HURLED HIS ANTAGONIST
From Lofty Roof of Federal Building,
Following Desperate Duel.

Macon, Ca, May ia duel to the
death was fought 100 feet in the air
between Foremac Battle, in charge of
the construction of the federal build
ing, and d. M. Berry, one of his assist
ants. The duel took place on the very
top of the building.
People in the street below saw the
two men struggling on the roof. One
appeared to hit the other with some
weapon. The blow seemed to paralyze
the stricken man, who was seized ny
his antagonist, pushed to the very
verge of the roof and then hurled off
to the pavement below.
The body in its downward flight
struck scaffolding after scaffolding,
and every bone must have been broken
before it reached the ground. Specta-
tors discovered that the dead man was
Berry.
Officers went to the top of the build
ing and arrested Battle, who admitted
having fought with Berry. but said
that he had fallen accidentally Battle
says that he was attacked by Berry
with an iron bar, and then defended
himself.
AS the tragedy was on federal prop
Ierty Battle is held by government Of

CHARGED WITH "eRAFTINe."
Lumherman and Ex-Superintendent of
Light Plant Held BY Officers.

Columbus, O.-W. B. Moore and Will
liam Wilcox. the latter formerly su-
perintendent of the city light plant,
were arrested in the offices of the may
or's probe committee on the charge Of
obtaining money from the city by issu-
ing false vouchers for electric light
poles never delivered and received
therefor the sum of $4,OS6.
Moore, who is the agent for the
Western Lumber Co, of Denver, and
who had the contract to furnish poles
to the city, broke down under the
strain of the iIquisition conducted by
the probers, and confessed that he was
guilty and said that ne had divided
the money with Wilcox, giving him
the sum of s2,043.
The technical charge against WIZ
cox is conspiracy with Moore to de-
fraud the city. Moore, it was explain
ed, drew up the false vouchers, using
''phoney" car numbers and false fig
ures to the extent of 522 poles, worth
S4OS6.

All Cutting SaWino.

Knives, no matter how carefully
sharpened, are little saws; the grind
ing away of the steel, done by the
stone, is not an even work, but when
the edge gets thin is process of tear
ing away tiny bits of steel by the grit
of the stone. This tearing makes the
teeth. A fine stone makes fine teeth,
coarse stone coarse teeth. A carving
knife, used on meat, is sharpened on
coarse stone or a steel, and has coarse
teeth, although it's edge is thick It's
action in parting the meat is more that
of saw than a fine wedge. No mat
ter how soft 1t may be, it will not
cut easily unless it is drawn over the
meat and not simply pressed down.
A razor, however, with its paper-like
edge, will cut into flesh with a simple
pressure-it is wedge dividing the
fibers of flesh just as wedge of iron
divides the fibers of the log it splits.
But razor is a saw, too, only as it is
ground on the finest stones and later
finished with leather strop, it's teeth
are very fine indeed-hundreds aud
hundreds to the inch of blade.-St.
Nicholas.

STATE NEWS HAPPENINGS
MUST RAISE THE PRICE
Or Reduce Size, Because Of Pure Food
Laws, Declare Master Bakers.

Sprin gfield, O.-As a result of the
pure food laws it is the opinion of the
members of the Ohio Association of
Master Bakers that they must either
raise the price of bread, cake and pies
or decrease their size. This subject
was considered by the delegates after
the address OF State Dairy and Food
Commissioner R. w. Dunlap, who gave
review Of the state and national
laws.
Simon Hubig, of Cincinnati. who is
chairman of the national committee on
food products, stated that they would
meet at Washington, d. c., with the
department of agriculture in about two
weeks, when the question of standards
would be considered. If certain
standards are required, he said, the
bakers will have to do something.
George Schneider, of Cincinnati, and
Robert Morton, of Detroit discussed
the effect of the pure food laws.
Frank Middleton, of Marion, Ind, also
spoke
Cleveland, Akron and Lima were
suggested for the semiannuai meeting
in October, but it was finally decided
to leave this matter in the hands of
the executive committee.
1t was decided to send committee
to Detroit next month to represent
Ohio at the Michigan meeting.

ROCKS FELL IN FRONT OF FLYER,
Leaving Two Men Dangling at End
of Ropes 800 Feet in Air.

Pittsburg, May 18.-As the result of
a heavy fall Of rocks in Allegheny,
about 500 yards distant from the
Woods Run Station of the Ft Wayne
railroad, three men had narrow escapes
from death and the Cleveland flyer,
No. 319, narrowly escaped being
wrecked. The men are Foreman Thos.
Perkin, Foreman John Adams, and
George Gitosh, laborer
Perkins and Gitosh, suspended from
the top of the cliff by ropes, had been
at work removing the rocks that were
threatening to fall and block the
tracks They were about 100 feet from
the top, and beneath, at a distance of
800 feet, were the tracks, near which
Adams was keeping guard and super
intending the work of so laborers who
were removing the powders as they
were broken into smaller pieces.
Suddenly the ledge on which Perkin
and Gitosh were standing moved from
under them and before the two men
could pick firmer standing place they
were suspended by the ropes in mid
air.
While in this peril the Cleveland
flyer came along with it's increasing
speed and almost ran into the bowld
ers that had become dislodged and
wedged on westbound track No. 1. 1t
was brought to stop, however, just
as the DilCt of the engine touched the
rocks. Perkin and Gitosh succeeded
in hauling themselves to the top of the

WIRING THE CAPITOL
Cost Nearly as Much as Electric Plant
in State Hospital.

Columbus, O.-The state emergency
board authorized these deficiencies:
Reporter OF supreme court, on account
OF salary. $1,S75; Massillon state hos
pital. reservoir for water supply. 81.
$50; Columbus state hospital, electric
generator, $76G0; adiutant general.
wiring and conduits for statehouse.
$4,000; Lorain strike riat, $1.62S. and
attorney general. $4,000 for special
counsel and stenographic work.
1t developed in the allowing OF these
deficiencies that the Columbus state
hospital was allowed $500 for an ad-
ditional dynamo for its independent
electric light plant, while the adjutlnt
generals department was given $4,000
for wiring and Ia. ing conduits in the
statehouse. The last session OF the
general assembly appropriated $25.000
for an independent lighting plant for
the statehouse, but it was always
claimed that one could not be secured
for that amount. However, the officers
Of the Columbus state hospital claim
they can purchase one for $1,000,
which is slightly more than it cost to
wire the capitol. Then, again, the
state hospital is about ten times larg.
er than the capitol building.

time to time returned to camp and by
a peculiar whinny and neigh reported

But to come down to the present
day, it is related by a retired New
England clergyman, whose sands of
life had nearly run out, that one day
on leading his horse down through a
lane to brook for a drink the animal
suddenly halted and, turning its head
round, grabbed up with its teeth one of
it's hind shoes which had just dropped
off, and, holding it in it's mouth with
the nails dangling, it backed up against
stone wall and clapped it onto it's
hoof and with a few violent kicks
nailed it on again.

Calmly Said the Boy, When Sentenced
to Ninety.Nine Years in Prison.

st. Louis, Mo-, May 16.--"It's a
pretty long time" calmly remarked
John Stapp, Is years old, as he was
led from the juvenile court after be.
ing sentenced to 80 years in the peni-
tentiary for the murder of Mrs. Otilla
Kraus, by stabbing her in the back
with cheese knife in her grocery. The
Boy pleaded guilty. The motive for
the murder was robbery.
Mrs. Klaus had noticed the boy look.

and knowing his bad reputation, took
800 that she had hidden and put it
in her stocking, which action was seen
by the boy.
Stapp was out on parole from the
Juvenile court for robbing the till of
a poolroom at the time he killed the
woman. Stapp appeared in court with.
out an attorney, and James E. Dane,
assistant probation officer, was ap-

HERoIsM OF ATTENDANTS
Prevented Loss of Life in Burning Of
Orphan Asylum.

Bellefontaine, O.-The Logan Coun-
ty childreE's home was destroyed by
fire, and that none of the inmates was
lost was due only to the heroic efforts
of those to whose care they had been
committed. The fire started in the at
tic, and by the time it was discovered
had made its way to the floor on
which were the dormitories. All of
the contents of the building were con-
Sumed.
The fire came when the children
were studying their Sabbath-school les
sons, and most of them were in the
building. Strangely enough the smoke
was first noticed in the basement, but
when the attendants made rush for
the fire eXtingisheTs and pals of wa
ter and started upstairs they were re-
pulsed by a furious blaze All efforts
were then eXeTted toward saving the
little ones. A one-year-old child was
among the last saved.
The building was a three-story brick
and stone structure, very substantial
and ornate and the pride of the coun-
ty. 1t was built at cost of 100000
and carried $4,000 insurance. The
origin is mystery.

THREATS OF AGENTS
OF THE STRIKERS FRIGHTENED
THE MoToRMAN,
AND HIS CAR GOING AT FULL SPEED
Left the Rails, Smashing a Store
Killing One and Fatally Iniurino
Five Others.

Evansville, Ind, May 1S.-The first
bloOdshed in the traction strike, was
when a street car on the Walnut
street line, going at full speed, dashed
from the track at Walnut and Eighth
streets, striking a confectionery store,
tearing away the whole front of the
structure, fatally injuring two, per-
haps three, persons and several others
seriously. Beneath the debris little
1S-moths-old child was buried and may
die.
The exact cause of the accident Is
not established, but it is believed to
have been due to fright on the part of
the nonuniOn motorman on the car.
He had lost his head and turned on
full power. A few blocks away from
the scene of the accident two men had
boarded the car. 1t is said that they
were strike sympathizers. They asked
the mCtorman to abandon the car and
join the union. Several passengers
say that the strike sympathizers were
fighting with the motorman.

statement, disclaiming all responsible
ity for the accident.
Car Was Rocking.
AS far as two blocks away the car
was seen rocking as it came down the
street at high speed. The downward
slope of the street at this point and
the shallCwness of the switches caused
the car to swerva as it reached the
corner and crash with great force into
the confectionery building.
j. P. Gates, a strike sympathizer
from Central City, and James A. Will
liams, another strike sympathizer,
from Louisville, were talking to the
motorman when the accident happen
ed. Gates was so badly injured that
he died soon after reaching hospital.
Williams was crushed by falling brick
and is in serious condition. The little
1S-months-old child of Max Kohn,
pawpbroller, was seriously injured.
The infant was in gOcart in front Of
the store when the crash came. The
injured are in hospitals.
officers of the street car company.
most of whom live at Lafayette, Ind,
are holding meeting. Business men
Of the city say that the strike is hurt

will try to get the street car manage
ment and strikers together that CON-
promise may be effected Leaders of
the union say they will listen to any
reasonable demands"
The Central Labor Union held anoth-
er meeting at which the strikers were
advised not to do anything that would
tend to hurt ther cause.
