away from it.
Mr.. Della of Houghton was a pleas

christian lives have endeared them to
all who knew them.
P. X. Willis, city weigher, reports
for last month fees amounting to even

that the investment of city scales is

benefit to the citizens af the town by
reason of the city scales always being

returns.

Robbed BY Confidence Game.

I've been robbed of dollar" Jerome
Harris, colored, resident Of Centerville.
Va, said, when he called at police head
quarters last night. He explained that he
was walking along 7th street when he saw
a colored man stoop and pick up pocket
book Another colored man tapped him on
the shoulder and called his attention to the
incident saying they ought to say some
thing to the finder Of the pocketbook. 1t
was made plain to him that the finder
would have to give up hush money and
the latter was spoken to about his find.
Admitting that he had found the money
and saying he was willing to share it with
the two men who had seen him pick it up.
the finder went with the two men to an
alley. There, he explained, he was unable
to make change and asked Harris what
amount of money he had.
II have a dollar here" the man from
Centerville said.
"Give it to me for q few minutes" the
man who pretended he had found money
said. land I'll give you two for it in a
short while"
The countryman handed over the money
and he was told to wait a few minutes.
When he grew tired of waiting he went to

FIRE HORSE INJURED
TRUCK CoLLIDES WITH CAR
WHILE RESPONDING TO ALARM.

An alarm was sounded about IL 80 o'clock
last night for fire in a closet at 1908 18th
street northwest occupied by Elsie Jenkins.
The interior WOODWARD and some clothing
were burned. The flames were extinguished
before any serious damage resulted. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
While responding to the alarm the men,
bers of No. truck company had an excit-
ing experience while passing over the cross
ing at 9th and L streets. A southbound
car happened to reach the crossing stimuli
taneously with the truck, and it was impos-
sible for the driver of the horses, Geo. r.
MCGEE, or the motorman in charge of the
car, Daniel ]. Bouy. to prevent collision.
The result was that the team struck the
trailer of the electric train and derailed it.
The crash alarmed pedestrians and pas
sengers on the cars, and messages were &C
cordingly sent to the Emergency Hospital
for ambulance. The District veterin-
arian was also summoned because of a
serious injury received by one of the fire
horses. The animal that was hurt was re-
Gently purchased in Baltimore and had been
in the service but short time. A serious
wound was made in the left side Of the an
mal near the heart, which, it is feared, will
result fatally.
None of the firemen or passengers on
the cars was injured and the ambulance
returned to the hospital 1t was stated that
the driver of the fire horses was speeding
at ABOUT the rate that is usually MAIN
tanned at street car crossings. and that
he did not see the car until it had cleared
the north side A on the north-bound
tracks had stopped, and 1t was stated.
the motorman motioned to the motorman
on the south-bound car to stop. The latter
car did not comply, however, and the col
lision followed.
Some of t-e persons who witnessed the
accident sail they thought the motorm an
made an effcr- TO SOP his car and that
If he had no. done the car would prob
ably have cleared the crossing in time to
have prevented an accident Sumner Will

and Florence Matthews also co.ored. whose
home is at Al Temperance Hall alley, were
among the passer gers who were in the
trailer When it ives deraled. JIt were not
injured The truck was slightly damaged
and was prevented from going to the fire.
Capt. Beers, who was in charge of the
truck, left the vehicle as sool as the ac-
cident had happened and as soon as he
was satisfied that none of his men had been
hurt he looked after the injured horse.
Policemen Lee and Carln of the sec nd
precinct made an investigation of the acct
dent and submitted a report of it to police

ROBBED THE TRAIN.
Daring Hold-Up Near Redwater,

REDWATER, Texas. December 1.-The
express car attached to a -westbound train
of the st. Louis and Southwestern Rail-
road Cotton Belt) was robbed tonight, and
Express Messenger W. A. Grissip was
hurled from the moving train after being
beaten and wounded by the robbers The
robbery occurred about mile west of Red
water but was not discovered until the
train had reached Eylau. The express mes
senger was found lying beside the track,
severely hurt. The robbers escaped. The
amount stolen is not yet known, although
the car was ransacked.
Officers have started after the robbers
and a special train has also been sent from
Redwater.

A BUSY SESSION.
That is the Opinion Of Representatives
Who Are Here.

The last few days have witnessed the ar
rival of an exceptionally large number OF
senators and members Of the House OF
Representatives, and the indications are
that when the final session of the Fifty
ninth Congress opens at noon tomorrow
there will be full attendance in both
houses. There has so far been very little
opportunity for conference among leaders,
but most of them agree in the opinion that
the session will be a very busy one. The
House committee on appropriations has
been at work for a week with the hope of
having a supply bill ready for considera-
ton at the beginning Of the session, and
while 1t has become evident that it will
not be entirely successful in that direction,
there is no doubt that it will be able to
report soon after converting, and that the
House at least will soon be engaged with
the real business of the session, which is
the consideration of the appropriations fol-
the next fiscal year.

INVENTORS DISCOVERY.
Chemical Process Which May Effect
Revolution in Paper Industry,

Products of a chemical process whose
development may effect a wonderful revc-
luton in the paper industry of this coun-
try, are to be seen In the home Of the in
ventor, DIR. Robert r. Roberts, in this city
DR.. Roberts Investigations for the utili-
cation OF the cotton plant in manufactures
in the discovery which is now ready
for public introduction. Cottonseed can be
delinted. he says. in five minutes without
injuring the terminating qualities of the
seed and without affecting the value for
the manufacture OF oil.
In the delinting process all defective seed
Is cast out, thereby enabling the planter to
use the drill machine in planting cotton
eliminating. in measure. the enormous
expense of chopping out the surplus cotton
stalks. He claims, furthermore, that his
delnting process will effectively destroy
or larvae are laid in the terminating point
of the seed or are alternating in the form
of a beetle in the loose cottonseed-
The seed; according to Dr. Roberts. can
process cotton stalks can be converted In
twenty-four hours into fine fiber, similar
TO cotton in texture, which. he claims will
make the finest paper in the world.
In addition to paper stock, various BIZ
products. such as alcohol. guncotton, nitro
gen and smokeless powder can be produced
in paying quantities. The time Is not far
distant, says the inventor, when plants for
the manufacture of paper from both cotton
stalks and cottonseed hulls equipped with
all modern appliances and machinery and
also fitted to save and utilize the biprod-
ucts, will be built and operated throughout
the cotton-growing states of the south. The
establishment of these mills will develop a
new industry of enormous proportions
and utilize the two waste products, which
at present are of comparatively small
value. 1t will check the inordinate and In
creasing cost of all grades of paper
1t is estimated that on an area Of land
producing a bale of cotton at least one ton
of cotton stalks can be gathered Upon
this calculation the new industry could de-
pend annually upon 100000 tons Of cotton
stalks and at least 100000 tons of cotton
hulls as raw material for paper stock This
would furnish not only the home paper
market, but also permit of the export Of
either paper or pulp or the finished prod
ucts OF various kinds to foreign countries.
