HERO is KILLED.
Waterman in New York Loses His
Life in Saving Occupants of
Street Car from Death.

New York, July IA five-ton boiler
mounted on truck ran away down
the Amsterdam hill at 134th street
Friday night and killed Joseph Olive,
a Waterman, who lost his life while
averting collision between the rum
away and a crowded street car. The
boilers course was directly towards a
car not half block away. The motor
man set his brakes and jumped, fol.
lowed by the passengers. Women were
bruised and pounded in the mad rush
to get off. Olive, who had been at
tempting to stop the horses when he
found he could not throw timber
under the wheels, grabbed the bride
reins and turned the horses Just
enough to clear the car. A moment
later the truck, with Olive still cling
ing to the brides, crashed into build
ing, catching the Waterman between
the boiler and the wall and killing
him instantly.

STRUCK BY TRAIN OFTEN.
Dumb Hermit Fears Railroad Bim-
ployes Rather Than the Cars
Which He Encounters.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Although he has
been struck by train three times
and has had dozen narrow escapes
from death on the railroad, Dummy
Albertson, a deaf and dumb hermit
living along the line of the Blooms
burg G. Sullivan railroad, continues to
make the railroaders nervous by walk
ing the tracks, insensible to whistle
or bell, and keeping them on the con-
slant lookout to avoid killing him.
He seems more afraid Of the railroads
ers than Of the trains, and recently,
when he had narrow escape from in-
jury, he dashed away at full speed
to the woods to escape rough treat
ment from the railroaders.
He was struck the first time by a
passenger engine and hurled into a
pile of bushes, but was neither much
flustered nor hurt. On another occas
sion he was struck by train
and left on the pilot Of the
engine q large piece Of his trous-
ers, which he did not return to
claim. The third time he was knocked
down by the cylinder Of an engine just
as he sprang aside to escape it, and
again miraculously escaped with
slight injuries. This time he hid for
a couple of days in farmhouse in
fear that the railroaders were after
him. The engineers are now talking
of having him arrested for trespass-
ing upon the company's property Il
they can catch him.

LESS ACTIVITY IS SHOWN

features of the Situation Which In
dicate Growing Confidence in
the Future.

New York, July 1.-R. G.. Dunn &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Commercial conditions seldom change
at midsummer, and quiet markets
usually prevail, unless there is move
ment at the commodity exchanges in
response to crop reports. The past
week has proved no exception to the
general rule. Seasonable merchandise
has gone into distribution freely at
RETAIL duplicate orders for summer
lines are more numerous with jobbers
now that the weather has become set
tied, and travelling statesmen send in
substantial contracts to wholesale dry
goods houses for future delivery. Man
ufacturing plants are we'll employed
for this time of the year, when it is
customary to make inventories and re.
pairs, but next week the idleness will
be further increased, after which a
general resumption of activity is an
ticipated. This confidence in the flu.
ture and the increasing promptness
of mercantile collections are the best
features of the trade situation. Least
satisfactory is the speculative fever
that has appeared in grain and cot,
ton, prices rising more than is appar,
emily justified by the dispatches to
this paper regarding progress on these
farms, Railway earnings thus far re.
ported for June were 10 per cent,
larger than last years, and foreign
commerce at this port for the last
week showed gains of S2,s32,27O in
exports and $945,339 in imports, as
compared with 1904
Bradstreet's says: Though re-
flecting some irregularity, due to mid
year influences or, in some sections,
to less cheerful crop reports, the vol.
ume of distributive trade is full one
for the season, and industry and man.
ufacture show less than ordinarily the
effects of the approach of the vacation
period. Optimism as to the fall trade
outlook Is the main subject Of notice
but it Is to be noted that good re-
orders for summer fabrics are still &C
tive at some leading markets. Rela
lively the best reports come from the
central west and southwest: the south
seems quite generally to hold the i'm
provement reported last week, conf
dence has increased in the Pacific
coast reports, and the only important
subject of complaint is that the wealth

is quiet, but inquiries are more mum
erous. The finishing mills are still
very busy, and summer shutdowns arc
likely to be restricted. Railway earn
ings continue good, and the traffic
outlook is favorable. Commodity
prices, particularly farm products and
raw materials for manufacture, are
very firm. Collections range from fail

Ten Million Dollars for the Adj

ment was made by DR.. Wallace But
trick, Of the board, at a meeting Fri
day A letter to the secretaries and
executive officers of the board from
F. T. Gates, Mr.. Rockefeller's repre-
sentative, told of the gift. With the
letter the following statement was
given out: John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
with other gentlemen of this city, was
instrumental in forming the General
Education Board in February, 1902. A
very broad and admirable charter was
secured from congress and signed by
President Roosevelt on January IL,
1903.

"A gift Of $1,00O,O00 from Mr.. John
D. Rockefeller was Immediately passed
over to the board, especially designat-
ed for educational work in the south,
Other funds have been added by other
philanthropists since that time and
the board has confined its work hither-
to mainly to educational work in the
southern states. The present gift diff
fers from Mr.. Rockefeller's first gift
to the board in the following particu-
lars: The principal sum Of the gift
of $1,000,000 made on the organization
of the board could " distributed. The
present gift of $10,000,O0O is held as
endowment, the income only being
available for distribution. The first
gift was designed to be used exclusive
ly in the southern states. The present
gift is for use not only in the south
ern states, but throughout the United
States without distinction of section.
This for High Eduation.
THE first gift could be used for
common schools and secondary educa-
ton. The second gift is confined to
higher education and is designed spe-
cially for colleges as distinguished
from the great universities, although
there is no prohibition in the
letter of gift against making contribu-
lions to universities. Both gifts are
alike available for UNCONVENTIONAL
schools as well as for those which are
nonsectarian While the funds may
be employed for UNCONVENTIONAL
schools, they will be employed with
out sectarian distinctions. No special
denomination will be particularly ia
vored, but the funds will be open to
approved schools of all denomina-
tons, although they cannot be en-
ployed for giving specifically theolog-
lcal instruction
