and when the brothers came to the
stand they said that should their faith
er die they would watch over the girl.
Capt Terrebonne said that there was
one mark by which he could Identify
his daughter beyond question. When
four or five years old she had torn the
lobe of her right ear in playing with
some little girls, her earring having
been caught in something. This mark
the little girl in court showed plainly.
Mrs. Alphonse Pesch, of New Or
leans, gave important testimony. She
said that she had been accustomed
before the storm to spend three or four
months each year at Capt Terrebonnes
house. She was god-mother to one Of
his children. She remembered Alice,

Probably there are comparatively
few people in ST. Paul who know that
there is a place where they may de-
post their money, jewelry, papers and
other valuables at nominal cost, and
have them most safely and securely
guarded against loss by fire or theft.
There are just such places in this
city, as there are in every large city,
and interesting, indeed, is the working
of those modern strong boxes known
as safety deposit vaults.

COLD WITHOUT USE OF ICE.
Process to ReVOIutiOnize Refrigern-
ton of PerishabIes.

A large improvement in the refrig-
Grafton of highly perishable fruits and
vegetables during their transpor ia
ton to distant markets is the prom
Use held out to planters and fruit
growers of this section by DR.. D. c.
Lane of Kansas City. DIR. Lane has
a patented process which dispenses
entirely with the use of ice.
He was in the city Saturday night
and yesterday morning and while here
had a conference with a number of
those principally interested in the re-
frigeration of fruits and vegetables
during transportation. He had a
talk with Maj. G. M. Ryals and with
several of the officials of the railway
systems entering Savannah. Yester
day he LETT for Florida, where at one
of the points from which Strawberries,
lettuce or other highly perishable
fruits or vegetables are being shipped
he expects to demonstrate the value,
economy and effectiveness of his pro-
cess.
If his process is effective, it will be
a great thing for the growers, and by
natural consequence, a great thing for
the railroads. The ice used in a car
consumes a large proportion of the
space and means a. large addition in
weight. For the space thus used and
the dead weight thus carried, the
grower has, of course, to pay-either
directly or indirectly. In addition to
this the cost of refrigeration is a heavy
expense, and the results are at all I'M
iformly good. Oftentimes the ice will
melt long before the car reaches its
destination and sometimes the ice
chamber is not reflled. The practically
inevitable result is total loss of The
cars entire contents.
With all this DR.. Lane proposes to
do away. Efforts are accomplished by
his process by means of chemicals
which produce by their evaporation the
necessary low temperatures. The APP
paratus used is not bulky or heavy
consuming but little space in the car
and adding but little to the weight
Any refrigerator car will answer for its
use.
Dr. Lane says his process has al
ready been successfully tested and he
entertains no doubt of it's final uni
versal adoption. He proposes to dem
onstrate by practical tests in this sec
ton that it will do all he claims and
more. With the advent of the peach
season he expects to be in Georgia to
make his demonstrations.

HARDWARE TRUST AGAIN.
New York Men Claim to Have Op-
lions in Savannah.

New York Men Claim to Have OPP
lions in Savannah.
Negotiations are again on for the or
ganization of a mammoth hardware
trust, to include all the large whole
sale firms in the country. From New
York comes the announcement that OPP
tions have been secured in Savannah,
as well as other cities, with this OBJ
ject in view.
For several days a number of prom
inent hardware men have been in SEES
sion at the Waldorf-Astoria, in New
York, and it is said that they have
practically arranged all the important
features of the organization. No name
has as yet been selected, it is stated,
for the trust, which is to have a capt.
tai of $100,000,000. The promoters ex-
pect to secure a large house in every
prominent city in the country, and will
then be in a position to control the
business and will force manufacturers
TO make such determinations in their
favor as will drive all outsiders from
the field. In perfecting the gigantic
trust the central organization will Sc
cure options upon the different houses
throughout the country which will
subsequently be merged into the COM
bination. The matter has been consid-
cred for a long time, but up to this
time no agreement has been reached.
When the scheme was brought before
the public the first time it was stated
that options had been secured in Sa-
Vannah, but the hardware men here
made a prompt denial of any knowl-
edge of the so-called trust.
