another woman, received sorry well
come when he returned to his home in
Monroe, n Y, after bidding his wife
farewell at the steamer, according to
advices received here. Earle was met
by a crowd of villagers as he stepped
from the train, who at first insulted
and hooted him and then pulled him
from his carriage and dragged him
through the mud of the village streets.
Earle courageousiy faced his tor
mentors, exhorted the crowd in an
attempt to yindicate himself and then,
goaded for an instant by the insults
of the people, he seized his carriage

prevented by the appearance of Off

WRECkERS DERAIL TRAIN.
Express Escapes Disaster but Fast
Frsigh. "A Ditched.

Pittsburg, Sept 8.-Train wreckers
were at work during the evening on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at
Scott Haven and Suterville, thirty
miles east OF here. Spikes, it is said.
were drawn from the eastbound track
for the purpose, it is thought, of
catching the New York express, which
leaves Pittsburg at $50 o'clock in
the evening. The wreckers, however,
were deceived by the number of
freight and passenger trains passing
these points and the express got
through before the spikes We're
drawn
The next train following it. how
ever, a fast freight express for Phila-
delphia and New York, was not so
fortunate. When the big engine
struck the rail from which the spikes
had been drawn the rail turned over,
derailing the engine and twelve cars.
The tank of the engine Is In the
Youghiogheny river, which is dis
tance of from thirty-fiye to forty feet
below the eastbonnd track Five of
the derailed cars turned over and
were more or less wrecked, the mer-
chandise being scattered along the
tracks, while the other cars COM

Burlington Directors Declare an Extra
Dividend.

New York, Sept 6.-Directors Of
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad have declared the regular
quarterly dividend of per cent on
the capital stock and an extra divi-
dend of per cent.
Concerning the extra dividend on
the burlington stock j. j. Hill said:
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern have had Burlington for about six
years and during this time Burlington
has not paid the carrying charges OF
the joint per cent bonds to the ex-
tent of l per cent per annum and
therefore. to equalize this deficiency,
6 per cent additional has been de
clared on Burlington stock. Burling-
ton is in a very prosperous condition.
Its earnings are increasing substan-
TALLY and the annual report of 1907
will show that it has had the best
year in it's history. The additional
dividend on Burlington stock will con.
tribute about s3,250,O00 apiece to the
treasures of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. This is equivalent
to more than 2 per cent on the capital
stock of Great Northern and Northern
Pacific"

BattIeship Fleet to Return Via the

New York. Sept 6.-Some interest

patch of Admiral Evans battleship
feet to the Pacific Is published in the
Times and is credited to high au-
thority.
The administration, it Is stated,
does not mean to confine the fleets
movements to the Pacific coast. The
presidents plan is to send the war
ships on to Hawaii and then to the
Philippines after their visit to Cali
fornia ports When orders are issued
for their return the route designated
will be via the Suez canal. Thus the
fleet will circumnavigate the globe.

be left unprotected but that at the

representatives of the st. Paul West

"The balloons dispatched to Casa
