} Agiam, Hungary, Sept 4. MANY
houses were wrecked and sacked last
night The rage Of the. mob was first
directed against the house OF Captain
Witas, a retired army officer, who yes
terday fired on the crowd, wound.ae
man.. The rioters erected barricades
tore up the fence, smashed the win
dows and were proceeding to storm
the place when the military dispersed
them, The mob, however, soon reas.
sembled and returned and the rioters
forced their way into the house which
they wrecked. Captain Witas and his
wife escaped. The rioters then sacked
the house OF q number OF Servians and
destroyed the residence OF mer-
chant.
Although state OF siege has bee
proclaimed in Agram and in spite O.:
the fact that the principal buildin'
and squares are occupied by troops the
rioting is increasing. Numbers of
peasants have arrived here from the
country to help the Croatians. Barrl-
cades are being erected and virtual
state of rebellion exists.
Early today mobs plundered Servian
shops, piled their stocks in the streets
and set fire to them. Captain Witas
who was returning to his home. was
seized at the door OF his house. and
dragged INTO the street, where the old
man. In spite OF his piteous entreaties
for mercy. was terribly beaten. The
captain was eventually taken to a hos

THE COTTON CROP
TIMELY RAINS AVERT THREAT
ENED DISASTER.
Activity of the Boil Weevil Causes
Alarm in Certain Sections-Flood
Damage in Texas Will Not
Materially Reduce Yield,
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The Tfmes-Democrat this morning pre-
sents the reports of its correspondents on
the progress of the cotton-crop during
the month of July. 1t may be well to
explain in this connection that the story
is brought down to the noon of August 3.
1t is important to bear this fact in mind,
because both the Agricultural Bureau
and The New York Journal of Commerce
closed their reports on July Is. Great
changes have occurred during the inter-
vening week.
1t is too soon as yet to accurately meas
ure the effect of the recent rains, as
much will depend on the August weather
and the date of frost will be more i'm
portant still. 1t is. however, the con-
sensus OF opinion that the outlook has
undergone a moderate Improvement dur
ing July.
The situation was very critical when the
rainfall came. AS all the world knows,
some sections of Texas were visited by
foods which inflicted great damage in the
particular localities involved; but the loss
was small, when measured against the
total production of the State. A more dis
qiIieting feature of the Texas situation
is the probability that wet weather will
bring the boIl-weevil into pernicious ac-
tivity. An early frost would also greatly
affect the ultimate yield. At the present
writing, the prospect Is for a large out
turn in Texas and the Territories.
Arkansas also has greatly improved. the
rains coming in the very nick of time.
The prospect there could hardly be bet
ter.
Louisiana is in statu quo, some sections
having improved while others have gone
backward.
Mississippi shows some improvement
from a condition which, at the beginning
of July. verged on the disastrous. Even
with the slight change for the better.
this State gives no promise of a bumper
yield.
Alabama now has the doubtful distinc-
ton of being the worst State in the Belt
Some localities have done well enough,
but the average condition Is low.
Georgia also leaves much to be desired,
although nothing really disastrous has
occurred.
The Carolinas are somewhat spotted, but
are on the whole pretty good. Here too
was the rule during the
month.
To sum up: Timely rains have rescued
the crop from far-reaching disaster. 1t
is too soon as yet to accurately ascertain
the extent of the relief. but there can
be no doubt that with the exception OF
the Texas fieod-district) the benefit has
been very considerable. The August de-
will have a very great inn
portance and the date of frost will be
almost decisive. The ravages of the boil
weevil constitute a special problem
which, in the nature of things. must
soon be solved.

s1xTEEN-sHoT PISTOL.
Four Revolving Triggers Make

cannot possibly get out of order, and
should any of the cartridges fail to fire.
all that Is necessary is to press the trig-
ger again to bring another cartridge into
position and fire 1t.
The handle of the pistol is the maya
zine and contains a chain of sixteen cart
ridges. This chain is moved with each
pressure of the trigger. the same pres
sure firing one cartridge and pushing
the next into position. The pistol is so
constructed that a trigger Is always
ready to be pressed, and, therefore. the
weapon can be fired as rapidly as the
operator can press the trigger. There
are four triggers. all of one piece of
metal. and revolving SO that while one
of the triggers Is ready for the pressure
of the finger another is moving the ham,
mer into position. and third is ready
to fall into place within the trigger guard.
The three working parts of the pistol
are trigger. the hammer and spiral
cone, and they are SO arranged that to
miss fire with this pistol is almost an
absolute impossibility Standard cart
ridges are used in the pistol. The weap-
on was invented by w. ]. Turnbull of
New Orleans.

Germany Exalts the Potato.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The potato is assuming a power in
Germany that can hardly be realized by
the friends of that humble vegetable in
other days. Tho farmers are raising 1t
for the alcohol il contains. and the al
cchol that 1t contains is being used ex
tensively not as a stiInulant or intoHicant
but in the mechanical art.
Experiments with potato alcohol have
heen carried on in Germany since 1857.
at which time law was passed putting
high tax upon it when used as beV-
erage and practically exemptinR IL from
all taxation when denaturalized and pre-
pared for industrial use. In 1901 some
90. e42. 700 gallons of 1t were distilled and
consumed in the arts.
Among the chief uEes to which potato
alcohol Is put abroad is that of creating
mower for machinery OF all kinds. Al
cohol power has been applied to motor
wagons for the army. to wagons in gem
eral to motor plows. and to all manner
of stationary. machines; 1t Is used IN
cooking. heating and illuminating.
For motor purposes this alcohol is sup
posed to be twice as efficient as petro-
leum and its by-products. Sometimes
about Is pcr cent. of benZol is mixed with
1t. which further increases its power. Its
use Is not dangerous. and the positive
assertion is made that when used in au-
tomobiles 1t gives off no odors.
