The Southwick boy was soon found
and arrested. He is about y years old
and at first declared that he had been
told to steal the Ryan boy and write
and deliver the note by two men, At
terward he confessed that ne did the

had no accomplices. He expressed ne
repentance and said:

away. Ryan is too nervous and scared
to tell a connected story of his es-

THE NEW SALT TRUST.
A S3o,OOO.OOO Corporation to Con-
troll Production.

NEW YORK. Aug 25-The information
al Salt Company was incorporated at
Trer ION. n. J.. last week. with a nomi-
| nal capital stock of sl25.0o The actual
amount of capital stock which its pro-
jectors expect to issue is estimated at
So. 10000
Nothing indicates more clearly the
growth Of the trust idea for special in
dustries or the vast capitalization which
each of them will be forced to undertake
to keep control of its trade and shut out
competition than the formation of this
new Salt Trust. almost on the heels OF
the formation of an existing one. which
two years ago was reputed to control 80
per cent of the production of evaporated
salt in the United States.
The older trust, whose legal name is
the National Salt Company. was organ
lied under the laws of the State of New
Jersey on March IS, 1899. Now the Ma
tional Salt Company, with its 81 900 900
of capital stock, is become only the nu-
cleus of the bigger corporation. This
company reported net earnings last year
of s., 26T ,569.
1t is estimated that the United States
produces and uses every year about L, :
0oJ00O barrels of evaporated salt ant-
about 6CC0.0O barrels of salt. Each bar
rel weighs. $50 pounds. This equals $780,
OO000 pounds, or 100000 tons.
The principal sources of evaporated salt
are the brine wells. New York holds a
commanding place in this production,
with her great Warsaw district and the
old Syracuse district. but there are i'm
potrant brine wells also in Michigan,
Kansas, Ohio. Texas, and Louisiana.
There are salt mines also at Retsof, N.
Y, while three are worked in Louisiana,
Kansas, and Michigan, each of which has
one.
At Salt Lake and on the Pacific Coast
salt is also made by evaporating the
waters of the lake and ocean by expos
ing the waters in shallow pits as is done
in Turks Island.
The National Salt Company acquired
originally the Cayuga plant at Ludlow
vile, the Ithaca plant at Ithaca, the Glen
plant at Watkins, the Kerr plant at Rock
Glen, the Bradley, Empire, Guinlock No.
l, Guinlock, No 2, Hawiey, and Warsaw
plants at Warsaw, the Pearl plant at
Pearl Creek, and the Pavilion plant at
Pavilion, all in this State. This gave
it so per ceat of the evaporated salt pro-
duct of New York. Later it bought the
United Salt Company OF Ohio, with plants
in Cleveland. Pomeroy, and Akron, and
acquired by purchase or lease OF 10 per
cent of the Michigan production, secured
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Salt Company
of Kansas, and a controlling interest in
the Lone Star Salt Company. of Texas.
Its total production is estimated at
100000 to 100000 barrels of salt a year.
Since that time, however, there have
sprung up many independent salt COM
panies, which it is desirable to control.
The International Salt Company is ex-
pected to absorb the National Salt Com
pany, the Canadian Salt Company, the
Retsof Mining Company, the Avery Salt
Manufacturing Company, and the Ameri-
can Salt Company. This would again
give to the trust an almost absolute
command of the production. not only in
the United States but in Canada.

AN AMERICAN KILLED ABROAD.
A Brooklyn Woman Hit by Falling

NEW YORK, Aug. pa cable despatch
received in Brooklyn. dated Belvedere,
Switzerland, told of the sudden death of
Mrs William Wickham Smith, wife of
one of the members of the law firm of
Curie, Smith & Maxwell. p William
Street, Manhattan. The despatch came
from Mr.. Smith, and said that his wife
had been killed by fall of ice on a noun
tain of Switzerland. The message is brief
and contains few facts.
Mr. and Mrs Smith and their child left
their home at Il53 Dean Street, Brooklyn,
for Europe last May. They expected to
make six months trip through England,
Scotland, and the Continent and return
to Brooklyn in October. One of Mr..
Smiths partners said yesterday that he
had received occasional letters from the
tourists, and that until their arrival in
Belvedere nothing occurred to ma the
trip.
Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss Ella Vel
sor and had many relatives and acquain-
tances in Brooklyn.
William w. Smith is well known among
the lawyers OF New York. He is mem

and the Lincoln and Union League Clubs,

One of his partners said yesterday that
he expected soon to receive it.e ftti' &c
tails of the accident. Mrs. Smith must
have been killed in mountain climbing
expedition he said There appears to
be no other way possible in which falling
ice could have hit her.

FALL OF A GIANT METEoR1TE.

! Los ANGELES. Aug. 25.-with a crash
that made the earth tremble for thirty
miles around, a rneteorite OF prodigious
size and remarkable shape fell in the
mountains about TWENTY-FIVE miles
northwest of here just before dusk n

From careful comparison of the re-
ports made by fortunate observers at
many points. it is determined that the

the largest ever seen. dropped about the

been covered. The men who are out be-
lieve that they viii have fortune if
they can find what they seek.
Frank and Norman Arundel, sons of
the Mr.. Arundel mentioned, had perhaps
the best view of the spectacle. They were
in branch of Piru Canyon, ten miles
from the head of the Castaic Valley and
over them. though undoubtedly much fur

glare of burning sulphur. The effect was

they watched closely in the hope of being
able to locate the spot of descent When

stars burst forth in showers, and when 1t

lery. 1t is believed to have detonated as
it reached the earth, and there Is no

Credited with Activity.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The new Minis

quay. Senior Diego Pons, successor OF Dr.
pufort Alvarez, is credited with pos
sessing greater activity than his prede-
cessor. His accession to the Cabinet OF
President Cuestas is viewed with salts

director of the Bank of the Republic; the
owner of one of the principal vineyards
in the country and very estimable and

Apropos of this, the 'Montevideo
Times relates a queer proceeding OF the
House of Representatives. Senior Garcia
V Santos had been suspended with loss
Of salary for three months, for having
uscd abusive language toward fellow
deputy. Later on some friends of Senior
Carcia proiosed, and the chamber assent
ed ithout demur, that the salary sus-
pended should now be paid to him. The
consequence is that Senior Garcia's fault
is punished by his having had three
months holiday on fun pay. and that
the public purse is indicted of about s1l
pesos duplicate salary paid TO his sub
ctitute.

Southern Pacific and the Southern
Railway issues are attracting much at
tention. Dealings in Southern Pacific in
the last few days have been heavy, and
the price has advanced several points
without any material reaction. 1t is
undo rstood that Union Pacific interests
have been large buyers OF Southern Pa
cilc for investment purposes, the earn
ings and prospects of the road warranting
the belief that the stock will be one of
the solid investment issues of the future.
The road traverses a great and growing
country. the property is being ably
handled and physically improved under
the new mana cement. and the securities
are owned by the best class of investors.
Southern Railway. the great trunk line
of the South. is rapidly establishing its
securities on a gilt-eiged basis, and like
the Southern Pacific, is laying founda-
ton for future big earnings by building
up its lines to the highest limit of physi-
cal efficiency and also by systemat ically
encouraging the development of indus
