Elevator Went Into River.

From some cause which cannot be
definitely explained, the Ontario ele.
vator at Buffalo collapsed Sunday
morning and sank into the waters Of
the Evans slip
The elevator contained about 370,.
900 bushels of barley, a large portion
Of which lies at the bottom of the
slip. The loss on the grain and the
building Is estimated at $350,000
Charles Bartholomy, 62 years old. the
elevator superintendent. was serious
ly injured.
Various reasons have been given as
the cause of the collapse, but as near
as could be learned 1t had its origin
in the weakening of the foundations
about the dock. II is wellknown
fact that the land about the elevator
contains large deposits of quick9and
and It is considered probable that the
accident was due to the settling of the
earth on the dock side, caused by the
action of the water on a bed of quick.
sand.
The slip has been deepened during
the last two years and this also may
have weakened the dock foundations.

Stand by The conoreesmen.

1t would be grim political Joke II
Pennsylvania, after giving majority
of 100000 for Roosevelt and protection,
should elect one or more free trade
congressman whose votes might mini
mize such a splendid result There is
now no doubt whatever of President
Roosevelt's election. In view of this
fact the election of a strong working
majority in congress is the logical CO.
rollary. The Republican program of
protection, progress and prosperity
must not be imperilled by the election
to congress Of any man who believes
with the st. Louis platform that PRO
lection is robbery. y."-Scranton Truth.

Washington, Nov. L. - President
Roosevelt has received letter from
the officers of the organization Of the
General Slocum survivors thanking
bin for the interest he had manifest
ed in the disaster and for his prompt
action in dismissing from the govern

measure, the responsibility for the
disaster rested. The letter adds:
words cannot express that which we
would like to impress upon you, and
you can feel assured that you have re
lieved many a heart by the interest
you have shown in this terrible disas
ter by the just and honorable decision
handed down by you"

War Talk Affected Prices.

Bradstreet's summary of the state
Of trade says
Cooler weather has helped retail
trade at the West and South. This Is
reflected in some recorder business
from jobbers and wholesalers, whose
trade, while steady and better than
last year at this date, is not entirely
up to expectations.
European war talk this week has
had varying effects on leading specu-
latively dealt in staples and securi-
ties. Wheat and corn note some sup
port from this cause, while cotton is
weaker despite frost damage talk and
some disposition to rally after the
late decline.
Election activity and the continu-
ance of warm weather are credited
with retarding trade distribution in
Canada. Retail demand for winter
goods is hardly up to expectations at
Interior points. Failures for the week
number 23, as against 80 last week
and 25 in this week year ago.

Mining Engineer Finally Gets Out on
Habeas Corpus Writ.

New York, Oct. 15.-F'rank S. Hobbs.
who was committed to Ludlow Street
Jail on a civil order of arrest ten
months ago, and who has remained
there since without a hearing, has heen
brought before Justice Dickey in the
supreme court, Brooklyn, on a writ of
habeas corpus. The plaintiff in the
writ is Edward B. Tuston, president of
the First National bank of Blooms
burg, Pa.
Hobbs was arrested on the affidavit
of fusion that Hobbs had obtainsd
81, 500 from him by fraud to invest in a
mining scheme; and the further affida-
Wit of Charles w. Ray, promoter, that
he believed Hobbs intended to leave the
state. The suit was to recover the ST.
500.
witnesses stated that Hobbs had re-
ceived no part of the $500 but that it
was paid over to the treasurer of a
company organized to exploit the pro-
perty, a mining claim located by Hobbs
in Idaho. A disagreement arising Ia
ter as to the value of the mine result
ed in the Imprisonment of Hobbs.
Sheriff Erlanger heard of the prisoners
predicament. Hobbs funds having
been tied up in bank by a writ of at
tachment which he was arrested, and
secured counsel for him.
Taking of testimony has not been
concluded and the sheriff was directed
to produce Hobbs in court again next
Monday.
