NEGRO NEARLY KILLS WOMAN.
A Horrible Crime Committed Ia Lynchburg
Virginia.

Lynchburg, Va, Especially The most
dastardly crime ever perpetrated in this
city occurred when Mrs. Ralph Weber,
a young married lady living on Monroe
street, was outraged and desperately
wounded by an unknown negro man.
The brute, after having accomplished
his purpose, dragged her to the floor and
choked her, he placed his knee on her
head and with knife cut her throat al
most from car to ear. Mrs. Weber,
in her attempt to save her life had both
hands gashed, the left thumb being cut
and the ball of the middle finger of the
right hand being nearly sliced off. In
addition to this, she has big bruise on
her right temple, where the fends knee
rested.
The negro disappeared, and Mrs. Web
Der, although desperately wounded, stag
gered to the next house above, which is
occupied by Mrs. r. B. Wood. She CALL
ed for help as she went and managed
to reach her neighbor's door, where she
tainted from loss Of blood and fell to the
ground Her cries had been heard by
a colored man and help was summoned,
a physician and nurses soon being at
hand. She describes the negro as being
almost as light-colored as white man,
of medium height, with no mustache,
and we'll dressed.

Mr.. Charles N. Packard Of Boston,
Mass, who keeps himself closeted from

UNITED STATES
IS AT The TOP
Wealthiest of All The Powers and Has
the Least Indebtedness.
GREAT IN ALL OF ITS PRODUCTS.
Far Beyond Any Other Country in Wheat, Iron
and Steel Says British Statistics-lllus'
trated by Some Statements Made by the
London Daily Mail Year Book fer lSOZ Re'
ceived by the Bureau of Statistics.

Washington, D. C., (SpeciaD The
standing Of the United States with her
neighbors, and especially with those OF
Europe, is illustrated by some statements
made by the London Daily Mail Year
Book for 1902, a copy of which has just
reached the Treasury Bureau of Stats
tics. In its various chapters it discusses
various features of conditions in the
United States. Under the head of wealth
it places the United States at the head
of the list of great nations, the figures
of wealth being: United States, TO-
35o,oooooo United Kingdom, fII,8oo,-
100000; France, 10000 100000; Ger
many, B,o52, 100000, and Russia, TO-
425,ooo 900. While the United States
heads this list of countries in its wealth,
it shows the smallest national indebted
ness.
Under the head of commercial compc-
tition it says that "the first year of the
twentieth century opened badly for two
of the four leading industrial nations.
The trade of the United States was good
and showed no decline from the booming
period of 1890 and 1900, but rather, IN
most industries, a continuance of the
boom of which the United States has
had so disproportionately large share,
and France, which had responded less
expansively to the boom, remained I'M
affected by the decline and progress else
where. In England and Germany, how
ever, the decline was felt acutely.
Under the head of the worlds wheat
crop it shows the United States far
ahead of any other country in the pro-
duction of wheat
Under the head of Fight for the iron
trade" it calls attention to the fact that
the United States is now the worlds
largest producer of pig. iron and steel,
and says 1T will be noted that the
United Kingdom has lost ground, pro-
ducing 3o6740 tons less in 1000 than
in 1859, the total for Great Britain be-
ing nearly 100000 tons less than in
America. An unsatisfactory feature in
the British iron and steel trade is that in
1900 we imported more iron and steel
than in any previous year and exported
less, while the United States exported
more than ever.

WILL NOT BE A UNIVERSITY.
Secretary Of Carnegie Institution lncorpora'
tors Talks of Plans.

Washington, D. c., (SpeciaD -Dl-
rector Walcott of the Geological survey,
who is the secretary of the incorpora~
tors of the Carnegie Institution says that
he has received applications for places
under the institution and for its aid in
various ways. The popular impression
that the institution was to be unlver-
sity, Mr.. Walcott said, was erroneous.
There would undoubtedly be a complete
equipment of laboratories and instruc-
tors to enable students to follow up a
particular line of scientific research. An
administrative building, at least, was
also contemplated and probably others,
but that was a detail which had been
left entirely with the trustees.
The scope of the institution, Mr.. VOL
colt said, would even permit aid in the
carrying on of investigation by individ-
uals in perfecting inventions, although
such matters would undoubtedly be care
fully scrutinized by a proper committee
to ascertain the practicability of each
case and to guard against cranky ideas.

PHONES FROM MOVING CARS.
The Remarkable Invention of an Ohioan Is
Gwen Test

Muskegon, Mich, Specialize. F.
Bidwell, of Toledo, Ohio, gave the first
pr .ctical demonstration here of his
fathers invention of telephone system
whereby it is possible to call up and talk
from an electric car going at full speed
with anyone who is located in another
Car on the same line running in any di-
rection and at any distance.
The system is applicable to either
steam or electric roads. The overhead
trolley is used for one side of the cir
cult, and for the other a second wire is
strung parallel with the stationary troll
ley. The metal trolley pole of the Car
is attached to a second pole which oper-
ates on the additional wire by means of
a Hanged wheel. A closed circuit is thus
obtained. Telephone wires are attached
to each of the two trolley poles which
lead to the telephone in the car. The
heavy voltage required to operate the
electric cars is reduced to that used for
telephone service by a special invention.
Ordinary telephones were used

Three Months Work In Vain.

An adjournment of the Pan-Amerlcan
Congress, which has been in session in
the City of Mexico for the last three
months, is expected in few days.
Advices received by the Bureau OF
American Republics are to the effect that
the congress as about abandoned hope
of successful solution of the arbtra-
ton plan to which Chill has strenuous
ly objected, and that the prospects OF an
adjournment without any definite re-
suits having been obtained on this i'm
portant question, seem now practically
settled. Chill has succeeded in prevent
ing action by the congress on this sub
ject, and is still fighting to prevent even
a motion being submitted on the floor
of the congress which it is believed
would result in a majority favorable to
some form of arbitration, not necessari-
ly compulsory.
The United States, by its refusal to
force matters and bring Chill to terms,
probably will cause an adjournment OF
the congress without any positive con-
illusions as to arbitration.

Quicker Special Delivery.

In connection with efforts the Postoffice
Department is making to expedite the
delivery of mails in cities, new scheme
for quicker dispatch of special delivery
letters is under consideration by Assist
ant Postmaster General Shallenberger.
This contemplates attaching supple
mental letter-box to the regular letter
boxes on the streets, with view to de-
posting therein only the special deliv-
cry letters. This will be of much benefit
to sections of cities remote from the
postofice, as special delivery messengers
would make a RAPID round of these spe-
cial delivery boxes at frequent intervals,
transferring the ordinary letters errone-
ously deposited to the regular boxes and
carrying the special deliveries to the
postoffice for postmarking and then de-
livering Immediately to the addresses.
