Grotto house, Margate, in the six

brought on him paralysis of the lower

the mathematics. philosophy, astron-

JUDGE OVERRULES
THREE MOTIONS
Objections OF Defense Are Not
Sustained
SECOND TRIAL ARSON CASE
Call Issued For Twenty Jury
men.
SECOND TRIAL ARSON CASE

The second trial in the case of the State
versus S. NJ. Stevens, for attempted arson,
was commenced in the district court yes
terday morning. The morning session
was taken up with the argument of three
motions offered by Adams & Adams, fol
the defense, but which were finally over
session was taken up with the examina-
ton of the jury
The first motion filed when the case
was called was to withdraw the charge
of mot guilty which the defendant had
made in the case and file a motion for
abatement. The defense coptended that
the complaint that was filed in the case
was in error and that in the complaint
of the insurance companies that Stevens
was charged with attempting to defraud
were mentioned i'll one place as insurance
companies and in another as corpora
lions.
The next motion made was to quash and
set aside the information and dismiss the
case; also to release the defendant on the
grounds of error in both the warrant and
the information.
After these motions had been argued
and finally overruled, the defendant filed
a motion for a continuance, stating that
several material witnesses for the de-
Tense were not in the city at present Two
of these witnesses, it is claimed by the
they saw Mr.. Stevens and another man

and First streets on the night of Janu-
airy l, 1903. Another witness, who for
merly was in the employ of Mrs. Stevens.
would testify that there were only two
keys to the store. and that one was car
ried by Mrs. Stevens and the other by
one of the employees.
The argument of this last motion ex-
tended into the afternoon session, and
when it was overruled by the court, the
work of empaneling the jury was COM
menced. This examination will possibly
continue through the greater part of to-
day, and it is thought that the evidence
will not be begun until Monday.
The case is one in which Mr. Stevens
is charged with attempting to burn his
wifes millinery establishment for the
panies. The first trial took place in Feb
ruary, 1904, and resulted in a hung jury,
there being six in favor of acQuttal and
six in favor of conviction.
Owing to the number of regular jury
men who have been excused this term,
it was necessary yesterday to issue a
call for twenty names in order to fill out
the regular venire. The following are the

pests individually, as in the garden.
The common method of work is to
apply paris green, hellebore or some
other poison which can be mixed in
liquid form and sprinkled on the
plants. It is we'll known that many
bugs escape this poison and continue
to live and breed, even when the plants
are dosed several times during the
season. It is to be hoped that the
new apparatus which we show in the
illustration will prove more effective
and subject the bugs to a treatment
which it will be impossible for them to
Withstand In this machine there is
q gas-producing apparatus, designed
to generate q large quantity of nox-
ious fumes. This gas is stored in the
reservoirs on the carriage. and the
latter is then driven over the field
lengthwise of the rows Of plants. IT
will be seen that the semi-circular
shape of the reservoirs enables them
to nearly inclose the plant growths for
q considerable space Of time while the
carriage is being drawn along. The
gas in storage is poured from the
front of the hooded portion, and sur
rounds the plant completely for pc

"Hurrah for George Washington" But
she would not repeat it after me. Thei
thought it might be too long to ga,
it all at once-that she probably couln
not remember it all. SO I tried to teach
her to say it word for word. But no,
she wouldn't say a word of it.
Yet she listened attentively when
repeated 1t. Then got Disguised and
gave it up till week or so before the
Fourth; then I tried to make her ga:

REAL HOME OF BLUEGRASS.

and Kentucky Got It from
the Hoosier State.

body in the southern part Of the state

at Ohio Falls and started north. At
Vincennes the gallant heroes realized
that they could not 60 200 miles up
the Wabash without feed for their
horses. Gen. Harrison had two cribs
of corn at Terre Haute. and persuad-
ed the men to go on. AS they came
on with hungry horses and scant feed
they found the ground covered with
bluegrass.

the whole line Of marc. was covered
with bluegrass.
"'rhe seed was carried back to Ken

not make it thrive alone in the warm
soil, and it had to be sown with oats
and rye. Mr.. Sandusky, the father of
the present family Of that name, told
me in an early day that no bluegrass
grew In Kentucky until after It was
imported from Indiana. Tom Down

admirer of Henry Clay, and once went
