SLUMP IN Pig IRON
CAUSED BY MILLIKEN

PITTSBURG. June 1.-THE financial
disaster which overlook the big steel
firm Of Mlllken Brothers, in New York.
had the result of dumping on an already
falling market about g, 900 tons OF first
class pig iron As a result there was
a further slump in the pig iron market.
Spot pig iron has been hammered down
10 $3.50. a loss OF 81 from last week
Indications are that prices viii go still
lower.
The Milliken pig iron, which amounted
TO about $4,000 worth, could not be
handled by the firm now in distress.
As n result there has been started
vast resale by the original holders. The
Milliken people had bought at the top
market about S25 a ton. The resaIes
will be at not more than $3.50. which
will entail a big loss to the Pittsburg
iron men.
The Milliken pig iron incident brought
out. also, some facts as 10 the wild
buying of that firm in the Pittsburg dis
tTict previous to the New York crash.
They bought pig iron and other unfn-
ished product at the highest prices
while the finished product from their
mills did not increase in value. II is
thought the reckless buying in the
Pittsburg district may have had much
to do with Fastening the end.

COW LOST TAIL,
GOAT HIS EARS
Dumb Beasts Manned While
Peacefully Resting in
Their Barn.

NEW YORK, June 27.-First It was
the tail of his COW. and then il was
the ears of his pet goat that were cut
off. and Max Rong wondered what one
of his animal possessions next was to be
manned. The COW lost her rear ap-
pendage when size was chewing her eud
in her stall. That anyone should do
such thing and do it without being
caught OF leaving the least clue puzzled
not only Rong. but the Bayonne police.
The Society for the Prevention Of Cru
city 10 Animals was informed OF Rong's
cows loss, and 1t was preparing for an
investigation OF the case when the Sec
ond surgical operation In the same barn
was performed.
The goat lost his ears. II could not
have been because he was j coW0rd.
afraid TO defend himself in approved
goat fashion. for he was known as the
most valiant butter in the neighbor-
hood. 1t IS thought by those who know
the animal best that he must have been
approached from behind and given
knockout drops. However Il was done,
the police are of the belief that Pong
has 2n enemy who is mean enough TO
take his spite out on dumb animals. but
they have not found out yet who II Is.

DEAD MANS BODY
HURLED INTO CAR
Police Bafled to Know
How Man Was
Killed.
Car Panic on Brooklyn
Bridge AS Corpse
Crashes In.

NEW YORK. June H.--Baffled to ex-
plain how the mangled body Of young
man was catapulted through the win
dow Of a Third avenue trolley car near
the east tower of the Brooklyn bridge.
the New York police department has as
signed its cleverest detectives to &C
count for a tragedy the mystery OF
which might puzzle Sherlock Holmes
himself.
The victim is believed. from cards
found in his pockets, to have been John
Nelson, a Brooklyn machinist.
The Third avenue car was just ap-
preaching the bridge tower late when
a heavy body crashed through the rear
platform window into the center of the
aisle. 1t was a mans corpse. The neck
and jaw were broken and two ribs we're
damned into the lungs. The body
couldn't have fallen from directly over
head. for the roof Of the car extends
three feet over the window. There were
no wagons or automobiles above which
might have struck and hurled II into the
air.
The police figured that the man must
have tumbled from an L. or cable
train. struck a pillar and bounded side
ways into the car. No car can be
CURED.
Several of the passengers seriously
advance the theory that the man fell
from balloon, but the police scout the
idea
There was a panic in the car when the
corpse bounded through the window.
The conductor and motOrman were ar
rested.

WIFE TOLD LIE:
ACCUSESJUDGE
UnfroCked Minister, Who
Ran Away With Church
Choir Girl, Is Bit
terly VindictiVe.

TRENTON, y. J., June 27.-Posing as
a martyr, bitterly denouncing his deply-
wronged spouse and the judge who SEN
fenced him, J. Frank CardOva. South
Rivers unfrocked minister. serving a
term in the penitentiary for abandoning
his wife, today broke his silence OF
years. Alleging that his little daughter
was coached to lie away his liberty and
that his heavy sentence was the result
Of attacks he made on the judge for fail
ure 10 enforce the law in cases of Sun
day selling, Cardova addressed a lengthy
petition 10 the court Of pardons and
asked 70 be liberated for all time or at
least paroled.
His appeal will doubtless fall upon
unheeding ears, however, as the volu-
minous and vituperative petition does
not bear the signature Of any resident
Of Micdlesex county. where he was SEN
fenced. The deposed minister, whose
hason with Julia Bovine, a member Of
the choir Of his church, so terribly
shocked the little town of South River
three years ago, studiously avoids any
mention of his victim His thoughts
seem to be Of himself alone. and IN his
smiling and sentimental petition he
cries out persecution"

OLD SHELL IN TREE
BREAKS MIL KNIFE

NEW CASTLE, Ind. June IA piece
of shell imbedded in the heart of an
oak tree destroyed the knives in a plan
ing mill at the Hoosier Cabinet Works
here. The logs from which the lumber
had been cut were purchased in Vir-
ginia. and some heavy pieces had been
sawed out and one of them placed on
the planer. AS the machine reached the
middle Of the log sparks were emitted
from the knives. and pieces of them flew
in all directions.
A second time they passed over the
same part of the oak timber and were
broken and tangled in the machine
Examination proved that a piece of a
shell. probably fired into the tree during
the civil war. was buried in the oak and
had caused the destruction of the knives
in the planer.

hours, He and Miss Bovine went 20
Washington where they were arrested
on March l. The following day they
were brought 10 South River. Miss
Bovine was released because no charge
was made against her. Abandonment
was the most serious charge that could
be preferred aainst CardOva, and he was
quickly brought TO the bar Of justice

the name Of Frank c. Gamboa," ana
the girl said she was Miss Fanny

were rigidly cross-QuesuOned and FIN

said he would never be prosecuted be-
cause he loved his wife too well and
she loved hi mtoo much to testify
against him. On March they left
Washington in charge Of a New Jersey
detective.
The minister's trunk was filed with
letters, couched in endearing terms, from

The editor of the Starke Telegraph
was speaker of the House in the last
legislature, and in discussing the
great conspiracy" in his paper, he
sizes up peter" and "Claud" with
a genial sarcasm which doubtless ex-
presses the views of large body Of
disinterested people who have seen
no reason to get violently excited on
either side of the issue. He says:
TO be brutally frank, Peter and
Claud take themselves too seriously
and in turn take one another too
seriously. Peter has an idea that all
the railroads in the State would be
torn-up root and branch if he did
not make his biennial visits to Tai

octopus would run of with the State
If ne were not on hand every minute
the legislature is in session. They
are honest in this. It's the way with
some people. But, as We said, they
take themselves too seriously. We
are informed on what appears to be
good authority that the legislature
used to meet about every two years
before Peter or Claud eve saw the
red hills Of old Leon, and tradition
has it that these meetings got on
moderately well with the affairs Of
State minus the presence Of either, Of

Gov. Broward is reported as say
ing, in his speech at Lake Butler, on
July 4th, that The Times-Union,
Gainesville Sun, Jasper News, Live
Oak Dem erat, Lake City Index and
Lake Butler Star, are all owned body
and soul by the corporations. There
must be some mistake about this. If
he did say so, insofar as this paper
is concerned, he stated what We shall
mildly say was untrue.-Lake City
Index.
We, too, think there must be some
mistake in the paragraph, and that
the Governor did not classify the
Democrat as being owned body and
soul by the corporations" i. e., the
railroad interests and other arms of
the octopus" No paper in Florida
S moreabsOlutely independent Of such
influences than is the Democrat, and
1t would be lagrantly and inexcus-
ably untrue to say that the corpora
tons either owned it or exercised
the slightest control over its columns.
Governor Broward studiously affects
to think little Of the State papers not
IN line with his policies 1--WE all know
how that is-it's an old trick in the
game of politics and fools only the
uninitiated), but it is probably a mis-
take to report him as stating in a
public speech that the Live Oak
Democrat was owned body and soul
by the corporations" He never had
a scrap of evidence in his life to
justify him in making such a state
ment and the statement itself Il
MAJ e by him or anyone else, hasn't a
grain Of truth in it.

We have so much faith in the

suggestions received, and because il

shift to be cast aside at the first con-
venient opportunity. The curse Of
ineficiency will rest upon the teach
ing in any school if the teacher holds
his work as drudgery and watches
the clock as eagerly as the restless
children committed to his keeping.
That kind of instruction is not value

the bill, and no conscientious teacher

the bored and languid pedagogus

THE EXAMPLE, OF DEFUNIAK.

The good town Of DeFuniak. in
West Florida. has done something al
most startling. and most meritOriOus,
as well. which sets a bright and noble
example to every other community in
the State. 1t has convicted a white
loafer there Of the crime Of yagrancy.
and not only fined him, but given him
three months Imprisonment also.
And this convicted vagrant. mind
you, was not strolllng vagabond
caught passing through. without the
moral pressure which the home-raised
kind can so often exert to pull them
out of trouble. He was a citizen Of
DeFuniak, but he had reached the
limit and the law actually got color
blind In his case and treated him juss
Ike he was common Niger" II
We can get the law to acting that
way all over Florida, what a marvel
Gus change for the better there would
be all along the line! Not only would
the white Vagrant promptly hunt a
job or make himself scarce, bur the
moral effect Of such administration OF
the law would be of priceless value to
both races. 1t would give the guilty
white man to understand that his
color couldn't save him, and it would
take from the negro the sullen re-
sentiment he feels when he sees dis
elimination in favor of the white
criminal merely because he is white,
and give him vastly increased respect
for and fear of a power that played
no favOrites. The comment Of the
DeFuniak Breeze upon the new de-
parture Of the law over there is good
for every other town in Florida as
we'll as DeFuniak, and for that rea-
son We reproduce it:
'The Breeze is entirely impersOnal
when it says that it regards the con-
viction for yagrancy as one Of the
best things that ever happened in this
town. We do not rejoice over the
misfortunes or downfall of any one,
and certainly not in the case Of the
defendant in this case. for few years
ago there was no boy in this town
growing up under like circumstances
of whom We had brighter hopes. So
that it is not that this particular one
was convicted, but that there was q
conviction, and as a result that class
that has been loafing the streets, de-
pending upon craps and the washing
their wives might do for a livelihood
have gone to work and are supplying
part Of the demand for labor. It
was much better too, that it should
have been white man than a negro
that was made an example of. A
convict n of a white man for this Of
Tense will put an end to loafing ne
groes in this section, as we'll as set
the white loafers to doing something,
while had the defendant been a negro
its effect would have gone no further
than the members of his own race.
There is too much to do, and too
much demand for labor for there to
be any room for loafers. II other
town and counties will follow the ex-
ample set by DeFuniak there will be
much less cry for men to work"
