HEAT FACILITATES TRADE
Makes Good Business in Summer
Goods and at the Resorts-Crops
All That Could Be Desired.

New York, Aug. 11.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
In some sections the intense heat facil-
itated retail trade in summer goods
and improved the attendance at sea-
side resorts, but the most important
developmentin the business world was
the increased activity Of jobbing and
acknowledgements in preparing for
autumn and winter requirements. Crop
reports are all that could be desired.
harvest and threshing returns surpass-
ing all but the most sanguine expecta-
tons, the few unsatisfactory state
ments being far out-balanced by the
numerous encouraging results.
Mercantile collections might be more
prompt at some eastern points, but the
average is well maintained by dis
counted bills at the west and south.
Manufacturing news is still of good
progress, the iron and steel industry
maintaining phenomenal results de-
spite some labor troubles. High prices
prevail in the footwear industry, and
for most textile fabrics, but the gener-
al level of all commodities reflects the

PRISON FORALYNCHER.
Healthy Example MADE of One of
the Outlaws in North
Carolina.
HE GETS THE LIMIT OF TIE LAW
Goes to the Pen to Do Hard Work for
Fifteen Years.
First Time Such a Thing Has Hap.
pened in the Old North State,
and Is Therefore En-
couraging.

Salisbury, \. c., Aug. 11.-What is
said to be the first instance of the
conviction of a lyncher in the history
of the state was furnished here when
George Hall, a white ex-convict Of
Montgomery county, \. c.. who was
one of the party that on Monday night
lynched three negroes in Jail here for
the murder of the Lyerly family, was
found guilty of conspiracy in connec-
ton with that crime and was sen
fenced to fifteen years in the peniten
tiary. Hairs trial ended at p. m.
The jury was out but thirty-five min
utes, and returned then with verdict
Of guilty.
Gave Him the Limit of the Law.
Judge =. T. Long sentenced Hall to
the maximum term provided for by
law-fifteen years at hard labor in the
pcnitentiary. The evidence against
Hall was overwhelming. He was re-
manded to jail. His counsel has ap-
pcaIed on the ground that Governor
NEiCtin NdH III 3t1ttAkiC AilN 0ACh liz
special term at which Hall was tried
was ordered, and that being out of the
states bounds he had no jurisdiction.
State Springs a Surprise.
The state sprung a surprise in the
trial when the offenso against the pris-
oner was changed from murder to con-
spiracy. When the court was called
to order at 1920 a. m. ex-Representa-
tive T. j. Kluttz announced that his
client would contend that the court
was unlawful. It was argued that the
governor could not sign a commission
for such a court unless he was in the
state, and it was alleged that he was
at Atlantic City, n. ]. Kluttz asked
that a subpoena be issued for Govern
or Glenn, to have him brought to court
to testify.
Objection Is Overruled.
This was done, and the chief eXecu-
tive of the state was sworn and ques-
toned about his whereabouts on the
18th of July, the day that the call for
the court was made. He said that
he was in Atlantic City, n. j., but in
order to do what he could to prevent
lynching he wired his private secre-
tary to issue the commission and sign
his name to it. This he considered the
proper thing to do The objection of
the defendant was overruled, and the
trial proceeded.
Deputy's Evidence Was Conclusive.
The first witness was David w
Julian, deputy sheriff, who testified
that he saw Hall leading mob of
about thirty men, some of whom the
witness knew. The officer had in Gus
tody a man he had arrested at the Jail
Hall, said the witness, carried a ham,
mer and threatened to brain him if he
did not liberate the prisoner. Klutz2
/ objected to this testimony in its entire
ty. Other testimony was offered il
the afternoon and the case speedily
given to the Jury. Hall had been 9
cotton mill operative.

Reno. New, Aug. 11.-Mrs. William
Ellis Corey, who recently secured q
divorce from her husband, has left for
Pacific coast points, where she will
spend several weeks, and then return
to Pittsburg, where she will probably
reside. The departure of Mrs. Corey
is interesting in view of her state
ments upon the witness stand during
the divorce trial that Reno was to be

affairs, delivered speech of welcome
to which Root made a brief reply. AS
the visitors drove away, accompanied
by Minister O'Brien, to the splendid

of enthusiasm was impressive and
striking. Mrs. Root and Miss Root
shared the heartiness of the ovation
accorded the secretary of state of the

Montevideo. Aug. II. = Secretary
Root arrived here on the cruiser
Charleston. Never perhaps in the his
tory of the Uruguayan republic has
popular feeling been more visibly man

demonstrations of satisfaction on the
part of all classes with the visit of
the eminent United States statesman
to this picturesque capital. Although
necessarily not on the same scale of
magnificence as the reception accord
ed Root by Brazil, or that in course
of preparation by Argentina, Monte
video has extended to him a welcome
full of spontaneous warmth and cor
diality.

Whole Population Was Out.

At an early hour in the morning the
crowd began assembling at every van
tage point in the port and on the
moles 1t continually grew in num-
bers until seemingly the entire popula-
ton was present to greet the visitors.
An enthusiastic ovation was given to
Edward c. O'Brien, the popular Unit
ed States minister, when he, accom-
panied by the port authorities, en-
barked for the outer roads to meet the
Charleston. The arrival of the cruis-
er. with the distinguished travellers
stationed prominently on the upper
deck, to which O'Brien Immediately
proceeded, was the eliminating point
in the enthusiasm of the crowds.
Cheers for Root and Roosevelt.
Cries of Long live Secretary Root, ="
LONG live President Roosevelt" and
Long live the great republic of the
north" rent the air. These were re-
pcated when the steamer Triton went
alongside the Charleston for the pur-
pose of enabling the committee COM

welcome to the visitors. After this
ceremony the committee and Roots

Result Of Grand Jury's Work at
jamestown, N. Y.
Developments Before the United States
Grand Jury at Chicago-How
the Standard Oil Secures
One Monopoly.

Jamestown, \. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
federal grand jury for the Western
district of New York reported ndlct-
ments against the Standard Oil COM
pany. of New York. the Pennsylvania
railroad and the Vacuum Oil COM
pany. which has rehneries at olean
and Rochester, y. Y. One indictment
is found against each of the defend
ants. and in all there are twenty-five
counts The indictment against the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad charges that lt
granted rebates on oil shipments to the
Standard Oil company, and the indlct-
ment against the Standard charges
that it accepted rebates from the Penn
sylyania.
What the Evidence Showed.
The evidence showed that the Va
cuum Oil company made shipments
over the Pennsylvania, and that the
Standard paid the freight bills. The
indictment against the Vacuum Oil
company charges specifically that II
shipped oil from Clean to Rutland, Vt,
at a tariff rate lower than any pub
lished by the Pennsylvania railroad or
on file with the interstate commerce
commission. One of the counts In the
indictments charges that the Pennsyi-
vania railroad did not file with the
interstate commerce commission tar
if showing its rates. and charges fol
the transportation of oil.
Might Cost EN- 81 100000.
Each of the twenty-five counts CON
stitutes n separate offense, and the pc
nalties if the defendants were convict
ed on all counts would amount to ST.
100000. The substance of the charges
is that in 1904 the Pennsylvania rail
road made to the Standard Oil com
pany a rate of 16.1 cents on 100 pounds
of oil from Olean to Rutland, when the
published rate at that time was Is
cents. The testimony was that the
shipments were often made over other
routes than the ones in the published
schedule Substantially the same
charge is made against the Standard
Oil company and the Vacuum Oil com
pany, the Indictment reading that they
accepted the rebate.

entirely destroyed by fire Saturday
night, entailing loss estimated at ST.
100000. !
The fire spread to the stables Of the
st. Louis Transfer company, and 200
horses and as many wagons were
burned, in addition to the destruction
of the building. The fire originated in
a brick engine house 80 feet away
from the elevator proper, and was dis
covered by the nightwatchman.
Before the arrival of the fire de-
partment the flames had spread to the
elevator. Assistance was sent from st.
Louis, and the efforts of the firemen
were principally directed toward pre-
venting the fire spreading to adjoin-
ing elevators and warehouses, the
Union elevator having been converted
into furnace within a few minutes
after it caught fire.
The heavens were brilliantly illum-
mated and it is estimated lat 50,00C

banks of the Mississippi river and the
Eads bridge.

The father of Campbell Bannreman,
the new prime minister of England,
laid the foundation of his fortune in
Glasgow by abolishing in his place of
business the system then known as
"prigging." To "prig" was to bar
gain and beat down the price of goods.
Mr.. Campbell started marking t he
price of goods in plain figures, from
which his salesman we're allowed to
make no reduction. His success was
immediate and great. He rose to be

knighted by Victoria.

over, the imposition of her superior

manned mistaken, while their conclur
sion was not complimentary to the dis
