. PARKER AND DAVIS

Rosemount, Esopus, N. Y, Sept. 90
Judge Parker, accompanied by Secre-
tary McCausland, arrived home from
New York tonight at 9 o'clock after an

the air and thrown to the ground with
such force that his left leg was broken
in two places. Supervisor Long, struck
by the same whirlwind was projected
over bridge railing into three feet of
the mud and stagnant water of ESQ

| HAVE DONE THE
BEST THAT | COULD
WERE AMONG LAST WORDS OF
SENATOR HoAR.
Touching Scenes During Last Con-
sSlous Hours of Massachusetts,
Distinguished Statesman.

Worcester, Mass, Sept. 30.-The
last words of Senator hOar and de-
scription of his last conscious mo-
ments was given out by General Rock
wood Hoar this afternoon in the fol.
lowing message:
Senator Hoar talked with his fam
lily pleasantly and cheerfully about all
ordinary matters and the future until
Thursday night when he ceased to
take his nourishment and stimu!ants
in the usual quantities.
On Friday afternoon he said to one
of his households: L believe that | shall
die this afternoon. | have done the
best that | could. have always low
ed this town and it people. He made
no other remarks except to refuse
gently the nourishment and medicine
which was offered him until Sunday
morning when he bade one of his
children good morning and when he
dren was there, opened his eyes as the
child kissed him. He put up his lips
to kiss her. Saturday morning he
spoke to his daughter calling her by
name. These were his last words and
that was his last voluntary act He
remained thereafter in sleep, giving
some evidence that he would have re.
sponded intelligently If he had been
aroused, until the night came. He
was not disturbed and he breathed his
last so gently that his family and
friends at his bedside and the doctor
could not tell for several minutes
whether life had departed"
The board of aldermen and coun-
ell held a joint session at s o'clock
tonight at which suitable resolutions
were adopted as tribute of respect
and token of the heartfelt sympathy
which the death of Senator Hoar has
caused The mayor, Walter Fl. Blodget,
was empowered to use his own discre.
tion in matters relating to the ar.
rangements for the remains to lie in
state.

GOLD and SILVER
PRODUCTION OF THE UNITED
STATES AND WORLD
FOR 1903.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 30.-Direc-
tor of the Mint Roberts this afternoon
completed his calculation of the pro-
duction of gold and silver in the I'm
tied States and in the world for 1908.
For the United States they were $751;
591,700 in gold and Sz9, 9,322,000 silver.
Alaska produced S8,614,700 in gold
and $775,440 in silver; Colorado S22,-
540 100 in gold and s7014, ,7OS in silver;
Montana S4,411, 900 in gold and $63, ,720
in silver; South Dakota s6,S26, 200 in
gold and S119,44S in silver; Tennessee
$500 in gold and $7020 in silver; Texas
$245,376 in silver; Virginia s13,5O0 in
gold and S., 1870 in silver; Washington
$279,9O0 in gold and $159, ,03O in silver.
The total output of gold shows a de-
cline of $6,4OO,O0 and of silver, a de-
cline of 100000 ounces. The falling
off is almost entirely due to labor
troubles in Colorado. The value of
silver is computed at 81 cents a fine
ounce.
The worlds production shows a gain
of $29.637 500 in gold and 9.1O9,331
ounces in silver, or an increase in
commercial value of silver of $6,532 400

RANDOM ACCUSATION
MADE BY PARIS
NEWSPAPER
INVOLVING SUPPOSED DEATH OF
ATTACHES.
Not the Slightest Evidence Of Foul Play
in the Case Of Either
of the Men.

Paris, Oct. 1.-Uondon Times. THE
Echo De Paris goes out of its way in
its issue of today to accuse the Japan
ese of having caused the death of NJ
De Cuverville and Lieutenant Won
Gilgenheim, the French and German
attaches who left Port Arthur last
month and have not been heard OF
since. The paper does so on altogether
inadmissable evidence derived, it says,
from the Russian consul at Che Foo
saying that towards August 20 a junk
flying the French flag was sunk by the
enemy.
This random accusation appears TO
have been brought forward in reply to
a veiled insinuation published here
yesterday stating that the two mill
tary attaCnes had been on bad terms
with the Russian authorities at Port
Arthur who felt concerned at their de-
parture as they naturally possessed
full information on the position. There
is not particle of evidence, however,
that the two military attaches have be-
come the victims of foul play on the
part of either the Japanese or Rus
slams.

COLORADO TOWN IS
ON WATER WAGON
FOR FAIR
HALF THE CITY WITHOUT ANY
THING TO DRINK.
River Rose Suddenly Causing Damage
to Property, But No Loss
of Life.

Trinidad, Col, Sept. 30.-The food
caused by the Purgatoire river has
nearly subsided and it is possible now
to estimate the damage which, count
ing the losses in more distant parts not
yet heard from in detail, will reach
nearly million dollars.
The food was the result of a ter
rife rainstorm which lasted for two
days and finally led to the inunda-
tion of a large portion Of this city.
During the night the river rose about
20 feet, breaking from deep chan
mel about o'clock in the morning
and flooding nearly half square mile
Of residential and business streets.
Every bridge across the river but
one was swept away The Santa Fe
station, which stands nearly 100 feet
from the channel, was undermined and
is tottering. The Bacca hotel a
$4,000, two-story structure, has been
demolished. The only bridge which
was left staLding during the night
collapsed partly early in the morn
ing and when at noon the gap was
Bpanned with q foot bridge, the first
communication with the outside
world since dawn was established.
One half of the city was without light
and the other half without drinking
water, the viaduct having been
swamped.
The damage to crops has not yet
been estimated but must be enormous.
The railroads have also suffered Sc
verely, the Santa Fe losing property
valued at $15O,O00, the Colorado and
Southern 100000 the Rio Grande
S25 5000 The damage done to city and
county property is roughly estimated
at 100000.
1t is remarkable that no loss Of life
occurred. This was partly due to the
general warning sent out before the
flood came. Many people were in dan
ger, however, and number OF
thrilling rescues are reported.
The total precipitation was 51s
inches In 4S hours, 8 inches from p.
M. Thursday to 5 a. m. Friday.

LAST DAYS RACING
At THE CANTON
FAIR
BILLY j HAD TOO MUCH SPEED
FOR CORA MAC.
Nellie 3 Had WaIkaway In Her Race
Winning With Ease-Horsemen
Like Canton Track.

The attendance at the fair Friday
was not up to expectations, the Ma
sonic demonstration keeping hundreds
of people in town. The racing card
was cleared up. The rain Of the night
before put the track in good condition
and the races were fairly fast.
The unfinished 2:1S pace was won
by Hub Smith with ease. King Daniel
was in the barn eating hay while the
final heat was being run. Only the
three heat winners started Friday
The time OF the last heat was given
as 2:16A.
The 1927 pace, which was started
Thursday, was won by Alcyo Jr. When
he needed little extra speed at any
time in the mile, he had it, and did his
winning right at the wire.
There was more than a little inter-
est in the 2:13 pace with Cora Mac in
it. She won the first heat. but after
that was back. Billy j, who had been
made a favorite in the pools, went on
and won in straight heats after Cora
had made second money certain. Billy
is said to be able to turn half mile
track in 2: 10 or better.
The 2:35 trot brought out lot OF
green ones that did not want to gel
marks that would keep them out OF
the 80 class next year, and in this
they were not disappointed.
Nellie B, owned by John Merley OF
this city, had it all her own way in the

could not make her extend herself

large number were present and evidently

a complete success, and financially 1t was
more. The new church fund got a big
