NO WORD FROM GARNER
FAMOUS EXPLORER AND SCIENTIST
POSSIBLY DEAD IN AFRICA.
Left New York Last July to Talk with
the Monkeys of the Jungle and
Was Stricken with Fever.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. R.-Friends of
Prof. F.. G.. Garner, the famous explorer,
scientist and author, are anxious over his
possible fate in the wilds of Africa. Grave
fears as to the possibility of his death are
entertained. Among those concerned over
the professor are the Rev. E.. E. Hale, Prof.
Putnam. of Harvard. Professor Furber and
s. A. Merrill, of the Mechanics National
Bank.
Professor Garner sailed from New York
on or about July 19, 1900, en- route to Africa.
His avowed object was to further study the
monkey language, and the interest and ap-
probation OF many eminent scholars and
scientists. including the four men above
mentioned, were enlisted in his object. On
Aug. i he arrived in Lisbon. where he re-
NAMED until the 21st, making full prepara-
tons and gathering equipments for his in
tended expedition. On Aug. Fl Professor
Garner left Lisbon, arriving in the first
week of September at San Thorme. an the
French Congo. While in this place, on the
eve of his departure for the interior, he
suddenly was stricken with jungle fever,
although his two previous expeditions to
the same place had, in his own judgment,
made him immune The exorbitant rates
levied upon him for transportation and the
money already laid out upon his really in
adequate equipment had by this time made
him almost penniless, and when his funds
entirely failed his faithless hirelings fed,
leaving him to fight the grim specter alone.
On Nov. n he wrote urgent letters to
Messrs. Hale, Putnam, Furber and Merrill,
apprising them Of his exhausted finances
and physical condition and urging that aid
be Immediately sent to him. These were
the last messages from him, and none of
the letters were received until the last of
December. Efforts at once were made to
cable money to him, but cable communica-
ton could not be nae with any bank in the
vicinity Of the place from where the letters
had been posted. All efforts to locate him
also failed.
On last Tuesday S. A. Merrill, of the
Mechanics National Bank, was informed
that all efforts to communicate with Car
ner had failed. Mr.. Merrill then sent a
cable to San Thorme In the hope OF discov-
ering Gamers whereabouts. No reply to
this message has been received. Messages
sent yesterday also have failed to elicit any
response, and Mr.. Merrill. who has been
one of the most %sanguine concerning his
existence, at last has given up all hopes.

Glover Leaf I'm Trouble.

TOLEDO, o., Ian R.-Open war has
broken out between the Clover Leaf and
the Ohio Coal Traffic Association. The lines
composing the association refuse to nave
any coal dealings with the Clover Leaf.
The trouble emanated from a dispute over
the division of the rate on Hooking Valley
that the coal lines were receiving more
than a just proportion of the rate on coal
consigned to local points on the Glover
Leaf.
After an extended correspondence, Traffic
Manager Whitney suddenly raised the rate
on Hooking Valley coal to the sixth class.
This made the Glover Leaf proportion more
than the entire rate. The Coal Traffic AS
sociation retaliated by withdrawing all
through tariffs to Glover Leaf points.
