A SECOND SUIT
FILED BY A NEGRO WOMAN VS
 THE COTTON BELT.
She Alleges That She Was "Worked'' by Attorney AItheimer and Mis-
 represents Him in Complaint.

The following special was recently sent out from Helena:
 "A damage suit against the Cotton Belt railway was filed in the Federal Court in this city yesterday by Mary Jane Norman, a negro woman, who wants $20000 for the loss of both legs. The allegations are that in De- cember, 1899, she boarded a train on the defendants road at midnight, bounded for Altheimer station: that the train slowed down on reaching her destination, but that it started forward violently as she reached the platform, throwing her under the coach and crushing both legs so that amputatlon was necessary in order to save her life She alleges that Maur- ice L. Altheimer an attorney for the road, induced her, while she was un- der the influence of narcotics and in great bodily pain, to sign release pa pers, promising her the sum of s70O, VI w iihSi Ollly udS UcGn paid, The case will come up next week in the Federal Court
 In justice to the Cotton Belt and Mr. Altheimer, who has been some what misrepresented in the item or the complaint of the negro woman, a Graphic reporter called on Attorney John M. Taylor, the local Cotton Belt attorney, and interviewed him regard ing the suit. He stated that MT. Altheimer was not the attorney for the Cotton Belt, but was counsel for the Norman woman. MT. Taylor says that the husband of the woman sued the Cotton Belt last year, but the case was thrown out of court Now comes the woman who files similar suit in an endeavor to get the pre- viously refused damages.
 Mr Taylor furthermore states that the woman compromised the case and was given S700 or $500.

reapportionment the general view of Southern members in Congress is that there will be no attempt at sharp practice, whether in the case of States that get an increase or those that do not.
 Far otherwise will it be in Demo- cratic States of which the Republi- cans have, for moment, secured control. West Virginia, for instance, the Democrats will assuredly be ger rymandered out of their present seat In the last campaign in that State there was one burning issue, second scarcely, to any other-a new legis- Democrats said if the Republicans carried the Legislature they would make an apportionment, that would give the Democrats no hope of ever getting that body again unless by the mos extraordinary political tidal wave. At that time no one thought of West Virginia securing an extra mem Der of Congress. Now the Republi- cans have the Legislature and will make both the Legislative and Con- gressional reapportionment.
 Under the peculiar Connecticut system, where one man in the rural sections count for as much as 30 or 40 or 50 in the cities, there has al- ways been a tremendous dispropor- tion in the population of the Con- gresisonal districts Under the pres ent apportionment in that state one of the Congressional districts has more than double the population of one other. This system which is in- flnitely worse in the legislative ap- portionment, is the means whereby the Democrats, although they have a large majority of the vote of the State, have no show for United States Senator and very little for members of the House of Representatives Con- necticut is to have an additional member and no doubt is entertained that the Republicans managers will seek in the readjustment of Congress sional boundaries to get all the bene- fits. The Connecticut Republicans. by the way, howl quite as loudly as those of any other State over the all legged inequalities of representation in the South. c. Nj,

many valuable discoveries. These in

pertinent Station. supported by the
planters. While both stations are
equipped for all the work coming into
the proNince Of such institutions, the
one in East Java occupies itself prin-
cipally with questions concerning the
agricultural part of the Industry, while
the West Java station makes a special
ty of the manufacture in its practical
and scientific aspect. Uniform methods
of analyses in sugar house work are
the Handelsvereenigung, Amsterdam
and the Nederlandsche Handelsmaat-
schappij Each of these factories en-
ploys one or two chemists with one or
two analysts able to do the routine
work. The results obtained at the fac
tories are complied by the West Java
experiment station and printed pc
riodica1ly for distribution among the

course, not be as complete and compre-
hensive as that of the Colonial Sugar

supplies the interested parties with
valuable information.
The mills, all built in Europe, most
of them on the continent are, like the
mills in Queensland, inferior to ours in
power, and the quality of the grinding
is consequently below the quality OF
the work to which we are accustomed
here.
The boiling houses. such as have
seen in Java, are thoroughly up-to-
date, the machinery is of the best con-
struction and of a perfect finish. AS
to the origin of engines, pumps etc,
they are quite cosmopolitan. Mills and
boiling houses are kept scrupulousiy
clean a factor which may contribute
to the good keeping qualities of Java
sugars. The practice in Java is to boil
but one grade of sugar Crystallizers
are in universal use, and the results
obtained therefrom are very satisfac
tory. All the sugar before being filled
into containers is dried in granulatorS
and deterioration of sugar In transit Is
therefore practically unkn0wn-a fact
which should be of interest to some OF
our planters, who frequently suffer
losses caused by deterioration. Where
there is a granulator, it is not neces-'
sary to make the sugar very dry in the
centrifugal The capacity of the CEN
trifugals is thus increased and a saw
ing effected in their wear and tear.
Women are frequently used in Java for
work on the centrifugals The sugar
is packed solidly into krandjangs (bas-
kets) holding about 600 to 700 pounds
each.

eide at his home by shooting himself
in the right temple. The body was
found in the bathroom lying in .

volver lying on the floor. DR.. Foster,
who was summoned at once, found
the bullet hole in the temple and
announced that death had taken
place several hours before. No cause
