PRODUCE MARKET IS
SOMEWHAT DULLER.

Business was not altogether as active on
Cary Street yesterday rs the wholesale deal
ers In country produce could have wished.
The fact Is that in their efforts to supply
the demands OF reunion week the commits
slonmen rather overstocked themselves. and
the receipts since have been large enough
to keep the supply a little in advance OF the
for very many articles.
The Virginia and Carolina vegetables are
now coming in very freely, and the down
South product Is back number. Hanover
and Caroline wagons are also on the
streets. and are doing good deal to de-
moralze the vegeta BILE trade so far as the
wholesalers are concerned. Eggs are not

find no record of a Morris family be-
cause Morris was not the butcher

name was changed to Morris through
a peculiar chain OF circumstances. AS
a lad he worked in Chicago for a man
by the name of Nelson and became
known among Nelson's customers as
Nelson's Norris he having changed
his first name Moritz TO Morris. Mel
sons Morris was bright fellow and
became popular with the people whom

time people lost sight of his real fam

SCIENCE AND SAFE BLOWING.
knowledge of Chemistry Makes Work
Easy Fer German Crook.

Germany being nation of - hoiars,
it is not surprising that Il German city
should produce the first doctor of safe
blowing The individual in question
did not wait to receive the degree of
d. S. f., out took everything else he
could lay his hands on and departed,
much to the chagrin of the Dresden
police in whose district he operated
shows that much learning may alsC
be dangerous thing, seems worth the
retcllng.
The u. :. b. secured room in Il
hotel Just over the Office of money
changer 1t night he cut hole in the
wooden nooring, beneath which was
thick layer Of cement. In this he
bored small hole, through which he
thrust an umbrella. which when open
ed served to catch the fragments Of
cement without noise. When a hole
sufficiently large had been made the
-. 5. Il. clambcred down Il rope lad
der and built Lin Il tent of blankets
urDtlnu Iuc Sdlc DcHlNu llllS S'IP'l
he placed two cylinders of compressed
oxygen and an ordinary acetylene gen.
orator charged with calcium carbide
and water With these the scientific
burglar produced a blowpipe flame of
such intensity that hole was melted
In the steel door of the safe In few
minutes. Then the u. S. Il. helped
III all H.. l, t,f.1 ~,
the rope ladder and when morning
came paid his hotel bill and departed.
The crime did more than open the
eyes of the Dresden police; 1t opened
the eyes of the scientific crooks fellow
scientists, and they have set them
selves to the task Of pitting their
chemical Knowledge against that OF
the university graduated safe blowers.
1t Is pointed out that 1t will be easy
to equip safes with a chemico-mechan.
ical device with time lock attach
ment which would prove fatal To the
thief opening the strong box after the
mechanism had been set. 1t Is sug-
gested to US" device containing po-
taSsium cyanide and sulphuric acid
/
fles to the fumes of prussic acid We're
he unwary enough to set of the clock
work in the night
Still other chemical policemen are
talked of, such as the use of few
! drops Of ethyl dichler-acetate, the vol
atiliZation of which would blind the
thief If he remained near the safe
This reliance upon chemical rather
/ than upon police seems characteristic
of the Germans, but it appears only q
question of short time when the
learned crook finds other scientific
means whereby he can combat the
scientific dcfenscs of strong boxes
Upon the whole, it would strike one
as easier to leave IL gas jet burning IL
front of the safe and hire Il night
