INDICATED HER OF
All HIS CHARGES
Has Been One of the Most Sensa-
tional Suits Ever Tried In
America and Was Replete
With SCandalous
Testimony.

Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 21.--Mrs.
3. Mary Scott Hartje, who was sued
by her husband, F. Augustus Har-
tie, the Pittsburg millionaire for d.
vorce, won complete victory In
the Pennsylvania superior court to-
day when that tribunal affirmed In
its entirety, the decision of the Alie-
gheny county court, which refused
to grant Hartje a divorce.
The petition filed by Hartje's at
torneys in the superior court, asking
to reopen the case on the ground
OF newly discovered eyedince, was
denied. The petition to the court to
reopen the case was based on let
ters alleged to have been written by
Mrs. Hartje to Thomas Maddox.
Hartte's former coachman. who was
named as corresponding by Hartje.
Sensational Case.
The Hartje case has been before
the public for some months and 1t
has been filled with sickening accu-
sations by Hartje and denials by his
Wife The first trial in the Alle-
gheny county court resulted in a vic
tory for Mrs. Hartje. and the plain
till was forbidden to bring his suit
again. He filed a motion in the SUI
perior court. however, TO have the
case reopened on the ground that
detectives had Just discovered a
between his wife and the coachman,
relating to intimate affairs.
These letters were made a part OF
his petition and they have resulted
In the getting the coachman UP
against perjury charge. From
first 70 last the trial has been a con-
tinual effort of Hartje to blacken his
wife's character.
Detectives In the Ring.
He hired detectives TO shadow
Mrs. Hartje and 1t was due to this
fact that the alleged letters to the
coachman were discovered. These
detectives were constantly on her
track and Mrs. Hartje was forced
TO appeal TO the authorities for pro-
lection from them.
Offers of Settlement.
He offered his wife at one time
$1,000 per week for the rest of her
life If she would permit his allega-
tions against her honor to stand and
allow him to obtain a divorce. Their
two children were to be taken from
both parents and placed in a school
until they We're of age. Mrs. Hartje
Indignantly refused the offer, claim-
ing that she was guilty OF none of
his charges and that she would not
permit him to obtain a divorce at
the expense OF herself and children.
Hartje is a millionaire, many times
over, being engaged in the manufac-
ture of wall paper in this city. The
prominence of both parties made the
suit one of the most famous divorce
contests ever filed. but sympathy
was generally with the woman.

ENTIRE FAMILY BURNED
IN THEIR HOME
BY THUGS
Bodies Found In Ruins Today
With Evidence of
Foul Play. =
ROBBERY EVIDENTLY
CAUSED GREAT CRIME

Marietta, O.. Nov. 21.-Edgar
Grubb, his wife and one-year-old
boy were cremated In their home
near Beverly, this morning No ex-
planation has been given, but it is
rumored that the family met foul
play and that. TO cover the crime,
their home was fired.
1t was not known until this morn
Ing that Grubb's home had burned
as 1t occupied a location in a thick
ly wooded plat and could only be
seen from nearby. Neighbors no
ticed the smoking ruins this morn
ing and made an investigation which
disclosed the bodies of the three oc-
cupants. The house and all its con-
tents were entirely destroyed, there
being not a vestige OF any infiamma-
BILE material left. Nearby buildings
were badly scorched but none had
taken fire.
Bullet Hole I'm Body.
The remains of the owner of the
place. and his family were at widely
separated points In the house, and
from indications, Grubb had evil
IDENTIFY been shot as there is a hole
in his hip bone which could hardly
have been made by any other means.
Another hole in his skull may solve
that question as there Is no, sign OF
the supposed bullet having left his
head.
The right arm OF his wlfes body
and the vertbra of the neck were
also apparently dislocated, splintered
bones protuding from the burnt
flesh. The babes BODY was almost
entirely consumed.
Officers believe that burglars made
an attempt to rob Grubb's home last
night and that he resisted, meeting
death at their hands. To prevent

they evidently broke her neck and
arm and set the house afire, thus
destroying practically all but the
slightest evidence.

WOMAN ASPHYX|ATEO
CHILDREN AND
HERSELF
Stopped All Cracks In Room
Before Turning on
the Gas.
RELATIVES BELIEVE SHE
WAS MENTALLY DERANCED

Newton, Mass, Nov. 21.--Mrs.
VIM. 7. Hedges killed herself and
her two sons, William, aged IL. and
Butler T.. aged 6, by asphyxiation
at her home In Newtonville some
time during the night. All the
cracks around the doors and win
dows were plugged up and the gas
turned on. Hedges was absent from
his home.
The bodies of the mother and her
children were found this morning by
a neighbor. who called at their home
on an errand and who, owing to the
fact that she could arouse no one,
called in assistance and had a door
broken open. The flood OF gas near
ly repulsed the friend, but they soon
secured entrance by other doors and
found the mother and her sons lying
in their beds dead.
Evidently Premeditated.
The suicide and murder was evil
IDENTIFY carefully premeditated as
Mrs. Hedges had carefully covered
every crack around the doors and
windows with strips of cloth, tight
~ wedged in, and she had also plug
ged the keyholes of the doors with
the same material II evidently re-
quired hours of work to do this and
she must not have turned on the
fatal gas until morning, as neighbors

midnight
Mr.. Hedges. as far as known. had
no family troubles and there was no
reason for her act. unless she was
temporarily insane Her husband was
obliged TO be frequently away from
home, but she had never complained
of that feature.

Curing a Critic.

The daughter Of Il certain, states.
man has husband who is disposed
to be critical. Most of his friends are
men Of great wealth who live extrc-
mely well, and association with them
has made him somewhat hard to
please jn the matter of cooking. Fol
some time the tendency has been
growing on him.
"What is this meant for?n he
would ask after tasting an entrce his
wife had racked her brian to prepare.
"What on earth is this?' he would
say when dessert came on.
Is this supposed TO be salad? ?" he
would inquire sarcastically when the
lettuce was served.
The wife stood it as long as she
could. One evening he came home in
a particularly captious humor. His
wife was dressed in her most becom-
ing gown and fairly bubbled over
with wit. They went to dinner. The
soup tureen was brought in. Tied TO
one handle was card, and on that
card the information in a big round
hand:
"This is soup"
Roast beef followed with a placard
announcing:
"This is roast beef.'
The potatoes were labelled. The
gravy dish was placarded. The olives
bore a card marked "Olives,' sal
ad bowl carried tag marked "sal-
ADJ and when the ice pudding came
in a card announcing "this is ice
pudding' was with it.
The wife talked of thousand diff
ferent things all through the meal
never once RETIRING by word or look
to the labeled dishes. Neither then
nor thereafter did she say word
about them, and never since that eve
ming has the captious husband ven
tured to inouire the name of any
thing set before him.-Tit-Bits.

Something New In Kentucky.

Fairbanks of Indiana and Shaw Of
Iowa were, stumping Kentucky. AT
ter a successful meeting the Ken
tucky colonel who had the two Re-
publican statesmen in charge invited
them into the hotel barroom for some
refreshments.
"What'll you f,;ve9" he asked
Senator Fairbanks.
"a little cold apollinaris," was the
reply. - .
"And youq" said the host to Gov
ernor Shaw. ~.

buttermilk.
The barkeeper turned to the Ken
tuckian. "What shall I give YOU,
colonel9" he asked. ..
The Kentucky gentleman lheaved a
long sigh. "Under the circumstan-
ces," he said, ~ think you can give
me a piece Of pie"

Fertilizers For Corn.

We have referred TO fertilizers as
though we could not grow corn with
out it, but this is not the case, as
many have good lands that grow pay
ing crops without the use of any fer
tilizer. If we had to confine our
choice to only one side application
we would apply nitrate Of soda at
last cultivation.
Our observation and experience
with the Williamson method is that
planting the crop early and down in
the water furrow and the late side
application Of soluble fertilizers con-
tributes more to the success of the
Williamson method than the "stunt-
lng' of the plants.
Selecting the Seed.
We prefer a hard white grain and
not less than two ears to the stalk.
We used to want one bio ear on ac-
count of hand-shucking and gather
ing, but now we, do all the stunt of
harvesting, shucking, foddcr-pulling
and shredding by machinery. and the
number of ears. to the stalk has no
consideration in the matter. In about
100 tests of seed corn taken from
planting machines in Iowa the Amcs
Experiment Station test showed Il
difference of 20 bushels TO nearly
loO bushels in the seed to the acre.
That>is good seed, gave sometimes
81 bushels increase to the acre.

Julius Krutschnltt. general manager of all the Hartman lines. Is making a trip of Inspection of the Southern Pacific properties In this part of the southwest. In a special train from Los Angeles he came as far as Fl Centro on the valley branch Monday. He was accompanied by H. V. PIatt, superintendent of the Los Angeles division: Mir. H. B. Tltcomb, resident engineer of the same division; H. T. Cory, representing Epes Randolph. of the Arizona division; and F. C. Herr mann. chief engineer of the California Development Company.
 The party intended to come to Calexlco on Monday but changed their plans in order to give that trip more time as they will wish to inspect the rebuilt portion of the Yuma link which extends $ miles towards Yuma from Calexico. Instead of this trip the party returned to Yuma and spent Tuesday in viewing the scene of the great work accomplished by the s. P. along the Colorado, the levees. railroad and primarily. the dIvertlng works of the California Development Company at the headings.
 The California Development comp any Is planning to make Its property worth s 100000 which means that the entire system will be overhauled and placed in absolutely flrst-class shape. Wooden structures are to be replaced by steel and concrete. head gates and all waterways improved Mir. Hermann and Mir Corey have been drawing plans and estimates for thls work
 These are the plans that MT. krut schnitt and his party were shown and in visiting the actual site of the differ ent Improvements they had an oppor- tunity to see the absolute necessity of their adoption
