Judge Says He Would Burn Woman

Bellyille, N. J.-"If | had the
power, l would have you taken into
the street with feet and hands tied
and burned at the stake.
This is what Justice La Faucherie
said to Mrs. Matte G. Weaver, who,
with her daughter, Lillian, thirteen
years old, white, were arrested in a
raid by the police in house occupied
by Ida Stephens in Heckel street,
BelleyilleI along with three women
and man, all negroes. The girl
told the Court that her mother had
compelled her to become an inmate
of the house.
Justice La Faucherie and the con-
stables wept when the girls story was
unfolded. The woman denied the
charge.
All of those arrested are now in the
County Jail to await the action of the
Grand Jury.

Twenty-Five dollars a pair is asked

wide-brimmed sailor trimmed in such
wings and worn far enough back on
the head to show the front hair is
one Of the most successful models Of
the season.

pApER1NG ON WOODEN WALLS.

This can be done by first covering
the boards with the brown paper used
On floors. Make paste of -four and
water without cooking, and to each
gallon of the paste add small hand
full of glue previously dissolved.
Spread this paste on one side of the
floor paper as you would ordinary
wall paper, and tack the top end close
to the ceiling, pressing the paper
tightly to the wall from thence to the
floor, using brush or cloth, being
sure to run out any wrinkles or "blis-
ters. On this the wall paper may be
hung in the usual way. Oil cloth
which comes for this purpose may be
readily hung, and gives good service,
being more sanitary than paper, as it
can be wiped off without injury.
For an clubhouse, or summer
kitchen, there is really nothing that
will take the place Of good white
wash, as this will not only sweeten
and disinfect, but will put a stop to
the bugs and worms that show a
liking for such places.

IRON MARKET IS
 IN SOLID BASIS Stock Market Disasters Do Not
 Affect Prices TRADE CON TINUES DULL Some Miners of the Mesaba Range Have Left the District for Quiet CT Localites-crude Steel
 Supply Not Improved.
TRADE CON TINUES DULL

Cleveland O., August 14.-(Special)- say:
 Sharp declines in the stock market and predictions of disaster naturally at tracted attention in the iron world during the past few days, but the for mer do not reflect conditions in the iron market, and the latter come from men so closely connected with the re- cent prosecutions of the government that they are not so unbiased as to be able to judge justly or look hopefully Into the future.
 It is true that some concessions in the prices on pig iron have been made. but there Is no expectation of further decided recessions. owing to the un satisfactory labor conditions on the Lake Superior iron mines, particularly occurred shipments are about twenty per cent below expectations. Many miners are seeking other pursuits or are returning to the old world on ac count of the reign of terror which re- gently existed at the mines.
 The week has been one of continued dullness in pig iron, and there is general tendency toward slightly low CT prices. Reports that the supply of crude steel has improved are not well founded. The leading interest since April 1, has bought S6, 300 tons of billets for delivery before October l. and Is steadily refusing renewal of contracts to sell.

QUESTION UNDECIDED.
Transportation of Southern B/tween
 Florence and Main Line.

Florence, August 14.-(Special)-The mooted question of transportation facili- ties between Florence and the main line of the Southern railroad at Tuscumbia is still undecided, the Southern having sub mitted a proposition to the Young Men $ Commercial club to continue the service of the branch road, under which Flor ence is cut off from the main line dur ing the night hours or to substitute there for an electric car service, the South ern arranging with the Sheffield company to meet all trains and transfer passen- gers and baggage to Florence.
 At a recent meeting of the Young Men 5 Commercial club strong opposition to the proposed change developed upon the tech nical ground that Florence would be los ing a railroad. The Florence branch ot the Southern has been operated at loss since the electric car line was put in operation three years ago, but the com pany, under the terms of their franchise Is obliged to continue the service unless released by the people of Florence and Sheffield The official bodies of Sheffield have agreed to the change and the failure of the commercial club to reach con- clusion refers the matter back to the railroad.

FIRE AT LOTHIAN.
Property Loss Amounts to Something
 Like $2o,0oo.

Dothan, August (Special)- "A disastrous fire broke out here Tues day afternoon at o'clock in Merritt's boarding house, and before the flames were extinguished over $20,000 worth of property was destroyed. Besides the boarding house, the residence of Mrs. Glenn and MT. o. P. Green burned to the ground. Mrs. Glenn lost everything but her piano, but MT. Green was more fortunate, all of his household effects being carried out before the house caught.
 II. $. Stern, one of the boarders of the Merritt house, was in his room on the second floor when the building caught fire, and when he discovered it all ave- nues of escape were cut off, the stair steps being in flames. He ran to the window and jumped to the ground, a distance of several feet. He was picked up in an almost unconscious condition, having dislocated his hip, his left leg broken and one of his ankles fractured. MT. Stern is in a serious condition, but 1t is thought he will recover. The ori- gin of the fire is unknown.
