The paving of Fifth avenue and
Nineteenth street will not be started
this year. This is what the mayor
has officially announced. He has re-
ceived n letter from the Barber As
phalt company, stating it could not
get the cement for paving purposes
unless it paid an enormous price,
which would cost more than their
estimate when they signed the con-
tract. When they made the contract
the price of cement ran from $50 to
S1.65 a barrel, but now the price has
gone up as high as $3.50 a barrel.
The Nineteenth street petition for
pavement is still in court. 1t is eN-
pected it will soon be ont but on ac-
count of the same trouble of getting
cement this street will not be touched
this year. Paving contracts will,
however, hold good until next year as
the mayor has the privilege of in
sorting the clause when the work is to
be done.

Mrs. S. G. Wilson Tried to Fill a
Gasoline Stove and Fise
Resulted.

Mrs. Wilson, wife Of S. G.. Will
son. well known retired business
man and real estate dealer Of this
city, had q narrow escape from
death last Wednesday afternoon at
her home on Sixth street on South
Hill, when she attempted TO I'LL
the feeder tank Of lighted gaso-
line stove. She was painfully,
though not seriously burned about
the face and arms. and part OF her
clothing was burned from her
body. though the fact that she wore
worstad dress doubtless saved
her from a horrible death.
It was between 4 and 5 O'Clock
in the afternoon when Mrs. Wilson
started her preparations for sup
per. She had lighted the gasoline
stove when she discovered that the
oil 10 the tank was running low.
Without extinguishing the burner
she filed measure with gasoline
and began to pour the oil into the
tank. In doing so she thinks she
accidentally split some OF it on the
top of the stove. for a moment
later there was q sudden puff and a
binding fash and the whole room
was 10 flames. Mrs. Wilson quick
" spsang back from the burning
stove, but the infiammable mater
ial OF her apron had already ignited
and but for her grest presence OF
mind she would have been burned
to death. She smothered the apron
in the folds of her worsted dress
and was also assisted by visitors in
extinguishing the flames.
Meanwhile Mr.. Wilson, who was
coming from the barn, saw the
fash of light and rea' lied what il
meant. When he reached the
kitchen the room was mass OF
fire, the flames scorching a twelve
foot ceiling. After satisfying him
self that Mrs. Wilson was safe he
devoted his efforts to putting ou'
the fire, which he succeeded in do
ing at the expense Of his eyebrows
part of his moustache and consid-
cradle hair, and large amount O
bed clothing. The damage to ths
house was about $40, but the ex-
perience is valued at several hun
dred.
Yesterday Mr.. Wilson cams
down town and purchased bran
new coal stove, which will replace
the gasoline cooker in the kitchen,
No more escapes OF that kind for
him. Mrs. Wilson is recovering
rapidly from the effects Of her ex-
perience, and the burns on her
face and hands will soon heal.

CHICAGO, July 28.-By an invention
of John Hammer, a Chicagoan, the
whole practice of feeding livestock,
particularly cattle for beef, is likely
to be revOlutioniZed, according to the
claim of the inventor and those asso-
ciated with him. incidentally it is said
that with the cost of fattening cattle
cut in two the price of beef is likely
to be reduced permanently, despite al
legged combinations of packers to keep
it at an exorbitantly high figure. The
rights on the patent have been sold
for $4,000.
The invention of Hammer, which is
in the hands of the American Grain
Growing company, of Chicago, consists
of large case made of galvanized
iron and about three and half feet
wide and deep and five feet high. This
contains number of shallow drawers
in which corn can be placed, in layers,
about three inches deep. All around
the outside of the case, on the top and
four sides, is layer of common wood
moss, such as grows in the woods ev-
erywhere. This moss is about six inch
es thick and is compressed by
wire netting, SO that it forms practical
ly sponge, capable of absorbing a
large amount of water.
The corn is placed in the drawers
and water poured into the moss. AL
most Immediately "a process of sprout-
ing begins that in three or four days
converts the hard grain into a mass
of tender young shoots, fed by the
softened pulp. 1t is then ready for
feeding, and is taken out of the draw
er, fresh corn being substituted and
the process of sprouting repeated.

GIRL KIDNAPPED
BY A FARMER
Her Father Says He Will Spend His
Fortune, If Necessary, to Hunt
Down the Abductor.

Special to The Globe
STURGIS, Ind, July 28.-Oliver
Reynolds and Miss Julia Laster have
been missing from their respective
homes for over two weeks. At first it
was thought the couple had eloped,
but the developments of today prove
that the handsome girl was kidnapped
by the heretofore well respected
farmer
Reynolds sold his farm, and with
the proceeds in his pocket left his
home, wife and three children, and
when next seen he was driving along
the road with Miss Laster. She is
fifteen years old. Her father is one
of the wealthiest farmers in Adams
county.
Detectives today found evidence that
on the day of the disappearance the
girl was enticed into Reynolds buggy
and compelled to stay there until out
of reach of friends. Here all trace of
the girl is lost, Her father has offered
$1,000 for her recovery. He says he
will spend his fortune, if necessary,
in hunting down Reynolds.

BOER GENERALS
ARE LIONIZED
People of Cape .own Can't Do Enouqh
- for Dewet, Botha and

CAPE TOWN, July 2S.-Gen Dewet
proved that he could evade friends as
successfully as he did enemies by ar
irving here Unexpectedly this afternoon
and upsetting all the elaborate plans
prepared for his reception. He strolled
through the streets, casually nodding
to acquaintances and occasionally to
a former opponent. Arrangements
were quickly made by Afrikanders to
entertain the famous leader tonight at
a semi private dinner, tickets to which
already stand at 5 guineas premium.
A striking contrast to Dewet's re-
turn was the scene Sunday when
Gems. Botha and Delarey attended
church. The building was packed.
mainly with women, and the service
was scarcely concluded when Cape
Town admirers stormed the pew in
which the generals sat. With diff
Guilty they retreated to the vestry. The
congregation followed, and Gems. Botha
and Delarey were lifted to the vestry
table. The pastor of the church warm
ly demonstrated, whereupon a number
of those present seized the generals
and carried them to carriages, where
another demonstration ensued.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-"The Demo-

professions in relation to reciprocity,
as evidenced in the treatment of Cuba.

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WITH NINA DANFORTH
Murder Case That Brings PerpTexity
to Massachusetts Authorities.

BOSTON, Mass, July 2S.-The state
authorities are puzzled as to a salts
factory disposition OF the case of Nina
Danforth, the deformed girl, who kill
ed A. j. Emery and is now in the Cam
bridge house of correction awaiting
trial. Attorney General Parker feels
that because of the pitiable circum-
stances of the ci.se jury would ac-
quit her. Yet, by her own admission,
and by the testimony of eye witnesses,
she killed Emery as he stood in the
doorway of his home in South Franz
ingham.
1t is the fear of having a verdict
of not guilty which causes the at
torney general so much trouble. He is
afraid the traditions of the Massa-
chusetts courts will be violated by
the return of verdict in direct op-
position to the evidence.
The authorities are said to have at
last reached the conclusion that the
best ending of the case would be an
arrangement which the state could ac-
cept without establishing a bad pre-
cedent and which would let the girl
out of the house of correction under
restraint or with a verdict which
would not be so harsh as to threaten
her already weakened condition of
mind
