BUYING TOBACCO CHEAP.
American Tobacco Trust Has Given
Hard Blow to Eastern Carolina.

Tobacco in my section is still selling
at very low figure" said an eastern
North Carolina man who was in Raleigh
yesterday.
Have you seen the statement said to
have been made by a prominent official OF
the American Tobacco Company that his
company will soon make a sharp advance
in the price of tobacco?" the reporter OF
this paper asked him.
mo. I have not" he replied, "but
can tell you this l am reliably informed
that on eastern markets the buyers are
not paying as high as the limit of their
margins, taking in all the tobacco they
can at the very lowest price possible ne
farmers are openly saying thcy are no.

price and will put in other crops. If

Of such a thing being done. The low
price of tobacco. made so by the Ameri

SEvENTY-ONE BODIES FOUND.
Total Number Dead in HarwiCk Mine
a Hundred and Seyenty-four.

Pittsburg, Pa, jan 27-Three days
have elapsed since the terrible catastrophe
at the Harwick mine of the Allegheny
Coal Company and tonight at midnight
seventy-one bodies have been recovered
and brought to the surface Only eighteen
of these have been identified.
The day has been one of horror in the
little village of the hill above the pit
mouth, but even while the blackened
bodies were brought from the top of the
shaft and taken on sleds to the school
house on the Hill above, where the under
takers were ready to receive them, there
seemed to prevail in the community as
clutch that repressed their natural feel
ings Of passionate anxiety and sorrow, the
grim realization that there is still much
work to be done before the full extent of
the catastrophe has been realized.
The Allegheny Coal Company tonight,
in an official statement positively admitted
that all of the men who were worked
when the explosion oct AIRED, are dead
There are III names on the list. which
does not include SelWyn M, Taylor or the
two men who were on the tlpple above
the mine shaft when the explosion came.
Nor does the list include the name Of
Daniel Lysee, Of Castle Shannon, whose
body was found in the mine this morning
He was one of the men who went down
in the mine to work last night, but be-
came separated from the rest and wand
cred far ahead Of the air. His body was
found sitting with his back to the wall of
one OF the rooms He had evidently been
overcome by the after damp.
This brings the official number of known
dead NJ to ia, but the list may still be
incomplete, as it is possible that some
boys may have gone into the pit to work
under their fathers direction, whose
names have not yet been ascertained.
Hutchinson, the custodian of the lamps,
says that between $50 and 100 lamps were
given cut on the fatal Monday morning,
ard no man was given more than one.

WROTE 1.-THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG
Death of Mrs. Annie Chambers KetCh-
UNI. Who Once Defied the Whole
Union.

New York, Jan. 27.-Mrs. Annie Chamb
ers Ketchum, author of THE Bonnie
Blue Flag one of the most famous war
songs of the Confederacy, as well as of
many other poems and prize writings
died tdoay in st. Vincent's Hospital, after
less than a weeks illness, in her eightieth
year Mrs Ketchum wrote THE Bonnie
Blue Flag" in Memphis. Tenn, in 1863,
about the time of the Battle of Shiloh,

then adjutant of the Thirty-eighth Ten
nessee, received a wound which resulted
in his death "a Battle Call" a song
contemporaneous with "The Bonnie Blue
F'lag,' was also written in Memphis at

FRAUD IS CHARGED.
Young Man From Nor
folk Jailed.
3. H. Brooks, Who Came Here to Rep
resent a Norfolk Firm, Charged
With Fraudulent Use of the
Mails.
Mails.

J. H. Brooks. who halls from Norfolk,
Va, a young man OF 20 years, was yes
terday evening committed to Jail by
United States Commissioner John Nichols
On the charge OF using the United States
mails for fraudulent purposes. The war
rant was sworn out 10y Postmaster c T.
Bailey, and thereby hangs a tale.
1t seems that for some time letters
and mail have been coming to Raleigh
Tor the Jones and Powell Mercantile Co.,
and considerable trouble and confusion
have been caused on account OF the SIM
iiarity OF the name with the Well-knoWn
Raleigh firm OF Jones d Powell. At any
rate. it appears that the new firm vlo-
lated the postonlce regulations by not es-
tablishng it's identity here.
MIR. Jesse Jones, OF the firm of Jones
and Powell, of this city, said yesterday
that the new concern mad referred it's
customers to a commercial agency, to
which, OF course, only the Raleigh firm
was known. Moreover two agents, one
IRON Baltimore and one from Winston,
had made inquiries about the firm and
had been told that it was not known. A
box had been rented In the postotfice,
and Postmaster Bailey, on the strength of
the above facts and others, ordered that
all the mail, registered letters, packages
and all, be Withheld.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Brooks arrived
in the city, and representing the Jones
& Powell Mercantile Co., of Norfolk,
rented a place at Blount and Martin
streets, and took charge of the freight
that had been shipped to the firm here,
as we'll as the mail. And the result was
that he was arrested, and not having
any friends here, was compelled to go to
jail In default of bond.
Mr.. Brooks was seen in Jail last night
by News and Observer reporter. He is
a gentlemanly appearing young man, and
his speech gives evidence OF education.
He said that he knew nothing whatever
about his firm except this: That he had
seen their advertisement in the Norfolk
Dispatch OF last Thursday evening, had
answered it, and on last Monday had met
MI r. c. Powell. one OF the firm. Mr..
]. C. Jones, the other member of the
firm, he had never seen at all. Mr.. Pow
ell had engaged him to work for them at
$50 a month, and his duties were to be
to come to Raleigh and open wholesale
commission agency, a branch, and check
out freight that had been sent on here
addressed to the firm. He was then to
return to Norfolk and Mr.. Powell would
come here in a week to take charge. He
was told that there would be twenty five
crates of tomatoes here among other
things, and these he was to ship to
Messrs. Arnheim and Michael of Nor
folk. This Mr.. Brooks says he did. Asked
who those tomatoes came from, he said
he did not Know. He said he knew moth
ing whatever of any attempt on the part of
his firm to get the benefit of the credit
of the Raleigh firm.

THE MAYOR IS FREE
In No Way Responsible
for the Fire, Said
the Judge.
NV the Associated Press !

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison was today ordered by Judge
Richard S. Tuthill TO be Immediately dis
charged from custody in connection with
any responsibility for the wholesale loss
of life in the Iroquois Theatre fire.
The Judge declared that the mayor is
in no way whatever guilty or liable. and
that the coroner's jury in ordering Mayor
Harrison held to the grand jury, had put
an unjust stigma upon the mayor. who
had failed in no particular whatever
either in omission or commission.
Mayor Harrison was released on q writ
of habeas corpus, which was sued by
Judge Tuthill, after the mayor had sur
rendered himself to the custody of the
sheriff
IN delivering his opinion Judge Tuthill
said:
u have gone over the testimony of Fire
Marshal Musham and Building Commits
sioner Williams and the mayor particular
iy, and l can say without qualification or
hesitation, that / find not one word in
the evidence so far as I have examined it,
which tends even remotely, in my judg
ment, TO show that the Cnayor had any
knowledge of this matter, or that he was
in any respect negligent of any duty i'm
posed upon him by the laws or by the
rules that commonly appl to persons who
are responsible for the safety of others
at seems to me it would be Just as
logical to say that because there should
be destruction of building at West Point
or nnapolis by fire, and lives should be
lost there that the President of the
United States should be held over by a
coroner's Jury to answer for an indict-
ment of a grand jury for criminal COM
plicity."
