about 3361-3 per cent, higher than the
average of last year for the same
grade, indeed, there is more thans that
much difference between prices now

SOUTH BOSTON, VA, October 49,
The South Boston tobacco market is
enjoying brighter outlook than ever
before. 1t is more alive in activity,
and Is In better shape than it has
been for many year. The crops are
larger and better throughout this Sec
ton, and the planter is kept in a
good humor by the excellent prices
he Is receiving for the weed. De-
spite the fact that this has been a
rather dry fall. sales have been good.
and the prices are about 81 per hum
bred higher than they were at this
period last year. This is due to much
better quality. as we'll as higher
prices,
The warehouses and factories thar
We're burned last spring have been
rebuilt. and along with others are
commodious, modern and better adapt
ed for handling tobacco than ever be-
fore. Nearly every dealer has large
and modern reGsying machine. Addi-
tional buyers have been put on this
market. While not a great deal of to-
bacco has yet been marketed. the
average price paid has been abou,
33 Ia per cent. higher than that II
last year. Receipts Will be very heavy
from the first seasonable weather I'M
It'll Christmas.
1T rs predicted in tobacco circles
that this market will sell for the cur
rent year greater quantity than II
has for several years past. South Boss
ton is not only going to maintain her
reputation as being the second larges,
leaf tobacco in the world. but will
make 1T lively for Danville for first
place.

IN THE
HOUSE OF
SCHULTZ
Trouble With Frederick
Helm Over a Note all a
Mistake and Is Settled.

The Schultz case, with all its en-
tangling meshes, fell fiat in the Third
Precinct Police COURT this morning.
There is nc longer an abyss of troubled
waters in the house, or heart, of
Schultz. In fact, there is no longer a
Schultz case. 1t terminated pleasant
ly, all concerned parting without the
slightest asperity of feeling. The court
was satisfied, too.
Less than a month ago Frederick
Helm was accused by the wife of John
Schultz, who works nights in Petty's
drug store, of having delivered to her
one evening a note saying that her
husband was seriously Ill and wanted
to see her at once. When she dressed,
she says, and had-reached her veranda
on hep way to see her husband, she
stated she saw Helm lingering in the
shadow of a tree, and fearing that the
note was merely a ruse, h returned
to the house. A letter addressed to
Helm and signed by a young woman
who works in a Market street depart
ment store was found on the floor of
the hallway next morning, and this
lead to the Identity of the man who
called with the note. The police were
notified and explanations followed.
Some time ago the case was called
before the court in the Third Precinct
Police station, and at hat time Mrs.
Schultz said she did not know Helm.
and, in fact, had never seen him until
the night he called with the note say
ing her husband was i'll. Helm, when
questioned, said that he had known
Mrs. Schultz for some time, n that
he had made a date with her to meet
him in a grocery store. This the woman
Indignantly denied, and the case was
then postponed.
The three people in the case were in
court today, the Schultzes being epre-
scented by a lawyer. He told Acting
Judge Yuill that the three had agreed
to let the matter drop. He explained
that it was a case of misunderstood
ing all around.

CLINTON HILL
ASKS SCHOOL
MEMBER
Improvement Association to
Make Recommendation
-. TO Mayor.

Determined that the territory rep
resented by its members shall have
satisfactory representation in the new
small School Board, substitution of
which for the present board was de-
clared for by the public by a referen-
dun vote last Tuesday, the Clinton Hill
Improvement Association last night
appointed a committee of fifteen to de-
eide upon a suitable representative
whose name they may submit to
Mayor Haussling with a request that
he be appointed.
While it is known hat the Mayor.
Immediately upon the new board being
decided upon, ftook a general survey
of the field from which appointments
will be made with q view to picking
out at once the nine men needed, 1t Is
said that he has not yet fixed upon any
one of them, inc that no action of the
association Is therefore likely to be
brought to a successful issue. h
matter was brought to the meetings
attention by Treasurer Frank Voight,
and 1t at once appealed to the gatner-
ing as an advisable course to pursue.
Thomas S. Fettinger was appointed
chairman of the special committee
which will make the recommendation
to the Mayor. He said today action
would be taken at once. Appointments
will likely be made within a months
time, 1t being necessary for the ap-
pointees to take office January 1 next.
The ACCESSIBILITY of a s~tricter enforce
ment of all trolley Legislation was dis
cussed before the meeting for an hour
or more, having been pr cipitated by a
report julius Koch, of the Railroad
Commission, made concerning an inter
view he had had at the clubs instruc-
lions with Superintendent Danforth, of
the Public Service Corporation. The
club is still striving for cars on the
Clinton avenue line and complains that
in response to It's petitions the trolley
company returns only the stereotyped
replies that years ago became hack
neyed.
Mr.. Koch's report was mainly that Mr..
Danfurth won't commit himself with any
promises until he has had an opportunity
of becoming conversant with the situation.
However, he did succeed In ascertaining
that the reason there is not more accom-
mediation is that 1t is impossible in the
crowded market for any trolley company
to buy cars on short notice. Several of
the club members declared this excuse was
ridiculous. because of it's repetition for
years, and they asked for an explanation
from the company for its failure to keep a
pledge made a year ago, when 1t was
promised that a new line giving the Gin
ton Hill section relief would be opened up
at once. A switch was to be put in at
Eighteenth street and several extra cars
put o nthe line, running up this far and
back again from the Lackawanna station.

FOUR MEN BURNED
SPARK CAUSES EXPLOSION
AT GAS WORKS.
Public Service Corporations Plant
Scene of Great Excitement as
Rescuers Fight Fire.

PATTERSON, Noy. 12.-Four men are
today suffering from the results of a
gas explosion which occurred in the
Public Service Corporations plant on
East Fifth street yesterday afternoon.
Two of the men today left the hos
pital, but it Will be some weeks before
their companions will be able to de-
part.
Only four men were working in the
engine room when the accident oc-
Cured. The workmen were engaged in
cleaning out the wash box" As far
as could be learned a spark from one
of the boilers caused the explosion.
Several big stand pipes pass through
the room in which the new engine is
located. These pipes were in a leaky
condition, due to the recent alterations
made in the room. There is also a
great quantity of carbon refuse in
that particular part of the works.
When the spark from the boilers en-
tered the room and caused the explosion
all this carbon refuse took fire and sent
up great clouds OF. smoke. This added
to the excitement and ais to the diff
Guilty experienced in rescuing the in
jured men.
Employees from other parts of the
works, however, soon succeeded in get
ting all four men out of h room, while
Others with chemical streams fought
the fire, which was soon e~xtinguished.
The explosion was purely an accident.
SO 1t was said by those in authority at
the plant. The room was not damaged
to any extent. as most of the interior
arrangements are of brick and iron.
Work of manufacturing gas was not
interfered with to any extent, and the
plant was in full operation soon after
the accident.
The injured are Peter Doran, so, a
coal passer. residing on River street.
who was the most seriously burned.
His hands and face suffered severely.
The fingers were burned to the bone.
Machie Rokanus, So, also a coal passer,
residing at 25 East Eleventh street, is
also seriously burned. like Doran,
Rokanus is terribly burned about the
hands and face. Fred Merritt, acting
foreman, and Henry Van Petten, were
the other two men burned in the ex-
plosion. While both are quite painfully
burned about the hands, neck and face,
their injuries are not nearly as serious
as (,ose Sustained by their COM
panions. Merritt resides at Is North
Fourth street, and Van Petten at East
| Twenty-third street n First avenue.
All four men were hurried to the
General Hospital. Merritt and Van
Petten were later transferred to their
homes.

WHOSE WIFE IS SHE?
HELEN MAL0NEY SAID TO
HAVE MARRIED GARRISON.
Story from London That the Two Tried
to Get a License for Another Cere-
mony from English Registrar.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia special
London cable to the World says that
Miss Helen Maloney, daughter of Mar
tin Maloney, of Spring Lake, N. j., was
married to Samuel Clarkscn in
Montreal en- October 2. There was
some doubt in the minds of the couple
as to the legality of the Montreal cere-
mony, and when they arrived in Lon
don they tried to get a marriage license
in order to be welded again.
The question of giving them a mar
riage license was carried up to Sir Will
lam Dunbar, the registrar-genera1, and
he refused to grant the license.
The London story goes on:
Mine days after their marriage in
Montreal Mr.. and Mrs. Clarkson' ar
rived here. She went to the Hyde Park
Hotel; he to No. AZ st. James place, a
West End apartment house, wher he
had rented rooms for some time.
"On Saturday, October -, the couple
drove to the marriage registry office.
"'Mr. and Mrs. Clarkson' told the
registrar they wished to be married at
once.
HE replied, formally, that it was
necessary to give twenty-four hours
notice.
