Ice Fields Breaking Up.

New York.-Indicating an early
breaking UP of the Northern Ice fields
huge icebergs were seen by officers
of the freight steamship, Gowanburn
of the Burn line, Greenoek, Scotland
which docked yesterday. The ship
came from Cardiff, England, over q
route about 10 miles north of the
mailboat track generally taken at
this season.
Capt. R. w. Fordbes said: CAT
noon, May 3, I saw huge icebreg
about eight miles off our port side.
1t looked to be about 130 feet high
and about eighty yards long. No
sooner had we passed the iceberg than
a second, about five miles west, was
seen. We were at A degrees and 45
minutes and 4S degrees and 4 min
utes west longitude. | have
seen hundreds Of icebergs but never
anything like this big one. 1t was at
least three quarters Of mile long and
more than 100 feet high. Within an
hour after we had passed the iceoerg
we ran into a heavy fog which lasted
the rest of the voyage. 1t is evident
there is an early breaking up in the
ice felds.'

Millville, New jersey Mr.. Albert
Travis was playing about the Millville
ice plant, when companion dared
him. to touch one of the frost pipes
with his tongue.
1sI never take dare" he said, and
walking over to the white pipe,
touched it with his tongue.
In moment he was writing in
pain. while his companions stood
about and laughed, thirkiug he was
playing hoax on them.
Hearing strange cry, one of the
engineers hurried into the room and
found the boy on his knees almost un-
conscious. Young Travis tongue was
terribly swollen and was frozen fast
to the pipe. All efforts to release hrm
from his serious predieament were fu-
tile, and his father was summoned.
Learning that there was only one way
to save his son, he spoke to the engi-
neer and turned away while the man
opened a sharp blade of his pocket
knife and cut off the lads tongue.
Before DIR. Charles B. Neal could ar
rive on the scene the boy had almost
bled to death. He is now in very Sc
rious condition, and it is feared that
his "dare" will cost him his life.

Increase of 874.

By request of the Brookhaven Pro
gressive Union the city council or
dered an enumeration Of the city 3
population and the result attained is
as follows: Brookhaven's present
population is 1862, an increase of S74
since the last census; the suburban
population, not including Pearlhaven,
is 2119, making total of 5771. The
population Of Pearlhaven, located near
and including the Pearl River Timber
Mills, is estimated at about 1900
which would bring the present popula-
ton, included in the two-mile square
in and about Brookhaven, fraction
less than 1000 inhabitants.

Cotton Association.

The members of the Mississippi Di-
vision Of the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation are looking forward with
interest to the forthcoming confer
ence Of officers Of the organization
In the several Southern States. The
meeting will be made up of presi-
dents, secretaries and treasurers Of
the organization for purposes of con-
ference, and the fact that Jackson
is selected as the meeting place is
significant, seeing that the matter Of
selection was left to President Harvie
Jordan, of the general organization.
DR.. Will H. Woods, the State Secre-
tary, states that one Of the reasons
is that it is generally conceded that
Mississippi's organization is about as
complete and perfect as any in the
circuit, which is a tribute to the ex-
ecutive ability of President Walter
Clark, whose personality has so strong
ly impregnated the whole State and
led to the present high state of eff
cheney of the Mississippi Association.
1t is likely that the Mississippi plan
of organization will be adopted by
the other states in the Association
and that her system of disseminating
the necessary information and otner
data will commend itself to all. The
date of the meeting is not yet def
nitely fixed, but it will probabaly be
near the end of the month, and in all
likelihood about the 31st. President
Jordan, Organizer Smythe and Secre-
tary Richard Cheatham will be pres
ent, along with other giants, including
Captain j. McC. Martin, Hon. S. A.
Witherspoon and other Mississippians
who are carrying the torch of enlight-
enment and Improvement. After the
meeting here there will be a gather
ing of the clans at HermanvilIe for
one of the biggest meetings in the Sc
ries in the home county of that wheel
horse in the work, Captain Martin.

"A COLOSSUS OF CRIME.
Standard Oil Trust Charged With In
fraction Of Virtually Every Grim
Inal Law In Existence.

Corruption of railroad employees and
agents of Independent oil companies,
dishonest methods OF procuring land
leases, the giving of short measures
and the sealing of three kinds of oil
out OF the same tank were charged
against the Standard Oil company at
Thursdays hearing before the inter
state commerce commission, sitting
at Chicago. The inquiry is held un-
der an order of congress and is along
the lines followed some time ago in
Kansas City.
Commissioner Clements at the COM
mencement of the hearing announced
that it was held in pursuance of a
resolution passed by congress, and
that the present session was con-
tinuance Of tie investigation conduct
ed at Kansas City.
The principal witnesses of the day
were q. NJ Wilhoit of Springfield,
Mo, formerly for ten years agent
OF the Standard Oil company at To
peka, Kansas, and H. C. Doran OF
Fremont, Ohio. Wilhoit made chaTg-
es of bribery and dishonesty against
the company. He said that the 'Fris-
co road Disseminated in favor or the
Standard Oil company. E. P. Ripley.
president of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe road, and NJ. Maxson, a
former agent of the Standard Gil com
pany in Illinois, also testified.
Wilhoit, in the course of his testi-
mony, said that while in the employ
of the Standard he had in following
out instructions Of his superior Off
GERS, bribed clerks in the Offices of
railroads and employees of independ-
ent oil concerns to obtain information
of the details of the business done
by the rivals of the Standard Oil COM
Pany He declared that agents or
the Standard Oil company are held
personally responsible for all oil sold
in their territory by independent COM
panies, and that drivers of tank wag-
ons are expected to keep up their
stock by selling 2G5 to 20S gallons
from a wagon load of eco gallons. HS
said that the actual tests of the prod
ucts Of the Standard Oil company to
determine the Standard Oil company
to determine the quality are care
fully guarded and that when it was
found necessary to cut the price to
meet the figure of a competitor, a
cheaper quality of oil was substitute
ed and guaranteed to be of higher
grade than it really was.
Mr. Wilhoit said that frequently
three grades of oil were sold from the
same tank by agents of the Stand
ard.
The hearing was conducted by At
| torneys J. F. Marchand and F. S. Mo-
nett for the government, and Com
missioners Clementsy Cockrell and
Prouty heard the evidence. John S.

The clever plan

Berlin, The clever plan
by which Rosinsky, the soldier under
sentence of death for the murder Of
Joseph Glapan and his two sons, es-
capped, has been commented upon, and
some citizens even say that his SEN
tence ought to have been commuted
upon recapture, because his escape
was so cleverly worked out.
Rosinsky and Geppert, soldiers,
killed the Galapans with their army
rifles. 1t was proven at the time that
they wore the full military uniforms
when they were arrested; there was
great excitement among the army Of
fcers and the Kaiser recommended
harsh punishment for the men who de-
graded the army by committing such
a crime. The men were sentenced
to death.
They were placed in neighboring
cells, where they could talk. Rosinsky
boasted continually:
determined to make my escape. I
determined to maye my escape. '
will risk everything. I have nothing
to lose anyway"
He kept his boast. The night be
fore the execution when the guaro
was doubled, he left his prison.
Late in the evening Rosinsky call
ed the guard and asked for candle
as his electric light was broken. The
candle was brought. He took off his
underwear, stuffed it with part Of the
bedding, placed it in bed and covered
it so that the guard, who could SEQ
the bed, would think in the dim
night it was RosinsAy asleep.
Rosinsky then. with a pocket
knife he had concealed, cut small
hole in the floor and enlarged it until
he could drop through it to the first
floor Rosinskp dropped to an unoccu-
pied cell. The window of the cell be-
ing open, he dropped into the yard.
Here he concealed himself from the
guards, and when the way was clear
climbed the railing topped with
sharp pointed nails and hooks. Blood
stains marked his path from the
fence.
The next morning, when the guard
and a priest came to the doomed
mans cell and tried to awaken him
they found rag-stuffed dummy. A
quick search was made and the blood
on the railings told the story. Sol
diers followed the track of the blood
till they came to the woods; here it
was lost. More men came and the
woods were searched. Rosinsky was
found under a pile of leaves, exhaust
ed from the run and loss of blood. He
was executed today.
