WILL GIVE BACK RAILWAY
SAYS MORGAN LAWYER
If There Was Anything Crooked in Disposal of
 Toledo Belt Line.

Cleveland, O., July 81.-when the final petition to set aside the sale of the Toledo Belt Line railway to J. P. Morgan, on the ground of conspiracy, came up before United States Judge Robert W. Taylor here to-day, attor- neys for both contestants argued fully three hours.
 Lawyers for the railway made the statement that the road was sold to J. Pierpont Morgan in an effort to de- fraud creditors and that MT. Morgan in an effort to defraud creditors and that Mir. Morgan got possession of the property at a very low price.
 When that statement was made, Morgan's attorney jumped to his feet and exclaimed;
 Morgan will turn back the railway to it's original owners for the price he paid. plus interest, and call the deal off if anyone in this court has the aud- acity to say that we procured the prop ertv other than on honorable lines,
 After hearing the argument, Judge Taylor took the case under advlse- ment and will render a decision soon.

UNSUCCESSFUL, STRIKE.
Mill Owners Seem tosHaye Won Out
 Against Union Woodworkers.

Al1 the inside carpenters who are mil workers, including bench hands, emploved in the shops of this city are non-union men and are content 10 work on a nine-hour day wage sched- ule. The striking woodworkers quit last May because the mill owners did not consider their demands for an eight-hour day.
 Little is heard from the striking woodworkers, and only handful or them are to be seen around town. It is claimed that most of them have secured work in other cities, and that the union meetings are slirnly at tended.
 Shortly after the strike was ordered it was supposed by the woodworkers that the outside carpenters would sus- tain them in their fight for better wage conditions, and the carpenters agreed not to use any furnlshlngs turned out by scab labor In order to overcome this the contractors secured their working material from out of town factories
 It was supposed that this step would greatly embarrass the local mill owners, but prominent mill owner claims that local business in terests are unharmed, as most ot the material turned out in New Haven factories is shipped to outside New England cities and the west

Ravages at Woodmont Amount to
 Hundreds of Dollars,

Wild deer have done damage amounting to hundreds of dollars on farms near Woodmont, and corn field on the estate of Edward Burwell at Burwell's Beach lies completely ruined The market gardeners in Or ange expect to organize for protection, but what they can do against the ravages of these otherwise harmless animals they do not know,
 Montgomery Rockefeller, the whole- sale milk dealer and market gardener of Orange has also been troubled by the deer. having lost considerable money from damaged crops
 The farmers of Orange state that it is possible to find deer in their woods after fifteen minutes walk at any time, and the tracks can be seen crossing fields and roadYays in all parts of the town
 The animals have regular watering places, which are known to the in- habitants of the rural district of Orange

ROCK ONLY MICA.
w. l.. Sheahan Thought He Had Q
 Gold Mine.

Thinking that gold mine had been discovered in the very heart of the city, w. l.. Sheahan, of the firm of Sheahan & Groark, 285 State street, said yesterday that he not only staked out claim in front of his store, but carried several samples of rock to a wel]~known Chapel street jeweler, where a test was made.
 Bits of rock fairly glistened with psstticles of gold, which upon closer examination turned out to be mica, and MT. Sheahan's vision of fabulous wealth was quickly dispelled
 A gang of Italian workmen digging a ditch for the installation of electric light wires struck a good-sized edge of rock, which when picked to pieces showed particles of bright gold sub stances. The laborers themselves were easily fooled and filled their pockets with pieces of rock
 A policeman informed Mir Sheahan of the incident, and the owner of the property became impressed at once He intended to find out for himself and his answer was the old adage, 'tAll is not gold that glitters." {"

A new trade union has just been organized here-that of the profes- sional beggars. To become a member of the union it is necessary to prove that you are unable to make a living in the usual ways, that is to say, a cripple.
 Each bona fide member will be giv- en a badge to prove that he is no fakir, but actually worthy and deserv. ing of charity.
 The organizer of the union, who hopes to see it made international, is an organ grinder. named Dousinneau who lost both legs in a railroad wreck in 1888. He is a very energetic man but still more energetic are two Ot his colleagues from Marseilles, Roisin and Carlier, each the possessor ot only a left leg, who travelled all the way from Marseilles to Paris afoot in order to interest Prime Minister Clemenceau in the movement.

Since the arrival of the last car of machinery at the Verde Grande shaft, work has progressed rapidly in installing it. The last piece of the heavy machinery is in position under shelter, the substantial power house having been completed, and within day or two the plant will be in Oper- atiCn and sinking resumed in the shaft. Considering the substantial character of the machinery and build ings, and the convenience of their ar engagement there is no better equipped company outside of the big United Verde plant, in the district. The ma chinery is capable of driving the shaft much below the 1000 foot level as at first contemplated, and as it is the intention to put on three shifts of miners, rapid sinking may be expect ed in the shaft. The last round of shots in the shaft, over month ago, when work in it was closed down to make room for incoming machinery, brought up more sulphides than any previous shots, and the more rapid progress which will be made with the new machinery will be watched with keen interest. Verde Grande is count ed on as winner by some of the best mining heads of this district.
 Work on the Arkansas & Arizona shaft is progressing nicely, the shaft being almost (Within four or five feet) of the 300-foot level. The for nation is the same-cement wash which drills good but takes more holes to break the shaft than in or dinaTy rock. The gas held by the broken rock, or muck, has been caus- ing considerable inconvenience, and this has been increasing very rapidly as depth was gained, so the company is installing fiye-horse power engine and blower to pull the gas out of the bottom. It is just year since the first pick was stuck in the ground of the A. 6 As property, since which time the following machinery has been installed: One 75 h. D. boiler, UneI 60 h. ?. hoisting engine, one 400-foot air compressor with a capacity of 6 drills, one engine and blower Be sides the above they have built some road, put in 5000 feet of pipe line and storage tanks, erected a hoist house 35x40, warehouse. six dwell ings for employees, and sunk shaft goo feet ieeL. From il 90-f3ot le to the 200 the water was very bad, causing large amount of annoyance. delay and expense, but there is. very little water entering the shaft below the 200-ft. level, and here large stump has been dug, and a station station pump put in. As a result the men in the bottom of the shaft are getting good results from their work.

it had covered good half mile into French territory.
 The customs man appealed frantic ally to the motorists to stop, and promised that he would drop the per secution if they would only let him down, for he was in uniform, and would be arrested by the French au- thorities. On being at last released he said not word, but took to his heels as fast as he could in the direc- tion of the German frontier, not stop ping until he had covered it. Great amusement has been caused in Alsace- Lorraine by the incident, but the un- lucky official will probably hear more of it.

A school of aeronautics is to be started in France on the model of the Naval College at Breast: It is the idea of a number of engineers and aeronauts and is the direct result Of the successful work of the "Patrie."
 Now that several of the famous steerable balloons are to be built, it will be necessary to have aeronauts capable of guiding them, and hence it is that the State has been asked to establish an academy for the teaching of aerial navigation and the education of special engineers.
 On leaving this college the pupils will spend a term in the corps of mil tary aeronauts of the engineers, just as the pupils of the military polytech- nique spend a term at the applied school at Fontainebleau.
