At Columbus.

Columbus, o., Sept; 7.- Outside of dis
closing the identity of George Hite,"
the colored man who led "Jud" King
into the trap set by Sheriff Karb, and
the identity of the colored ''trusty" who
delivered Frank Castor's letters to
Sheriff Karb, instead of mailing them,
little developed at the preliminary
hearing of James alias Zip" O'Neil,
who was bound over in the sum of ST.
600, charged with assisting Castor to
attempt to break Jail, before Justice
of the Peace Mccormick.
AFRAID OF WITNESSES.
Some dispute was started by the re-
quest of Attorney Earnhart, who, with
Attorney Ray s. Bates, represented the
defendant, to have the witnesses ac-
companied by some one to see that
nothing was said about the case.
Prosecuting Attorney WILDER e. King
objected to this proceeding, declaring
that such a request from the defend
ants attorneys was absurd as well as
unprofessional. He lost his point, how
ever.
BURGLAR WAS USED.
Sheriff Karb, the first witness, testi-
fed as to the capture of the crooks,
and after cross-examination disclosed
the fact that George Hite," the man
who decoyed "Jud" King into the sher-
ifs hands was one John Parker, res
ident of North Columbus. 1t was also
disclosed that the "trusty" who turned
over the letters from Castor to BLACK
Pete" Matthias was Henry Davis, bur
glary and larceny prisoner in the Jail.
The latter while on the stand testi-
fed that he was offered 800 to deliver
| letters into the hands of friends visit
| ing him, who would in turn mail them.
He delivered the latters, however, to
Sheriff Karb.

Dead italian Thrown Into Lake Pont

for Hours to Tree.

New Orleans, La, Sept. THE Off
cial report of the yellow fever situa-
tion for the "a hours ending at p. m.
Thursday is as follows:
New cases, 35.
Deaths, G.
New localities infected, 9.
The increase in the number of new
cases Is due to the activity of the doc
tors, who are reporting all cases that
are in the slightest degree suspicious,
and they are listed as fever cases pend
ing investigation.
The discovery was made today that
the relatives of an Italian who died OF
fever removed the body in covered
wagon and threw the remains into
Lake Pontchartrain. Stones were fas-
tened to the mans head and feet and
the body hidden beneath the water.
The Italian took the fever in the in
fectod district and died without medi-
cal attention. The relatives, true to
their racial secrecy, concealed his death
and also failed to report his case to the
health authorities. At night the body
was carried to Milneburg and thrown
overheard No precautions were taken
to prevent further infection, but an
anonymous letter received by Coroner
O'Hara furnished the necessary details
The police are investigating and are on
the trail of the dead Italians compan-
ions.
A negro fever refugee has barely es-
capped with his life after terrible ex-
perience In a detention camp near Pass
Christian, Miss. He was caught slip
ping through the quarantine lines and
for two days was kept chained to a
tree in the woods, without protection
from the sun or rain and at the mercy
of millions Of mosquitoes. The mayor
and the health officer, 1t is said, were
appealed to in vain by the citizens, who
protested against the outrage. The
marine hospital interfered and secured
the negro's removal to tent.
Surgeon White has instructed ma
rine hospital inspectors to watch the
asylums, converts and all religious in
stitutions for cases of yellow fever
This action is the result of the death OF
nun who died of yellow fever without
her case having been reported to the
authorities.

A unique method Of filing up thu
swamp lands of New Orleans for thu

proposed by Prof. Metz, notet

using 100000 gallons of Mississippi
water for the purpose, instead of allow

abolished as soon as the plant is oper

James O'Connor Roach, the play

ticians and men-about-town the other
night at the Hoffman House with a
story Of the old Commodore Vanderbilt
that one who first accumulated
money.
"When a YOUTH" said Mr.. Roach.
'SIr. Vanderbilt came 10 the Futon
street pier every day on his small
schooner with a load Of hsh and freight
for the market. There was also an
other one, Jake Peterson, who did the
same.
Nov, at times freighss were scarce.
but the men came to New York Just the
same for return freight. On one paFtic-
ular morning all they could riuster 10
bring up from Staten Island was five
Holsters. Vanderbilt had two and
Peterson three.
Now, Vanderbilt was an athlete and
sport. He lad thrown all the wrest-
Iers on Staten Island, so he proposed 10
wrestle Peterson, who was also a
wrestler. An agreement was made
and the crowd gathered around, the
Holsters being left ON the wharf
vanderbilt won after hard tussie,
and went to get the Holsters, but he
could not find them.

A New T3veniion 70 Do Away with
Much Wasted Part OF Cur Food.


Much Wasted Part OF Cur Food.
While there Gre very many persons
who really like the crust Of bread,
,shere is a largeS percentage who regard
II as refuse and very carefully reject
il. For this reason ii is quite com
mon practice followed in number OF
the better class cafes in thu making Of
sandwiches to carefully cut on the
crust before serving it 10 the Gus
toner Whether this waste is entirely
warranted OF not is a question. but it
certainly is a fact that a sandwich de-
livered in this shape is exceedingly at
tractive in its appearance which the
restaurant keeper argues has much to
DO with the patrons subsequent en-
joyment Of the morsel.
A process has been worked out by
baker OF Jersey City, y. il. who has
been awarded a patent covering the
method, by which he makes loaf OF
bread without any crust whatever.
Several features Of his scheme have
heretofore been followed in the many
different processes Of bread making, but
he claims that never before have they
been combined with the idea Of pro4uc-
ing crustless bread. The frss essen
tial in the new method is that the
Ioayes should be baked ii individual
boxes, each one having a lid. Wien
the oven is filed and charged fer 4
baking these boxes are arranged III
tiers in such close proximity that .he
lids of the boxes in one tier are pre-
vented from being displaced b. the
rising action OF the bresd By the tier
above. Before these boxes are placed
In the oven it is necessary that they
should be partially flied with dough.
The oven being properly filed, the
doors are secured by screw clamps, and
the interior subjected to a steam OF q
pressure OF about three pounds. This
is continued for a while until the baker
is satisfied that the rising dough has
filled the pans, and then thu pressure is
increased from ten to twenty pounds,
which heats the pans sufficiently to
make the loaves.
The bread thus prepared Is said to
be without the least semblancc Of
crust. When removed from the pans
it Will be found 10 have very thin,
paper-like exterior coating, which is
perfectly white when white -four has
been used. Another feature which rec
ommends the system Of baking IS the
fact that the oven does not require the
careful attention as when the baking
is proceeding in the usual manner and
the bread may be left in the OVEN al
most indefinitely without any danger
Of burning This permits the cutting
down Of the force Of men required
around a large bakery Philadelphia
