RAILROAD WAS OWNED
BY THE F0Y COMPANY
Interesting Development in the Lat
est PeonaEe Case.

The most interesting development in
the attention of the United States au-
thorities came to light yesterday morn
ing when announcement was made that
the railroad on which Mitchell and
Jones, the alleged poems were put to
work, was owned by the Foy Manu-
featuring Company.
The circumstances of the case, as
related in the Morning News, have
been confirmed by the United States
authorities. After the charge of lar
ceny of a meal had been lodged against
Mitchell and Jones, and the six months
sentence on the changing imposed
the men, it is alleged were put to work
in Bulloch county on a railroad in the
course of construction by the Foy
company.
Deputy Marshal Wilson did not make
his trip to Effingham county, as con-
templated, owing to the fact that the
authorities here were somewhat in
doubt as to just what ground on which
to make their demand for the three
negroes now serving on the gang.
1t was first suggested that a charge
of contempt of court be lodged against
them on the ground that they had re-
fused to honor the summons of the
commissioner to appear as witnesses
in the case against Jackson. Knowing
the excuse which would be offered
however, this ground was abandoned.
1t now seems proba BILE that unless
the state authorities give up the men
of their own free villa course which
they do not seem inclined to pursue
that habeas corpus proceedings will be
instituted. The action of the govern
ment in the case is anxiously await
ed. owing to the prominence of the
men who employed jackson.

who, creditors of Daniel ]. SuIly allege.
was partner of Sully. was before
! McGrane Coke. referee, to-day for ex-
animation in the hearing in bankrupt
cy of the cotton brokerage firm of d.
j. Sully & Co. Mr.. Sully was present
when the hearing opened.
| In response to questions from Mr..
! Boothby of counsel for the trustees.
Mr.. Ray said he is vice president of
half dozen affiliated tobacco compa-
MES and has known Mr. Sully more
than year. He was at Mr. Sullys Of
flee but twice and with David Hawley.
He could not remember the office adj
dress.
Mr. Ray said he had transactions
with d. j. Sully & Co, the firm buying
and selling cotton futures for him. He
communicated with the firm by tele-
phone, but never in writing, and met
Mr.. Sully at the Waldorf. Mr.. Ray
said he frequently met Mr. Sully in
Mr. Hawley's apartments.
Producing a statement of the bust
ness done with Sully & Co., Mr. Ray
was asked concerning an item showing
mat on March 8, $4,000 bales OF cotton
were bought for joint account of F.
H. Ray and Daniel ]. Suly.' The
witness said that was the way Sully

lie knew Sully kept the account that
way, but he did not object.
1t was not until after the failure. Mr.
Ray said. that he noticed that the
statement sent to him showed it was
for joint account" To other oues-
lions by Mr.. Boothby, Mr. Raw said
ne was always particular about his Or
ders, because several other persons
We're interested in every deal he made.
About another transaction, Mr.. Raw
said he took half a purchase of $500
bales Sully had made for Hawley andA
Fay and Sully after Mr.. Hawley had
repudiated his share. The talk was
over the telephone, and Mr. Raw ex-
planned that he thought Mr. Sully said
five or seven hundred bales, and il
was not until a statement was rem
dered that he said the figures were
500. The statement was made out
as the former statement to, "joint ac-
count No. s."
Did you see Mr.. Sully on March
17?" asked Mr.. Boothby.
Il did. L rode down as far as Ill
L MN avenue, my once, in his auto
mobile; Mr. Hawley was there also"
Mr.. Sully's failure was announced on
March is.
What occurred during that ride?"
"Mr. Sully wanted to buy cotton.
He said he would take $1,000 bales if
Mr. Hawley and I would take $1,000"
Did you buy.?"
Mr.. Hawley said he did not want to
buy any more, but l told him it looked
good and we agreed to take $500 bales
each"
WAS the cotton purchased. ?"
Mr.. Sully told me over the phone
10000 bales had been bought. l think
il was part May and part June deliv-
cry"
Mr.. Ray said he met Mr.. Sully again
early in the evening, adding: Later
in the evening Sully came to Mr. Haw-
ley's house where l was and suggested
buying more cotton. l told him l had
enough. He told Mr.. Hawley cotton
looked weak and he would need some
margin. Sully said if the market fell

carry it,"

CHOICE MISCELLANY
No "BInnks" For Krag Rifles.

at is not generally known that when
a squad Of United States regular sol
diers fires a salute with what purport
70 be blank cartridges they are really
firing bullets" said an employee OF
Frankford arsenal recently. Continu-
ing, he said:
"Of course the only effect sought In
salute is the production of noise, and
in the old days Of the Springfield rifle,
with its perfectly straight cartridges
IL was easy to load n blank with a
charge of black powder and paste
board wad and insure its proper con
finement by n heavy crimp at the end
of the shell. With the new Krag and
its bottle necked shell the powder can
not be properly confined without pro
jectile Hence we make n fake bullet
of paper, into the nose Of which we In
sert few grains Of powder. Now
when the rifle is fired the paper bullet
leaves the muzzle with all the initial
velocity OF the real steel Jacketed pro-
1ectile. The intense friction produced
by such velocity causes the powder In
the paper to explode and after the
paper to the four winds within five
feet of the gun muzzle. e."-Philadelphia

A WONDERFUL FACTORY.
The SIeepIeSs and Hdsy WorISmen OF
the Human Body.

Andrew Wilson, the English sCien-
fist, says the human body Is work
shop. THE manufacturers are the
cells which form the essential parts
of every gland. Indeed cells appear be-
fore us as the vcritable workmen Of
the whole body, ranging from nerve
cells, which rule us, to the cells that
build up and produce our bones. Now,
I'm the glands of the body these work
men, each microscopic unit of proto-
plasm or living matter, discharge the
function of making from the blood
whatever product gland may offer as
its contribution to life's processes. The
cells which compose our liver are bile
makers in addition to their performing
certain other curious works represent
Ing the liver's duties. Other cells In the
glands of our eyes manufacture our
tears. Others again secrete the gastric
juice by which the food is acted upon
In the stomach A fourth set of cells
produces pancreatic juice in the sweet
bread, and fifth set supplies the sa-
Iva.
Tears, saliva and bile and so forth
are all employed directly through their
being poured outward on the food or
into various organs. Even the oil that
lubricates our joints represents a Sc
cretion which IS perpetually being pro-
duced and insinuated between the sur
faces that move one upon the other.
When, however we come to consider
internal secretiOns' a very different
state Of matters falls TO he noted.
Here we meet with substances that
are not poured outwardly, but inward
ly. The work Of internal secretion Is
performed by certain glands. The thy
roid gland in the neck is one of them.
This is gland which grows very
large in goiter or Derbyshire neck an
aiment of hard water districts. If the
secretion of this gland is not duly add
ed to the blood disease of a very dis
tinct type appears, and 1t is cured
when the physician administers to the
patient the thyroid gland substance Of
the sheep.
Even the sweetbread itself, though
Ii does make a definite fluid Of use In
digestion, seems also to supply a some
thing necessary to the blood, for we
find that diabetes IS always Of more
serious type where the sweetbread is
involved. Such discoveries bring us to
the very limit Of present day research
into living functions. Their most graft
fying feature in addition to their
throwing light on lifes workings is
that which places In the hands of the
physician knowledge both Of the cause
of disease and of It's cure"

MEMS DRESS CLOTHES.
BOW the Change From CoIored Gar
ments TO Black Was Effected.

ments TO Black Was Effected.
1t puzzles us often, too, to know how
1t is that for 80 many different occa-
sions black is considered to be the
most fashionable shade for our mascu-
line attire and not merely fashionable,
but the only proper one, for which In
our society there is no alternative. Ii
may be argued, as II is with the silk
hat, that II is SO severely respectable,
but If we could accustom ourselves TO
the idea the same might be said of
white, which would have the advan-
tage of being much less gloomy. Clear
ly the black is an old fashion, and as
for its application TO evening dress, in
which II Is most Of all de rigueur now,
while there was time when our an
cestors might tastefully dress them
selves in almost all the colors OF the
rainbow for the evening, the adoption
of black simply came about through
paragraph in celebrated novel, and
II is the latter we have TO thank for the
fact that we are not now permitted to
wear aught but the most solemn gar
ments at the time when we feel, to
say the least, more satisfied with all
about us and the world in general than
at any other period Of the day. Bulwer
Lytton's novel, Pelham" was the cul-
prit, and 1t is letter in this book pur
porting to have been written by Lady
Frances Pelham TO her son that set the
fashion. Lady Frances writes: "Apro
pos OF the complexion, did not like
that blue coat you wore when l last
saw you. You look best in black,
which is a great compliment for peo-
pie must be very distinguished in APP
pearance to do So" The man of the
day read these lines and weighed them
carefully, and what more natural than
that he should straightway come to the
conclusion that black was the one
shade which for evening wear suited
him perfectly? AS soon as he could he
discarded all his colors and took to 1t,

up the cattle business in that territory,

be no move whatever on the part Of
cattlemen TO take grazing leases this
year, and there Will be none. Leases
Of this kind cannot be made for a pc

WORKING A FRAUD.
O. Typical swindlinG scheme an Car
ried on Through the Mails.


One of the most typical of the frauds
carried out through the malls was one
wherein the receiver Of the circular
waa told that he was entitled to Il
priza which he lfad won from maga-
zine called the Mississippi Valley
Planter, published by the Mississippi
Valley Publishing company.
The real kernel was the statement
that the recipient of the circular was
entitled To a certain prize which would
be shipped on receipt of the freight
charges. In nearly every case the ad-
dI" see had Won premium No. 7, a
horst and Lilly buggy and harness,
valued ut $27o." With equally remark
able uniformity the freight charges
were placed 1T $29CU.
Never was II b~hble blown with less
actual soap. There never had been
such concern as the Mississippi Val
ley Publishing company or such a pub
lication as the mississippi Valley
lauter.
The fraud order int rcepted 600 mon
Cy orders and IL number of registered
lcttera. All these people, with the hun
dr2ds who Lad core before them, We're
reaching cut after valuable prizes
which they in the nature of things
must have known they had never
earned or even competed for. HE has
mistaken me for some one else, but
I'll take the horse and buggy just the
same" must have been the thought
which flashed through those 600 heads,
and IL is an unpleasant commentary on
the wickedness OF human nature. The
