comes as an echo of the absorp-
tfon of the Carnegie company by
the United States Steel Corporation
was closed today before Marshall

court, acting as special conniss

fer of over $5,ooo,o 900 of stock of the

Harrisburg. Pa, Aug 30-Per-
sistent rumors were in circulation
today that special session of the
legislature may be called by Gov
ernor Stone in the interest of the
legislation looking into the matter
of arbitration of the strike in the
anthracite region. 1t is understood
that should there be a popular de-
mand for calling the legislature to-
gether, a demand imperative and
unmistakable, representing the
great mass of the people who have
indirectly suffered by the coal
strike, the governor would be con.
strained to call an extra session.
While no confirmation of these
rumors can be secured from an Of
final source it is stated tonight
that a legislative solution of the
grave situation in the strike is pos
sible.

Automobile Accident
Other News,

Waseca, Mimi, Aug 3o-Two
persons we're killed, three fatally
Injured and more than score hurt
tonight in the wreck of a train
which had been hurled down an
embankment by tornado. A west
bound train OH the Chicago & North
western r R, consisting of an en-
gine, a baggage Car, and two crowd
ed passenger coaches was struck
by tornado while running at the
rate of 35 miles an hour two miles
from Meridian. The passenger and
baggage cars were hurled Is feet
down the embankment to the
fence guarding the right of way.
A brakeman was lighting the lamps
when the crash came and the
wreckage was ignited by the spill
ing oil.
The engineer is reported to have
seen the tornado in apparent pur-
suit of the train and scarcely an
instant before the wind struck the
cars the train gave lurch in a
sudden squirt to evade the funnel
shaped fury. 1t was $40 when the
train was struck. Fully an hour
and a half elapsed before the
wrecking train arrived.
The engine did not leave the
track, the baggage and passenger
coaches having been twisted off
and hurled downward to the bot.
tom. The baggage car was shat
tered to splinters. The two dead
were jammed in the wreckage and
their. bodies cut out with axes. It
is feared that more bodies may be
found under the debris and wreck
ing gangs sent from Waseca, are at
work on the shattered cars.
The brakeman who was lighting
the lamps in one Of the passengers
coaches when the tornado struck,
cannot be found tonight. It is
feared his body may be in the
wreckage. Passengers saw him
strike the under side of the coach
with terrific force and at the same
time he lamp that he had
been trimming was smashed into
splinters.
The injured and the bodies of
the dead were brought to Waseca,
by physicians who attended to the
seriously injured.
London, Aug 22-The Essex
county Chronicle says it hears that
Cecil Rhodes bequeathed to the
countess of Warwick lands in
South Africa which have been sold
for $1,000, 900.
The Earl and Countess of War
wick have an estate in Essex. The
Countess formerly Lady Bourke,
the famous beauty known as "bab-
bling Bourke,' was given that nick.
name because it was supposed it
was she who first whishered the
baccarat scandal in which King
Edward, then Prince of Wales,
figured years ago. The Countess
founded Brooke house at Reading
for the training of women and later
added to it, colonial department
in which women are taught cook
ing, housewifel :, laundry work and
dressmaking. Some time before
the death of Rhodes the countess
published an article on Training
Girls for the Transvaal." III which
she appealed to Andrew Carnegie
for aid in the work.
At the time some Of the provis-
ions of Mr. Rhodes will were made
public and it was reported that
he had left large sum to the
Earl and Countess of Warwick
because the Countess, more than
any other Englishwoman, best
personifed British Imperialism.
The report was denied at the time.

beyond her was a spirited horse at.

Suddenly lone of the women
turned over the carriage which she
was pushing and its occupant, a
tiny baby. fell out and rolled dir
ectly under the horse. "Oh! My
heaven! My baby will be crushed
screamed the mother. Even then
the horse was moving restlessly
and its right forward foot was
raised in the air as if he would
bring it down upon the little frame
lying PROSTATE and helpless be-
meath its feet.
Like fash Miss Sweet sprang
from the side walk and seized hold
of the up lifted foot. The horse
began to prance but the Pough-
keepsle girl clung to his hoof and
it was only a matter of seconds
before strong hands grasped the
animal by the head and another
pulled the baby from its precar-
ious position.

Colfax, Washington, Aug 3d.
At Garfield, 19 miles north of here,
burglars entered the O r & N Co.'S
depot last night and blew open the
safe and escaped with 1915 and es-
capped, leaving no clew. The work
was evidently done by experts.
The depot stands near the business
center of the town but the robbery
was not discovered until this
morning.
The safes in both the O R & N
and Northern Pacific depots at
Garfield have been blown open half
a dozen times in the past few years
Garfield is only. nine miles from
Palouse where the postofice safe
was blown open and $500 taken.

Berlin, Aug 3o-The price of
meat in Germany continues to rise,
and the town councils and other
bodies and the newspapers in every
part of the country are discussing
what is called a ''meat famine"
The Butchers Guides advanced
the price of meat this week from
21z to 5 cents per pound, A good
steak costs Al cents in Berlin.
Meats are generally reported statis-
tically 26 per cent higher there
now than in 1900, although in Rot
terdam. Paris, Vienna and Buda-
pest tyhe are only 10 per cent high
er. Germany's more rapid adtence
is attributed to the scarcity of home
animals, the exclusion of foreign
livestock and and the prohibition
of canned meats thus suspending
large American imports. Ham
burg figures show that the imports
of American salt and smoked meats
in 1901 were only 128,Soo metric
hundred weight against 3o5, Zoo
in 1898. The import of sausages
have shrunk in the meantime from
$4,000 to $50 metric hundred
weight and American canned meats
from "a, 600 to 18, 800 metric hund
ed weight. Berlin slaughtered in
July 511o fewer animals than in
July 1901, in spite of the increas-
population, and the slaughterings
were further diminished in Aug
ust. The officials of the kingdom
of Saxony report 5 per cent de-
crease in the slaughtsrings since
1901 and a great lack of animals
suitable for butchering.
A number of important NUM-
cipalities have petitioned the gov
ernment to open the frontiers to
livestock. The Prussian ministers
of agriculture, Herr Podbielski,
replying to a deputation of the
Posen council said that it was i'm
possible to with draw the exclus-

1.-THE HOUND OF
THE BASKERVILLES."
A. CONAN DOYLE'S GREAT STORY.

The Savannah Morning News having
secured the right from Mcclure, Phil
lips & Co.. the publishers of the book,
will publish this story as a serial, be-
ginning July 6. The story will be in
twelve installments and will appear
in the Sunday issue. 1t is DIR. Doyle's
greatest story. 1t rises to the hight of
genius.
AS 1t is an adventure of Sherlock
Holmes, of course it is a detective
story. The plot, in one particular at
least, resembles that of Poe's MUIR
ders in the Rue Morgue" but with the
important difference that the action in
one was the result of accident, in the
other Of design. So perfect is the con-
struction that even when the reader
arrives at the end, it is difficult to look
back and find any element or incident
that is unnecessary or misapplied. It
has been pointed out that ability to
construct a puzzle does not necessarily
imply ability to solve one that another
has constructed. Poe proved that he
had both gifts when he analysed the
mystery Of Mary Rogers and arrived
at a solution that was undoubtedly
correct.
The opening account of the curse of
the Baskervilles; the horrible story of
the end of Sir Charles, who was
stricken dead by heart disease when
he was pursued down the path in
front of his own house by the aveng-
ing hound; the escaped convict; the
ponies plunging to death in the slime
of the moor; the chase after the sus-
pected butler down the corridor OF
Baskerville Hall-these and many 9TH
er episodes are told with all DR.. Doyle's
usual skill.
The final clearing of the murder niys-
terry Is thrilling But after all, the I'M
portant thing is that the reader should
be kept in the dark as long as possible.
This is done admirably. Like Sherlock
Holmes assistant Watson, YOU suspect
everybody but the right person until
toward the close. So there is no ante
climax
At the same time the last chapter,
In which Holmes goes over the whole
case and sums up as if he were ad-
dressing jury, is neither necessary
nor artistic. When the curtain is down
at the play it is better to go to sup
per and then to bed, and not have the
leading man take you behind the
scenes Why Mr.. Holmes came to this,
that or the other conclusion is hardly
worth knowing-after it is all over On

{ the other hand it is amusing to lis
ten to him telling why a thing is so
while he is on the trail.
Holmes is at his best in a scene like
the following. He had suddenly no.
ticed portrait on the dining-room
wall of Baskerville Hall. He learned
that it was the original villain of the
family.
Holmes said little more, but the pic
ture Of the old roysterer seemed to
have a fascination for him, and his
eyes were continually fixed on it dur
ing supper. 1t was not until later
when Sir Henry had gone to
his room that / was able to follow the
trend of his thoughts. He led me back
into the banqueting hall, his bedroom
candle in his hand, and he held it
against the time-stained portrait on
the wall
do you see anything there?"
Il looked at the broad plumed hat,
the curling love-locks, the white lace
collar, and the straight face that was
framed between them. 1t was not a
brutal countenance, but it was prin,
hard and stern. with a frm-set, thin
Tipped mouth and a coldly intolerant
eye.
Sc Ii It like anyone you know?'
There is something of Sir Henry
ABOUT the Jaw.
Just a suggestion, perhaps. But
wait an instant. He stood upon a
chair, and holding the light in his left
hand he curved his right arm over the
broad hat and round the long ringlets.
Good Heavens!' l cried in amaze
ment.
THE face of Stapleton had sprung
cut of the canvass.
Hal You see it now My eyes
have been trained to examine faces and
not their trimmings. 1t is the first
quality of a criminal Investigator that
he should see through a disguise.
But this is marvellous. 1t might
be his portrait?'
Yes, it is an interesting instance of
throw back, which appears to be
both physical and spiritual A study
of family portraits is enough to con-
vert man to the doctrine Of reincar-
nation. The fellow Is a Baskerville
that is evident
With designs upon the success
sion.'
Exactly. This chance Of the pic
ture has supplied us with one of our
most obvious missing links. We have
him, Watson, we have him."
Those who have never met Mr.. Sher-
lock Holmes before will be driven to
read of his other adventures by this
book: Those to whom his deeds are
FAMILIAR will have their respect for
him deepened."

the present Lord Hope. In 1874 there
turned up in Geneva another blue dia-
mond, exactly matching the Hope dia-
mond in size and color, and experts
believe this gem, known as the Bruins
wick diamond, and the Hope diamond,
are the halves of the lost Tavernier
jewel.
The Hope diamond did not pass out
of the hands of the Hope family until
last year. Lord Francis Hope, best
known in this country as the husband
of May Yohe, the actress, made several
efforts to sell it, but the courts held
that it was entailed and could not be
sold Early last November, however,
permission was finally granted by the
High Court of Chancery for the sale
of the stone, and within a month it
was in the United States.
