Greensboro, NJ c., August 28.-TThe trial
of Mary Latta for the murder of her
husband here about a month ago. which
began yesterday morning is still in prog
ress. The evidence closed at eleven O'Clock
and speeches were made for the defendant
by Messrs. Hobgood and Ferguson, and
for the prosecution by Solicitor Brooks.
Yesterday afternoon the defendant testi-
fled in her own behalf, that she did not
believe the body of the man found near
her home, and identified as her husband
by many witnesses, was that of her hus-
band, or that he was dead that he left
home saying he was going off a spree
and she still looked for him to come back.
Dr. Little, an expert physician, testified
for the defense this morning, that he had
made an examination of the so-called
blood stains in the house, and failed to
find it blood. The mans head was nearly
cut off with an axe, and this axe with
blood on it, was found with her.
An illustration of the cause of many
mysterious fires was given here While
stage hands were arranging the scenery
on the stage of the Grand Opera House,
yesterday afternoon preparatory to the
night the upper timbers of the stage
burst into flame. The fire was put out
without damage, and was found to have
occurred from a defective electric light
wire. The official city electrical Inspector,
is hard at work today, despite the heat
making a general investigation of other
wires.
Inspector of the Market Jeffries this
morning condemned beef that was offer.
ed for sale. Investigation showed that it
was cow which had been killed by a
tree falling on her and afterwards pre-
pared for market.
Mr.. H. C. Fitzgerald, the secretary of
a Pennsylvania syndicate that controls
fifteen iron furnaces, including the Empire
Steel and Iron Mill of Greensboro. says

again next week. He says that

per ton three months ago is now
bringing but $1700, but that fall in
prices of some materials used in producing
the pig iron, makes it possible for the
