The jury Did Not Relieve Her.

A miracle, brought about by prayer,
was sworn to in Court Wednesday by
Miss lnga Hanson, q former member
of the Salvation army, who is on trial
In Chicago, charged with perjury in
connection with personal damage
suit brought by her against the
Chicago City Railway Company. Un-
der oath Wednesday she testified that
the alleged miracle restored her sight,
speech and hearing. This remarkable
explanation came from the lips Of the
young woman as the answer to a
charge that her ailments had been
conceived to further $4,000 con.
spiracy, had been adroitly simulated
through five years of litigation, and
had suddenly ceased. The scene of
the alleged visitation was in Rich.
mond, Va, and according to the girls
claims, was produced by prayer with
an itinerant Methodist missionary
who visited her. Miss Hanson lost
her suit against the street railway
company.

A negro named Tilden Davis was
burned to death in his home in Brit.

been to Marion on Saturday and re-
turned homo early in the evening in
an intoxicated condition. After say
ing few words to his wife, he went

His wife and children retired to an

WENT UNDER MANY NAMES.
At one period in his career Hoct
was known as Albert Buschberg
Under that name he is alleged to have
married Mrs. Nary Schultz, widow
OF Argus, Ind, representing himself
as wealthy Chicago druggist. Short
ly after the marriage the woman an6
her fve-yearo old son disappeared, and
have never been seen since. Just be.
fore her disappearance the husband
collected $4,000 insurance on her first
husbands life.
During the years 1897 and 1905
| HOch furnished at least seven flats in
Chicago.
He bought the goods for the flats on
the installment plan, and afterwards
sold them again and dGfaultcd IL par.
ment Of the monthly accounts. Fol-
| this he was arrested, convicted and
sent to prison for a year.
Two Milwaukee women also fell
victims 10 the man. Both Of them
died suddenly after their marriage to
him. and Mrs. j. Fl. Schwartzman,
sister Of the woman who was known
as Mrs. Lena Hoch, declares that
Hoch disappeared with 81, 200 of her
sisters money Immediately after her
death.
Under the name OF John Schultz
Hoch Is said to have married Mrs
Mary Becker in St. Louis in March,
1902. The woman lived with him q
year all but two days, and then died
suddenly. Hoch collected $500 insur.
ance and returned to Chicago.
From Cincinnati, San Francisco,
Wheeling, w. Va, and other places
come reports Of the mans operatioa as,
and all Of them tell the same ghastly
story OF wedding, followed by g
death, the collection Of insurance
money aud disappearance.
DR.. Reese, Chicago physician,
who ATTENDED Mrs Mary Walker Hook,
another wife Of the Bluebeard, says
that while he diagnosed the cause of
death In this instance as nephritis, he
has since heard that Hoch gave his
wife strange white powder that had
not been prescribed for her, q short
time before her death.

man In Chicago, whose post included

FARMERS SURE TO WIN
II They Will Stand Together and
Hold Their Cotton,

III They Will Stand Together and
Hold Their Cotton.
Valuable information concerning
the status and condition of the Egyp-
tian cotton crop, showing as it does,
the wisdom Of southern planters hold
ing their cotton for higher price,
has Just come to the department. of
commerce and labor from Consul
Smyth at Tunstall, England. Tuns.
tall Is In tue Lancashire cotton spin
Ing district OF the reports concern
Ing the Egyptian cotton and of efforts
OF English spilners to force down the
price Of the American crop, Mr..
Smyth said in his dispatch:
These reports are very discourage
ing, inasmuch as they foreshadow a
shortage in this years crop OF the
class Of staples that comes into com.
petition with American cotton. For
thls reason do not hesitate to say it
would be advisable to warn the south.
ern planters against any move on the
part Of lancashire manufacturers to
force sales at low prices in order to
| meet the requirements of such de-
ficlency.
The general opinion In Lancashire
Is that plentiful supply Of American
cotton can be had on 8 f penny ba-
sis, that Is to say, 10 cents per pound.
Combinations are being formed to
hold the price at this notch, II posi-
BILE and these combinations intend to
operate through agents sent specially
to Louisiana and all the cotton pro-
ducing centers Of the South. The
troubles among the cotton mauufac
turers Of the East are expected to aid
in the development OF this scheme,
for they are calculated to have a de.
! pressing effect on the home market In
their relation to supply and demand.
My candid opinion is that an enor-
nous amount Of money can be saved
to our planters by taking this matter
up In time, and invoking the assis
tance Of the banks or the national
treasury, II such an arrangement can
be made to enable the planters to
warehouse their cotton until the pres
ent stocks are worked up on this side
and the necessities of the manufac-
turers compel them to treat on more
liberal terms with the growers or their
representatives as the case may be.
The erection OF new mills In Ian.
cashire and the effect which their con-
sumption Is likely to have on the mar
ket next year lend additional inter
esb to this subject, and serves to en-
phasize the views have taken the
liberty to present In this dispatch.
Fifteen cent cotton, or even 12-cent
would cut a very important figure in
the nat assets of one years crop and
add materially to the wealth and
prosperity OF the South"
