A NEW ROUTE TO THE ADIRON-
DACK MOUNTAINS AND THE
THOUSAND ISLANDS. f;

For the summer season of 1906
the New York Central Railroad has
inaugurated two new Pullman Buffet
Sleeping Car Lines, which will give
the great population residing south
of Jersey City a most convenient and
complete service to and from all
points in the Adirondack Mountains
and the Thousand Islands region.
Through Pullman buffet sleeping
cars are operated via the Pennsylva-
mia, West Shore, and the New York
Central Railroads, daily, except Sun
day, between Philadelphia and Lake
Placid, and connection is made by
these ears at Jersey City with Pull
man buffet sleeping cars running via
the West Shore and New Jersey Cen
trail railroads to Clayton, N. Y, one
of the principal gateways to-thea
Thousand Islands region.
The picturesque Adirondack Noun
tains and the beautiful Thousand
Islands are especially popular during
the months of July and August.
The great moter boat races will be
a special attraction at the Thousand
Islands in August, and this whole
region is famous for its cool breezes,
its great hotels, it's canoeing and
fishing, its cottage and camp life, its
winding channels and picturesque
shores.
The beautiful lakes, the crystal
streams, the wooded slopes and rug
ged peaks of the Adirondack Noun
tains allure the lover of beauty, and
the fine hunting and fishing attract
the sportsman. Raquette Lake, Long
Lake, the Upper Lakes, Cranberry
Lake, the Saranacs and Lake Placid
all give one an idea of the beauty
and charm of this land of the thou
sand lakes"
The Adirondack Mountains and
the Thousand Islands are both won
derfully attractive regions, and they
are made more convenient OF access
for a vast number of people by these
newly established lines. -.

NAY Be A WITNESS
ON SIDE OF STATE.
Reported that H. F. Morris Is Ex-
peCted TO Turn States Evidence
in Natal Murder Trial.

FREEHOLD, July 24.-Frank
Perdoni, an Italian fruit dealer, and
Howard F. Morris. at one time con-
nected with an Asbury Park theatre,
were placed on trial in Freehold, yes
terday before Chief Justice Gummere,
of the supreme court, and County
Judge John E. Foster, under an in
dictment charging them with. the
murder. Of Mrs. Moritz Natal in, As
bury Park last December. 6
Mrs. Natal was eccentric eighty,
years old, and lived with her husband
in Main street. One of her peculiar
tiles was the display of a collection
of diamond On the afternoon of De-
cember ,13 Mrs. Naftal's body was
found in a bedroom, bound hand and
foot, and covered with a mattress.
One thousand dollars, which she was
known to have carried in a pocket
sewed on the inside of her skirt,
which had been turn out, and dia-
monds worth. $1,100 were missing.
"A towel and handkerchief supposed
to have been saturated with chloro-
form were discovered near the bed.
The apartments had been ransacked.
Detectives discovered that the rope
with which Mrs. Natal had been
bound came from an awning in front
of Perdoni's fruit stand, directly
across the street from her apart
ments. Perdoni was questioned and
gave what the detectives considered
unsatisfactory answers. A day later
1t was learned that Morris had been
an intimate friend of Perdoni, and
had told an acquaintance Perdoni
| had asked him to help rob the wom-
| an. He was induced to tell the de-
| t~ectives the story and Perdoni was
| arrested While Morris was held as
an accessory before the fact the men
we're Jointly indicted for the murder:
At the opening of the trial Edmund
Wilson, of counsel for Morris, asked
to have his client tried alone, for the
reason that the interests of the two
men were not identical. Prosecutor
Henry M. Nevius consented, and also
asked that the indictment as to Nor
ris be dismissed, saying he did not
think the evidence sufficient to hold
him responsible for the crime. This
latter motion, it was said, was made
to carry out a plan of the prosecution
to have Morris turn states evidence
rand testify against Perdoni.
Judge Gummere granted the mo-
ton for a separate trial for Morris,
but declined to dismiss the indict-
ment against him at this time. The
trial then proceeded against iPerdoni.
A jury was formed in less than an
h1uf. and the state began calling wit
nesses. up to the hour of adjourn
ment nothing placing responsibility
for the murder upon Perdoni mad
beenl brought out.
The state, it is said, has been I'M

REMARKABLE BALLOON TRIP
FOR HOURS WE'RE IN THUNDER
STORM IN MID AIR.
The Ropes of the Balloon Became
Charged With Electricity and
Could Not Be Touched.

A New York dispatch says: DR..
Julian P. Thomas, formerly of At
lanta, Ca, and Charles Levee, the
noted French aerouaut, are safe from
the most remarkable trip in the hlsto-
ry of ballooning.
Their escape from death is regarded
as nothing less than miraculous.
For eight hours they were in heavy
thunderstorm.
The air was so charged with cleo
tricity that the ropes of the balloon
became charged and could not be
touched except at great danger and
pain.
High up in the air, surrounded by
vicious winds, in the darkness OF
heavy clouds, the cold became so in
tense that their garments were frozen
Land could be seen only occasion
ally, and it was impossible to direct
the course of the air craft.
At times it seemed impossible to
prevent the ship from going out to
sea, in which case they would have IN
all probability been totally lost.
Out Many Hours.
They we're out fourteen and one
half hours, coming down in the center
of field near Butterout, in Oswego
county, in almost opposite direction
from which they started out to follow.
The trip is recognized to be the
greatest in all the history of balloon
ing.
But DR.. Thomas has not been
discouraged by the terrible experience.

! Meanwhile a big basement of cement
blocks had been built Then the cabin
had been built up about three logs
high by men hired for the work.
And then the invitations were sent
out by word of mouth to all of the
farmers In the neighborhood to attend
the cabin raisin'" These accOmmO-
dating neighbOrs began to arrive early
In the morning, and about the time
that the ordinary dweller In the city
was turning over in his bed for his
beauty sleep" the ak and the adze
were sounding from the clearing and
chips were flying in all directions.
Four or six lusty farmers would slip
two or three heavy poles under log,
pick 1t up and carry it to the wall.
There they would heft 1t to the top
Of the log wall by main strength, and
two men on top would trim the ends
of the log so that 1t would lie firmly
In place at each corner of the cabin.
Only few men could be employed at
time, so the others lOunged about
chatting, offering good advice or sharp
ening their jackknives on the big grind
stone. BY the time that Mr. Woollen
had arrived the work was we'll under
way, and he was asked, with a friend
ly grin, If he had come to lay the cor
nerstone. He really was not needed,
for the men worked as though raising
log cabins had been an everyday pur
suit with them, and about all there
was for him to do was to hand up tools
occasionally to the men on the wall
and to keep out of the way of the men
who were carrying the logs.
The cabin is practically two cabins
of one room each and a basement
connected by a covered porch, and
each room is eighteen feet square. In
each will be a big, old fashioned fire.

INDIANA CABIN RAISING
Home In a Forest Built on
Primitive Lines.
A FEW FARMERS DID THE WORK

others Lounged About Offering Good
Advice The Cabin at Buzzard's
Presented TO indianapolis and Pre-
served For Future Generations to
See How Pioneers Lived.
There was a "log cabin raisin'" at
Buzzard's Roost the other afternoon
the first In Marion county, Ind, 1t Is
thought, for the last twenty-five or
thirty years, says the Indianapolis
News. 1t was of the old fashioned
sort all through, with four or five men
doing nearly all the work and about
twenty men lounging about on conven-
lent piles of lumber and logs and of
fering good advice.
The manner in which the cabin was
raised" was not the only interesting
feature connected with it. On Easter
day of 1897 William Watson Woollen
of Indianapolis was wandering along
Fall creek between Millersvi,le and
what is now the Benjamin Harrison
army post when he "discoyered' BuZ-
yards Roost. 1t was simply an I'M
named tract of fOrty-four acres OF
wilderness, and it's primitive state APP
pealed to Mr. Woollen's love of nature
in the rough. He determined to be the
owner of that forty-four acres, and in
a few months he was. When he dis
covered" the tract a man told him of
the number of turkey buzzards that
were in the habit of roosting in a big
tree on the land, and therefore Mr..
Woollen gave to it its present name.
He bought the land that bit of
primitive Indiana might be preserved
to the future generations, and the log
cabin is a part of this scheme. The
city of Indianapolis is to receive the
tract of land and the cabin some day
without charge, according to Mr.. Wool
LENS plans, when he no longer is here
to enjoy 1t. when fifty or more years
have passed." he explains, there will
be at least one place in this state
where people can go and see the way
their forefathers lived in primitive In
diana-see not only the tangle o.
forest and the old log cabin. but also
some of Indianas native birds"
1t is probable that Mr.. Woollen will
spend his last years in the cabin when
he is ready to retire from active life
He is never so happy as when near to
nature and when surrounded by his
friends, the birds He has planted
more than 800 cherry trees in the rich
bottom lands, along with many berry
bushes and in this way the place will
be self supporting before it is turned
over to the city. The rest of the land
will be left In its present primitive
state.
But to revert to the cabin raisin' :"
and the raisers. For several weeks
the work preliminary to a recent Sat
urday's event had been going on. Trees
had been cut here and there out of
Buzzard's Roost forest in such manner
that their loss would not be noticed
and these logs had been dragged to the
top of the hill, where there was small
clearing in the thicket. There they
had been hewed roughly into shape.

Social Requirements Leave But Small
Margin of Yearly Compensation.
The honor of being elected repre-
sentative to the congress of the Unit
ed States is one which is eagerly
sought after. yet many able men who
would make admirable legislators
hesitate to enter the lists because the
social requirements of the position
are such as to leave but small margin,
if any, of their S., 900 yearly compen-
sation. They, however, are far more
fortunate than the Legislators of many
other countries.
The Norwegian member of parli-
ment gets less than So day, and if
he takes day of. loses his days pay.
The same is true of members of the
Swiss diet. They are rewarded abou t
81 a day, on condition that they do
not absent themselves from work.
Roumania thinks her law makers
worth S. day. Bulgaria is a trife
less generous. Four dollars a day is
the salary of those who compose the
Bulgarian sobranje; but members who
live in the capital get only So daily.

Judqe Griqgs and the Speakership
From the Atlanta News.

! the republican party, and enthrone
the democratic organization in the
house of representatives.
| At any rate, strong and vigorous
campaign will be made by the demo-
cratic congressional committee, and
Judge Griggs will devote the entire
summer and early fall months to this
great and responsible work. He has
already engaged suitable quarters for
the committee at the Hoffman House
| in New York city, where he Will be
| located, after the adjournment of con-
gress, until the campaign ends IN No
vember. 1t is stated that ample imam
cial support has been promised the
democratic organization, and that the
committee will be in good condition to
make an aggressive. effective and Wig
| orous fight all along the line. While
it is true it will be very difficult to
overcome the large republican major
ity in the house, it is confidently
expected by Judge Griggs and
leading democrats in Washington
that from 40 to Is seats may be taken
from the republican congressman and
given to the democrats, and it is the
strong hope that even the unpreced-
ented majority on the republican sloe
will be wi ped out and the democrats
be put in the position of authority.
While Judge Griggs declines to dis
cuss the phase of the situation, it is
recognized fact that if he succeeds in
overcoming the republican majority
in the house and turning it into a
democratic stronghold as Chairman
of the National Democratic Congress
sional Committee he will be the
strongest candidate in the house for
the speakership to succeed Speaker
Cannon. Judge Griggs has long been
regarded as one of the most able dem
ocratic members of the house for the
speakership, and he has many friends
whe will insist that he be elected to
that position of honor, in case the
house is democratic. This fact
will increase the Georgia interest
in the congressional campaign,
as Judge Griggs has thousands
of ardent friends and admirers
in this state who will be very glad to
see him elevated to the most powerful
legislative Office in the world today.
