PHENACETIN TO BE CHEAPER.

Nbsociuted Pfess TO The Evening Times.
New York, March 27.-For years
past the druggists Of the United States
have been compelled to pay 81 an
ounce for phenacetin, one of the most
widely used of drugs. Today, for the
first time, they are enabled to buy
this drug at 33 cents an ounce, a saw
ing In cost of 81 per cent. The reason
for this remarkable reduction in cost
is In no way philanthropic, or humani-
tartan, but simply utilitarian In short,
the patent under which this product
has SO long been manufactured expired
today, so that now any one can manu.
facture phenacetin.

Risteen Is Dead.

Secretary Frank J. Thompson of
the Masonic orders of Fargo received
Q telegram yesterday from Topeka,
Kan. announcing the sad news of the
death OF F. N. Risteen in that city
yesterday. No particulars regarding
his illness or death were given. It
seems. however, that he was taken
quite suddenly i'll not long since and
was compelled to abandon his duties.
Mr.. Risteen was for many years mas
ter mechanic of the N. P. with head
quarters at Fargo, and about three
years ago accepted position with the
AtchisOn.

Swearing a Hangman.

The death of Ellington recalls the fact
that formerly it was usual in appointing
a public hangman to make him take the
Bible in his hand and swear solemnly
that he would dispatch every criminal
condemned to death without favoring
father, mother, or any other relation or
friend. When he had taken the oath he
was dismissed with the word: Get
thee hence, wretch"

Cannot Find Package.

The local express Office of the Great
Northern is yet looking for that miss

of money, nearly $4,000. 1t was sent
from this Office to st. Paul and after
being receipted for in the Grand Forks

is held responsible and are trying to
locate it. The probabilities are that it
has miscarried in transit.

deaths that have been caused in these
Offices can never be known.
THE volume of business done by
these concerns was large. 1t was said
that as high as twenty criminal opera
lions a day were performed by some
and that the income sometimes ranged
as high as $4,000 a week.
The postmaster general entrusted
the details of these Investigations to
Chief Postofice Inspector Vickery and
Assistant Attorney General Goodwin

thorough and effective. The depart
ment Is endeavoring to do all in it's
power by enforcing the law against
these illegal concerns to mitigate this

MARTIN HEIRS
Get DECISION.
Will Receive About Twice as
Much as Was Given Them
By The Will.
LOCAL LAWYER UPHELD.

A number of Martin heirs in this
city and several in Metuchen will re-
ioice at the news received from Tren-
ton that Vice Chancellor Bergen yes
terday filed an opinion in the contest
over the construction of the will OF
Alfred w. Martin, who died two years
ago at Princeton. According to the
decision the heirs will each receive
about twice as much as was be-
queathed to them in the will, as the
creditors mentioned therein need not,
according to the decision, be paid.
The decision upholds the view taken
by Lawyer George J. Pleehner, of
this city, counsel for the heirs. 1t is
"a signal victory for Mr.. Plechner,
who was opposed by well known
members of the bar in the contest.
Provisions in the VIII.
In the will, which he drew up him
self, Mr.. Martin directed that his eX-
ecutors pay all creditors TO whom he
owed money at the time he made an
assignment in 1872. The will was
witnessed, but the list of creditors
inclosed with the will was not eXecut-
ed and witnessed, and the contention
was that it should not hold.
The heirs will receive amounts
ranging from $500 to $1,000, being
twice what they would have received
had the decision favored the credit
ors. The bill for the construction OF
the will was submitted by Carroll
Robbins, counsel for the creditors
Bayard Stockton was counsel for
some of the creditors and Peter
Backes for other creditors. 1t is no
believed that they will appeal The
case.

MATERIAL MEN
IN The STRIKE.
Refuse TO Sell Lumber to Out
Of Town Contractors Who
Pays Union Wages.

That the local lumber and mater
ial men are going to stand by the lo-
cal builders, while the strike among
the mechanics is on, was clearly pro-
ven yesterday, when an out of town
builder. who came here to do work
and hired some of the striking car
penters and joiners, at the wages
they demanded, was refused lumber
and building material by local deal
ers. Strikers themselves were also
refused material until the trouble Is
ended.
1t seems that the contractor, who
is an Elizabeth man, was given a
lob on a Smith street building as nc
local contractor could do the work
at once, on account of the strike. The
Elizabeth contractor came here yes
terday morning and secured at unAoI
headquarters some union carpenters
He started ahead with the work, bu
ran out of material He tried to pur
chase from several dealers, but coult
not and the result was that he had K
lay the men off again. 1t is said tina
he will now get his material In eliza
| beth and then go ahead with hi

ATLANTIC CITY, May 9-The
one hundred and thirty-fourth annual
conVocation of the diocese of New
Jersey opened in the ST. James p. E.
church yesterday. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. Hamilton
Schuyler, of Trenton, and was follow
ed by the celebration of the holy COM

of the convocation of New Bruns-

The convention was called to order

bert Stanley Smith, who has gone

pointed assistant.
These preliminaries out OF the way,
Bishop Scarborough named the fol-
lowing committees:

MANY TEACHERS APPLY.

Ing Low Superintendent Shull
Submits His Report.

Although the question was men
toned just before adjournment, moth
ing was accomplished and the matter
of the awarding Of the contracts for
furniture for schools Nos. 2 and 5
and for making repairs to the heat
ing and sanitary systems in school
No. 2 remained as far from solution
after the meeting of the Board of
Education last night as at the meet
ing on April 26, when the vote of the
board was to 3 on both questions.
Commissioner Crowell had moved
to adjourn, when Commissioner Mas
sopust arose and asked If the chair
man of the building committee had
anything to report in regard to the
bids. The motion to adjourn was
put, however, and the vote on it was
to 8. Then Chairman Crowell of
the building committee said that he
had done nothing in the matter as he
was powerless because the bids had
been laid on the table at the pre-
vious meeting and must remain there
until taken up by motion. President
Walker asked if anyone had anything
further to offer and as none of the
members advanced any remarks, the
motion to adjourn was again put and
was this time carried without a dis
senting vote. The reason for these
matters remaining in a state of in
nocuous desuetude is that half of the
board is of the opinion that D. Wolff
G Company should not be awarded
the contract for the school furniture
needed on the ground that their fur
niture is not equal to that of the
American School Furniture Com
rany, whose bid per desk is higher
than that of VOLTS. A similar
state of affairs exists in connection
with the No. heating and sanitary
repairs contract.
The recommendations.
At the previous meeting Mr.. Crow

watch the count. Chief Glenn called
off the votes while a representative of
each company acted as a board of
canvassers. 1t took about three quar-
ters of an hour to count the ballots,
and the result was as follows: For
chief engineer. Thomas Baker, 1876;
William Fullerton, 4 William Hart
mann, 1. For first assistant chief,
Eugene Mullen, 9S; William Miller
80; William Rankin, 1 Michael Fitz-
patrick, /. For second assistant,
George Mead, 73; Amos Richards,
5S.
The fight, it was thought, would
only be between Mead and Richards,
and it came as a great surprise when
Miller's name appeared for first as
sistant. 1t is thought that he got all
of the votes of his own company, the
Lincolns
The fight between Mead and Rich
ards for first assistant was hot from
start to finish, and firemen were on
the hustle The vote is declared to be
