OUTPUT OF APPLE WHISKY.
A Fresh Supply Of the Fluid Known a.
Jersey Lightning.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-After a drouth
of apple whisky, which has lasted two
years, this season promises to bring
forth large quantity of the famous
Jersey lightning. The apples are piling
into the distilleries in this country fast;
err than they can be used and quanti-
ties of the fruit are going to waste. The
storms of the summer and early fall
have swept the orchards clean of APP
plies, and thousands of bushels have
been gathered from the ground. The
farmers rush this second-class fruit to
the stills, some of which are working
night and day in order to save the ac-
cumulation of raw material. Fifty
years ago the distilled extract of apples
could be bought in any grocery store
for 10 cents a gallon. Now it brings 81
a gallon, and the real article is hard to
get. Apple whisky is still drunk extern
sively all thru northern New Jersey,
and it will bring about most beautiful
jag. Few call for it by the glass, but
hundreds carry it away in bottles. So
nearly has the demand equalled the
supply for several years that the older
grades have disappeared and only the
comparatively fresh product is to be

SETTLE FOR MILLION
Harry stratton May Dismiss Suit Con.
testing His Fathers Will on Basis of
Payment Of Million Dollars.

Colorado Springs. Col, Oct. Ii.
Harry Stratton announced yesterday
afternoon that he had been approached
by one of the executors appointed by
his father in the will with proposition
tc compromise the contest case and an
swered that he would withdraw his suit
upon settlement of sl,000,000. Attor-
neys for the executors, administrators
and the son have been in conference
nearly all day and the announcement of
young Stratton is believed to be the
conclusion that has been arrived at
Proceedings against the executors
have been postponed. At O'clock, the
time appointed for the executors to
come in before Judge Orr, none of them
had appeared. nor for an hour there-
after.
Later in the day the attorneys for the
administrators filed reply to the sem
sational answer of the original execu-
tors charging conspiracy on the part of
the administrators. Messrs. Blackmer,
Hamlin and Grimes vigorously deny the
charges of footing the estate" AT 3
O'clock the entire matter was taken out
of the county court and transferred to
the district court on a writ of certiorarf,
issued by Judge Cunningham, of the
district court. This writ was secured
by the executors and was agreed to by
stipulation by the administrators.
Judge Orr was notified at o'clock of
the action of Attorney Candy. junior
counsel for the executors
The bearing of the order is that the
action of the county court is set aside,
that the case now stands just as it did
before the appointment Of administra-
tors by Judge Orr and further that the
appointment of the administrators is
practically annulled.
1t is a virtual victory all along for
the executors. who have been defending
the dead millionaire's will.

New York, Oct. 1.-Lieut. Comman-
der William " Bronaugh of the United
States navy committed suicide on the
battleship kearsarge at the navy yard
by blowing out his brains with a revolt
Yer. Friends of Commander Bronaugh
believe that he was very much worried
over the manifold duties of his position
as executive officer. which are consid-
cred to be more arduous than those of
any other position of rank in the navy.
Capt. Harrington of the Brooklyn navy
yard said:
There is an epidemic of suicide in
the navy. as surely as there was ever
an epidemic of fever Such thing may
occur, and can be explained. The man
has probably been thinking of other SUI
icides. which are very sad affairs. and
then in an unguarded moment the de-
sire to try it seized him and it was all
over in minute"

Kentucky and entered the naval acad-
