MURDER AND ROBBERY.
shocking Crime in MiiIerton Just Over
 State Line.

| ' e Lakeville, Aug. 2s,Myron Wooden, a
 farmer of Chapinville in, this town, was
 found lying at the rear of Borden's
 condensed milk factory in Millertown,
 just over the state line in New York,
 yesterday in terribly battered con- tsdition, and few hours later he died.
 His skull was crushed and few feet
 from him was found d heavy club, one
 end of which was sneared with blood, so there seems to be no doubt that
 he was murdered, evidently for the pur- pose of robbing him, as members of the family to-day stated that when he left his home he had with him over $500 in cash and a draft for a small amount of money. When found, the money was gone, but the draft and a
 watch were found on him. There was
 every evidence of a terrible assault, and an investigation was immediately be- gun which resulted in the arrest of Ja- cob Holder of Salisbury. It was learn ed that Wooden and Holder were drink ing together in Salisbury early in the day, and that the two had started out in the direction of Millerton A coron- CTS inquest was held and Holder was subsequently released as there was no evidence strong enough to hold him even as suspect, as he proved that he left Wooden several hours before the latter was found In Millerton. It
 is evident from the marks on the
 ground at the rear of Borden's factory that Wooden had been dragged there from some distance. He was found be- hind a small shed and his condition was such that he was unable to make any statement whatever. He was uncon-
 scious, and he was quickly hurried to
 his home where he died late in the day.
 Wooden was sixty-nine years old, and
 was prosperous farmer. The day on
 which the assault took place he had sold his dairy consisting of over fifty COWS, aside from other farm stock. All
 the money that he received from this sale was with him when he left his
 home. He leaves a family.

 in Lake Quassapaug.

Naugatuck, Aug. 2S.-Joseph Hen drickson, painter. formerly of New York, was drowned in Quassapaug lake this morning and his body was found a few feet under water by his friends this afternoon.

The men took off some of their clothes and a sudden gust of wind carried Hendrickson's into the water. He went in after the clothes and placed them on a cliff at the northwest end of the lake to dry. About 10 o'clock this morning he went for them, slipped off the cliff and, striking on his head on a sharp rock, toppled off into the lake anE drowned in four feet of water.

VIII Cease Political Activity and
 Leadership After January I.
 Albany, Aug. 2S.-T To%morroW is the birthday Of David B. Hill of this city, who will be sixty-one years old, having been born on August 29, 1S43. In con yersation with some political friends here to-day he announced that no mat ter what the result of the present cam paign might he either in the state or nation, he should retire from political activity and leadership on the first of January next and would ont in the event of democratic success accept any position under the national or state democratic administrations, or again become a candidate for election to any office whatever. He stated that he had intended to take such action a year ago to-day but was persuaded by some close personal friends to defer doing so until after the presidential election this year, which he constnted to do. Hav- ing been engaged in active politics since his youth and having served the people as city attorney, alderman, mayor, member of the legislature, lieu tenant governor, governor for seven years and United States senator for six years, he feels that on the one hand he has been sufficiently honored by his party, and on the other hand that he has rendered political service during period of year sufficient to entitle him to be relieved from further active polit- ical effort, in order that he may de- vote more time to his personal affairs and professional duties than he has in the past

LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS
 PLEDGE THEIR SUPPORT
MENIN SUBWAY MUST RECEIVE
 S3.5O PER DAY.

Contention Unanimously Upheld and
 Refusal of General Manager 8ryan's
 Terms Endorsed - Probability of
 Strike on the Elevated Not Discussed
 Matter Left for Settlement in the
 Hands of Grand Lodge. .-.5.
 New York, Aug. 2S.-Fifteen hundred members of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, representing locali- ties within 800 miles of New York, at a meeting here to-day unanimously voted to support the contention of the motor engineers employed on the elevated road that the men employed in the sub- way shall be paid the union wage of $S.5O for nine-hour day insteadlof $3 for 3 ten-hour day, the rate at which General Manager Bryan, of the Inter- borough Rapid Transit company, pro- poses to pay the subway motormen. Grand Chief Warren s. Stone, of Cleye- Hand, and Assistant Grand Chief Ed ward J. Hurley, of Boston, will remain here tomorrow and probably Tuesday .to try to settle the difficulty with the Interborough. The men would not dis cuss the possibility of a strike being or dered on the elevated in case MT. Bryan does not grant the demands of the brotherhood.
 Besides the discussion of local condi- tions, the meeting considered the ques- tion of the introduction generally of electricity in place of steam power on railroads, not only in the vicinity of New York, but also throughout the country. The men are convinced that this is coming mere quickly than is commonly believed, and the greater part of to-days session was devoted to the consideration of this subject.
 Addresses were made by D. s. McCar- thy, of Providence, J. ". Watson, of Syracuse, J. Clark, of Binghamton, W. E. Fuch, president of the insurance as- sociation of the brotherhood, and oth- CTS. The whole matter of the settle- ment of the local difficulty was left in the hands of the grand lodge, repre- Isented by Grand Chief Stone and As- sistant Grand Chief Hurley.
 Representatives of the local in Brook lyn, where the motor engineers are paid only $3 day, were present at the meeting. They are, to certain extent, dissatisfied, and it is said they will de- mand the same wages they received as engineers when their contract with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company ex- pires in a few weeks.

DECREE OF TALMUDIC LAW.
Wives of Jewish Soldiers All Given
Conditional Divorce.

According to the Jewish World, q
very touching editorial appeared in a
recent issue OF the Hebrew Daily
Hazefirah of Warsaw, Poland, where
he editor Mr.. Sorolow, calls atten.
ion to the Talmudic law which re-
luires every married man before go.
ng on the battlefield to grant a con.
iitional divorce to his wife, that she
nay remarry II he does not return
within a reasonable time after the
end of the war;
The rabbis of LODI have caused all
The Jewish soldiers that left that city
!or the seat of war to grant such d.
forces, and Editor Sorolow suggests
that the example of LODI should be
copied all over Russia.
Every married soldier, volunteer or
reserve, registers with a rabbi his
aamc, address, age, height, birth
marks, name OF company and regl
mcnt he joins, and the rabbi keeps a
record of same until the soldier re-
turns from the war.
If a reasonable time after the close
of the war elapses and the soldier
does not return, he is counted among
the lost and unidentified dead, and his
wife obtains the divorce from that
rabbi granting her the right to re.
marry.

IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION.
Comparisons That Give an Idea Of 10
Magnitude.

Magnitude.
To realize the magnitude of thu
production of iron aid steel in this
country during one year, one has to
employ much larger standards of com
parison than pounds and tons. Fol
instance blast furnace large enough
to receive at one charge all the metal
that passes through all the blast fur
naces Of the country In one yea,
would have to be built to contain
2,00O,O00,OO0 cubic feet. Or to use
the slightly more conceivable compar
ison, it would have to be twentyfouI
times as large as the great pyramid OF
Cheops. The coke used in the process
of manufacture would, II piled up in
a column 400 feet square, reach $500
feet up into the skies, and the iron
ore from which all the products are
made, would. if piled up In a column
one-fourth of the bulk Of that coke
reach just as high as the former
some 34,636,121 tons. If all the cal
rails were rolled into one huge rail
tho dimension would be l 1-5 miles
long, 81 feet high, 81 feet across the
base, and 43 feet across at the top
being wide enough to accommodate a
locomotive and its tender. One huge
wire nail containing the metal an
nually drawn into such form would
make a column 1000 feet high and 81
feet square, overlapping the renowned
Eiffel Tower at Paris. The cut nails
would reach to the heights of the
Washington monument, and would fal
overtop the Park Row building, the
highest in the world.

U. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA

Of Other Digestive Remedies

These Remedies Do Not Reach tho

The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
Is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce arti'
ticial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach TO perform digestion
in natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial meth.
DDS or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dyspcp.
STA than all other remedies combined,
simply because it cures catarrh wherever
located. If catarrh is located in the head,
Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened it.
self in the throat or bronchial tubes,
Pcruna cures it, When catarrh becomes
settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it,
as well in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Perunia is catarrh remedy.
Pcruna cures dyspepsia because it is gen.
orally dependent upon catarrh
