In order that rolling stock may be

a big increase in the force was made
in the car repairing department of

Chicago to put on 30 men, and this
morning many applicants We're on
hand for positions. As many as were
sound, we're accepted, and
before the week is out the entire 80
will have been secured. IL IL expect
ed the large force will be kept en-
ployed for so days. Work is plenti-
full and many cars needed for the in
creased traffic enjoyed on the Louis
vile, Nashville and Tennessee divis-
ions.
Few shop employees were of duty
this morning. The rain put stop
to celebrations generally yesterday

PACKING HOUSE
PRODUCTS INJURED BY FALSE
REPORTS SENT OUT.
European Trade Will BE Hurt Unless
Different Tone Is Taken--Meat
Is Inspected.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 3.-Mis-
representations of conditions in
American packing houses is costing
the United States a tidy sum OF
money.
Foreign confidence in American
meat products continues to be shaken
by reports credited TO American
newspapers and American experts al
leging that the new meat inspection
law either is not being effectively en-
forced or is inadequate to insure
healthfui food. AS a result the ex-
port meat trade, worth in normal
times more than s2OO.OOO.0'0O, not
only shows little signs of improve
ment, but is in real danger of falling
below the poor record of the last fis-
cal year.
The department of agriculture
thinks 1t high time the press of the
country should stop the circulation
of slanderous statements concerning
conditions in packing houses.
Inspection System Is Thorough.
"The new meat inspection law, F"
said DR.. A. ID. Melvin, chief of the
bureau OF animal industry, "has re-
suited in requiring 700 establish
ments to have inspection, when pre-
viously but 1853 had inspection. The
old law gave no authority beyond
the inspection at the time of slaugh-
ter of the animal, did not grant SUI
pervision over the sanitary condition
of packing houses and equipment,
and was not mandatory except in the
case of export beef. The new law
provides not only for the ante-mortem
and post-mortem inspection, but also
for the inspection and supervision of
the meats and meat food products
until they are ready to leave the es-
tablishment where inspection is main
tanned; and is compulsory upon all
those engaged in the interstate or
export trade.
1T also requires establishments To
arrange for suitable sanitary condi.
lions, and this, in some cases, made
necessary a Encouragement of the
! packing house, the introduction oil
improved dressing, toilet rooms, the
providing Of natural and artificial
light and ventilation. sanitary tables
and trucks, the laying of new floors
improving OF sewers and catch basins
and, in a word. required general
cleanliness"

Fiscal Court.

When fiscal court convened in reg
ular monthly session this morning
County Judge r. T. Lightfoot sprang
a surprise on spectators. ,He declared
that reports had reached his ears OF
slanderous words being spoken
against members of the court, and
that he was determined upon thor
ough investigation in public,
III. C. Hartley, a former member
of the court, was present, having
been asked TO appear. Judge Light
foot stated that he understood
Squire Hartley had made the asser-
ton that a son of Pat Ross, farmer
of the county, has stated Magistrates
Bleich, Rawlinson and Broadfoot,
composing a committee selected to
make an inspection OF county roads,
were not attending to business when
inspecting roads.
Mr.. Hartley declared that he made
no such statement. Ross was sum
moned and this afternoon several
other witnesses will be heard. The
report it seems had gained much
currency in the county.

Post. The Giants had a walk over the
Paducah boys who were supposed to

the Paducahs to bring in five scores.
In the sixth inning Sid Miles made a
wonderful catch in the field and
threw to first and made double.
The game resulted in the score Of IL

WHY HE WITHDREW
SUIT OVER ESTATE.
Said He Learned What lie Wished,
That Mother l. Worth Million
Instead of $4,000.

Lead, S. D., Sept. S.-In the first
Interview he has given since the sud
den termination of his suit for an ac-
counting of the estate of his mother,
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy. George w.
Glover, of this city, who has just re-
turned from the east, gives the rea-
sons for the dismissal
Glover declares that the hearing
was not unproductive of results,
since 1t disclosed the fact that his
mother was worth over 100000
instead of $50. O9O. as claimed, while
.he suit forced those surrounding her
to place all her property in the hands
of their trustees. This, he says, is
satisfactory to him, as It effectually
|displaces Calvin A. Frye and the 9th
ers against whom he says he was
really striving.
Says Masters Were Unfair.
The protection OF his mothers
property all he sought, says Glover.
He complains that the masters in the
hearing We're unfair. They made him
prepare for trial in two weeks, re-
fused him the right to take deposi-
tions or to see the necessary papers
in the case, and excluded him and his
daughter, Mary, from the hearing
that was to have taken place in the
Eddy home, as well as all his counsel
except one of his alienists, who, he
says, were prepared with some inter
|esting questions. but were told they
would be greatly restricted.
Glover admits that he would have
been permitted to talk personally
with his mother under certain condi-
tions, but these would have involved
his honor, he declared, so he declined
satisfied With Results.
81 am fully satisfied with the re-
suits, he said calvin A. Frye and
his clique are not to be trusted, and
now they are out of our mothers
way. still my mother is to certain
extent under their baneful influence
and probably always will be although
| shall always be ready to defend her
and my rights as her only child.
Il shall await future develop
ments before deciding my next step
in the case, and my only bitterness is
that | was not permitted to talk
freely with my own mother as !
wished"

GOT THE WRONG BABIES.
Curious Mixup That Occurred Recent
ly In French Hospital.

A curious mistake occurred yester-
day at the hospital at Amiens, says a
correspondent OF the London Mail.
Two young women had recently been
attended there. One had given birth
TO boy and the other had given birth
to a girl. Yesterday their babies were
taken from them TO be vaccinated.
After the vaccination the babies, in
their swaddling clothes, were returned
TO their mothers, who went away with
them. Soon afterward one Of the mo-
theirs returned to the hospital in
tears. Her child was a boy, but on re.
turning home she discovered that the
nurse had handed her a girl. She in
sisted on her boy being returned to
her scene of great confusion oc-
Cured, as nobody knew the address OF
the other mother. At last, toward
nightfall, the other mother arrived,
greatly excited, complaining that she
had been given a boy in mistake for
