COMMISSION MEN MAY
LEAVE THIRD STREET
Heavy Transactions in Vicinity of New
Jackson Street Market Are Sig
nificant.

There are unconfirmed rumors that
Third street will lose it's earned
title Of commission row." before an
other year has passed. Reported heavy
transactions in real estate in the vi
cln1ty Of the new Jackson street mar
ket, and negotiations now in progress
for residence property would indicate
that the commission houses will ulti-
mately pull up stakes and locate in
that locality. One transaction, it is
said, involves an entire block on Jack
son and one on Temperance streets.
Its news to me-" said J. e. Null
rooney, of the commission house of
J. E. Mulrooney & Co., last night
don't say that the row will not in time
be located in the vicinity Of the new
market, but somebody will have to
make bid for the business by erect
ing suitable buildings before it Is done.
The commission men can't. The sub
5ect of moving to the new market was
agitated among the dealers on Third
street last spring, but as there were
no buildings suitable it was dropped.
If some one cares to erect the build
ings would not be surprised to hear
Of a general move"
The four blocks facing the market
are now mostly given over to residence
property. On the corners the majority
Of them have been removed, but the
others still remain. The value Of the
property there, it is said, has increased
almost double during the last year, and
for some lots fancy prices are being
asked.

With Sale of Candy Place.

NEW YORK, Oct 18.-Abraham
Hortzan was found Wednesday night
in Rutgers Slip Park and arrested by
the police as homeless boy. When
in court the following morning he gave
his age as eleven years and said the
last home he had known was at No.
III East Broadway, where his moth
er formerly kept a candy store, but
had sold 1t to a Mrs. Solomon.
investigation was made by the Chill
dren's society, and the agent reported
that the boys mother, who had mar
ried again, lived at No. 131 Broome
street with her husband, Lyman Wahl,
and three younger children.
Mrs. VAIL told the policemen that
she did not want the boy, that her
husband would not have him in the
house and that when she sold the
store the boy went with it.
In the children's court Friday the
boy was discharged in her custody,
and she was told that she must look
out for him.
She walked out Of the court, the
boy following like a dog, the mother
never looking his way. On Third ave
nue. Mrs. Wabl got on a car and left
the boy to get to, her home the best
he could.
Two hours after, when court adj
journed and the clerks were going
home they found Abraham sitting on
the court house steps, He told them
that his stepfather had again kicked
him out of the house. The child, not
knowing where to go or what to do,
had come back to the only true friends
he had ever known. He was taken to
a restaurant and fed and then taken
to the Childrens society, where he
was kept for the night.
The boy was again arraigned before
Justice Olmsted yesterday morning
and remanded until Tuesday, when
his mother will be brought to court
and some disposition made Of the case
The boy is manly little fellow.

the patrolman was trying the doors on

place If any calculated to be full of hair
raising mysteries. especially in the early
hours Of the night. Much to his surprise,
the officer found the door OPEN He
pushed it farther and listened. From
the deep darkness within there came a
roaring. sound like the groan of ghost,
weird, bloodchilling, ominous sound far
more disheartening than the creak of a
tombstone. The officer listened for a
moment nome Then he sought his fellow Of
ficer on the adjoining beat.
There's something wrong at the I'M
dertaker's," he said, telling what he had
heard.

held After lunch Mr.. Rosing was re-
quested to hold a general reception,
and for another hour shook the hands
OF hundreds Of the voters who eagerly
pressed forward to greet the next gov
ernor.
Mr.. Rosings address discussing the
states condition and the state issues
created a profound impression and
was generally conceded to be, so far as
practical results are concerned, des-
tined to live as the most memorable
campaign speech ever delivered in
Meel5er county. The fair management
decided uror an open air address, as
no hall large enough to accommodate
more than a tenth of the big crowd
was available.
Some Could Not Hear.
A little platform was hurriedly i'm
provised and set at one corner of the
public square. Fully 1000 people were
unable to get within the range of the
speakers voices, and many of them
perforce returned to the sports and
amusements of the fair. 1t was one
Of the most enthusiastic events Of the
campaign, and Mr.. Rosing was given
a tremendous ovation at the conclu-
sion of his speech. Hundreds pressed
forward to again grasp his hand and
many Of them for the first time to
pledge their votes to a Democratic
candidate for q state office. DR.. Du-
bois made a short, but impressive and
forceful, address and was given a most
gratifying reception, as was Senator
Hart, who preceded him.
Mr. Rosing will part company with
nr. Dubois in st. Paul tomorrow
morning. Monday Mr.. Rosing starts
in Minneapolis the last trip Of the long
tour Of the state, which will end in

Despite the vigilance Of the Minneapo-

tied by burglars again Thursday. The
marauders were unprovided with a brass
band and beat on tom-toms, but still
they were discovered. The discovery was
not made by the police, however, and
the thieves might as well not have been
discovered, as they made away success
fully with a handsome haul.
The plumber consisted of jewelry valued
at $950-evidently the residue Of the rich
pickup which porch climbers made sew

overlooked at the time. A friend of the
family ventured the opinion last night
that the burglars had evidently discov-

their first visit by reading the Minneapo-

fessional pride to complete the job.

MAYOR FOGO NO FOGY,

In Smallpox Quarantine, Yet He Cleared
His CaIendar-Law and Humor In
Ohio.

WELLSvILLE, Ohia-, Oct. 1s.-Mayor
Fogo is locked up in his home. because he
was exposed to smallpox. There is no
acting judicial head of the municipal gov
eminent on this account, and no police
court has been held.
Many prisoners have been gathered In
and placed behind the bars. And there
they stayed. They could not be tried, be-
cause there was no one to try them.
At last the mayor had happy thought.
He felt sorry for the men who had spent
long days behind the bars waiting for
magistrate to say S. and costs and have
it over with. Calling up the chief Of
police over the phone, he commended:
Bring the prisoners into the mayors
ofice!"
They were brought and court opened.
The first offender, often before in custody
for intoxication, was Joe Mckee.
He was led to the telephone and told
to talk to the court. After while Mckee
put down the receiver and turned to the
chief with the remark:
He said was to go up for ten days.
That's the meanest way to try man I
ever saw.

KIND TO MURDERER,
SHE GETS A FORTUNE
Just Before Hardy Was Hanged He
Gave to Mrs. Hart All of His
Property.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. IS. -
Among many stories Of fortune found
in Alaska comes one that concerns
Mrs. Mary e. Hart, a well known
American newspaper woman, who has
not achieved a fortune, but has had
one thrust upon her, having been made
sole legatee Of Fred Hardy, who was
hanged in Nome City, Alaska, in Sept.
10, for the murder Of two prospectors-
Con Sullivan and his brother, Richard,
both formerly of Butte City, Mont.
Mrs. Hart, in a Red Cross capacity,
visited Hardy while he was in jail and
was kind to him and sympathized in
his trouble.
Hardy said he was a nephew of a
prominent Eastern merchant. On the
night before the hanging Hardy sent
for Mrs. Hart and told her he had made
her his legatee. He gave her an order
on the Lynde- Hough company of San
Francisco, for his trunk, which con-
tains clothing, a sword and sundry ar
ticles to the value of $500. He asked
her to send photographs in the trunk
to his mother.
The will is as follows:
Tn the name Of God, amen, ], Fred
E. WATKINS, Of Lawrence county, Ten
nessee (known in Nome, Alaska, by
the name Of Fred Hardly, aged twen-
ty-siX, Of sound and disposing mind
and memory, and not acting under dur
ess, menace, fraud or undue influence
of any person whatever, do make and
declare this to be my last will and tes-
lament, in the manner following:
Il give, devise and bequeath all prop
erty, both real and personal of what
ever kind or nature, owned by me at
time Of my death, to Mary E. Hart, Of
Nome, Alaska, to have and to hold, said
real property to accrue to her and her
heirs and assigns forever.
said real property consists of 375
acres of land in Black county, state of
Michigan, recorded in the records of
said county at Kalaska, county seat.
"Also 1855 acres of land in Lawrence
county, state of Tennessee, recorded in
records Of said county at Lawrence
burg, county seat.
Said personal property consisting of
some money, the exact amount of
which do not know, which, I believe,
will be found in the First National
bank, Logan, Hooking county, Ohio,
which said money was left to me by my
grandmother, Mag. Matkyns.
Il hereby nominate and appoint
Mary e. Hart sole executrix of this my
last will and testament, and expressly
declare no bonds shall be required of
my said executrix to act.
Witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and seal this 18th day of
September, 1902. Fred Watkyns."
Fred Hardy's true name was Wat
kyns. His stepfather's name is Hardy,
and he took his name. He said that he
was born in Lexington, Ohio, in 1875.
In 1898 he enlisted in the United States
cavalry and started for Cuba He was
in the Philippine war, was mustered
out at the Preside in San Francisco
March %, 1901. He had $1,000 when
he was discharged. He went to the
Aleutian islands on the fishing schoon-
er Arago, and deserted while ashore for
water.
Mrs. Hart will leave Alaska the lat
ter part Of October and proceed to take
possession Of the property named.
