Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have SChnapps

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-

plugs oftobacco is flue cured the same

with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger

Schnapps that they have often been

that they were getting Schnapps.

THE INQUEST HELD.
Nothing Learned About the Body Of
Child Found Tuesday.

The cOrOner'S inquest over the body
of the child which was found dead on
the river road Tuesday was held yes
tcrday at the police station at nine
o'clock. The following men acted as
jurors at the inquts st: c. o. Turner, {.
C. Wentworth. s. c. Decker, +. ID. Lor-
ing, Trying Russell, and VIM. keene.

o'clock with County Attorney Became
and his stcnographer present. Coroner
Andrews presided over the inquest. NJ
A. IIaradcn, James Donovan and Or.
A. w. Strout were sworn in as Wit
ncSScS and the inquest proceeded.
NJ A. Haraden was first called and
he testified that he and James Donovan
were walking home together for dinner
Tuesday noon and that they walked
down the railroad track. When they
We're nearly opposite the home or NJ.
A. Haraden they took the road which
runs mp from the spur of the railroad to
the River road. When about half way
up this road they discovered bundle
underneath Il bush. An examination of
the bundle showed the legs Of baby
protruding through the wrapping of
the bundle. The place where they dis
covered the body was about three feet
from the road to the siding, about 80
feet from River avenue. and about 90
feet from the main track of the rail-
road. Mr.. Haraden notified Coroner An
drewS of the case at once. He stated
that he walked up the same way Sat
urday noon and that he did not see the
bundle at that time and that he would
have probably noticed it If it had been
there. He was of the impression that
the body was carefully placed there
and not thrown either from team or
train.
James Donovan was next called by
the coroner and he merely corroborated
the statements Of Mr.. Haraden.
DIR. F. f. Strout was next called and
sworn He testified that he was called
to the undertaking rooms Of Preble

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Aug. 9-The marked featur,
OF the stock market continued today to be
the relative smallness of the Offering
for sales compared with the late period
OF liquidation. At the same time there
was subsistence of the demand OF an
aggressive sort as result of that buy
ing and the consequent diminution of the
potential demand for stocks were to be
inferred from this. The consequence was
shTinkage in the volume of the deal
ings to smaller aggregate than has been
seen for several weeks past
The decision of the governors of the
Stock Exchange to close the exchange on
Saturday In compliance with the petition
OF members, was an additional factor in
prompting the curtailment Of any new
ventures pending the passing of the triple
holiday. Trading was almost Idle at times
and the current Of the price movement
was feeble and hesitatinS.
A rise in the call loan rate was a nap
pening Of some influence on stocks as
serving to emphasize the narrow margin
calling of loans was reported in prepara-
ton for settlements at the end OF ths
month. Inroads upon the cush supplies
of New York banks for the week reached
considerable figure as SHOWN by the
statement OF ub-treasurv operations. In
spite of the stifYeninG of call loan rates
the time loan market was weaker.
The naming OF full dividend rates on
both classes Of Erie preferred stocks was
better thar was expected, although the
payment is to be made in 10-year war
rants. Quotations were promptly estab
lished for these warrants in the curb
market. Indicating the ability o; stock
holders to secure cash on the distrihu-
ton, although at n considerable discount
from the face value. The raising of the

folded towel. and the head and Shout
dcrs covered by IL night dress. The
child proved to be well developed. The
umbilical cord had not been tied and
the baby had suffered from loss Of
blood. A close examination Of the body
showed that there were no marks Of
external violence. The child had been
washed and when the eyes were opened
remained opened, Indicating that the
child was alive at birth. The limbs of
the child were discolored from exposure
and the face of the body discolored.
The lungs were taken out and examined
and found to be pink in color and
fioated in water. These signs prove
that the baby breathed after birth. The
heart and the other organs were found
to he in n normal condition. DIR. Strout
stated that he had no way Of telling
the age of the infant and that he
formed no opinion as to how the child
met his death. He said that the re-
mains did not Indicate death from
hemorrhagc. Upon being asked If death
might have been caused by SmOthering
I'm the towel. said yes, but appearances
did not point to it," In reply to a
question if the death Of the infant
might have been caused by exposure he
replied that it might have.
DR. A. w. Strout, who assisted in the
autopsy. was then called and corrobo-
rated all the statements OF Dr.. +. Il.
StrOut.
The jury was then called together
and the evidence summed up by Cor
on+r Andrews. After n short deliberl-
ton the jury brought in a verdict that
the infant had come to his death by,
Exposure, or other means unknown to
the jury
Coroner Andrews has not given up
hope of landing the crime upon some
one and since the inquest has run
upon a couple of important clcws, one
of which is the fact that the newspa-
per in which the body was wrapped
was purchased on the train. Work will
be kept up on the case and 1t Is hoped
to land the guilty parties.
