The committee held a brief session
during the day to continue the investi-
cation of charges against General
Wood in opposition to his confrma-
tion to be major general. Captain W.
j. Barden of the artillery corps, U. S.
A., who was engineer officer in charge
of street improvements at Havana dur
ing General Woods administration as
only witness heard.
Captain Barden's testimony had no
important bearing on the charges
against General Wood. He was sum-
moned at the request of Senator For
aker and is understood to be one of
the officers General Wood is said to
have asked to nave called in to refute
certain charges which Rathbone had
Indicated he would bring before the
committee.
Favorable action was taken on the
request of Major Rathbone for the
issue of subpoenaes for army officers

pare a list with statements as to what
he expected to prove by each. Major

The Housekeeper magazine for
September is an even more inter
esting number than it's recent pre-

little. The usual practical and en-
tertaining literary contents are en-
hellished by a wealth of beautiful
illustrations, chief among them be-
ing a full page drawing of F. De-
Forrest Schook, the we'll known ar

One of the most striking features
in this number is the symposium

ions of wives and husbands are in
tensely interesting, and much light

LOOK OUT FOR FAKIRS.

others should beware of a scheme
that is now being worked by some
some smooth men with great sue
cess in different parts of the state
They claim to represent a company
selling a. n%on-freezing stock tank
and those who have been unfortn-
nate enough to be taken in, have
found the patent tanks rather ex'
pensive propositions.
It is worked this way:-A maj
appears that has a non-freezing
tank for sale. If the farmer makes
the mistake Of listening to the
slippery agent and buys one of the
tanks, he is given the exclusive
agency of several townships TO:
their sale, and that too without ex
ira charge. The simple request b
made however, that he sign thre
papers. The farmers sign, and tn
papers in a few days turn int

VERY DECIDED CHANGE.

New York Stock Market Witnesses
Buying in Large Volumes.
New York, Sept. 30.-A very decided
change came owe Tuesdays stock
market. In place of the recent heavy
liquidations and further s%hrinkage OF
values, there was buying in large vol.
umes apparently by the leading fnan.
ciar interests, though it was mor than
likely that a goodly part of the days
purchases was really in the nature of
supporting orders. 1t is also probable
that some of the high grade stocks
were absorbed for investment. The
bears were not slow to observe the
changed conditions and covered very
helped in no small degree to sustain
the list, which was at top prices at the
close.
Conditions at the outset were not
encouraging. The cables reported a
situation bordering on decentralization
In London, where consols had fallen
to another low record with heavy de-
clines in the leading Americans, not
ably the steel stocks. Initial transac-
lions in this market reflected the tone
of that in London, but after the first
few minutes the market reversed its
course under the lead of Pennsylvania.
which was the pivotal issue Of the
day. That stock was openly bought
by interests that represent the road
financially and on sales Of more than
1924 900 shares made a net gain Of 81
points.
A story went the rounds during the
day that leading financial interests
had agreed to protect the market by
united action. ,Che story Was denied

James H. Tillman. who is charged
with the murder of N. G. Gonzales, edi-
tor Of the State. A large number of

the state was with a view to laying
the foundation for the Introduction Of
dying declarations Of N. G. Gonzales.
Four of the physicians who participate
ed in the operation on Mr.. Gonzales
after he was shot were on the stand.
Much of the testimony of the physi-
clans vas technical.

to introduce the editorials of the State
newspaper. of which N. G.. Gonzales
was editor from July l. 1902, to Dec.
81, 1902. The editorials in question
are in relation to James Fl. Tillman.
Reading of the editorials was post
poned so that the counsel for the de-
Tense might read them first.
Mr., Gonzales, on cross-examination,
said the relations between his brother
end Mr.. Tillman We're not pleasant,
but he had heard his brother
use abusive language in regard to
Tillman.
The defense objected to all the tes-
tfmony relating to the carrying of a
