WORE TROUSERS.
Girl Put on Trousers to Make Elopc'

At Pensacola, Fla, somewhat Of a
sensation was sprung thursday when
a man giving his name as w H. Hill
and woman dressed in a mans
clothing were arrested by the police
after they had boarded the steamer
Tarpon for Mobile. The parties ar
rived in the city Sunday morning:
They went direct TO hotel ana
did not appear again until late lhurs-
d,v in the afternoon, when they
,.i,rIed for the Tarpon wharf. On
their way there they passed deputy
sheriff. who was attracted by the
peculiar walk and appearance Of the
one who appeared to be l7-year-old
boy.
The deputy Immediately followed
the couple, and when he secured an
opportunity to look at the faces OF
the strangers he saw that the one
who he had thought was a boy was
without doubt woman. He return
ed to the city and reported the mat
ter to the day Captain Of police. An
investigation was Immediately COM
menced, resulting in the arrest Of
both the man and woman.
The latter stoutly denied that she
was { female. and claimed to be the
son of Hill. She finally admitted her
sex. and gave as an excuse for being
dressed in boys clothing that she
was afraid that the man who had
raised her would learn that she had
married Hill and would kill both OF
them if they were found. Hill claims

make that place his nome. He also

den of Mrs. Ella Brophy. The latter
advised that the former had better
not eat them; this advice was dis
regarded, and, later in the day, Mrs.
Stark ate two of them and died. Her
body was found by A. G. Cox, for
whom she was housekeeper. She was
sitting in chair with a cucumber in
her hand. He notified the coroner.
Mrs. Stark was thirty EIGHT years
old and married. Her husband is a
gunner on the battleship Ohio.
A most horrible form of death was
reported from Brooklyn recently.
John Boland, aged thirty years, was
boiled to death at the plant Of the
Barber Asphalt company while mix
ing asphalt. Boland was on the might
shift" and about three hours after
midnight his associates missed him.
The first intimation that Boland's
fellow workmen had that he had
slipped into the vat was when some
one saw his legs protruding from the
boiling tar. With the help of sticks
and ropes his body was pulled out.
OF course, naturally, it was impos-
sible to prepare Boland's body for
burial, for the suit Of working cloth
es was completely covered with tar
and inseparably attached to the boil
ed flesh. The body, it is stated, had
the appearance of an ebony statue.
and showed signs Of a terrific dying
struggle.
When John Jordan. a St. Paul road
engineer, was passing a restaurant
at Ladd, Mo-, the proprietor came
out to announce that a fish supper
was ready, and beat on a gas drum
to attract attention. The drum explo-
ded with report heard five miles
away. Jordan was blown ten feet.
One leg was nearly torn off, and will
have to be amputated. The fronts Of
three store fronts were destroyed by
the force Of the explosion. The res
taurant man escaped with slight in
juries.
Speaking about fish: Like Poly
crates. a local magnate of the Fosges
has recovered his property from the
inside Of fsn. He has not, however,
thrown it away to propitiate the
gods, and is quite content to have it
back again.
A fisherman on the lake Of Gar
ardmer caught a fine pike weighing
thirtv-tWo pounds. He sold it to the
chief hotel o. the place. In the kit
chen the fish being cleaned, was
found to contain a small purse, in
which was s35 in gold. The cook no
titled the hotel proprietor, who re-
membered the local magnate in ques-
ton, who had been in the house only
a week before, had ac"idc cntally drop
ped his purse while on the lake for a
row. The property thus recovered
has been returned to the owner, who
identified the purse.
Did you get the sassafras?" was
Harvey Harper's first question when
he met Horace Bond after separa-
ton of forty eight years. When Bond
was twelve years old he was sent by
his aunt from Prairie Ronde to Law
ton, both in Michigan. for some sass
afras. Instead of returning at once
he stayed with Harper week, and
then was afraid to go back So he ran
away after leaving Bonds, went to
Georgia, and finally shipped on an
ocean boat as cabin boy. Since then
the greater portion of his life has
been spent on the water, but he has
now returned. Both men served in :
the Union army in the Civil war, but

Value of Fodder.
Prof. Shaw in a seperate article
has the following to say.
''No feature of the reports of the
contestants for prizes in the grain
growers contest has surprised me
more than the high value put upon
corn fodder by contestants living in
the South. Mr.. A. ]. Tindal, for in
stance, of Manning, S. c., has his
corn cut down to the ears and the
fodder stripped off, The weight
thus obtained from an acre. presum-
ably cured, was 400 pounds. This
he valued in his report at $40 per
ton. The corn fodder. presumably
the lower par: of the stalk, was
shredded. Three tons were obtained
and this was valued at S6 per ton.
These facts speak loudly as 70 the
great difference in the estimate OF
the value put upon corn fodder IL

millions of acres go back every year

scarcely possible that such differ

That millions and millions OF
acres Of this produce should go to

That so much should be wasted is

but it is a stigma that yields its
ground very slowly. On" acre Of
corn stover properly cured and fed
is worth as much on the acreage as
one acre of timothy hay. The food
thus grown on 100000 acres Of
corn in the stover is worth as much
as the food grown on 100000

AN EXPENSIVE JOB
The CITY CLAIMS
To Erect Bridge Over Jail Branch Cons
Meeting Batchelder Street With the
East Barre Road. Hearing
Today.

The hearing on the Batchelder street
bridge case Is being heard today in the
city court room before commissioners
Zed S. Stanton of Roxbury, John L.
Moseley of Northfield, and Owen EatoE
OF Warren. This j. the ease IN which,
several years ago the city was petitioned
by freeholders in the city to build q
bridge across the river above Phelps
mill connecting Batchelder street with
the main road TO East Barre.
On account of the large expense to
build the bridge the city council to whom
the petition was presented at that time
refused to act on it. The petitioners
then took the matter up to county court
on the law in regard to roads between
towns and the court appointed the above
named commissioners to hear the facts
and decide whether the bridge ought to
be erected City Attorney j. Ward Carr
yer and John w. Gordon represent the
city, r. N. Harvey and II. w. Scott, APP
pear for the petitioners and R. A. Hoar
for the town. The commissioners and the
five attorneys spent this forenoon look
ing over the site where the bridge Is
asked for.
The commissioners win report at the
next term Of Washington county court
when the court will then decide whether
the city shall build the bridge. The citv
claims that it will cost at least $4,000
to erect the bridge, and enlarge the
bridge at Ayers street.

Assumption Of Irish Names by Petty
Offenders in Court Must Stop,

Editor Times Fridays Times con
tanned an item stating that a woman
was arrested for drunkenness who said
that she was from MiddIesex and her
name was Gallagher The writer be-
came interested and went to the police
station and investigated and found that
the name was assumed. Now, Mr.. Ed
tor, for the benefit Of those hereafter 20
be arrested for any reason, we wish to
state that at the last national cphyeny
tion of the A. @. III. at Saratoga this
matter was discussed at length and it
was fonnd that as general rule most
of the people arrested for minor cffenees
gave assumed names and in THOUSANDS
Cf instances the assumed name was dis
tinctly Irish when the offender was OF
some other nationality. 50 much has
been said on this subject that 1t was
deemed necessary To take some action
and 1t was recommended that commit
tees be appointed in all the larger cities
to investigate and expose those who in
this manner insult a people who are
second to none in this respect for the
observance of the law. A talk with the
police Of this city disclosed the fact
flat this custom has been prevalent in
Barre to large extent and the officers
expressed surprise that the matter had
rot been taken up before now. Now,
in this instance, the woman's name will
not be published by me, but all future
cases where it is found that an Irish
name ii assumed will be given careful
consideration.
