after the
many patients, rushed to the at
tic and attached the hose. AS
cending to the roof, they fought
the flames and managed to ex.
tinguish them.
The flagstaff lay in the street
a hundred yards away, where it
had been thrown by the force of
the lightning. The slate roof
was shattered and the skylight
leading to the operating-room
was also broken. The operating
room has a tile floor and it is
supposed that from this point
the lightning followed the cleo
freight wires to the basement.
In an operating room on the Sec
ond floor DrS. Brown and Bur-
lingame were at work on a pa
tient. The doctors were thrown
into a state of great excitement
by the loud report which follow
ed the crash on the floor above
and Miss McGier, nurse, was
SO badly shocked that her foot
was paralyzed. Miss Turner,
another nurse, was also shocked.
The damage to the building is
fully covered by insurance.

A DAILY REPORT OF
SOUTHERN LYNCH!NG
One Hundred Shots Fired bu Fren.
zied Mob at Jail Guards in
Alabama Town.


This place was the scene of a
bloody battle between mob of
400 persons and a sheriff's posse.
The mob was making an attempt
to secure jim Brown, a negro
who had just been tried, convict
ed and sentenced to hang for an
assault upon young white girl
of Springville.
More than 100 shots were fired
by the members of the mob and
the defenders of the life of the
negro, Two men and one boy
were shot by the sheriff's guards.
One man will die, while the other
two are suffering intensely.
None of the deputies of the
sheriff's posse was wounded. The
two men shot were brothers, and
sons of the leader of the mob,
who made the first dash for the
room in the court house where
the prisoner was being guarded.
The father is about So years of
age, and farmer of fine ply
sique. In leading the charge
against the deputies he tiourished
a gun in soldier fashion. After
the shooting, and while members
of the mob were IN search of re-
endorsements and ammunition,
the negro was taken from the
rear of the courthouse by two
deputies, who managed to run
him through the country for sew
eral miles and finally succeeded
in tagging a freight train and
taking the negro to Birmingham,
where he is safely locked in the
county Jail.
While on the train the negro
confessed the crime and told the
full details. The trial of the
negro on the charge of assault
was completed shortly after -
O'Clock yesterday. The young
woman, Miss Garrett, told the
story of the crime and positively
identified the negro as the assail-
ant. No witnesses were intro
duced by the defense. The ver-
dict of guilty was brought in by
the jury after an absence of nine
minutes.
Judge Pelham presiding SEN
fenced Brown to hang Sept. 90.
After the sentence was pro-
nounced members of the mob at
tempted to make the sheriff
promise to keep the prisoner in
Ashville, but he stated that he
had instructions to do otherwise,
and the mob then made it's at
tempt to remove the negro from
the court house. Sheriff North
resisted, and the fight began at
once.
Threats have been made to
wreck the courthouse with dy-
Mantle, but it is not believed
these threats will be carried out.
However, there is bad feeling

ILL-FATED TUNNEL
AT CLEVELAND
Five More Deaths at Scene o
Last Weeks Holocaust
Tunnel Casing Blown Out by Gas Ex.
plosion and Torrent of Water Rush.
Is Into Opening. Cutting off Escape
of Those Left Alive.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 21.-As
the result of an explosion of gas
in the new water works tunnel
under Lake Erie five more lives
were added to the already long
list of casualties recorded since
work began on the great artific-
ial waterway.
Crib No. 3, five miles rom
shore, and two miles beyond crib
No. 9, where nearly a dozen
lives were lost week ago, was
the scene of the latest accident.
Work of sinking the big intake
shaft at this point was completed
Tuesday and five workmen were
engaged in digging a tunnel in
the direction of No. 2 crib when
the fatal explosion occurred.
The heavy casing of the shaft
was shattered by the terrific
force of the explosion and an i'm
mense volume of water from the
lake rushed in upon the unfOr-
tunate workmen at the bottom.
Two men who are at work on
staging at the top of the shaft
were blown high into the air, but
alighted on the crib. and beyond
being stunned were not seriously
injured.
The accident occurred Tuesday
night but nothing was known OF
it on shore until yesterday. For
some unexplainable reason no
boats are kept at the cribs.
Thirty men who were on the
crib when the explosion took
place spent the night vainly sig
mailing for assistance. 1t was
long after daylight before a tug
reached them.
1t is supposed that the men
digging struck a vein of gas
which was ignited by a spark
made by a workman's pick.
Heavy iron girders and ma
chinery weighing more than a
hundred tons were forced out
of the shaft by the explosion.
The crib was wrecked. Death
must have been instantaneous to
the workmen in the tunnel, for
their comrades above heard no
cutlery. So great was the de-
struction wrought by the explos-
ion that it will probably be
weeks before the damage can be
repaired and the bodies of the
unfortunate workmen recovered.
James Williams, who lost his
life in this accident, was one of
the men who so heroically en-
tered the tnunel after the acct
dent of last week at crib No. 2 in
search of victims of that disas-
ter. Plummer Jones, who at the
time descended into the shaft with
Williams, was overcome with
gas and died in the tunnel.
Mayor Johnson visited the
scene of the accident yesterday
and Immediately upon his return
ordered all construction work on
the tunnel stopped until every
safeguard shall be provided for
the protection of the men.
The mayor said that in his
opinion the city was now justi-
fed in taking the work out of
the hands of the contractors, and
that if possible this would be
done. More than forty lives have
now been sacrificed in different
accidents in this tunnel and it's
cribs.

THE ROUBIDOU FAMILY.

Noting in today's CONSERVATIVE all
inquiry from ga. r. r." concerning a
family named "Roubidou" beg to say
that, many years ago, there settled near
Rulo, Neb., man named Roubideaux,
formerly a trapper and trader among
the Indians. He married half or quar-
ter breed Indian girl, the daughter of
Charles Ruleau, ST., commonly spelled
Rulo, for whom the town of Rulo, Neb.
was named), settled on Indian land, and
lived thereon until the time Of his death,
the date of which I do not know I
understand that he at one time made
his headquarters at St. Joseph, Mo-, and
that relatives of his were still living
there few years ago. His widow, with
some of his children, are living on the
old homestead near Rulo, and inquiry
made of them would doubtless bring the
desired information. If, however, GA.
T. r." is particularly desirous Of obtain
ing this information, and can convenient
ly do so, would suggest that he go to
Rulo in person, and interview these
people instead of writing. If he can OBJ
tain all interview with Miss Sadie Rou-
bideaux, think he will obtain any infor-
nation she can give.
