LADIES OF ST. PAUL'S GUILD.
Chas. Cackley, about fifty-five
years of age, was arrested near
Caledonia last Monday on the
charge of obtaining a pension I'M
der an assumed name. Cackley's
story is an interesting one. When
a boy about fourteen he enlisted
in an Iowa company. After three
years. service he returned home.
One day when on a spree he was
taken in charge by the constable,
whom he shot and killed and a day
or two later made his escape from
Jail. He landed in Washington
county where he has lived ever
since. On arriving there he assumed
the name of John Beck. Shortly
after he took up his home in
Washington county he concluded
to apply for a pension. He was
afraid to apply in his own name
for fear that the Iowa people might
in that way learn of his where
abouts and take him in custody.
So he applied for a pension n
der the name of Isaac Beck, an old
comrade, whom he had heard was
dead. The pension was granted
him and his vouchers came regu-
larly for years until the real Isaac
Beck, who was not dead, applied
for a pension and then an investi-
cation was started by the Depart
ment which told the story of Cack-
ley's life. Cackley was taken to
st. Louis Tuesday and on plead
ing guilty Judge Adams gave him
a sentence of thirty days in the
Iron county Jail. 1t is said that
the Iowa authorities do not want
him for the killing of SO long ago.

Anyone can sleep in cool weather.
But TO insure sound slumber during

Waterbury Man to Run Ginseng Farm.

A. E. Edwards will leave Water
bury next week for the northern part
of New York state where he will hunt
for ginseng plants. Mr.. Edwards
considers that ginseng root and gold
are equivalent and has begun raising
ginseng. He recently purchased a
strip of land near his house, 60 by 10
feet, which he calls his ginseng farm.
This land he has spaded and mixed
with woods soil and fertilizer in
order to have it as near as possible
like the soil in which the ginseng
plant grows. He already has set
out 653 plants and expects by fall
to have 1 900 plants growing. He
has room enough .on his farm to
grow 1 500 plants.
Ginseng root is used almost ex-
clusively by the Chinese because of
its supposed medicinal properties.
The Chinese use it as a 'cure al"
for almost every kind of disease and
claim that it prolongs life. The
plant is used but little in the United
States, although within the past few
years its use in case of heart trouble
has been looked upon with favor by
some physicians. The plant grows
in North America. Some quantities
of it are found in Vermont. Mr..
Edwards in talking about its value
said that one pound of the dried root,
in China, is sold for sos, while one
pound of the seed is worth 500.
He said: at takes 5000 seeds to
make pound. ] have already Sc
cured large number of seeds from
the plants which | am growing. |
do not expect to be able to harvest
any of the root for three years. fl
had not planted good sized roots |
should have had to wait five years
for the roots to grow to market size. "
Mr.. Edwards is a wheelwright by
trade but it is said he expects in time
to give up that work and devote all
his attention to raising ginseng.
A flock ofostriches at Phoenix, Ariz,,
now numbers more than l 900 birds.
Their increase is rapid, because pair,
barring accidents, will raise a brood
each summer for 70vears. Each pair
produces in feathers and eggs about
$50 year.

TRAINS
CRASH IN FOG
Several Railroad Men Injured
in a Wreck on Saturday
Night

~ the collision of two freight trains
on the Pennsylvania railroad on Satur-
day evening. at the cutoff, at the foot
of South Walnut street, several men
we're injured.
The accident occurred shortly before
6 o'clock. The tracks were shrouded
in a dense fog. and engine No. IFS was
backing into the city from Edge Moor.
Engineer Lucas and Fireman Barker
were keeping a sharp lookout, but the
headlight was throwing its glare be-
hind. The bell was run continuously,
and the whistle blown at short inter-
walls. AS the engine passed the cross
ing, 4 white light was displayed by the
watchman. showing that the track was
clear. The next moment the engine
crashed into a freight car, hauled by a
p, G r. freight engine, smashing it to
bits and derailing engine No. 17S, in
juring the following persons;
John B. Lucas, engineer, leg bruised
and lacerated. face cut and side
scalded.
George F. Porter. freight conductor.
right arm fractured, scalp wounded
and left leg injured.
John Healey, left arm crushed r.
such an extent that it had to be ampu-
tated below the elbow.
William Conner. right wrist broken
and scalp wound.
c. E. Dorsey, leg crushed and slight
cuts about the face.
Engineer Lucas. Conductor Porter
and Healey were sent to the Delaware
Hospital
Conductor Porter and John Healey
we're still delirious at Delaware Hos
pital this morning, but it is thought
they will recover.
The collision was due to the heavy
fog. Flagman Mason, who was at tn,
crossing, saw the train in charge o
Conductor Porter approaching and dis
played the white light. He thought il
would be able to clear the Reading
track in time, but the first car of tn,
Reading shifter and the Pennsylvani;
engine reached the crossing at th'
same time.
The wreckirg crew was called out
but on account of the dense fog. moth
ing could be done until yesterday.
