THE rAGeARr DIVORCE SUIT.
Defendant Eager to Testify in Defense
of Women

Mrs. Taggart is confident that the divorce
trial which has been on at Wooster, Ohio,
for four weeks will result in her favor. The
woman whose name has been so conspic-
uously before the country was seen Sunday
afternoon at her home. While showing the
strain through which she has passed, she
said that she was feeling well, and though
not in buoyant spirits was eager to go on
the witness stand to deny the charge of her
husband.
She wanted also to say something In de-
Tense of the wives and daughters of officers
of the United States army. whose manner
of living. the of intoxicants &C., she
said, had been grossly exaggerated as re-
suit of the sweeping charges made by Maj.
Taggart.

seem possible that Judge Eason could take

Taggart and his witnesses might swear to

my judge am gufltless of the cruel
charges he has made against me. I believe
the testimony has shown this.

me. Oh. no, 1t will not be, and they will
be given to me to bring up as men to raise
children of their own, but never to cause
their wives the anguish and heart-aches
their father brought to their mother"
The attorneys for Maj. Taggart say that
there Is no question that to their client will
be granted the decree. as well as the Gus
tody Of the boys, Culver and Tiddles Mrs
Taggarts attorneys are equally confident
as to the outcome.

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
New Crop Will Be Largely Housed by
September 20.

There are no new features to report in
the past weeks transactions on the DAN
Vile CVa) market. Something like 25,O 600
pounds of primings from the 1905 crop have
been sold each day of the week. In in
stances where these were clean and of good
color there has been a decided advance in
prices, some selling as high as $40 per hum
dred, while the lower grades find ready
sale at from $50 to 81 per hundred. Some
choice lots of old wrappers appeared on
the market during last week, and there was
such eagerness among the buyers for this
class of goods that the sellers did not have
to wait for the public sales. but disposed Of
the tobacco a highly satisfactory prices as
soon as ii was exposed to view.
Some lots of old filters were also among
the offerings, and when there was any show
of color there was animated bidding on the
goods.
The crop prospect improved some during
last week, cool weather and heavy dews
having combined to give the leaf on the hill
more body. Cutting has been progressing
actively, and the curlngs that have been
made are bright in color, but rather thin In
body. The late harvested tobacco will be
decided Improvement on the first cutting.
Very few package lots changed hands dur
ing the week.
At South Boston, Va, small breaks OF
new tobacco were the rule on the market
of last years crop. Most of the new is
light and chaffy, being largely the first
leaves primed from the early plants. Prices
for this kind Of tobacco range from to
cents per pound.
The weather has been very hot and dry
lately, causing the tobacco on light soil to
waste very badly, many fields having to be
cut before ripe. The late tobacco, where
the soil Is rich, has been greatly benefited,
the hot sunshine causing 1t to thicken In
fiber and otherwise improve. Farmers are
cutting and curing tobacco as fast as pos
sible, and unless rainy weather sets in
again, most of the crop will be housed by
September 20 in this section.
At Durham, N. c., breaks of leaf to-
bacco have been light for some time and
mostly of new primings, or very early to-
bacco, which was cut and cured before fully
ripe. Prices are fairly good, considering
the quality of the weed. The busiest time
in cutting and curing tobacco in the golden
belt is now on, and will be finished in about
three weeks, probably, If the weather is
favorable,
From present indications the crop will be
bright in color as 1t cures we'll; but 1t will
be light and bony-mostly cutters and
smokers, very little of 1t having fiber and
toughness required for wrappers. There
was too much rain early in the season, and
again in July and the first half of August,
and now it is generally clear and hot, caus-
ing the tobacco to burn" on the hill.

vINDICATEs vINsoN WALSH
Father of Auto Victim Has Investi-
gated the Accident

In justice to the memory of his son Vim
son. who was killed in the automobile &C
cldent OF Saturday, August 10, at Newport,
X. l., Thomas F. Walsh made a statement
sunday after he had made a careful in
quiry into the affair, which had taken sew
eral days and included statements of all
persons who could have had a knowledge
bearing upon the fatality. Mr.. Walsh feels
that the result of his investigation refutes
the charge of recklessness and many other
harsh things that have been said about his
dead son, and proves him to have shown
great presence of mind when in danger,
and, In fact. to have died at his post In
trying to save others.
Mr.. Walsh states that 1t has been settled
that the cause of the accident was the
bursting of the tire of the forward wheel
on the right side. Vinson heard the report
and knew well in what danger his friends
WERE
1t was here that he displayed GOODNESS
and bravery, for in second he shut Off
the power, put on the emergency brakes
and did everything to stop the machine
This was shown in the technical examina-
tion of the wreck which Mr.. Walsh had
made as a part of the investigation
Mr.. Walsh Is of the opinion that his son
would have succeeded in bringing the ma
chine to complete stop and thus showed
the value of his experience, but in an in
slant the automobile skidded and struck a
post at the side of the road, which threw
1t off Its course and over into the creek
Between the time the tire burst and the
time the post was struck Mr.. Holland the
chauffeur, jumped out of the automobile,
Mr.. Walsh says that the register of the
machine showed that 1t was going but
thirty miles an hour. Mr.. Holland has told
him that at no time was its speed exceeding
thirty-five miles.
Miss Walsh's condition is satisfactory,
though it was thought soon after she was
inf nod nf hn 6An l. l.4,.
she would have brain fever Now she is
historical at times and calls plaintiyely
for her brother, for whom she had strong
affection.

Gulf Stream Very Erratic.

Ever since Capt. Ruser of the German
steamship Moltke made his recent discovery
that the gulf stream had sheered farther
to the eastward than was it's wont, that 1t
was warmer in one place than in another
and that its current was accelerated at
times and owing slower at others, much
has been written about the stream, and
masters of sundry craft when questioned on
the subject have confirmed Capt. Ruser's
observation in every particular. The latest
report is that residents of the Long Island
shore have discovered that the water is
warmer there this season than ever be-
fore. 1t is said that Long Island real es-
tate men contemplate the use of the gulf
prophesying that In the near future the
warm ocean river will wash the entire
southern shore of Long Island, and that
palm trees viii flourish where pines now
grow.

Locked Kitty in a Trunk.

When Miss Sarah Nicholson of Edgefeld,
S. c.. arrived at Long Beach and began un-
packing her trunk. she was startled almost
into Mysteries by the appearance of her pet
kitten at the bottom of the trunk In the
folds of her dresses which she had packed
away two weeks previously when she was
preparing to leave her home In the east
for the Pacific coast. Kitty stretched it's
legs and weakly mewed a salutation to it's
mistress. After tapping a saucer of cream
1t strolled out into the sunshine and within
a few hours became itself again. Tabby is
now wearing nine different hues of ribbon
about its neck in token of its possession Of
nine lives.

LABOR FOR PANAMA CANAL.
President Shonts Says Work Will Com.
mence After While

Chairman Shonts of the isthmian canal
commission was dinner guest of President
and Mrs. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay last night
He came to talk over with the President
some matters In connection with the canal
work.
Chairman Shonts said in response to in
quiries about the resignation Of Superin-
tendent Prescott of the Panama railway
that Mr.. Prescott had resigned, presumably
because of structures made upon his conduct
Of the road. He said that Mr.. Prescott had
been succeeded by Mr.. Bierd of the Rock
Island system, who is now en- route to PAN
anna to assume his new duties
Il have laid off all the steam shoyels"
said Mr.. Shonts. until the railroad tracks
have been put into proper condition for their
use. found when l was on the isthmus at
least six steam shovels out of which the
operators were not getting to exceed 25 per
cent of efficiency. That condition could not
be allowed to go on.
We shall have no difficulty in getting all
the LABOR we may want. The superintendent
who has charge Of that branch of the work
has used 1900 men on single contra ct
and he says he could get 100000 blacks for
work on the canal If so many were needed
Inc principal idea at present is to provide
quarters for employees, to establish good
sanitary conditions and to arrange for the
prompt payment of the men. When those
prelimnaries are arranged we will begin to
make the dirt fly"
w. G. Bierd of Chicago who has been an
pointed superintendent of the Panama rail-
road to succeed H. G. Prescott has been
the superintendent of the Chicago terminal
division of the Rock Island railroad sys-

and reinquishes a higher paying position
with the Rock Island system to accept the
new appointment, which carries a salary
or s6,Ooo per year. Mr.. Prescott, the retir-

Subsists on Rat Meat.

Morris West a well-known negro living at
Columbus, Ohio. is reported as living al
most exclusively on the meat of rats. He
works for one of the dray lines and his
employment keeps him in the warehouses

buildings, and whenever the catches are
good he has feast. 1t was thought that
West caught the rats for amusement until
